	Unless otherwise defined in this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement, terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning in this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement and a reference to a Clause is a reference to a Clause of the Credit Agreement.

	3.
	We refer to Clause 2.3 (Additional Facilities) of the Credit Agreement. This Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement is an Additional Facility Accession Agreement for the purposes of the Credit Agreement. 

		
	4.
	This Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement will take effect on the date on which the Facility Agent notifies UPC Broadband and the Additional Facility AT Lenders that it has received the documents and evidence set out in Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent) to this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to it (acting reasonably) or, as the case may be, the requirement to provide any such documents or evidence has been waived by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Majority Additional Facility AT Lenders (the Effective Date). The Facility Agent must give this notification to UPC Broadband and the Additional Facility AT Lenders promptly upon being so satisfied.

		
	5.
	We, the Additional Facility AT Lenders, agree:

		
	(a)
	to become party to and to be bound by the terms of the Credit Agreement as Lenders in accordance with Clause 2.3 (Additional Facilities) of the Credit Agreement; and

		
	(b)
	to become party to the Intercreditor Agreement as Senior Lenders and to observe, perform and be bound by the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement in the capacity of Senior Lender, as if we had been an original party to the Intercreditor Agreement.

		
	6.
	The Additional Facility Commitment in relation to an Additional Facility AT Lender (for the purpose of the definition of Additional Facility Commitment in Clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Credit Agreement) is its Facility AT Commitment.

		
	7.
	Any interest due in relation to Facility AT will be payable on the last day of each Interest Period and otherwise in accordance with Clause 11 (Interest) of the Credit Agreement.

2

		
	8.
	The Additional Facility Availability Period for Facility AT shall be the period from and including the Effective Date up to and including the date falling 45 Business Days after the Effective Date (or any date agreed between the Additional Facility AT Lenders and UPC Financing). At the end of the Additional Facility Availability Period for Facility AT, the Available Commitments in respect of Facility AT shall automatically be cancelled and the Available Commitments in respect of Facility AT for each Additional Facility AT Lender shall automatically be reduced to zero.

		
	9.
	Facility AT may be drawn by up to two Advances (or any other number of Advances agreed between the Additional Facility AT Lenders and UPC Financing) and no more than two Requests (or any other number of Requests agreed between the Additional Facility AT Lenders and UPC Financing) may be made in respect of Facility AT under the Credit Agreement.

		
	10.
	The first Interest Period to apply to each Facility AT Advance will be a period running from the first Utilisation Date in respect of that Facility AT Advance up to (and including) 16 March 2020.

		
	11.
	Each Facility AT Advance will be used for general corporate purposes and/or working capital purposes, including without limitation, the redemption, refinancing, repayment or prepayment of any existing indebtedness of the Borrower Group and/or the payment of any fees and expenses in connection with Facility AT and the other transactions related thereto.

		
	12.
	The Final Maturity Date in respect of Facility AT will be 30 April 2028 or such other date agreed between the Additional Facility AT Lenders and UPC Financing. 

		
	13.

	The Margin in relation to Facility AT is 2.25 per cent. per annum or such other rate agreed between the Additional Facility AT Lenders and UPC Financing.

		
	15.
	The Borrower in relation to Facility AT is UPC Financing.

		
	16.
	Facility AT is made available as a term loan.

		
	17.
	The interest rate for Facility AT will be calculated in accordance with Clause 11.1 (Interest rate) of the Credit Agreement, being the sum of LIBOR and the applicable Margin. For the avoidance of doubt, each party to this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement accepts and acknowledges that LIBOR has the meaning given to it under Clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Credit Agreement and that if, at the time of calculation, the rate is determined to be below zero per cent., then LIBOR will be deemed to be zero per cent.  

		
	18.
	Each Facility AT Advance shall be issued at 99.75% of par provided that no original issue discount shall be payable on any Facility AT Advance arising from an increase in the Facility AT Commitments effected in accordance with paragraph 3 (AT OID Fees Funding) of the Fee Letter.

