(g)If the 2023 EBITDA, as finally determined pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section 3(e), as applicable, is less than $9,500,000, the Sellers will not be entitled to exercise the Put Right and the Put Exercise Notice will be deemed automatically withdrawn. If the 2023 EBITDA, as finally determined pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section 3(e), as applicable, is at least $9,500,000, unless mutually agreed by the Sellers Representative and the Buyer in writing, the consummation of the sale and transfer of the Option Shares pursuant to this Section 3 will occur on a date (the “Put Closing Date”) determined by the Buyer, which date will be within 60 days after final determination of the Put Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section 3(e), as applicable.

Execution Copy

 

For the purposes of this Agreement:


	
 
	
(i)
	
“Accelerated Put Event” shall mean the approval by the relevant governing body of the Company (i.e. the general shareholders meeting or the board of directors) of any of the Accelerated Put Matters (as defined herein) without the favorable vote of the director appointed by Sorin Properties or of Sorin Properties, as applicable. 





	
 
	
(ii)
	
Accelerated Put Matters” means the following: (i) the approval of the Annual Budget (as such term is defined in the Shareholders Agreement) or the approval of any material amendments to an Annual Budget previously approved by the board with the favorable vote of the director appointed by Sorin Properties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Annual Budget approved by the Parties for the remainder of 2020 and for 2021 attached to the Shareholders Agreement as Exhibit 3); and (ii) the appointment, removal or replacement of the CEO of the Company. 




The Sellers agree that the Sellers Representative shall be able to decide, at its sole discretion, whether or not the Sellers shall exercise the Accelerated Put Right, for which purposes the Sellers hereby grant the Sellers Representative the full power and authority to exercise the Accelerated Put Right on their behalf. Any decision by the Sellers Representative to exercise the Accelerated Put Right on behalf of all the Sellers shall be final and binding upon them.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Accelerated Put Right may not be exercised if the Buyer has previously delivered to the Sellers the Call Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 2(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the Accelerated Put Right can be exercised regardless of the achieved EBITDA for any calendar year. 

(c)Subject to Section 4(b), the Accelerated Put Right may be exercised by delivery from the Sellers Representative of a written notice of such exercise (the “Accelerated Put Exercise Notice”) to the Buyer at any time during any of the Accelerated Put Option Periods. Upon delivery of an Accelerated Put Exercise Notice in accordance with this Section 4, the Buyer (or one or more of its delegates) will be obligated to purchase from the Sellers, and the Sellers will be obligated to sell and transfer to Buyer (or one or more of its delegates), the Option Shares for an aggregate purchase price that equals the result of (i) the Company Valuation multiplied by (ii) the aggregated Seller Ownership Percentage of the Sellers  (the “Accelerated Put Purchase Price”). Within 30 days following the later of (A) Buyer’s receipt of the Accelerated Put Exercise Notice or (B) Entravision’s filing with the SEC of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year preceding the one where the Accelerated Put Option is exercised, if applicable, Buyer will prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Sellers Representative a written statement (the “Accelerated Put Valuation Statement”) setting forth (i) the Buyer’s calculation of the EBITDA for the corresponding Relevant Measurement Period, and (ii) based thereon, the Buyer’s determination of the Company Valuation and the Accelerated Put Purchase Price. Within 20 Business Days following the Sellers Representative’s receipt of the Accelerated Put Valuation Statement from Buyer, the Sellers Representative may elect to not exercise the Accelerated Put Right by delivering written notice of such decision to Buyer from the Sellers Representative (the “Accelerated Put Rejection Notice”).

