AMENDMENTS
Section 2.1 Terms and Conditions.
(a) For all purposes of the Indenture, this Third Supplemental Indenture and the Securities,
the definitions of the following terms in Section 1.1 of the Amended Indenture are amended and
restated to read in full as follows:
“Conversion Price” has the meaning specified in the Securities, as adjusted from time to time
in accordance with this Indenture. As of the date of the Third
3
Supplemental Indenture, the Conversion Price specified in the Securities has been adjusted to
€45.2719 per share of Series A Common Stock in accordance with Section 12.12 and shall remain
€45.2719 per share of Series A Common Stock until further adjusted in accordance with this
Indenture.
“Current Market Price,” for purposes of Section 12.5, means the average of the Closing Sale
Prices for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending immediately preceding the day before the Event
Record Date (or, if earlier, the Ex-Dividend Date) with respect to any dividend, distribution,
issuance or other transaction or event requiring such computation.
(b) For all purposes of the Indenture and the Securities, Section 1.1 of the Amended Indenture
is amended by adding the following defined terms:
“Adjusted Conversion Value” of a Security means, on any date of determination, the sum of (i)
the product of (a) the Closing Sale Price on such date multiplied by the Currency Rate on such date
and (b) the number of shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of €1,000 in
principal amount of the Securities on such date (which will equal €1,000 divided by the then
applicable Conversion Price) plus (ii) the product of (a) the Series C Closing Sale Price on such
date multiplied by the Currency Rate on such date and (b) the Series C Dividend Shares Amount
deliverable upon conversion of €1,000 in principal amount of the Securities on such date.
“Adjusted Trading Price” of the Securities means, on any date of determination, the average of
the secondary market bid quotations per €1,000 principal amount of Securities obtained by the
Conversion Agent at the request of the Company for €5,000,000 principal amount of Securities at
approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such determination date from three independent
nationally recognized securities dealers the Company selects; provided, that if at least three such
bids cannot reasonably be obtained by the Conversion Agent, but two such bids can reasonably be
obtained, then the average of these two bids shall be used; provided, further, that if at least two
such bids cannot reasonably be obtained, but one such bid can reasonably be obtained, this one bid
shall be used. If the Conversion Agent cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for €5,000,000
principal amount of the Securities from a nationally recognized securities dealer or, in the
Company’s reasonable judgment, the bid quotations are not indicative of the secondary market value
of the Securities, then the Adjusted Trading Price of the Securities will equal the sum of (a) the
product of (x) the number of shares of Series A Common Stock into which €1,000 principal amount of
the Securities is convertible on such date of determination, and (y) the average Closing Sale Price
for the five Combined Trading Days ending on such determination date multiplied by the Currency
Rate on such determination date, plus (b) the product of (x) the Series C Dividend Shares Amount
deliverable upon conversion of €1,000 principal amount of the Securities on such date of
determination, and (y) the average Series C Closing Sale Price for the five Combined Trading Days
ending on such determination date multiplied by the Currency Rate on such determination date.
“Combined Closing Sale Price” means, on any date of determination, the sum of (i) the Closing
Sale Price on such date and (ii) the Series C Closing Sale Price on such date.
4
“Combined Trading Day” means a day which is both a Trading Day and a Series C Trading Day.
“Series C Common Stock” means the Series C common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Liberty
Global, as it exists on the Series C Stock Dividend Record Date.
“Series C Closing Sale Price” means, on any date of determination, the closing per share sale
price (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more
than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) of the Series C
Common Stock on such date on the Nasdaq National Market as reported by the Nasdaq National Market,
or if the shares are not then quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, on the principal United States
securities exchange on which the Series C Common Stock is listed, as reported in composite
transactions, or, if the Series C Common Stock is not listed on a United States securities
exchange, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization. In
absence of such a quotation, the Company’s determination in good faith of the sale price for the
Series C Common Stock on any basis it considers appropriate shall be the “Series C Closing Sale
Price.”
“Series C Dividend Shares Amount,” when used with respect to a principal amount of Securities,
means the number of whole shares of Series C Common Stock which a Holder would have received as a
result of the Series C Stock Dividend had such Holder converted such principal amount into shares
of Series A Common Stock immediately prior to the Series C Stock Dividend Record Date (and such
Holder continued to own such shares of Series A Common Stock received upon conversion as of the
Ex-Dividend Date for the Series C Stock Dividend), as such number of shares may be adjusted from
time to time pursuant to the Indenture.

