(A)

by no later than ten (10) Business Days before Completion, agree with the other Seller the applicable arms’ length interest rate to be adopted for the purposes of the Liberty Global Inter-Company Loan Amendment Agreement and the Vodafone Inter-Company Loan Amendment Agreement;

(B)

on a date agreed between the Sellers in writing (or, if not agreed, ten (10) Business Days before Completion), notify the other Seller of the amount of each of its respective Inter-Company Loan Payables as at that date; and

(C)

no later than five Business Days after the receipt of the notifications in sub-clause 6.5(B) (or, if a date is not agreed under sub-clause 6.5(B)), five Business Days prior to Completion) repay or capitalise (or procure the repayment or capitalisation of) all of its Inter-Company Loan Payables, including all Inter-Company Loan Payables which may have arisen since the date of the notices provided in sub-clause (A), except its Agreed Shareholder Debt, so that no Inter-Company Loan Payables except the Agreed Shareholder Debt remain outstanding at Completion.

Following the receipt of a Discussion Notice by the Recipient, the Sellers shall so discuss and cooperate for a period of 15 Business Days. If, at the end of such period, the Sellers have not reached such agreement, the Discussion Notice Sender shall be entitled to issue a notice (a “Capitalisation Notice”) to the Recipient, requiring both Sellers to capitalise (or procure the capitalisation of) their respective Target Groups’ Inter-Company Loan Payables as at the date of the Capitalisation Notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Agreed Shareholder Debt) in full, in which case both Sellers shall capitalise (or procure the capitalisation of)

their respective Target Groups’ Inter-Company Loan Payables as at the date of the Capitalisation Notice in full within five Business Days after receipt by the Recipient of the Capitalisation Notice. For the purposes of this clause 6.7, a “capitalisation” shall constitute a share premium contribution or a settlement in consideration for the issue of ordinary shares, in which case the lender shall procure that those shares will be transferred directly or indirectly to the direct parent of the borrower or an assignment of the relevant loan receivable by the lender directly or indirectly to the relevant direct parent of the borrower followed by settlement by way of a share premium contribution or in consideration for the issue of ordinary shares (or steps with equivalent effect).

6.8

If the Sellers are unable to agree the applicable interest rate that should apply to both the Liberty Global Inter-Company Loan Amendment Agreement and the Vodafone Inter-Company Loan Amendment Agreement by ten (10) Business Days before Completion, either party may issue a Capitalisation Notice in accordance with the procedure set out in clause 6.7 provided that such notice is issued no fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to Completion.

18.3

With respect to each Guarantor, this guarantee is to be a continuing guarantee and accordingly is to remain in force until all the payment obligations of the relevant Seller shall have been performed or satisfied.

The relevant Data Room contains a copy of every (a) Fiscal Unity decree issued by the relevant Tax Authority confirming that a member of the Target Group has entered into to a Fiscal Unity with the Relevant Parent Company, and (b) Tax sharing arrangement (including without limitation any arrangement under which Tax losses or Tax reliefs are surrendered or agreed to be surrendered or claimed) in respect of the profits, gains or losses of that member of the Target Group with any company not being another member of the Target Group.

30.2	Except as provided in the Accounts, no member of the Target Group is, nor will it be, under any obligation to make or have any entitlement to receive any payment in respect of any period ending on or before the Accounts Date under the arrangements referred to in paragraph 30.1 above.

31.	Non-arm’s length transactions

So far as the Seller is aware, no member of the Group is a party to any transaction or arrangement which is not in accordance with the arm’s length principle as adopted in Article 9 of the OECD Model Convention.

Part B – Warranties applicable to Vodafone

1.	Adequacy of mast assets

The Target Group has the right to use each of the mast sites where the Network is located for the purposes for which it is currently used. In the past two years, no incident has occurred which has materially affected the integrity of the mast sites and their related infrastructure.

2.	Network and software

Save as would not have a material adverse effect, the members of the Vodafone Target Group have the right to occupy, use and access such of the Mast Sites as are necessary to operate the business of the Vodafone Target Group and use the Network in all material respects for the purposes for which it is currently used. So far as Vodafone is aware, no circumstances exist which materially compromise such rights to occupy, use and access the Mast Sites as necessary to operate the business of the Vodafone Target Companies (save as would not have a material adverse effect on the operation of the business of the Vodafone Target Group). No written notice has been received by any member of the Vodafone Target Group alleging that it (or any other party) is in breach of any obligations under covenants, conditions and agreements relating to the Mast Sites where the remedying of such breach would have a material adverse effect on the current operation of the business of the Vodafone Target Group. Furthermore, no single agreement pursuant to which the Target Group occupies and uses more than 450 Mast Sites is capable of termination for convenience by the landlord or licensor within 36 months of the date of the Signing Protocol, which would materially compromise the right of the members of the Vodafone Target Group to use the Mast Sites.

