confidential and not to be revealed, disclosed or divulged to any other party
(specifically excluding (x) the agents, advisors and actual or potential
investors and lenders of such Party who need to know such information and who
are advised of the confidential nature of such information, (y) the
representatives of any official committee appointed in the Bankruptcy Cases who

Contracts are given notice of a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to have the
Sellers assign the Assigned Contracts to the Purchaser or its Designees, (ii)

Section 2.7. NO EXPANSION OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. The assumption by
the Purchaser or any of its Designees of the Assumed Liabilities shall in no way
expand the rights or remedies of any third party against the Purchaser, Radio

party would have had against Radio Unica or the Sellers absent the Bankruptcy
Cases and had the Purchaser or any of its Designees not assumed such Assumed
Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the
assumption by the Purchaser or any of its Designees of the Assumed Liabilities
shall not create any third-party beneficiary rights other than with respect to
the Person that is the obligee of such Assumed Liability.

promulgated thereunder (or any similar provision of local or state Tax law) and
shall submit the new proposed Allocation to Radio Unica within sixty (60) days
of such adjustment. If, within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the
proposed Allocation, Radio Unica notifies the Purchaser in writing that Radio
Unica has concluded that the proposed Allocation is not in accordance with
section 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (or any
similar provision of local or state Tax law), then Radio Unica and the Purchaser
shall attempt in good faith to resolve their disagreement within the twenty (20)
days following Radio Unica's notification to the Purchaser of such disagreement.
If Radio Unica does not so notify the Purchaser within twenty (20) days of
receipt of the proposed Allocation, or upon resolution of the dispute by Radio
Unica and the Purchaser, the proposed Allocation shall become the final
Allocation. If Radio Unica and the Purchaser are unable to resolve their
disagreement within the twenty (20) days following any such notification by
Radio Unica, the dispute shall be submitted to a nationally recognized
independent accounting firm chosen jointly by the Purchaser and Radio Unica, for
resolution within twenty (20) days of such submission. All Parties shall
cooperate fully to facilitate a prompt determination of the Allocation. For all
Tax purposes, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be reported
in a manner consistent with the final Allocation and neither Radio Unica, the
Purchaser, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall take any position
inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return (including IRS Form 8594), in any
litigation or otherwise, unless required by applicable Law. The fees, costs and
expenses of the accounting firm retained to resolve any dispute with respect to
the Allocation, if applicable, shall be borne equally by the Purchaser, on the
one hand, and Radio Unica, on the other.
Section 3.5. PRORATION OF INCOME AND EXPENSES; ALLOCATION OF SALES

provided in this Agreement, all of the items customarily prorated relating to

as of the Closing Date, with the Sellers liable to the extent such items relate
to any period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and
the Purchaser liable to the extent such items relate to any period (or portion
thereof) ending after the Closing Date (measured by calendar days):

(b) Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, the net amount of all
such prorations and adjustments provided for in subsection (a) above shall be
settled and paid on the Closing Date by appropriate adjustment to the Purchase
Price. As to those prorations and adjustments not readily ascertained on the
Closing Date, the Purchaser and the Sellers will use their commercially
reasonable efforts to resolve (using reasonable estimates where necessary) and
pay all adjustments and prorations hereunder within ninety (90) days of the
Closing Date. In the event of any disputes between the Parties as to such
adjustments, the amounts not in dispute shall nonetheless be paid at such time
and such disputes shall be resolved by an independent certified public
accountant mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and Radio Unica, and the fees
and expenses of such accountant shall be paid one-half by the Purchaser and
one-half by Radio Unica. The decision of such accountant shall be rendered
within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date and shall be
conclusive and binding on the Parties.

similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is sought

case with such exceptions that would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Radio Unica or
the Purchased Assets. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.9(b) of the Sellers'

(b) Subject to the entry of the Confirmation Order, all material
Taxes due and owing with respect to the Purchased Assets that are not required

providing coverage to former employees following termination of employment.

