Revenue is generated primarily from residential and business customers that subscribe to our services and from the sale of advertising. We aim to meet the needs of various segments of our residential customer base by offering multiple levels of service within each of our stand-alone and bundled services. Our business services offerings are tailored to meet the needs of various segments of our business customer base, ranging from broadband services for small business locations to bundled services and solutions designed to meet the needs of medium-sized customers and larger enterprises.

Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 2 Table of Contents Residential Broadband - 29.8 million customers We offer broadband services over our hybrid fiber-optic and coaxial (“HFC”) cable network, featuring gigabit downstream speeds across nearly our entire footprint, as well as other advanced features and functionality. We continue to evolve and enhance the capabilities of our network. During 2022, we began rolling out multigigabit downstream speeds and increasing our upstream speeds by up to 5 to 10 times. We plan to make these speed increases available in the vast majority of our footprint by the end of 2025. We also plan to begin deploying DOCSIS 4.0 in the second half of 2023, which will enable us to deliver to our customers multigigabit symmetrical speeds (i.e. comparable upstream and downstream speeds). We will also continue to deploy fiber-to-the- premises in limited locations. As part of our broadband service, we also offer our advanced, proprietary wireless gateways to customers that combine an internet modem with a Wi-Fi router to deliver reliable internet speeds and enhanced coverage through an in-and-out-of-home Wi-Fi network and xFi Pod plug-in devices that extend a customer’s in-home Wi-Fi coverage. Customers with wireless gateways may also personalize and manage their Wi-Fi network and connected home, and access advanced security technology and other features, with our xFi whole-home application and online portal. Broadband customers have access to our expanding network of secure residential, outdoor and business Wi-Fi hotspots nationwide. As part of our low-income broadband adoption program, we also offer qualifying customers Internet Essentials and Internet Essentials Plus, high-speed broadband services provided at discounted rates. Broadband customers that prefer consuming content over the internet rather than via linear cable television are eligible to receive our Flex streaming device for no additional charge, which includes integrated search functionality and a voice-activated remote control. Flex also provides access to and the integration of streaming content from Peacock’s premium tier; certain third-party internet-based apps providing content and music such as DTC streaming services Disney+ and Netflix; and certain pay-per-view and video on demand content available over the internet. We earn commission revenue from the sale of certain third-party DTC streaming services. Video - 15.6 million customers We offer a broad variety of video services, primarily through our X1 platform, which provides integrated search functionality and a voice-activated remote control. The integrated features provided by X1 operate across content in customers’ cable video services packages and content from internet-based streaming services that customers may access in a manner similar to our Flex streaming device. Our video packages typically range from a basic cable service with access to between 20 and 65 channels to a full service with access to more than 300 channels. Customers may view programming live, record live programming through our digital video recorder (“DVR”) service or access our video on demand services with extensive programming choices such as television series, movies and special-events programming that are available for free or to rent or own digitally. These viewing options are also available through our mobile app and online portal. We tailor our video packages based on particular programming preferences, demographics and geographic areas in accordance with applicable local and federal regulatory requirements, with programming generally inclusive of national broadcast networks, local broadcast stations, national and regional cable networks, government and public access programming, and premium channel subscriptions such as HBO and Showtime. We also offer packages with extensive amounts of foreign-language programming and other specialty tiers of programming. Voice - 7.9 million customers We offer voice services using interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) technology that provide either unlimited or usage-based local and domestic long-distance calling, as well as options for international calling plans, voicemail, readable voicemail, nuisance call blocking tools and various other features. Wireless - 5.3 million lines We offer wireless services for handsets, tablets and smart watches using mobile virtual network operator (“MVNO”) rights over Verizon’s wireless network, including its 5G technology and our existing network of secure residential, outdoor and business Wi-Fi hotspots. Wireless services are only offered as part of our bundled service offerings to residential customers that subscribe to our broadband services and to eligible small business customers on similar terms. Customers may activate multiple lines per account and choose to pay for services on an unlimited data plan, on shared data plans or per gigabyte of data used. Customers may either bring their own device or purchase devices from us with the option to pay upfront or finance the purchase interest-free over 24 months. 3 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Business Services Business services customers may subscribe to a variety of products and services, including broadband services over our HFC cable network featuring gigabit downstream speeds, as well as fiber-to-the-premises that is capable of delivering speeds that range up to 100 gigabits per second. Our service offerings for small business locations primarily include broadband services, as well as voice and video services, that are similar to those provided to our residential customers; cloud-based cybersecurity services; wireless backup connectivity; advanced Wi-Fi solutions; video monitoring services; and cloud- based services for file sharing, online backup and web conferencing, among other uses. We also offer Ethernet network services, which connect multiple locations and provide higher downstream and upstream speed options to medium-sized customers and larger enterprises, advanced voice services, and video solutions for hotels and other large venues. In addition, we provide cellular backhaul services to mobile network operators to help manage their network bandwidth. Our business services offerings for medium-sized and enterprise customers also include a software-defined networking product, and larger enterprises may also receive support services related to Wi-Fi networks, router management, network security, business continuity risks and other services. These services are primarily provided to Fortune 1000 companies and other large enterprises with multiple locations both within and outside of our cable distribution footprint, where we provide coverage outside of our service areas through agreements with other companies to use their networks. Advertising We generally receive an allocation of scheduled advertising time that our advertising business sells to local, regional and national advertisers as part