		
	19.
	If on or prior to the date falling 6 months after the date of this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement (but not otherwise) UPC Financing:

		
	(a)
	makes any prepayment of Facility AT in connection with any Repricing Transaction (as defined below) other than where such prepayment is funded by the issuance of notes by any member of the Borrower Group or a special purpose vehicle which on-lends the proceeds of such notes to a member of the Borrower Group; or

		
	(b)
	effects any amendment of this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement or the Credit Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendments contemplated by Schedule 6 (Additional Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications), Schedule 7 (Fourth 

3

Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications),  Schedule 8 (Fifth Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications), Schedule 9 (Sixth Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications), Schedule 10 (Seventh Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications) and/or Schedule 11 (Eighth Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications) or this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement (the “Approved Amendments”)  resulting in a Repricing Transaction;
UPC Financing shall, in each case, pay to the Facility Agent, for the account of each applicable Additional Facility AT Lender,
		
	(c)
	in the case of paragraph (a) above, a prepayment fee equal to 1.00 per cent. flat on the amount of that Additional Facility AT Lender’s Facility AT Advances which are prepaid and such prepayment fee shall be due and payable on the date of such prepayment; and

		
	(d)
	in the case of paragraph (b) above, a prepayment fee equal to 1.00 per cent. flat on the aggregate amount of the Facility AT Advances of each Additional Facility AT Lender that shall have been the subject of a mandatory assignment under the Credit Agreement following the failure of such Additional Facility AT Lender to consent to such amendment on or prior to the date falling 6 months after the date of this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement and such prepayment fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such assignment.

In this paragraph:
“Repricing Transaction” means the prepayment or refinancing of all or a portion of the Facility AT Advances with any long term bank debt financing incurred for the primary purpose of repaying, refinancing, substituting or replacing the Facility AT Advances which have (or any amendment to this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement or the Credit Agreement which results in) an effective interest cost or weighted average yield (as determined by the Facility Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practice and, in any event, excluding any arrangement or commitment fees in connection therewith) that is less than the interest rate for or weighted average yield (as determined by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) on the same basis) of the Facility AT Advances.
		
	20.
	(a)    Provided that any upsizing of Facility AT permitted under this paragraph will not breach any term of the Credit Agreement, Facility AT may be upsized by any amount, by the signing of one or more further Additional Facility AT Accession Agreements, that specify (along with the other terms specified therein) UPC Financing as the sole Borrower and which specify Additional Facility AT Commitments denominated in US Dollars, to be drawn in US Dollars, with the same Final Maturity Date and Margin as specified in this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement. 

		
	(i)
	For the purposes of this paragraph 20 (unless otherwise specified), references to Facility AT Advances shall include Advances made under any such further and previous Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement. 

		
	(ii)
	Where any Facility AT Advance has not already been consolidated with any other Facility AT Advance, on the last day of any Interest Period for that unconsolidated Facility AT Advance, that unconsolidated Facility AT Advance will be consolidated with any other unconsolidated Facility AT Advance which has an Interest Period ending on the same day as that unconsolidated Facility AT Advance, and all such Facility AT Advances will then be treated as one Advance.

		
	21.
	For the purposes of any amendment or waiver, consent or other modification (including, with respect to any existing Default or Event of Default) that may be sought by UPC Broadband and UPC Financing under the Credit Agreement or any other Finance Document on or after the date of this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement, each Additional Facility AT Lender hereby consents (in the capacity of a Lender and, if it is a Hedge Counterparty, in the capacity of a Hedge Counterparty), and agrees to procure, unless it is prohibited from doing so, that any of 

4

its Affiliates or Related Funds that are Hedge Counterparties or a Lender under a Revolving Facility consent (in their capacity as Hedge Counterparties or Lenders under a Revolving Facility, as applicable) to any and all of the following:

	(c)
	any other amendment, waiver, consent or modification, whether effected by one instrument or through a series of amendments, to the Credit Agreement or any other Finance Document to be made to conform any Finance Document to any Liberty Global Reference Agreement provided that any amendment, waiver, consent or modification to conform the Credit Agreement or any other Finance Document to any Liberty Global Reference Agreement referred to at paragraphs (iv) to (vi) (inclusive) and (viii) to (xiv) (inclusive) of that definition shall be limited to those that are mechanical in nature unless specifically referenced in the Approved Amendments, and, in each case, any consequential amendments, waivers, consents or modifications,

and this Additional Facility AT Accession Agreement shall constitute each Additional Facility AT Lenders' irrevocable and unconditional written consent (in the capacity of a Lender and, if it is a Hedge Counterparty, in the capacity of a Hedge Counterparty) and the agreement of each Additional Facility AT Lender to procure, unless it is prohibited from doing so, that each of its Affiliates and Related Funds that is a Lender under a Revolving Facility or a Hedge Counterparty provides irrevocable and unconditional written consent in that capacity in respect of such amendments, waivers, consents or other modifications to the Finance Documents for the purposes of Clause 28 (Amendments and Waivers) of the Credit Agreement, Clause 28 (Consents, Amendments and Override) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and any clause in any other Finance Document relating to amendments of that Finance Document without any further action required on the part of any party thereto.
		
