	(a)		a committed €750,000,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility under which the relevant Lenders will, when requested by UPC Broadband, make cash advances in euros or Optional Currencies to UPC Broadband on a revolving basis during the Facility A Availability Period;
	(b)		a committed €2,750,000,000 term loan facility under which the relevant Lenders will, when requested by UPC Broadband, make cash advances in euros or Optional Currencies to UPC Broadband during the Facility B Availability Period; and
	(c)		a committed US$347,500,000 and €95,000,000 term loan facility under which the relevant Lenders will, when requested by the relevant Borrower, make cash advances in euros (in the case of UPC Broadband) or US Dollars (in the case of the US Borrower) (as applicable) to the relevant Borrower during the Facility C Availability Period,

in each case subject to the terms of this Agreement.

2.2		Overall facility limits
(a)		The aggregate Original Euro Amount of all outstanding Facility A Advances shall not at any time exceed the Total Facility A Commitments.
(b)		The aggregate Original Euro Amount of all outstanding Facility B Advances shall not at any time exceed the Total Facility B Commitments.

(c) (i)   The aggregate amount of all outstanding Facility C1 Advances shall not at any time exceed the aggregate of the Facility C1 Commitments;

(ii) The aggregate amount of all outstanding Facility C2 Advances shall not at any time exceed the aggregate of the Facility C2 Commitments.

(d) The aggregate Original Euro Amount of:

(i) the participations of a Lender in Facility A Advances shall not at any time exceed that Lender’s Facility A Commitment at that time; and

34

(ii) the participations of a Lender in Facility B Advances shall not at any time exceed that Lender’s Facility B Commitment at that time.

(e) (i)   The aggregate amount of the participations of a Lender in Facility C1 Advances shall not at any time exceed that Lender’s Facility C1 Commitment at that time; and

(ii) The aggregate amount of the participations of a Lender in Facility C2 Advances shall not at any time exceed that Lender’s Facility C2 Commitment at that time.

2.3		Number of Requests and Advances
(a)		Unless the Facility Agent agrees otherwise, no more than one Request for Advances may be delivered on any one day but that Request may, subject to paragraph (b) below, specify any number of Advances from any Facility or all of them.
(b)		Unless the Facility Agent agrees otherwise, no more than 50 Advances may be outstanding at any one time.
(c)		No more than one Request may be made for Facility C Advances under this Agreement.
2.4		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 Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Security Document or the Security Deed as contemplated by the Finance Documents (or to do any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing).

35

2.5		UPC Broadband as Obligors’ agent
		Each Obligor:

	(a)		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
	(b)		confirms that it will be bound by any action taken by UPC Broadband under or in connection with the Finance Documents.

2.6		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.

3.		PURPOSE
3.1		Purpose

	(ii)		in the case of Facility B, to refinance in part the Financial Indebtedness described in Schedule 9 (Relevant Financial Indebtedness) and to finance capital expenditure and the making of acquisitions by the Borrower Group; and

36

3.2		Lender’s declarations and representations as Professional Market Party
(a)		Each Lender under a Facility made available to a Dutch Borrower makes the following declarations and representations to those relevant Dutch Borrowers:

	(i)		it is a Professional Market Party; and
	(ii)		it acknowledges that as a consequence it has no benefit from the (creditor) protection under the Dutch Banking Act for non-Professional Market Parties.

(b)		Each declaration and representation set out in paragraph (a) above is made by each relevant Lender on the 2006 Amendment Effective Date and on each date that this Agreement is amended, restated or supplemented.
(c)		If on the date on which a Dutch Borrower accedes to this Agreement, it is a requirement under Dutch law that a Lender needs to be qualified as a Professional Market Party in respect of Advances to be made to that Dutch Borrower, each then current Lender under a Facility to which that Dutch Borrower is a Borrower shall make the declaration and representation set out under paragraph (a) above to such Dutch Borrower.
3.3		No monitoring
		Without affecting the obligations of the Borrowers in any way, no Finance Party is bound to monitor or verify the application of the proceeds of any Advance.
4.		CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
4.1		Documentary conditions precedent
		No Borrower may draw an Advance under this Agreement until the Facility Agent has notified UPC Broadband and the Lenders that it has received all of the documents set out in Part 1 of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent Documents) in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent will confirm to UPC Broadband that it has received such documents as soon as practicable upon receiving all of them in form and substance satisfactory to it.
4.2		Further conditions precedent
		The obligations of each Lender in respect of each Advance are subject to the further conditions precedent that on the date of the Request for that Advance and on the proposed Utilisation Date:

	(a)		except in the case of a Rollover Advance, the representations and warranties in Clause 15 (Representations and Warranties) to be repeated on those dates are and will be immediately after the relevant Advance is drawn down correct in all material respects; and
	(b)		in the case of a Rollover Advance, no Event of Default is outstanding or would result from the proposed Advance and, in the case of other Advances, no Default is outstanding or would result from the proposed Advance; and
	(c)		except in the case of a Rollover Advance, no Change of Control has occurred where the event has not been waived by the Majority Lenders.

37

4.3		Pro forma covenant compliance
		No Borrower may Request or obtain any Advance in an amount which, when aggregated with all other Advances (other than Rollover Advances) (and all Advances (in each case as defined in the New Facility Agreement) (the Relevant Advances) made since the last day of the most recent Ratio Period ending prior to the proposed date of that Advance for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Clause 4.1 (Documentary conditions precedent) or Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information) (the Relevant Ratio Period) would cause UPC Broadband to fail to be in compliance with the financial ratios set out in Clause 17.2 (Financial ratios) for the Relevant Ratio Period, if such financial ratios were re-tested for the Relevant Ratio Period after adding the aggregate amount of all such Relevant Advances to the amount of Senior Debt and Total Debt used in calculating such ratios.
4.4		Deferred Acquisition Costs
		Where a member of the Borrower Group has made an Acquisition permitted by Clause 16.11 (Acquisitions and mergers), no Borrower may Request, or apply the proceeds of, any Advance for the purpose of paying any consideration referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition of “Acquisition Cost” in relation to that Acquisition, unless UPC Broadband delivers to the Facility Agent on or before the date of each relevant Request:

	(a)		where the Acquisition Cost of the acquisition was greater than €100,000,000 and no more than €150,000,000, a certificate signed by two managing directors or the sole managing director, as the case may be, of UPC Broadband and certifying; or
	(b)		where the Acquisition Cost of the acquisition was greater than €150,000,000, financial projections based on assumptions which are no more aggressive (when taken as a whole) than those used in the preparation of the Business Plan which demonstrate,

that the Borrowers will be in compliance with Clause 6 (Repayment) and the undertakings set out in Clause 17 below (Financial Covenants) for the period from the Utilisation Date of such Advance (taking into account (i) the Acquisition Cost of such acquisition (but deducting from that Acquisition Cost the value of any consideration referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition of “Acquisition Cost” which has yet to be paid or delivered), (ii) the amount of such Advance and (iii) financial projections relating to the acquired business or asset(s)) to the last Final Repayment Date.

6.4		Adjustment of Facility B Advances
(a)		For each Facility B Advance in an Optional Currency, there shall be calculated the difference between the amount of the relevant Advance (in that Optional Currency) for the current Interest Period and for the next Interest Period. The amount of the Facility B Advance for the next Interest Period will be determined by notionally converting into that Optional Currency the Original Euro Amount of the Facility B Advance on the basis of the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange three Business Days before the commencement of that Interest Period.
(b)		At the end of the current Interest Period (but subject always to paragraph (c) below):

	(i)		if the amount of the Facility B Advance for the next Interest Period is less than for the preceding Interest Period, UPC Broadband shall repay the difference; or
	(ii)		if the amount of the Facility B Advance for the next Interest Period is greater, each Lender shall forthwith make available to the Facility Agent for UPC Broadband its participation in the difference.

(c) If the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange for the next Interest Period shows an appreciation or depreciation of the Optional Currency against euros of less than five per cent. when compared with the Original Exchange Rate, no amounts are payable in respect of the difference. In this Clause 6, Original Exchange Rate means the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange used for determining the amount of the Optional Currency for the Interest Period which is the later of the following:

	(i)		the first Interest Period of the relevant Advance; and
	(ii)		the most recent Interest Period immediately prior to which a difference was required to be paid under this Clause 6.4.