the foregoing shall not require the Sellers to permit any inspection, or to
disclose any information, that in its reasonable judgment would result in the

obligations with respect to confidentiality owed to third parties, but, to the
extent permitted by the terms thereof, the Sellers shall inform the Purchaser of
any materials and documents subject to such restrictions on disclosure and, to
the extent feasible, redact the restricted information to permit the disclosure

presented or submitted.
(c) Radio Unica shall promptly notify the Purchaser of any Material
Adverse Effect with respect to the Purchased Assets, which notice shall include

shall be held by the Purchaser in accordance with and subject to the terms of
the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2003 (the "CONFIDENTIALITY
AGREEMENT"), between the Purchaser and Radio Unica, all of the terms of which
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution and delivery
of this Agreement or the termination hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Parties
shall be permitted to make disclosures of confidential information thereunder to
any Interested Party. In addition, the Parties agree that the terms and
conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and information provided to
Purchaser in connection with the execution hereof shall be subject to the same
standard of confidentiality as set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and understand that in
connection with seeking the approval of the Bankruptcy Plan, this Agreement
(together with the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto including the Sellers'
Disclosure Letter and Purchaser's Disclosure Letter) will be filed with the
Bankruptcy Court and made publicly available, and, prior to the entry of a
Confirmation Order, disclosures relating to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement will be made to each official committee appointed in connection
with the Bankruptcy Cases and to its advisors and representatives, and the
Parties agree that such filing and disclosure will be not be deemed to violate
any confidentiality obligations owing to any
43
Party, whether pursuant to this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or
otherwise. This Section 8.6 shall not in any way limit the disclosure of
information by Radio Unica or the Sellers in connection with the administration
of the Bankruptcy Cases.

representative, or other agent of the Parties and their Affiliates) may disclose
to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and
any facts that may be relevant to the Tax structure of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (the "TRANSACTION") beginning on the earlier of
(i) the date of the public announcement of discussions relating to the
Transaction, (ii) the date of public announcement of the Transaction, or (iii)
the date of this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section
8.6(b) shall permit the Parties or their Affiliates (or any employee,
representative or other agent thereof) to disclose (y) any information that is
not necessary to understanding the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the
Transaction (including the identity of the Parties or their Affiliates or any
information that could lead another to determine the identity of the Parties or
their Affiliates) or (z) any information to the extent that such disclosure
could result in a violation of any federal or state securities Law.
Section 8.7. APPROPRIATE ACTIONS; REGISTRATIONS, FILINGS AND
CONSENTS.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, after the
date hereof each of the Parties (i) shall take, or cause to be taken, all

any Governmental Entity, in each case in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) use its commercially reasonable
efforts to consult with and keep the other Parties informed as to the status of
such matters. Radio Unica, the Sellers and the Purchaser will cooperate and use
their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as
practicable, all consents, approvals, waivers and authorizations required by
Section 9.1 hereof; provided the Purchaser shall be entitled to direct any
proceedings or negotiations with any Governmental Entity relating to the matters
described in Section 8.7(c), provided that it shall afford Radio Unica and the
Sellers a reasonable opportunity to participate therein.
(b) The Purchaser will use its reasonable efforts to maintain the
commitment for financing set forth in the Existing Commitment Letter in
accordance with the terms thereof and, upon any occurrence of a Trigger Date, to
obtain and maintain a commitment (inclusive of the Existing Commitment Letter, a
"COMMITMENT LETTER") for debt financing of not less than $190 million on terms
that in all material respects are no less favorable to the Purchaser (and the
affiliated buyers contemplated thereby) than the terms of the Existing
Commitment Letter ("FINANCING").
44
(c) The Sellers and the Purchaser shall take all actions necessary to
file as soon as practicable after the approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the
Break-Up Payment Order (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the
date thereof) all notifications, filings and other documents required under the
HSR Act, and to respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests
received from the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Entity,
including for additional information or documentation. The Purchaser agrees to
take promptly all commercially reasonable steps necessary to avoid or eliminate
each and every impediment under any antitrust or competition law that may be
asserted by any Governmental Entity so as to enable the Parties to expeditiously
close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; PROVIDED, that, except as
provided in Section 8.8(c), the Purchaser shall not be obligated to (i)
prosecute or defend any litigation against any Governmental Entity, (ii) divest
any assets or discontinue or modify any of its operations, or (iii) accept or
become subject to any condition or requirement in order to obtain approval of,
or avoid or eliminate an impediment to, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, other than in the cases of clauses (ii) and
(iii) for such divestitures, discontinuances, modifications, conditions or
requirements as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on the assets, business, financial condition or results of
operations of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Parties
agree that the filing fee required to be paid in connection with the filing
under the HSR Act shall be borne equally by Radio Unica and the Purchaser.
Section 8.8. FCC CONSENT AND APPLICATION.
(a) FCC CONSENT. The transactions contemplated hereby are expressly
conditioned on and subject to the prior consent and approval of the FCC to
assignment of the FCC Licenses from the Sellers to the Purchaser or its Designee
("FCC CONSENT") and the FCC Consent becoming a Final Order.
(b) FCC APPLICATION. Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts
to prepare and execute its respective portion of an application for FCC Consent
("FCC APPLICATION") to assignment of the FCC Licenses from the appropriate
Seller to the Purchaser and/or its Designee within five (5) Business Days, and
in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days, after execution of this
Agreement, and each Seller shall promptly thereafter file the completed FCC
Application with the FCC with respect to its Acquired Station. The Parties shall
thereafter prosecute the FCC Application with all reasonable diligence and
otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the grant of the FCC
Application as expeditiously as practicable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, subject to
Section 8.8(c), the Purchaser shall have the right in its sole discretion to
make all decisions concerning any divestiture commitments necessary to comply

