	4.
	This Agreement will take effect on the date on which the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower and the Facility C Lenders that it has received the documents and evidence set out in Schedule 2 to this Agreement, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to it (acting reasonably), or, as the case may be, the requirement to provide any of such documents or evidence has been waived by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Majority Facility C Lenders (the “Effective Date”).  

		
	5.
	Unless otherwise indicated herein, the terms of this Agreement shall be consistent in all material respects with the terms of the Facilities Agreement including, without limitation, with respect to interest period, conditions precedent, tax gross-up provisions and indemnity provisions, representations and warranties, utilisation mechanics, cancellation and prepayment (including

the treatment of this Agreement under the prepayment waterfall), fees, costs and expenses, transfers, voting, amendments and waivers, non-financial covenants and events of default.

65407535_7

		
	9.
	The Additional Facility Commitment of each Facility C Lender for the purposes of the definition of Additional Facility Commitment in Clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Facilities Agreement is its Facility C Commitment. 

		
	10.
	The Termination Date in respect of the Term Loan C Facility is the Facility C Maturity Date.  

		
	11.
	The Term Loan C Facility shall be repaid in full on the Facility C Maturity Date.

		
	12.
	Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Facility C Lenders agree to make available to the Borrower a term loan facility in an amount equal to the aggregate of the Facility C Commitments.  The Availability Period in respect of the Term Loan C Facility is the period from and including the Effective Date (which shall be the Additional Facility Commencement Date for the purposes of the Facilities Agreement) up to and including 18 January 2018 or such other date agreed between the Facility C Lenders and the Borrower.

	The Margin in relation to the Term Loan C Facility is 2.75% per annum or such other rate agreed between the Facility C Lenders and the Borrower.  

		
	14.
	The interest rate for the Term Loan C Facility will be calculated in accordance with Clause 12 (Interest) of the Facilities Agreement, being the sum of EURIBOR and the applicable Margin. For the avoidance of doubt, each party to this Agreement accepts and acknowledges that EURIBOR has the meaning given to it under Clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Facilities Agreement provided that if EURIBOR as determined in accordance with that definition is less than zero, it shall be deemed to be zero. The first Interest Period to apply to each Facility C Loan will be set out in the respective Utilisation Request for that Facility C Loan. 

		
	15.
	Loans under this Additional Facility will be used for general corporate purposes and/or working capital purposes, including, without limitation, the refinancing, repayment or prepayment of any existing indebtedness of any member of the Group including the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing.

		
	16.
	The Term Loan C Facility may be drawn by up to three Loans (or any other number of Loans agreed between the Facility C Lenders and the Borrower) and no more than three Utilisation Requests (or any other number of Utilisation Requests agreed between the Facility C Lenders and the Borrower) may be made in respect of the Term Loan C Facility under the Facilities Agreement.

		
	17.

	(a)
	makes any prepayment of the Term Loan C Facility 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 Group or a special purpose vehicle which on-lends the proceeds of such notes to a member of the Group; or

4
65407535_7

		
	(b)
	effects any amendment of this Agreement or the Facilities Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendments contemplated by Schedule 3 (First Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications) resulting in a Repricing Transaction, 

the Borrower shall, in each case, pay to the Facility Agent, for the account of each applicable Facility C Lender:
		
	(c) 
	in the case of paragraph (a) above, a prepayment fee equal to 1.00 per cent. flat on the amount of that Facility C Lender’s Facility C Loan which is 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 C Loans of each Facility C Lender that shall have been the subject of a mandatory assignment under the Facilities Agreement following the failure of such Lender to consent to such amendment on or prior to the date falling six months after the date of this Agreement and such prepayment fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such assignment.

In this paragraph 18, “Repricing Transaction” means the prepayment or refinancing of all or a portion of the Facility C Loans with any long term bank debt financing incurred for the primary purpose of repaying, refinancing, substituting or replacing the Facility C Loans which has (or any amendment to this Agreement or the Facilities 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 C Loans.

19.    
		
