(7) any Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement outstanding on the Signing Date and any Indebtedness deemed to have been advanced pursuant to Clause 4.1 (Deemed Utilisations) of this Agreement and deemed to have been on-lent under the Proceeds Loan Agreement on the Signing Date will be deemed to have been Incurred under clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) on the Signing Date, in each case, subject to any reclassification in accordance with Section 4.09(d)(1).

(e) Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and increases in the amount of Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness.

(f) If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date.

(g) For purposes of determining compliance with any euro-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the Euro Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be (1) calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower Euro Equivalent), in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable euro-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such euro-dominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced; and (2) if and for so long as any such Indebtedness is subject to an agreement intended to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated covering principal and interest on such Indebtedness, the swapped rate of such Indebtedness as of the date of the applicable swap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(h) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.09(b), the Euro Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (if such Indebtedness has not been swapped into euros, or if such Indebtedness has been swapped into a currency other than euros) shall be calculated using the same weighted average exchange rates for the relevant period used in the consolidated financial statements of the Reporting Entity for calculating the Euro Equivalent of Consolidated EBITDA denominated in the same currency as the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated or into which it has been swapped.

4.10 Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock

(e) To the extent that the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party is not required to make an Excess Proceeds Redemption Offer, the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party shall procure that the Excess Proceeds are applied in prepayment of the Outstandings plus accrued and unpaid interest under one or more Facilities selected by the Company.

59836545_7

(5) for so long as it is not permissible under applicable law for a Restricted Subsidiary to become a guarantor, such Restricted Subsidiary need not become a guarantor (but, in such a case, each of the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party and the Restricted Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal prohibition precluding the giving of the guarantee and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant legal prohibition, and shall give such guarantee at such time (and to the extent) that it thereafter becomes permissible).

(b) Section 4.15(a) shall not apply to: (1) the granting by such Restricted Subsidiary of a Permitted Lien under circumstances which do not otherwise constitute the guarantee of Indebtedness of the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party or a Restricted Subsidiary; or (2) the guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness that refinances Indebtedness which benefited from a guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred in compliance with this covenant immediately prior to such refinancing.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any guarantee of the Proceeds Loans created pursuant to the provisions described in Section 4.15(a) shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the occurrence of any events described in clauses (1) through (10) under Section 1.03 (Release of the Proceeds Loan Guarantees) of Schedule 20 (Releases).

Section 4.25 Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Status

If, during any period after the Signing Date, the Facilities have achieved and continue to maintain Investment Grade Status and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such period hereinafter referred to as an “Investment Grade Status Period”), then the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party, the SPV Borrower or the US SPV Borrower will notify the Facility Agent of this fact and beginning on such date, the covenants in this Agreement described under Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Clause 14.1 and the provisions of Section 5.01(a)(3) and any related default provisions of this Agreement will be suspended and will not, during such Investment Grade Status Period, be applicable to the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party and the Restricted Subsidiaries (or, with respect to Clause 14.1 (Change of Control), the SPV Borrower or the US SPV Borrower). No action taken during an Investment Grade Status Period or prior to an Investment Grade Status Period in compliance with the covenants then applicable will require reversal or constitute a default under the Covenant Agreement or this Agreement in the event that suspended covenants are subsequently reinstated or suspended, as the case may be. An Investment Grade Status Period will terminate immediately upon the failure of the Facilities to maintain Investment Grade Status (the “Reinstatement Date”). The Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party, the SPV Borrower or the US SPV Borrower will promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing of any failure of the Facilities to maintain Investment Grade Status and the Reinstatement Date.