divestitures required in order to obtain the FCC Consent; PROVIDED that the
foregoing sentence shall be subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below.
Failure to obtain any of the waivers set forth above shall not limit the
Purchaser's obligations pursuant to subsection (c) below.
45
(c) The Purchaser, Radio Unica and the Sellers each agree to take
promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every
impediment and obtain all consents or waivers under FCC Rules or any
communications or broadcast Law that may be validly required by the FCC, so as
to enable the Parties to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
as expeditiously as reasonably possible, including committing to or effecting,
by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, the sale or
disposition of such of its assets or businesses as are required to be divested
in order to obtain the FCC Consent, or to avoid the entry of, or to effect the
dissolution of or vacate or lift, any Order that would otherwise have the effect
of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, neither the Purchaser nor any
of its Affiliates shall be required to divest any of its material assets or
accept any material limitation on any of its businesses other than (i) the
divestiture of one radio station serving the Los Angeles market and one radio
station serving the
New York market, in either case selected by the Purchaser in
its sole discretion or (ii) limitations on its operation of its broadcast assets
in the Los Angeles and

required to comply with the FCC Multiple Ownership Rules.

applicable Law as a result of such notice being provided to the FCC.
Section 8.9. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS. Except (A) as expressly
contemplated by this Agreement, the Related Documents or the transactions
contemplated herein or therein, (B) as set forth in SCHEDULE 8.9 of the Sellers'
Disclosure Letter or (C) with the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except with
respect to matters covered by Section 8.9(b)(i) which consent may be withheld in
the Purchaser's sole discretion), the Sellers agree that, between the date of
this Agreement and the Closing Date:
(a) the Sellers shall and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to
operate and maintain the Purchased Assets in the ordinary course consistent with
past practice; and
(b) the Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of their

Assets, in the aggregate, having a value not in excess of $50,000;

Agreement;
46
(iii) cancel, terminate, amend or modify in any material
respect any existing Contract relating to the Business or any Assigned
Contract or exercise any material right with respect thereto (including the
exercise of any renewal option, right of first refusal or similar
preemption right);
(iv) fail to preserve Purchased Assets or deploy
maintenance capital in the ordinary course;
(v) grant, promise or otherwise agree to extend to any
customer or prospective customer of the Business any credit for products or

with applicable Laws including EHS Laws; or
(ix) commit to any of the foregoing.
Section 8.10. ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT. The Purchaser may, at its own
expense, retain a qualified contractor to perform a Phase I environmental audit
and, if recommended by such contractor, a Phase II environmental audit with
respect to any Real Property, such audits to be completed within thirty (30)
days from the date of this Agreement. Each Seller shall provide such contractor
reasonably detailed information about and access to the relevant Real Property
for purposes of such audit(s).
47
Section 8.11. TITLE INSURANCE AND SURVEY.
(a) Each Seller shall permit the Purchaser to obtain before the
Closing Date a commitment for title insurance (a "TITLE COMMITMENT") from a
title insurance company selected by the Purchaser (the "TITLE COMPANY") to
issue, at the Purchaser's expense, an owner's title insurance policy insuring
the fee simple interest of such Seller in and to the Owned Real Property and a
lessee's title insurance policy insuring the leasehold interest of such Seller
in and to the Leased Real Property (each, a "TITLE POLICY"). The Title
Commitments shall be in the amount authorized by the Purchaser, shall set forth
the status of the title of the Real Property, and shall show all Liens and all
other matters of record affecting the Real Property. The Title Policies shall be
issued on the Closing Date.