6.5		Prepayments and repayments
		If a Facility B Advance is to be repaid or prepaid by reference to an Original Euro Amount, the Optional Currency amount to be repaid or prepaid shall be determined by reference to the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange used for determining the Optional Currency amount of that Facility B Advance under Clause 5.4(c) (Participations in Advances) or, if applicable, the Original Exchange Rate.

42

(c)		The Margin for Facility A Advances and Facility B Advances will be adjusted (upwards or downwards) to the percentage rates per annum set out in column (1) below set opposite the range set out in column (2) below into which the ratio of Senior Debt to Annualised EBITDA, as shown in the Margin Notice, falls:

		(1)		(2)

(a)		UPC Broadband may cure a breach of the financial ratios set out in Clause 17.2(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) (Financial ratios) by procuring that additional equity is injected into the Borrower Group by one or more Restricted Persons and/or additional Subordinated Shareholder Loans are provided to the Borrower Group in an aggregate amount equal to:

99

	(i)		in the case of a breach of Clause 17.2(a) or (e) (Financial ratios), the amount which, if it had been deducted from Senior Debt or Total Debt (as applicable) for the Ratio Period in respect of which the breach arose, would have avoided the breach; or
	(ii)		in the case of a breach of Clause 17.2(b), (c) or (d) (Financial ratios), 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)		in the case of a breach of more than one paragraph of Clause 17.2 (Financial ratios), the higher of the relevant amount referred to in (i) or (ii) above.

(b) A cure under paragraph (a) above will not be effective unless:

	(i)		the required amount of additional equity or the proceeds of Subordinated Shareholder Loans is received by the Borrower Group before delivery of the financial statements delivered under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information) which show that Clause 17.2 (Financial ratios) has been breached; and
	(ii)		in the case of a cure of Clause 17.2(a) or (e) (Financial ratios), the proceeds of the relevant additional equity or Subordinated Shareholder Loans are applied in full in or towards repayment or prepayment of Facility A Advances in accordance with Clause 7 (Cancellation and Prepayment) and, to the extent of any surplus after such repayment or prepayment, for the purposes of the Permitted Business.

(c) No cure may be made under this Clause 17.4:

	(i)		in respect of more than five Ratio Periods during the life of the Facilities; or
	(ii)		in respect of consecutive Ratio Periods.

(d) Where a cure is exercised under this Clause 17.4 in respect of a breach of Clause 17.2(b), (c) or (d) (Financial ratios) and the next Ratio Period ends approximately three months after the Ratio Period in respect of which the cure was made, EBITDA in respect of that next Ratio Period will be deemed, for the purposes of Clause 17.2(b), (c) and (d) (Financial ratios), to be increased by the amount determined under subparagraph 17.4(a)(ii) above in respect of the relevant cure. This deemed increase will not be treated as a separate cure.

17.5		Determinations
(a)		Any amount outstanding in a currency other than euros is to be taken into account at its euro equivalent calculated at the rate used in the latest accounts delivered to the Facility Agent.
(b)		All the terms used above are to be calculated in accordance with the GAAP on which the preparation of the Original Borrower Group Financial Statements was based.

100

	(ii)		unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Facility Agent (acting upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders), if the change(s) would have such an effect, containing a reconciliation demonstrating the effect of the change(s) (and, for the purpose of calculating the ratios set out in Clause 17.2 (Financial ratios), such financial statements will be treated as though adjusted by that reconciliation so as to exclude the effect of the changes).

(a)		Each Lender and Lead Arranger irrevocably appoints each Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the Finance Documents.
(b)		Each Finance Party appointing each Agent irrevocably authorises each Agent on its behalf to:

	(i)		perform the duties and to exercise the rights, powers and discretions that are specifically delegated to it under or in connection with the Finance Documents, together with any other incidental rights, powers and discretions; and
	(ii)		execute each Finance Document expressed to be executed by the Facility Agent on that Finance Party’s behalf.

(c) Each Agent shall have only those duties which are expressly specified in this Agreement. Those duties are solely of a mechanical and administrative nature.

		Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Lead Arranger has any obligations of any kind to any other Party under or in connection with any Finance Document.

19.3		Relationship
		The relationship between each Agent and the other Finance Parties is that of agent and principal only. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes either Agent as trustee or fiduciary for

107

any other Party or any other person and neither Agent need hold in trust any moneys paid to it for a Party save as provided in the Finance Documents or be liable to account for interest on those moneys.

19.4		Majority Lenders’ directions
(a)		Each Agent will be fully protected if it acts in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders in connection with the exercise of any right, power or discretion or any matter not expressly provided for in the Finance Documents. Any such instructions given by the Majority Lenders will be binding on all the Lenders. In the absence of such instructions each Agent may act as it considers to be in the best interests of all the Lenders.
(b)		No Agent is authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without first obtaining that Lender’s consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Finance Document.

19.5		Delegation
		Each Agent may act under the Finance Documents through its personnel and agents.

	(a)		the execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of any Finance Document or any other document by any other Party;
	(b)		the collectability of amounts payable under any Finance Document;
	(c)		the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document (including the Information Memorandum) by any other Party; or
	(d)		the integrity or security of any Finance Document or other document or information posted or distributed electronically on any intranet based system (or similar) in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the Finance Documents or the syndication or administration of the Facilities.

19.7		Default
(a)		Neither Agent is obliged to monitor or enquire as to whether or not a Default has occurred. Neither Agent will be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default. However, if an Agent receives notice from a Party referring to this Agreement, describing the Default and stating that the event is a Default, it shall promptly notify the Lenders of such notice.
(b)		Each Agent may require the receipt of security satisfactory to it whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise, against any liability or loss which it will or may incur in taking any proceedings or action arising out of or in connection with any Finance Document before it commences these proceedings or takes that action.
19.8		Exoneration
(a)		Without limiting paragraph (b) below, neither Agent will be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

108

(b)		No Party may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of either Agent in respect of any claim it might have against that Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any kind (including negligence or wilful misconduct) by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document.
(c)		Any officer, employee or agent of either Agent may rely on this Clause 19.8 and enforce its terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000.

19.9		Reliance
		Each Agent may:

	(a)		rely on any notice or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by, or with the authority of, the proper person;
	(b)		rely on any statement made by a director or employee of any person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or within his power to verify; and
	(c)		engage, pay for and rely on legal or other professional advisers selected by it (including those in the Facility Agent’s employment and those representing a Party other than the Facility Agent).

19.10		Credit approval and appraisal
		Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms that it:

	(a)		has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by either Agent or the Lead Arrangers in connection with any Finance Document; and
	(b)		will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities while any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

19.11		Information
(a)		Each Agent shall promptly forward to the person concerned the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to that Agent by a Party for that person.
(b)		Except where this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither Agent is obliged to review or check the accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.
(c)		Except as provided above, neither Agent has a duty:

	(i)		either initially or on a continuing basis to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the financial condition or affairs of any Obligor or any related entity of any Obligor whether coming into its possession or that of any of its related entities before, on or after the Signing Date; or
	(ii)		unless specifically requested to do so by a Lender in accordance with this Agreement, to request any certificates or other documents from any Obligor.

109

19.12		Each Agent and the Lead Arrangers individually
(a)		If it is also a Lender, each of the Facility Agent, the Security Agent and the Lead Arrangers has the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise those rights and powers as though it were not the Facility Agent, Security Agent or (as applicable) a Lead Arranger.
(b)		Each of the Agents and the Lead Arrangers may:

	(i)		carry on any business with an Obligor or its related entities;
	(ii)		act as agent or trustee for, or in relation to any financing involving, an Obligor or its related entities; and
	(iii)		retain any profits or remuneration in connection with its activities under the Finance Documents, or in relation to any of the foregoing.

19.13		Indemnities
		Each Lender shall indemnify each Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the relevant Agent (otherwise than by reason of the relevant Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the relevant Agent has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document). Such indemnification shall be pro rata to its Commitments (and for the purposes of calculating this proportion, the amount of the Total Facility C Commitments and each Lender’s Facility C Commitments shall be converted to euros at the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of the relevant calculation).

19.14		Compliance
(a)		Each Agent may refrain from doing anything which might, in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person, and may do anything which, in its reasonable opinion, is necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation of any jurisdiction.
(b)		Without limiting paragraph (a) above, neither Agent need disclose any information relating to any Obligor or any of its related entities if the disclosure might, in the opinion of the relevant Agent, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or any duty of secrecy or confidentiality or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person.