Section 4.26 Limited Condition Transaction

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of the Indenture which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party has exercised its option under the first sentence of this paragraph, and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date such definitive agreement for a Limited Condition Transaction is entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of

59836545_7

determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction for purposes of:

(1) determining compliance with any provision of the Indenture which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio; or

(2) testing baskets set forth in the Indenture (including baskets measured as a percentage or multiple, as applicable, of Total Assets or Pro forma EBITDA);

in each case, at the option of the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party (the Company’s , UPC NL Holdco’s or an Affiliate Covenant Party’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”); provided, however, that the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party shall be entitled to subsequently elect, in its sole discretion, the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction instead of the LCT Test Date as the applicable date of determination, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of “Pro forma EBITDA” and “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio”, the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party or any Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

If the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Pro forma EBITDA or Total Assets, of the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party and the Restricted Subsidiaries or the Person or assets subject to the Limited Condition Transaction (as at each reference to the “Company”, “UPC NL Holdco”, or “Affiliate Covenant Party”, as applicable), in such definition was to such Person or assets) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability under the Indenture (including with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Asset Dispositions, acquisitions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party, or any Restricted Subsidiary or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming

59836545_7

such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

Section 5.01 Merger and Consolidation

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(3) either (a) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, the Company, UPC NL Holdco and an Affiliate Covenant Party, or such Successor Company, would be able to Incur at least an additional €1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(b) or (b) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of the Company, UPC NL Holdco and an Affiliate Covenant Party, or such Successor Company, would be no greater than that of the Company, UPC NL Holdco and an Affiliate Covenant Party immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction; and

(4) the Company shall have delivered to the Facility Agent an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and the Accession Notice (if any) comply with this Agreement; provided that in giving such opinion, such counsel may rely on an Officers’ Certificate as to compliance with Section 5.01(b)(2) and Section 5.01(b)(3) above and as to any matters of fact.

(c) No Covenant Party (other than the Proceeds Loan Borrowers) will consolidate with, or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of their assets to, any Person, other than a Covenant Party (other than in connection with a transaction that does not constitute an Asset Disposition or a transaction that is permitted under Section 4.10), unless:

(B) the Net Cash Proceeds of such transaction are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(d) For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, one or more Subsidiaries of UPC NL Holdco or one or more Subsidiaries of an Affiliate Covenant Party (as applicable), which properties and assets, if held by the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party (as applicable) instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party (as applicable) on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party (as applicable).

(e) The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party (as applicable) under this Agreement, and upon such substitution, the predecessor Company will be released from its obligations under this Agreement, but, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor company will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Proceeds Loans.

(f) The provisions set forth in this Section 5.01 shall not restrict (and shall not apply to): (i) any merger, consolidation or transfer of assets reasonably required to effect or consummate any Related Transaction (provided that, for the purposes of this clause (i), Section 5.01(b)(1) shall apply to any such transaction), (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary (a “Merging Subsidiary”) from consolidating with, merging or liquidating into or transferring all or substantially all of its properties and assets to the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party or any other Restricted Subsidiary provided that, for the purposes of this clause (ii), Section 5.01(b)(1) and Section 5.01(c)(2) shall apply to any Merging Subsidiary that is a Proceeds Loan Borrower or a Covenant Party, as applicable and (iii) the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party consolidating into or merging or combining with an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of changing the legal domicile of such entity, reincorporating such entity in another jurisdiction, or changing the legal form of such entity, provided that, for the purposes of this clause (iii), Section 5.01(b)(1), Section 5.01(b)(2), Section 5.01(b)(4), Section 5.01(c)(1) and Section 5.01(c)(2) shall apply to any such transaction.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this covenant:

(1) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and Section 4.09(b), the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses of Section 4.09(a) or in Section 4.09(b) and will be permitted on the date of such Incurrence to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) or in Section 4.09(b), and, from time to time, may reclassify all or a portion of such Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09;

59836545_7

(6) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and

(d) Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and increases in the amount of Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness.

(e) If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date.

(f) For purposes of determining compliance with any euro-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the Euro Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness

59836545_7

denominated in a foreign currency shall be (1) calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower Euro Equivalent), in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable euro-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such euro-dominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced; and (2) if and for so long as any such Indebtedness is subject to an agreement intended to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated covering principal and interest on such Indebtedness, the swapped rate of such Indebtedness as of the date of the applicable swap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(g) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.09(a), the Euro Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (if such Indebtedness has not been swapped into euros, or if such Indebtedness has been swapped into a currency other than euros) shall be calculated using the same weighted average exchange rates for the relevant period used in the consolidated financial statements of the Reporting Entity for calculating the Euro Equivalent of Consolidated EBITDA denominated in the same currency as the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated or into which it has been swapped.

