(e)On the date that the Facility Agent executes an Additional Facility Accession Agreement:
(i)each Lender party to that Additional Facility Accession Agreement, each other Finance Party, UPC Broadband and the Obligors shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had each Lender been a Lender on the Effective Date, with the rights and/or obligations assumed by it as a result of that accession and with the Commitment specified by it as its Additional Facility Commitment; and
(ii)each Additional Facility Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.
(f)The execution by UPC Broadband of an Additional Facility Accession Agreement constitutes confirmation by each Guarantor that its obligations under Clause 19 (Guarantee) shall continue unaffected except that those obligations shall extend to the Total Commitments as increased by the addition of the relevant Lender’s Commitment and shall be owed to each Finance Party including the relevant Lender.
(g)Subject to paragraph (h) below, the aggregate principal amount of any proposed Additional Facility shall not, at the election of UPC Broadband acting in its sole discretion (x) on the date that the Additional Facility becomes effective (giving pro forma effect to the intended use of proceeds of such Additional Facility and assuming that the entire amount of that Additional Facility is drawn on such date, and provided that an election that this sub-paragraph (x) shall apply may not be made in relation to that Additional Facility if an election that sub-paragraph (y) shall apply has previously been made in relation to that Additional Facility) or (y) on the date of each Utilisation (other than a Rollover Loan or a Documentary Credit which is being renewed pursuant to Clause 6.2 (Renewal of Documentary Credits)) of that Additional Facility (giving pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Utilisation but not assuming that the entire amount of that Additional Facility is drawn) exceed the aggregate of the sum of:
(i)an unlimited amount provided that on a pro forma basis the ratio of Senior Net Debt to Annualised EBITDA is equal to or less than 4.50:1, or in the case of an Additional Facility proposed to be used for Acquisition Debt, the ratio of Senior Net Debt to Annualised EBITDA would not be greater than it was immediately prior to the relevant acquisition or such other transaction;
(ii)if the proceeds of the Additional Facility are being used to refinance existing indebtedness that ranks pari passu or senior in right of security to the Facilities, an amount equal to the accrued interest, premiums and other amounts owing or paid relating to such existing indebtedness together with related fees and expenses;
67

(iii)any amount of Financial Indebtedness available to be incurred pursuant to sub-paragraph (xxxiv) of the definition of Permitted Financial Indebtedness; and
(iv)the aggregate amount of any voluntary prepayments of (A) Term Facility Advances that are secured on a pari passu basis with any other Facilities or (B) Revolving Facility Advances and any Advances under an Additional Revolving Facility (to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent cancellation of the relevant Revolving Facility Commitments or Additional Facility Commitments, as applicable), in each case, to the extent the relevant prepayment or cancellation is not funded or effected with any long-term Financial Indebtedness (including Financial Indebtedness in the form of a bridge or other interim credit facility intended to be refinanced with long-term Financial Indebtedness),
provided, that (A) any Additional Facility may be incurred under one or more of the above sub-paragraphs as selected by UPC Broadband, in its sole discretion, (B) UPC Broadband may elect to incur Additional Facilities under sub-paragraph (i) prior to using amounts available under sub-paragraphs (iii) and (iv), (C) amounts incurred pursuant to sub-paragraph (iii) substantially concurrently with amounts incurred pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) will not count as Financial Indebtedness for the purposes of calculating Senior Net Debt and (D) UPC Broadband shall have the ability to classify such amounts of Financial Indebtedness on the date of their incurrence and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Financial Indebtedness in one of the sub-paragraphs above and will be permitted on the date of such incurrence to divide and classify an item of such Financial Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Financial Indebtedness described in such paragraphs, and, from time to time, may reclassify all or a portion of such Financial Indebtedness, in any manner,
(the “Additional Facilities Cap”).
(h)There shall be no limit on the aggregate principal amount of any proposed Additional Facility (a “Refinancing Additional Facility”) to the extent established in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, in whole or in part, existing Utilisations or Commitments (the “Refinanced Debt”) provided that if the obligations under such Refinancing Additional Facility do not rank equal to or junior to such existing Utilisations and Commitments the principal amount of such Refinancing Additional Facility shall not exceed an amount equal to the Additional Facilities Cap (or its equivalent in other currencies). A Refinancing Additional Facility may only be established if the following conditions are met:
(i)it provides for Additional Facility Commitments which are in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than:
(A)in the case of any Additional Revolving Facility, €1,000,000 (where the Refinancing Additional Facility is denominated in Euros) or US$1,000,000 (where the Refinancing Additional Facility is denominated in US Dollars); and
(B)in the case of any Term Facility, €15,000,000 (where the Refinancing Additional Facility is denominated in Euros) or US$1,000,000 (where the Refinancing Additional Facility is denominated in US Dollars),
in each case provided that such amount may be less than €1,000,000 US$1,000,000, €15,000,000 and US$15,000,000, respectively, if such amount is equal to the entire outstanding principal amount of the Refinanced Debt;
(ii)in the case of Refinancing Additional Facilities which are Term Facilities:
(A)it does not have a greater principal amount than the principal amount of the Refinanced Debt plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and fees, expenses, OID and upfront fees associated with the refinancing of the Refinanced Debt;
(B)it ranks pari passu or junior in right of payment with any Additional Facility Commitments which are senior in right of payment and shall rank pari passu or junior in right of Security with the Additional Facility Commitments which are secured on a first ranking basis in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement reasonably satisfactory to UPC Broadband and the Facility Agent; and
68

(C)to the extent applicable, it is subject to the Intercreditor Agreement; and
(iii)in the case of Refinancing Additional Facilities which are Additional Revolving Facilities:
(A)it ranks pari passu or junior in right of payment with the Additional Facility Commitments that are senior in right of payment and shall rank pari passu in right of Security with the Additional Facility Commitments which are secured on a first ranking basis;
(B)it does not have a greater principal amount of Additional Facility Commitments than the principal amount of the Refinanced Debt and accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and fees, expenses, OID and upfront fees associated with the refinancing of the Refinanced Debt; and
(C)it shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Finance Document or any document entered into for the benefit of any Finance Party, and for the avoidance of doubt, an Affiliate of UPC Broadband that issues any notes, bonds or other securities for the purpose of on-lending the proceeds of such issuance under a Facility and to a Borrower under this Agreement:
(i)shall be entitled to exercise its voting rights in respect of any request for a consent, waiver or amendment or other vote under any Finance Document in relation to any Commitment (including for the avoidance of doubt, under any sub-participation agreement or similar agreement in respect of that Commitment) held by it in its sole discretion and in accordance with the terms of any indenture or other document governing such notes, bonds or other securities;
(ii)shall be entitled to attend any meeting or conference call to which all Lenders are invited to attend or participate; and
(iii)shall not be required to give any undertaking that is contrary to the rights set out in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, and no breach of any Finance Document will occur as a result of a failure by such an Affiliate to give such an undertaking.
(j)With the prior written consent of UPC Broadband, the Facility Agent is authorised and instructed to enter into such documentation as is reasonably required to amend this Agreement and any other Finance Document (in accordance with terms of this Clause 2.3 (Additional Facilities)) to reflect the terms of each Additional Facility without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Additional Facility Lender.
(k)Each Party (other than each proposed Additional Facility Lender, UPC Broadband and the proposed Borrower of the Additional Facility) irrevocably authorises and instructs the Facility Agent to execute on its behalf any Additional Facility Accession Agreement which has been duly completed and signed on behalf of each proposed Additional Facility Lender, UPC Broadband and each proposed Borrower of the Additional Facility, and each Obligor agrees to be bound by such accession.
(l)Each proposed Additional Facility Lender, by executing an Additional Facility Accession Agreement, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt) that the Facility Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which that Additional Facility Accession Agreement becomes effective.
2.4 Overall facility limits
(a)The aggregate amount of all outstanding Utilisations under an Additional Facility shall not at any time exceed the relevant Total Additional Facility Commitments for that Additional Facility.
(b)The aggregate amount of the participations of a Lender in Utilisations under an Additional Facility shall not at any time exceed that Lender’s Additional Facility Commitment for that Additional Facility at that time.
(c)The aggregate amount of all outstanding Utilisations under the Revolving Facility shall not at any time exceed the Total Revolving Facility Commitments.
69

(d)The aggregate amount of the participations of a Lender in Utilisations under the Revolving Facility shall not at any time exceed that Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment at that time.
2.5 Number of Requests and Advances
(a)No more than one Request may be made under each Additional Facility unless the relevant Additional Facility Accession Agreement specifies otherwise, in which case the maximum number of requests for Advances under that Additional Facility will be as set out in that Additional Facility Accession Agreement.
(b)Unless the Facility Agent agrees otherwise, no more than five Advances may be outstanding at any one time under each Additional Facility (other than Additional Revolving Facilities), no more than ten Advances may be outstanding at any one time under each Additional Revolving Facility and no more than 10 Advances may be outstanding at any time under the Revolving Facility.
2.6 Nature of a Finance Party’s rights and obligations
(a)The obligations of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several. Failure of a Finance Party to carry out those obligations does not relieve any other Party of its obligations under the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.
(b)The rights of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are divided rights. A Finance Party may, except as otherwise stated in the Finance Documents, separately enforce those rights.
(c)Each of the Obligors and each of the Finance Parties agrees that the Security Agent shall be the joint and several creditor (hoofdelijk crediteur) of each and every obligation of any Obligor towards each of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document, and that accordingly the Security Agent will have its own independent claim as creditor and not as agent against each Obligor to demand performance by the relevant Obligor of those obligations. However, any discharge of any such obligation to either of the Security Agent or the relevant Finance Party shall, to the same extent, discharge the corresponding obligation owing to the other.
(d)Without limiting or affecting the Security Agent’s rights against any Obligor (whether under this paragraph or under any other provision of the Finance Documents), the Security Agent agrees with each other Finance Party (on a several and divided basis) that, subject as set out in the next sentence, it will not exercise its rights as a joint and several creditor with a Finance Party except with the prior written consent of the relevant Finance Party. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Security Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement as contemplated by the Finance Documents (or to do any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing).
2.7 UPC Broadband as Obligors’ agent
(a)Each Obligor (other than UPC Broadband):
(i)irrevocably authorises and instructs UPC Broadband to give and receive as agent on its behalf all notices (including Requests) and sign all documents in connection with the Finance Documents on its behalf (including but not limited to amendments and variations and execution of any new Finance Documents) and take such other action as may be necessary or desirable under or in connection with the Finance Documents; and
(ii)confirms that it will be bound by any action taken by UPC Broadband under or in connection with the Finance Documents.
(b)If (notwithstanding the fact that the guarantees granted under this Agreement are and the Security is, intended to guarantee and secure, respectively, all obligations arising under the Finance Documents), any guarantee or Security does not automatically extend from time to time to any (however fundamental and of whatsoever nature and whether or not more onerous) amendment, variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any Facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents, each Obligor (other than UPC Broadband) expressly confirms that UPC Broadband as Obligors’ agent is authorised to confirm such guarantee and/or Security on behalf of such Obligor.
70

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, each Obligor (other than UPC Broadband) hereby releases UPC Broadband from the restrictions set out in Article 108 of the Polish Civil Code.
2.8 Actions of UPC Broadband as Obligors’ agent
The respective liabilities of each of the Obligors under the Finance Documents shall not be in any way affected by:
(a)any irregularity (or purported irregularity) in any act done by or any failure (or purported failure) by UPC Broadband;
(b)UPC Broadband acting (or purporting to act) in any respect outside any authority conferred upon it by any Obligor; or
(c)the failure (or purported failure) by or inability (or purported inability) of UPC Broadband to inform any Obligor of receipt by it of any notification under this Agreement or any other Finance Document.

(b)Each L/C Lender shall (according to its L/C Proportion) promptly on demand indemnify an L/C Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by such L/C Bank (otherwise than by reason of such L/C Bank’s gross negligence, wilful misconduct or wilful breach of the terms of this Agreement) in acting as an L/C Bank under any Documentary Credit (except to the extent that such L/C Bank has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).
(c)If any L/C Lender is not permitted (by its constitutional documents or any applicable law) to comply with paragraph (b) above, then that L/C Lender will not be obliged to comply with paragraph (b) above and shall instead be deemed to have taken, on the date the relevant Documentary Credit is issued (or if later, on the date that L/C Lender’s participation in the Documentary Credit is transferred or assigned to that L/C Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), an undivided interest and participation in the Documentary Credit in an amount equal to its L/C Proportion of that Documentary Credit.

