 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, representations and warranties made herein and of the
mutual benefits to be derived herefrom, the Parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Brazil Business Combination. 
  
 1.1 Acquisition of TV Capital by Sky Brasil. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Combination Agreement, at the Closing, DirecTV and DTVLA shall cause GLA and Galaxy Investments, LLC to contribute to Sky
Brasil all outstanding TV Capital Quotas and other equity interests (if any) in TV Capital and DTV Brasil held by them, except that one TV Capital Quota shall be transferred to each of the applicable Globo Affiliate and to GLA. In exchange for such
contribution and for any Subscriber Contribution effected pursuant to Section 1.2, Sky Brasil shall issue to GLA such number of Sky Brasil Quotas as represent 29.5% of the issued Quotas of Sky Brasil. Following such contribution and the issue
of such Quotas to GLA, GLA, News, Globo and Liberty shall indirectly each hold approximately 29.5%, 35.4%, 28.0% and 7.1%, respectively, of the issued Quotas of Sky Brasil, as calculated after giving effect to the capitalization of the Quotaholder
Funding issued prior to August 2003 but before giving 
  

 i 








 effect to any Quotaholder Funding capitalized or converted on the Value Determination Date, and Sky Brasil shall hold the
entire equity interest of the DTV Brasil Group, except that GLA and the applicable Globo Affiliate shall also each hold one TV Capital Quota and Sky Brasil shall also hold one DTV Brasil Quota. 
  
 1.2 Closing Adjustment. Within 120 days after the Signing Date, or
such other period as the Parties may agree, Sky Brasil shall cause its auditors to prepare and deliver to News, Globo, Liberty and DirecTV a report (the “Subscriber Report”) setting out the number of Paying Subscribers of DTV Brasil
as of the Signing Date. In the event the Subscriber Report indicates that the number of Paying Subscribers of DTV Brasil as of the Signing Date was less than 300,000, DirecTV shall pay or cause to be paid to Sky Brasil at the Closing, as a capital
contribution, an amount equal to the Real Equivalent (converted at the average of the buy and sell exchange rate listed as PTAX 800, option 5, as disclosed by the Central Bank of Brazil on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment),
of $650.00 multiplied by the difference between 300,000 and the actual number of Paying Subscribers of DTV Brasil as of the Signing Date, as shown on the Subscriber Report (the “Subscriber Contribution”). No capital or convertible
securities shall be issued to GLA for the Subscriber Contribution, except as set forth in Section 1.1, and, following such Subscriber Contribution, but before giving effect to any Quotaholder Funding capitalized or converted on the Value
Determination Date, Globo shall continue to hold indirectly 28.0% of the issued Quotas of Sky Brasil.

refrain from taking such action (including, in the case of DirecTV, causing DTVLA or GLA as its Affiliates to take or refrain from taking such action). Each of the DTV Parties shall be responsible for the failure of any of its Affiliates (including,
in the case of DirecTV, the failure of DTVLA or GLA) to take or refrain from taking any action as required by this Combination Agreement. Where any provision of this Combination Agreement indicates or requires that an Affiliate of a Sky Party shall
take any specified action (or refrain from taking any specified action) prior to the Closing, then, regardless of whether this Combination Agreement specifically provides that such Sky Party do so, such Sky Party shall cause such Affiliate or
Affiliates, as the case may be, to take or refrain from taking such action. Such Sky Party shall be responsible for the failure of any of its Affiliates to take or refrain from taking any action as required by this Combination Agreement.

above, any vote or approval by Globo pursuant to the antepenultimate sentence of Section 13.12 of the applicable Quotaholders Agreement shall not constitute approval for purposes of this paragraph. This paragraph will also be applicable to News and
its Affiliates during the period in which Globo has a veto right under the applicable Quotaholders Agreement with respect to the hiring and firing of the President of Sky Brasil in accordance with Section 1.3(a)(iii) of the Participation Agreement,
but only to the extent that Globo exercises its rights thereunder to veto any hiring or firing proposed by News with respect to the President of Sky Brasil. Each Sky Party to which this Section 5.8(b) applies shall use commercially reasonable

breach by it, and that in addition to all other remedies the other Parties hereto may have, they shall be entitled to specific performance and to injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for or to prevent any such non-performance or breach

the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. 
  