(d)The Sellers Representative will have 20 Business Days from their receipt of the Accelerated Put Valuation Statement from the Buyer (the “Accelerated Put Objection Period”) to review the Accelerated Put Valuation Statement. Upon the expiration of the Accelerated Put Objection Period, the Sellers Representative will be deemed to have accepted (and will be deemed to have waived all rights with respect to), and will be bound by, the Accelerated Put Valuation Statement and the calculation of Company’s EBITDA for the corresponding Relevant Measurement Period , the Company Valuation and the Accelerated Put Purchase Price set forth therein, unless the Sellers Representative have notified Buyer in writing of their disagreement with the Accelerated Put Valuation Statement prior to the expiration of the Accelerated Put Objection Period (the “Accelerated Put Objection”), specifying each disputed item (each, a “Disputed Accelerated Put Item”) and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each Disputed Accelerated Put Item.  The Buyer will have 20 Business Days from the date on which it receives the Accelerated Put Objection to review and respond to such Accelerated Put Objection (the “Buyer Accelerated Put Response”).  To the extent the Buyer and the Sellers Representative are able to negotiate in good faith mutually agreeable resolutions for the Disputed Accelerated Put Items, the Accelerated Put Valuation Statement will be modified as necessary to reflect such mutually agreed resolution(s). If the Buyer and the Sellers Representative are able to resolve all Disputed Accelerated Put Items, the Accelerated Put Valuation Statement and the calculation of the Company’s EBITDA for the corresponding Relevant Measurement Period , the Company Valuation and the Accelerated Put Purchase Price set forth therein, as modified by such resolutions, will be deemed final, non-appealable and binding among the Buyer, the Sellers and the Sellers Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

(e)If the Sellers Representative and the Buyer are unable to resolve all Disputed Accelerated Put Items within 20 Business Days after delivery of the Buyer Accelerated Put Response (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed by the Buyer and the Sellers Representative in writing), then the Disputed Accelerated Put Items shall be submitted to the Arbitration Firm, which shall be jointly engaged by Buyer and the Sellers Representative, to promptly review the Accelerated Put Valuation Statement and resolve such Disputed Accelerated Put Items.  Buyer and the Sellers Representative will request that the Arbitration Firm render its determination within 60 days following submission to it of such Disputed Accelerated Put Items.  The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Arbitration Firm is limited to the Disputed Accelerated Put Items.  In resolving any Disputed Accelerated Put Item, the Arbitration Firm (i) will determine the Company’s EBITDA for the corresponding Relevant Measurement Period, the Company Valuation and the Accelerated Put Purchase Price in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed for such item by either the Buyer or the Sellers Representative or less than the smallest value claimed for such item by either the Buyer or the Sellers Representative and (iii) will base its determination solely on written materials submitted by Buyer and the Sellers Representative (and not on any independent review).  Furthermore, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Firm shall have the sole and exclusive authority to resolve the Disputed Accelerated Put Items even if the resolution of legal issues is required to resolve the Disputed Accelerated Put Items.  The Parties further agree that the Arbitration Firm shall also have the sole authority to determine whether any such legal issues exist and, to the extent they do, to retain and consult with legal counsel of Arbitration Firm’s choosing with respect to legal conclusions or judgments arising from the Disputed Accelerated Put Items, provided that the Parties agree that such legal counsel shall not have any material commercial or professional relationship with any of the Parties.  The costs of 

15

any fees and expenses of the Arbitration Firm will be borne in equal parts by the Buyer and the Sellers. All determinations made by the Arbitration Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error on the part of the Arbitration Firm, upon which the Arbitration Firm will deliver to the Buyer and the Sellers Representative a revised Accelerated Put Valuation Statement setting forth the updated calculation of Company’s EBITDA for the corresponding Relevant Measurement Period, the Company Valuation and the Accelerated Put Purchase Price, as modified by the Arbitration Firm’s final determinations, which will be deemed final, non-appealable and binding among the parties hereto for all purposes of this Agreement, and upon which a judgment may be rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, and will not be subject to further appeal or review. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 2(d) is an enforceable arbitration provision under the Uniform Arbitration Act, Title 10, Section 5701 et. seq. of the Delaware Code.

