[ON THE HEADED PAPER OF TD BANK EUROPE LIMITED AS FACILITY AGENT]
To: UPC Distribution Holding B.V. ("UPCD")
From: TD Bank Europe Limited
(acting with the approval of the Majority Lenders) as Facility Agent
30 September, 2002
Dear Sirs,
Senior secured credit facility dated 26 October, 2000 made between, inter alia,
UPCD, TD Bank Europe Limited and Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc. as Facility
Agents and the banks and financial institutions listed therein (the "Facility
Agreement")
We refer to the Facility Agreement and the letter between, inter alia, TD Bank
Europe Limited as Facility Agent and UPCD dated 1st March, 2002 (the "Original
Waiver Letter") under which the Lenders agreed to temporarily waive certain of
their rights under the Finance Documents. We also refer to the waiver extension
letters (the "Waiver Extension Letters") between the same parties dated 31st
May, 2002, 17th June, 2002, 1st July, 2002, 15th July, 2002, 29th July, 2002,
12th September, 2002 and 23rd September, 2002 under which the Lenders agreed to
extend the period for which they had agreed to temporarily waive certain of
their rights under the Finance Documents (the "Temporary Waiver") (the Original
Waiver Letter, as amended by the Waiver Extension Letters being the "Waiver
Letter"). We note that the Temporary Waiver is due to expire on 27th September,
2002.
Terms defined in the Facility Agreement or the Waiver Letter shall have the same
meaning when used in this letter, save where expressly defined otherwise.
1. Extension of Temporary Waiver of Certain Rights
UPCD has requested the Lenders to extend the Temporary Waiver for a further
period.
We confirm that the Majority Lenders agree, with effect from the Waiver
Effective Date and, subject to the terms and conditions outlined below, to
extend the Temporary Waiver until 31st March, 2003. We further confirm that the
reason the Majority Lenders have agreed to this extension is to give UPCD and
its parent companies sufficient time to complete the restructuring of the
capital structure of UPC (the "Restructuring") as described in more detail in
the restructuring agreement provided to Xxxxx & Xxxxx on 27th September, 2002
entered into between inter alia UPC, UGC and the holders of UPC's bonds (the
"Bondholders") set out in Annex A to that agreement (the "Restructuring
Agreement"). For the purposes of this letter, the Restructuring will be deemed
to be completed on the Effective Date (as defined in the Restructuring
Agreement) (the "Completion of the Restructuring").
2. Waiver in relation to the Restructuring
2.1 We confirm that the Majority Lenders agree, subject to the terms and
conditions outlined below, not to exercise their rights during the Relevant
Period (as defined in the Waiver Letter as amended by this letter) under
the Relevant Clauses of the Facility Agreement which would otherwise arise
as a result of:
(a) any Default under Clause 18.6(a), 18.7(a) or (b), 18.8 18.9 or 18.19
of the Facility Agreement; or
(b) a Default under Clause 18.10 of the Facility Agreement only to the
extent that it refers to an event specified in Clauses 18.6(a),
18.7(a) or (b), 18.8 or 18.9 of the Facility Agreement,
in each case which relates to UPC and is constituted by an event or series
of events or any, step or act which is part of the Restructuring (each such
default a "Restructuring Default").
2.2 At the end of the Relevant Period, (except in the limited circumstances
outlined in 2.3 and 2.4 below) the rights of the Finance Parties in respect
of the Relevant Clauses will revive and will be exercisable in full by the
Finance Parties.
2.3 We confirm that the Majority Lenders agree, after the Completion of the
Restructuring, subject to the terms and conditions outlined below, not to
exercise their rights under the Relevant Clauses of the Facility Agreement
which would otherwise arise as a result of any Default under:
(a) Clause 18.5(a) of the Facility Agreement which is constituted by a
Specified Event; or
(b) Clause 18.5(c) of the Facility Agreement which is constituted by an
event described in Clause 18.5(c) under the document relating to any
Financial Indebtedness of UPC, UPCD or any of their Subsidiaries which
event itself is constituted by a Specified Event,
provided that this waiver shall terminate if at any time after the
Completion of the Restructuring any of the senior notes under the
Indentures or any interest under any of the senior notes under the
Indentures is held by any entity other than UPC, Inc, UPC or any entity
which is either a direct or indirect Subsidiary of UPC, Inc or UPC.
2.4 We confirm that the Majority Lenders agree that, after Completion of the
Restructuring, any waiver granted in respect of any Restructuring Default
shall become permanent, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the
provisions of this clause 2.4 do not affect the Lenders' rights in respect
of any Default or breach of warranty or representation occurring after the
end of the Relevant Period.