 9.6 Assignment. 
  
 (a)
This Combination Agreement shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by any Party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any purported assignment or other transfer without such consent shall be void and
unenforceable, provided that Globo shall have the right to assign all or any part of its rights and obligations hereunder to TV Globo or any other member of the Globo Group, and provided further that each of News and DirecTV
shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to its Controlled Affiliates. In the event of any assignment by Globo to a Controlled Affiliate, Globo shall remain responsible for the performance in full by such Controlled
Affiliate, and in the event any of such assignment to TV Globo to a Controlled Affiliate of TV Globo, TV Globo shall be responsible for the performance in full by such Controlled Affiliate. In the event of any assignment by News or DirecTV to a
Controlled Affiliate thereof, News or DirecTV, as applicable, shall remain responsible for the performance in full by such Controlled Affiliate. News shall also have the right to assign its rights and obligations under this Combination Agreement
upon a transfer of the entire aggregate interest in Sky Brasil held by the News Group to DirecTV (or any Affiliate thereof) provided that, upon such assignment, News shall continue to be bound by its obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding
any permitted assignment hereunder, in no case will the assigning Party be released as a result of any such assignment from any of its obligations under Section 5.4 or in the case of any obligation already applicable to such assigning Party
and its Controlled Affiliates. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Combination Agreement, the other Related Agreements or the Participation Agreement, Globo shall be permitted to pledge all or part of its rights under the Combination Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to any financial
institution and to effect a Globo Monetization. Any such pledge shall not constitute a transfer of equity for any purpose under this Combination Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements, except to the extent any foreclosure by such pledge
results in the sale of any Globo equity. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding
Section 9.6(a), promptly upon a reorganization of News resulting in News Parent becoming the ultimate parent of News and its Controlled Affiliates, the rights and obligations of News under this Combination Agreement shall be deemed
immediately transferred to and assumed by News Parent, and each reference to News hereunder and thereunder shall be deemed a reference to News Parent, it being understood that News shall be a Controlled Affiliate of News Parent. Promptly following
such reorganization, News Parent shall execute and deliver to the other Parties hereto a joinder to the Transaction Agreements or other instrument confirming that it is party to and bound by the Transaction Agreements to the same extent that News
was bound immediately prior to such reorganization, whereupon News shall be released therefrom. 
  

 xlii 








 9.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 5.10(a) and 6.2(c)
and Article 8 with respect to indemnification of Sky Party Indemnitees, DTV Brasil Indemnitees, the Sky Brasil Group and the DTV Brasil Group, as applicable, nothing in this Combination Agreement shall confer any rights upon any person or
entity other than the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. 
  
 9.8 Amendment; Waivers, Etc. No amendment, modification or discharge of this Combination Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the Party
against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge or waiver is sought. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the Party
granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Neither the waiver by any of the Parties of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Combination Agreement, nor the failure by any of the Parties, on one or more
occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Combination Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions,
rights or privileges hereunder. 
  
 9.9 Remedies. The
rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and none is exclusive of any other, or of any rights or remedies that any party may otherwise have at law or in equity. The rights and remedies of any Party based upon, arising out of or otherwise
in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or failure to fulfill any condition shall in no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts upon which any claim
of any such inaccuracy or breach is based may also be the subject matter of any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties
would be irreparably damaged in the event that the provisions of this Combination Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in addition to any other
remedy to which any such other Party may be entitled at law or in equity, such other Party shall also be entitled to injunctive or other interim or equitable relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Combination Agreement and to seek to
enforce specifically this Combination Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof. 
  
 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Combination Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements (including the Ancillary Closing Agreements (when executed and delivered), the Existing Confidentiality Agreements and any
other operational agreements between any Party hereto and Sky Brasil constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior 
  

 xliii 








 agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Master Agreement shall only continue to the extent set forth in Section 2.4 of the Participation Agreement. 
  
 9.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Combination Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Combination Agreement or affecting the validity,
illegality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Combination Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Combination Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only
so broad as is enforceable. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Combination Agreement so as to effect the original
intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 
  
 9.12 Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Combination Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Combination Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of
proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Combination Agreement. 
  
 9.13 Headings. The headings contained in this Combination Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Combination Agreement. 
  
 9.14
Counterparts. This Combination Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

written.