of our distribution agreements with cable networks, and we also generate revenue from selling advertising on our digital platforms. Our advertising business also represents the advertising sales efforts of other multichannel video providers in some markets and offers additional technology, tools, data-driven services and marketplace solutions to customers in the media industry to facilitate the more effective engagement of advertisers with their target audiences. Other Our security and automation services provide home monitoring services and the ability to manage other functions within the home, such as lighting and room temperature, through our online portal, mobile apps and the X1 platform. We also license our technology platforms to other multichannel video providers. Network and Technology Our Cable Communications cable distribution system uses a HFC cable network that we believe is sufficiently flexible and scalable to support our future technology requirements and enables us to continue to grow capacity and capabilities over time. This network provides the two-way transmissions that are essential to providing broadband and connectivity services, interactive video and entertainment services, and other interactive services to our residential and business customers. Cable Communications currently deploys broadband services, primarily leveraging DOCSIS 3.1, to offer gigabit downstream speeds to residential and business services customers across nearly our entire footprint. Our network also includes fiber-to-the-premises in limited locations to offer multigigabit symmetrical speeds to certain residential and business services customers. We continue to evolve and enhance the capabilities of our network. During 2022, leveraging DOCSIS 3.1, we began rolling out multigigabit downstream speeds and increasing our upstream speeds by up to 5 to 10 times. We plan to make these speed increases available in the vast majority of our footprint by the end of 2025. We also plan to begin deploying DOCSIS 4.0 in the second half of 2023, which will enable us to deliver to our customers multigigabit symmetrical speeds over their existing connections. Additionally, as part of our network evolution, we have been virtualizing and automating many core network functions in order to expand capacity and increase operating efficiency and to identify and fix network issues proactively before they affect our customers. We continue to extend our network’s reach to new homes and businesses within our existing service areas and into new service areas to expand the number of homes and businesses passed. We also have begun to partner with local, state and federal agencies when possible to provide services to unserved communities leveraging governmental subsidies where available. Cable Communications continues to focus on technology initiatives to design, develop and deploy next-generation media, content delivery, content aggregation and streaming platforms that support X1 and Flex and our cloud DVR technology. These platforms are based on our global technology platform, which integrates linear television networks, owned and third-party DTC streaming services and other internet-based apps, and on demand content in one unified experience with voice-activated remote control search and interactive features. We also continue to focus on leveraging our own cloud network services to deliver video and advanced search capabilities. Cable Communications also pursues technology initiatives related to broadband and wireless services that also leverage our global technology platform, providing customers with in-and-out-of-home Wi-Fi, the ability to manage their Wi-Fi network and connected home with our xFi whole-home application and online portal, advanced security technology and other features. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 4 Table of Contents Sources of Supply and Other Operations To offer video services, Cable Communications licenses substantial amounts of programming from cable and broadcast networks, as well as from local broadcast television stations. The fees associated with these programming distribution agreements are generally based on the number of subscribers who are able to watch the programming and the platforms on which the content is provided. We seek to include in distribution agreements the rights to offer such programming through multiple delivery platforms, such as through our On Demand service, online portal, mobile apps and Flex. For wireless services, we have an MVNO agreement that allows us to offer services using Verizon’s wireless network and we purchase from a limited number of suppliers a significant number of wireless handsets, tablets and smart watches (“wireless devices”) that we sell to wireless customers. Cable Communications purchases from a limited number of suppliers a significant amount of customer premise equipment, including wireless gateways and set-top boxes, network equipment and services to provide services to residential and business customers. Cable Communications uses two primary vendors to provide customer billing for our residential and business customers. Cable Communications offers services directly to residential and business customers through customer service teams, retail stores, customer service centers, websites, door-to-door selling, telemarketing and third-party outlets, as well as through advertising via direct mail, television and the internet. Our customer service teams also provide 24/7 call-answering capability and other services. Our technical services group performs various tasks, including installations, plant maintenance and upgrades to our cable distribution system. Customers can use self-service options and can perform self-installations for certain services. Competition Competition for Cable Communications’ services consists primarily of telecommunications companies with fiber-based wireline networks and/or fixed wireless networks, DTC streaming and other over-the-top (“OTT”) service providers, and direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) providers. Residential Broadband Cable Communications competes with a number of companies offering internet services, including: • wireline telecommunications companies • wireless telecommunications companies • municipal broadband networks and power companies • satellite broadband providers Certain wireline telecommunications companies such as AT&T, Frontier, Lumen and Verizon have built and are continuing to build fiber-based network infrastructure farther into their networks, which enables them to provide data transmission speeds that exceed those that can be provided with traditional copper digital subscriber line (“DSL”) technology, and are offering services with these higher speeds in many of our service areas. Certain companies that offer DSL service have increased data transmission speeds, lowered prices or created bundled services to compete with our broadband services. Various wireless companies are offering internet services using a variety of technologies, including 4G and 5G wireless broadband services and 5G fixed wireless networks. These networks work with devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and mobile and fixed wireless routers, as well as wireless data cards. Certain companies have launched fiber-to-the-premises networks that provide broadband services in certain areas in which we operate, and certain municipalities in our service areas are also building fiber-based networks. Broadband-deployment funding initiatives at the federal and state level may result in other service providers deploying new subsidized internet access networks within our footprint. The availability of these and other offerings could negatively impact the demand for our broadband services. 