76

(i)any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Documentary Credit or any other person;

(vii)any insolvency or similar proceedings.
6.8 Cash Collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender
(a)If, at any time, a Lender under the Revolving Facility or an Additional Revolving Facility is a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender, the relevant L/C Bank may, by notice to that Lender, request that Lender to pay and that Lender shall pay, on or prior to the date falling three Business Days after the request by such L/C Bank, an amount equal to that Lender’s L/C Proportion of the outstanding amount of a Documentary Credit issued by such L/C Bank and in the currency of that Documentary Credit to an interest-bearing account held in the name of that Lender with such L/C Bank.
(b)The Non-Acceptable L/C Lender to whom a request has been made in accordance with paragraph (a) above shall enter into a security document or other form of collateral arrangement over the account, in form and substance satisfactory to the relevant L/C Bank, as collateral for any amounts due and payable under the Finance Documents by that Lender to the L/C Bank in respect of that Documentary Credit.
(c)Until no amount is or may be outstanding under that Documentary Credit, withdrawals from the account may only be made to pay to the relevant L/C Bank amounts due and payable to the relevant L/C Bank by the Non-Acceptable L/C Lender under the Finance Documents in respect of that Documentary Credit.
(d)Each Lender under the Revolving Facility or an Additional Revolving Facility shall notify the Facility Agent and UPC Broadband:
(i)on the 2020 Amendment Effective Date or on any later date on which it becomes such a Lender in accordance with Clause 2.2 (Increase), Clause 2.3 (Additional Facilities) or Clause 30 (Changes to the Parties) whether it is a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; and
(ii)as soon as practicable upon becoming aware of the same, that it has become a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender,
and an indication in a Novation Certificate, a Transfer Agreement, an Additional Facility Accession Agreement or an Increase Confirmation or, in the case of an Initial Revolving Facility Lender, next to their name in Part 2 of Schedule 1 (Original Parties), to that effect will constitute a notice under paragraph (d)(i) to the Facility Agent (and in the case of the Initial Revolving Facility Lenders, UPC Broadband) and, upon delivery in accordance with Clause 30.11 (Copy of Novation Certificate Transfer Agreement or Increase Confirmation to UPC Broadband) or otherwise, to UPC Broadband.
(e)Any notice received by the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph (d) above shall constitute notice to each L/C Bank of that Lender’s status and the Facility Agent shall, upon receiving each such notice, promptly notify each L/C Bank of that Lender’s status as specified in that notice.
77

(f)If a Lender who has provided cash collateral in accordance with this Clause 6.8 (Cash Collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender):
(i)ceases to be a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; and
(ii)no amount is due and payable by that Lender in respect of a Documentary Credit,
that Lender may, at any time it is not a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender, by notice to the relevant L/C Bank request that an amount equal to the amount of the cash provided by it as collateral in respect of that Documentary Credit (together with any accrued interest) standing to the credit of the relevant account held with that L/C Bank be returned to it and that L/C Bank shall pay that amount to the Lender within three Business Days after the request from the Lender (and shall cooperate with the Lender in order to procure that the relevant security or collateral arrangement is released and discharged).
6.9 Cash Cover by Borrower
(a)If a Lender which is a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender fails to provide cash collateral (or notifies the relevant L/C Bank that it will not provide cash collateral) in accordance with Clause 6.8 (Cash Collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender) and that L/C Bank notifies UPC Broadband (with a copy to the Facility Agent) that it requires the relevant Borrower of the relevant Documentary Credit or proposed Documentary Credit to provide cash cover to an account with that L/C Bank in an amount equal to that Lender’s L/C Proportion of the outstanding amount of that Documentary Credit and in the currency of that Documentary Credit then that Borrower shall do so within five Business Days after the notice is given.
(b)Notwithstanding Clause 1.2 (Construction), the relevant Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw amounts up to the level of that cash cover from the account if:
(i)the relevant L/C Bank is satisfied that the relevant Lender is no longer a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender;
(ii)the relevant Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Documentary Credit are transferred to a New Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or
(iii)an Increase Lender has agreed to undertake the obligations in respect of the relevant Lender’s L/C Proportion of the Documentary Credit.
(c)To the extent that a Borrower has complied with its obligations to provide cash cover in accordance with this Clause 6.9 (Cash Cover by Borrower), the relevant Lender’s L/C Proportion in respect of that Documentary Credit will remain (but that Lender’s obligations in relation to that Documentary Credit may be satisfied in accordance with Clause 1.2 (Construction)). However, the relevant Borrower’s obligation to pay any Documentary Credit fee in relation to the relevant Documentary Credit to the Facility Agent (for the account of that Lender) in accordance with Clause 25 (Fees) will be reduced proportionately as from the date on which it complies with that obligation to provide cash cover (and for so long as the relevant amount of cash cover continues to stand as collateral).
(d)The relevant L/C Bank shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the extent to which the relevant Borrower provides cash cover pursuant to this Clause 6.9 (Cash Cover by Borrower) and of any change in the amount of cash cover so provided.

(a)UPC Broadband, with the prior written consent of the relevant Lender, may designate any Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment or an Additional Facility Commitment in relation to an Additional Revolving Facility that permits Documentary Credits as an L/C Bank or as a replacement therefor, but not with respect to Documentary Credits already issued by any other L/C Bank.
78

(b)Any Lender so designated shall become an L/C Bank under this Agreement by delivering to the Facility Agent an executed L/C Bank Accession Certificate.
(c)An L/C Bank may resign as issuer of further Documentary Credits at any time if (i) UPC Broadband and the Majority Lenders in relation to the Facility in respect of which such Documentary Credits are issued consent to such resignation or so require; (ii) there is, in the reasonable opinion of each L/C Bank, an actual or potential conflict of interest in it continuing to act as L/C Bank; or (iii) its Revolving Facility Commitment or its Additional Facility Commitment in relation to the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) is reduced to zero, provided that an L/C Bank shall not resign until a replacement L/C Bank is appointed.

(v)the Ancillary Facilities Effective Date and expiry date for the Ancillary Facility (such expiry date not to extend beyond the Final Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Facility or the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable));

(e)Any material variation from the terms of the Ancillary Facility or any proposed increase or reduction or extension of the Ancillary Facility Commitment shall be effected on and subject to the provisions of this
79

Clause 7 (Ancillary Facilities) mutatis mutandis as if such Ancillary Facility were newly requested (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that such newly requested Ancillary Facility shall only take effect from a date not less than three Business Days after the date the Facility Agent has received notice of the modification or variation or extension), provided that the Euro Amount of the Ancillary Facility Outstandings under each Ancillary Facility provided by an Ancillary Facility Lender shall at no time exceed the Available Revolving Facility Commitment or the Available Additional Facility Commitment for the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) of that Ancillary Facility Lender.
(f)Each relevant Borrower may (subject to compliance with the applicable terms of the relevant Ancillary Facility) at any time by giving written notice to the Facility Agent and the relevant Ancillary Facility Lender cancel any Ancillary Facility Commitment pursuant to and in accordance with Clause 10.2 (Voluntary cancellation), provided that on the date of such cancellation, that part of such Ancillary Facility Commitment as shall have been so cancelled shall be converted back into the Revolving Facility Commitment or the Additional Facility Commitment for the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) of the relevant Lender unless those Revolving Facility Commitments or Additional Facility Commitments (as applicable) are also cancelled on such date.
(g)The Ancillary Facility Commitment of any Ancillary Facility Lender shall terminate and be cancelled on the date agreed therefor between the relevant Ancillary Facility Lender and the relevant Borrower, provided such date shall be no later than the Final Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Facility or the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) (the “Ancillary Facility Termination Date”). Any Ancillary Facility Outstandings on the applicable Ancillary Facility Termination Date shall be repaid in full by the relevant Borrower on such date.
(h)The Revolving Facility Commitment or Additional Facility Commitment in relation to an Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) of each Lender at any time shall be reduced by the amount of any relevant Ancillary Facility Commitment of such Lender at such time but such reduced Commitment shall, subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, automatically be increased by the amount of any portion of its Ancillary Facility Commitment which ceases to be made available to the relevant Borrowers for any reason (other than as a result of utilisation of it) in accordance with the terms of such Ancillary Facility or is cancelled pursuant to paragraph (f) or (g) above.
7.2 Operation of Ancillary Facilities
(a)Subject to paragraph (b) below, the terms governing the operation of any Ancillary Facility (including the rate of interest (including default interest), fees, commission and other remuneration in respect of such Ancillary Facility) shall be those determined by agreement between the Ancillary Facility Lender and the relevant Borrower, provided that such terms shall be based upon the normal commercial terms and market rates of the relevant Ancillary Facility Lender.
(b)In the case of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of any Ancillary Facility, the applicable Ancillary Facility Documents and this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the applicable Ancillary Facility Document shall prevail unless the contrary intention is expressly provided for in this Agreement.
(c)Each relevant Borrower and Ancillary Facility Lender will promptly upon request by the Facility Agent, supply the Facility Agent with such information relating to the operation of each Ancillary Facility (including without limitation details of the Ancillary Facility Outstandings and the Euro Amount thereof) as the Facility Agent may from time to time reasonably request (and each relevant Borrower consents to such documents and information being provided to the Facility Agent and the other Lenders).
7.3 Ancillary Facility Default
(a)If a default occurs under any Ancillary Facility, no Ancillary Facility Lender may demand repayment of any monies or demand cash cover for any Ancillary Facility Outstandings, or take any analogous action in respect of any Ancillary Facility, until the Acceleration Date.
(b)If an Acceleration Date occurs, the claims of each Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment or an Additional Facility Commitment in relation to an Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) and each Ancillary Facility Lender in respect of amounts outstanding to them under the Revolving Facility or that Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) and the related Ancillary Facilities respectively shall be adjusted in accordance with this Clause 7.3 (Ancillary Facility Default) by making all necessary transfers of such portions of such claims such that following such transfers the Revolving Facility Outstandings or the
80

outstandings under the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) and the related Ancillary Facility Outstandings (together with the rights to receive interest, fees and charges in relation thereto) of (i) each Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment or an Additional Facility Commitment in relation to that Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) and (ii) each Ancillary Facility Lender, in each case as at the Acceleration Date shall be an amount corresponding pro rata to the proportion that the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment or Additional Facility Commitment in relation to that Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) and/or (as the case may be) related Ancillary Facility Commitment bears to the sum of all of the Revolving Facility Commitments or Additional Facility Commitments in relation to that Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) and the related Ancillary Facility Commitments, each as at the Acceleration Date.
(c)No later than the third Business Day following the Acceleration Date each of the Ancillary Facility Lenders shall notify the Facility Agent in writing of the Euro Amount of its Ancillary Facility Outstandings as at the close of business on the Acceleration Date, such amount to take account of any clearing of debits which were entered into the clearing system of such Ancillary Facility Lenders prior to the Acceleration Date and any amounts credited to the relevant accounts prior to close of business on the Acceleration Date.
(d)On receipt of the information referred to in paragraph (c) above, the Facility Agent will promptly determine what adjustment payments (if any) are necessary as between the Lenders participating in the Revolving Facility or the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) and each related Ancillary Facility Lender in order to ensure that, following such adjustment payments, the requirements of paragraph (b) above are complied with.
(e)The Facility Agent will notify all the Lenders as soon as practicable of its determinations pursuant to paragraph (d) above, giving details of the adjustment payments required to be made. Such adjustment payments shall be payable by the relevant Lenders and shall be made to the Facility Agent within 5 Business Days following receipt of such notification from the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall distribute the adjustment payments received, among the Ancillary Facility Lenders and the Lenders participating in the Revolving Facility or the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) in order to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (b) above.
(f)If at any time following the Acceleration Date, the amount of the Revolving Facility Outstandings or amounts outstanding under the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) of any Lender or related Ancillary Facility Outstandings of any Ancillary Facility Lender used in the Facility Agent’s calculation of the adjustments required under paragraph (d) above should vary for any reason (other than as a result of currency exchange fluctuation or other reason which affects all relevant Lenders equally), further adjustment payments shall be made on the same basis (mutatis mutandis) provided for in this Clause 7.3 (Ancillary Facility Default).
(g)In respect of any amount paid by any Lender (a “Paying Lender”) pursuant to either of paragraph (e) or (f) above, as between a relevant Borrower and the Paying Lender, the amount so paid shall be immediately due and payable by such relevant Borrower to the Paying Lender and the payment obligations of such relevant Borrower to the Lender(s) which received such payment shall be treated as correspondingly reduced by the amount of such payment.
(h)Each Lender shall promptly supply to the Facility Agent such information as the Facility Agent may from time to time request for the purpose of giving effect to this Clause 7.3 (Ancillary Facility Default).
(i)If an Ancillary Facility Lender has the benefit of any Security Interest securing any of its Ancillary Facilities, the realisations from such security when enforced will be treated as an amount recovered by such Ancillary Facility Lender in its capacity as a Lender which is subject to the sharing arrangements in Clause 34 (Pro Rata Sharing) to the intent that such realisation should benefit all Lenders pro rata.
7.4 Repayment of Ancillary Facilities
(a)No Ancillary Facility Lender may demand repayment or prepayment of any amounts under its Ancillary Facility unless:
(i)the relevant Revolving Facility Commitment or Additional Facility Commitment in relation to the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) has been cancelled in full, or the Facility Agent has declared the Revolving Facility Outstandings or all amounts outstanding under the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) immediately due and payable; or
81