(f)For purposes of complying with the terms of Section 4(e), each Party hereto (i) will cooperate with and make available to the other Parties and its representatives information, records, data and working papers, and (ii) will permit access to its facilities and personnel, upon advance written notice of not less than two Business Days and during normal business hours, in each case as may be reasonably required in connection with the analysis of the Accelerated Put Valuation Statement and the resolution of the Disputed Accelerated Put Items so long as directly relevant to such analysis; provided, however, (i) in no event will any of the Parties be required to produce information that cannot be provided through such Party’s accounting or Tax reporting principles, methods or policies and reporting systems in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) the provision of any information or access pursuant to this Section 4(f) will be subject to execution of confidentiality agreements as requested by the applicable Party, and (iii) nothing in this Section 4(f) will require any party to disclose information that is subject to any applicable privilege, including, without limitation, attorney-client privilege or the privilege of attorney work product.

(g)The consummation of the sale and transfer of the Option Shares pursuant to this Section 4 will occur on a date (the “Accelerated Put Closing Date”) determined by the Buyer, which date will be within 60 days after final determination of the Accelerated Put Purchase Price pursuant to Section 4(d) or Section 4(e), as applicable. No less than ten days prior to the Accelerated Put Closing Date, the Buyer will provide written notice to the Sellers Representative notifying it of the Accelerated Put Closing Date.  On the Accelerated Put Closing Date, (i) the Buyer and the Sellers will execute a public deed substantially in the form of Schedule 2(g) before a Notary Public nominated by the Buyer to formalize the sale and transfer of the Option Shares to the Buyer (or one or more of its delegates), and (ii) the Buyer will pay the corresponding Accelerated Put Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to Section 4(d) or Section 4(e), to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by the Sellers Representative and (iii) the Buyer and the Sellers will perform any further actions mutually agreed or required to formalize the sale and transfer of the Option Shares under applicable Spanish common Law (derecho común español).  For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of the Accelerated Put Purchase Price by the Buyer to the Sellers will be made proportionally to each Seller’s Ownership Percentage.

5.Certain Covenants.

(a)Prepayment.  On or before January 31, 2023, the Buyer will make an advance payment in the aggregate amount of $4,500,000 (the “Prepayment”) to the Sellers on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Seller’s applicable Seller Ownership Percentage by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by the Sellers Representative. The Prepayment will be treated as prepayment on the Call Purchase Price or the Put Purchase Price, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement.  Prior to making the Prepayment, the Buyer shall provide the Sellers Representative with notice of its intention to make the Prepayment (the “Prepayment Notice”).  Promptly following receipt of the Prepayment Notice, the Sellers Representative will provide the Buyer a notice setting for wire instructions for payment of the Prepayment and the amount of such Prepayment to be paid to each of the Sellers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, in the event that neither the Put Right nor the Call Right is exercised in accordance with this Agreement, the Sellers will be obligated to pay their respective portion of the Prepayment back to Buyer within 30 days following the expiration of the Call Option Period, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Buyer.  Additionally, in the event Prepayment has not been repaid in full at the time of (i) a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries or (ii) a sale of the capital stock in the Company to a third-party purchaser, the Sellers hereby irrevocably acknowledge and agree that the Prepayment shall be repaid out of the proceeds otherwise payable or distributable to the Sellers as a result of such transaction.  

(b)Covenants.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer makes no implied or express covenant relating to the operation of the Business after the Closing.  In connection therewith, the parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer will not have any obligation to conduct the Business of the Company in any manner whatsoever.  Each party agrees and acknowledges that the covenants set forth in this Agreement are the only covenants of Buyer and/or Seller in respect of or in connection with the operation of the Business following the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any of the other Ancillary Agreements.

