one or more further Additional Facility X Accession Agreements, that specify
(along with the other terms specified therein) UPC Financing as the sole 

 

 

Borrower
and which specify Additional Facility X Commitments denominated in US dollars,
to be drawn in US dollars, with the same Final Maturity Date and Margin as

last day of any Interest Period for such Facility X Advance, that Facility X
Advance will be consolidated with any other Facility X Advance which has an
Interest Period ending on the same day as that Facility X Advance, and all such
Facility X Advances will then be treated as one Advance.

 

17.                                Each of UPC Broadband and UPC
Financing confirms, on behalf of themselves and each other Obligor that the

this Agreement will not violate any agreement or instrument to which UPC
Holding is a party or binding upon UPC Holding or any member of the Borrower
Group or any assets of UPC Holding or any member of the Borrower Group’s
assets, where such violation would or is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

19.                                 Each Additional Facility X
Lender confirms to each Finance Party that:

 

(a)                                  it has made its own
independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs
of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation
in the Credit Agreement and has not relied on any information provided to it by
a Finance Party in connection with any Finance Document; and

 

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

Agreement or any Additional Facility Commitment is in force.

 

20.                                 Each of the Additional

Certificate referred to below) shall become, by the execution by the Facility
Agent of a Novation Certificate substantially in the form of part 1 or part 2
of Schedule 3 to this Agreement, bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it

an original party to this Agreement as an Additional Facility X Lender.

 

 

21.                                 Each Additional Facility X

Clause 5.1 (Delivery of Request) of the Credit Agreement in respect of this
Facility X.

Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by each party on
separate counterparts.  Each counterpart
is an original, but all counterparts shall together constitute one and the same

Additional Facility X Accession Agreement.

 

Terms defined in the Credit Agreement or,
if not defined in the Credit Agreement, the Additional Facility N Accession
Agreements, have the same meaning in this Novation Certificate.

 

1.                                       [            ]
(the Existing N Lender) agrees to novate and
UPC Broadband Operations B.V. (the New N Lender)
agrees to accept novation on the Effective Date of all the Existing N Lender’s
rights and obligations referred to in the Schedule in accordance with
Clause 26.3 (Procedure for novations) of the Credit Agreement and clause
9.3 (Transfers by the Lenders) of the Security Deed.

 

2.                                       UPC Broadband Operations B.V.
(the Existing X Lender) agrees to novate and
[            ] (the
New X Lender) agrees to accept the
novation on the Effective Date of all the Existing X Lender’s rights and
obligations referred to in the Schedule in accordance with Clause 26.3
(Procedure for novations) of the Credit Agreement and clause 9.3 (Transfers by
the Lenders) of the Security Deed.

 

3.                                       The aggregate Existing N
Commitment will be equal to the aggregate Existing X Commitment (each term as
referred to in the schedule to this certificate). The Existing N Lender’s
obligation to transfer the Existing N Commitment to the New N Lender and the
Existing X Lender’s obligation to transfer the Existing X Commitment to the New
X Lender, will each be deemed to be satisfied by the other, in each case on the
Effective Date.

 

4.                                       The New N Lender confirms that
it is bound
by the terms of the Additional Facility N Accession Agreement as if it were an
original party thereto as an Additional Facility N Lender and
shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations towards the other
parties to the
Additional Facility N Accession Agreement as would have been
acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an original party to the Additional
Facility N Accession Agreement as an Additional Facility N
Lender.

 

 

5.                                       The New X Lender confirms that
it is bound
by the terms of the Additional Facility X Accession Agreement as if it were an
original party thereto as an Additional Facility X Lender and
shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations towards the other
parties to the
Additional Facility X Accession Agreement as would have been
acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an original party to the Additional
Facility X Accession Agreement as an Additional Facility X
Lender.

 

6.                                       This certificate shall take
effect on the date of this certificate.

 

7.                                       For the purposes of this
certificate, “Effective Date” means the date
specified under the Facility Agent’s name in the relevant signature page to
this Novation Certificate.

 

8.                                       Each party to this document
agrees, the Facility Agent agrees on behalf of each Finance Party, and UPC
Broadband Holding B.V. agrees on behalf of each Obligor, that this document is
a Novation Certificate notwithstanding that its form is different to that
required by the Credit Agreement or any Additional Facility N Accession
Agreement.

 

9.                                       This Novation Certificate is a

Novation Certificate may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by each
party on separate counterparts.  Each
counterpart is an original, but all counterparts shall together constitute one
and the same instrument.  Delivery of an
executed counterpart signature page of this Novation Certificate by e-mail

any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are
governed by English law.