	(a) 
	Provided that any upsizing of the Term Loan C Facility permitted under this paragraph will not breach any term of the Facilities Agreement, the Term Loan C Facility may be upsized by any amount, by the signing of one or more further Additional Facility Accession Agreements in respect of the Term Loan C Facility (an “Additional Accession Agreement”), that specifies (along with the other terms specified therein) Unitymedia Hessen GmbH & Co. KG as the sole Borrower, that the Commitments under that Additional Accession Agreement are denominated in euro, to be drawn in euro and with the same Termination Date and Margin as specified in this Agreement.

		
	(b) 
	For the purposes of this paragraph 19 (unless otherwise specified), references to each Facility C Lender and Facility C Loan shall include Lenders and Loans made under any such further Additional Accession Agreement.

		
	(c) 
	Where any Facility C Loan has not already been consolidated with any other Facility C Loan, on the last day of any Interest Period for that unconsolidated Facility C Loan, that Facility C Loan will be consolidated with any Facility C Loan which has an Interest Period ending on the same day as that unconsolidated Facility C Loan, and all such Loans will then be treated as one Loan under the Term Loan C Facility.

		
	20.
	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 the Borrower under the Facilities Agreement or any other Finance Document on or after the date of this Agreement,

	2.
	Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, terms defined in the Facilities Agreement shall have the same meaning in this Agreement and a reference to a Clause is a reference to a Clause of the Facilities Agreement.  The principles of construction set out in Clause 1.2 (Construction) of the Facilities Agreement apply to this Agreement as though they were set out in full in this Agreement. 

		
	3.
	We refer to Clause 2.2 (Additional Facilities) of the Facilities Agreement.  This Agreement is an Additional Facility Accession Agreement for the purposes of the Facilities Agreement.  

		
	4.
	This Agreement will take effect on the date on which the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower and the Facility D Lenders that it has received the documents and evidence set out in Schedule 2 to this Agreement, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to it (acting reasonably), or, as the case may be, the requirement to provide any of such documents or evidence has been waived by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Majority Facility D Lenders (the “Effective Date”).  

		
	5.
	Unless otherwise indicated herein, the terms of this Agreement shall be consistent in all material respects with the terms of the Facilities Agreement including, without limitation, with respect to interest period, conditions precedent, tax gross-up provisions and indemnity provisions, 

2
65432822_7

representations and warranties, utilisation mechanics, cancellation and prepayment (including the treatment of this Agreement under the prepayment waterfall), fees, costs and expenses, transfers, voting, amendments and waivers, non-financial covenants and events of default.
		
	6.
	No Utilisation may be made of the Additional Facility made available pursuant to this Agreement, if, at the time of such Utilisation, an Event of Default is continuing or would result from such Utilisation.

		
	7.
	The Additional Facility made available pursuant to this Agreement is a term loan.

		
	8.
	We, the Facility D Lenders, agree: 

		
	(a)
	to become party to and to be bound by the terms of the Facilities Agreement as a Lender in accordance with Clause 2.2 (Additional Facilities); and

		
	(b)
	to become a party to the Intercreditor Agreement as a Senior Creditor and to observe, perform and be bound by the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement in the capacity of a Senior Creditor.

		
	9.
	The Additional Facility Commitment of each Facility D Lender for the purposes of the definition of Additional Facility Commitment in Clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Facilities Agreement is its Facility D Commitment. 

		
	10.
	The Termination Date in respect of the Term Loan D Facility is the Facility D Maturity Date.  

		
	11.
	The Term Loan D Facility shall be repaid in full on the Facility D Maturity Date.

		
	12.
	Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Facility D Lenders agree to make available to the Borrower a term loan facility in an amount equal to the aggregate of the Facility D Commitments.  The Availability Period in respect of the Term Loan D Facility is the period from and including the Effective Date (which shall be the Additional Facility Commencement Date for the purposes of the Facilities Agreement) up to and including 18 January 2018 or such other date agreed between the Facility D Lenders and the Borrower. 

		
	13.
	The Margin in relation to the Term Loan D Facility is 2.25% per annum or such other rate agreed between the Facility DC Lenders and the Borrower.  