3.	Dormant companies

There are no companies in the Vodafone Target Group which are dormant for accounting purposes.

Part C – Warranties applicable to Liberty Global

1.	Tax Status

No member of the Liberty Global Target Group has material uncertain Tax positions (within the meaning of ASC 740-10).

2.	Fiscal Unity

In respect of the Liberty Global Transferred Group, the CIT Fiscal Unity headed by LGE HoldCo VI B.V. neither is, nor has been, part of a wider CIT Fiscal Unity and no request is, or will be, filed to establish a CIT Fiscal Unity with Liberty Global Holding B.V. or any other CIT Fiscal Unity, other than as envisaged and agreed between the parties, and in respect of the Vodafone Transferred Group, the CIT Fiscal Unity headed by Liberty Global Holding B.V. neither is, nor has been, part of a wider CIT Fiscal Unity and no request is, or will be, filed to establish a CIT Fiscal Unity with any other CIT Fiscal Unity. If, at the discretion of Liberty Global, step 2.1 of the Liberty Global pre-Completion Reorganisation will be effectuated and following this step a Fiscal Unity for Dutch corporate income tax purposes will be formed, Newco will not form part of this Fiscal Unity, but this Fiscal Unity will be headed by Liberty Global Target Company and include all of the subsidiaries referred to in step 2.1(C) of the Liberty Global pre-Completion Reorganisation (as well as Ziggo Services New B.V.at any point in time prior to Completion), but excluding any company included in the LGE Holdco VI BV Fiscal Unity at the date of the Signing Protocol. The Fiscal Unity headed by Liberty Global Target Company will, prior to Completion not form part of any larger Fiscal Unity for Dutch corporate income tax purposes.

3.	Network and software

Save as would not have a material adverse effect, the members of the Liberty Global Target Group have the right to use the Liberty Global Cable Network in all material respects for the purposes for which it is currently used. So far as Liberty Global is aware, no circumstances exist which materially compromise such rights to use the Liberty Global Cable Network (save as would not have a material adverse effect on the operation of the business of the Liberty Global Target Group). No written notice has been received by any member of the Liberty Global Target Group alleging that it (or any other party) is in breach of any obligations under covenants, conditions and agreements relating to the Liberty Global Cable Network where the remedying of such breach would have a material adverse effect on the current operation of the business of the Liberty Global Target Group. Furthermore, no single agreement pursuant to which the Target Group is granted rights to use the Liberty Global Cable Network is capable of termination for convenience by the grantor of those rights within 36 months of the date of the Signing Protocol, which would materially compromise the right of the members of the Liberty Global Target Group to use the Liberty Global Cable Network.

For these purposes, “Liberty Global Cable Network” means the assets comprising the physical infrastructure (including head ends and customer service access points and all network components connecting such head ends with customer service access points, including cables, indefeasible rights of use (“IRUs”) with respect to cables, IRUs with respect to capacity and rights of way for cable network) and the logical network (including dense wavelength division multiplexing, Ethernet equipment and all active supporting equipment such as repeaters, nodes, amplifiers, signal re-generators, generators, UPS and IT systems) owned, leased or otherwise used by a Liberty Global Target Company enabling the Liberty Global Target Group to carry on its business.

4.	Dormant companies

Torenspits B.V., Plinius Investments B.V., Breedband Breda B.V., TeleCai Den Haag and Ziggo Deelnemingen B.V. are the only members of the Liberty Global Target Group which are dormant for accounting purposes.

Part D – Warranties applicable to the JV Co Shares

1.	The Purchaser is a newly incorporated, validly existing company under the laws of the Netherlands.

2.	Liberty Global has full legal and beneficial right and title to the JV Co Shares and to all other shares in the share capital of the Purchaser.

3.	The JV Co Shares comprise 50 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of the Purchaser.

There is no option, warrant, convertible or similar right, right to acquire or subscribe for, mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other form of security or encumbrance or equity on, over or affecting any shares in the share capital of the Purchaser (including the JV Co Shares) and there is no agreement or commitment to give or create any and, so far as Liberty Global is aware, no claim has been made by any person to be entitled to any.

