During the Term and the Restrictive Period, Executive shall not, in any capacity, whether for his own account or on behalf of any other person or organization, directly or indirectly, with or without compensation interfere with the operation of the Company’s business, including without limitation by: (i) soliciting, diverting, inducing or encouraging any officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, former customer, representatives or any other person or concern, dealing with or in any way, directly or indirectly, associated with the Company or the Company Entities to terminate, his, her or its relationship with the Company or the Company Entities, (ii) hiring any such officer, director, employee, agent, consultant, former customer, representative or any other person or concern so solicited, diverted, induced or encouraged, (iii) soliciting, diverting, inducing or encouraging any officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants or representatives of the Company or the Company Entities, to become officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, customers, representatives or any other person or concern, of another business, enterprise or entity, (iv) soliciting, diverting or appropriating any customers, clients, vendors or distributors of the Company or the  Company Entities, or (v) influencing or attempting to influence any of the customers, clients, vendors, distributors or business partners of the Company or the Company Entities, to transfer her, his or its business or patronage from the Company or the Company Entities to any Competitive Business.

shall promptly deliver to the Company any and all Confidential Information, and all copies thereof, including but not limited to, documents, data, papers and records of any nature and in any medium (including, but not limited to, electronic media) in his possession or subject to his control that (i) belong to the Company or the Company Entities or (ii) contain or reflect any information concerning the Company or the Company Entities.  Executive hereby acknowledges that the sale or unauthorized use, duplication or disclosure of any Confidential Information by any means whatsoever and any time before, during or after employment with the Company shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and unfair competition; and Executive agrees not to engage in unfair competition either during the time employed by the Company or at any time thereafter in perpetuity.

(d)Non-Disparagement.  In consideration of Company’s obligations hereunder, during and at all times after the Term, Executive shall not directly or indirectly (i) engage in any conduct or make any statement, whether in commercial or non-commercial speech, disparaging or criticizing in any way the Company or the Company Entities, executive officers, directors or employees of any of the foregoing entities, or any products or services offered by any of these entities, or (ii) engage in any other conduct or make any other statement, in each case, which could be reasonably expected to (x) impair the goodwill or reputation of the foregoing entities or individuals or (y) the reputation of any of the foregoing entity’s products or services or the marketing of any of the foregoing entity’s products or services, except to the extent required by law and then only after consultation with the Company to the extent possible.

(e)Executive Fidelity. Executive agrees that during the Term, Executive will not, directly or through third-party intermediaries, initiate or invite contact with, or solicit or entertain offers or proposals of employment from a Competitive Business wherever located. Executive expressly acknowledges that (i) he will immediately notify the Company of any such communications and (ii) a breach of this covenant of fidelity shall constitute grounds for termination for Cause under Section 8.

(f)Remedies for Breach; Injunctive Relief.  The Company and Executive agree that the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant herein shall not affect the validity of any other covenant set forth herein. Executive acknowledges that by virtue of his position with the Company, Executive will be given access to the Company’s and the Company Entities’ trade secrets and Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the Company will suffer irreparable harm as a result of a breach of such restrictive covenant by Executive for which an adequate monetary remedy does not exist and a remedy at law may prove to be inadequate.  Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened breach by Executive of any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies permitted by law, be entitled to obtain remedies in equity, including, but not limited to, specific performance, injunctive relief, a temporary restraining order, and/or a preliminary and/or permanent injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent or otherwise restrain a breach of this Section 6 without the necessity of proving damages, posting a bond or other security, and to recover any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred in enforcing this Agreement against Executive, and Executive hereby consents to the entry of such relief against him and agrees not to contest such entry.  Such relief shall be in addition to and not in substitution of any other remedies available to the Company.  The existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of said covenants.  Executive shall not defend on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at law.  In addition to and not in lieu of any other remedy that the Company may have under this Section 6 or otherwise, in the event of any breach of any provision of this Section 6 during the period during which Executive is entitled to receive payments and Benefits pursuant to Section 8, such period shall terminate as of the date of such breach and Executive shall not thereafter be entitled to receive any salary or other payments or Benefits under this Agreement.

(g)Modification and Survival.  The parties agree and acknowledge that the duration, scope and geographic area of the covenants described in this Section 6 are fair, reasonable and necessary in order to protect the Confidential Information, goodwill and other legitimate interests of the Company and that adequate consideration has been received by Executive for such obligations.  Executive further acknowledges that after termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, he will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the covenants described in this Section 6 and Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood without violating such covenants is a material condition to his employment with the Company.  If, however, for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the restrictions in this Section 6 are not reasonable, that consideration is inadequate or that Executive has been prevented unlawfully from earning a livelihood, such restrictions shall be interpreted, modified or rewritten to include the maximum duration, scope and geographic area identified in this Section 6 as will render such restrictions valid and enforceable. It is the intent of the parties that this section be enforced to the greatest extent allowable in law or equity.  The terms of this Section 6, shall survive the termination or expiration of Executive’s employment Agreement, but only to the extent of the time limitations as set forth herein.

7.Proprietary Rights.   All data, copy, written and recorded materials, as well as all recordings, documents, notes, projections, forecasts and presentations and other financial information, created by Executive at any time during the Term or any extension thereof, including without limitation the Executive’s work product, are works for hire and shall be the exclusive property of the Company, and the Company Entities throughout the Universe, in perpetuity (the “Property Rights”).  The Company and the Company Entities own or shall own all right, title and interest throughout the Universe, in any of Executive’s and the Company’s and the Company Entities’ work product and all copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights in and related thereto throughout the Universe, in perpetuity (“Intellectual Property”).  Executive must return all such documents and tangible property to the Company on termination of this Agreement for any reason or at such earlier time as the Company may request in writing.

For purposes of this Agreement the term “Cause” includes, but is not limited to:  (i) refusal or unwillingness to perform duties; (ii) habitual neglect of duties which Executive is required to perform; (iii) willful misconduct or gross negligence; (iv) theft, fraud or other illegal conduct; (v) sexual or other unlawful harassment; (vi) making derogatory statements, disparaging remarks or personal attacks against the Company or the Company Entities, including but not limited to, its or their officers and directors, management, employees, advertisers or any of its policies or procedures; (vii) arrest for or conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude; (viii) insubordination; (ix) any willful act that is likely to or does in fact have the effect of injuring the reputation, business or a business relationship of the Company, Company Entity, or any officer, director or board of directors of any of them; (x) failure to perform any reasonable duties assigned to Executive by the President and Chief Executive Officer or his designees; (xi) failure to follow any the Company operating or personnel policies and practices  (Executive acknowledges having read and understood the employee handbook); (xii) knowlingly failing to comply with any rule, regulation, guideline or policy of the FCC or other governmental agency with jurisdiction over the Company; (xiii) use of illegal drugs or alcohol at any time on any property owned or leased by the Company or any Company Entity; or (xiv) failure to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

A Change of Control shall be deemed to have occured if at any time Raul Alarcon, together and members of his family, no longer control more than 50% of the voting control of the Company.  Such payments shall continue to be made over the same time frame as if no termination had occurred.

(f)Termination for Reasons Other Than Without Cause.