either the Nasdaq National Market (or, if applicable, such other market) in its entirety or only
the shares of Series C Common Stock (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by
the relevant market on which the shares are traded or otherwise) or on which the Nasdaq National
Market (or, if applicable, such other market) cannot clear the transfer of shares of Series C
Common Stock due to an event beyond Liberty Global’s control.

for their Series A Common Stock” immediately after the word “rights)” in the fifth line of
paragraph (5), deleting the period at the end of paragraph (5) and substituting therefore a
semi-colon and the word “or”, and inserting the following new paragraphs (6) and (7):
(6) during any Quarter commencing after the Series C Stock Dividend Record Date, if (i)

Trading Day and (B) the Holder has surrendered the Holder’s Securities for conversion during
the following Quarter; or

for each Combined Trading Day of such period was less than 100% of the Adjusted Conversion
Value of the Securities on the same Combined Trading Day and (B) the Holder has surrendered
the Holder’s Securities for conversion during such five consecutive Combined Trading Day
period prior to the close of business on that fifth Combined Trading Day.
(b) Section 12.1(b) is amended by inserting the words “with the cooperation of the Company
and” after the words “the Conversion Agent shall,” in paragraph (1) thereof and inserting after
paragraph (4) the following new paragraphs (5) and (6):
(5) In connection with Section 12.1(a)(6), at the end of each Quarter the Conversion
Agent shall, with the cooperation of the Company and on the Company’s behalf, determine
whether the Securities are convertible in the subsequent Quarter pursuant to Section
12.1(a)(6), and promptly notify the Holders in the manner provided for in Section 1.5 if the
Securities are convertible.
(6) In connection with Section 12.1(a)(7), the Conversion Agent shall, on the Company’s
behalf and on Company Request, determine the Adjusted Trading Price of the Securities and
whether the Securities are convertible pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(7), and promptly notify
the Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.5 if the Securities are convertible. The
Company shall have no obligation to make such Company Request to the Conversion Agent,
unless one or more Holders of Securities shall have provided the Company with reasonable
evidence that the Adjusted Trading Price of the Securities is less than 100% of the Adjusted
Conversion Value of the Securities; at which time the Company shall instruct the Conversion
Agent to determine
6
the Adjusted Trading Price of the Securities beginning on the Combined Trading Day
immediately following the Combined Trading Day on which the Company shall have been provided
such evidence and on each successive Combined Trading Day until the Adjusted Trading Price
of the Securities is equal to or greater than 100% of the Adjusted Conversion Value of the
Securities.
(c) Section 12.2(a) is amended by inserting the following paragraph at the end thereof:
The Series C Dividend Shares Amount shall be based on the total principal amount of
Securities surrendered for conversion by a Holder for such Conversion Date, and the name(s)
in which the certificate(s) for shares of Series C Common Stock are issued, and the
address(es) to which such certificate(s) are delivered, shall be the same as those stated in
the Conversion Notice for the shares of Series A Common Stock that may be issued upon such
conversion.
(d) Section 12.3(a) is amended by inserting the following paragraph at the end thereof:
Subject to the provisions of Article 12 (including, without limitation, the provisions
of Section 12.1) and paragraph 8 of the Securities, a Holder, upon conversion of its
Securities, shall be entitled to receive from the Company the Series C Dividend Shares
Amount attributable to the principal amount of such Securities so converted, in addition to
the shares of Series A Common Stock, cash, or combination of cash and shares of Series A
Common Stock delivered by the Company to such Holder upon such conversion in satisfaction of
the Company’s Conversion Obligation.
(e) Section 12.3(b) is amended by inserting the following sentence at the end thereof:

Securities shall be delivered at the same time as the Company effects delivery under the
Settlement Method elected by the Company.

