| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt) that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of

|2.5 | Nature of rights and obligations
|--- | --------------------------------



| | (a) | The obligations of a Finance Party and each Obligor under the Finance Documents are several. Failure of a Finance Party or an Obligor to carry out those obligations does not relieve any other Party of its obligations

| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (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.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2.6 | Vodafone as Obligors agent
|--- | ---------------------------

Each Obligor:

| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | confirms that it will be bound by any action taken by Vodafone under or in connection with the Finance Documents.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2.7 | Actions of Vodafone 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 Vodafone; or
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Vodafone 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 Vodafone to inform any Obligor of receipt by it of any notification under this Agreement.

| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Upon the relevant financial institution or other entity becoming an Additional Lender, the Total Commitments shall be increased (subject to the Total
Commitments being a maximum
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | of 7,500,000,000 and the Combined Commitments being a maximum of 7,500,000,000 plus US$7,500,000,000 (or its equivalent in euros calculated at the Agents Spot Rate of Exchange))
by the amount set out in the relevant Lender Accession Agreement as that Additional Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment. If such Additional Lender so provides in the relevant Lender Accession Agreement, the Swingline Total Commitments shall be
increased (subject to the Combined Swingline Commitments being a maximum of 2,550,000,000 plus US$7,500,000,000 (or its equivalent in euros calculated at the Agents Spot Rate of Exchange)) by the amount set out in the relevant Lender
Accession Agreement as that Additional Lenders Swingline Commitment.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Each Additional Lender will participate only in Advances with a Drawdown Date following the date on which it became an Additional Lender and only then if:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | it has become an Additional Lender in time to receive sufficient notice of the relevant Advance from the Agent pursuant to Clause 5.5 (Notification of the Lenders); and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | immediately before such an Advance is to be made either (A) no Advances are or will be outstanding or (B) all outstanding Advances at that time are or will be immediately repaid or prepaid in full in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swingline Advance in accordance with Clause 5.4 (Amount of each Lenders participation in an Advance).
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | The execution by Vodafone of a Lender Accession Agreement constitutes confirmation by each Guarantor that its obligations under Clause 15 (Guarantee) shall continue unaffected except that those obligations shall extend
to the Total Commitments as increased by the addition of the relevant Additional Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment (including such Additional Lenders Swingline Commitment but without double counting) and shall be owed to each Finance
Party including the relevant Additional Lender.

reimbursement obligation was made and shall accrue default interest under Clause 9.3 (Default interest) accordingly. The obligations of each Lender under this paragraph (b) are unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence or
continuance of a Default.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7.3 | Separate Loans
|--- | --------------



| | (a) | At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in the Facilities then outstanding will be automatically extended to the earlier of:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | the first Business Day falling 364 days after the date on which the Agent or a Borrower gives notice to the Defaulting Lender and the other Parties that the relevant Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, and will be
treated as separate Facilities (the Separate Loans) denominated in the currency in which the relevant participations are outstanding; and
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | the last day of the Availability Period.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------



| | (b) | A Borrower to whom a Separate Loan is outstanding may prepay that Separate Loan by giving 10 Business Days prior notice to the Agent. The Agent will forward a copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance
with this paragraph (b) to the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Interest in respect of a Separate Loan will accrue for successive Terms selected by a Borrower by the time and date specified by the Agent acting reasonably and will be payable by that Borrower to the Defaulting Lender
on the last day of each Term of that Advance.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | The terms of this Agreement relating to the Facilities generally shall continue to apply to Separate Loans other than to the extent inconsistent with paragraphs (a) to (c) above (inclusive) in which case those
paragraphs shall prevail in respect of any Separate Loans.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | If at any time while a Separate Loan is outstanding the Borrower transfers the relevant Defaulting Lenders outstanding participations to a Replacement Lender in accordance with Clause 27.5 (Replacement of
Lenders), each Separate Loan transferred to the Replacement
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

Lender will automatically become, on the last day of the current Term for each such Separate
Loan, a Revolving Credit Advance and paragraphs (a) to (c) above (inclusive) shall cease to apply to that Advance while such Replacement Lender is not a Defaulting Lender.



|8. | PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION
|-- | ---------------------------



|8.1 | Automatic cancellation of Total Commitments
|--- | -------------------------------------------



| | (a) | The Revolving Credit Commitments of each Lender shall be automatically cancelled at the close of business in London on the Final Maturity Date.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | The Swingline Commitment of each Swingline Lender shall be automatically cancelled at the close of business in London on the Final Maturity Date.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.2 | Voluntary cancellation
|--- | ----------------------



| | (a) | Vodafone may by giving not less than one Business Days prior written notice to the Agent, cancel the unutilised portion of the Total Commitments in whole or in part (but, if in part, in an aggregate minimum amount
of 75,000,000) in such proportions as Vodafone may designate in the notice of cancellation. Any cancellation in part shall be applied against the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender pro rata.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Whenever part of the Total Commitments is cancelled, the Swingline Commitments will not be cancelled unless (i) the amount of the Swingline Total Commitments would exceed the Total Commitments after such
cancellation or (ii) the Swingline Commitment of any Swingline Lender would exceed its Commitment after such cancellation. In any such case, the Swingline Total Commitments shall, at the same time as the cancellation of the Total Commitments
takes effect, be cancelled by such amount as is necessary to ensure that after the relevant cancellation of the Total Commitments the Swingline Total Commitments do not exceed the Total Commitments and the Swingline Commitment of each Swingline
Lender does not exceed its Commitment.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.3 | Voluntary prepayment
|--- | --------------------



