9.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles or rules of conflicts of law to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction).

(b) Each of the Parties irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding commenced to enforce any right under this Agreement shall be commenced only in the courts of the State of New York, County of New York, or of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of those courts and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the right to commence any such action in any other court or venue and any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such courts, and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and further agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts shall be conclusive and binding on such Party.

(c) Televisa hereby irrevocably designates CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), with an office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, for and on its behalf service of process in such jurisdiction in any legal action or proceedings solely with respect to the enforcement of any right under this Agreement, and such service will be deemed complete upon delivery thereof to the Process Agent, provided that in the case of any such service upon the Process Agent, the Party effecting such service will also deliver a copy thereof to Televisa by facsimile and internationally recognized courier service in accordance with Section 9.3. Televisa will take all such action as may be necessary to continue said appointment in full force and effect or to appoint another agent so that Televisa will at all times have an agent for service of process for the above purposes in New York, New York. In the event of the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and business of the process agent (whether the Process Agent or otherwise) to any other corporation by consolidation, merger, sale of assets or otherwise, such other corporation will be substituted hereunder for the process agent with the same effect as if named herein in place of the Process Agent or such other agent. Nothing herein will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law, provided that no service shall be deemed complete unless a copy of any such service is also delivered to Televisa by facsimile and internationally recognized courier service in accordance with Section 9.3. Each Party expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is intended to be irrevocable under the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America.

(d) Each Party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for the other Party hereto for any breach of this Agreement by it, and that in addition to all other remedies the other Party may have, they shall be entitled to specific performance and to injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Each Party agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

9.5 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

9.6 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by any Party 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 Televisa shall have the right to assign all or any part of its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Controlled Affiliates, and provided further that DIRECTV shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Controlled Affiliates. In the event of any assignment by Televisa to a Controlled Affiliate, Televisa shall remain responsible for the performance in full by such Controlled Affiliate. In the event of any assignment by DIRECTV to a Controlled Affiliate thereof, DIRECTV shall remain responsible for the performance in full by such Controlled Affiliate.

9.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article 8 with respect to indemnification of DIRECTV Party Indemnitees and the Televisa Party Indemnitees, as applicable, nothing in this 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 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 Agreement, nor the failure by any of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this 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.

9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Transaction Documents and the documents governing the transactions contemplated by the DTH Agreement by and among Televisa, News, Innova, S. de ▇.▇. de C.V., DIRECTV and DIRECTV Latin

America LLC, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this 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 Agreement or affecting the validity, illegality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this 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 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 Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this 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 Agreement.

9.13 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

9.14 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts (each of which may be transmitted by facsimile), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