(ii)the Ancillary Facility Outstandings under that Ancillary Facility can be repaid by an Advance under the Revolving Facility or any Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) (and not less than 7 Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period as agreed to by UPC Broadband) is given to the relevant Borrower before payment becomes due).
(b)For the purposes of repaying Ancillary Facility Outstandings (so long as paragraph (a)(i) above does not apply) an Advance under the Revolving Facility or an Additional Revolving Facility may be borrowed irrespective of whether a Default is continuing or any other applicable condition precedent is not satisfied.
(c)The share of the Ancillary Facility Lender in an Advance under the Revolving Facility or an Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) being used to refinance that Ancillary Facility Lender’s Ancillary Facility will be that amount which will result (so far as possible) in:
(i)the proportion which its share of the Revolving Facility Outstandings or all amounts outstanding under the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) bears to the Revolving Facility Outstandings or the aggregate amount of the amounts outstanding under the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable),
being equal to:
(ii)the proportion which its Available Commitment with respect to the Revolving Facility or the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) bears to the aggregate of the Available Commitments with respect to the Revolving Facility or the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable),
in each case, assuming the repayment of the relevant Ancillary Facility has taken place. The share of the other Lenders in any such Advance under the Revolving Facility or the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) will be adjusted accordingly.
7.5 Continuation of Ancillary Facilities
(a)A Borrower and an Ancillary Facility Lender may, as between themselves only, agree to continue to provide the same banking facilities following (i) the Final Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Facility or the relevant Additional Revolving Facility or (ii) the Revolving Facility Commitments or Additional Facility Commitments in relation to the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) being cancelled under this Agreement.
(b)If any arrangement contemplated in paragraph (a) above is to occur, the relevant Borrower and the Ancillary Facility Lender shall each confirm that to be the case in writing to the Facility Agent. Upon such Final Maturity Date or, as the case may be, date of cancellation, any such facility shall continue as between the said persons on a bilateral basis and not as part of, or under, the Finance Documents. Save for any rights and obligations against any Finance Party under the Finance Documents prior to such Final Maturity Date or, as the case may be, date of cancellation, no such rights or obligations in respect of such Ancillary Facility shall, as between the Finance Parties, continue and the Security shall not support any such facility in respect of any matters that arise after such Final Maturity Date or, as the case may be, date of cancellation.
7.6 Affiliates of Lenders as Ancillary Facility Lenders
(a)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, an Affiliate of a Lender may become an Ancillary Facility Lender. In such case, the Lender and its Affiliate shall be treated as a single Lender whose (i) Revolving Facility Commitment is the amount set out opposite the relevant Lender’s name in Part 2 of Schedule 1 (Initial Revolving Facility Lenders) and/or the amount of any Revolving Facility Commitment transferred to or assumed by that Lender under this Agreement, to the extent (in each case) not cancelled, reduced or transferred by it under this Agreement or (ii) Additional Facility Commitment in relation to the relevant Additional Revolving Facility is the amount set out opposite that Lender’s name in the relevant Additional Facility Accession Agreement and/or the amount of any relevant Additional Facility Commitment transferred to or assumed by that Lender under this Agreement, to the extent (in each case) not cancelled, reduced or transferred by it under this Agreement (as applicable). For the purposes of calculating the Lender’s Available Revolving Facility Commitment or Available Additional Facility Commitment in relation to the relevant Additional Facility (as applicable), the Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced to the extent of the aggregate of the Ancillary Facility Commitments of its Affiliates.
82

(b)UPC Broadband shall specify any relevant Affiliate of a Lender in any Conversion Notice delivered by UPC Broadband to the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 7.1 (Utilisation of Ancillary Facilities).
(c)An Affiliate of a Lender which becomes an Ancillary Facility Lender shall accede to this Agreement as an Ancillary Facility Lender, and the Intercreditor Agreement as a Senior Lender (as defined therein).
(d)If a Lender assigns all of its rights and benefits or transfers all of its rights and obligations to a New Lender (in accordance with Clause 30 (Changes to the Parties)), its Affiliate shall cease to have any obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Facility Document.
(e)Where this Agreement or any other Finance Document imposes an obligation on an Ancillary Facility Lender and the relevant Ancillary Facility Lender is an Affiliate of a Lender which is not a party to that document, the relevant Lender shall ensure that the obligation is performed by its Affiliate.
7.7 Affiliates of Borrowers
(a)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, an Affiliate of a Borrower that is a member of the Borrower Group may with the approval of the relevant Ancillary Facility Lender become a Borrower with respect to an Ancillary Facility.
(b)UPC Broadband shall specify any relevant Affiliate of the Borrower in any Conversion Notice delivered by UPC Broadband to the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 7.1 (Utilisation of Ancillary Facilities).
(c)If any Borrower ceases to be a Borrower under this Agreement in accordance with Clause 30 (Changes to the Parties), its Affiliates, provided that any such Affiliate is not an Affiliate of any other Obligor, shall cease to have any rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Facility Document.
(d)Where this Agreement or any other Finance Document imposes an obligation on a Borrower under an Ancillary Facility and the relevant Borrower is an Affiliate of a Borrower which is not a party to that document, the relevant Borrower shall ensure that the obligation is performed by its Affiliate.
(e)Any reference in this Agreement or any other Finance Document to a Borrower being under no obligations (whether actual or contingent) as a Borrower under such Finance Document shall be construed to include a reference to any Affiliate of a Borrower being under no obligations under any Finance Document or Ancillary Facility Document.
8.OPTIONAL CURRENCIES
8.1 Selection of Currency
Each Borrower under the Revolving Facility or an Additional Revolving Facility shall select the currency of the Advance made to it (which shall be US Dollars, Euro, an Additional Currency or an Optional Currency) in the Request relating to the relevant Advance.
8.2 Unavailability of Optional Currency
(a)If before the Specified Time on the Quotation Date for the relevant Advance:
(i)a Lender notifies the Facility Agent that the relevant Optional Currency is not readily available to it in the amount required; or
(ii)a Lender notifies the Facility Agent that compliance with its obligation to participate in that Advance in the proposed Optional Currency would contravene a law or regulation applicable to it,
the Facility Agent will give notice to the relevant Borrower to that effect by the Specified Time. In this event, any Lender that gives notice pursuant to this Clause 8.2 will be required to participate in the relevant Advance in Euros (in an amount equal to that Lender’s Proportion of the Euro Amount of the relevant Advance or, in respect of a Rollover Loan, an amount equal to that Lender’s Proportion of the Euro Amount of any amount that the Lenders are actually required to advance in accordance with Clause 9.2 (Rollover)), and its participation will be treated as a separate Advance denominated in Euros during that Interest Period.
83

(b)Any part of an Advance treated as a separate Advance under this Clause 8 (Optional Currencies) will not be taken into account for the purposes of any limit on the number of Advances or currencies outstanding at any one time.

(a)if the amount of the Maturing Advance exceeds the aggregate amount of the Rollover Advance:
(i)the relevant Borrower will only be required to pay an amount in cash in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and
(ii)each Lender’s participation (if any) in the Rollover Advance shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the relevant Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation (if any) in the Maturing Advance and that Lender will not be required to make its participation in the Rollover Advance available in cash.
(b)if the amount of the Maturing Advance is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the Rollover Advance:

(a)Each payment received by the Facility Agent under this Agreement for another Party shall, except as set out in paragraph (d) below and subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, be made available by the Facility Agent to that Party by payment (on the date of value of receipt and in the currency and funds of receipt) to its account with such bank in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency (or, in the case of Euros, in the principal financial centre of such of the Participating Member States or London) as it may notify to the Facility Agent for this purpose by not less than five Business Days’ prior notice.
(b)The Facility Agent may apply any amount received by it for an Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from an Obligor under this Agreement in the same currency on such date or in or towards the purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.
(c)Where a sum is to be paid under this Agreement to the Facility Agent for the account of another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that Party until it has established that it has actually received that sum. The Facility Agent may, however, assume that the sum has been paid to it in accordance with this Agreement and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to that Party a corresponding amount. If the sum has not been made available but the Facility Agent has paid a corresponding amount to another Party, that Party shall forthwith on demand refund the corresponding amount to the Facility Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt, calculated at a rate reasonably determined by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.
96

(d)Subject to paragraph (c) above, in the case of a Mid-Interest Period Transfer, the Facility Agent shall:
(i)make any interest payable in respect of the principal amount that is assigned, transferred or novated under a Mid-Interest Period Transfer, that accrues on and prior to the date on which the Mid-Interest Period Transfer becomes effective, available to the Existing Lender; and
(ii)make any interest payable in respect of the principal amount that is assigned, transferred or novated as a Mid-Interest Period Transfer, that accrues after the date on which the Mid-Interest Period Transfer becomes effective, available to the New Lender,
such payments shall be paid (on the date of value of receipt and in the currency and funds of receipt) to the Existing Lenders’ account or the New Lenders’ account (as applicable) with such bank and in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency (or in the case of Euros, in the principal financial centre of one of the Participating Member States or London) as it may notify to the Facility Agent for this purpose by not less than five Business Days’ prior notice.
14.4 Currency
(a)A repayment or prepayment of an Advance is payable in the currency in which the Advance is denominated.
(b)All interest is payable in the currency in which the relevant amount in respect of which it is payable is denominated.
(c)Amounts payable in respect of costs, expenses, Taxes and the like are payable in the currency in which they are incurred.
(d)Any other amount payable under this Agreement is, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, payable in Euros.
14.5 Reductions
Any repayment of any Advance denominated in an Optional Currency shall reduce the amount of such Advance by the amount of such Optional Currency repaid and shall reduce the Euro Amount of such Advance proportionately.
14.6 Set-off and counterclaim
All payments made by an Obligor under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.
14.7 Non-Business Days
(a)If a payment under this Agreement is due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for that payment shall instead be the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).
(b)During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal at the rate payable on the original due date.
14.8 Partial payments
(a)Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Facility Agent receives a payment insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under this Agreement, the Facility Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of the Obligors under this Agreement in the following order:
(i)first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid costs, fees and expenses of the Facility Agent, the Security Agent and each L/C Bank under this Agreement;
(ii)secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued fees (other than any commitment fees payable under Clause 25.1 (Additional Facility Commitment Fee) or Clause 25.2 (Revolving Facility Commitment Fee), or Documentary Credit fees payable under Clause 25.5 (Documentary Credit Fee)) due but unpaid under Clause 25 (Fees);
97

(iii)thirdly, in or towards payment to the Lenders pro rata of any accrued interest (including, where a Mid-Interest Period Transfer has taken place towards payment to the Existing Lenders and the New Lenders pro rata), Documentary Credit fees and commitment fees due but unpaid under this Agreement;
(iv)fourthly, in or towards payment to the Lenders pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement; and
(v)fifthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.
(b)Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Facility Agent shall, if so directed by the affected Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (a)(v) above. The Facility Agent shall notify UPC Broadband of any such variation.
(c)Paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall override any appropriation made by any Obligor.
14.9 Impaired Agent
(a)If, at any time, the Facility Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Facility Agent may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient or pay that amount to an interest-bearing account (the “Trust Account”) held with an Acceptable Bank within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition of “Acceptable Bank” and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Finance Party beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents. In each case such payments must be made within five Business Days of the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.
(b)All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the Trust Account shall be for the benefit of the beneficiaries of that Trust Account pro rata to their respective entitlements.
(c)A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 14.9 (Impaired Agent) shall be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the Trust Account.

15.TAX GROSS-UP AND INDEMNITIES
15.1 Definitions
(a)In this Clause 15:
“Protected Party” means a Finance Party which is or will be, for or on account of Tax, subject to any liability or required to make any payment in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document.
“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax.
“Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document other than:
(i)a FATCA Deduction; or
(ii)a deduction or withholding for or on account of any Bank Levy (or otherwise attributable to, or arising as a consequence of, a Bank Levy).
98

“Tax Payment” means an increased payment made by an Obligor to a Finance Party under Clause 15.2 (Tax gross-up) or a payment under Clause 15.4 (Tax indemnity).
“Treaty Lender” means a Lender which is (on the date a payment falls due), entitled to that payment under a double taxation agreement in force on the date (subject to the completion of any necessary procedural formalities) without a Tax Deduction.
(b)In this Clause 15, a reference to “determines” or “determined” means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination acting reasonably and in good faith.
15.2 Tax gross-up
(a)Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.
(b)UPC Broadband or a Lender shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify UPC Broadband and that Obligor.
(c)Subject to Clause 15.6 (U.S. Taxes), if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
(d)If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.
(e)Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.
(f)A Treaty Lender and each Obligor which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate and use its reasonable efforts to complete any procedural formalities and provide any information, in each case on a timely basis, necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction (or with a reduced rate of such Tax Deduction).
(g)Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction. No Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction (other than a payment or compensation in respect of any payments due to a Lender which is a special purpose vehicle that has issued notes and advanced all of the proceeds of such notes to a member of the Borrower Group pursuant to an Advance under an Additional Facility (except where the relevant FATCA Deduction arises from any non-compliance with any law, regulation or other obligation in respect of FATCA by a holder of such notes)).
15.3 Lender Tax Status
(a)Solely in the case of a Tax Deduction imposed by a jurisdiction other than the United States in the case of a US Borrower, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause 15 (Tax Gross-up and Indemnities):
(i)each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made by a Borrower under any Finance Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Facility Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Facility Agent (and promptly after the occurrence of a change in the Lender’s circumstance requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered), such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; and
99

(ii)each Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Facility Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by an applicable requirement of law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Facility Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Facility Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. In the event that any Lender fails to comply with the foregoing requirement, any Borrower shall be permitted to withhold and retain an amount in respect of the applicable withholding tax (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any withholding tax imposed by the United States in the case of a US Borrower) estimated in good faith by the Borrowers to be required to be withheld in respect of interest payable to such Lender. Neither UPC Broadband nor any Obligor is required to make a Tax Payment to a Lender under this Agreement to the extent such Taxes are attributable to a failure by a Lender to provide the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to the first sentence of this Clause 15.3(a). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 15.3(a) shall be understood to affect the rights of Lenders to a gross-up in respect of a Tax Deduction levied in the United States in the case of a US Borrower, but only to the extent permitted under Clause 15.2 (Tax gross-up).
(b)Each Finance Party shall confirm whether it is entitled to receive payments under the Finance Documents free from withholding under FATCA and shall provide any documentation, forms and other information relating to its status under FATCA reasonably requested by the Facility Agent or a Borrower sufficient for the Facility Agent and the Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Finance Party has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.
15.4 Tax indemnity
(a)Subject to paragraph (b) below, the Obligors shall (within ten Business Days of written demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party reasonably determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party. The Protected Party shall within five Business Days’ of request by that Borrower provide to that Borrower reasonable written details explaining the loss, liability or cost and the calculation of the amount claimed by the Protected Party.
(b)Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:
(i)with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:
(A)under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or
(B)under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,
if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income or net profits received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party;
(ii)to the extent a loss, liability or cost relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party (other than in respect of any payments due to a Lender which is a special purpose vehicle that has issued notes and advanced all of the proceeds of such notes to a member of the Borrower Group pursuant to an Advance under an Additional Facility (except where such FATCA Deduction arises from any non-compliance with any law, regulation or other obligation in respect of FATCA by a holder of such notes)); or
(iii)to the extent a loss, liability or cost has been compensated for by a payment under Clause 15.8 (Stamp Taxes) or would have been compensated for by such a payment, but for the application of any exception in such Clause.
(c)A Protected Party making or intending to make a claim pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, together with supporting evidence (including details of the nature of the Tax due or paid by that Protected Party), following which the Facility Agent shall promptly provide such information to UPC Broadband.
100