| | (a) | Any Borrower may by giving not less than five Business Days prior written notice to the Agent, prepay the whole or any part of the Revolving Credit Advances (but, if in part, in an aggregate minimum Original Euro
Amount, taking all prepayments made by all the Borrowers on the same day together, of 100,000,000).
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Any Borrower may prepay the whole of any Swingline Advance at any time.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Any voluntary prepayment in part made under paragraph (a) above will be applied against all the Revolving Advances pro rata (or against such Revolving Credit Advances as Vodafone (or the relevant Borrower) may
designate in the notice of prepayment).
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.4 | Change of Control
|--- | -----------------

If control of Vodafone (other than as a result of a Hive Up) or,
following a Hive Up, NewTopco, passes to any person acting either individually or in concert (a Change of Control):



| | (a) | Vodafone shall, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, notify the Agent who shall inform the Lenders;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | any Lender may, if it determines that as a result of the Change of Control:
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | (i) | the level of its exposure to Vodafone, NewTopco and/or the entity which acquires control of Vodafone or NewTopco, as the case may be is unacceptably high in each case in the sole opinion of the Lender; or
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | it no longer wishes (in its sole discretion and acting in good faith) to continue lending to Vodafone or NewTopco, as the case may be (whether for relationship, internal policy or any other reason);
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

propose to Vodafone (through the Agent) the revised terms (if any) which it requires in order to continue to participate in the Facilities;
and



| | (c) | if those revised terms have not been agreed with that Lender (or that Lender is not prepared, for one or more of the reasons set out in paragraph (b)(i) or (ii) above, to continue on any terms) within 30 days of
the date of notification in paragraph (a) above (or such longer period as that Lender may agree in writing) then on expiry of 30 days from the date of notification in paragraph (a) above that Lender may by notice to the Agent (which shall
promptly inform Vodafone) cancel the whole (but not part only) of such Lenders Commitments and following service of such notice:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | such Lenders Commitments shall be cancelled on the date of service of the notice or as specified in it; and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | all such Lenders outstanding Advances shall be repaid or prepaid on the last day of the then current Term applicable thereto, and no amount may be outstanding to such Lender thereafter.
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the purposes of this Clause 8.4, control has the meaning given to it in relation to a body corporate by
Section 1124 of the Taxes Act.



|8.5 | Right of prepayment and cancellation
|--- | ------------------------------------

If:



| | (a) | any Borrower is required to pay or is notified by any Lender in writing that it will be required to pay any amount to a Lender under Clause 11 (Taxes) or Clause 13 (Increased Costs); or
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | if circumstances exist such that a Borrower will be required to pay any amount to a Lender under Clause 11 (Taxes) or Clause 13 (Increased Costs),
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vodafone may serve a notice of prepayment and cancellation on that Lender through the Agent. On the date falling five Business Days after the
date of service of the notice:



| | (i) | each Borrower will prepay the participations of that Lender in all outstanding Advances made to that Borrower; and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | the Lenders Commitments shall be permanently cancelled on the date of service of the notice.
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, Vodafone may, at any time whilst the Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender, give the Agent 5 Business Days notice of cancellation of each Available Commitment of
that Lender.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | On the notice referred to in paragraph (d) above becoming effective, each Available Commitment of the Defaulting Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | (e) | The Agent shall as soon as practicable after receipt of a notice referred to in paragraph (e) above, notify all the Lenders.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.6 | Miscellaneous provisions
|--- | ------------------------



| | (a) | Any notice of prepayment and/or cancellation under this Agreement is irrevocable. The Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly of receipt of any such notice.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | All prepayments under this Agreement shall be made together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of that prepayment (including, but not limited to, any
amounts payable under Clause 24.2(c) (Other indemnities) if not made on the Maturity Date of the relevant Revolving Credit Advance or Swingline Advance).
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | No prepayment or cancellation is permitted except in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|9. | INTEREST
|-- | --------



|9.1 | Interest rate for all Advances
|--- | ------------------------------



| | (a) | The rate of interest on each Advance (other than any Swingline Advance) for its Term, is the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be the aggregate of:
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | the applicable Margin; and
| | --- | --------------------------



| | (ii) | EURIBOR or, in the case of an Advance denominated in any Optional Currency, LIBOR.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | The rate of interest on each Swingline Advance for each day during its Term is the rate per annum determined by the Euro Swingline Agent to be the Swingline Rate for that day.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Subject to paragraph (d) below, if EONIA is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks rates for a day, and a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 18.00 (Brussels time) on that day, EONIA
for that day shall be calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | If, in relation to any TARGET Day:
| | --- | ----------------------------------



| | (i) | there is no EONIA Screen Rate, and EONIA is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine EONIA by 18.00 (Brussels time) on
that day; or
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | on or before the close of business in London on the TARGET Day, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Swingline Loan exceed 50 per cent. of that Swingline Loan) that
the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in their Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of EONIA,
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

the rate of interest on each Lenders share of the relevant Swingline Loan for the relevant
day shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:



| | (iii) | the rate notified to the Euro Swingline Agent by that Lender to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Swingline Loan for that day from
whatever source it may reasonably select; and
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | the Swingline Margin.
| | ---- | ---------------------



|9.2 | Due dates
|--- | ---------

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, accrued interest on each
Advance is payable by the relevant Borrower on its Maturity Date and also, in the case of any Advance with a Term longer than six months, at six monthly intervals after its Drawdown Date for so long as the Term is outstanding.