expense before the Closing Date a survey (a "SURVEY") of each parcel of Real
Property which shall: (i) be prepared by a registered land surveyor selected by
the Purchaser; (ii) be certified to the Title Company, the Purchaser (or any
Designee) and the Purchaser's lenders; and (iii) show with respect to the Real
Property: (A) the legal description of the Real Property (which shall be the

improvements thereon and all restrictions of record and other restrictions that
have been established by an applicable zoning or building code or ordinance and

encroachments upon the Real Property or adjoining parcels by buildings,
structures or improvements; (D) access to such parcel from a public street; and
(E) a flood certification reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser to the effect
that no portion of the Real Property is located within a flood hazard area.
(c) The Purchaser may at its election inform Radio Unica in writing
within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement with respect to which of
the Real Property it intends to obtain Title Commitments and Surveys. The
Purchaser's failure thereafter to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
any such Title Commitments and Surveys, or any election by Purchaser not to
obtain any such Title Commitments and Surveys, shall not be a breach of this
Agreement, but the condition to Closing in Section 9.3(g) with respect to such
Title Commitments and Surveys shall be deemed waived.
Section 8.12. EMPLOYEES. The Purchaser may but shall not be required
to offer employment effective as of the Closing to individuals employed in
respect of the Business (collectively, "BUSINESS EMPLOYEES"), on such terms as
the Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion; PROVIDED that the Purchaser
shall cause its hiring process to comply with applicable Laws pertaining to
labor and employment, including without limitation Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans
with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, ERISA, and comparable state and
local Laws. Radio Unica and the Sellers shall cooperate with the Purchaser's
reasonable requests for access to the Business Employees for purposes of making
any such employment offer and shall not otherwise interfere with the Purchaser's
efforts to hire Business Employees. Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall
provide the Sellers with a list of such employees to whom offers of employment
have been made or will be made by the Purchaser. Upon each such employee's
acceptance of such offer, the Sellers shall take such steps as may be necessary
to terminate any
48
employment relationship with such employee effective not later than the Closing
Date. The Sellers waive any claims against the Purchaser and any employee who
accepts the Purchaser's offer arising under any confidentiality agreement or
non-competition agreement between such person and the Sellers. The provisions of
this Section 8.12 shall neither create any rights in any employee to continued
employment with the Purchaser or any Designee for any specified period of time,
nor create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Business Employee, or any
other person (including any heir, beneficiary, executor, administrator, or
representative of any employee or any other person claiming through any such
employee or other person), with respect to such employee's or other person's
employment or any term or condition thereof.
Section 8.13. ADJUSTMENTS. The Purchase Price shall be reduced, as of
the Closing Date, by (i) the aggregate value of any Purchased Assets sold or
otherwise transferred to any Person other than the Purchaser or any Designee
pursuant to Section 8.9(b)(i)(B), (ii) the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate loss of Purchased Assets as a result of damage or destruction by fire
or other casualty, net of any related insurance proceeds received or to be
received pursuant to this Agreement in respect thereof, exceeds $1 million, and
(iii) the aggregate loss in value with respect to the Purchased Assets as the
result of any breach as of the Closing Date by Radio Unica or the Sellers of
their representations and warranties contained in (A) the second sentence of
Section 5.4(a), (B) the third sentence of Section 5.4(b)(i), (C) the second
sentence of Section 5.5 and (D) the second and third sentences of Section
5.8(a). Radio Unica shall notify the Purchaser promptly in writing of any such
sale or sales, damage or destruction or breach. If any such sale, damage or
destruction or breach would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Purchased
Assets, the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, if applicable, pursuant to
Section 10.1(i). For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustments to the Purchase
Price that are required pursuant to this Section 8.13 shall not be deemed to
cure any breaches of covenants or failures of representations and warranties to
be true and correct for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 9.3 have been satisfied.
Section 8.14. CURE COSTS. The Sellers shall be exclusively
responsible for the payment of all costs, expenses and obligations required to
cure any existing defaults under any of the Assigned Contracts (or any other
Contracts assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(d)), or otherwise to
permit the assumption of the Assigned Contracts (or any other Contracts assumed
by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(d)) and their assignment to the
Purchaser or its Designee pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) by Radio Unica, if the Board of Directors determines in good
faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors,
that entering into an Alternative Agreement with regard to a Superior Proposal
is necessary or advisable to satisfy the fiduciary duties of the Board of
Directors under applicable Law; PROVIDED that Radio Unica shall have the right
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this subparagraph (f) only if it has
complied with the provisions of Section 8.2 hereof, and complies with the
requirements of Section 10.4 hereof relating to the payment (including the
timing of any payment) of the Break-Up Payment or Allowed Break-Up Payment