19.15		Resignation of Agents
(a)		Notwithstanding its irrevocable appointment (but subject to paragraphs (f) and (g) below), each Agent may resign by giving notice to the Lenders and UPC Broadband, in which case the relevant Agent may, following consultation with and with the consent of UPC Broadband (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) forthwith appoint one of its Affiliates as successor Agent or, failing that, the Majority Lenders may with the consent of UPC Broadband (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a reputable and experienced bank as successor Agent. The resignation of the Security Agent is subject to compliance with clause 9.1 (Retirement of Security Agent) of the Security Deed.
(b)		If the appointment of a successor Agent is to be made by the Majority Lenders but they have not, within 30 days after notice of resignation, appointed a successor Agent which accepts the

110

		appointment, the retiring Agent may, following consultation with and with the consent of UPC Broadband (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Agent.
(c)		The resignation of the retiring Agent and the appointment of any successor Agent will both become effective only upon the successor Agent notifying all the Parties that it accepts the appointment. On giving the notification and receiving such approval, the successor Agent will succeed to the position of the retiring Facility Agent and the term Facility Agent or Security Agent (as the case may be) will mean the successor Facility Agent or Security Agent, respectively.
(d)		The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as the Agent under this Agreement.
(e)		Upon its resignation becoming effective, this Clause 19 shall continue to benefit the retiring Agent in respect of any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with the Finance Documents while it was the relevant Agent and, subject to paragraph (d) above, it shall have no further obligation under any Finance Document.
(f)		The Majority Lenders may by notice to an Agent require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above. In this event, the relevant Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above but it shall not be entitled to appoint one of its Affiliates as successor Agent.
(g)		UPC Broadband may, if it is unsatisfied (acting reasonably) with the performance by an Agent of its role as Agent, following a period of consultation with the relevant Agent of not less than 14 days, by notice to that Agent require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above. Such notice must specify the reasons for which UPC Broadband is seeking the Agent’s resignation, which must be based on reasonable grounds. In this event, the relevant Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above but it shall not be entitled to appoint one of its Affiliates as successor Agent.

19.16		Lenders
(a)		Each Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to payments under this Agreement and as acting through its Facility Office(s) until it has received notice from the Lender to the contrary by not less than five Business Days prior to the relevant payment.
(b)		Each Lender, on the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, represents to the Facility Agent that it is:

(i) either:

	(A)		not resident in the United Kingdom for United Kingdom Tax purposes; or
	(B)		a “bank” as defined in section 840A of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 and resident in the United Kingdom; and

(ii) beneficially entitled to the interest payable by the Facility Agent to it under this Agreement,

and shall forthwith notify the Facility Agent if either representation ceases to be correct.

111

(c)		Each Facility A Lender, (if it is a requirement of Dutch law that such Facility A Lender is a Professional Market Party) represents to the Finance Parties and UPC Broadband on the Effective Date that it is a Professional Market Party. Such Lender acknowledges that the Finance Parties and UPC Broadband have relied upon such representation.
(d)		Each Facility A Lender shall provide the Facility Agent with a duly completed and signed Verification Letter by the date falling 30 days after the Effective Date. If such Facility A Lender fails to provide such Verification Letter it shall, within ten Business Days of demand, indemnify each Obligor and each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability incurred by that Obligor or Finance Party as a result of its representation in paragraph (c) above being incorrect or its failure to comply with its undertaking in this paragraph (d).

19.17		Separate divisions
		In acting as an Agent or Lead Arranger, the agency and syndication’s division of each of the Agents and the Lead Arrangers shall be treated as a separate entity from its other divisions and departments. Any information acquired at any time by either Agent or any Lead Arranger otherwise than in the capacity of Agent or Lead Arranger through its agency and syndication’s division (whether as financial adviser to any member of the Borrower Group or otherwise) may be treated as confidential by the relevant Agent or Lead Arranger and shall not be deemed to be information possessed by the relevant Agent or Lead Arranger in its capacity as such. Each Finance Party acknowledges that each Agent and the Lead Arrangers may, now or in the future, be in possession of, or provided with, information relating to the Obligors which has not or will not be provided to the other Finance Parties. Each Finance Party agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Agent nor any Lead Arranger will be under any obligation to provide, or be under any liability for failure to provide, any such information to the other Finance Parties.

	(ii)		if an Existing Lender is both a Facility B Lender and holds undrawn commitments under New Facility D and that Existing Lender assigns, transfers or novates any of its rights and/or obligations in respect of Facility B to a New Lender that Existing Lender shall also assign transfer or novate its undrawn commitments under New Facility D, in accordance with clause 26.3 (Transfers to Lenders) and clause 26.3 (Procedure for novation) of the New Facility Agreement to the extent necessary to ensure that it and the New Lender (to the extent it is or becomes a lender under New Facility D) are and remain in compliance with clause 26.2(a)(ii) of the New Facility Agreement.

(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 Clause 26.2(a)), provided that:

(i) UPC Broadband’s consent must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

118

	(ii)		the consent of UPC Broadband to an assignment, transfer or novation must not be withheld solely because the assignment, novation or transfer may result in an increase to the Mandatory Cost;
	(iii)		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 outstanding;
	(iv)		nothing in this Clause 26.2 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)		A transfer of obligations will be effective only if the obligations are novated in accordance with Clause 26.3 (Procedure for novations).
(d)		If, on the date of an assignment, transfer or novation of rights and/or obligations, it is a requirement of Dutch law that each Lender must be a Professional Market Party, then on the date that such assignment, transfer or novation becomes effective, the New Lender must make the declaration and representation on the terms set out in paragraph 2 of the Novation Certificate.
(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 (in relation to Facility A, Facility B or Facility C1) or US$3,500 (in relation to Facility C2); provided that, in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a Lender under Facility C2 to more than one fund managed by the same investment adviser (which funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single such US$3,500 fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments.
(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:

	(i)		it has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities 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;
	(ii)		it will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities while any amount is or may be outstanding under this Agreement or any Facility A Commitment, Facility B Commitment or Facility C Commitment is in force; and

119

(iii) where such New Lender is a Lender under a Facility to which a Dutch Borrower is a Borrower it is a Professional Market Party and that it is aware that it therefore does not benefit from the (creditor) protection under the Dutch Banking Act for non-Professional Market Parties.

(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 26; 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 Facility A Commitment (if any), Facility B Commitment (if any), and Facility C Commitment (if any) has 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 10 (Tax Gross-up and Indemnities) or amounts becoming due under Clause 12 (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)		Any Facility C Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Facility C Lender as a party hereto.
	26.3		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 5 (Novation Certificate), with, for the purposes of primary syndication of the Facilities or to facilitate novations of Facility C2 Advances (and Facility C2 Commitments, if applicable), such amendments as the Facility Agent approves to achieve a substantially similar effect; 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 26.2 (Transfers by Lenders).
(c)		To the extent that they are expressed to be the subject of the novation in the Novation Certificate:

120

	(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;
	(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 Security Deed 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 Security Deed as would have been acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an original party to the Security Deed 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; and (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 9.3 (Distribution). Once such Accrued Interest has been made available to the Existing Lender in accordance with Clause 9.3 (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 9.3 (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.

121

26.4 Additional Guarantors

	(a)		(i) Subject to paragraph (b) below, a Subsidiary of UPC Broadband may become an Additional Guarantor by delivering to the Facility Agent a Guarantor Accession Agreement, duly executed by that company.
	(ii)		A person which (a) becomes the immediate Holding Company of UPC Broadband or (b) becomes an Additional Obligor under the New Facility Agreement shall, prior to or contemporaneously with becoming such Holding Company or Additional Obligor (as applicable), become an Additional Guarantor by delivering to the Facility Agent a Guarantor Accession Agreement, duly executed by that company.
	(iii)		Upon execution and delivery of a Guarantor Accession Agreement and delivery of the documents specified in sub-paragraph (iv) below, the relevant Subsidiary or person referred to in sub-paragraph (i) or (ii) above will become an Additional Guarantor.
	(iv)		UPC Broadband shall procure that, at the same time as a Guarantor Accession Agreement is delivered to the Facility Agent, there is also delivered to the Facility Agent all those documents listed in Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent Documents), in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).
	(v)		The Guarantor Accession Agreement referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above may, with the prior written approval of the Facility Agent, include a limitation of the obligations or liabilities of the relevant Additional Guarantor under Clause 14 (Guarantee) where such limitation is required by any applicable law.