(d)A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 15.4 (Tax Indemnity), notify the Facility Agent.
15.5 Tax Credit
(a)If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:
(i)a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and
(ii)that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,
the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been made by the Obligor.
(b)No provision of this Agreement shall:
(i)interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its tax or any other affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit or oblige any Finance Party to claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment in respect of any payment of Tax in priority to any other credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it, except that the Finance Party’s sole reason (acting in good faith) for not claiming or for deferring such credit, relief, remission or repayment shall not be its obligation to make a payment under this Clause 15.5 (Tax Credit); or
(ii)oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its Tax or other affairs or any computations in respect thereof.
15.6 U.S. Taxes
A US Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Clause 15.2 (Tax gross-up) in respect of United States Taxes (including, without limitation, federal, state, local or other income Taxes), branch profits or franchise Taxes with respect to a sum payable by it pursuant to this Agreement to a Lender if on the date such Lender becomes a Party or has designated a new Facility Office either:
(a)in the case of a Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Lender has not provided the Borrower with two accurate and complete original signed copies of (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (relating to such Lender and claiming a complete exemption from withholding under an income tax treaty) (or successor form) or (ii) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) certifying, in each case, to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to all amounts payable pursuant to the Finance Documents;
(b)after the date such Lender becomes a Party, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification of such Lender made pursuant to Clause 15.6(a) above obsolete or inaccurate, such Lender has not delivered to UPC Broadband two new accurate and complete original signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or Form W-8BEN (or successor form) (with respect to the benefit of any income tax treaty), as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to amounts payable pursuant to the Finance Documents; or
(c)such Lender is subject to such Tax by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Tax and the Lender or its Facility Office other than a connection arising solely from this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.
15.7 Value added tax
(a)All consideration expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT and no Party shall exercise any potential option for waiving a VAT exemption. Subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party in connection with a Finance Document, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in
101

addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT, unless the VAT charge is caused by the Finance Party’s option to waive a VAT exemption, and in either case concurrently against the issue of an appropriate invoice.
(b)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) in connection with a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration), (i) if the Supplier is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party must also pay to the Supplier and, (ii) if the Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT the Subject Party must pay to the Recipient, (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. Where paragraph (i) applies, the Recipient must promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of the VAT chargeable on that supply. Where paragraph (ii) applies, the Subject Party must only pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the amount of such VAT to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to a credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
(c)Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party for the full amount of such costs and expenses including such costs that represent VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.
(d)Any reference in this Clause 15.7 (Value added tax) to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group including but not limited to any fiscal unities for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the relevant legislation of any jurisdiction having implemented Council Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax).
(e)If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must give the Finance Party details of its VAT registration number and any other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Finance Party’s reporting requirements for the supply and at such time that the Finance Party may reasonably request it.
(f)Where a Borrower is required to make a payment under paragraph (b) above, such amount shall not become due until the relevant Borrower has received a formal invoice detailing the amount to be paid.
15.8 Stamp Taxes
UPC Broadband shall pay and, within 10 Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document except for:
(a)any such Taxes payable in connection with any Novation Certificate or Transfer Agreement or other document relating to the assignment or transfer by any Lender of any of its rights and/or obligations under any Finance Document; or
(b)any registration duties and any Tax payable due to a registration, submission or filing by a Finance Party of any Finance Document where such registration, submission or filing is or was not required to maintain or preserve the rights of that Finance Party under the applicable Finance Documents.
16.MARKET DISRUPTION AND ALTERNATIVE INTEREST RATES
16.1 Interest calculation if no Primary Term Rate
(a)Interpolated Primary Term Rate: If no Primary Term Rate is available for the Interest Period of a Term Rate Advance, the applicable Primary Term Rate shall be the Interpolated Primary Term Rate for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance.
102

(b)Shortened Interest Period: If paragraph (a) above applies but it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Primary Term Rate, the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance shall (if it is longer than the applicable Fallback Interest Period) be shortened to the applicable Fallback Interest Period and the applicable Primary Term Rate shall be determined pursuant to the definition of “Primary Term Rate”.
(c)Shortened Interest Period and Historic Primary Term Rate: If paragraph (b) above applies but no Primary Term Rate is available for the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Primary Term Rate, the applicable Primary Term Rate shall be the Historic Primary Term Rate for that Term Rate Advance.
(d)Shortened Interest Period and Interpolated Historic Primary Term Rate: If paragraph (c) above applies but no Historic Primary Term Rate is available for the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance, the applicable Primary Term Rate shall be the Interpolated Historic Primary Term Rate for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance.
(e)Alternative Term Rate: In relation to a Term Rate Advance that is not a Euro Term Rate Advance, if paragraph (d) above applies but it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Historic Primary Term Rate, the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance shall, if it has been shortened pursuant to paragraph (b) above, revert to its previous length and, the applicable Term Reference Rate shall be the aggregate of:
(i)the applicable Alternative Term Rate as of the Quotation Time for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance; and
(ii)any applicable Alternative Term Rate Adjustment.
(f)Interpolated Alternative Term Rate: In relation to a Term Rate Advance that is not a Euro Term Rate Advance, if paragraph (e) above applies but no Alternative Term Rate is available for the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance, the applicable Term Reference Rate shall be the aggregate of:
(i)the Interpolated Alternative Term Rate for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance; and
(ii)any applicable Alternative Term Rate Adjustment.
(g)Alternative Fallback Rate: In relation to a Term Rate Advance that is not a Euro Term Rate Advance, if there is no Alternative Term Rate specified in the applicable Reference Rate Terms or paragraph (f) above applies and UPC Broadband and the Facility Agent (in its sole discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, without any requirement to consult with or seek any consent or instruction from the Lenders or any other Finance Party), each acting reasonably, have determined that:
(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Interpolated Historic Primary Term Rate and/or Interpolated Alternative Term Rate (as applicable) for the Interest Period of a Term Rate Advance because neither the Primary Term Rate nor the Alternative Term Rate (if any) is available or published on a current basis for a relevant tenor and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)neither the Primary Term Rate nor the Alternative Term Rate (if any) will be made available or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate applicable to such Term Rate Advance,
then on the Alternative Fallback Rate Date the applicable Term Reference Rate in relation to such Term Rate Advance shall be the aggregate of:
(A)the Alternative Fallback Rate; and
(B)any applicable Alternative Fallback Rate Adjustment,
to be calculated by the Facility Agent in a manner consistent with prevailing market practice, provided that, if the sum of the Alternative Fallback Rate and the Alternative Fallback Rate Adjustment would be less than zero, in the case of an Advance under Additional Facility AT or Additional Facility AX, it shall be deemed to be zero, and in the case of any other Additional Facility, any other adjustment specified in the relevant Additional Facility Accession Agreement shall be made, provided further that to the extent such
103

prevailing market practice is not administratively feasible for the Facility Agent, the Alternative Fallback Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Facility Agent (in its sole discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, without any requirement to consult with or seek any consent or instruction from the Lenders or any other Finance Party) in consultation with UPC Broadband.
(h)Reference Bank Rate for Euro Term Rate Advances: In relation to a Euro Term Rate Advance, if paragraph (d) above applies but it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Historic Primary Term Rate, the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance shall, if it has been shortened pursuant to paragraph (b) above, revert to its previous length and the applicable Primary Term Rate shall be the Reference Bank Rate as of the Specified Time for Euros and for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance.
(i)Alternative Reference Bank Rate for Euro Term Rate Advances: In relation to a Euro Term Rate Advance, if paragraph (h) above applies but no Reference Bank Rate is available for Euros or the relevant Interest Period, the applicable Primary Term Rate shall be the Alternative Reference Bank Rate as of the Specified Time for Euros and for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Term Rate Advance.
(j)Cost of funds for Euro Term Rate Advances: In relation to a Euro Term Rate Advance, if paragraph (i) above applies but no Alternative Reference Bank Rate is available for Euros or the relevant Interest Period there shall be no Primary Term Rate for that Term Rate Advance and Clause 16.4 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Term Rate Advance for that Interest Period.
16.2 Calculation of Reference Bank Rate and Alternative Reference Bank Rate
In relation to Euro Term Rate Advances, the calculation of the Reference Bank Rate and Alternative Reference Bank Rate shall be made in accordance with the following provisions:
(a)subject to paragraph (b) below, if the Primary Term Rate is to be determined on the basis of a Reference Bank Rate but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time, the Reference Bank Rate shall be calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks;
(b)if at or about noon on the Quotation Date none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a quotation, there shall be no Reference Bank Rate for the relevant Interest Period;
(c)subject to paragraph (d) below, if the Primary Term Rate is to be determined on the basis of an Alternative Reference Bank Rate but an Alternative Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time, the Alternative Reference Bank Rate shall be calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Alternative Reference Banks; and
(d)if before close of business in London on the date falling one Business Day after the Quotation Date none or only one of the Alternative Reference Banks supplies a quotation, there shall be no Alternative Reference Bank Rate for the relevant Interest Period.
16.3 Market disruption
(a)If the Primary Term Rate is determined otherwise than on the basis of an Alternative Reference Bank Rate and before close of business in London on the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period of a Euro Term Rate Advance, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations exceed 40 per cent. of that Euro Term Rate Advance) that the cost to it of funding its participation in that Euro Term Rate Advance from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of the Primary Term Rate then the applicable Primary Term Rate shall be the Alternative Reference Bank Rate as of the Specified Time for Euros and for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Euro Term Rate Advance and if no Alternative Reference Bank Rate is available for the relevant currency or Interest Period there shall be no Primary Term Rate for that Euro Term Rate Advance and Clause 16.4 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Euro Term Rate Advance for the relevant Interest Period.
(b)If the Primary Term Rate is determined on the basis of an Alternative Reference Bank Rate and before close of business in London on the date falling one Business Day after the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period of a Euro Term Rate Advance, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations exceed 40 per cent. of that Euro Term Rate Advance) that the cost to it of funding its participation in that Euro Term Rate Advance from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of the Primary Term Rate then Clause 16.4 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Euro Term Rate Advance for the relevant Interest Period.
104

16.4 Cost of funds
(a)If this Clause 16.4 applies in relation to a Euro Term Rate Advance, the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of such Euro Term Rate Advance for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:
(i)the Margin; and
(ii)the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event within one Business Day of the first day of that Interest Period (or, if earlier, on the date falling five Business Days before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period), to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Lender of funding its participation in that Term Rate Advance from whatever source it may reasonably select.
(b)If this Clause 16.4 applies and the Facility Agent or UPC Broadband so requires, or the Primary Term Rate is to be determined by reference to a Reference Bank Rate or Alternative Reference Bank Rate, the Facility Agent (acting in its sole discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, without any requirement to consult with or seek any consent or instruction from the Lenders or any other Finance Party) and UPC Broadband shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.
(c)Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall, with the prior consent of the Facility Agent (acting in its sole discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, without any requirement to consult with or seek any consent or instruction from the Lenders or any other Finance Party) and UPC Broadband, be binding on all Parties.
(d)If this Clause 16.4 applies in relation to a Euro Term Rate Advance pursuant to Clause 16.3 (Market disruption) and:
(i)a Lender’s Funding Rate is less than the Primary Term Rate; or
(ii)a Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in paragraph (a)(ii) above,
the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Euro Term Rate Advance for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a) above, to be the Primary Term Rate.
(e)The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower (or UPC Broadband) of each Funding Rate relating to a Term Rate Advance.
(f)If this Clause 16.4 applies to a Euro Term Rate Advance pursuant to Clause 16.1 (Interest calculation if no Primary Term Rate) but any Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in paragraph (a)(ii) above, the rate of interest for that Lender shall be the weighted average of the quotations notified to the Facility Agent by the other Lenders.
16.5 Notification to UPC Broadband
If Clause 16.4 (Cost of funds) applies or if the Primary Term Rate is to be determined on the basis of an Alternative Reference Bank Rate the Facility Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify UPC Broadband.
16.6 Revocation of currency
If before 9.30 a.m. on any Quotation Date, the Facility Agent receives notice from a Lender that:
(a)it is impracticable for the Lender to fund its participation in an Advance in US Dollars or an Additional Currency (as applicable) during that Interest Period in the ordinary course of business in the London or (in the case of Euro) European interbank market; and/or
(b)the use of US Dollars or an Additional Currency (as applicable) might contravene any law or regulation,

(i)in relation to a disposal, the percentage of the Annualised EBITDA of the Borrower Group for what was the Latest Ratio Period at the time of the disposal which is represented by the Annualised EBITDA of the person or asset disposed of (the “EBITDA Percentage”), after deducting a percentage equal to the EBITDA Percentage multiplied by the Proportion Repaid; and
(ii)in relation to a Reinvestment, the percentage of the Annualised EBITDA of the Borrower Group for what was the Latest Ratio Period at the time of the Reinvestment (but taking into account each disposal made by the Borrower Group after the last day of that Latest Ratio Period and prior to the date of the relevant Reinvestment) which is represented by the Annualised EBITDA of the person or asset acquired multiplied by the Proportion Reinvested,
Where:
the “Proportion Reinvested” is that proportion of the purchase price for the person or asset acquired which is represented by the amount of the Net Proceeds of a previous disposal that were reinvested pursuant to the relevant Reinvestment;
the “Proportion Repaid” is that proportion of the Net Proceeds of that disposal prepaid pursuant to Clause 10.5(a) (Mandatory prepayment of disposal proceeds) and/or repaid pursuant to Clause 10.3 (Voluntary prepayment); and
“Reinvestment” means the reinvestment of all or any part of the Net Proceeds of a previous disposal made under paragraph (b)(liv) above by the Borrower Group after the 2006 Amendment Effective Date, including in circumstances where all or any part of such Net Proceeds are distributed as a Permitted Payment and an equity subscription is subsequently made in, or a Subordinated Shareholder Loan is subsequently made to, a member of the Borrower Group.

