   II. BACKGROUND

    3. Pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 1464, the
       utterance of "any obscene, indecent or profane language by means of
       radio communication" is prohibited.^ In addition, Section 73.3999 of
       the Rules provides that radio and television stations shall not
       broadcast obscene material at any time^ and, consistent with a
       subsequent statute and court case, shall not broadcast indecent
       material between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.^

    4. The Commission received Complaints alleging that Liberman stations
       broadcast material that violates the Indecency Laws. A number of
       Complaints specifically cite material broadcast during certain
       episodes of the now-discontinued Spanish-language program Jose Luis,
       which aired between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. In response, the Bureau issued
       Letters of Inquiry to Licensee, directing it to submit video or audio
       recordings of the complained-of broadcasts and to submit sworn,
       written responses to questions relating to possible violations of the
       Indecency Laws.^ Liberman responded on September 19, 2007,^ and
       September 14, 2011.^ With certain exceptions, Liberman admits that it
       broadcast the material at issue^ and included video recordings of that
       programming with its Responses. Liberman has consistently maintained
       that the broadcasts did not violate the Indecency Laws.^ The Bureau
       disagrees. Liberman also points out that, as of August 8, 2012, it
       ceased airing Jose Luis, and explains that it has otherwise revised
       its programming line-up and no longer produces a program similar to
       Jose Luis.^

   III. TERMS OF AGREEMENT

    5. Adopting Order. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Consent
       Decree shall be subject to final approval by the Bureau by
       incorporation of such provisions by reference in the Adopting Order.

    6. Jurisdiction. Licensee agrees that the Bureau has jurisdiction over it
       and the matters contained in this Consent Decree and that the Bureau
       has the authority to enter into and adopt this Consent Decree.

    7. Effective Date; Violations. The Parties agree that this Consent Decree
       shall become effective on the Effective Date as defined herein. As of
       the Effective Date, the Adopting Order and this Consent Decree shall
       have the same force and effect as any other order of the Bureau. Any
       violation of the Adopting Order or of the terms of this Consent Decree
       shall constitute a separate violation of a Bureau order, entitling the
       Bureau to exercise any rights and remedies attendant to the
       enforcement of a Commission order.

    8. Termination of Investigation. In express reliance on the covenants and
       representations in this Consent Decree and to avoid further
       expenditure of public resources, the Bureau agrees to terminate the
       Investigation  and dismiss the Complaints. In consideration for the
       termination of the Investigation, Licensee agrees to the terms,
       conditions, and procedures contained herein. The Bureau further agrees
       that, in the absence of material new evidence unrelated to programming
       that has already been reviewed, the Bureau will not use the facts
       developed in the Investigation through the Effective Date, or the
       existence of this Consent Decree, to institute, on its own motion or
       in response to any petition to deny or other third-party objection,
       any new proceeding, formal or informal, or take any action against
       Licensee concerning the matters that were the subject of or related to
       the Investigation. The Bureau also agrees that it will not, in the
       absence of material new evidence, use the facts developed in the
       Investigation through the Effective Date, or the existence of this
       Consent Decree, to institute, on its own motion or in response to any
       petition to deny or other third-party objection any proceeding, formal
       or informal, or take any action against Licensee with respect to
       Licensee's basic qualifications, including its character
       qualifications, to be a Commission licensee.

    9. Compliance Officer. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the
       Effective Date, Licensee shall designate a corporate manager with the
       requisite corporate and organizational authority to serve as its
       Compliance Officer, who shall be responsible for developing,
       implementing, and administering a company-wide Compliance Plan and
       ensuring that Licensee complies with the terms and conditions of the
       Compliance Plan and this Consent Decree. In addition to possessing
       general knowledge of the Act and the Rules necessary to discharge
       his/her duties under this Consent Decree, the Compliance Officer shall
       have specific knowledge of the Indecency Laws before assuming his/her
       duties.