5 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Video Cable Communications competes with a number of different sources in the United States that provide news, sports, information and entertainment programming to consumers, including: • DTC streaming and other OTT service providers including: ◦ ◦ subscription-based services, such as Disney+ and Netflix, that offer online services that enable internet streaming and downloading of movies, television shows and other video programming virtual multichannel video providers, such as Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV, that offer streamed linear programming networks • DBS providers, including DIRECTV and DISH Network, that transmit satellite signals to substantially all U.S. households to provide video programming and other information similar to our video services • • • companies that have built and continue to build fiber-based networks that provide video services similar to ours and provide bundled offerings that include wireless phone services other providers that build and operate communications systems and services in the same areas that we serve, including those operating as franchised cable operators other companies, such as local broadcast television stations, that provide multiple channels of free over-the-air programming Many of these competitors also have significant financial resources. Voice Cable Communications competes with wireless and wireline telecommunications providers, as well as other internet-based and VoIP service providers. Certain wireless and wireline telecommunications providers, such as AT&T and Verizon, have longstanding customer relationships, and extensive existing facilities and network rights-of-way. Others also have existing local networks and significant financial resources. In addition, we are increasingly competing with other telecommunications service providers as customers replace traditional wireline phone services with wireless and internet-based phone services. Wireless Cable Communications competes with national wireless service providers in the United States, including AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, which offer wireless service on both a stand-alone basis or along with other services as bundled offerings, as well as regional wireless service providers. Business Services Cable Communications primarily competes with a variety of wireline telecommunications companies and wide area network managed service providers. These companies either operate their own network infrastructure or use all or part of another carrier’s network. We also compete with satellite operators that offer video services to businesses and VoIP companies that target businesses of all sizes. Advertising Cable Communications competes for the sale of advertising with other television networks and stations, as well as with all other advertising platforms, such as digital, radio and print media. Similar to the competitive environment in our Media segment, the willingness of advertisers to purchase advertising from us may be adversely affected by declines in audience ratings and television viewership and difficulty in measuring fragmented audiences. Cable Communications advertising is sold to local, regional and national advertisers, and competition is affected by the market conditions in the specific geographies in which we operate. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 6 Table of Contents NBCUniversal Segments NBCUniversal is one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies that develops, produces and distributes entertainment, news and information, sports, and other content for global audiences, and owns and operates theme parks in the United States and Asia.

Media segment revenue is primarily generated from the sale of advertising on our television networks, Peacock and other digital properties, and from the distribution of our television and streaming platform programming. Media also generates revenue from content licensing and from various digital properties. Our advertising sales are affected by the prices we charge for each advertising unit, which are generally based on the size and demographics of our viewing audiences, audience ratings on our television networks, the number of advertising units we can place in our programming and on our digital properties, and our ability to sell our advertising across our platforms. We market and distribute cable network programming in the United States and internationally to multichannel video providers, including both traditional providers of linear programming and virtual providers who provide streaming services for linear programming. We also receive fees from multichannel video providers under NBC and Telemundo retransmission consent agreements and associated fees from NBC-affiliated and Telemundo-affiliated local broadcast television stations. Our programming distribution agreements are generally multiyear agreements with revenue based on the number of subscribers receiving the programming and the fees charged per subscriber. Certain Peacock subscribers are also charged a monthly subscription fee. 7 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Cable Networks We operate a diversified portfolio of cable networks that provide a variety of entertainment, news and information, and sports content.

We license films, including recent titles and selections from our film library, which is comprised of more than 6,000 movies in a variety of genres, to television networks and DTC streaming service providers, including our Media segment, and to video on demand and pay-per-view services provided by multichannel video providers, including the Cable Communications and Sky segments. Certain titles are also licensed to our Media segment and made available for viewing on Peacock on the same date as the theatrical release. We also distribute films globally by selling them on DVDs/Blu-ray discs and through digital distribution services. 9 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Theatrical revenue is significantly affected by the timing of each release and the number of films we distribute, their acceptance by audiences, the number of exhibition screens, ticket prices, the percentage of ticket sales retention by the exhibitors and the popularity of competing films at the time our films are released. The success of a film in movie theaters is generally a significant factor in determining the revenue a film is likely to generate in succeeding licensing windows. Revenue from the sale of content on DVDs/Blu-ray discs and through digital distribution services is significantly affected by the timing and number of our theatrical releases and the popularity of our content, as well as the timing of release dates. We develop and produce films both alone and jointly with other studios or production companies, as well as with other entities. Films are marketed and distributed worldwide primarily through NBCUniversal’s marketing and distribution operations. We also acquire distribution rights to films produced by third parties, which may be limited to particular geographic regions, specific forms of media or certain periods of time. Our film studios have entered into, and may continue to enter into, film cofinancing arrangements with third parties, including both studio and nonstudio entities, to jointly finance or distribute