21.30 Limited Condition Transaction
(a)In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of UPC Broadband, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, where UPC Broadband has exercised its option under the first sentence of this paragraph (a) and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date that such definitive agreement for a Limited Condition Transaction is entered into prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted under this Agreement.
(b)In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the ratio of Senior Net Debt to Annualised EBITDA or Total Net Debt to Annualised EBITDA, or testing baskets set forth in this Agreement including baskets measured as a percentage or multiple, as applicable, of Total Assets or Annualised EBITDA, in each case, at the option of UPC Broadband (UPC Broadband’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether such action is permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed to be the date of the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”) provided that UPC Broadband shall be entitled to subsequently elect, in its sole discretion, the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction instead of the LCT Test Date as the applicable date of determination and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Financial Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in this Agreement, UPC Broadband, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any member of the Borrower Group could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with the relevant ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
145

(c)If UPC Broadband has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Annualised EBITDA or Total Assets, of UPC Broadband, a Permitted Affiliate Parent and any member of the Borrower Group or the person or assets subject to the Limited Condition Transaction (as if each reference to UPC Broadband or a member of the Borrower Group in such definitions was to such person or assets) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios, tests or basket amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If UPC Broadband has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability under this Agreement on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Financial Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(b)If the financial ratio set out in paragraph (a) above has been breached for a Ratio Period but is complied with on the last day of the next Ratio Period (either because the Financial Ratio Test Condition is not met for that next Ratio Period or because the Financial Ratio does not exceed 4.75:1 for that next Ratio Period), then, the prior breach of such financial ratio or any Event of Default arising therefrom shall not (or shall be deemed to not) directly or indirectly constitute, or result in, a breach of any representation, warranty, undertaking or other term in the Finance Documents or a Default or an Event of Default unless the Facility Agent has taken any action under Clause 23.19 (Maintenance Covenant Revolving Facility Acceleration) before the delivery of the certificate referred to at paragraph (a)(iii)(B) of Clause 21.2 (Financial information) in respect of the next Ratio Period.

(b)For the purposes of testing compliance with the financial ratio set out in this Clause 22 (Financial Covenant), testing any other financial ratio in this Agreement or calculating EBITDA in connection with any transaction, investment, acquisition, disposition, restructuring, corporate reorganisation or otherwise:
(i)calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer and are made on a pro forma basis giving effect to all material acquisitions and disposals made by the Borrower Group (including in respect of anticipated expense and cost reductions) and including as a result of, or that would result from, any actions taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken, by UPC Broadband or any other member of the Borrower Group including in connection with any cost reduction synergies or cost savings plan or program or in connection with any transaction, investment, acquisition, disposition, restructuring, corporate reorganisations or otherwise (regardless of whether these cost savings and cost reduction synergies could then be reflected in pro forma financial statements to the extent prepared);
(ii)unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all references to Annualised EBITDA shall be for the Latest Ratio Period (as defined in Clause 21.11(d) (Disposals));
(iii)EBITDA for the relevant period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if any incurrence, repayment, transaction, investment, acquisition, disposition, restructuring, corporate reorganisation or otherwise occurred on the first day of such period;
(iv)interest on any indebtedness that bears interest at a floating rate and that is being given pro forma effect shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of calculation had been applicable for the entire period (taking into account any hedging in respect of such indebtedness); and
(v)in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, the Annualised EBITDA and all outstanding Financial Indebtedness of any company or business division or other assets to be acquired or disposed of pursuant to a signed purchase agreement (which may be subject to one or more conditions precedent) may be given pro forma effect.
(c)For the purposes of calculating Annualised EBITDA for any period (or part of any period) or Total Assets in respect of which the relevant financial information does not include one or more members of the Borrower Group on a consolidated basis, the financial information available for such members of the Borrower Group on an unconsolidated basis for that period (or part of that period) may be used to calculate Annualised EBITDA or Total Assets (as applicable) for the Borrower Group on a combined basis.
22.4 Cure provisions
(a)UPC Broadband may cure a breach of the financial ratio set out in Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio) by procuring that:
(i)additional equity is injected into, and/or additional Subordinated Shareholder Loans are provided to, one or more members of the Borrower Group in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the amount which if it had been deducted from Senior Net Debt for the Ratio Period in respect of which the breach arose, would have avoided the breach;
(ii)additional equity is injected, and/or additional Subordinated Shareholder Loans are provided to, one or more members of the Borrower Group in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the amount which if it had been added to EBITDA for the Ratio Period in respect of which the breach arose, would have avoided the breach; or
(iii)any Revolving Facility Outstandings, Outstandings under any Additional Revolving Facility and/or net indebtedness under any Ancillary Facility are prepaid (from any source selected by UPC Broadband in its sole discretion) in an amount which if such prepayment had occurred immediately prior to the calculation on the last day of the Ratio Period in respect of which the breach arose, the Financial Ratio Test Condition as at the last day of that Ratio Period would have not been met and therefore the financial ratio would not have been required to be tested.
150

(b)A cure under this Clause 22.4 will not be effective unless:
(i)in the case of paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii), an amount equal to or greater than the required amount of additional equity or the proceeds of any Subordinated Shareholder Loans are received by one or more members of the Borrower Group; or
(ii)in the case of paragraph (a)(iii) above, any Revolving Facility Outstandings, Outstandings under any Additional Revolving Facility and/or net indebtedness under any Ancillary Facility that are required to be prepaid are so repaid,
in each case, within 30 Business Days of delivery of the financial statements delivered under Clause 21.2 (Financial information) which show that Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio) has been breached (“Cure Period”).
(c)No cure may be made under this Clause 22.4:
(i)in respect of more than five Ratio Periods during the life of the Additional Facilities; or
(ii)in respect of consecutive Ratio Periods.
(d)UPC Broadband shall make an election (at its sole discretion) by notice to the Facility Agent prior to the end of the Cure Period as to whether a breach of the financial ratio set out in Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio) shall be cured pursuant to a recalculation as described in either sub-paragraph (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above.
(e)If UPC Broadband makes an election for a recalculation as described in sub-paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above, it shall be under no obligation to apply the amount of additional equity or the proceeds of any Subordinated Shareholder Loans that are received by one or more members of the Borrower Group in prepayment of the Facilities or for any other specific purpose and such amount will be deemed to be deducted from Senior Net Debt or added to EBITDA for the purposes of Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio) (as applicable) as at the last day of the relevant Ratio Period.
(f)If UPC Broadband makes an election for a recalculation as described in sub-paragraph (a)(iii) above, the amount of any Revolving Facility Outstandings, Outstandings under any Additional Revolving Facility and/or net indebtedness under any Ancillary Facility that are prepaid shall be deemed to be deducted in the calculation of the Financial Ratio Test Condition for the purposes of Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio) as at the last day of the relevant Ratio Period.
(g)For the purpose of ascertaining compliance with Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio), the Financial Ratio Test Condition and the ratio set out in Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio), will be tested or retested, as applicable, giving effect to such elections and adjustments referred to in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) above. If, after giving effect to the elections and adjustments, the requirements of Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio) are met, then the requirements under Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as at the relevant original date of determination.
(h)Where a cure is exercised under this Clause 22.4 in respect of a breach of Clause 22.2 (Financial Ratio) for any financial quarter and UPC Broadband makes an election for a recalculation as described in sub-paragraph (a)(ii) above, the amount of additional equity and/or the proceeds of any Subordinated Shareholder Loans that are received by one or more members of the Borrower Group shall also be added in calculating EBITDA for any future Ratio Period that includes such financial quarter. Any Adjustments pursuant to this paragraph will not be treated as a separate cure.
22.5 Determinations
(a)Financial Indebtedness of the Borrower Group originally denominated in any currency other than Euro that has been swapped, directly or indirectly through one or more foreign exchange hedging transactions, into Euro, will be taken into account at its Euro equivalent using the effective exchange rate in the relevant foreign exchange hedging transactions.
(b)All the terms used above are to be calculated in accordance with the Relevant Accounting Principles.
151

(c)Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, Hedged Debt (as defined below) will be taken into account at its Euro equivalent calculated using the same weighted average exchange rates for the relevant Ratio Period used in the profit and loss statements of the relevant accounts of the Borrower Group for calculating the Euro equivalent of EBITDA denominated in the same currency as the currency in which that Hedged Debt is denominated or into which it has been swapped, as described below.
“Hedged Debt” means:
(i)Financial Indebtedness of the Borrower Group originally denominated in any currency other than Euro in which any member of the Borrower Group earns EBITDA (a “functional currency”) and that has not been swapped, directly or indirectly through one or more foreign exchange hedging transactions, into Euro; and
(ii)Financial Indebtedness of the Borrower Group that has been swapped, directly or indirectly through one or more foreign exchange hedging transactions, into a functional currency.
(d)If there is a dispute as to any interpretation of or computation for Clause 22.1 (Financial definitions), the interpretation or computation of the auditors of UPC Broadband shall prevail.

UPC Broadband may exercise such right to replace the Facility Agent twice during the life of the Facilities.

(i)would not be materially prejudicial to the position of any Lender and in the opinion of the Facility Agent such modification is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is to correct a manifest error;
(ii)relates to the increase in the principal amount of a Commitment of a Lender in relation to any Facility and such increased Commitment has been requested by UPC Broadband to fund any original issue discount required to be paid to that Lender in relation to that Facility under any Finance Document;

Any modification made in accordance with this paragraph (e) shall be made on such terms as the Facility Agent may determine, shall be binding upon the Lenders, and shall be notified by UPC Broadband (if not notified by the Facility Agent) to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.
(f)A waiver of issuance or the release of any Guarantor from any of its obligations under Clause 19 (Guarantee) or a release of any Security under the Security Documents, in each case, other than in accordance with the terms of any Finance Document shall require the prior written consent of affected Lenders whose Available Commitments plus Outstandings amount in aggregate to more than 90 per cent. of the Available Facilities plus aggregate Outstandings.
(g)If any Primary Term Rate is not available for a currency which can be selected for an Advance, any amendment or waiver which relates to providing for another benchmark rate to apply in relation to that currency in place of that Primary Term Rate (or which relates to aligning any provision of a Finance Document to the use of that other benchmark rate) may be made with the consent of the Facility Agent (acting in its sole discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, without any requirement to consult with or seek any consent or instruction from the Lenders or any other Finance Party) and UPC Broadband.
29.3 Class Exception
Any amendment or waiver which:
(a)relates only to the rights or obligations applicable to a particular Utilisation or Facility; and
(b)does not materially and adversely affect the rights or interests of Lenders in respect of any other Utilisation or Facility,
may be made in accordance with this Clause 29 (Amendments and Waivers) but as if references in this Clause 29 (Amendments and Waivers) to the specified proportion of Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each affected Lender) whose consent would, but for this Clause 29.3 (Class Exception), be required for that amendment or waiver were to that proportion of the Lenders participating in that particular Utilisation or Facility.
29.4 Release of Guarantees and Security
(a)Subject to paragraph (b) below, at the time of completion of any disposal by UPC Broadband Holdco, any Permitted Affiliate Holdco, any Subsidiary of UPC Broadband Holdco or any Permitted Affiliate Holdco which is permitted to issue, and has issued, Holdco Debt, any Obligor or any other provider of Security of any shares, assets or revenues the Security Agent shall (and it is hereby authorised by the other relevant Finance Parties to) at the request of and cost of the relevant Obligor, execute such documents as may be required to:
(i)release those shares, assets or revenues from Security constituted by any relevant Security Document or certify that any floating charge constituted by any relevant Security Documents over such assets, revenues or rights has not crystallised; and
(ii)release any person which as a result of that disposal, ceases to be the UPC Broadband Holdco, any Permitted Affiliate Holdco, any Subsidiary of UPC Broadband Holdco or any Permitted Affiliate Holdco which is permitted to issue, and has issued, Holdco Debt or any Obligor, from any guarantee, indemnity or Security Document to which it is a party and its other obligations under any other Finance Document.
(b)The Security Agent shall only be required under paragraph (a) above to grant the release of any Security or to deliver a certificate of non-crystallisation on account of a disposal as described in that paragraph if:
(i)the disposal is permitted under Clause 21.11 (Disposals) or the consent of the Majority Lenders has been obtained; and
168

