The Term Facility and the Revolving Facility bear interest at a variablerate equal to WIBOR for the relevant interest period plus applicablemargin. The margin on the Term Facility and the Revolving Facilitydepends on the ratio of net consolidated debt indebtedness toconsolidated EBITDA in such a way that the lower the ratio – the lowerthe margin, with the maximum margin level applicable when the netconsolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio exceeds 3.50:1,and the minimum margin level applicable when that ratio is no higherthan 1.50:1 with the reservation that pursuant to the FacilitiesAgreement, the net consolidated indebtedness used to calculate thisratio excludes debt instruments for which interest are not paid in cashon a regular basis. The period of the Term Facility and the RevolvingFacility is five (5) years and the final repayment date for each ofthese facilities is 21 September 2020. The Term Facility is to be repaidin quarterly instalments of variable value and the Revolving Facility,if used, as at the end of the relevant interest period.

When the net consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratiofalls to or below 1.75:1, Cyfrowy Polsat may demand that the collateralsfor the Facilities Agreement be released (save for guarantees granted onthe basis of the Facilities Agreement). However, such releasedcollateral will need to be re-established if the net consolidatedindebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio again rises above 1.75:1.Additionally, if certain members of the Cyfrowy Polsat Group incursecured indebtedness, a pari passu collateral will need to beestablished in favour of the Security Agent (acting for, among others,the lenders under the Facilities Agreement).
Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of the FacilitiesAgreement, the Company and other entities from the Cyfrowy Polsat groupmay incur additional facilities. The terms of such additional facilitieswill be established individually in separate additional facilityaccession deeds and their terms will have to satisfy certain criteria,depending on the net consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDAratio.
Pursuant to the Facilities Agreement, certain members of the CyfrowyPolsat group (including the Company) are to grant guarantees underEnglish law to each of the financing parties under the FacilitiesAgreement and other finance documents executed in relation thereto. Theamount of the guarantees will be equal to the amount of the facilityincreased by all fees and receivables contemplated in the FacilitiesAgreement or other finance documents executed in relation thereto.