|9.3 | Default interest
|--- | ----------------



| | (a) | If a Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Agreement when due (an Overdue Amount), it shall forthwith on demand by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent, pay
interest on the Overdue Amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment, both before and after judgment, at a rate (the Default Rate) determined by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent to be one per
cent. per annum (the Default Margin) above the higher of:
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | the rate on the Overdue Amount under Clause 9.1 (Interest rate for all Advances) immediately before the due date (in the case of principal); and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | the rate which would have been payable under Clause 9.1 (Interest rate for all Advances) if the Overdue Amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Revolving Credit Advance in the currency of the Overdue
Amount for such successive Terms of such duration as the Agent may determine (each a Designated Term),
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

except that during any grace period specified in Clause 19.2 (Non-payment) the Default Margin portion of the Default Rate will only apply to
overdue payments of principal.



| | (b) | The Default Rate will be determined on each Business Day or the first day of, or two Business Days before the first day of, the relevant Designated Term, as appropriate.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | If the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent, determines that deposits in the currency of the Overdue Amount are not at the relevant time being made available by the Reference Banks to leading banks in
the Relevant Interbank Market, the Default Rate will be determined by reference to the cost of funds to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent, from whatever sources it selects, acting reasonably at all times, after consultation
with the Reference Banks.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | Default interest will be compounded at the end of each Designated Term.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | The Agent shall notify Vodafone of the duration of each Designated Term.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



|9.4 | Notification of rates of interest
|--- | ---------------------------------

The Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline
Agent will promptly notify each relevant Party of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.



---

|9.5 | Margin
|--- | ------



| | (a) | The Margin applicable to each Advance will be the lowest percentage rate specified in Column 2 below which corresponds to the criteria in relation to the Long Term Credit Rating Assigned to Vodafone in Column 1 below by
Moodys, Fitch and/or S&P (as the case may be) (each a Credit Rating Agency) at the relevant time.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|                                                            |  |                              |       |

|Any two are equal to or higher than: Aa3/AA-/AA-            |  |                              | 0.175 | 
|Any two are equal to or higher than: A1/A+/A+               |  |                              | 0.20  | 
|Any two are equal to or higher than: A2/A/A                 |  |                              | 0.225 | 
|Otherwise                                                   |  |                              | 0.275 | 
|All Quoting Credit Rating Agencies are lower than: A3/A-/A- |  |                              | 0.325 | 

For the purposes of this Clause 9.5(a) All Quoting Credit Rating Agencies means at any time
each Credit Rating Agency which has a Long Term Credit Rating Assigned to Vodafone at the relevant time



| | (b) | For the purposes of paragraph (a) above:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------



| | (i) | the Margin applicable to an Advance throughout the whole of its Term will be determined according to the Long Term Credit Rating Assigned to Vodafone as at the Drawdown Date of the Advance; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | if on the Drawdown Date of any Advance only one Credit Rating Agency assigns a long term credit rating to Vodafone, the Margin applicable to that Advance will be determined in accordance with paragraph (i) by
reference to such Long Term Credit Rating Assigned to Vodafone, or in the event that there is no Long Term Credit Rating Assigned to Vodafone the Margin applicable to that Advance will be 0.325 per cent. per annum.
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the case of Clause 9.5(b)(ii) above, where the ratings category will be determined by one Credit Rating Agency only, the words Any two
are and All Quoting Credit Rating Agencies in Column 1 of the table above shall be construed as a reference to the rating determined pursuant to Clause 9.5(b)(ii) above.



| | (c) | Promptly upon becoming aware of the same, Vodafone shall inform the Agent in writing if any change in the Long Term Credit Rating Assigned to Vodafone occurs or the circumstances contemplated by paragraph 9.5(b)(ii)
above arise.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | For the purpose of this Clause 9.5 the Long Term Credit Rating Assigned to Vodafone means, at any time, the solicited long term credit rating assigned at that time to Vodafone by the relevant Credit
Rating Agency (but, for the avoidance of doubt, disregarding any outlook or review action, including placing Vodafone on creditwatch or any similar or analogous step, taken by such Credit Rating Agency) where the rating is based primarily on the
unsecured credit risk (not credit enhanced or collateralised) of Vodafone in a manner comparable to the credit structure of Vodafones 1,250,000,000 bond issue due January 2022 (the Reference Bond), or if the Reference
Bond ceases to be outstanding, such other

| | outstanding series of listed bonds issued or guaranteed by Vodafone with a maturity date following and closest to January 2022. References in this paragraph (d) to Vodafone shall, following
the Reorganisation Date, be references to NewTopco, provided that a long term credit rating has been assigned to NewTopco.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|9.6 | Non-Business Days
|--- | -----------------