(ii)to the extent that the disposal is to be in exchange for replacement assets the Security Agent has either received (or is satisfied, acting reasonably, that it will receive immediately following the disposal) one or more duly executed Security Documents granting Security over those replacement assets or is satisfied, acting reasonably, that the replacement assets will be subject to Security pursuant to any existing Security Documents.
(c)If at any time the Obligors at the relevant time represent a percentage which is greater than that required to satisfy the 80% Security Test and UPC Broadband provides a certificate to the Facility Agent certifying that upon the release of one or more specified Obligors from its obligations under this Agreement the 80% Security Test would continue to be satisfied, the Facility Agent and/or Security Agent (as applicable) shall (and each of them is hereby authorised by the other relevant Finance Parties to) at the request and cost of UPC Broadband, execute such documents as may be required to release such specified Obligors from any guarantees, indemnities and/or Security Documents to which it is a party and to release it from its other obligations under any Finance Document. Any Obligor, whose assets are to be released by this paragraph (c) or any other provision of this Agreement or the Finance Documents and who as a result will not have granted security over its assets in accordance with the 80% Security Test for the benefit of the Finance Parties, shall, for purposes of the determination of the 80% Security Test, not be treated as an Obligor for the calculation in the preceding sentence and on a going forward basis. The release provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not permit any release of any guarantees or Security in favour of the Finance Parties, in each case, granted by UPC Broadband Holdco, UPC Broadband and any Borrower (other than UPC Broadband) for as long as such person is a Borrower.
(d)The Security Agent shall (and it is hereby authorised by the other Finance Parties to) at the cost of the relevant Obligor, execute such documents as may be required or desirable to effect any release (i) permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) to which a prior written consent of the relevant Lenders has been granted in accordance with Clause 29.2(f) (Exceptions) and (iii) required to permit the granting of any Security Interest permitted under Clause 21.8 (Negative pledge).
(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, UPC Broadband may require the Security Agent to, and the Security Agent shall (and it is hereby authorised by the other relevant Finance Parties to) at the cost of the relevant Obligor, execute such documents as may be required or desirable to effect the release of the Security granted over any asset of an Obligor pursuant to the Security Documents to which it is a party to enable the relevant Obligor to grant in connection with that asset any encumbrance permitted under Clause 21.8 (Negative pledge). If, immediately prior to such release the relevant Obligor was treated as an Obligor for the purpose of the 80% Security Test, the relevant Obligor shall continue to be treated as an Obligor for those purposes notwithstanding any such release.
29.5 Calculation of Consent
Where a request for a waiver of, or an amendment to, any provision of any Finance Document has been sent by the Facility Agent to the Lenders at the request of an Obligor:
(a)each Lender that does not respond to such request for waiver or amendment within 10 Business Days after receipt by it of such request (or within such other period as the Facility Agent and UPC Broadband shall specify), shall be excluded from the calculation in determining whether the requisite level of consent to such waiver or amendment was granted; and
(b)the Facility Agent, in determining whether sufficient Lenders have consented to that amendment or waiver, shall not take into account any Commitments or Utilisations under any relevant Facility in relation to which a cancellation or prepayment notice (as applicable) has been served in accordance with Clause 10.2 (Voluntary Cancellation) or Clause 10.3 (Voluntary Prepayment) provided that to the extent that any cancellation or prepayment is not made on the date specified in a relevant cancellation or prepayment notice then the requirement to take into account any such Commitments or Utilisations under any relevant Facility shall be reinstated with retroactive effect from the date of delivery of such cancellation or prepayment notice.
29.6 Change of Currency
(a)If more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then:
169

(i)any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Facility Agent; and
(ii)any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official conversion rate recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Facility Agent acting reasonably.
(b)If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will be amended to the extent the Facility Agent specifies to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in currency had occurred.
29.7 Waivers and remedies cumulative
The rights of each Party under the Finance Documents:
(a)may be exercised as often as necessary, subject to the terms of the Finance Documents;
(b)are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law; and
(c)may be waived only in writing and specifically.
Delay in the exercise or non-exercise of any such right is not a waiver of that right.
29.8 Disenfranchisement of Defaulting Lenders
(a)For so long as a Defaulting Lender has any Available Commitments, in determining whether the requisite level of consent has been obtained for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the relevant Finance Documents, that Defaulting Lender’s Commitments will be reduced by the amount of its Available Commitments.
(b)For the purposes of this Clause 29.8 (Disenfranchisement of Defaulting Lenders), the Facility Agent may assume that the following Lenders are Defaulting Lenders:
(i)any Lender which has notified the Facility Agent that it has become a Defaulting Lender; and
(ii)any Lender in relation to which it is aware that any of the events or circumstances referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender” has occurred,
unless it has received notice to the contrary from the Lender concerned (together with any supporting evidence reasonably requested by the Facility Agent) or the Facility Agent is otherwise aware that the Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender.
29.9 Replacement of Lenders
(a)If at any time:
(i)any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender; or
(ii)any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender,
then UPC Broadband may, on not less than three Business Days prior notice to the Facility Agent and that Lender, (A) replace that Lender by requiring it to (and that Lender shall) transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or other person selected by UPC Broadband for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s share in the outstanding Advances and all accrued interest and fees and other amounts payable to it under this Agreement or (B) prepay that Lender all but not part of its share in its outstanding Advances and all accrued interest and fees and other amounts payable to it under this Agreement from cash flow, Subordinated Shareholder Loans or New Equity received by the Borrower Group. Any notice delivered under this paragraph (a) shall be accompanied by a Novation Certificate or Transfer Agreement complying with Clause 30.3 (Transfers by Lenders), which Novation Certificate or Transfer Agreement shall be immediately executed by the relevant Non-Consenting
170

Lender or, as the case may be, Non-Funding Lender and returned to UPC Broadband. If a Lender does not execute and/or return a Novation Certificate or Transfer Agreement as required by this paragraph (a) within two Business Days of delivery by UPC Broadband, the Facility Agent shall execute (and is hereby irrevocably authorised by the relevant Lender to do so) that Novation Certificate or Transfer Agreement on behalf of such Lender.
(b)UPC Broadband shall have no right to replace the Facility Agent or the Security Agent and none of the foregoing nor shall any Lender have any obligation to UPC Broadband to find a replacement Lender or other such person. UPC Broadband may only exercise its replacement or prepayment rights in respect of any relevant Lender within 90 days of becoming entitled to do so on each occasion such Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or a Non-Funding Lender.
(c)In no event shall the Lender being replaced be required to pay or surrender to such replacement Lender or other person any of the fees received by such Lender being replaced pursuant to this Agreement.
29.10 Published Rate
(a)Any amendment or waiver which relates to providing for the use of any alternative benchmark rate (each a “Replacement Benchmark Rate”) as the replacement for any Published Rate from time to time for the purpose of any Utilisation under a Compounded Rate Facility in any currency under this Agreement including, without limitation:
(i)aligning any provision of any Finance Document to the use of that Replacement Benchmark Rate in relation to a Compounded Rate Facility;
(ii)enabling that Replacement Benchmark Rate to be used for the calculation of interest under this Agreement in relation to a Compounded Rate Facility (including, without limitation, any consequential changes required to enable that Replacement Benchmark Rate to be used for the purposes of this Agreement in relation to a Compounded Rate Facility);
(iii)implementing market conventions applicable to that Replacement Benchmark Rate in relation to a Compounded Rate Facility or aligning the means of calculation of interest on a Compounded Rate Advance under a Compounded Rate Facility in any currency under this Agreement to any recommendation of a relevant nominating body which relates to the use of the RFR for that currency on a compounded basis in the international or any relevant domestic syndicated loan markets;
(iv)providing for appropriate fallback (and, if applicable, market disruption) provisions for that Replacement Benchmark Rate in relation to a Compounded Rate Facility;
(v)adjusting the pricing to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one Party to another as a result of the application of that Replacement Benchmark Rate in relation to a Compounded Rate Facility;
(vi)any other amendment or waiver which may be reasonably required, appropriate, necessary or desirable in connection with and/or to facilitate the implementation and use of such Replacement Benchmark Rate in relation to a Compounded Rate Facility; or
(vii)any further modification to the terms relating to that Replacement Benchmark Rate in relation to a Compounded Rate Facility after its implementation under this Agreement (including on the 2022 Amendment and Effective Date),
may be made with the consent of the Facility Agent (acting in its sole discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, without any requirement to consult with or seek any consent or instruction from the Lenders or any other Finance Party) and UPC Broadband (in each case, acting reasonably) from time to time, provided that in selecting any alternative benchmark rate the Facility Agent and UPC Broadband shall consider the benchmark rates being used at that time in the then prevailing market for syndicated debt financings of a similar size to, and in the same currency as, the relevant Utilisation and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Facility Agent and UPC Broadband may agree to provide for the use of different benchmark rates for different Utilisations and/or Facilities under this Agreement notwithstanding that they may be denominated in the same currency.
171

(b)The Parties acknowledge that certain provisions of this Agreement relating to (i) Compounded Rate Advances under a Compounded Rate Facility have been drafted with regard to the LMA recommended form multicurrency term and revolving facilities agreement incorporating rate switch provisions (lookback without observation shift) published on 28 May 2021 (the “LMA Rate Switch Agreement”) and (ii) Term Rate Advances denominated in Dollars have been drafted with regard to the LMA recommended form multicurrency term and revolving facilities agreement incorporating Term SOFR for use in investment grade transactions published on 25 May 2023 (the “LMA Term SOFR Agreement”). The Parties agree that, at the request of UPC Broadband, the Facility Agent will notify each of the Lenders of the proposed amendment (for information purposes only) and promptly enter into any amendments to this Agreement reasonably requested by UPC Broadband and agreed by the Facility Agent (acting in its sole discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, without any requirement to consult with or seek any consent or instruction from the Lenders or any other Finance Party) (acting reasonably) to ensure that the terms of this Agreement relating to Compounded Rate Advances under a Compounded Rate Facility and Term Rate Advances in Dollars reflect the equivalent terms of any subsequent version of the LMA Rate Switch Agreement or LMA Term SOFR Agreement (as applicable) or any recommended form of multicurrency term and revolving facilities agreement incorporating rate switch provisions (lookback without observation shift) or Term SOFR provisions published by the LMA, whilst preserving, to the extent reasonably practicable, any negotiated deviations from, or supplements to, the LMA Rate Switch Agreement or LMA Term SOFR Agreement (as applicable), and any election of drafting options set out in the LMA Rate Switch Agreement, in each case agreed between the Parties and reflected in this Agreement as of the 2022 Amendment Effective Date or the 2023 Amendment Effective Date (as applicable).

172

in a minimum amount (in relation to a Revolving Facility Commitment or an Additional Facility Commitment denominated in Euros) of €1,000,000 or (in relation to a Revolving Facility Commitment or an Additional Facility Commitment denominated in US Dollars) of US$1,000,000 or, in each case, such lower amount as the Existing Lender may agree with UPC Broadband (save that in the case of a partial assignment, transfer or novation by a Lender of its rights and/or obligations under the Revolving Facility or an Additional Facility to an Affiliate or Related Fund of that Lender, such assignment, transfer or novation shall be in a minimum amount (in relation to a Revolving Facility Commitment or an Additional Facility Commitment denominated in Euros) of €500,000 or (in relation to a Revolving Facility Commitment or an Additional Facility Commitment denominated in US Dollars) of US$500,000 or, in each case, such lower amount as that Lender may agree with UPC Broadband).
(b)The prior consent of UPC Broadband is required for any such assignment, transfer or novation (unless to an Affiliate or to a Lender, but without prejudice to paragraph (a) above), provided that:
(i)UPC Broadband’s consent must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
(ii)the prior consent of UPC Broadband is not required when (A) the assignment, novation or transfer of a Lender’s rights and/or obligations is to an Affiliate or Related Fund of that Lender or (B) an Event of Default is continuing; and
(iii)nothing in this Clause 30.3 restricts the ability of any Lender to enter into any sub participation or other arrangement with any third party relating to the Finance Documents which does not transfer to that third party any obligation and/or legal or equitable interest in any of the rights arising under this Agreement.
(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Lender shall be entitled to assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or obligations under the Finance Documents in relation to the Revolving Facility or any Additional Revolving Facility without the prior written consent of UPC Broadband, provided that no such consent shall be required in the case of any assignment or transfer:
(i)by a Lender to another Lender under the Revolving Facility or any Additional Revolving Facility and/or to its Affiliate (or in the case of any Lender which constitutes a fund advised and/or managed by a common person or an Affiliate thereof, to any other fund managed by such common person or Affiliate);
(ii)to a person that is a lender under any revolving credit facility made available to any Affiliate of UPC Broadband; or
(iii)to any New Lender at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing.
(d)A transfer of obligations will be effective only if the obligations are novated in accordance with Clause 30.4 (Procedure for novations).
(e)On each occasion an Existing Lender assigns, transfers or novates any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (other than to an Affiliate or Related Fund of that Existing Lender), the New Lender shall, on the date the assignment, transfer and/or novation takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent for its own account a fee of €1,500.
(f)An Existing Lender is not responsible to a New Lender for:
(i)the execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of any Finance Document or any other document;
(ii)the collectability of amounts payable under any Finance Document; or
(iii)the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in connection with any Finance Document.
(g)Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that:
173

(i)it has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related persons in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and
(ii)it will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related persons while any amount is or may be outstanding under this Agreement or any Revolving Facility Commitment or Additional Facility Commitment is in force.
(h)Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:
(i)accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and/or obligations assigned, transferred or novated under this Clause 30.3; or
(ii)support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise.
(i)Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender (to the extent rights have been assigned, transferred or novated to that New Lender and to the extent that obligations have been assumed by the New Lender) but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement and its Revolving Facility Commitment and its Additional Facility Commitment have been cancelled or reduced to nil.
(j)If any assignment, transfer or novation results, or will result by reason of circumstances existing at the time of the assignment, transfer or novation, in additional amounts becoming due under Clause 15 (Tax Gross-up and Indemnities) or amounts becoming due under Clause 17 (Increased Costs), the New Lender shall be entitled to receive such additional amounts only to the extent that the Existing Lender would have been so entitled had there been no such assignment, transfer or novation.
(k)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the consent of each L/C Bank under the Revolving Facility or any Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) shall be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for any assignment or transfer of any Lender’s rights and/or obligations under the Revolving Facility or the relevant Additional Revolving Facility (as applicable) provided that in relation to any assignment or transfer required by UPC Broadband under Clause 10.7 (Right of prepayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender), an L/C Bank may not withhold such consent unless, acting reasonably, the reason for so doing relates to the creditworthiness of the proposed New Lender.
30.4 Procedure for novations
(a)A novation is effected if:
(i)the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facility Agent a duly completed certificate (a “Novation Certificate”), substantially in the form of Part 1 of Schedule 4 (Novation Certificate); and
(ii)the Facility Agent executes it (which the Facility Agent shall promptly do).
(b)Each Finance Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed Novation Certificate on its behalf if that Novation Certificate effects a novation permitted by Clause 30.3 (Transfers by Lenders).
(c)To the extent that they are expressed to be the subject of the novation in the Novation Certificate and subject to paragraph (e) below:
(i)the Existing Lender and the other Parties (the “existing Parties”) will be released from their obligations to each other (the “discharged obligations”);
(ii)the New Lender and the existing Parties will assume obligations towards each other which differ from the discharged obligations only insofar as they are owed to or assumed by the New Lender instead of the Existing Lender;
174