		
	14.
	The interest rate for the Term Loan D Facility will be calculated in accordance with Clause 12 (Interest) of the Facilities Agreement, being the sum of LIBOR and the applicable Margin. For the avoidance of doubt, each party to this Agreement accepts and acknowledges that LIBOR has the meaning given to it under Clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Facilities Agreement provided that if LIBOR as determined in accordance with that definition is less than zero, it shall be deemed to be zero. The first Interest Period to apply to each Facility D Loan will be set out in the respective Utilisation Request for that Facility D Loan. 

		
	15.
	Loans under this Additional Facility will be used for general corporate purposes and/or working capital purposes, including, without limitation, the refinancing, repayment or prepayment of any existing indebtedness of any member of the Group including the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing.

		
	16.
	The Term Loan D Facility may be drawn by up to three Loans (or any other number of Loans agreed between the Facility D Lenders and the Borrower) and no more than three Utilisation Requests (or any other number of Utilisation Requests agreed between the Facility D Lenders 

3
65432822_7

and the Borrower) may be made in respect of the Term Loan D Facility under the Facilities Agreement.
		
	17.
	For the purposes of partial assignments, transfers or novations of rights and/or obligations by a Lender in respect of this Additional Facility, the Lenders and the Borrower agree that such assignment, transfer or novation shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or such lower amount agreed to by the Facility Agent and the Borrower (save that in the case of a partial assignment, transfer or novation by a Lender of its rights and/or obligations under this Additional Facility to an Affiliate or Related Fund of that Lender, such assignment, transfer or novation shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 or such lower amount agreed to by the Facility Agent and the Borrower).

		
	18.
	If on or prior to the date falling six months after the date of this Agreement (but not otherwise) the Borrower:

		
	(a)
	makes any prepayment of the Term Loan D Facility 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 Group or a special purpose vehicle which on-lends the proceeds of such notes to a member of the Group; or

		
	(b)
	effects any amendment of this Agreement or the Facilities Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendments contemplated by Schedule 3 (First Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications) resulting in a Repricing Transaction, 

the Borrower shall, in each case, pay to the Facility Agent, for the account of each applicable Facility D Lender:
		
	(c) 
	in the case of paragraph (a) above, a prepayment fee equal to 1.00 per cent. flat on the amount of that Facility D Lender’s Facility D Loan which is 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 D Loans of each Facility D Lender that shall have been the subject of a mandatory assignment under the Facilities Agreement following the failure of such Lender to consent to such amendment on or prior to the date falling six months after the date of this Agreement and such prepayment fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such assignment.

In this paragraph 18, “Repricing Transaction” means the prepayment or refinancing of all or a portion of the Facility D Loans with any long term bank debt financing incurred for the primary purpose of repaying, refinancing, substituting or replacing the Facility D Loans which has (or any amendment to this Agreement or the Facilities 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 D Loans.

4
65432822_7

19.    
		
	(a) 
	Provided that any upsizing of the Term Loan D Facility permitted under this paragraph will not breach any term of the Facilities Agreement, the Term Loan D Facility may be upsized by any amount, by the signing of one or more further Additional Facility Accession Agreements in respect of the Term Loan D Facility (an “Additional Accession Agreement”), that specifies (along with the other terms specified therein) Unitymedia Finance LLC as the sole Borrower, that the Commitments under that Additional Accession Agreement are denominated in US Dollars, to be drawn in US Dollars and with the same Termination Date and Margin as specified in this Agreement.

		
	(b) 
	For the purposes of this paragraph 19 (unless otherwise specified), references to each Facility D Lender and Facility D Loan shall include Lenders and Loans made under any such further Additional Accession Agreement.

		
	(c) 
	Where any Facility D Loan has not already been consolidated with any other Facility D Loan, on the last day of any Interest Period for that unconsolidated Facility D Loan, that Facility D Loan will be consolidated with any Facility D Loan which has an Interest Period ending on the same day as that unconsolidated Facility D Loan, and all such Loans will then be treated as one Loan under the Term Loan D Facility.