Purchaser that it is unable to obtain the consents required by Section 9.3(f);
(h) by Radio Unica, if there shall have been a breach of any covenant
or agreement on the part of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, or if any
representation or warranty of the Purchaser shall have been or become untrue, in
each case such that the conditions set forth in Section 9.2(a) or (b) would not
be satisfied, and any such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days of
the date of written notice of such breach from Radio Unica, so long as Radio
Unica or any Seller is not then in breach of any of its obligations under this
Agreement;
(i) by the Purchaser, if there shall have been a breach of any
covenant or agreement on the part of Radio Unica or the Sellers set forth in
this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Radio Unica or the
Sellers shall have been or become untrue, in each case such that the conditions
set forth in Section 9.3(a) or (b) would not be satisfied, and any such breach
has not been cured within thirty (30) days, or five (5) days if the breach is in
respect of the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 8.1, of the date of
written notice of such breach from the Purchaser, so long as the Purchaser is

(C) Radio Unica gives the Purchaser written notice of termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(j) after such Failure occurs (but

termination as aforesaid, the Purchaser had obtained a replacement Commitment
Letter with respect to the Financing); and
(k) by the Purchaser, if the Break-Up Payment Order is not entered by
the Bankruptcy Court within thirty (30) days following the commencement of the

Section 10.2. NOTICE OF TERMINATION. In the event of any termination
pursuant to this Article X, written notice thereof setting forth the reasons
therefor shall promptly be given to the other Parties and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by
any Party.
Section 10.3. EFFECT OF TERMINATION. If validly terminated pursuant
to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become wholly void and of no further force
and effect without any liability whatsoever to Radio Unica, the Sellers and the
Purchaser or any of its or their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives, except that the
obligations of the Purchaser under the Confidentiality Agreement and the
obligations of the Parties under the Escrow Agreement, this Section 10.3 and
Sections 3.2, 8.6, 10.4, 10.5 and Article XII of this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
Section 10.4. BREAK-UP PAYMENT.
(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Radio Unica
pursuant to Section 10.1(f) or by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.1(e), the
Sellers agree to pay to the Purchaser the Break-Up Payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
any such Break-Up Payment shall not be due and payable if (i) a Material Adverse
Effect on the Purchaser shall have occurred (other than as a direct result of a
material breach by Radio Unica or any of the Sellers of any provision of this
Agreement), or (ii) the Purchaser shall have breached any of its obligations,
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement in any material
respect and such breach has not been cured. The Purchaser shall have immediately
earned any such Break-Up Payment as of (i) the date Radio Unica terminates this
Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(f) or (ii) the earliest date the Purchaser
could have terminated this Agreement under Section 10.1(e). Upon payment of the
Break-Up Payment as provided in Section 10.4(b) and the return of the Escrow
Deposit to the Purchaser, Radio Unica, each Seller and their respective
Affiliates shall be fully released and discharged from any liability under or
resulting from this Agreement and the Purchaser shall not have any other remedy
or cause of action under or relating to this Agreement or any applicable Law
including for reimbursement of expenses. The release and discharge from
liability referred to in the preceding sentence shall be self-executing, and
shall be effective immediately upon payment of the Break-Up Payment and the
return of the Escrow Deposit.
(b) Any Break-Up Payment payable to the Purchaser pursuant to Section
10.4(a) shall be paid:
(i) on or before the fifth Business Day after the
Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(e) unless the
Bankruptcy Court orders otherwise in the Break-Up Payment Order itself or
the Break-Up Payment Claim Order itself, as applicable; or
(ii) contemporaneously with and as a condition to the
effectiveness of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.1(f).
(c) Radio Unica and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that (i) the
payment of the Break-Up Payment or, if applicable, the allowance of the Allowed
Break-Up Payment Claim and
54
the Restructuring Companies' agreement to request Administration Claim status
therefore is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, (ii) in the absence of the Restructuring Companies' obligations to
make this payment and agreement to request such status, the Purchaser would not
have entered into this Agreement, (iii) the entry of the Purchaser into this
Agreement is necessary for preservation of the estate(s) of the Restructuring
Companies and beneficial to the Restructuring Companies, (iv) the Break-Up
Payment is reasonable in relation to the Purchaser's efforts and to the
magnitude of the transaction and (v) time is of the essence with respect to
entry of the Break-Up Payment Order.
Section 10.5. REMEDIES UPON TERMINATION.
(a) In the event Radio Unica terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 10.1(h), then Radio Unica and the Sellers shall be entitled to seek all
rights and remedies available to them at law or in equity; PROVIDED, that the
aggregate money damages payable to Radio Unica and the Sellers in such event
shall not exceed Thirty-Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($37,500,000).
(b) In the event the Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 10.1(e), or Radio Unica terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.1(f), then, as the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, the Purchaser shall
receive an amount equal to the Break-Up Payment as liquidated damages in
accordance with Section 10.4.
(c) In the event the Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 10.1(i), then the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek all rights and
remedies available to it at law or in equity; PROVIDED, that the aggregate money
damages payable to the Purchaser in such event shall not exceed Thirty-Seven
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($37,500,000) less the amount of a
Break-Up Payment, if any, received by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.4.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event payment is made under
Section 3.2(a)(iii), the provisions of Section 10.5(a) shall not be applicable.
ARTICLE XI
SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION
Section 11.1. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. The representations and
warranties in this Agreement shall terminate and will have no further force and
effect after the Closing Date. No covenants or agreements of the Parties
contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date, except those
covenants that contemplate or may involve actions to be taken or obligations in
effect after the Closing Date.
Section 11.2. POST-CLOSING INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent provided in
this Article XI, from and after the Closing Date, Radio Unica and each Seller,
jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Purchaser for the failure to deliver
to the Purchaser or its Designee good and marketable title to, and possession
of, the Tangible Personal Property identified in SCHEDULE 2.1(b) of the Sellers'
Disclosure Letter free and clear of all claims (as defined under the Bankruptcy
Code), interests and Liens other than Permitted Liens to the extent such
Permitted
55
Liens cannot be removed by operation of sections 105, 363(f) or 1141 of the
Bankruptcy Code; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Purchaser shall not be reimbursed
for any such failure that has been the subject of an adjustment to the Purchase
Price pursuant to Section 8.13 hereof (including any deductible contained
therein).
Section 11.3. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES AND LIMITATIONS. Any
Indemnity Claim must be made by delivering written notice to Radio Unica,
specifying the Tangible Personal Property that is the subject of such Indemnity
Claim and the amount of reimbursement sought (which amount shall not be
determinative of the final amount of the Indemnity Claim), within thirty (30)
days after the Closing Date. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section
11.2 shall not include any Taxes incurred by the Purchaser or its Affiliates as
a result of receiving a payment under this Article XI.
Section 11.4. HOLDBACK ESCROW. Any amounts due and owing to the
Purchaser pursuant to an Indemnity Claim shall be paid promptly out of the
Holdback Deposit in accordance with the Holdback Escrow Agreement.