certain of our film productions. These arrangements can take various forms, but in most cases involve the grant of an economic interest in a film to an investor. Investors generally assume the full risks and rewards of ownership proportionate to their ownership in the film. In connection with studio productions, we typically owe “residuals” payments to individuals hired under collective bargaining agreements to work on productions, which are generally calculated based on post-theatrical or content licensing revenue. We also owe “participations” payments to creative talent, to third parties under cofinancing agreements and to other parties involved in content production, which are generally based on the financial performance of the content. Television Studios Our television studios develop and produce original content, including scripted and unscripted television series. NBCUniversal’s television studios, branded as the Universal Studio Group, produces content under the following names: • Universal Television • Universal Content Productions • Universal Television Alternative Studio • Universal International Studios Our original content is primarily licensed initially to cable, broadcast and premium networks, as well as to DTC streaming service providers, including our Media segment. We also license content after its initial airing and license older television programs from our programming library, as well as sell owned and acquired content globally on DVDs/Blu-ray discs and through digital distribution services. The production and distribution costs related to original television content generally exceed the revenue generated from the initial license, which means that obtaining additional licenses following the initial license is critical to the content’s financial success. Similar to our film studios, we typically owe residuals and participations payments in connection with television studio productions. Theme Parks Segment The following Universal theme parks primarily comprise the Theme Parks segment: • Universal Orlando Resort: Includes two theme parks, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, and our water park, Volcano Bay, all of which are located in Orlando Florida. Universal Orlando also includes Universal CityWalk Orlando, a dining, retail and entertainment complex, and features on-site themed hotels in which we own a noncontrolling interest. We are developing an additional theme park at Universal Orlando named Universal’s Epic Universe. • Universal Studios Hollywood: Includes a theme park located in Hollywood, California and Universal CityWalk Hollywood. • Universal Studios Japan: Includes a theme park located in Osaka, Japan. • Universal Beijing Resort: Includes the Universal Studios Beijing theme park, as well as Universal CityWalk Beijing and on-site themed hotels, all of which are located in Beijing, China. Universal Beijing Resort is owned by us and a consortium of Chinese state-owned companies (see Note 8). Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 10 Table of Contents Revenue is generated primarily from guest spending at our theme parks, including ticket sales and in-park spending on food, beverages and merchandise, and from our consumer products business. Revenue for our theme parks generally depends on the overall environment for travel and tourism, including consumer spending on travel and other recreational activities. We also license the right to use the Universal Studios brand name and other intellectual property and provide other services to third parties, including the party that owns and operates the Universal Studios Singapore theme park on Sentosa Island, Singapore. The themed elements in our rides, attractions, and merchandising are based on intellectual property in our Studios and Media segments and intellectual property licensed from third parties under long-term agreements. Competition Media Our Media segment competes for viewers’ attention and audience share with all forms of programming provided to viewers, including cable, broadcast and premium networks; DTC streaming and other OTT service providers; local broadcast television stations; home entertainment products; video on demand and pay-per-view services; online activities, such as social networking and viewing user-generated content; gaming products; and other forms of entertainment, news and information. Media competes for the sale of advertising with other television networks and stations, digital platforms, including an increasing number of ad-supported DTC streaming services, and all other advertising platforms. The willingness of advertisers to purchase advertising from us may be adversely affected by lower audience ratings and viewership at the related networks, stations, channels, or digital platforms. Declines in audience ratings can be caused by increased competition for the leisure time of viewers and by audience fragmentation resulting from the increasing number of entertainment choices available, including content from DTC streaming and other OTT service providers, online media and other digital sources. Additionally, it is increasingly challenging to accurately measure fragmented audiences. Our cable networks compete primarily with other cable networks and programming providers for carriage of their programming by multichannel video providers and DTC streaming and other OTT service providers. Our broadcast networks compete with the other broadcast networks in markets across the United States to secure affiliations with independently owned television stations, which are necessary to ensure the effective distribution of broadcast network programming to a nationwide audience. Peacock competes for paid subscribers and other users of the platform, primarily with other DTC streaming and OTT service providers, as well as with traditional providers of linear programming. Our television and streaming platforms compete for the acquisition of content and for on-air and creative talent primarily with other cable, broadcast and premium networks, DTC streaming and other OTT service providers, and local broadcast television stations. The market for content is very competitive, particularly for sports rights, where the cost is significant. Studios Our film and television studios compete for audiences for our film and television content with other major film and television studios, independent film producers and creators of content, as well as with alternative forms of entertainment. The competitive position of our film and television studios primarily depends on the number of films and shows and episodes produced, their distribution and marketing success, and consumer response. Our film and television studios also compete to obtain creative, performing and technical talent, including writers, actors, directors, and producers, as well as scripts for films and television shows, and for the distribution of, and consumer interest in, their content. We also compete with other major film and television studios and other producers of entertainment content for the exhibition of content in theaters, on demand, on premium networks and with DTC streaming and other OTT service providers. Theme Parks Theme Parks competes with other multi-park entertainment companies as well as other providers of entertainment, lodging, tourism and recreational activities. To help maintain the competitiveness of our theme parks, we have invested and continue to invest significantly in existing and new theme park attractions, hotels and infrastructure, including Epic Universe in Orlando. 