		
	20.
	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 the Borrower under the Facilities Agreement or any other Finance Document on or after the date of this Agreement, each Facility D Lender hereby consents (in the capacity of a Lender and, if it is a Hedging Bank (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), in the capacity of a Hedging Bank), and agrees to procure, unless it is prohibited from doing so, that any of its Affiliates or Related Funds that are Lenders under a Revolving Facility or Hedging Banks (in their capacity as Lenders under a Revolving Facility or Hedging Banks, as applicable) consent to any and all of the following:

		
	(a)
	any and all of the items set out in Schedule 3 (First Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications) of this Agreement;

	(c)
	any other amendment, waiver, consent or modification, whether effected by one instrument or through a series of amendments, to the Facilities 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 Facilities Agreement or any other Finance Document to any Liberty Global Reference Agreement referred to at paragraphs (vi), (ix), (x), (xi), (xiii) and (xiv) (in each case, other than any amendment, waiver, consent or modification to conform the Facilities Agreement or any Finance Document in relation to any covenant, event of default or definition in such Liberty Global Reference Agreements) shall be limited to any amendment, waiver, consent or modification which is specifically referenced in Schedule 3 (First Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Other Modifications) of this Agreement and, in each case, any consequential amendments, waivers, consents or modifications),

5
65432822_7

and this Agreement shall constitute each Facility D Lender’s irrevocable and unconditional written consent (in the capacity of a Lender and, if it is a Hedging Bank, in the capacity of a Hedging Bank) and the agreement of each Facility D 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 Hedging Bank 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 36 (Amendments and Waivers) of the Facilities 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.
		
	21.
	Each Facility D Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees (in the capacity of a Lender and, if it is a Hedging Bank, in the capacity of a Hedging Bank) and agrees to procure, unless it is prohibited from doing so, that any of its Affiliates or Related Funds that are Lenders under a Revolving Facility or Hedging Banks acknowledge and agree (in their capacity as Lenders under a Revolving Facility or Hedging Banks, as applicable) that the Facility Agent and/or the Security Trustee (as applicable) may, but shall not be required to, send to the Facility D Lenders any further formal amendment request in connection with all, or any of the proposed amendments set out under paragraph 20 above and the Facility Agent and/or the Security Trustee (as applicable) shall be authorised to consent on behalf of each Facility D Lender, as a Lender under one or more Additional Facilities and as a Hedging Bank under the Intercreditor Agreement, to any such proposed amendments set out under paragraph 20 above (and the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee 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 Hedging Banks, have consented to the relevant amendments and/or waivers or other modifications to the Finance Documents in accordance with Clause 36 (Amendments and Waivers) of the Facilities Agreement and any clause relating to amendments in any other Finance Document.

		
	22.
	Each Facility D Lender hereby waives (in the capacity of a Lender and, if it is a Hedging Bank, in the capacity of a Hedging Bank) and agrees to procure, unless it is prohibited from doing so, that any of its Affiliates or Related Funds that are Lenders under a Revolving Facility or Hedging Banks waive (in their capacity as Lenders under a Revolving Facility or Hedging Banks, as applicable) receipt of any fee in connection with the foregoing consent, notwithstanding that other consenting Lenders under the Facilities Agreement or Hedging Banks under the Intercreditor Agreement may be paid a fee in consideration of such Lenders’ or Hedging Banks’ consent to any or all of the foregoing amendments, waivers or other modifications.

		
	23.

65432822_7

If, after giving effect to 

65432822_7

such elections and adjustments, the requirements of Clause 24.3 (Financial condition) are met, then the requirements under Clause 24.3 (Financial condition) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as at the relevant original date of determination.
		
	(h)
	Where a cure is exercised under this Clause 24.4 in respect of a breach of Clause 24.3 (Financial condition) for any financial quarter and the Company makes an election for a recalculation as described in sub-paragraph (a)(ii) above, the amount of additional equity or the proceeds of any Subordinated Shareholder Loans (as defined in Schedule 16 (Definitions)) that are received by one or more members of the Group shall also be added in calculating EBITDA for any future Ratio Period that includes such financial quarter.