Notwithstanding the termination of the Holdback Escrow Agreement or the full
disbursement and/or release of the Holdback Deposit, Radio Unica and the Sellers
shall remain liable for any Indemnity Claim as provided in this Article XI.
Section 11.5. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. The indemnification provisions of
this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser
following the Closing for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any
representation, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or other
provision of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than
for claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or any breach of a
covenant of Radio Unica or the Sellers that survives the Closing as provided in
Section 11.1. Under no circumstances shall any Party be entitled to special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.1. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Any provision of this Agreement
may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing
and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Radio Unica, each of the Sellers and
the Purchaser, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver
is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party or Parties in exercising
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor
shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Section 12.2. EXPENSES. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, including Section 10.4, whether or not the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Parties shall bear their own
respective expenses (including, but not limited to, all compensation and
expenses of counsel, financial advisors, consultants, actuaries and independent
accountants) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.
56
Section 12.3. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. Each of the Parties agrees with the
other Parties that, except as may be required to comply with the requirements of
applicable Law or the requests, rules and regulations of each stock exchange
upon which the securities of one of the Parties or its Affiliates is listed, no
press release or similar public announcement or communication will be made or
caused to be made concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement
unless specifically approved in advance by all Parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
to the extent that any Party to this Agreement is required by applicable Law or
the requests, rules and regulations of any stock exchange upon which the
securities of one of the Parties or its Affiliates is listed to make such a
public disclosure, such public disclosure shall only be made after prior
consultation with the other Parties.
Section 12.4. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Parties recognize that if any
Party breaches this Agreement or refuses to perform under the provisions of this
Agreement, monetary damages alone would not be adequate to compensate the
non-breaching Party or Parties for their injuries. The non-breaching Party or
Parties shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may
be available, to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. If
any action is brought by the non-breaching Party or Parties to enforce this
Agreement, the Party in breach shall waive the defense that there is an adequate
remedy at law. No provision of this Section 12.4 shall be deemed to nullify any
of the limitations on money damages set forth in Section 10.5.
Section 12.5. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement and the rights and
obligations of the Parties hereunder shall not be assigned, delegated or
otherwise transferred by Radio Unica, any Seller or the Purchaser; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Purchaser may assign its rights to purchase the Purchased
Assets or assume any Assigned Contract to any Designee, and the Purchaser may
assign this Agreement, and its rights hereunder, to any of its lenders, but in
no event will such assignment relieve the Purchaser of its obligations
hereunder.
Section 12.6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including all
Schedules and Exhibits hereto, the Sellers' Disclosure Letter and the
Purchasers' Disclosure Letter) contains the entire agreement among the Parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, except for
the Confidentiality Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect for
the term provided for therein.
Section 12.7. FULFILLMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. Any obligation of any Party
to any other Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed,
satisfied or fulfilled by an Affiliate of such Party or Designee, shall be
deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.
Section 12.8. PARTIES IN INTEREST; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Radio
Unica, each Seller and the Purchaser, or their successors or permitted assigns,
any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
57
Section 12.9. SCHEDULES. The inclusion of any matter in any Schedule
to this Agreement shall be deemed to be an inclusion for all purposes of this
Agreement, to the extent that such disclosure is sufficient to identify the
section to which such disclosure is responsive, but inclusion therein shall not
be deemed to constitute an admission, or otherwise imply, that any such matter
is material or creates a measure for materiality for the purposes of this
Agreement. The disclosure of any particular fact or item in any Schedule,
Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed an admission as to whether the fact or
item is "material" or would constitute a "Material Adverse Effect."
Section 12.10. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and any amendments hereto
may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be
an original by the Parties executing such counterpart, but all of which shall be
considered one and the same instrument.
Section 12.11. HEADINGS. The section and paragraph headings and table
of contents contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.13. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. Notwithstanding the fact that
this Agreement has been drafted or prepared by one of the Parties, the Parties
confirm that both they and their respective counsel have reviewed, negotiated
and adopted this Agreement as the joint agreement and understanding of the
Parties, and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the
language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of
strict construction construing ambiguities against the draftsperson shall be
applied against any Person.
Section 12.14. GOVERNING LAW. Except to the extent the mandatory
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of
New York applicable
to contracts made and to be performed entirely in such state without regard to
principles of conflicts or choice of laws or any other law that would make the
laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of
New York applicable
hereto. The Parties agree that, except as provided herein or in the Escrow
Agreement, without limitation of any Party's right to appeal any order of the
Bankruptcy Court, upon the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (a) the
Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive
59
jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or
disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement,
any breach or default hereunder, or the transactions contemplated herein; and
(b) any and all Claims relating to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained
only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Parties hereby consent and submit to the
jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.
Section 12.15. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any
provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any
circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable
provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be
valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable
provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such
provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such
invalidity or unenforceability.
Section 12.16. LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE. To facilitate the transfer of the
Purchased Assets as part of a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code,
the Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or part, to a
"qualified intermediary" (within the meaning of Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) of the
Treasury Regulations). In such case, the Purchaser will identify the qualified
intermediary to the Sellers in writing, and the Sellers shall convey the
Purchased Assets (or such portion thereof as is designated in writing by the
Purchaser or the qualified intermediary) as instructed by the qualified
intermediary at the Closing. The Sellers agree to take such actions, execute
such documents, and otherwise cooperate with the Purchaser and the qualified
intermediary as necessary or appropriate to consummate any such Section 1031
exchange; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Section 1031 exchange shall not relieve
the Purchaser of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