(g) The provisions of Sections 12.3(c), (d) and (f), insofar as they apply to shares of

C Dividend Shares Amount deliverable to such Holder.
(g) Section 12.4 is amended by inserting the following paragraph at the end thereof:
Liberty Global will not issue, and the Company will not deliver, fractional shares of
Series C Common Stock upon conversion of Securities. If, as a result of an adjustment to
the Series C Dividend Shares Amount pursuant to Section 12.5(h), a
7
Holder would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share interest, the Company shall
pay cash in lieu of such fractional share interest. The amount of cash in lieu to be paid,
if any, shall be determined by multiplying (a) the product of the Series C Closing Sale
Price on the Series C Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date and the Currency
Rate on such Series C Trading Day by (b) such fractional share interest, and rounding the
product to the nearest whole Euro cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.
(h) Section 12.5(d)(1) is amended by restating the third sentence thereof to read in its
entirety as follows:
If the Board of Directors of the Company determines the fair market value of any
distribution for purposes of this Section 12.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued
trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market
over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price; provided, that if the
Distributed Securities are a new issue of securities and will not have been traded for at
least 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the day before the Event Record Date
(or, if earlier, the Ex-Dividend Date) for such distribution, then the Board of Directors
may determine the fair market value of such distribution by reference to the actual or when
issued trading market for such securities over such period of time as the Board of
Directors deems appropriate under the circumstances.
(i) Section 12.5(g) is amended by inserting the words “or Series C Dividend Shares Amount, as
applicable,” after the words “Conversion Price” each place the latter words appear in Section
12.5(g)(3) and inserting after paragraph (5) thereof the following new paragraphs (6) and (7):
(6) Subject to compliance with applicable stockholder approval rules set forth in Rule
4350 of the Nasdaq Market Place Rules, if applicable, and to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Company may make such increases in the Series C Dividend Shares Amount,
in addition to any adjustments required by this Section 12.5, as the Board of Directors of
the Company considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of
Series C Common Stock or rights to purchase Series C Common Stock in connection with any
dividend or distribution of stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
(7) For purposes of this Section 12.5, the number of shares of Series C Common Stock at
any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Liberty Global but
shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions
of shares of Series C Common Stock so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make
any distribution on shares of Series C Common Stock held in the treasury of Liberty Global.
(j) Section 12.5 is amended by inserting the following paragraph (h) at the end thereof:
(h) If Liberty Global shall, at any time or from to time, while any of the Securities
are Outstanding, take any action of the type described in Section 12.5(a),
8
(b), (c), (d) or (f) with respect to the Series C Common Stock which if taken with respect
to the Series A Common Stock would have required an adjustment to the Conversion Price, then
the Company shall effect an adjustment to the Series C Dividend Shares Amount so as to
approximate, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors, the adjustment
contemplated by Section 12.5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (f), in each case taking into account the
difference between a share adjustment and a price adjustment. An adjustment to the Series C
Dividend Shares Amount made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall become effective on the
date that such adjustment would have become effective had it been made to the Conversion
Price (and, if the Conversion Price would have been readjusted as contemplated by Section
12.5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (f), then the Series C Dividend Shares Amount shall be readjusted
so as to approximate, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors, the readjustment
of the Conversion Price contemplated by Section 12.5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (f), in each case
taking into account the difference between a share adjustment and a price adjustment). In
addition, in case Liberty Global declares a dividend or distribution to all holders of
Series C Common Stock of cash, then the Company shall effect an adjustment to the Series C
Dividend Shares Amount so as to approximate, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of
Directors, the adjustment of the Conversion Price contemplated by Section 12.5(e), taking
into account the difference between a share adjustment and a price adjustment; provided,
that an adjustment to the Series C Dividend Shares Amount shall be made pursuant to this
Section 12.5(h) in respect of such dividend or distribution only to the extent that, after
giving effect to such adjustment, the Series C Dividend Shares Amount per €1,000 principal
amount shall not exceed the product of (x) the initial Series C Dividend Shares Amount per
€1,000 principal amount and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the initial
Conversion Price and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Floor (the “Series C
Dividend Shares Amount Ceiling”, which Series C Dividend Shares Amount Ceiling shall be
adjusted only upon the occurrence of the events and in the manner described in Sections
12.5(a) and 12.5(b), in each case, as such sections apply to the Series C Common Stock
pursuant to Section 12.5(h)). An adjustment to the Series C Dividend Shares Amount made
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall become effective on the date that such adjustment
would have become effective had it been made to the Conversion Price. If such dividend or
distribution of cash is not so paid or made, the Series C Dividend Shares Amount shall again
be adjusted to the Series C Dividend Shares Amount that would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared. In any case in which an adjustment to the
Series C Dividend Shares Amount pursuant to this Section 12.5(h) is to become effective
immediately after the record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence
of such event (A) delivering to the Holder of any Securities converted after such record
date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Series C Common Stock
deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event to the
Series C Dividend Shares Amount over and above the shares of Series C Common Stock
deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to
such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share of Series C Common Stock
pursuant to Section 12.4.
(k) Section 12.6 is amended by inserting “(a)” prior to the words “Notwithstanding anything”
in the first sentence of such section, renumbering clauses (a), (b), (c)
9
and (d) of such section as (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), respectively, deleting clause (e)
thereof in its entirety and inserting the following Sections 12.6(b) and 12.6(c):
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no adjustments to the Series C
Dividend Shares Amount shall be made in the following circumstances.
(i) No adjustment to the Series C Dividend Shares Amount shall be required
unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent
in the Series C Dividend Shares Amount as last adjusted; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section 12.6(b) are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All
calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth of a
share.
(ii) No adjustment need be made to the Series C Dividend Shares Amount for a
transaction referred to in Section 12.5, if Holders are to participate in the
transaction on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors of the Company
determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which
holders of Series C Common Stock participate in the transaction. Such participation
by Holders may include participation upon conversion; provided, that an adjustment
shall be made at such time as the Holders are no longer entitled to participate.
(iii) No adjustment need be made to the Series C Dividend Shares Amount for
rights to purchase Series C Common Stock or issuances of Series C Common Stock
pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest.
(iv) No adjustment need be made to the Series C Dividend Shares Amount for a
change in the par value, a change from par value to no par value or a change from no
par value to par value of the Series C Common Stock.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the Securities
become convertible into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash.
Interest will not accrue on the cash.
(l) Section 12.7 is amended by inserting the words “or Series C Common Stock” immediately
after the words “Series A Common Stock” each place the latter words appear in Section 12.7.
(m) Section 12.8 is amended by inserting after paragraph (c) the following new paragraphs (d),
(e) and (f):
(d) Liberty Global shall, prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for the Series C Stock
Dividend, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but
unissued Series C Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Series C Common Stock to
satisfy the Company’s obligation to deliver the Series C Dividend Shares Amount upon the
conversion of all outstanding Securities.
10
(e) All shares of Series C Common Stock delivered as part of the Series C Dividend
Shares Amount upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly issued shares or treasury
shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be
free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.
(f) Liberty Global will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state
securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Series C Common Stock upon
conversion of Securities and will cause such shares to be quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market or other over-the-counter market or such other market on which the Series C Common
Stock is then listed or quoted, if any; provided, however, that if rules of such automated
quotation system or exchange permit Liberty Global to defer the listing of such Series C
Common Stock until the first conversion of the Securities in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture, Liberty Global covenants to list such Series C Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Securities in accordance with the requirements of such automated quotation
system or exchange, if any, at such time.
(n) Section 12.10 is amended and restated to read in full as follows:
After the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds cash or shares of Series A Common Stock or
both sufficient to satisfy the Conversion Obligation and shares of Series C Common Stock
sufficient to effect delivery of the Series C Dividend Shares Amount in respect of all the
Securities validly tendered for conversion on the Conversion Date (or, if the Company is
acting as its own Paying Agent, unless the Company shall default in the payment of the cash
portion of such Conversion Obligation), then immediately after the Conversion Date, the
Securities tendered for conversion shall cease to be Outstanding, interest (and Liquidated
Damages, if any) on the Securities tendered for conversion shall cease to accrue and all
rights of the Holders thereof shall cease, except for the right of Holders to receive the
cash or shares of Series A Common Stock or such combination thereof that is to be received
in respect of the satisfaction of such Conversion Obligation and the shares of Series C
Common Stock that are to be received in satisfaction of the obligation to deliver the Series
C Dividend Shares Amount.
(o) Section 12.12 is amended by inserting the following new paragraph at the end thereof:
If Liberty Global effects a transaction of the type described in this Section 12.12
that affects the Series C Common Stock, the Company shall take such action with respect to
the Series C Dividend Shares Amount as, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of
Directors, is necessary or appropriate to approximate the results contemplated under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 12.12 with respect to the Series A Common Stock.
(p) Section 12.14 is amended by deleting the last sentence of such section in its entirely and
replacing it with the following:

the Company must make pursuant to Section 12.1(b)(2) or Section 12.1(b)(6) or in respect of
the Trading Price or Adjusted Trading Price, as applicable, of the Securities shall be
conclusive if made in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1(b)(2)

Adjusted Conversion Price in effect on such day; or
(s) Section 13.2(e)(9) is amended by deleting the words “into Series A Common Stock”
immediately after the words “be converted” in the second line of such section.