If a Term would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day,

principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London) or as it may notify to that Obligor or Lender for this purpose.



|10.2 | Funds
|---- | -----

Payments under this Agreement to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro
Swingline Agent shall be made for value on the due date at such times and in such funds as the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent may specify to the Party concerned as being customary at the time for the settlement of
transactions in the relevant currency in the place for payment.



|10.3 | Distribution
|---- | ------------



| | (a) | Each payment received by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent under this Agreement for another Party shall, subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, be made available by the Agent or, as
the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent to that Party by payment (on the date of value of receipt and in the currency and funds of receipt) to its account with such bank in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency
(or, in the case of euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London) as it may notify to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent for this purpose by not less than five Business Days prior
notice.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | Where a sum is to be paid under this Agreement to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent for the account of another Party, the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent is not obliged to
pay that sum to that Party until it has established that it has actually received that sum. The Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent may, however, assume that the sum has been paid to it in accordance with this Agreement and, in
reliance on that assumption, make available to that Party a corresponding amount. If the sum has not been made available but the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent has paid a corresponding amount to another Party, that Party
shall forthwith on demand refund the corresponding amount to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt, calculated at a rate reasonably determined
by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent to reflect its cost of funds.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|---- | --------------------------------------



| | (a) | If, at any time, the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to
make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent or Euro Swingline Agent in accordance with Clause 10 (Payments) may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient or pay that amount to an interest-bearing account held with

11.5 (U.S. Taxes), if any Relevant Tax or amounts in respect of Relevant Tax are deducted or withheld from any amounts payable or paid by an Obligor, to a



---

Finance Party under the Finance Documents (in each case, other than a FATCA Deduction), the
Obligor shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the relevant Finance Party receives a net amount equal to the full amount which it would have received had that Relevant Tax or those amounts in respect of Relevant Tax not
been so deducted or withheld.



|11.2 | Indemnity
|---- | ---------

Save to the extent that the relevant Finance Party is compensated by an
increased payment under Clause 11.1 (Gross-up), but otherwise without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 11.1 (Gross-up), but subject to Clause 11.4 (Qualifying Lenders) and Clause 11.5 (U.S. Taxes), if a Finance Party or the Agent (or, as the
case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent) on behalf of that Finance Party is required to make any payment on account of any Relevant Tax on or in relation to any sum received or receivable hereunder by such Finance Party or the Agent (or, as the case

Agent (or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent) on behalf of that Finance Party (in all cases other than any Tax on Overall Net Income or any FATCA Deduction), the relevant Obligor shall, within five Business Days of demand by the Agent
(or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent) indemnify such Finance Party against such payment or liability in respect of such payment, together with any interest, penalties, reasonable costs and reasonable expenses payable or incurred in
connection therewith other than any such interest, penalties, costs or expenses arising as a result of a failure by a Finance Party to make payment of such tax when due.

|---- | ------------

All taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld by an Obligor from
any amounts paid or payable under the Finance Documents shall be paid by the relevant Obligor when due and the Obligor shall, within 15 days of the payment being made, deliver to the Agent for the relevant Lender evidence satisfactory to that Lender
acting reasonably (including any relevant tax receipts which have been received) that the payment has been duly remitted to the appropriate authority.



|11.4 | Qualifying Lenders
|---- | ------------------



| | (a) | An Obligor is not required to pay to a Lender any amounts under Clause 11.1 (Gross-up) or Clause 11.2 (Indemnity) in respect of Relevant Tax imposed by the United Kingdom if, on the date on which the payment falls due,
the relevant Lender is a Party but is not a Qualifying Lender (other than as a result of the introduction, suspension, withdrawal or cancellation of, or change in, or change in the official interpretation, administration or official application of,
any law, regulation having the force of law, tax treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority in any jurisdiction with which the relevant Lender has a connection, occurring after the Signing Date or, if
later, the date on which that Lender becomes a Party).
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | A Treaty Lender shall:
| | --- | ----------------------



| | (i) | promptly and, in any event, within seven Business Days after it becomes a Lender, deliver to its local revenue authority for certification such UK HMRC forms (Claim Forms) as may be required for any
Obligor making a payment to such Treaty Lender to obtain authorisation from the UK HMRC to make such payment without deduction for or on account of any taxes;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | in circumstances where the procedure for Treaty relief contemplated in paragraph (i) above requires a local revenue authority to return a
certified Claim Form to the Treaty Lender for submission by that Treaty Lender to the UK HMRC, (a) take all
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | reasonable follow up action available to the Treaty Lender to facilitate the return in a timely manner to the Treaty Lender of such Claim Form, duly stamped or certified by the relevant revenue
authority and (b) submit such Claim Form to the UK HMRC as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within seven Business Days) after receipt of that Claim Form from the local revenue authority; and
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | in all other circumstances relating to the Treaty relief procedure contemplated in (i) above, following the submission of Claim Forms by the Treaty Lender to the relevant local revenue authority, respond promptly
to any further requests any Treaty Lender receives from the relevant local revenue authority and, on receipt of written request from Vodafone to do so, take all reasonable follow up action to facilitate the submission by the relevant local revenue
authority of duly stamped or certified Claim Forms to the UK HMRC in a timely manner.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is any change in the
procedure by which certification is to be made or to be notified to the UK HMRC, the Treaty Lenders obligations shall be modified in such manner as the Treaty Lender may reasonably determine so that such amended obligations shall, as far as
possible, have the same or equivalent effect as the original obligations. No Obligor resident in the UK shall be liable to pay any sums to any Treaty Lender under Clause 11.1 (Gross-up) or Clause 11.2 (Indemnity) unless the Treaty Lender has
complied with its obligations under this Clause 11.4(b).