the said property until and unless said additional expenses, fees and charges
shall be fully paid. The foregoing indemnities in this Section 4.02 shall
survive the resignation or substitution of Escrow Agent or the Termination
Date.
Section 4.03. If Purchaser and Radio Unica shall be in disagreement
about the interpretation of the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, or about
the rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by
Escrow Agent hereunder, Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, file
an appropriate civil action to resolve the disagreement. Escrow Agent shall be
indemnified, jointly and severally, by Purchaser and Radio Unica for all

Section 4.08. In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder
or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by Escrow Agent

claims among the Purchaser and Radio Unica and any other Person with respect

to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with
respect to such Escrow Funds so long as such dispute or conflict shall
continue, and Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to
Purchaser or Radio Unica for failure or refusal to comply with such
conflicting claims, demands or instructions. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
refuse to act until, in its sole discretion, either (i) such conflicting or
adverse claims or demands shall have been determined by a final order,
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, which order, judgment
or decree is not subject to appeal, or settled by agreement between the
conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to Escrow Agent or
(ii) Escrow Agent shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to
it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all losses which it
may incur by reason of so acting. Any court order, judgment or decree shall be
accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party,
satisfactory to Escrow Agent, to the effect that said order, judgment or
decree represents a final adjudication of the rights of the parties by a court
of competent jurisdiction, and that the time for appeal from such order,
judgment or decree has expired without an appeal having been filed with such
court. Escrow Agent shall act on such court order and legal opinions without
further question. Escrow Agent may, in addition, elect, in its sole
discretion, to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief
or orders as it may deem, in its sole discretion, necessary. The costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and shall be deemed a joint