(iii)the rights of the Existing Lender against the existing Parties and vice versa (the “discharged rights”) will be cancelled;
(iv)the New Lender and the existing Parties will acquire rights against each other which differ from the discharged rights only insofar as they are exercisable by or against the New Lender instead of the Existing Lender; and
(v)the New Lender shall become, by the execution by the Facility Agent of such Novation Certificate, bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement as if it were an original party thereto as a Senior Beneficiary and shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations towards the other parties to the Intercreditor Agreement as would have been acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an original party to the Intercreditor Agreement as a Senior Beneficiary,
all on the later of (i) five Business Days after receipt of a Novation Certificate executed by the Existing Lender and the New Lender; (ii) the date of execution of such Novation Certificate by the Facility Agent or; (iii) the date specified in the Novation Certificate.
(d)If the effective date of a novation is after the date a Request is received by the Facility Agent but before the date the requested Advance is disbursed to the relevant Borrower, the Existing Lender shall be obliged to participate in that Advance in respect of its discharged obligations notwithstanding that novation, and the New Lender shall reimburse the Existing Lender for its participation in that Advance and all interest and fees thereon up to the date of reimbursement (in each case to the extent attributable to the discharged obligations) within three Business Days of the Utilisation Date of that Advance.
(e)If an Existing Lender effects a Mid-Interest Period Transfer:
(i)the Facility Agent has an obligation to make interest accruing on and prior to the date on which the Mid-Interest Period Transfer took effect (the “Pre Transfer Accrued Interest”) available to the Existing Lender in accordance with Clause 14.3 (Distribution). Once such accrued interest has been made available to the Existing Lender in accordance with Clause 14.3 (Distribution), the Facility Agent will be released from all obligations towards the Existing Lender;
(ii)the Facility Agent will have no obligation to pay Pre Transfer Accrued Interest to the New Lender;
(iii)such Existing Lender will continue to have the right to receive Pre Transfer Accrued Interest. Once such Pre-Transfer Accrued Interest has been made available to such Existing Lender in accordance with Clause 14.3 (Distribution), all rights of such Existing Lender against the Facility Agent will be cancelled; and
(iv)the New Lender will have no right to receive Pre Transfer Accrued Interest from the Facility Agent.
30.5 Procedure for assignments
(a)An assignment and assumption of rights and obligations will be effective only if the rights and obligations are assigned and assumed in accordance with this Clause 30.5 (Procedure for assignments).
(b)Subject to Clause 30.3 (Transfers by Lenders), an Existing Lender may effect an assignment or transfer of an interest in any Facility by (A) executing and delivering to the Facility Agent a Transfer Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Facility Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Facility Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Facility Agent a Transfer Agreement, and the New Lender shall provide to the Facility Agent such information as may be required by the Facility Agent for the purposes of this Agreement (including any applicable tax forms) in which the New Lender shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Obligors and their Affiliates or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the New Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including US federal and state securities laws.
(c)By executing and delivering the Transfer Agreement, the Existing Lender and the New Lender thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other Parties the representations set out in paragraph 1 of Annex 1 of the Transfer Agreement.
175

(d)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Transfer Agreement executed by an Existing Lender and a New Lender, the transfer fee referred to in Clause 30.3(e) (Transfers by Lenders) and, if required, the written consent of UPC Broadband to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Facility Agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable (i) accept such Transfer Agreement and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment intended to be effected pursuant to a Transfer Agreement shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in Clause 30.10 (Register).
30.6 Designated Entities
(a)A Lender (the “Related Lender”) may designate an affiliate or substitute Facility Office (a “Designated Entity”) as its Facility Office for the purpose of participating in Utilisations to a Borrower in a particular jurisdiction.
(b)An affiliate or Facility Office of a Lender may be designated for the purposes of paragraph (a) above by acceding as a Designated Entity by signing an accession agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 9 (Form of Designated Entity Accession Agreement).
(c)A Designated Entity does not have any Commitment and does not have any obligations under this Agreement prior to such Designated Entity participating in a Utilisation.
(d)When a Designated Entity participates in a Utilisation:
(i)subject to paragraph (e) below, it shall be entitled to all the rights of a Lender and have the corresponding obligations of a Lender, in each case under the Finance Documents relating to its participation in any such Utilisations; and
(ii)the other parties to the Finance Documents shall treat the Designated Entity as a Lender for these purposes.
The Designated Entity is a Party for these purposes.
(e)For the purposes only of voting in connection with any Finance Document, the participation of a Designated Entity in any outstanding Utilisations shall be deemed to be a participation of the Related Lender.
(f)Any notice or communication to be made to a Designated Entity shall be served directly on the Designated Entity at the address supplied to the Facility Agent by the Related Lender where the Related Lender or Designated Entity reasonably requests or, if no such request has been made, shall be delivered to the Related Lender in accordance with this Agreement.
(g)A Designated Entity may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its participation in any Utilisation (and the Related Lender may assign or transfer any corresponding Commitment) in accordance with this Clause 30 (Changes to the Parties).
30.7 Permitted Affiliate Group Designation
(a)UPC Broadband may provide the Facility Agent with notice that it wishes to include any Affiliate (the “Permitted Affiliate Parent”) of UPC Broadband and the Subsidiaries of any such Permitted Affiliate Parent as members of the Borrower Group for the purposes of this Agreement. Such Affiliate shall become a Permitted Affiliate Parent for the purposes of this Agreement upon confirmation from the Facility Agent to UPC Broadband that:
(i)such Affiliate and UPC Broadband have complied with the requirements of Clause 30.8 (Additional Obligors) and such Affiliate has acceded to this Agreement as a Borrower or as a Guarantor;
(ii)Security has been granted (in form and substance satisfactory, to the Facility Agent (acting reasonably)) in favour of the Security Agent over all of such Affiliate’s shares and all of the rights in relation to loans from any member of the Wider Group (other than such Affiliate and its Subsidiaries) to such Affiliate and its Subsidiaries;
176

(iii)UPC Broadband has delivered a certificate to the Facility Agent signed by an authorised signatory of UPC Broadband which certifies that:
(A)the designation of such Affiliate as a Permitted Affiliate Parent under this Agreement will not:
(1)materially and adversely affect the Security and guarantees provided in relation to the liabilities under this Agreement; or
(2)result in the Lenders under this Agreement becoming structurally subordinated in right of payment to lenders to the Permitted Affiliate Parent and its Subsidiaries; and
(B)if the ratio of Total Net Debt to Annualised EBITDA of the Borrower Group is calculated for the most recent Ratio Period ending prior to the Permitted Affiliate Parent becoming a Party for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Clause 21.2 (Financial information) (the “Relevant Ratio Period”) but adding to the:
(1)amount of Senior Net Debt and Total Net Debt used in such calculations any net increase in the Senior Net Debt or Total Net Debt of the Borrower Group (as applicable) since the end of the Relevant Ratio Period or subtracting from the amount of Senior Net Debt or Total Net Debt (as applicable) used in such calculation any net reduction in the Senior Net Debt or Total Net Debt of the Borrower Group (as applicable) (in each case taking into account the amount of Senior Net Debt or Total Net Debt (as applicable) attributable to the Permitted Affiliate Parent becoming a Party); and
(2)Annualised EBITDA of the Borrower Group, the Annualised EBITDA of the Permitted Affiliate Parent and its Subsidiaries for the Relevant Ratio Period,
the ratio of Senior Net Debt to Annualised EBITDA of the Borrower Group would be equal to or less than 4.50:1 and the ratio of Total Net Debt to Annualised EBITDA of the Borrower Group would be equal to or less than 5.50:1;
(iv)it has received, in form and substance satisfactory to it (acting reasonably):
(A)a combined Borrower Group business plan pro forma for the designation of such Affiliate as a Permitted Affiliate Parent which sets out the management plan for the period from the date of the proposed designation up to and including the earlier to occur of:
(1)the then latest applicable Final Maturity Date; and
(2)the date falling three years from the date of the relevant designation;
(B)an updated group structure chart showing the Common Holding Company (as defined below) and all of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries pro forma for the designation of such Affiliate as a Permitted Affiliate Parent; and
(C)if available, financial statements for the last financial year of the Permitted Affiliate Parent and its Subsidiaries or any Holding Company of the Permitted Affiliate Parent and its Subsidiaries including consolidated balance sheets, consolidated income statements and statements of cash flow; and
(v)UPC Broadband has given written notice to the Facility Agent identifying a person that is a Holding Company of UPC Broadband and each Permitted Affiliate Parent as the common Holding Company for the purposes of this Agreement (“Common Holding Company”) provided that the Common Holding Company and any of its Holding Companies has not issued or incurred, and shall not issue or incur, Holdco Debt.
177

(ii)any person to whom information is required or requested to be disclosed by any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority or similar body, the rules of any relevant stock exchange or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation if the person to whom that Funding Rate or Reference Bank Quotation is to be given is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that it may be price-sensitive information except that there shall be no requirement to so inform if, in the opinion of the Facility Agent or the relevant Obligor, as the case may be, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances;

than pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) above) the Facility Agent shall not include the details of any individual Reference Bank Quotation as part of any such notification.
32.2 Related obligations

(b)The Facility Agent and each Obligor agree (to the extent permitted by law and regulation) to inform the relevant Lender or Reference Bank or Alternative Reference Bank, as the case may be:
(i)of the circumstances of any disclosure made pursuant to Clause 32.1(c)(iii) (Confidentiality and disclosure) except where such disclosure is made to any of the persons referred to in that paragraph during the ordinary course of its supervisory or regulatory function; and
(ii)upon becoming aware that any information has been disclosed in breach of this Clause 32.
32.3 No Event of Default
No Event of Default will occur by reason only of an Obligor’s failure to comply with this Clause 32.

33.1 Contractual set off
Whilst any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:
(a)a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed by an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off; and
(b)any credit balances taken into account by an Ancillary Facility Lender when operating a net limit in respect of any overdraft under an Ancillary Facility shall on enforcement of the Finance Documents be applied first in the reduction of the overdraft provided under that Ancillary Facility in accordance with its terms.
33.2 Set-off not mandatory
No Finance Party shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by Clause 33.1 (Contractual set off).
33.3 Notice of set-off
Any Finance Party exercising its rights under Clause 33.1 (Contractual set off) shall notify the relevant Obligor promptly after set-off is applied.
34.PRO RATA SHARING

If any amount owing by an Obligor under any Finance Document to a Finance Party (the “recovering Finance Party”) is discharged by payment, set-off or any other manner other than through the Facility Agent in accordance with Clause 14 (Payments) (a “recovery”), then:
(a)the recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the recovery to the Facility Agent;
182

(b)the Facility Agent shall determine whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Finance Party would have received had the recovery been received by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 14 (Payments);
(c)subject to Clause 34.3 (Exceptions), the recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the “redistribution”) equal to the excess;
(d)the Facility Agent shall treat the redistribution as if it were a payment by the Obligor concerned under Clause 14 (Payments) and shall pay the redistribution to the Finance Parties (other than the recovering Finance Party) in accordance with Clause 14.8 (Partial payments); and
(e)after payment of the full redistribution, the recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the portion of the claims paid under paragraph (d) above, and that Obligor will owe the recovering Finance Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged.
34.2 Reversal of redistribution
If under Clause 34.1 (Redistribution):
(a)a recovering Finance Party must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and
(b)the recovering Finance Party has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery,
each Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the recovering Finance Party through the Facility Agent, reimburse the recovering Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party. Thereupon the subrogation in Clause 34.1(e) (Redistribution) will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.
Each Finance Party agrees with the Facility Agent that it will comply with any notice given to it by the Facility Agent under this Clause 34.2.
34.3 Exceptions
(a)A recovering Finance Party need not pay a redistribution to the extent that it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the Obligor concerned in the amount of the redistribution pursuant to Clause 34.1(e) (Redistribution).
(b)A recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal proceedings, if the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal proceedings but did not do so and did not take separate legal proceedings.
34.4 Ancillary Facility Lenders
(a)This Clause 34 (Pro Rata Sharing) shall not apply to any receipt or recovery by a Lender in its capacity as an Ancillary Facility Lender at any time prior to service of notice under Clause 23.18 (Acceleration) or Clause 23.19 (Maintenance Covenant Revolving Facility Acceleration).
(b)Following service of notice under Clause 23.18 (Acceleration) or Clause 23.19 (Maintenance Covenant Revolving Facility Acceleration), this Clause 34 (Pro Rata Sharing) shall apply to all receipts or recoveries by Ancillary Facility Lenders except to the extent that the receipt or recovery represents a reduction from the Designated Gross Amount for an Ancillary Facility to its Designated Net Amount.
34.5 Contractual recognition of bail-in
Notwithstanding any other term of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Parties, each Party acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any Party to any other Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:
183