6.	The Purchaser has not been engaged in any trading or taken any action other than directly for the purpose of entering into this Agreement and implementing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.	The Purchaser is not in breach of any applicable law or judgment.

1.2

No Seller shall be liable under any of the Tax Covenant in respect of any individual claim (or series of related claims with respect to related facts or circumstances) where the liability agreed or determined in respect of any such claim does not exceed €2,000,000, but once the amount of any such claim against that Seller has exceeded such sum, that Seller shall be liable under the Tax Covenant in respect of the full amount of such claim and not only the amount by which such sum is exceeded.

1.7	Each provision of this Schedule 4 shall be read and construed without prejudice to each of the other provisions of this Schedule 4.

1.8

As regards the Tax Covenant, the provisions of this Schedule 4 shall operate to limit the liability of a Seller in so far as any provision in this Schedule 4 is expressed to be applicable to any claim pursuant to the Tax Covenant and the provisions of the Tax Covenant shall further operate to limit the liability of the Sellers in respect of any claim thereunder or (to the extent stated therein) any claim under the Tax Warranties.

1.9	The financial limitations contained in paragraphs 1.1, 1.3, and 1.4 above shall not apply in respect of any claim under the Fundamental Warranties.

2.	Time limits for bringing claims

(A)

subject to sub-paragraph 2.1(B) of this Schedule 4, on or before the date falling 18 months after the Completion Date; or

(B)

in respect of any claims under the Tax Warranties or the Tax Covenant, not later than the date falling three months after the expiry of the period specified by statute during which an assessment of that liability to Tax may be issued by the relevant Tax Authority or, if there is no such period, on or before the date falling three months after the sixth anniversary of the Completion Date.

3.	No liability for contingent or non-quantifiable claims

If any breach of the Warranties (other than the Tax Warranties) arises by reason of some liability of the relevant Seller’s Target Company, other relevant member of the Seller’s Retained Group or the Purchaser which, at the time such breach or claim is notified to the Seller, is contingent only or otherwise not capable of being quantified, then the Seller shall not be under any obligation to make any payment in respect of such breach or claim unless and until such liability ceases to be contingent or becomes capable of being quantified.

4.	Third party claims and conduct of litigation

4.1	Notification of potential claims

Without prejudice to the obligations of the Purchaser under paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule 4, if the Purchaser or one of the Sellers (as the case may be) becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that is reasonably likely to give rise to a claim against any Seller or one of the Sellers (as the case may be) under any Share Purchase Document for breach of any, the Purchaser or the Seller (as relevant) shall as soon as reasonably practicable give a notice in writing to that Seller (with a copy to the other Seller) of such facts, matters or circumstances as are then available regarding the potential claim. Failure to give notice within such period shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or the Seller (as the case may be) to make a relevant claim under any Share Purchase Document for breach of any Warranty, except that the failure shall be taken into account in determining the liability of the other Seller for such claim to the extent that the notifying Seller establishes that the amount of it is increased, or is not reduced, as a result of such failure.

4.2	Notification of claims under this Agreement

Notices of claims under this Agreement for breach of any Warranty shall be given by the Purchaser to the relevant Seller (with copy to the other Seller) or by one Seller to the other Seller (as the case may be) within the time limits specified in paragraph 2 of this Schedule 4 and shall specify information (giving reasonable detail) in relation to the basis of the claim and setting out the Purchaser’s or Seller’s (as the case may be) estimate of the amount of losses which are, or are to be, the subject of the claim.

4.3	Commencement of Proceedings

Any claim notified pursuant to paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule 4 shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to be irrevocably withdrawn 9 months after the relevant time limit set out in paragraph 2 of this Schedule 4 unless, at the relevant time, legal proceedings in respect of the relevant claim have been commenced by being both issued and served except:

(A)

where the claim relates to a contingent liability, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and served with 9 months of it having become an actual liability; or

(B)

where the claim is a claim for breach of any Warranty of which notice is given for the purposes of paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule 4 at a time when the amount set out in paragraph 1.1 of this Schedule 4 has not been exceeded, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and served within 9 months of the date of any subsequent notification to that Seller pursuant to paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule 4 of one or more claims which result(s) in the total amount claimed in all claims notified to that Seller pursuant to paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule 4 exceeding the amount set out in paragraph 1.1 of this Schedule 4 for the first time.