(b) UPC Broadband shall:

(i) procure that at all times the value of the aggregate EBITDA, total assets and total revenues of:

	(A)		the Guarantors as of the Effective Date (other than, UPC Broadband, any UPC Broadband Holdco, UPC Holding and UPC Holding II) and their respective Subsidiaries (as calculated by reference to the relevant financial statements most recently provided under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information)); and
	(B)		any Additional Guarantors which have become Guarantors since the Effective Date and their respective Subsidiaries (as calculated by reference to the relevant financial statements most recently provided under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information) or, if no such financial statements have been provided in respect of such Additional Guarantors, as calculated by reference to the financial statements referred to in paragraph 11 of Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent Documents) provided under Clause 26.4(a)(iii) (Additional Guarantors) in respect of each Additional Guarantor),

is equal to or greater than 95 per cent. of the Borrower Group’s consolidated EBITDA (as calculated by reference to the relevant financial statements most recently provided under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information) but, for the avoidance of doubt, deducting any corporate costs or allocations paid or payable by a member of the Borrower Group to one of its Affiliates pursuant to any general services

122

arrangement), if necessary by procuring that additional Subsidiaries of UPC Broadband become Additional Guarantors; and

(ii) consult with the Facility Agent prior to any entity becoming an Additional Guarantor in order to ensure that no material adverse change would or be reasonably likely to occur, as a result of such entity becoming an Additional Guarantor, in the consolidated financial position of the Borrower Group (taken as a whole) which would or be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)		UPC Broadband represents and warrants to the Finance Parties that it is in compliance with paragraph (b) above as of the Effective Date (all relevant calculations being made by reference to the financial statements most recently provided under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial Information).
(d)		After the Effective Date, UPC Broadband shall be in compliance with its obligations under paragraph (b) above if it procures that any of its Subsidiaries which are required to become Additional Guarantors do so within 60 days after the delivery to the Facility Agent of any financial statements delivered under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information) which demonstrate that additional Subsidiaries of UPC Broadband are required to be become Additional Guarantors under paragraph (b).
(e)		The execution of a Guarantor Accession Agreement constitutes confirmation by the relevant Additional Guarantor that the relevant representations and warranties set out in Clause 15 (Representations and Warranties) to be made by it on the date of the Guarantor Accession Agreement are correct, as if made with reference to the facts and circumstances then existing.
26.5		Reference Banks

(b)		UPC Broadband and the Facility Agent may agree to add one or more additional Reference Bank(s) from among the Lenders.
26.6		Register
		The Facility Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Clause 32.2(b) (Addresses for notices) a copy of each Novation Certificate delivered to and accepted by it and a register of the names and addresses all the Parties including, in the case of Lenders, their Commitments under each Facility, the principal amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to each Lender from time to time and the details of their Facility Office notified to the Facility Agent from time to time, and shall supply any other Party (at that Party’s expense) with a copy of the register on request. The entries in such register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Obligors, the Facility Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
27.		DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
27.1		Any Lender may disclose to any of its Affiliates and any other person:

(a) to (or through) whom that Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;

123

	(b)		with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor; or
	(c)		to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation,
	any information about any Obligor, the Borrower Group and the Finance Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate (acting reasonably) if, in relation to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking.

27.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Party to this Agreement (and any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, professional advisers, or other agents) may (and has since the commencement of discussions with respect to the Facility been permitted to) disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind:

	(a)		the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure (each as defined below) of the Facility; and
	(b)		all material of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure,

except to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with applicable federal or state securities laws.

For the purposes of this subsection, the U.S. tax treatment of the Facility is the purported or claimed U.S. federal, state and local income tax treatment of the Facility, and the U.S. tax structure of the Facility is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal, state and local income tax treatment of the Facility. This authorisation is not intended to permit disclosure of any information (other than information relating to US tax treatment or US tax structure of the Facility) including (without limitation) (i) any portion of any materials to the extent not related to the U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure of the Facility, (ii) the identities of participants or potential participants in the Facility (except to the extent such identities are related to the tax treatment or the U.S. tax structure of the Facility), (iii) the existence or status of any negotiations, (iv) any pricing or financial information (except to the extent such pricing or financial information is related to the U.S. tax treatment or the U.S. tax structure of the Facility), or (v) any other term or detail not relevant to the U.S. tax treatment or the U.S. tax structure of the Facility.

28.		SET-OFF
28.1		Contractual set-off
		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.

124

28.2		Set-off not mandatory
		No Finance Party shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by Clause 28.1 (Contractual set-off).
28.3		Notice of set-off
		Any Finance Party exercising its rights under Clause 28.1 (Contractual set-off) shall notify the relevant Obligor promptly after set-off is applied.
29.		PRO RATA SHARING
29.1		Redistribution
		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 9 (Payments) (a recovery), then:

	(a)		the recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the recovery to the Facility Agent;
	(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 9 (Payments);
	(c)		subject to Clause 29.3 (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 9 (Payments) and shall pay the redistribution to the Finance Parties (other than the recovering Finance Party) in accordance with Clause 9.7 (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.

29.2		Reversal of redistribution
		If under Clause 29.1 (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 29.1(e) (Redistribution) will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

125

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 29.2.

29.3		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 29.1(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.
30.		SEVERABILITY
		If a provision of any Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect:

	(a)		the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of the Finance Documents; or
	(b)		the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other provision of the Finance Documents.

SCHEDULE 3

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

1. The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, the arithmetic mean (rounded up, if necessary, to four decimal places) of the respective rates notified by each Reference Bank to the Facility Agent at its request as the rate resulting from the application of the formulae set out in paragraphs 3 and 4 below (the Additional Cost Rate).

3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Facility Agent as follows:

(a) in relation to a Sterling Advance:

		AB+C(B-D)+Ex0.01
		100-(A-C)		per cent. per annum

(b) in relation to an Advance in any currency other than sterling:

		Ex0.01
		300		per cent. per annum.

Where:

	A		is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Reference Bank is from time to time required to maintain as an interest-free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements;
	B		is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost) and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in Clause 8.8(a)(Default interest) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Advance;
	C		is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Reference Bank is required from time to time to maintain as interest-bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England;
	D		is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Facility Agent on interest-bearing Special Deposits;

142

E is designed to compensate the Reference Banks for amounts payable under the Fees Rules (but, for this purpose, ignoring any minimum fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules) and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average for the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5. For the purposes of this Schedule:

	(a)		Eligible Liabilities and Special Deposits have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
	(b)		Fees Rules means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
	(c)		Fee Tariffs means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate; and
	(d)		Tariff Base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

7. If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Facility Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which its becomes a Lender:

	(a)		the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and
	(b)		any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a

143

typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

10. The Facility Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Reference Bank pursuant to paragraph 3 above is true and correct in all respects.

11. The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Costs to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12. Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

13. The Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with UPC Broadband and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

PART 2

FORM OF LSTA CONFIDENTIALITY UNDERTAKING

Master Confidentiality Agreement dated as of [           ] (this Agreement) between [Existing Lender] (the Existing Lender) and [New Lender] (the New Lender).

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that will apply, in each instance, to the treatment of certain non-public information that the Existing Lender may supply to the New Lender in connection with the consideration by the New Lender of its participating in any financing or proposed financing (a Financing) for any borrower or group of borrowers (each a Borrower) specified in a Schedule described below.

As used herein: (a) Evaluation Material refers to (i) the non-public information furnished to the Existing Lender, including any Information Memorandum, in respect of a particular Financing of a Borrower that the Existing Lender supplies to the New Lender on or after the date of the Schedule in respect of such Financing, (ii) all memoranda, notes, and other documents and analyses (collectively, analyses) internally developed by the Existing Lender that it supplies to the New Lender and (iii) all analyses developed by the New Lender using any information specified under clauses (i) and (ii) above; (b) Internal Evaluation Material refers to analyses specified under clause (iii) of the definition of Evaluation Material; and (c) participation refers to a transfer of a lender’s interest in a Financing (or a grant of derivative rights in respect thereof), whether by assignment, participation or otherwise (and participate and participating shall have correlative meanings thereto).