	22.
	Each Additional Facility AT Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees (in the capacity of a Lender and, if it is a Hedge Counterparty, in the capacity of a Hedge Counterparty), and agrees to procure, unless it is prohibited from doing so, that any of its Affiliates or Related Funds that are Hedge Counterparties or a Lender under a Revolving Facility acknowledge and agree (in their capacity as Hedge Counterparties or Lenders under a Revolving Facility, as applicable) that the Facility Agent and/or the Security Agent may, but shall not be required to, send to the Additional Facility AT Lenders any further formal amendment request in connection with all, or any of the proposed amendments set out under paragraph 21 above and the Facility Agent and/or the Security Agent shall be authorised to consent on behalf of each Additional Facility AT Lender, as a Lender under one or more Additional Facilities and as a Hedge Counterparty under the Intercreditor Agreement, to any such proposed amendments set out under paragraph 21 above (and the Facility Agent and/or the Security Agent shall be authorised to enter into any necessary documentation in connection with the same), and such consent shall be taken into account in calculating whether the Majority Lenders, or the relevant requisite Lenders, or the Hedge Counterparties have consented to the relevant amendments and/or waivers or other modifications to the Finance Documents in accordance with Clause 28 (Amendments and Waivers) of the Credit Agreement, Clause 28 (Consents, Amendments and Override) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and any clause relating to amendments in any other Finance Document.

		
	23.
	Each Additional Facility AT Lender hereby waives (in the capacity of a Lender and, if it is a Hedge Counterparty, in the capacity of a Hedge Counterparty), and agrees to procure, unless it is prohibited from doing so, that any of its Affiliates or Related Funds that are Hedge Counterparties or a Lender under a Revolving Facility waive (in their capacity as Hedge Counterparties or Lenders under a Revolving Facility, as applicable) receipt of any fee in connection with the foregoing consent, notwithstanding that other consenting Lenders under the Credit Agreement or Hedge Counterparties under the Intercreditor Agreement may be paid a fee in consideration of such Lenders' 

5

or Hedge Counterparties’ consent to any or all of the foregoing amendments, waivers, consents or other modifications.

	We, the Additional Facility AT Lenders, acknowledge and agree that the Lender Asset Security Release Confirmation has been delivered by the Facility Agent to the Lenders and that the Security Agent is therefore irrevocably authorised in accordance with Clause 19.28(a) (Asset Security Release) of the Credit Agreement to execute such documents as may be required to ensure that the Security (other than (i) any Security required to be granted under paragraph (b)(ii) of the definition of “80% Security Test” and (ii) any Security provided over any account in connection with a Borrower providing cash cover for a Documentary Credit or an Ancillary Facility pursuant to Clause 6.9(a) (Cash Cover by Borrower) and Clause 1.2(a)(iv) (Construction) of the Credit Agreement) is released.

	If any Default or Event of Default occurs due to (x) the failure by any person to take any action by a specified time, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have been remedied at the time, if any, that the applicable person takes such action or (y) the taking of any action by any person that is not then permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Finance Document, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be remedied on the earlier to occur of (A) the date on which such action would be permitted at such time to be taken under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents and (B) the date on which such action is unwound or otherwise modified to the extent necessary for such revised action to be permitted at such time by this Agreement and the other Finance Documents. If any Default or Event of Default occurs that is subsequently remedied (a “Cured Default”), any other subsequent Default or Event of Default resulting from the taking or omitting to take any action by any person, which subsequent Default or Event of Default would not have arisen had the Cured Default not occurred, shall be deemed to be remedied automatically upon, and simultaneously with, the remedy of the Cured Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, a Default or Event of Default (the “Initial Default”) may not be cured pursuant to this Clause [1.X]:

		
	(i)
	in the case of an Initial Default described in sub-paragraph (y) above, if an officer of UPC Broadband had Knowledge at the time of taking any such action that such Initial Default had occurred and was continuing; or

		
	(ii)
	if the Facility Agent shall have declared all Outstandings to be immediately due and payable pursuant to the provisions described under Clause 21.18 (Acceleration)  prior to the date such Initial Default would have been deemed to be remedied under this paragraph.

		
	(a)
	For purposes of this Clause [1.X], “Knowledge” shall mean, with respect to an officer of UPC Broadband, (i) the actual knowledge of such individual or (ii) the knowledge that such individual would have obtained if such individual had acted in good faith to discharge his or her duties with the same level of diligence and care as would reasonably be expected from an officer in a substantially similar position.

		
	(b)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if a Default occurs for a failure to report or deliver a required certificate in connection with an Initial Default then at the time such Initial Default is remedied, such Default for a failure to report or deliver a required certificate in connection with the Initial Default will also be remedied without any further action and (ii) any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Clause 19.2 (Financial information), or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be remedied upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or notice or certificate, as applicable,
