The CCO Issuers, CCOH and the Subsidiary Guarantors may be required to provide a shelf registration statement to cover resales of one or more series of the CCO Notes under certain circumstances. If the foregoing obligations are not satisfied with respect to any series of the CCO Notes, the CCO Issuers, CCOH and the Subsidiary Guarantors may be required to pay holders of the CCO Notes of such series additional interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount thereof for 90 days immediately following the occurrence of any registration default.

The CCOH Issuers may be required to provide a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the CCOH Notes under certain circumstances. If the foregoing obligations are not satisfied, the CCOH Issuers may be required to pay holders of the CCOH Notes additional interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount thereof for 90 days immediately following the occurrence of any registration default. Thereafter, the amount of additional interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum of the principal amount thereof to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount thereof until all registration defaults have been cured.

Escrow Assumption Agreement, Incremental Activation Notice and Restatement Agreement

On the Escrow Release Date, CCO Safari III merged with and into CCO. In connection therewith, CCO and CCO Safari III entered into the Escrow Assumption Agreement (the “Escrow Assumption Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, providing for the assumption by CCO of CCO Safari III’s obligations with respect to the Term H/I Loans under the Escrow Credit Agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers and the Bright House Transaction, CCO also executed an Incremental Activation Notice (the “Notice”) under the Existing Credit Agreement. The Notice (i) replaced the existing Term A-1 Loan Commitments and established a new tranche of Term A Loan Commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $2,637,500,000 and was fully drawn on May 18, 2016 (the “Term A Loans”) and (ii) replaced the existing Revolving Commitments with New Revolving Commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000,000 (the “New Revolving Commitments” and the loans thereunder the “New Revolving Loans”). The Term A Loans were used to prepay and terminate CCO’s existing Term A-1 Loans and to pay amounts, fees and expenses in connection with the Mergers and the Bright House Transaction. Amounts drawn under the New Revolving Commitments to date were used to pay transaction related amounts, fees and expenses or are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

The maturity date of all Term A Loans is May 18, 2021. Term A Loans will, at the option of CCO, bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.00% or ABR plus 1.00%, as applicable. The termination date of the New Revolving Commitments established under the Notice is May 18, 2021 and all loans outstanding under the New Revolving Commitments, if any, will be due and payable at such time.

The changes to the Existing Credit Agreement include, among other things, changes and increases to certain exceptions under the negative covenants and the thresholds for certain events of default, certain modifications to provide that certain previously existing hedge agreements entered into by TWC will be equally and ratably secured with the collateral under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and certain other modifications. Additional provisions have also been amended to accommodate the transactions contemplated by the Notice. The changes to the existing Guarantee and Collateral Agreement include, among other things, amendments to permit the grant of a security interest in the collateral to secure the obligations in respect of the TWCE Securities and the TWC Securities (collectively, the “Equally and Ratably Secured Notes Obligations”) on a pari passu basis

Notes Collateral Agreement

On the Escrow Release Date, the CCO Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a collateral agreement (the “Collateral Agreement”) in favor of the Collateral Agent, providing for the creation of a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, the holders of the CCO Notes and the Trustee in the collateral securing the CCO Notes and including provisions by which collateral is released, including, without limitation, releases effective upon the release of collateral under other indebtedness. The obligations under the CCO Notes are secured by (i) a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of CCO and the Subsidiary Guarantors, to the extent such lien can be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code by the filing of a financing statement and (ii) a pledge by the CCO Issuers of the equity interests owned by it in any of the CCO Issuers’ subsidiaries, subject to certain limited exceptions, as well as certain intercompany obligations. The obligations under the CCO Notes are secured on a pari passu basis with the obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Equally and Ratably Secured Notes Obligations.