4.4	Conduct of Third Party Claims

If the matter or circumstance that is reasonably likely to give rise to a claim against a Seller under any Share Purchase Document (excluding the Tax Covenant) for breach of any Warranty (other than a Tax Warranty) is a result of or in connection with a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) then:

(A)

the Purchaser or other Seller shall as soon as reasonably practicable give written notice thereof to that relevant Seller (with copy to the other Seller);

(B)

the Sellers shall procure that the Purchaser shall provide such reasonable information and access during Working Hours to personnel, premises, books, records and documents (including in electronic form but excluding access to legally privileged information or which would result in a breach of applicable law) to the relevant Seller or other member of the relevant Seller’s Retained Group and their professional advisors as the relevant Seller may reasonably request;

(C)

subject to the relevant Seller indemnifying and holding harmless the Purchaser (or, as the case may be, the other Seller) against all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal and professional costs and expenses) that may be suffered or incurred thereby, the relevant Seller shall be entitled to take the sole conduct of such claims, actions or demands as the relevant Seller may deem appropriate in the name of the Purchaser, provided that the relevant Seller has consulted with the Purchaser prior to doing so, and in that connection the shall give or cause to be given to the relevant Seller all such assistance as it may reasonably require in avoiding, disputing, resisting, settling, compromising, defending or appealing any such claim, action or demand and shall instruct such solicitors or other professional advisers as that the relevant Seller or such other member of the relevant Seller’s Retained Group may nominate to act on behalf of the Purchaser, as appropriate, but to act in accordance with the instructions of the relevant Seller or other member of the relevant Seller’s Retained Group;

(D)

the Purchaser shall make no admission of liability, agreement, settlement or compromise with any third party in relation to any such claim, action or demand or adjudication without the prior written consent of the relevant Seller such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

(E)

the relevant Seller shall be entitled at any stage and at its absolute discretion to settle any such third party assessment or claim and shall be under no obligation to notify or consult the Purchaser prior to doing so provided such settlement is without admission of any wrongdoing or liability and without prejudice to the limitations in this Schedule 4; and

(F)

any failure by the Purchaser to comply with the provisions of this paragraph 4.4 shall not prevent any claim by the Purchaser or extinguish any liability of the relevant Seller under the Warranty in question but may be taken into account in calculating any such liability of the relevant Seller to the extent that the relevant Seller establishes that such liability is increased or is not reduced by such failure.

5.	Mitigation

Nothing in this Agreement restricts or limits the general obligation at law of each of the Purchaser and each Target Company to mitigate any loss or damage which it may suffer or incur as a consequence of any breach of Warranty.

6.	Recovery from Insurers and other Third Parties

6.1

If, in respect of any matter which would give rise to a claim under the Warranties, any member of the Purchaser’s Group or relevant Seller’s Retained Group (as the case may be) is or may be entitled to claim under any policy of insurance in respect of any matter or event that is likely to give rise to a claim, then no such matter shall be the subject of a

claim under the Warranties unless and until the appropriate member of the Purchaser’s Group or relevant Seller’s Retained Group (as the case may be) shall have made a claim against its insurers and used reasonable endeavours to pursue such claim. If the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group shall recover any amount from such insurance claim, the amount of the claim against the Seller shall be reduced by the amount so recovered (less (i) all reasonable costs of recovery, (ii) any Tax thereon, and (iii) any directly related increase in the future premiums payable for such insurance).

6.2

Where any member of the Purchaser’s Group or relevant Seller’s Retained Group (as the case may be) is at any time entitled to recover from a third party (other than an insurer under an insurance policy referred to under paragraph 6.1) any sum in respect of any matter giving rise to a claim under the Warranties, the Purchaser or Seller shall, and shall procure that the relevant member of its Group or Retained Group (as the case may be) shall, take reasonable steps to enforce such recovery. If any member of the Purchaser’s Group or relevant Seller’s Retained Group (as the case may be) shall recover any amount from such other person, the amount of the claim against the relevant Seller shall be reduced by the amount so recovered (less (i) all reasonable costs of recovery and (ii) any Tax thereon).

6.3

If a Seller has paid an amount in discharge of any claim against that Seller under this Agreement for breach of any Warranty and subsequently any member of the Purchaser’s Group or relevant Seller’s Retained Group (as the case may be) recovers (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies and holds harmless or compensates any member of the Purchaser’s Group or relevant Seller’s Retained Group (as the case may be) (in whole or in part) in respect of the loss or liability which is the subject matter of the claim, the Purchaser or the other Seller (as the case may be) shall pay to the relevant Seller as soon as practicable after receipt an amount equal to (i) the sum recovered from the third party less any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and less any Tax payable on any amounts recovered (or Tax that would have been payable on such amounts but for the availability of any Tax relief), or if less (ii) the amount previously paid by such Seller to the Purchaser or other Seller.