11 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Sky Segment Sky is one of Europe’s leading entertainment companies operating in six territories, including three of the largest pay television markets in Western Europe: the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany. The substantial majority of our revenue is derived from our direct-to-consumer business, which has 23.1 million customer relationships, and primarily involves the distribution of a wide array of video channels to both residential and business customers. We also offer broadband, voice and wireless services individually and as bundled services in select countries. We own a diverse portfolio of pay television channels that feature entertainment, news, sports and movies, which are included in our subscription video services and are also licensed through various distribution partnerships to third-party video providers to reach an additional 3 million households. We also generate revenue from the licensing of owned and licensed programming to third-party video providers and from the sale of advertising. Direct-to-Consumer Video Our direct-to-home (“DTH”) video services are delivered primarily through a combination of both satellite transmission and broadband connections that are marketed under the Sky brand in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Ireland and Austria. We also offer a DTC streaming service providing video content over the internet that is marketed as NOW or WOW (formerly Sky Ticket) (“NOW”) in these countries, as well as in Switzerland. We offer a variety of DTH video services, primarily through our Sky Q platform, where customers have access to a diverse selection of our owned channels, channels owned by third parties and local free-to-air public broadcasting channels, as well as certain ad-supported Peacock programming. The Sky Q platform includes integrated search functionality and a voice-activated remote control and offers integrated access to certain third-party internet- based apps providing content and music, such as DTC streaming services Disney+ and Netflix. Our service offerings are tailored by country, with separate packages offered in each market. Basic packages include between 80 and 100 pay television channels in the United Kingdom and Ireland, over 40 channels in Italy, and over 30 channels in Germany and Austria. Specialty tiers for children’s, sports, movie and high-definition (“HD”) programming are available for additional fees. DTH customers may view programming live, record live programming through our DVR services or access our video on demand services with programming choices such as television series, movies and special-events programming that are available for free or to rent or own digitally. These viewing options are also available through our mobile app and online portal. We also offer video services to customers who purchase Sky Glass smart televisions, which have an operating system that provides a video service similar to Sky Q over a broadband connection, eliminating the need for a satellite dish or set-top box. Refer to Corporate and Other for additional information on Sky Glass. Our NOW streaming service offers packages ranging from daily to monthly access to entertainment, sports and movies programming. The entertainment package includes our owned entertainment channels and a broad range of on demand programming series, including child-friendly programming, as well as certain Peacock programming. The sports package provides access to our owned sports channels and the movie package includes access to a library of films. Television Channels We operate a diversified portfolio of Sky-branded channels. Our owned channels include: • • • • Entertainment channels featuring premium content, including Sky Atlantic, Sky Max and Sky Showcase Premium sports channels under the Sky Sports brand, with a majority of channels dedicated to a specific sport, including European football Premium movie channels under the Sky Cinema brand, including family and children’s movie channels Sky-branded free-to-air channels, including Sky News Other Services We offer broadband and voice services in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Italy. We offer fiber-to-the-cabinet (“FTTC”), DSL broadband and fiber-to-the- home (“FTTH”) services, with downstream speeds up to 500 megabits per second in the United Kingdom and up to one gigabit per second in Ireland and we offer FTTH and FTTC services in Italy, with downstream speeds up to one gigabit per second. We deploy wireless hubs to customers that combine an internet and voice modem with a Wi-Fi router to deliver reliable internet speeds and enhanced coverage through an in-home Wi-Fi network. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 12 Table of Contents We offer wireless services for handsets and tablets in the United Kingdom using a combination of an arrangement to access network assets from Telefónica and our own mobile core network. Customers may activate multiple lines per account, choose to pay for services on various gigabyte plans, roll data over three years and stream with unlimited data on Sky mobile apps. Customers may either bring their own device or purchase devices from us with the option to pay upfront or finance the purchase interest-free over periods ranging from 24 to 48 months. Content In addition to including owned channels as part of our video services, we distribute some of our owned channels on third-party platforms through both wholesale arrangements and arrangements with partners who distribute our owned channels as agents to their respective customer bases. We also license owned and licensed content to other platforms. Advertising We sell advertising across our platforms, including our owned television channels, and also represent the sales efforts of third-party channels. We also offer various technology, tools and solutions relating to our advertising business. Network and Technology We rely on various telecommunications providers to deliver video, broadband, voice and wireless services to our customers. For a majority of customers, our DTH video platform is delivered via one-way digital satellite transmission that uses satellites leased from third parties for the distribution of television channels and is augmented by a set-top box with local DVR storage and high-speed, two-way broadband connectivity enabling interactive video services such as integrated search functionality, on demand, DVR and voice services. Our platform incorporates Wi-Fi connectivity for in- home distribution that allows wireless, multiroom consumption. We have also developed a range of back-end and client software applications that provide customers with access to our content across multiple third-party devices. Under the current regulatory regime in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Italy, we are able to access networks owned by third-party telecommunications providers for a fee to provide our broadband, voice, and wireless services in many cases, on regulated terms. We offer broadband and voice services in the United Kingdom using a combination of our own core fiber network and BT Openreach’s core and “last mile” network under a wholesale and fee-based arrangement and in Italy primarily using Open Fiber’s network. We offer wireless services to customers in the United Kingdom using a combination of an arrangement to access network assets from Telefónica and our own mobile core network. We continue to focus on technology initiatives to design, develop and deploy next-generation media and content delivery platforms, including