| | (c) | Subject to paragraph (d) below, each Lender warrants to Vodafone, on each date upon which it makes an Advance and on the due date for each payment of interest to the Lender:
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | that it is a Qualifying Lender; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------



| | (ii) | if it is a Treaty Lender, it has delivered (or will deliver within the time limits specified herein) the forms described in paragraph (b) above.
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | If a Lender or, as the case may be, the Facility Office of a Lender is aware that it is or will become unable to make the warranty set out in paragraph (c) above of this Clause 11.4 it will promptly notify the
Agent and Vodafone. Notwithstanding such notification to Vodafone, the Agent will promptly notify Vodafone and from the date of the first such notification received by Vodafone the warranty in paragraph (c) above will no longer be made by that
Lender.

this Agreement either:
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | in the case of a Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Lender is not entitled to receive interest payable under this Agreement free and clear
of any U.S. Taxes imposed by way of deduction or withholding at the source under applicable law as in effect on the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or, if such Lender has designated a new Facility Office, the date of such
designation; or
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | such Lender has failed to provide the relevant U.S. Tax Obligor with the appropriate form, certificate or other information with respect to such sum payable that it was required to provide pursuant to paragraphs
(b) and (c) below; or
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | (iii) | such Lender is subject to such tax by reason of any connection between the Lender or its Facility Office and the jurisdiction imposing such tax on the Lender or its Facility Office other than a connection arising solely
from this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | At any time after a U.S. Tax Obligor becomes (and while there continues to be a U.S. Tax Obligor) a Party to this Agreement, if a Lender is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code) it shall submit, as soon as reasonably practicable after:
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such Lender and evidencing such Lenders complete exemption from withholding on all amounts (to which such withholding would otherwise apply) to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any
borrowing by a U.S. Tax Obligor. Thereafter such Lender shall submit to each U.S. Tax Obligor such additional duly completed and signed originals of one or the other such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the
relevant United States taxation authorities) or any additional information, in each case as may be required under then current United States law or regulations to claim the inapplicability of or exemption from United States withholding taxes on
payments in respect of all amounts (to which such withholding would otherwise apply) to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any borrowing by a U.S. Tax Obligor unless such Lender is unable to do
so as a result of a change in, the introduction of, suspension, withdrawal or cancellation of, or change in the official interpretation, administration or official application of, the Code or any regulation promulgated thereunder or of a convention
or agreement for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion between the government of the United States of America and the jurisdiction in which the relevant Lender has a connection, occurring after the date the Lender
becomes a Party to this Agreement or, if such Lender has designated a new Facility Office, the date of such designation.



| | (c) | At any time after a U.S. Tax Obligor becomes (and while there continues to be a U.S. Tax Obligor) a Party to this Agreement, if a Lender is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code) it shall, as soon as practicable after:

submit in duplicate to each U.S. Tax Obligor a duly completed and signed United States Internal Revenue form W-9 evidencing that such Lender is such a United States person and shall submit any additional information that may be necessary to avoid
United States withholding taxes on all payments, including fees, (to which such



---

withholding would otherwise apply) to be received pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any borrowing by a U.S. Tax Obligor.



|11.6 | Refund of Tax Credits
|---- | ---------------------

If any Obligor pays any amount to a Finance Party under this
Clause 11 (a Tax Payment) and that Finance Party obtains a refund of a tax, or a credit against tax by reason of either the circumstances giving rise to the Obligors obligation to make the Tax Payment or that Tax Payment (a
Tax Credit) then that Finance Party shall reimburse that Obligor such amount, which that Finance Party determines in good faith, as can be determined to be the proportion of the Tax Credit as will leave that Finance Party (after
that reimbursement) in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the Tax Payment had not been paid. Nothing in this Clause 11 shall interfere with the right of each Finance Party to arrange its affairs in whatever manner it thinks
fit and no Finance Party is obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to an Obligor which it reasonably considers confidential.



|11.7 | FATCA Information
|---- | -----------------



| | (a) | Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party must, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | confirm to that other Party whether it is:

that other Party reasonably promptly.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | A Finance Party is not obliged to do anything under paragraph (a) above which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

| | --- | ----------------------



| | (ii) | any fiduciary duty; or
| | ---- | ----------------------

| | ----- | ----------------------------



| | (d) | If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above
applies), then:
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party is to be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt
Party; and

---

| | made under them) as if its applicable passthru percentage is 100% (or such other percentage prescribed under FATCA from time to time),
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

until (in each case) such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

| | (v) | a withholding certificate on Form W-8 or Form W-9 (or any successor form) (as applicable); or
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (vi) | any withholding statement and other documentation, authorisations and waivers as the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent, may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers it
receives from a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (e) to the Borrower and shall be entitled to rely on any such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided without further verification. The
Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent, shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (e).