Section 4.10 Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock

(a) The Company, UPC NL Holdco and an Affiliate Covenant Party will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition unless:

59836545_7

Affiliate Covenant Party or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; and

(A) to the extent the Company, UPC NL Holdco, any Affiliate Covenant Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness), to prepay, repay or purchase Senior Indebtedness of the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party or any other Obligor, or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Obligor (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party or an Affiliate of the Company) within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (A), the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party such Obligor or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment (if any) (except in the case of any revolving Indebtedness) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; or

provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (A) or clause (B) of this Section 4.10(a)(3), the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party and the Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement.

(b) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested or committed to be applied as provided in Section 4.10(a)(3) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”.

(c) To the extent that the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party is required pursuant to the terms of the Indentures (or any similar terms in an instrument or agreement governing Senior Indebtedness other than the Finance Documents) to make an offer to redeem or prepay the Indebtedness thereunder (an “Excess Proceeds Redemption Offer”),

59836545_7

then the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party shall include the Outstandings under the Facilities in such offer to prepay (and shall provide notice of such offer to the Facility Agent), such that a portion of the Excess Proceeds (the “Prepayment Amount”) that is equivalent to the proportion that the aggregate amount of the Outstandings under the Facilities bears to the aggregate principal amount of other Senior Indebtedness is available to be applied and is so applied in prepayment of the Outstandings plus accrued and unpaid interest owed to each Lender under the Facilities (to the extent that such Lender accepts any such offer of prepayment).

(d) To the extent that the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party is not required to make an Excess Proceeds Redemption Offer, the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party shall procure that the Excess Proceeds are applied in prepayment of the Outstandings plus accrued and unpaid interest under one or more Facilities selected by the Company.

(e) Following compliance with the requirements of paragraph (d) and (e), the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) For the purposes of this Section 4.10, the following will be deemed to be cash:

(1) the assumption by the transferee of Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Obligations) of the Company, UPC NL Holdco, or an Affiliate Covenant Party or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition (in which case the Company will, without further action, be deemed to have applied such deemed cash to Indebtedness in accordance with Section 4.10(a)(3)(A));

(4) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party or any Restricted Subsidiary;

59836545_7

(6) in addition to any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to clause (5) of Section 4.10(f), Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company, UPC NL Holdco, an Affiliate Covenant Party or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Dispositions having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (6) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of €120.0 million and 5.0% of Total Assets (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

Section 4.11 Limitation on Affiliate Transactions

(a) The Company, UPC NL Holdco and an Affiliate Covenant Party will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company, UPC NL Holdco, or an Affiliate Covenant Party (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of €15.0 million for such Affiliate Transactions in any fiscal year, unless:

Section 4.12 Limitation on Liens

(a) The Company, UPC NL Holdco and an Affiliate Covenant Party will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries), whether owned on the date of this Agreement or acquired after that date, except (1) in the case of any property or asset that does not constitute Collateral, Permitted Liens, and (2) in the case of any property or asset that constitutes Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (i) a Lien need not be Incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens or Permitted Collateral Liens, as applicable, but may be Incurred under any combination of such categories (including in part under one such category and in part under any other such category) and (ii) in the event that a Lien (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of such categories of Permitted Liens or Permitted Collateral Liens, as applicable, the Company, UPC NL Holdco or an Affiliate Covenant Party shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or may subsequently reclassify at any time such Lien (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.12 and the definition of “Permitted Liens” or “Permitted Collateral Liens”, as applicable.

(3) if the Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Facilities, any such guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the guarantees of the Facilities substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Facilities;

Covenant Party and the Restricted Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal prohibition precluding the giving of the guarantee and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant legal prohibition, and shall give such guarantee at such time (and to the extent) that it thereafter becomes permissible).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any guarantee of the Facilities created pursuant to the provisions described in Section 4.15(a) shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the occurrence of any events described in clauses (1) through (12) under Section 1.01 (Release of the Guarantees) of Schedule 23 (Post Fold-In Events of Default).