Sky Q, NOW and Sky Glass, that deliver video content, provide advanced search capabilities, including through a voice-activated remote control, and provide access to and integration of certain other DTC streaming services. These platforms leverage our global technology platform. Sources of Supply and Other Operations Programming Our owned television channels and NOW streaming service include content both owned by us and licensed from third parties and NBCUniversal. In some cases, licenses are on an exclusive basis. We have various multiyear contractual commitments for the licensing of programming, primarily sports rights and exclusive entertainment content. Our most significant sports rights commitments include European football broadcast rights for Premier League games through the 2024-25 season in the United Kingdom and Formula One through 2029 in the United Kingdom and through 2027 in Germany and Italy. We also have broadcast rights to Bundesliga games through the 2024-25 season in Germany, to England and Wales Cricket Board cricket games through 2028 in the United Kingdom, and to Union of European Football Associations Champions League (“UCL”) through the 2023-24 season in Italy, as well as non- exclusive broadcast rights to certain Serie A games through the 2023-24 season in Italy. Our most significant commitments for the licensing of film and television entertainment content include exclusive rights with HBO, Paramount, Warner Bros. and NBCUniversal. We also produce and air live news and sports programming and produce original programming through Sky Studios. We are increasingly creating and investing in original drama, comedy and factual content that is broadcast across our territories and sold to other markets. We also opened the first stages of our new film and television studio facility in the United Kingdom in 2022. 13 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents To offer video services, in addition to our owned channels, we license substantial amounts of programming from third parties. The fees associated with these programming distribution agreements are generally based on the number of customers that are able to watch the programming and the platforms on which the content is provided. We seek to include in distribution agreements the rights to offer such programming through multiple delivery platforms, such as through our on demand services, mobile apps and our NOW streaming service. Other We purchase from a limited number of suppliers a significant amount of customer premise equipment, including set-top boxes, wireless hubs and network equipment to provide our video and broadband services to residential and business customers. We also purchase from a limited number of suppliers a significant number of wireless handsets and tablets that are sold to customers that receive our wireless services. We offer direct-to-consumer services to residential and business customers through our customer service teams, customer service centers, websites, telemarketing, and a limited number of retail stores, as well as through advertising via direct mail, television and the internet. Our home service group performs various tasks, including installations, servicing and upgrades of customer premise equipment. Customers can use self-service options and perform self-installations for certain services. Competition We compete with a broad range of companies engaged in media, entertainment and communications services in Europe. For video services, we compete with cable operators, providers of both paid-for and free-to-air programming, other satellite television providers, digital terrestrial television providers, content aggregators, home entertainment products companies, and other suppliers and providers of sports, entertainment, news and information that deliver DTC and other OTT streaming services. For broadband and wireless services, we compete with service providers making use of new fiber-optic networks, telecommunications providers, other internet service providers and companies developing new technologies and devices. Our competitive position may be negatively impacted by an increase in the capacity of, or developments in, the means of delivery competitors use to provide their services as well as lowered prices, product innovations, new technologies or different value creation approaches. We also compete with organizations that are publicly funded, in whole or in part, to fulfill a public service broadcasting mandate. Our owned channels compete for the acquisition of content and for on-air and creative talent with other television networks and with DTC streaming and other OTT service providers. The market for content is very competitive, particularly for sports rights, where the cost for such content is significant. We compete for the sale of advertising with other television networks and stations, digital platforms, and all other advertising platforms. Similar to the competitive environment in our Media segment, the willingness of advertisers to purchase advertising from us may be adversely affected by declines in television viewership and the increasing number of entertainment choices available. Corporate and Other Our other business interests consist primarily of the operations of Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and other business initiatives. Other business initiatives primarily include costs associated with Sky Glass smart televisions and the related hardware sales and, following its formation in June 2022, the operations of Xumo, our consolidated streaming platform joint venture with Charter Communications. Xumo is focused on developing and offering a streaming platform on a variety of devices, including XClass TV smart televisions, and also operates the Xumo Play streaming service (previously branded as the Xumo streaming service). Sky Glass and XClass TV are smart televisions with operating systems that leverage our global technology platforms similar to Sky Q, X1 and Flex. We sell Sky Glass televisions in Europe to consumers that also subscribe to Sky’s video services. XClass TVs are manufactured and sold by third parties and operate on the XClass TV operating system. Additionally, we formed the SkyShowtime joint venture with Paramount Global in 2022, which operates a DTC streaming service available in select European markets and is accounted for as an equity method investment. NBCUniversal and Sky license programming to SkyShowtime. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 14 Table of Contents Seasonality and Cyclicality Each of our businesses is typically subject to seasonal and cyclical variations. Cable Communications’ results are impacted by the seasonal nature of residential customers receiving our services in college and vacation markets. This generally results in fewer net customer relationship additions in the second quarter of each year. Revenue and costs and expenses in our Media segment are cyclical as a result of our periodic broadcasts of major sporting events, such as the Olympic Games and the Super Bowl. In particular, advertising revenue increases due to increased demand for advertising time for these events and distribution revenue increases in the period of broadcasts of the Olympic Games. Costs and expenses also increase as a result of our production costs for these broadcasts and the amortization of the related rights fees. Revenue in Cable Communications, Media and Sky is also subject to cyclical advertising patterns and changes in viewership levels. Advertising revenue in the United States is generally higher in the second and fourth quarters of each year and in even-numbered years due to increases in advertising in the spring and in the period leading up to and including the holiday season, and advertising related to candidates running for political office and issue-oriented advertising, respectively. Revenue in Media also fluctuates depending on the timing of when our programming is aired, which typically results in additional advertising revenue in the second and fourth quarters of each year. Advertising revenue in Sky typically has seasonally higher audience levels in winter months, with lower levels in summer months due to the timing of European football seasons and summer vacations. There is also increased competition for TM advertising at Sky during major sporting events aired by public service broadcasters, such as the FIFA World Cup . Revenue in Studios fluctuates due to the timing, nature and number of films released in movie theaters, on DVDs/Blu-ray discs, and through various other distribution platforms, including viewing on demand, DTC platforms or OTT service providers. Release dates are determined by several factors, including competition and the timing of vacation and holiday periods. As a result, revenue tends to be seasonal, with increases experienced each year during the summer months and around the holiday season. We incur significant marketing expenses before and throughout the release of a film in movie theaters and as a result, we typically incur losses on a film prior to and during the film’s exhibition in movie theaters. Content licensing revenue also fluctuates due to the timing of when our film and television content is made available to licensees. Revenue in Theme Parks fluctuates with changes in theme park attendance that typically result from the seasonal nature of vacation travel and weather variations, local entertainment offerings and the opening of new attractions, as well as with changes in currency exchange rates. Theme Parks generally experiences peak attendance during the spring holiday period, the summer months when schools are closed and the Christmas holiday season. Sky’s results are also impacted by the seasonal nature of residential customers receiving our DTH and NOW streaming services, including the start of the new European football seasons and the Christmas holiday. This generally results in higher net customer relationship additions and higher marketing expenses in the second half of each year to attract new customers. Exclusive sports rights, such as European football, play a key role within Sky’s wider content strategy. In Europe, broadcasting rights for major sports are usually tendered through a competitive auction process, with the winning bidder or bidders acquiring rights over a 3 to 5 year period. This creates some level of cyclicality, although the staggered timing of major sports rights auctions usually gives Sky time to react to any material changes in the competitive dynamics of the prevailing market. Legislation and Regulation Our businesses are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, with some also subject to international laws and regulations. In particular, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications Act”), and Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulations and policies affect significant aspects of our cable communications and broadcast businesses in the United States. Beyond the more significant regulations summarized below, legislators and regulators at all levels of government frequently consider changing, and sometimes do change, existing statutes, rules or regulations, or interpretations of existing statutes, rules or regulations, or prescribe new ones, any of which may significantly affect our businesses and ability to effectively compete. These legislators and regulators, along with some state attorneys general and foreign governmental authorities, have been active in conducting inquiries and reviews regarding our services. State legislative and regulatory initiatives can create a patchwork of different and/or conflicting state requirements, such as with respect to privacy and Open Internet/net neutrality regulations, that can affect our businesses and ability to effectively compete. 15 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Legislative and regulatory activity has increased under the Biden Administration, particularly with respect to broadband networks. For example, Congress has approved tens of billions of dollars in new funding for broadband deployment and adoption initiatives, and may consider other proposals that address communications issues, including whether it should rewrite the entire Communications Act to account for changes in the communications marketplace and whether it should enact new, permanent Open Internet/net neutrality requirements. Federal agencies likewise may consider adopting new regulations for communications services, including broadband. States and localities are also increasingly proposing new regulations impacting communications services, including broader regulation of broadband networks. Any of these regulations could significantly affect our business and compliance costs. In addition, United States and foreign regulators and courts could adopt new interpretations of existing competition or antitrust laws or enact new competition or antitrust laws or regulatory tools that could negatively impact our businesses. Any future legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative actions may increase our costs or impose additional restrictions on our businesses, some of which may be significant. We are unable to predict the outcome or effects of any of these potential actions or any other legislative or regulatory proposals on our businesses. The following paragraphs summarize the more significant legal and regulatory requirements and risks affecting our businesses. Communications-Related Regulations in the United States Broadband Our broadband services are subject to a number of regulations and commitments. The FCC frequently considers imposing new broadband-related regulations such as those relating to an Open Internet, and from time to time, imposing new regulatory obligations on internet service providers (“ISPs”) such as us. States and localities also consider new broadband-related regulations from time to time, including those regarding government-owned broadband networks, net neutrality and broadband affordability. New broadband regulations, if adopted, may have adverse effects on our businesses. We may also be subject to additional broadband-related commitments as a condition of receiving federal or state broadband funding. Broadband Deployment and Adoption Initiatives There have been, and may continue to be, substantial broadband-deployment funding initiatives at the federal and state level that could subsidize (i) other service providers building networks within our footprint and (ii) potential expansion of our network to new areas. Federal agencies are adopting rules for recently-enacted federal broadband funding programs. In many cases, states will disburse these federal broadband funds and may adopt additional requirements on providers that are awarded funding, which may impose additional costs, constraints and burdens on our businesses. We cannot predict what requirements will ultimately be adopted, how such funds will be awarded or the impact of these initiatives on our businesses. In 2021, Congress created the Affordable Connectivity Program (“ACP”) to provide a monthly discount toward broadband service for eligible