| | (f) | Each Lender agrees that if any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided to the Agent, or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent, pursuant to paragraph
(e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, it shall promptly update such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers or promptly notify the Agent, or, as the case may be, the Euro
Swingline Agent, in writing of its legal inability to do so. The Agent, or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent, shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers or a
copy of any such notification to the Borrower. The Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent, shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (f).

|11.8 | FATCA Deduction
|---- | ---------------



| | (a) | Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party is required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes
such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | (b) | Each Party must, promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in

| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | the Agent is notified by Lenders whose participations in that Advance would represent 50 per cent. or more of that Advance that (i) deposits in the currency of that Advance may not in the ordinary course of
business be available to them in the Relevant Interbank Market for a period equal to the Term concerned in amounts sufficient to fund their participations in that Advance or (ii) the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant
Interbank Market would be in excess of EURIBOR or LIBOR; or

| | (iii) | during the Term of the relevant Advance the rate of interest applicable to such Advance shall be the Margin plus the rate per annum notified by each Lender concerned to the Agent before the last day of such Term to be

illegality:



| | (a) | each Borrower shall, upon request from that Lender within the period allowed or if no period is allowed, forthwith, repay any participation of that Lender in the Advances made to it together with all other amounts
payable by it to that Lender under this Agreement; and

| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | any increased cost of the nature referred to in Clause 13 (Increased Costs); or
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | a notification pursuant to Clause 14.1 (Illegality),
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------

then without in any way limiting,
reducing or otherwise qualifying the rights of such Finance Party or the Agent, such Finance Party shall promptly upon becoming aware of the same notify the Agent thereof (whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify Vodafone) and such Finance Party
shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer its participation in the Facility and its rights hereunder and under the Finance Documents to another financial institution or Facility Office not affected by circumstances having the results set out in
paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) above and shall otherwise take such reasonable steps as may be open to it to mitigate the effects of such circumstances provided that such Finance Party shall not be under any obligation to take any such action
if, in its opinion, to do



---

so would or would be likely to have a material adverse effect upon its business, operations or
financial condition or would involve it in any unlawful activity or any activity that is contrary to its policies or any request, guidance or directive of any competent authority (whether or not having the force of law) or (unless indemnified to its
satisfaction) would involve it in any significant expense or tax disadvantage.



|15. | GUARANTEE
|--- | ---------



|15.1 | Guarantee

| | (a) | as principal obligor, guarantees to each Finance Party that if and whenever:

| | (i) | an amount is due and payable by a Borrower under or in connection with any Finance Document; and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | demand for payment of that amount has been made by the Agent on that Borrower,

that Guarantor
will forthwith on demand by the Agent pay that amount as if that Guarantor instead of that Borrower were expressed to be the principal obligor; and



| | (b) | indemnifies each Finance Party on demand against any loss or liability suffered by it if any obligation guaranteed by any Guarantor is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal (the amount of that loss being the
amount expressed to be payable by the relevant Borrower in respect of the relevant sum).

|15.2 | Continuing guarantee
|---- | --------------------

| | (a) | Where any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of any Borrower or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security
or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the liability of the Guarantors under this Clause 15 shall continue as if the discharge or arrangement had not occurred (but only
to the extent that such payment, security or other disposition is avoided or restored).
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Each Finance Party may concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|15.4 | Waiver of defences

affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 15 or prejudice or diminish those obligations in whole or in part, including (whether or not
known to it or any Finance Party):



| | (a) | any time or waiver granted to, or composition with, any Borrower or other person;

| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

guarantee be construed accordingly, as if there were no unenforceability, illegality or invalidity; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (g) | any postponement, discharge, reduction, non-provability or other similar circumstance affecting any obligation of any Borrower under a Finance Document resulting from any insolvency, liquidation or dissolution
proceedings or from any law, regulation or order so that each such obligation shall, for the purposes of the Guarantors obligations under this Clause 15, be construed as if there were no such circumstance.

Clause 15.

| | (b) | hold in a suspense account (bearing interest at a commercial rate) any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of that Guarantors liability under this Clause 15, with any interest earned being credited to
that account.

|15.7 | Non-competition
|---- | ---------------

or in connection with the Finance Documents have been paid in full, no Guarantor shall, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any payment or performance by it under this Clause 15:

entitled to any right of contribution or
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | indemnity in respect of any payment made or moneys received on account of that Guarantors liability under this Clause 15; or
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Finance Party (other than the Agent)

irrevocably authorises the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent on its behalf to 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. The Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent shall have only those duties which are expressly specified in this Agreement. Those duties are solely of a
mechanical and administrative nature.

