more further Additional Facility T Accession Agreements, that specify (along
with the other terms specified therein) UPC Financing as the sole Borrower and
which specify Additional Facility T Commitments denominated in US

the last day of those Interest Periods, those Facility T Advances will be
consolidated and treated as one Facility T Advance.

Agreement and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will not violate any agreement or instrument to which UPC Holding is

(b)           it will continue to make its own
independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related

Additional Facility T Lender.
