Secured Notes Indenture

On the Final Settlement Date, the Issuers, CCO Holdings, LLC (the “Parent Guarantor”) and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a supplemental indenture with the Trustee and Collateral Agent in connection with the issuance of the Additional Notes and the terms thereof (the “Twenty-Ninth Supplemental Indenture”). The Twenty-Ninth Supplemental Indenture supplements a base indenture entered into on July 23, 2015, by and among the Issuers, CCO Safari II, LLC, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by that certain Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 12, 2026, by and among the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (the “Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture and the Twenty-Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of senior secured notes of the Issuers generally.

The Indenture provides, among other things, that interest is payable on the Additional 2038 Notes on each March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2027. Interest is payable on the Additional 2041 Notes on each March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2027. At any time and from time to time prior to June 1, 2038, the Issuers may redeem the outstanding Additional 2038 Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. On or after June 1, 2038, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the outstanding Additional 2038 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Additional 2038 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. At any time and from time to time prior to June 1, 2041, the Issuers may redeem the outstanding Additional 2041 Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. On or after June 1, 2041, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the outstanding Additional 2041 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Additional 2041 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuers. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Parent Guarantor and all of the subsidiaries of the Issuers that guarantee the obligations of CCO under its credit agreement (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Notes and the guarantees are secured by a pari passu, first priority security interest, subject to certain permitted liens, in the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ assets that secure obligations under the credit agreement.

The terms of the Indenture, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuers to grant liens, sell all or substantially all of their assets or merge or consolidate with other entities.

The Indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other covenants or agreements in the Indenture; failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable; cessation of a material portion of the collateral subject to liens or disaffirmation of obligations under the security documents establishing the security interest in the collateral securing the Notes; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a series may declare all the Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately.