action, and shall be fully protected in suspending all or part of its
activities under this Agreement until a final judgment, without any further
right of appeal, in such action is received.
Section 4.04. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistakes of
facts or errors of judgment, or for any acts or omissions of any kind, unless
caused by its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
Section 4.05. Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of its own
choosing, at the joint expense of Purchaser and Radio Unica, as to any matter
relating to this Holdback Escrow Agreement, and Escrow Agent shall not incur
any liability in acting in good faith in accordance with any advice from such
counsel.
Section 4.06. Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not
performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility
hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of Escrow Agent
(including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future
law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil
unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or
the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire
or communication facility).
Section 4.07. Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the
Escrow Funds held by it hereunder any greater degree of care than it gives its
own similar property and shall not be required to invest any funds held
hereunder except as directed in this Holdback Escrow Agreement. Uninvested
funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest.
Section 4.08. In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder
or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by Escrow Agent
hereunder, Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any
action other than to retain possession of the Escrow Funds, unless Escrow
Agent receives written instructions signed by each of Purchaser and Radio
Unica, which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty.
Section 4.09. In the event of any dispute between or conflicting
claims among the Purchaser and Radio Unica and any other Person with respect
to any Escrow Funds, Escrow Agent shall be entitled, in its sole discretion,
to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with
respect to such Escrow Funds so long as such dispute or conflict shall
continue, and Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to
Purchaser or Radio Unica for failure or refusal to comply with such
conflicting claims, demands or instructions. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
refuse to act until, in its sole discretion, either (i) such conflicting or
adverse claims or demands shall have been determined by a final order,
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, which order, judgment
or decree is not subject to appeal, or settled by agreement between the
conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to Escrow Agent or
(ii) Escrow Agent shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to
it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all losses which it
may incur by reason of so acting. Any court order, judgment or decree shall be
accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party,
satisfactory to Escrow Agent, to the effect that said order, judgment or
decree represents a final adjudication of the rights of the parties by a court
of competent jurisdiction, and that the time for appeal from such order,
judgment or decree has expired without an appeal having been filed with such
court. Escrow Agent shall act on such court order and legal opinions without
further question. Escrow Agent may, in addition, elect, in its sole
discretion, to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief
or orders as it may deem, in its sole discretion, necessary. The costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and shall be deemed a joint
and several obligation of, Purchaser and Radio Unica.
ARTICLE 5

Section 5.01. As partial consideration of Radio Unica's entering into
this Agreement, Purchaser hereby agrees to be solely responsible for and pay
Escrow Agent its annual (if applicable) fee for the services to be rendered
hereunder as provided in Exhibit B hereto. Any fees due to Escrow Agent,
including investment fees or other investment-related charges, may be deducted
by Escrow Agent from the investment earnings on the Escrow if Escrow Agent
provides Purchaser and Radio Unica with a listing of such fees in reasonable
detail. Any investment fees or investment-related charges in excess of
investment earnings will be paid by Purchaser.

CHANGE OF ESCROW AGENT
Section 6.01. A national banking association located in the United
States of America or a state bank or trust company organized under the laws of
a state of the United States of America, qualified as a depository of public
funds, may be substituted to act as Escrow Agent under this Agreement upon the
agreement of Purchaser and Radio Unica. Such substitution shall not be deemed
to affect the rights or obligations of the Parties. Upon any such
substitution, Escrow Agent agrees to assign to such substitute Escrow Agent
its rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Section 6.02. Escrow Agent or any successor may at any time resign by
giving notice by registered or certified mail to Purchaser and Radio Unica of
its intention to resign and of the proposed date of resignation, which shall
be a date not less than thirty (30) days after such notice is deposited in the
United States mail with postage fully prepaid, unless an earlier resignation
date and the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent shall have been or are
approved by Purchaser and Radio Unica. If Purchaser and Radio Unica are unable
to agree upon a successor escrow agent within thirty (30) days after such
notice, Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief.
Section 6.03. Any corporation into which Escrow Agent, or any
successor to it of the duties and responsibilities created by this Agreement,
may be merged or converted or with which it or any successor to it may be

consolidation or reorganization to which Escrow Agent or any successor to it
may be a party or any entity to which Escrow Agent may sell or transfer all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business, shall be the successor
Escrow Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper
or any other act on the part of the Parties, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

any other jurisdiction other than the State of New York applicable hereto. The
Parties agree that, except as provided herein or in the Purchase Agreement,
without limitation of any Party's right to appeal any order of the Bankruptcy
Court, upon the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (a) the Bankruptcy Court