As a condition to the Existing Lender’s furnishing the New Lender with any Evaluation Material in the Existing Lender’s possession in respect of a particular Financing, the New Lender shall execute and return to the Existing Lender a schedule, in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, that the Existing Lender may have completed, executed and delivered to it (a Schedule). Each Schedule shall identify the Existing Lender and the New Lender in respect of such Financing and the related Evaluation Material, the name of each Borrower that the New Lender has under consideration and a description of the documentation (the Operative Documentation) in respect thereof.

The New Lender in respect of a particular Financing agrees that it will use all Evaluation Material in respect of such Financing solely for the purpose of evaluating its possible participation, or obtaining the participation of another eligible person (an Additional Assignee), in such Financing and that the New Lender will use reasonable precautions in accordance with its established procedures to keep such information confidential; provided, however, that any such information may be disclosed to the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, auditors, affiliates, advisors and representatives (collectively, Representatives) of the New Lender’s institution who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating its participation in such Financing (it being understood that such Representatives shall be informed by the New Lender of the confidential nature of such information and shall be directed by it to treat such information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and to any Additional Assignee and its Representatives (provided that such Additional Assignee shall have previously executed and delivered to the New Lender an agreement in substantially the same substance as this Agreement in respect of the Evaluation Material). The New Lender agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement that results from the actions or omissions of its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New Lender will not use such information to obtain an Additional Assignee if otherwise prohibited by agreements binding on the New Lender.

In addition, the New Lender in respect of a particular Financing agrees that prior to the settlement of its participation in such Financing, it will not disclose to any person, other than its Representatives, the identity of the Existing Lender with which discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning

156

the New Lender’s possible participation in the related Financing or any of the terms or conditions of such proposed participation. The term person as used in this Agreement shall be broadly interpreted to include the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity and, if the New Lender’s participation in the Financing would constitute a secondary market transaction, the Borrower.

The New Lender in respect of a particular Financing shall be permitted to disclose any related Evaluation Material (and the fact that such Evaluation Material has been made available to it and that discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning the transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto) in the event that the New Lender is required by law or regulation or requested by any governmental agency or other regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory organization having or claiming to have jurisdiction) or in connection with any legal proceedings. The New Lender agrees that it will notify the Existing Lender as soon as practical in the event of any such disclosure (other than as a result of an examination by any regulatory agency), unless such notification shall be prohibited by applicable law or legal process.

The New Lender in respect of a particular Financing and its Representatives shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to any information in any related Evaluation Material to the extent that such information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the New Lender in violation of this Agreement, (ii) was within the New Lender’s possession prior to its being furnished to it pursuant hereto, provided that the source of such information was not known by the New Lender to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower or any other party with respect to such information or (iii) is or becomes available to the New Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or the Existing Lender, or their respective Representatives, provided that such source is not known by the New Lender to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Existing Lender, the Borrower or any other party with respect to such information.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter, any party to this letter (and any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, professional advisers, or other agents) may and has since the commencement of discussions with respect to the Facility been permitted to disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind:

(a) the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure (each as defined below) of the Facility; and

(b) all material of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure,

except to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with applicable federal or state securities laws.

For the purposes of this subsection, the U.S. tax treatment of the Facility is the purported or claimed U.S. federal, state and local income tax treatment of the Facility, and the U.S. tax structure of the Facility is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal, state and local income tax treatment of the Facility. This authorisation is not intended to permit disclosure of any information (other than information relating to U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure of the Facility) including (without limitation) (i) any portion of any materials to the extent not related to the U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure of the Facility, (ii) the identities of participants or potential participants in the Facility (except to the extent such identities are related to the tax treatment or the U.S. tax structure of the Facility), (iii) the existence or status of any negotiations, (iv) any pricing or financial information (except to the extent such pricing or financial information is related to the U.S. tax treatment or the U.S. tax structure of the Facility), or (v) any other term or detail not relevant to the U.S. tax treatment or the U.S. tax structure of the Facility.

157

To the extent the Operative Documentation for a particular Financing contains provisions regarding the use of non-public information which conflict with, are more restrictive than or are in addition to the provisions of this Agreement, then (so long as such Operative Documentation shall be effective as to the Existing Lender) solely with application to any Evaluation Material concerning the Borrower that is the subject of such Financing (and without application hereunder to any other Evaluation Material or otherwise), such provisions of the Operative Documentation shall be incorporated herein by this reference and shall supersede and control the terms of this Agreement to the extent that such provisions are in conflict with or more restrictive than the terms hereof or are in addition to those contained herein. Upon the New Lender’s request, the Existing Lender will furnish to the New Lender the provisions of the Operative Documentation for such Financing regarding the use of non-public information. In addition, in the event that the New Lender actually becomes a lender (bound as a party to the Operative Documentation) with respect to a particular Financing, the application of this Agreement in respect of all Evaluation Material in respect of such Financing shall terminate and the applicable confidentiality provisions, if any, contained in the Operative Documentation shall govern and control.

If the New Lender in respect of a particular Financing chooses not to participate in such Financing, the New Lender agrees on request of the Existing Lender to return to the Existing Lender as soon as practical all related Evaluation Material (other than Internal Evaluation Material) or destroy such Evaluation Material (other than Internal Evaluation Material) without retaining any copies thereof unless prohibited from doing so by its internal policies and procedures.

The New Lender in respect of a particular Financing understands and agrees that the Existing Lender will have received the related Evaluation Material from third party sources (including the Borrower) and that the Existing Lender bears no responsibility (and shall not be liable) for the accuracy or completeness (or lack thereof) of such Evaluation Material or any information contained therein.

The New Lender hereby acknowledges that United States securities laws prohibit any person with material, non-public information about an issuer from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other person. The New Lender agrees to comply with its internal compliance policies and procedures with respect to material confidential information.

The New Lender agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for breach of this Agreement, and that in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the Existing Lender shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, without proof of actual damages.

This Agreement (including each Schedule delivered pursuant hereto and the provisions of any Operative Documentation incorporated herein by reference) embodies the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to all Evaluation Material for each Financing and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements relating thereto. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties hereto, the application of this Agreement shall terminate with respect to all Evaluation Material concerning each Financing on the date falling one year after the Schedule in respect of such Financing.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law (except Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligation Law to the extent that it mandates that the law of the State of New York govern).

This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute the same instrument.

158

It is understood by the parties that the custom in the loan syndications and loan trading markets is to execute and deliver any confidentiality agreement, schedule, confirmation or other transaction documents by telecopy or telefax. The parties agree that all telecopied or telefaxed copies of this Agreement, the Schedules, confirmations and other transaction documents, and signatures hereto and thereto, shall be duplicate originals.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective authorized officers as of the date first written above.

4.3		Powers of Security Agent
		In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Agent Security Documents and in relation to the Trust Property, the Security Agent shall, without prejudice to any of the powers, discretions and immunities conferred upon trustees by law (and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Deed or any of the other Security Agent Security Documents), have all the same powers and discretions as a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Agent by this Deed and/or any other Security Agent Security Document Provided that the Security Agent may only exercise such powers and discretions to the extent that the Security Agent is authorised so to exercise the same in accordance with the provisions of this Deed, the Agreement and the relevant Security Agent Security Document (including specifically, but without limitation, Clause 5.2 (Duty to act as directed) of this Deed) and, in exercising such powers and discretions, the Security Agent shall have regard to and comply with any applicable constraints and/or restrictions imposed by this Deed.
4.4		Power to invest
		It is expressly declared that, in its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Agent Security Documents, the Security Agent shall be entitled to invest moneys forming part of the Trust Property and which, in the opinion of the Security Agent, may not be paid out promptly following receipt in the name or under the control of the Security Agent in any of the investments for the time being authorised by law for the investment by trustees of trust moneys or in any other property or investments whether similar to the aforesaid or not or by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Agent as the Security Agent may think fit without being under any duty to diversify its investments and the Security Agent may at any time vary or transpose any such property or investments for or into any others of a like nature and shall not be responsible for any loss due to depreciation in value or otherwise of such property or investments except in the case of fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Security Agent. Any investment of any part or all of the Trust Property may, at the discretion of the Security Agent, be made or retained in the names of nominees.
4.5		Power to engage agents
		The Security Agent may in the conduct of its obligations under and in respect of the Security Agent Security Documents (otherwise than in relation to its right to make any declaration, determination or decision), instead of acting personally, employ and pay any agent to transact or concur in transacting any business and to do or concur in doing any acts required to be done by the Security Agent (including the receipt and payment of money). Any such agent engaged in any profession or business shall be entitled to be paid all usual professional and other charges for business transacted and acts done by him or any partner or employee of his in connection with such trusts. The Security Agent shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such agent if the Security Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such agent.
4.6		Power to appoint new trustees
		Without prejudice to Clause 10 (Effect of this Deed as regards the Charging Entities), the statutory power to appoint new or additional trustees of the trusts constituted by this Deed shall be vested in the Security Agent.