The relationship between the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro
Swingline Agent and the other Finance Parties is that of agent and principal only. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent as trustee or fiduciary for any other Party or any other person and
the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent need not hold in trust any moneys paid to it for a Party or be liable to account for interest on those moneys.

| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | Lenders. In the absence of such instructions the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent may act as it considers to be in the best interests of all the Lenders.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Neither the Agent nor the Euro Swingline 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.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|20.5 | Delegation
|---- | ----------

The Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent may act under the
Finance Documents through its personnel and agents.



|20.6 | Responsibility for documentation
|---- | --------------------------------

Neither the Agent, the Euro Swingline Agent nor any
Arranger is responsible to any other Party for:

|20.7 | Default
|---- | -------



| | (a) | The Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent is not obliged to monitor or enquire as to whether or not a Default has occurred. Neither the Agent nor the Euro Swingline Agent will be deemed to have
knowledge of the occurrence of a Default. However, if the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline 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) | The Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline 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.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|20.8 | Exoneration
|---- | -----------



| | (a) | Without limiting paragraph (b) below, the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent will not be liable to any other Party for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with any Finance
Document, unless directly caused by its negligence or wilful misconduct or breach of any of its obligations under or in connection with the Finance Documents.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | No Party may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent being an individual of the Agent or, as the case may be, the Euro Swingline Agent in respect of any claim it might have against the Agent or, as
the case may be, the Euro Swingline 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.

information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms that it:

of the Designated Term; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | the amount of interest which would have been payable to that Finance Party on the relevant Maturity Date or, as the case may be, the last day of the Designated Term concerned in respect of a deposit by that Finance
Party in the currency of the amount received or recovered placed with a prime bank in London earning interest from (and including) the earliest Business Day for placing deposits in such currency following receipt of that amount up to (but excluding)
the relevant Maturity Date or, as the case may be, the last day of the applicable Designated Term,
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

and if the amount payable under paragraph (a) above is greater than the amount payable under
paragraph (b), Vodafone will, forthwith on receipt of a demand from the relevant Finance Party pursuant to sub-clause (c) of Clause 24.2 (Other indemnities), pay to that Finance Party an amount equal to the difference between the amount payable
under paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

|---- | ----------------------------------



| | (a) | Vodafone may, at any time a Lender has become and continues to be a Defaulting Lender, by giving five Business Days prior written notice to the Agent and such Lender:

---

| | (i) | replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 27 (Changes to the Parties) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; or
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | require such Lender to (and such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 27 (Changes to the Parties) all (and not part only) of the undrawn Commitments of the Lender,
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to a Lender or other bank or financial institution, (a Replacement Lender) selected by Vodafone, and which is acceptable to
the Agent (acting reasonably) and which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations or all the relevant obligations of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lenders participations or
unfunded participations (as the case may be) on the same basis as the transferring Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lenders participation in the outstanding
Advances and all accrued interest, Break Costs and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.



| | (b) | Any transfer of rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Clause shall be subject to the following conditions:

| | (i) | Vodafone shall have no right to replace the Agent;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | neither the Agent nor the Defaulting Lender shall have any obligation to Vodafone to find a Replacement Lender;
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | the transfer must take place no later than 45 Business Days after the notice referred to in paragraph (a) above; and
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intermediate Holding Company will execute a document, or documents, in favour of the Lenders in form and substance the same as this Agreement, with references to such Obligor in this Agreement amended to mean NewTopco or such Intermediate Holding
Company (as applicable), provided that if such transfer is to an Intermediate Holding Company, the Agent may, within 30 days of receipt of notification of such transfer, require NewTopco to accede as a Guarantor. The Agent shall (and is hereby
authorised to) execute on behalf of the Finance Parties any such document or documents executed by NewTopco or the Intermediate Holding Company provided that the conditions set out in this Clause 27.1 are satisfied.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | The transfer of rights and obligations under this Agreement to NewTopco or any Intermediate Holding Company shall not require the consent of the Lenders or the Agent

provides satisfactory evidence to the Agent that it is tax resident in one of those jurisdictions. Subject to paragraph (c) below, the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders shall be required in relation to the transfer of rights and
obligations to a NewTopco or an Intermediate Holding Company incorporated elsewhere.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|27.2 | Transfers by Lenders
|---- | --------------------



| | (a) | A Lender (the Existing Lender) may at any time assign, transfer or novate any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to another bank, financial institution, central bank or federal
reserve (the New Lender) provided that:
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | subject to paragraph (b) below Vodafone (or following a Hive Up, NewTopco) has, except while an Event of Default is continuing or in the case of an assignment, transfer or novation to an Affiliate or another

