A.    WHEREAS, Deutsche Telekom AG (“DT”), the Borrower, the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the Administrative Agent have entered into a First Incremental Facility Amendment dated as of December 29, 2016 and into a Second Incremental Facility Amendment dated as of January 25, 2017.

B.    WHEREAS, DT is the only Lender under the Credit Agreement.

C.    WHEREAS, Section 2.12(e) of the Original Credit Agreement provided for a prepayment premium of 1.00% to be payable prior to the date that was six months after the Closing Date upon the Borrower (i) making a repayment, prepayment, purchase or buyback of Senior Lien Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Event or (ii) effecting any amendment of the Original Credit Agreement resulting in a Repricing Event.

D.    WHEREAS, the Borrower and DT now desire to amend the Credit Agreement to include a prepayment premium of 1.00% becoming payable upon the Borrower (i) making a repayment, prepayment, purchase or buyback of Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Event or (ii) effecting any amendment of the Credit Agreement resulting in a Repricing Event prior to a date that is six months after the date hereof.

E.    WHEREAS, FURTHER, the Borrower and DT agree that the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans in relation to the Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans provided by DT shall be 2.00% from (and including) the date hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement. The provisions of Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.


SECTION 2. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Section 1.1 (Defined Terms) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the definition of the term “Applicable Margin” which shall instead read as follows:

Applicable Margin”: (a) with respect to First Amendment Incremental Term Loans, a rate per annum equal to (i) for ABR Loans, 1.00%, and (ii) for Eurodollar Loans, 2.00% and (b) with respect to Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans, a rate per annum equal to (i) for ABR Loans, 1.00%, and (ii) for Eurodollar Loans, 2.00%.

Section 1.1 (Defined Terms) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the definition of the term “Repricing Event” which shall instead read as follows:

Repricing Event”: (a) any prepayment, repayment, refinancing, substitution or replacement of all or a portion of the Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans into, any new or replacement debt financing (including new Term Loans under this Agreement) bearing interest with an all-in yield (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower and taking into account interest rate margin and benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (A) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such term loans and (B) four years), but excluding any bona fide arrangement, underwriting, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared ratably with all lenders or holders of such debt financing in their capacities as lenders or holders of such debt financing) less than the all-in yield applicable to the Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans (determined on the same basis as provided in the preceding parenthetical) and (b) any amendment (including pursuant to a replacement term loan as contemplated by Section 9.2) to the Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans or any tranche thereof, in each case of clauses (a) and (b) above, if the primary purpose of such prepayment, repayment, refinancing, substitution, replacement or amendment (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower) is to lower the all-in yield applicable to such Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans (as determined on the same basis as provided in clause (a)). It is understood that “Repricing Events” shall not include any repayment, prepayment or refinancing of all or a portion of Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans in connection with a Change of Control or a Major Acquisition.

Section 2.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending the last two sentences thereof by (a) deleting the phrase “Senior Lien” wherever it appears therein and (b) replacing the phrase “the preceding sentence” with “this Section 2.3.”

Section 2.12(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby substituted by the following:

“In the event that, prior to the date that is six months after July 25, 2017, the Borrower (i) makes any repayment, prepayment, purchase or buyback of Second Amendment Incremental Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Event or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Event, the

Each of the Reaffirming Loan Parties agrees that, neither the modification of the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to the Agreement nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Agreement (a) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of Liens granted pursuant to any Loan Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), whether heretofore or hereafter incurred or (b) require that any new filings be made or other