14

4.7		Power to appoint additional trustees
		With the prior consent of the Instructing Party, the Security Agent shall have power, by notice in writing given to the Facility Agent, to appoint any person either to act as separate trustee or as co-trustee jointly with the Security Agent:

	(a)		if the Security Agent considers such appointment to be in the interests of the Beneficiaries; or
	(b)		for the purpose of conforming with any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed; or
	(c)		for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction against any person of a judgment already obtained,

and any person so appointed shall (subject to the provisions of this Deed) have such rights (including as to reasonable remuneration) and such trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Security Agent by this Deed) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Security Agent shall have power to remove any person so appointed. At the request of the Security Agent, the other parties to this Deed shall forthwith execute all such documents and do all such things as may be required to perfect such appointment or removal and each such party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to do the same. The Security Agent shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such person if the Security Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such person.

4.8		Co-trustees to act by majority decision
		If there ever shall be more than two trustees having equal authority under this Deed the majority of such trustees shall be competent to execute and exercise all the duties, powers, trusts, authorities and discretions vested by this Deed in the Security Agent generally.
4.9		Conflicts of law; consent of Beneficiaries to amendments to trusts
		It is agreed between all parties to this Deed that:

	(a)		in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognise or give effect to the trusts expressed to be constituted by this Deed, the relationship of the Security Agent to the other Beneficiaries shall be construed simply as one of agent and principal or as otherwise provided in Clause 5.3 (Security Agent as joint and several creditor) but, to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of each and every such jurisdiction, this Deed shall have full force and effect as between the parties; and
	(b)		any of the provisions of this Clause 4 or of Clause 6 (Application of Proceeds), 7 (Restrictions and Limitations on and Exclusions of the Duties and Responsibilities of the Security Agent) or 8 (No Restriction on or Liability to Account for Other Transactions) may be amended by agreement between the Security Agent and the other Beneficiaries without the consent of any other party to this Deed so long as such amendments do not impose additional obligations on the Charging Entities and each such other party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to execute all documents necessary to effect any such amendment.

15

5.		ENFORCEMENT OF AND OTHER ACTION UNDER THE SECURITY AGENT SECURITY DOCUMENTS
5.1		All action through the Security Agent
		None of the Beneficiaries shall have any independent power to enforce any of the Security Agent Security Documents or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to any of the Security Agent Security Documents or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by any of the Security Agent Security Documents except through the Security Agent.
5.2		Duty to act as directed
		Subject as provided in Clause 3.1 (Duty to act on instructions from the Instructing Party), the Security Agent shall take such action (including, without limitation, the exercise of all rights, discretions or powers and the granting of consents or releases) or, as the case may be, refrain from taking such action under or pursuant to the Security Agent Security Documents as the Instructing Party shall specifically direct the Security Agent in writing from time to time. Unless and until the Security Agent shall have received such directions, the Security Agent shall not take any action under the Security Agent Security Documents provided that it may (but in the absence of such directions shall not be obliged to) take such action permitted under the terms of the Security Agent Security Documents as it reasonably believes necessary or appropriate to protect the interests of the Beneficiaries under the Security Agent Security Documents but the Charging Entities shall not be concerned with whether the Security Agent shall be acting in accordance with these provisions and shall be conclusively entitled to assume that the Security Agent has all the necessary right, title and authority.
5.3		Security Agent as joint and several creditor
		Each Charging Entity and each of the Beneficiaries agrees that the Security Agent shall be the joint and several creditor (“hoofdelijk crediteur”) of each and every obligation of each Charging Entity towards each of the Beneficiaries under each Finance Document, the Senior Hedging Agreements and the High Yield Hedging Agreements and that accordingly the Security Agent will have its own independent claim as creditor and not as agent against each Charging Entity to demand performance of those obligations, provided that it is expressly acknowledged that any discharge of its payment obligations to either of the Security Agent or the relevant Beneficiary shall to the same extent discharge the corresponding obligations owing to the other.
5.4		Security Agent’s rights as joint and several creditor
		Without limiting or affecting the Security Agent’s rights against the Charging Entities (whether under this clause or under any other provision of the Finance Documents) the Security Agent agrees with each Beneficiary that it will not exercise its rights as a joint and several creditor with a Beneficiary under Clause 5.3 (Security Agent as joint and several creditor) except with the prior written consent of the relevant Beneficiary. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Security Agent’s rights to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Security Agent Security Document as contemplated by the Finance Documents. Any amount recovered by the Security Agent as a result of the operation of this clause shall be held for the benefit of the Beneficiaries to be applied in accordance with Clause 6.2 (Order of application on enforcement).

16

5.5		Security Agent and Dutch Security
		Subject to the provisions of this Clause, the Security Agent shall obtain any Security provided under or pursuant to a Security Document governed by Dutch law (the Dutch Security) in its own name. The Security Agent shall have full and unrestricted entitlement to and authority in respect of the Dutch Security, provided that it shall be under an obligation to exercise such rights (and obligations) in accordance with the contractual undertakings set out in this Deed including but not limited to Clause 5.3 (Security Agent as joint and several creditor).
6.		APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
6.1		Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application
		The Beneficiaries shall co-operate with each other and with the Security Agent in realising the Secured Assets and in ensuring that the net proceeds realised under the Security Agent Security Documents after deduction of the expenses of realisation are applied in accordance with Clause 6.2 (Order of application on enforcement).
6.2		Order of application on enforcement
		All moneys received by the Security Agent and/or any other moneys otherwise received by it pursuant to any of the Security Agent Security Documents shall be applied, after the discharge of the remuneration and expenses of all liabilities having priority to the Secured Obligations, in the order set out below except that the Security Agent may credit the same to a suspense account (bearing interest at a commercially competitive rate according to the currency, amount and period of deposit of such moneys) for so long and in such manner as the Security Agent may from time to time determine, save that if the amounts standing to the credit of the suspense account are at least equal to the Secured Obligations such amounts must be promptly applied in or towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. The monies received by the Security Agent shall be applied as follows:

	(a)		FIRST, as to a sum equivalent to the aggregate of the Security Agent Indebtedness for the First Beneficiary absolutely.
	(b)		SECONDLY, as to a sum equivalent to the sum of the aggregate of (i) the Senior Indebtedness, (ii) the Total Senior Hedging Exposures and (iii) the Total High Yield Hedging Exposures to the Second Beneficiaries absolutely (and shall pay (A) to the Senior Beneficiaries in the order set out in clause 9.7 (Partial payments) of the Agreement a sum equivalent to the proportion that the Senior Indebtedness bears to the aggregate of the Senior Indebtedness, the Total Senior Hedging Exposures and the Total High Yield Hedging Exposures; (B) to each Senior Hedging Bank a sum equivalent to the proportion that the Senior Hedging Exposure owing to such Senior Hedging Bank bears to the aggregate of the Senior Indebtedness, the Total Senior Hedging Exposures and the Total High Yield Hedging Exposures; and (C) to each High Yield Hedging Bank a sum equivalent to the proportion that the High Yield Hedging Exposure owing to such High Yield Hedging Bank bears to the aggregate of the Senior Indebtedness, the Total Senior Hedging Exposures and the Total High Yield Hedging Exposures provided that applications made by the Security Agent pursuant to paragraph (C) of this Clause 6.2(b) shall not exceed €100,000,000 in aggregate and to the extent that any such applications would cause such limit to be exceeded the amount payable to each High Yield Hedging Bank shall be reduced proportionately).
			If, following application by the Security Agent of amounts in accordance with this paragraph (b), (x) any amounts received by the Security Agent have not been applied to reduce Total High Yield Hedging Exposure owing to High Yield Hedging Banks as a result of the proviso to subparagraph (C) above and (y) the Changeover Date or the Senior Hedge

17

Discharge Date (or both) have not occurred, the Security Agent shall apply any such excess amounts in accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) above (but disregarding the Total High Yield Hedging Exposure for this purpose only).