| | (ii) | in the case of a partial assignment, transfer or novation of rights and/or obligations, a minimum amount of 8,000,000 in aggregate and in multiples of 1,000,000 (unless to an Affiliate or to a Lender or the
Agent agrees otherwise) must be assigned, transferred or novated; and
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | in the case of an assignment, transfer or novation by a Swingline Lender (or an Affiliate of a Swingline Lender), a portion of that Swingline Lenders Swingline Commitment must also be assigned, transferred or
novated to the extent necessary (if at all) to ensure that the Swingline Lenders Swingline Commitment does not exceed its Commitment after the assignment, transfer or novation.
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Vodafone must respond to a request for its consent to a transfer made under paragraph (a)(i) above as soon as is reasonably practicable and, in any event, no later than 15 Business Days after the day on which it
received the request, or Vodafone will be deemed to have given its consent to the transfer.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either:
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | the obligations are novated in accordance with Clause 27.4 (Procedure for novations); or
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | the New Lender gives prior written notice to Vodafone and, except while an Event of Default is continuing or in the case of an assignment, transfer or novation to an Affiliate or another Lender, obtains the consent of
Vodafone in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) above and confirms to the Agent and Vodafone that it undertakes to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. On the transfer becoming effective
in this manner the Existing Lender shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that they are transferred to the New Lender; and
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | (iii) | the Agent has performed all know your customer or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall
promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | Nothing in this Agreement restricts the ability of a Lender to sub-contract an obligation if that Lender remains liable under this Agreement for that obligation.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (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), the New Lender shall, on the date the assignment, transfer and/or
novation takes effect, pay to the Agent for its own account a fee of 2,500.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (f) | An Existing Lender is not responsible to a New Lender for:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | the execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of any Finance Document or any other document; or
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (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 it:
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | 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; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | 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 Commitment is in force.
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (h) | Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | accept a re transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and/or obligations assigned, transferred or novated under this Clause 27; 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 but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement and its Commitment has been cancelled or reduced to nil.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (j) | If any assignment, transfer or novation results either:
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | at the time of the assignment, transfer or novation; or
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | at any future time where the additional amount was caused as a result of laws and/or regulations in force at the date of the assignment, transfer or novation,
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in additional amounts becoming due under Clause 11 (Taxes) or amounts becoming due under Clause 13 (Increased Costs), the New Lender shall be
entitled to receive such additional amounts

| | (ii) | the Advances in which that Affiliate will participate are specified in this Agreement or in a notice given by that Lender to the Agent.
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this event, the Lender and the Affiliate will participate in Advances in the manner provided for in sub-paragraph (ii) above.



| | (b) | If paragraph (a) above applies, the Lender and its Affiliate will be treated as having a single Commitment and a single vote, but, for all other purposes, will be treated as separate Lenders.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|27.4 | Procedure for novations
|---- | -----------------------



| | (a) | A novation is effected if:
| | --- | --------------------------



| | (i) | the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Agent a duly completed certificate (a Novation Certificate), substantially in the form of Part 1 of Schedule 4, with such amendments as the Agent
approves to achieve a substantially similar effect (which may be delivered by fax and confirmed by delivery of a hard copy original but the fax will be effective irrespective of whether confirmation is received); and
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | the Agent executes it (as soon as practicable for it to do so).
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Agent to execute any duly completed Novation Certificate on its behalf.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (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; and
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (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,
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

all on the date of execution of the Novation Certificate by the Agent or, if later, 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 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 Drawdown Date of that Advance.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Novation Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary know your customer or other
similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

|29. | SET-OFF
|--- | -------



|29.1 | Contractual set-off
|---- | -------------------

Whilst an Event of Default subsists each Obligor authorises each
Finance Party to apply any credit balance to which that Obligor is entitled on any account of that Obligor with that Finance Party or any other sum due and payable by that Lender to that Obligor in satisfaction of any sum due and payable from that
Obligor to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents but unpaid. For this purpose, each Finance Party is authorised to purchase with the moneys standing to the credit of any such account such other currencies as may be necessary to effect such
application.



|29.2 | Set-off not mandatory
|---- | ---------------------

No Finance Party shall be obliged to exercise any right given to
it by Clause 29.1 (Contractual set-off).



|29.3 | Notice of set-off
|---- | -----------------

Any Finance Party exercising its rights under Clause 29.1
(Contractual set-off) shall notify Vodafone promptly after set-off is applied.



|29.4 | Set-off by Obligors
|---- | -------------------

Any Obligor may at any time on or after a Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender set off amounts owed by that Obligor to that Lender under the Finance Documents against any credit balance on any account of that Obligor with that Lender or any other sum due and payable by that Lender to that Obligor (regardless
of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation). If the obligations are in different currencies, that Obligor may convert either obligation at the Agents Spot Rate of Exchange (or, if there is no such rate, at a
market rate of exchange reasonably selected by Vodafone) for the purpose of the set-off. If an Obligor exercises such rights of set off: (i) it shall notify the Lender promptly thereafter; and (ii) the Lender shall treat any such
obligation owed by the Lender to that Obligor as if it was a payment received by the Lender from that Obligor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

|30. | PRO RATA SHARING
|--- | ----------------



|30.1 | 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 Agent in accordance with Clause 10 (Payments) (a Recovery), then:



| | (a) | the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the Recovery to the Agent;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | the 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 Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 10
(Payments);
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | subject to Clause 30.3 (Exceptions), the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the Redistribution) equal to the excess;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | the Agent shall treat the Redistribution as if it were a payment by the Obligor concerned under Clause 10 (Payments) and shall pay the Redistribution to the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) in
accordance with Clause 10.8 (Partial payments); and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | after payment of the full Redistribution, the Recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the portion of the claims paid under paragraph (d) above, and that Obligor will owe the Recovering Finance Party a debt
which is equal to the Redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|30.2 | Reversal of redistribution
|---- | --------------------------

If under Clause 30.1 (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 Agent, reimburse the Recovering Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the Redistribution paid to that Finance Party. Thereupon the
subrogation in Clause 30.1(e) (Redistribution) will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.



|30.3 | 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
30.1(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.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, any New York State court or U.S. Federal court sitting in the City and County of New York also has jurisdiction to settle any dispute in connection with any Finance Document,
and, for the benefit of the Finance Parties, each Obligor submits to the jurisdiction of those courts.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