7.	Matters provided for or taken into account in adjustments

7.1	No matter shall be the subject of a claim under the Warranties (other than the Tax Warranties) to the extent that:

(A)

express allowance, provision or reserve in respect of such matter shall have been made in the Accounts; or

(B)

a Completion Statement or any consequent adjustment to the Initial Vodafone Equalisation Consideration expressly provides for such matter.

8.	Purchaser’s and other Seller’s knowledge

8.1

The knowledge or awareness of the Purchaser or any of its officers, employees, advisers or agents in respect of any fact, matter or circumstance that could form the basis of a claim under the Warranties shall not preclude the Purchaser from making a claim against Liberty Global for breach of the Warranties.

8.2

A Seller shall not be liable under the Warranties in relation to any matter where (a) the fact, matter or circumstance underlying such breach of Warranty; and (b) the existence of the breach of such Warranty are within the actual knowledge of the other Seller on or before the date of the Signing Protocol. For these purposes the awareness of each Seller shall be limited to the actual knowledge of the individuals listed in sub-clause 10.6.

9.	Claims only to be brought under relevant Warranties.

9.1	The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the only Warranties given in relation to Taxation or any related claims, liabilities or other matters (“Tax Matters”) are the Tax Warranties and no other Warranty is given in relation to Tax Matters.

Each Seller shall notify the other in writing (a “Completion Statement Notice”) within 45 days after receipt of the other Seller’s draft Completion Statement whether or not it accepts the other Seller’s draft Completion Statement for the purposes of this Agreement.

Except for the matters specifically set out in the Completion Statement Notice, the Rejecting Party shall be deemed to have agreed the Preparing Party’s draft Completion Statement in full.

If the Rejecting Party serves a Completion Statement Notice in accordance with paragraph 2 above, stating in the Completion Statement Notice that the Rejecting Party does not accept the Completion Statement, the Preparing Party and the Rejecting Party shall use all reasonable endeavours to meet and discuss the objections of the Rejecting Party and to agree the adjustments (if any) required to be made to the Preparing Party’s draft Completion Statement, in each case within 30 days after receipt by the Preparing Party of the Completion Statement Notice.

5.2

following delivery of their respective submissions, the Rejecting Party and the Preparing Party shall each have the opportunity to comment once only on the other’s submission by written comment delivered to the Firm not later than 10 days after receipt of the other’s submission and, thereafter, neither the Preparing Party nor the Rejecting Party shall be entitled to make further statements or submissions except insofar as the Firm so requests (in which case it shall, on each occasion, give the other party (unless otherwise directed) 10 days to respond to any statements or submission so made);

5.3

in giving its determination, the Firm shall state what adjustments (if any) are necessary, solely for the purposes of this Agreement, to the draft Completion Statement in respect of the matters in dispute in order to comply with the requirements of this Agreement and to determine finally the Completion Statement; and

5.4

the Firm shall act as an expert (and not as an arbitrator) in making its determination which shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the parties and, without prejudice to any other rights which they may respectively have under this Agreement, the parties expressly waive, to the extent permitted by law, any rights of recourse they may otherwise have to challenge it.

The Sellers shall each be responsible for their own costs in connection with the preparation, review and agreement or determination of the draft Completion Statements. The fees and expenses of the Firm shall be borne equally between the Sellers or in such other proportions as the Firm shall determine.

To enable the Sellers to each meet their obligations under this Schedule 10, the Purchaser shall provide to each Seller and its respective accountants full access to the accounting, financial, Tax or other Books and Records, employees and premises of the members of the Target Groups, as applicable, and, where relevant, of the Purchaser for the period from Completion to the date that the draft Completion Statement is agreed or determined. The Purchaser shall co-operate fully with the Sellers and shall permit the Sellers and/or their respective representatives to take copies (including electronic copies) of the relevant Books and Records and shall provide all assistance reasonably requested by the Sellers to facilitate the preparation of the Completion Statements.

114

submissions by or on behalf of the Rejecting Party in relation to the Preparing Party’s Completion Statement. When the Completion Statements have been agreed or determined in accordance with the preceding paragraphs, then the amounts shown in the Completion Statements as the Net Debt and Working Capital for the relevant Target Group shall be final and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.