(c)Set-off.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to set-off any amounts due and payable by the Buyer to Sellers under this Agreement, by any amount which Sellers (or any of them) are obligated to pay to Buyer under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement (including any indemnification obligations arising thereunder) or any of the other Ancillary Agreements, provided for the avoidance of doubt that such amounts have become due and payable by the relevant Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any of the other Ancillary Agreements, as applicable; and provided further, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise rights of retention with respect to any amounts (whether or not due and payable) set forth in a Claims Notice delivered by Buyer related to (i) a breach of a Fundamental Representation, (ii) a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.17 or Section 5.18 of the Purchase Agreement or (iii) a claim brought pursuant to Section 9.6 of the Purchase Agreement, in each case pending resolution of the matter set forth in the applicable Claims Notice. Such rights of set-off and retention shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have relating to such amounts owing by Sellers (or any of them) to Buyer.  If the Buyer elects to exercise 

17

 



Execution Copy

 

its right of set-off or retention, it shall notify the Seller Representative in writing, which notice shall identify the amounts owed to the Buyer and the facts or events given rise to such set off or retention.  In the event the Losses giving rise to the set-off or retention rights under this Section 5(c) are the result of a breach by a Seller of an Individual R&W (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or a breach by a Seller of any covenants or obligations of such Seller under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any of the other Ancillary Agreements, the Buyer may only exercise set-off or retention rights against amounts owing to such Seller.

(d)Approval of transfer of Option Shares. The Buyer and each of the Sellers hereby authorize and approve the transfer of the Option Shares pursuant to the Call Right, the Put Right and the Accelerated Put Right in the terms set forth in this Agreement and undertake to authorize and approve again, as necessary in the future, such transfer.

6.Representations and Warranties of the Parties.  Each of the Sellers and the Buyer will grant, as of the Call Closing Date, the Put Closing Date or the Accelerated Put Closing Date, as applicable, the representations and warranties included in the form of transfer deed of the Option Shares attached hereto as Schedule 2(g).  On the Call Closing Date, the Put Closing Date or the Accelerated Put Closing Date, the Sellers shall execute and deliver to the Buyer a release in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer. 

7.Miscellaneous.

(a)Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate on (i) the Call Closing Date, in the event of the sale and transfer of the Option Shares pursuant to Section 2, (ii) the Put Closing Date, in the event of the sale and transfer of the Option Shares pursuant to Section 3, (iii) the Accelerated Put Closing Date, in the event of the sale and transfer of the Option Shares pursuant to Section 4, or (iv) upon the expiration of the Call Option Period, in the event the sale and transfer of the Option Shares pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 do not occur.

(b)No Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated by any party to this Agreement by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement and any attempt to do so will be void, except that the Buyer may assign and delegate any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement (including the Buyer’s right and obligation to purchase the Option Shares hereunder), to any Affiliate as long as such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and provisions contained in this Agreement, but no such assignment or delegation will relieve the Buyer or the Guarantor of its obligations under this Agreement if such assignee does not perform such obligations. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties to this Agreement.

The Sellers shall hold harmless the Buyer from and against any Losses (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) that it may suffer or sustain as the result of any claim by any Person that an action taken by the Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers is not binding on, or enforceable against, the Sellers. The Buyer has the right to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Sellers Representative as to the final determination of the Put Purchase Price, the Call Purchase Price, the Accelerated Put Purchase Price or any other actions required to be taken by the Sellers Representative hereunder, and no Party hereunder will have any cause of action against the Buyer for any action taken by the Buyer in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Seller Representative.  

The appointment of the Sellers Representative is an agency coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and any action taken by the Sellers Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 7(r) is effective and absolutely binding on each Seller notwithstanding any contrary action of or direction from such Seller.  The death or incapacity, or dissolution or other termination of existence, of any Seller does not terminate the authority and agency of the Sellers Representative (or successor thereto).  The provisions of this 7(r) are binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives and successors of each Seller, and any references in this Agreement to a Seller or the Sellers means and includes the successors to the Sellers’ rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise. 