(a) assets transferred under the chello technology operation asset sale
and purchase agreement dated 21st December, 2001 between, inter alia,
Chello Broadband N.V. and certain of its subsidiaries and UPCD and
certain of its subsidiaries (the "CTO Agreement") were made through a
series of intercompany transfers which gave rise to a series of
intercompany loans as consideration for such transfers;
(b) the book entries relating to such transfers (as extracted in Schedule
6) are a true and accurate record of such intercompany loans; and
(c) each of the loans by an Obligor to another member of the Borrower
Group set out in Schedule 6 was made pursuant to the relevant
Obligors' Framework Agreement (other than the loan from CNAH to
Telekabel Wien.
10. General
10.1 We refer to the intercompany loan from Cable Network Austria Holdings B.V.
("CNAH") to Telekabel Wien. This intercompany loan arose by way of
consideration for the transfer by CNAH to Telekabel Wien, with effect on or
around 21st December, 2001, of certain assets relating to the operation of
the technology operation of chello Broadband N.V. and its subsidiaries.
Under the terms of Clause 16.14(a) of the Facility Agreement, CNAH was
required to enter into a pledge of receivables prior to the creation of the
intercompany loan to Telekabel Wien. CNAH is also required to enter into an
Obligors' Framework Agreement evidencing the conditions of the debt owing
from Telekabel Wien to CNAH. Under paragraph 8.6(e) above, UPCD undertakes
to enter into this documentation by 30th November, 2002.
10.2 We confirm that the Majority Lenders agree, with effect from the Waiver
Effective Date and subject to the terms and conditions outlined below, to
waive the Event of
-9-
Default arising as a result of the delay by CNAH (described above) in
entering into a pledge of receivables and further agree that, for the
purpose only of the extension of the Temporary Waiver described above, the
definition of "Relevant Period" in the Waiver Letter shall be deemed not to
have ended as a result of such Event of Default.
10.3 We refer to the agreement (the "KTA Agreement") between Kabletelevisie
Amsterdam B.V. ("KTA") and the Municipality of Amsterdam in respect of the
construction, maintenance and operation of a cable network in the
Municipality of Amsterdam. To the extent that entry into the KTA Agreement
by KTA and/or the purported exercise by the Municipality of its right under
the KTA Agreement to take security over KTA's cable network constitutes (or
would constitute) a breach of Clause 16.7 of the Facility Agreement and,
therefore, an Event of Default under Clause 18.3(a) of the Facility
Agreement we confirm that the Majority Lenders agree that, subject to the
terms and conditions laid out in this letter any such Event of Default so
arising continues to be waived during the Relevant Period and, following
the Completion of the Restructuring shall be permanently waived.
10.4 Save as expressly amended by this letter, the terms and conditions of the
Waiver Letter and the Facility Agreement remain in full force and effect
and UPCD shall be obliged to comply with all the provisions of the Waiver
Letter and the Facility Agreement.
10.5 The terms and conditions of this letter (including without limitation the
covenants in paragraphs 8 of this letter) and the Waiver Letter shall
(except where expressly stated otherwise) continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding the termination or expiry of the Relevant Period and/or the
Completion of the Restructuring.
10.6 References in this letter to the Waiver Letter or Facility Agreement mean
the Waiver Letter as amended from time to time, including as amended by
this letter and the Facility Agreement as amended from time to time,
including as amended by the Waiver Letter and this Letter.
11. Waiver Effective Date
11.1 This letter shall take effect on the date (the "Waiver Effective Date") on
which the Facility Agent notifies UPCD and the Lenders that it has
received, in form and substance satisfactory to it (acting reasonably):
(a) evidence of the due authorisation and execution of this letter by UPCD
on behalf of itself and all other Obligors; and
(b) evidence of the fulfilment of the condition listed in Schedule 4 to
this letter.
11.2 The Facility Agent will give the notification in paragraph 11.1 above as
soon as practicable after the conditions are satisfied. If the Waiver
Effective Date has not occurred by 2nd October, 2002, (or such later date
as the Majority Lenders may agree in writing) the Majority Lender's
agreements under this letter will be automatically cancelled,
notwithstanding any subsequent satisfaction of these conditions.
-10-
12. Miscellaneous
The termination of the Waiver granted by this letter for any reason prior to the
Completion of the Restructuring will not affect the rights of the Lenders under
the Finance Documents.
UPCD enters into this letter on its own behalf and on behalf of each Obligor
pursuant to the authority under Clause 2.6 of the Facility Agreement.
UPCD hereby makes the representations and warranties in Clauses 15.2, 15.3, 15.4
and 15.5 of the Facility Agreement (on the basis that for this purpose
references in those Clauses to the Facility Agreement or the Finance Documents
shall be construed as references to the Waiver Letter and this letter).
Save as expressly provided for in this letter, this letter is not a waiver or
amendment of any term of the Waiver Letter or any of the other Finance Documents
and the Waiver Letter and the other Finance Documents (as amended by the Waiver
Letter and this letter) remain in full force and effect.