	(c)		THIRDLY, subject to each of the Changeover Date and the Senior Hedge Discharge Date having occurred, to each High Yield Hedging Bank a sum equivalent to the proportion that the outstanding High Yield Hedging Exposure of such High Yield Hedging Bank bears to the outstanding High Yield Hedging Exposure of all the High Yield Hedging Banks.
	(d)		FOURTHLY, subject to the High Yield Hedging Discharge Date having occurred, as to the balance for the relevant Charging Entity or whoever else is entitled to such balance absolutely.

Distributions pursuant to this Clause 6.2 shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by the Security Agent of the sums being distributed.

6.3		Security Agent to rely on Beneficiaries
		In considering at any time (and from time to time) the persons entitled to the benefit of any of the Secured Obligations, the Security Agent may (without prejudice to Clause 7.4 (Limit on Security Agent’s responsibility)), rely and act in reliance upon any information from time to time furnished to the Security Agent by the Beneficiaries (whether pursuant to Clause 7.4 (Limit on Security Agent’s responsibility) or otherwise) unless and until the same is superseded by further such information, so that the Security Agent shall have no liability or responsibility to any party as a consequence of placing reliance on and acting in reliance upon any such information unless the Security Agent has actual knowledge that such information is inaccurate or incorrect.
6.4		Information to be provided to the Security Agent
		Without prejudice to Clause 6.3 (Security Agent to rely on Beneficiaries), each Beneficiary (whether directly or through the Facility Agent) or, if applicable, the 2004 Facility Agent shall provide the Security Agent with all necessary directions in writing so as to apply the proceeds of realisation of the security constituted by the Security Agent Security Documents as contemplated by this Deed and such other information as it may reasonably require for the purpose of carrying out its duties and obligations under the Security Agent Security Documents provided that each Beneficiary or, if applicable, the 2004 Facility Agent is not obliged to disclose such other information where, in its reasonable opinion, to do so would materially and adversely prejudice its affairs.
6.5		Waivers by the Charging Entities
		Each Charging Entity hereby unconditionally waives any right it may have, whether at law or otherwise, to require demands to be made under the Finance Documents or for the security or any guarantee created by the Finance Documents to be enforced or realised in any specific order or manner or to require the proceeds thereof to be appropriated in any specific order or manner.
6.6		Security Agent’s duty of care
		Nothing in this Deed shall in any case where the Security Agent has failed to show the degree of care and diligence required of it as a trustee having regard to the provisions of the Security Agent Security Documents exempt the Security Agent from or indemnify it against any liability for breach of trust or any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise attach to it in respect of any fraud, gross negligence, wilful default, gross breach of duty or gross breach of trust of which it may be guilty in relation to its duties under any of the Security Agent Security Documents.

7.1		No liability
		The Security Agent shall not:

	(a)		be obliged to make any enquiry as to any default by any Charging Entity in the performance or observance of any provision of any of the Security Agent Security Documents or as to whether any event or circumstance has occurred as a result of which the security constituted by any of the Security Agent Security Documents shall have or may become enforceable; or
	(b)		be liable to any of the Beneficiaries for any action taken or omitted under or in connection with any of the Security Agent Security Documents unless caused by its fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

7.2		Limited duty to notify
		The Security Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any of the Beneficiaries or the 2004 Facility Agent with any information with respect to any Charging Entity whenever coming into its possession other than as provided in Clauses 2.4 (Amendments to Security Agent Security Documents) and 3.3 (Duty to notify).
7.3		Indemnity from Security Agent Security Documents
		The Security Agent and every agent or other person appointed by it in connection with its appointment under this Deed shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the proceeds of enforcement of the Security Agent Security Documents and/or the Trust Property in respect of all liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses whatsoever properly incurred or suffered by it:

	(a)		in the execution or exercise or bona fide purported execution or exercise of the trusts, rights, powers, authorities, discretions and duties created or conferred by or pursuant to the Security Agent Security Documents; and/or
	(b)		in respect of any matter or thing done or omitted or in any way relating to the Trust Property or the provisions of any of the Security Agent Security Documents.

		The Security Agent shall not have any responsibility to any Beneficiary (a) to ascertain whether all deeds and documents which should have been deposited with it under or pursuant to any Security Agent Security Document have been so deposited or (b) to investigate or make any enquiry into the title of any Charging Entity to the Secured Assets or any part thereof or (c) for the failure, omission or defect in perfecting or registering any Security Agent Security Document in accordance with the

19

		requirements of any applicable law or regulation (other than as a result of gross negligence on the part of the Security Agent) or (d) for the failure, omission or defect in perfecting or registering any Security Agent Security Document in accordance with the provisions of the documents of title of any Charging Entity to any of the Secured Assets (other than as a result of gross negligence on the part of the Security Agent) or (e) for acting (or, as the case may be, refraining from acting) in accordance with the directions of any of the Beneficiaries, the 2004 Facility Agent or the 2004 Lenders (as the case may be) given pursuant to this Deed.
7.5		Reliance on communications and professional advice
		The Security Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct unless notified to the contrary and to have been signed or sent by the proper person and shall be entitled to rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it.
7.6		Retention of deeds and documents; power to grant access
		The Security Agent shall not (save where the Security Agent has a pledge of shares) be under any obligation to hold any Security Agent Security Documents or any other document in connection with the Security Agent Security Documents or the Secured Assets (including title deeds) in its own possession or to take steps to protect or preserve the same. The Security Agent shall be entitled (a) to permit any Beneficiary to retain any Security Agent Security Documents or other documents in its possession; or (b) to place all deeds, certificates and other documents relating to the Secured Assets deposited with it under or pursuant to the Security Agent Security Documents or any of them in any safe deposit, safe or receptacle selected by the Security Agent or with any solicitor or firm of solicitors and may make any such arrangements as it thinks fit for allowing the Charging Entity concerned access to, or its solicitors or auditors possession of, such documents when necessary or convenient and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for any loss incurred in connection with any such deposit, access or possession.
7.7		Unlawful actions
		The Security Agent may refrain from doing anything which would, or might in its opinion, be contrary to any law of any jurisdiction or any directive, regulation or regulatory requirement of any State (or any agency thereof) or which would or might render it liable to any person and may do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive, regulation or regulatory requirement.
7.8		Indemnity by Beneficiaries
		Prior to the Changeover Date each Lender shall reimburse the Security Agent (rateably in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment) and on or after the Changeover Date, each Senior Hedging Bank and each High Yield Hedging Bank shall reimburse the Security Agent (rateably in accordance with the proportion that its Senior Hedging Exposure or, as the case may be, High Yield Hedging Exposure, bears to the aggregate of the Total Senior Hedging Exposure and the Total High Yield Hedging Exposure) in either case to the extent that the Security Agent is not reimbursed by the Charging Entities in respect of all liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses referred to in Clause 7.3 (Indemnity from Security Agent Security Documents).

20

8.		NO RESTRICTION ON OR LIABILITY TO ACCOUNT FOR OTHER TRANSACTIONS
8.1		Rights as a Beneficiary

8.3		Separate capacities
		Notwithstanding that the Facility Agent, the 2004 Facility Agent and the Security Agent may from time to time be the same entity, the Facility Agent, the 2004 Facility Agent and Security Agent have entered into this Deed in their separate capacities. Provided that where this Deed provides for the Facility Agent or the 2004 Facility Agent to communicate with or provide instructions to the Security Agent, while the Facility Agent, the 2004 Facility Agent and the Security Agent are the same entity, it will not be necessary for there to be any such formal communication or instructions notwithstanding that this Deed provides in certain cases for the same to be in writing.