   10. Compliance Plan. For purposes of settling the matters set forth
       herein, Licensee agrees to create and implement within sixty (60)
       calendar days of the Effective Date a company-wide Compliance Plan
       designed to prevent the broadcast of material in violation of the
       Indecency Laws, to the extent possible based on written Commission
       decisions regarding the Indecency Laws that are legally in effect
       (i.e., not stayed, modified, or overturned by a reviewing court of
       competent jurisdiction at the time of the broadcast), and to ensure
       compliance with the Act, the Rules, the Commission's orders, and the
       terms and conditions of this Consent Decree. The Compliance Plan shall
       include, at a minimum, the following components:

    a. Operating Procedures. Within sixty (60) calendar days after the
       Effective Date, Licensee shall establish Operating Procedures that all
       Covered Employees must follow to help ensure Licensee's compliance
       with the Indecency Laws. Licensee's Operating Procedures shall include
       internal procedures and policies specifically designed to ensure that
       the Compliance Officer, or a management-level employee of Licensee
       directly supervised by the Compliance Officer, conducts a
       pre-broadcast review of any content that such employee reasonably
       believes, based on written Commission decisions that are legally in
       effect at the time of the broadcast, raises a substantial question
       under the Indecency Laws, including script review of programs produced
       by Licensee.  Licensee also shall develop a Compliance Checklist that
       describes the steps that a Covered Employee must follow pursuant to
       the Operating Procedures to help ensure Licensee's compliance with the
       Indecency Laws.

    b. Compliance Manual. Within sixty (60) calendar days of the Effective
       Date, Licensee shall prepare a compliance manual regarding the
       Indecency Laws and shall distribute the manual to all Covered
       Employees. The Compliance Manual shall explain the Indecency Laws,
       based on written Commission decisions regarding the Indecency Laws
       that are legally in effect, that Covered Employees shall follow to
       help ensure Licensee's compliance with these laws. Licensee shall
       periodically review and revise the Compliance Manual as necessary to
       reflect material changes. Licensee shall distribute any revisions to
       the Compliance Manual promptly to all Covered Employees.

    c. Training. Within ninety (90) calendar days of the Effective Date,
       Licensee shall train any Covered Employee on what constitutes program
       content that complies with the Indecency Laws based on written
       Commission decisions regarding the Indecency Laws that are legally in
       effect. Licensee also shall train any new Covered Employee, within
       thirty (30) days of that employee's becoming a Covered Employee, on
       what constitutes content that complies with the Indecency Laws based
       on written Commission decisions regarding the Indecency Laws that are
       legally in effect. In addition, Licensee's Covered Employees shall
       receive refresher training, on an annual basis, regarding existing
       guidelines and, where applicable, pertinent changes to the Indecency
       Laws based on written Commission decisions regarding the Indecency
       Laws that are legally in effect. As part of such training, Covered
       Employees shall be advised of Licensee's obligation to report any
       noncompliance with the Indecency Laws, based on written Commission
       decisions regarding the Indecency Laws that are legally in effect at
       the time of a broadcast, under the terms this Consent Decree and shall
       be instructed on how to disclose noncompliance to the Compliance
       Officer.

   the Indecency Laws based on written Commission decisions regarding the
   Indecency Laws that are legally in effect and with the terms and
   conditions of this Consent Decree within thirty (30) calendar days after
   discovery of such noncompliance. Such reports shall include a detailed
   explanation of: (i) each instance of noncompliance; (ii) the steps that
   Licensee has taken or will take to remedy such noncompliance; (iii) the
   schedule on which such remedial actions will be taken; and (iv) the steps

       months after the Effective Date. Each Compliance Report shall include
       a compliance certificate from the Compliance Officer, as an agent of
       Licensee, stating that the Compliance Officer has personal knowledge
       that Licensee: (i) has established operating procedures intended to

       comply with Section 1.16 of the Rules^ and be subscribed to as true
       under penalty of perjury in substantially the form set forth therein.
       If the Compliance Officer cannot provide the requisite certification,
       the Compliance Officer, as an agent of and on behalf of Licensee,
       shall provide the Commission with a detailed explanation of: (i) any
       instances of non-compliance with this Consent Decree and the Indecency
       Laws based on written Commission decisions regarding the Indecency
       Laws that are legally in effect; and (ii) the steps that Licensee has

       thirty-six (36) months after the Effective Date.