The Sellers Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any act of the Sellers Representative taken in good faith and in the exercise of its reasonable judgment and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, except to the extent any Losses actually incurred by such Seller as a proximate result of the gross negligence or bad faith of the Sellers Representative.  The Sellers Representative shall not be liable for, and may seek indemnification from the Sellers for, any Losses incurred by the Sellers Representative while acting in good faith and in exercise of its reasonable judgment and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, except to the extent that such Losses is the proximate result of gross negligence or bad faith of the Sellers Representative.  The Sellers Representative shall be entitled to recover from the Sellers any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Sellers Representative in connection with the actions taken by the Sellers Representative with respect to this Agreement (including the hiring of legal counsel and the incurring of legal fees and costs).  If Sorin Properties declines to serve, resigns or becomes legally incapacitated, then a successor Sellers’ Representative may be appointed by a majority in interest of the Sellers which shall be determined based on the number of Shares held by the Sellers immediately prior to the Closing.

The provisions of this Section 7(r) shall survive the resignation and replacement of the Sellers’ Representative. 

8.Guaranty. 

(a)To induce Sellers to enter into the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, which will provide substantial benefit to Guarantor, Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as an independent obligation of Guarantor, the prompt and complete payment of each and every of the following (without duplication), as and when due, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, for the benefit of each of the Sellers (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"):  

(i)the Call Purchase Price, if and when the same becomes payable pursuant to this Agreement; 

(ii)the Put Purchase Price, if and when the same becomes payable pursuant to this Agreement; 

(iii)the Accelerated Put Purchase Price, if and when the same becomes payable pursuant to this Agreement;

(iv)the Prepayment under Section 5 of this Agreement; and 

(v)all reasonably incurred out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees, including but not limited to court or arbitration costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, arising in connection with, or as a consequence of the non-payment, nonperformance or non-observance of any obligations and/or liabilities of Buyer under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Guarantor be liable for any special damages or consequential damages.

(b)This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and shall apply regardless of whether recovery of any Guaranteed Obligations may be or become barred by any statute of limitations, discharged, or uncollectible due to any change in law or regulation in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding, or otherwise unenforceable. 

(c)Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be limited, diminished, released or discharged by reason of any change, amendment, modification or supplement to, or waiver or release of any provisions of, this Agreement (and Guarantor hereby waives notice of any such change, amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or release). Guarantor further agrees that all sums payable by Guarantor hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds and shall not be subject to any defense, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever or be modified, released or affected by any other act, omission or circumstance whatsoever which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.  

(d)Guarantor hereby expressly waives notice of acceptance of this guaranty by the Sellers and notice of the Guaranteed Obligations and any action taken with regard thereto. Guarantor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, suit, or the taking of and failing to take other action by the Sellers against the Buyer, Guarantor or others. Guarantor hereby waives any and all surety defenses.

Execution Copy

 

(e)Guarantor hereby waives (i) any right to assert against Buyer as a defense, counterclaim, set-off or crossclaim, any defense (legal or equitable), counterclaim, set-off, crossclaim and/or other claim which Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Buyer or any other party liable to Sellers in any way or manner; and (ii) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Sellers which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, or extinguishes Guarantor’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against Buyer for reimbursement, or any other rights of Guarantor to proceed against Buyer or against any other person, property or security. 

(f)Until all Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full, Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution and indemnity from Buyer and any collateral held therefor, and Guarantor hereby subordinates all rights under any debts owing from Buyer to Guarantor to the prior payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(g)Guarantor agrees that one or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against Guarantor. Whether or not legal action is instituted, Guarantor agrees to reimburse Sellers on demand for all costs, expenses and fees included within clause (iv) of the definition of term Guaranteed Obligations.

(h)The failure of the Sellers to enforce any provisions of this guaranty at any time for any period of time shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such provision or the right thereafter to enforce the same. All remedies of the Sellers shall be cumulative.