(a)any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including:
(i)a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and
(iii)a cancellation of any such liability; and
(b)a variation of any term of any Finance Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.
34.6 QFC Credit Support
To the extent that the Finance Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the Parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Finance Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Finance Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Finance Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the Parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)For the purposes of this Clause 34.6, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a Party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such Party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
35.SEVERABILITY
If a provision of any Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect:

SCHEDULE 11
AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES
1.Security Principles
(a)The guarantees and security to be provided will be given in accordance with the security principles set out in this Schedule (the “Security Principles”). This Schedule addresses the manner in which the Security Principles will impact on the guarantees and security proposed to be taken in relation to this transaction.
(b)The Security Principles embody recognition by all Parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining guarantees and security from all Obligors and third party security providers (together the “Security Providers”) in every jurisdiction in which the Security Providers are incorporated. In particular:
(i)general statutory limitations (including, but not limited to, with respect to the relevant jurisdictions for which guarantee limitation language is set out in Clause 19.9 (Limitation) of this Agreement, such limitations as set out therein), regulatory requirements or restrictions, tax restrictions, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalisation”, “earnings stripping”, “controlled foreign corporation” and “capital maintenance” rules, retention of title claims, employee or works council consultation or approval requirements and similar principles may limit the ability of a Security Provider to provide a guarantee or security or may require that the enforcement of the guarantee or security be limited by or to an amount or otherwise; if any such limit applies, the guarantees and security provided will be limited to the maximum amount which the relevant Security Provider may provide having regard to applicable law (including any jurisprudence); additional guarantee limitations may be included in any Obligor Accession Agreement where required in connection with the accession of a new Obligor;
(ii)guarantees and security will not be required from or over the shares in, or over the assets of, any joint venture or similar arrangement or any person which is neither an Obligor nor a Holding Company of an Obligor;
(iii)third party security providers will not be required to provide any guarantees;
(iv)the security and extent of its perfection will be agreed taking into account the cost to the Borrower Group of providing such security (including any increase to the tax and/or regulatory costs of the Borrower Group) so as to ensure that, in the reasonable opinion of UPC Broadband, those costs are proportionate to the benefit accruing to the Finance Parties and the maximum guaranteed or secured amount may be limited to minimise stamp duty, notarisation, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the benefit of increasing the guaranteed or secured amount is disproportionate to the level of such stamp duty, notarisation, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties, taking into account the level of such stamp duty, notarisation, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties, provided that no maximum secured amount may be limited to minimise any taxes imposed pursuant to section 956 of the Code;
(v)where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the cost of granting security over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such security, security will, subject to (iv) above, be granted over the material assets only;
(vi)unless granted under a global security document governed by the law of the jurisdiction of a Security Provider or under English law, all security (other than share security over its subsidiaries) shall be governed by the law of and secure assets located in the jurisdiction of incorporation of that Security Provider;
(vii)any assets subject to third party arrangements which are permitted by this Agreement and which prevent those assets from being charged will be excluded from any relevant security document;
(viii)if there are third party arrangements in place in respect of any asset, business or person acquired by the Borrower Group (where those third party arrangements were not entered into in contemplation of that acquisition) as a result of which the consent of a third party is required for that acquired person to provide a guarantee or to secure any acquired asset, such guarantee and/or security will not be required to be granted;
219

(ix)Security Providers will not be required to give guarantees or enter into security documents if that would conflict with the fiduciary duties of their directors or contravene any legal prohibition or result in a risk of personal or criminal liability on the part of any officer provided that the relevant Security Provider shall use reasonable endeavours to overcome any such obstacle;
(x)the granting of guarantees, perfection of security, when required, and other legal formalities will be completed as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within the time periods specified in the Finance Documents thereof or (if earlier or to the extent no such time periods are specified in the Finance Documents) within the time periods specified by applicable law in order to ensure due perfection or as otherwise set out in this Schedule;
(xi)the granting of guarantees, security or perfection of security will not be required if (1) it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Security Provider to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course or as otherwise permitted or not prohibited by the Finance Documents or (2) it would be either impossible or impractical or would unduly disrupt the business of the relevant Security Provider and, in each such event, a guarantee will not be granted and/or security will not be taken over such assets, as applicable (including, without limitation, notification of such security to any third party);
(xii)the Security Agent on behalf of each of the Lenders shall be able, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to enforce the security constituted by the security documents without any restriction from either:
(A)the constitutional documents of the relevant Security Provider;
(B)any Security Provider which is or whose assets are the subject of such security document (but subject to any inalienable statutory rights which the Security Provider may have to challenge such enforcement); or
(C)any shareholders of the foregoing not party to the relevant security document;
(xiii)guarantee limitations may mean that access to the assets of a Security Provider for its guarantee is limited, in which case, any asset security granted by that Security Provider shall be proportionate (in terms of liability) to the value of its guarantee;
(xiv)no guarantee or security shall guarantee or secure any Excluded Swap Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement);
(xv)no perfection action will be required in jurisdictions where Obligors or material assets are not located;
(xvi)local law restrictions may mean that the Lenders may not be able to benefit from the same security; and
(xvii)the Security Agent will hold one set of security for the Lenders (subject to applicable law).
(c)The Security Agent (upon request or instruction, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement) or the other Finance Parties, as the case may be, shall promptly discharge any guarantees and release any security which is or are subject to any transaction permitted by this Agreement, unless contrary to the Security Principles.
2.Guarantors and Security
(a)To the extent possible and subject to Clause 19 (Guarantee) of this Agreement and the Security Principles, each guarantee will be an upstream, cross-stream and downstream guarantee and will be for all liabilities of the Obligors under the Finance Documents in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of Clause 19 (Guarantee) of this Agreement and the Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction and the requirements of local law in each relevant jurisdiction.
(b)To the extent possible and subject to Clause 19 (Guarantee) of this Agreement and this Schedule, all security shall be given in favour of the Security Agent and not the Finance Parties individually. “Parallel
220

debt” provisions will be used where necessary; such provisions will be contained in the Intercreditor Agreement and not the individual security documents unless required under local laws. To the extent possible, there should be no action required to be taken in relation to the guarantees or security when any Lender transfers any of its participation in the Facilities to a new Lender.
(c)Security Documents will, to the extent legally possible and subject to this Schedule, incorporate the defined terms used in the Intercreditor Agreement and secure the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of the relevant Obligor to the secured parties, in each case in accordance with, and subject to, local law requirements and the requirements of this Schedule in each relevant jurisdiction and, in no circumstances, shall impose any obligation more onerous than those contained in this Agreement other than to the extent required by local law in order to create, enforce or perfect the security interest expressed to be created thereby.
(d)Where a Security Provider secures shares, the relevant security document will be governed by the laws of the company whose shares are being charged or pledged and not by the law of the country of the Security Provider.
(e)No action will be required to be taken in relation to any guarantee or security where any Lender transfers or assigns any of its participation in the Facilities. The Security Providers will not be liable for any fees, costs, taxes or expenses in relation to any re-registration, re-notarisation or other requirement for perfection or protection of security or guarantees on transfers or assignments by Finance Parties.
(f)Any security document shall only be required to be notarised or notarially certified if required by law in order for the relevant security to become effective or admissible in evidence.
3.Terms of Security Documents
The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any security taken subject to due execution of all relevant security documents, completion of all relevant formalities, the reservations or qualifications in the Finance Documents or any legal opinion referred to in Clause 20.4 (Legal Validity) and the application of the Security Principles:
(a)the Security Agent shall receive the benefit of:
(i)prior to the Asset Security Release Date, the security granted pursuant to the documents listed in Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Condition Precedent Documents); and
(ii)on or after the Asset Security Release Date, the security granted pursuant to the Security Documents over:
(A)all of the shares in the Obligors held by any member of the Borrower Group or any Obligor; and
(B)all of the rights of the relevant creditors in relation to Subordinated Shareholder Loans; and
(C)Security over loans made by any Obligor to any other member of the Borrower Group,
for the avoidance of doubt: (A) no guarantee or security shall be required to be provided by any person who is not a Security Provider and (B) security shall not be granted over any assets other than as set out in (i) and (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, security in respect of any real property);
(b)security will be first ranking, to the extent possible and subject to any security permitted under the Finance Documents;
(c)security will not be enforceable until the occurrence of an Acceleration Event (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and will be enforceable only subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (a “Declared Default”);
(d)any rights of set-off will not be exercisable until the occurrence of a Declared Default;
221

(e)notification of receivables security to debtors (other than intra-group debtors where notice will be given as soon as is reasonably practicable) will only be given if a Declared Default has occurred (subject to local law advice);
(f)subject to paragraph (g) below, representations and undertakings shall only be included in each security document to the extent they relate to the security interest or secured assets or any registration or perfection of the security unless otherwise required by local law;
(g)the provisions of each security document will not be unduly burdensome on the Security Provider (in relation to the benefit conferred) or interfere materially with the operation of its business and will be limited to those required to create effective security and will not impose commercial obligations and shall not contain additional representations and undertakings (such as in respect of insurance, maintenance of assets, information or the payment of costs) or otherwise repeat any such representations or undertakings given in this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, other than those which are strictly required as a matter of law for the creation and perfection of the security;
(h)in the security documents there will be no repetition or extension of clauses set out in this Agreement (or the Intercreditor Agreement) including, without limitation, those relating to notices, costs and expenses, default or penalty interest, indemnities, tax gross up or indemnity, distribution of proceeds and release of security; representations and undertakings shall be included in the security documents only to the extent that they are strictly required by local law for the creation and perfection of the security interest expressed to be created thereby; the security documents will not contain repeating representations;
(i)information, such as lists of assets, will be provided if, and only to the extent, that they are strictly required by local law to be provided to perfect, enforce or register the security and, when required, shall be provided no more frequently than annually or, following a Declared Default on the Security Agent’s written request;
(j)the security documents should not and will not operate so as to prevent transactions which are not prohibited under the other Finance Documents;
(k)the secured parties shall only be able to exercise a power of attorney following the occurrence of a Declared Default or if the relevant Security Provider has failed to comply with a further assurance or perfection obligation within 10 Business Days of being notified of that failure and being requested to comply (provided that in such case, the power of attorney shall be limited to remedying such failure);
(l)the Security Agent shall (and is irrevocably authorised and instructed to) promptly enter into and deliver any documentation and/or take such other action as may be required by UPC Broadband to give effect to the Security Principles;
(m)security will, where possible and practical, automatically create security over future assets of the same type as those already secured; where local law requires supplemental charges to be delivered in respect of future assets in order for effective security to be created over that class of asset, such supplemental charges shall be provided at intervals no more frequently than annually, in each case on the Security Agent’s reasonable written request; and
(n)each security document must contain a clause which records that if there is a conflict between the security document and this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement then (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the provisions of this Agreement or (as applicable) the Intercreditor Agreement will take priority over the provisions of the relevant security document.
4.Share Security
(a)Subject to the Security Principles the shares in each Obligor shall be secured.
(b)The security document will be governed by the laws of the Obligor whose shares are being secured and not by the law of the country of the Security Provider granting the security.
(c)Until a Declared Default, the Security Providers will be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares pledged by them in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the security or cause an event of default to occur and the person whose shares have been pledged will be permitted to pay dividends to each of its shareholders (including the Security Provider) and the relevant Security Provider shall be entitled to receive dividends from such person.
222

(d)Where customary the share certificate and a stock transfer form executed in blank will be provided to the Security Agent, and where required by law the share certificate or shareholders register will be endorsed or written up and the endorsed share certificate or a copy of the written up register provided to the Security Agent, in each case, within 20 Business Days following execution of any security over those shares or the registration of the acquisition of those shares that are subject to such security.
(e)Unless the restriction is required by law (or as expressly contemplated in any security document), the constitutional documents of any company the shares in which are subject to security will be amended to remove any restriction on the transfer or the registration of the transfer of the shares on enforcement of the security granted over them.
(f)The enforcement of security over shares and the acquisition or exercise by the Security Agent of voting rights in respect of shares may be subject to regulatory consent. Accordingly, enforcement of any security over shares and the exercise by the Security Agent of the voting rights in respect of such shares will be expressed to be conditional upon obtaining any consents required by law or regulation and no such consents shall be required to be sought or requested prior to a Declared Default and written request having been made by the Security Agent to UPC Broadband.
5.Receivables
(a)If a Security Provider grants security over its intercompany receivables or rights in respect of Subordinated Obligations it shall be free to deal with same in the course of its business (provided permitted or not prohibited by this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement) until notified by the Facility Agent following a Declared Default.
(b)The perfection of receivables security granted by notification will not be required until the occurrence of a Declared Default other than where such notification is required by applicable law to create security. If such notification is required by applicable law to create security, notice of the security will be served on the relevant counterparties in respect of material intercompany receivables and Subordinated Obligations within 20 Business Days of the security being granted and the Security Provider shall use its commercially reasonable endeavours (not involving the payment of money or incurrence of external expenses) to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 20 Business Days of service. If the Security Provider has used its commercially reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement or acceptance its obligation to obtain acknowledgement or acceptance shall cease on the expiry of that 20 Business Day period.
(c)Irrespective of whether notice of the security is required for perfection, if the service of notice would prevent the Security Provider from dealing with a receivable in the course of its business (provided permitted or not prohibited by this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement) no notice of security shall be served until required by the Facility Agent following a Declared Default.
6.Bank Accounts
For the avoidance of any doubt, security will not be required to be granted over bank accounts.
7.Release of Security
Unless required by local law, the circumstances in which the security shall be released should not be dealt with in individual security documents but, if so required, shall, except to the extent required by local law, be the same as those set out in the Intercreditor Agreement.