   13. Indecency Complaints; Subsequent Investigations. Subject to Paragraph
       8, nothing in this Consent Decree shall prevent the Commission or its
       delegated authority from adjudicating complaints filed pursuant to the
       Indecency Laws against Licensee or its affiliates that are filed after
       the Effective Date and relate to programming that has not already been
       reviewed, or for alleged violations of other provisions of the Act or
       the Commission's rules or for any other type of alleged misconduct,
       regardless of when such alleged misconduct took place. The
       Commission's adjudication of any such complaints will be based solely
       on the record developed in that proceeding. Except as expressly
       provided in this Consent Decree, this Consent Decree shall not prevent
       the Commission from investigating new evidence of noncompliance by
       Licensee with the Act or the Rules.

       amount of the Voluntary Contribution shall accrue interest, computed
       using the rate of the U.S. Prime Rate in effect on the date of the
       Event of Default plus 4.75%, from the date of the Event of Default
       until payment in full. Upon an Event of Default, the then unpaid
       amount of the Voluntary Contribution, together with interest, as
       aforesaid, any penalties permitted and/or required by the law,
       including but not limited to 31 U.S.C. S 3717 and administrative
       charge(s), plus the costs of collection, litigation, and attorneys'
       fees, is accelerated and shall become immediately due and payable,
       without notice, presentment, demand, protest, or notice of protest of
       any kind, all of which are waived by Licensee.

   17. Waivers. Licensee waives any and all rights it may have to seek
       administrative or judicial reconsideration, review, appeal, or stay,
       or to otherwise challenge or contest the validity of this Consent
       Decree and the Adopting Order, provided the Bureau issues an Adopting
       Order as defined herein. Licensee shall retain the right to challenge
       Commission interpretation of the Consent Decree or any terms contained
       herein. If either Party (or the United States on behalf of the
       Commission) brings a judicial action to enforce the terms of the
       Adopting Order, neither Licensee nor the Commission shall contest the
       validity of the Consent Decree or the Adopting Order, and Licensee
       shall waive any statutory right to a trial de novo. Licensee hereby
       agrees to waive any claims it may otherwise have under the Equal
       Access to Justice Act, 5 U.S.C. S 504 and 47 C.F.R. S 1.1501 et seq.,
       relating to the matters addressed in this Consent Decree.

   18. Severability. The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of the
       Adopting Order or the Consent Decree shall be invalid or
       unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
       invalidate or render unenforceable the entire Adopting Order or
       Consent Decree, but rather the entire Adopting Order or Consent Decree
       shall be construed as if not containing the particular invalid or
       unenforceable provision or provisions, and the rights and obligations
       of the Parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly. In the
       event that this Consent Decree in its entirety is rendered invalid by
       any court of competent jurisdiction, it shall become null and void and
       may not be used in any manner in any legal proceeding.

   19. Subsequent Rule or Order. The Parties agree that if any provision of
       the Consent Decree conflicts with any subsequent rule or order adopted
       by the Commission (except an order specifically intended to revise the
       terms of this Consent Decree to which Licensee does not expressly
       consent) that provision will be superseded by such Commission rule or
       order.

   20. Successors and Assigns. Licensee agrees that the provisions of this
       Consent Decree shall be binding on its successors, assigns, and
       transferees.

   21. Admission. Notwithstanding any of Licensee's prior submissions in this
       proceeding, Licensee admits, solely for the purpose of this Consent
       Decree and for Commission civil enforcement purposes and in express
       reliance on the provisions of Paragraph 8 herein, that its actions
       with respect to the broadcast of certain portions of certain  episodes
       of Jose Luis, as referenced in Paragraph 4 of this Consent Decree,
       inadvertently violated the Commission's interpretation of its
       indecency regulations and requirements in force at the time of such
       actions, assuming construction of those regulations and requirements
       as Licensee has been informed they are construed by the FCC as of the
       date hereof.

   22. Final Settlement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that this Consent
       Decree shall constitute a final settlement between the Parties with
       respect to the Investigation.

   23. Modifications. This Consent Decree cannot be modified without the
       advance written consent of both Parties.

   24. Paragraph Headings. The headings of the paragraphs in this Consent
       Decree are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to
       affect the meaning or interpretation of this Consent Decree.

   25. Authorized Representative. Each Party represents and warrants to the
       other that it has full power and authority to enter into this Consent
       Decree. The individual signing this Consent Decree on behalf of
       Licensee represents and warrants that he is authorized by Licensee to
       execute this Consent Decree and to bind Licensee to the obligations
       set forth herein. The FCC signatory represents that she is signing
       this Consent Decree in her official capacity and that she is
       authorized to execute this Consent Decree.

   26. Counterparts. This Consent Decree may be signed in any number of
       counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which, when executed
       and delivered, shall be an original, and all of which counterparts
       together shall constitute one and the same fully executed instrument.