No such retirement shall take effect unless there has been appointed by the Relevant Lenders as a successor security agent:

9.2		Effective Date
		The retirement of the Security Agent and the appointment of the successor agent shall take effect (subject to compliance with the provisions of Clause 9.1 (Retirement of Security Agent)) upon the signing by the Security Agent and the successor agent of all deeds and other documents and the performing of all other acts necessary for the transfer of all the Security Agent’s title to and interest in the Secured Assets (other than any interest accruing to the Security Agent by virtue of the Security Agent being a Second Beneficiary) to the successor agent, such title and interest to be held by the successor trustee on the same trusts and on the same terms as if the successor agent had been a party to this Deed in place of the retiring Security Agent.
9.3		Transfer by the Lenders
		Each party to this Deed agrees and acknowledges that (a) the Lenders may transfer their respective rights, liabilities and obligations under this Deed in accordance with the provisions of Clause 26 (Changes to the Parties) of the Agreement and (b) if a Lender transfers all of its commitment, rights and obligations under the Agreement it shall cease to be a Beneficiary in its capacity as a Lender but if at such time it is also a Senior Hedging Bank and/or a High Yield Hedging Bank it shall continue to be a Beneficiary in such capacity.
9.4		References to Lenders following a transfer
		If any Lender transfers all or any of its rights and obligations as provided in Clause 9.3 (Transfer by the Lenders) all relevant references in the Security Agent Security Documents to such Lender shall thereafter be construed as a reference to such Lender and/or a New Lender (as such term is defined in Clause 26.2 of the Agreement) to the extent of their respective rights and/or obligations and, in the case of a transfer of all or part of such Lender’s rights or obligations, the other parties to the Security Agent Security Documents shall thereafter look only to the New Lender in respect of that proportion

22

Each party to this Deed agrees and acknowledges that a Senior Hedging Bank may assign or transfer all or any of its rights, liabilities or obligations under this Deed, provided that:

	(a)		such assignment or transfer is contemporaneous with and to the same person as an assignment or transfer by the relevant Senior Hedging Bank of its corresponding rights and/or obligations in respect of the relevant Senior Hedging Agreements (as the case may be); and
	(b)		such assignment or transfer shall be conditional upon the relevant assignee or transferee having executed a Senior Hedging Bank’s Deed of Accession by which such assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by and comply with the obligations incumbent upon the relevant Senior Hedging Bank under this Deed and the Security Agent Security Documents as if it had been a party to this Deed in place of the Senior Hedging Bank; and
	(c)		such assignment or transfer is contemporaneous with an assignment or transfer by the relevant Senior Hedging Bank of its corresponding rights and obligations under the New Security Deed.

	(b)		any such assignment or transfer shall be conditional upon the relevant assignee or transferee having executed a High Yield Hedging Bank’s Deed of Accession by which such assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by and comply with the obligations incumbent upon the relevant High Yield Hedging Bank under this Deed and the Security Agent Security Documents as if it had been a party to this Deed in place of the High Yield Hedging Bank; and
	(c)		such assignment or transfer is contemporaneous with an assignment or transfer by the relevant High Yield Hedging Bank of its corresponding rights and obligations under the New Security Deed.

The Security Agent may deem and treat such assignee or transferee as a High Yield Hedging Bank (as the case may be) for all purposes of this Deed and the Security Agent Security Documents after the conditions set out in this Clause 9.8 have been satisfied.

9.9		Discharge of retiring Facility Agent
		Upon any successor to the Facility Agent being appointed pursuant to Clause 19.15 (Resignation of Agents) of the Agreement and conditional upon the successor agent (the New Facility Agent) executing and delivering a Facility Agent’s Deed of Accession, the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further obligations under this Deed and the New Facility Agent and each of the other parties to this Deed shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if the New Facility Agent had been a party to this Deed in place of the retiring Facility Agent.
9.10		Deeds of Accession
(a)		Each party to this Deed shall be fully entitled to rely on any Deed of Accession and any related documents that may be required under Clause 9.2 (Effective Date) delivered to the Security Agent in connection with this Deed which is complete and regular on its face as regards its contents and purportedly signed on behalf of the new Facility Agent, Security Agent, Senior Hedging Bank, High Yield Hedging Bank or new Charging Entity, as appropriate.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that close out netting within and among any Senior Hedging Agreements is not prohibited.

	(b)		a Senior Hedging Bank may terminate a Senior Hedging Agreement upon the earliest of:

(i) the last day on which a payment of principal is due to be made under the New Facility Agreement in respect of any Additional Facility in relation to which that Senior Hedging Agreement provides interest rate or currency hedging protection from time to time;

25

	(ii)		an acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the New Facility Agreement, following consultation with (but without being required to obtain the consent of) the security agent under the New Facility Agreement; or
	(iii)		the date on which the 2004 Lenders have been repaid in full in respect of any Additional Facility in relation to which that Senior Hedging Agreement provides interest rate or currency hedging protection from time to time and the Additional Facility Commitment in respect of such Additional Facility has been reduced to zero; or

	(c)		following the repudiation of any such Senior Hedging Agreements by the relevant Senior Hedging Counterparty; or
	(d)		upon:

	(i)		it becoming contrary to any law or regulation for the relevant Senior Hedging Counterparty or such Senior Hedging Bank to perform the payment obligations expressed to be assumed by it in respect of such Senior Hedging Agreements or such obligations becoming invalid or unenforceable against the relevant Senior Hedging Counterparty; or
	(ii)		any provision of such Senior Hedging Agreements relating to the termination thereof (including, without limitation, the calculation of or obligation to pay amounts upon such termination) becoming invalid or unenforceable against the relevant Senior Hedging Counterparty; or

	(e)		an order being made either for the administration or winding-up of the relevant Senior Hedging Counterparty or there occurs in relation to the relevant Senior Hedging Counterparty in any country or territory in which it carries on business any event which corresponds with either event or has similar or equivalent effects to either event; or
	(f)		with the prior written consent of:

	(i)		the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders); and

11.3		Proceeds of termination of Senior Hedging Agreements
		Each Senior Hedging Bank and each Charging Entity which is a party to any Senior Hedging Agreement agrees that:

26

(b) promptly after the Facility Agent takes any action as is referred to in Clause 18.22 (Acceleration) of the Agreement or the 2004 Facility Agent takes any action as referred to in clause 18.22 (Acceleration) of the New Facility Agreement or the non-payment of any amount due under the Agreement or the New Facility Agreement on the last day on which a payment of principal is due to be made under the Agreement or the New Facility Agreement (as applicable), each Senior Hedging Bank:

	(i)		shall exercise any and all rights it may have to terminate and close out all Senior Hedging Agreements to which it is a party, unless the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) and the 2004 Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the 2004 Majority Lenders) otherwise agrees; and
	(ii)		shall not enter into any new Senior Hedging Agreements without the consent of the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) and the 2004 Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the 2004 Majority Lenders); and

12.		HIGH YIELD HEDGING AGREEMENTS
12.1		High Yield Hedging Agreements
		Each of the High Yield Hedging Banks agrees that any High Yield Hedging Agreements to which it is a party governing the terms of a hedging transaction will provide for “two way payments” in the event of a termination of that hedging transaction entered into under such High Yield Hedging Agreements howsoever caused, meaning that the defaulting party under those High Yield Hedging Agreements will be entitled to receive payment under the relevant termination provisions if the net replacement value of all terminated transactions effected under the High Yield Hedging Agreements is in its favour. The parties hereto agree that close out netting within and among any High Yield Hedging Agreements and/or within and among any High Yield Hedging Agreements and any other interest rate or currency hedging arrangements is not prohibited.
12.2		Copies of High Yield Hedging Agreements
		Each High Yield Hedging Bank undertakes to provide the Security Agent with a copy of each document constituting the High Yield Hedging Agreements to which it is a party and each amendment, supplement or variation to it upon it becoming a party to this Deed or upon the execution of the same, if later and promptly following the giving thereof a copy of any notice of the termination of any High Yield Hedging Agreements.

		Each High Yield Hedging Bank and each Senior Hedging Bank undertakes to the Charging Entities that if the Beneficiaries request the release of the security created by the Security Agent Security Documents either after the Changeover Date or in connection with a refinancing of the Agreement, they will negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing replacement arrangements providing them with equivalent security (taking into account the reduced amount of the Secured Obligations) to that

27

		which was available to them under the Security Agent Security Documents prior to the Changeover Date or such refinancing (as the case may be) and will instruct the Security Agent to release the Security Agent Security Documents on such replacement arrangement coming into effect.

13.3		Provisions severable
		Each of the provisions of this Deed is severable and distinct from the others and if any one or more of such provisions is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Deed shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
