Holders of Notes electing to have their Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(d) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions in the Indenture governing the Change of Control Offer by virtue of any such conflict.

(e) For purposes of this Section 4.02, the following definitions are applicable:

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” with respect to the Notes means that such Notes become rated below Investment Grade by each Rating Agency on any date from the date of the public notice by the Guarantor or the Company of an arrangement that results in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice by the Guarantor or the Company of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period will be extended so long as the rating of such Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided, however, that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of “Change of Control Triggering Event”), if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

(i) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, or the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries;

(ii) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than any Significant Shareholder (as defined below) or any combination of Significant Shareholders becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Guarantor or the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

(iii) the consummation of a so-called “going private/Rule 13e-3 Transaction” that results in any of the effects described in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision) with respect to each class of the Guarantor’s common stock, following which any Significant Shareholder or any combination of Significant Shareholders “beneficially own” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Guarantor, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

(iv) the first day on which the majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Guarantor cease to be Continuing Directors; or

(v) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Guarantor.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

“Continuing Director” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors (or equivalent body) of the Guarantor who:

(i) was a member of such board of directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes; or

(ii) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such board of directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Guarantor’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director).

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Ltd., and its successors.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of “BBB–” or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P), a rating of “Baa3” or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moody’s) and a rating of “BBB–” or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Fitch).

“Moody’s” means Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.

“Rating Agency” means (i) each of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Fitch; and (ii) if any of S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Guarantor and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) as a replacement agency for S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch, or all of them, as the case may be.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc., and its successors.

“Significant Shareholder” means each of (i) Advance/Xxxxxxxx Programming Partnership, (ii) the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries and (iii) any other “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) if 50% or more of the Voting Stock of such person is “beneficially owned” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, by Advance/Xxxxxxxx Programming Partnership or the Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries or any combination thereof.

“Voting Stock” of any specified Person as of any date means any and all shares or equity interests (however designated) of such Person that are at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors, managers or trustees of such Person, as applicable.

Section 4.03. Special Mandatory Redemption.

(a) In the event that (a) the Merger Agreement is terminated on or at any time prior to August 30, 2018 or (b) the Merger is not consummated on or at any time prior to August 30, 2018, the Company shall redeem all of the Notes (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last date on which interest was paid or, if interest has not been paid, the date of original issuance of the Notes to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on any series of Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Dates to the Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record dates in accordance with the Notes and the Indenture.

(b) The Company shall cause the notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to be delivered, with a copy to the Trustee, within five Business Days after the occurrence of the event triggering the Special Mandatory Redemption to each Holder of the Notes at its registered address. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Notes shall cease to bear interest and, other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, all rights under such Notes shall terminate.

(c) Upon the occurrence of the closing of the Merger, the foregoing provisions regarding the Special Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply.

Section 4.04. Redemption for Tax Reasons. If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such

laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the issuance of the Notes, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, there is a substantial probability that the Company shall become, obligated to pay additional amounts as described in Article 5 – “Payment of Additional Amounts” with respect to the Notes, then the Company may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on those Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

(x) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Internal Revenue Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Internal Revenue Code; or

If, on or after the date of the issuance of this Security, sterling is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control, then all payments in respect of the Notes shall be made in U.S. dollars until sterling is again available to the Company. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in sterling will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for sterling.

The Supplemental Indenture imposes certain limitations on the incurrence of liens and certain sale and leaseback transactions and limits the Company’s ability to consolidate, merge, convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety. To the extent the terms of the Supplemental Indenture are inconsistent with the Indenture or this Security, the terms of the Supplemental Indenture shall govern.

Guarantee.

The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Securities is irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantor.

Optional Redemption.

Prior to June 20, 2024 (the “Par Call Date”), the Securities are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time and from time to time, at the redemption price described in the Supplemental Indenture.

On and after the Par Call Date, the Securities shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the date of redemption.

Redemption for Tax Reasons.

The Securities are redeemable by the Company in whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of certain developments affecting U.S. taxation described in the Supplemental Indenture at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on those Securities to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

Change of Control Offer to Repurchase.

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities, Holders of the Securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Securities pursuant to the offer described in the Supplemental Indenture at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Securities on the relevant Interest Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

Special Mandatory Redemption.

In the event that (a) the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) is terminated on or at any time prior to August 30, 2018 or (b) the Merger (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) is not consummated on or at any time prior to August 30, 2018, the Company shall redeem all of the Securities at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last date on which interest was paid or, if interest has not been paid, the date of original issuance of the Securities to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture).

10.

Payment of Additional Amounts.

The Company shall, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth in the Supplemental Indenture, pay as additional interest on Securities such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company of the principal of and interest on the Securities to a Holder of the Securities who is not a United States person (as defined below), after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided in the Securities to be then due and payable.

As used in this Section 9, the term “United States” means the United States of America, the states of the United States, and the District of Columbia, and the term “United States person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States of the District of Columbia, or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

11.

Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of £100,000 and integral multiples of £1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Company may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities or portions thereof for a period of 15 days before such series is selected for redemption, nor need the Company register the transfer or exchange of any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part.

12.

Persons Deemed Owners.

The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

13.

Unclaimed Funds.

14.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may be discharged from its obligations under the Securities and under the Indenture with respect to the Securities except for certain provisions thereof, and may be discharged from obligations to comply with certain covenants contained in the Securities and in the Indenture with respect to the Securities, in each case upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, as supplemented by the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture.

15.

Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Securities and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then outstanding affected by such amendment or supplement (voting as one class), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of such series, each series voting as a separate class, (or of all the Securities, as the case may be, voting as a single class) then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security.

16.

Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Company or the Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series then outstanding (voting as a separate class) may declare all of the Securities to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Company or the Guarantor occurs and is continuing, the entire principal amount of the Securities then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall immediately become due and payable. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it

has received indemnity satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Securities notice of certain continuing Defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

17.

Trustee Dealings with Company.

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company as if it were not the Trustee.

18.

No Recourse Against Others.

No stockholder, director, officer, employee, member or incorporator, as such, of the Company, of the Guarantor or any successor Person thereof shall have any liability for any obligation under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Security by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.