low-income households starting in 2022. This new longer-term program replaced the Emergency Broadband Benefit (“EBB”) program established during the COVID- 19 pandemic. We participated in EBB and are participating in ACP. We cannot predict the extent to which eligible households will opt to use their ACP benefit towards our broadband services. Open Internet Regulations Various forms of Open Internet regulations can significantly affect our broadband services. In 2017, the FCC reversed its prior classification of broadband internet access service as a “telecommunications service” under Title II of the Communications Act and classified it as an “information service” under Title I. In addition, it eliminated its prior “net neutrality” rules prohibiting ISPs from blocking access to lawful content on the internet; impairing or degrading lawful internet traffic on the basis of content, applications or services (“throttling”); prioritizing certain internet traffic in exchange for consideration or in favor of an affiliate (“paid or affiliated prioritization”); and generally prohibiting ISPs from unreasonably interfering with or unreasonably disadvantaging consumers’ ability to access and use the lawful internet content, applications, services or devices of their choosing or unreasonably interfering with or disadvantaging edge providers’ ability to make lawful content, applications, services, or devices available to consumers (“general conduct standard”). The FCC stated that jurisdiction to regulate ISP conduct would rest at the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), and it expressly preempted all state Open Internet laws. In addition, the FCC revised the transparency rule to add a requirement that ISPs disclose any blocking and throttling practices, and any paid or affiliated prioritization practices associated with their broadband offerings. We have disclosed that we do not block, throttle, or engage in paid or affiliated prioritization, and have committed not to block, throttle, or discriminate against lawful content. The FTC has authority to enforce these public commitments, and the FCC has authority to enforce compliance with its transparency rule. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 16 Table of Contents The FCC’s 2017 decision was challenged and, in 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia largely upheld the FCC’s decision, including the classification of broadband as an “information service” and repeal of its prior rules. However, it vacated the FCC’s express preemption of all state Open Internet laws, but noted that state laws may nevertheless conflict with federal law or policy and be preempted on a case-by-case basis. Several states have passed or introduced legislation, or have adopted executive orders, that impose Open Internet requirements in a variety of ways, and new state legislation may be introduced and adopted in the future. Such attempts by the states to regulate have the potential to create differing and/or conflicting state regulations. The FCC under the Biden Administration likely will revisit the regulatory classification of broadband internet access service and reclassify it as a “telecommunications service,” which would authorize the FCC to subject it to traditional common carriage regulation under Title II of the Communications Act. Under a Title II framework, the FCC could potentially regulate our customer rates, speeds, data usage thresholds or other terms for internet services and could prohibit or seriously restrict arrangements between us and internet content, applications and service providers, including backbone interconnection arrangements. Any FCC action could impact state Open Internet initiatives, and also could prompt further litigation. Congress may also consider legislation addressing these regulations and the regulatory framework for broadband internet access services. We cannot predict whether or how the rules might be changed, the impact of potential new legislation, or the outcome of any litigation. Municipally Owned Broadband Networks A number of local municipalities operate municipally owned broadband networks, and there may be further efforts by local governments to expand or create government-owned networks, particularly in light of federal funding for broadband deployment. Certain states have enacted laws that restrict or prohibit local municipalities from operating municipally owned broadband networks, and there may be efforts in other state legislatures to restrict the development of government-owned networks, although others may choose to ease or facilitate such networks. Much of the federal funding authorized for broadband deployment is conditioned on states agreeing to make it available for potential use by government-owned networks, although the funding prioritizes deployment to unserved areas and locations. We cannot predict how successful any of those efforts will be and how they might affect our businesses. Video The video marketplace continues to become even more competitive, particularly with DTC streaming and other OTT service providers. There are a number of laws and regulations that apply solely to multichannel video programming distributors (“MVPDs”) or cable operators such as our Cable Communications business, and to cable networks and local broadcast television stations operated by NBCUniversal. These laws and regulations can constrain our ability to compete, particularly against DTC streaming and other OTT service providers, which are not subject to these same requirements. Cable Pricing and Packaging While our video services are not subject to rate regulation, certain state entities monitor and challenge in court the marketing and advertising of our services, and some have attempted to regulate the service packages we offer and our billing practices. We cannot predict the outcome of any current litigation with state entities or whether other states may pursue similar actions. Cable Franchising Cable operators generally operate their cable systems under nonexclusive franchises granted by local or state franchising authorities. While the terms and conditions of franchises vary materially from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, franchises typically last for a fixed term, obligate the franchisee to pay franchise fees and meet service quality, customer service and other requirements, and are terminable if the franchisee fails to comply with material provisions. Franchising authorities also may require adequate channel capacity, facilities and financial support for public, educational and governmental access programming, and other in-kind contributions. The Communications Act also contains provisions governing the franchising process, including renewal procedures designed to protect incumbent franchisees against arbitrary denials of renewal and unreasonable renewal conditions. We believe that our franchise renewal prospects are generally favorable but cannot guarantee the future renewal of any individual franchise. The FCC adopted an order in 2019 that prohibits state and local authorities from imposing duplicative franchise and/or fee requirements on the provision of broadband and other non-cable services, affirming that franchise fees were subject to a federal statutory cap of 5% of cable service revenue and could not include other revenue. The order further required that in-kind contributions (such as courtesy services) generally should be treated as franchise fees subject to that cap. The order was substantially upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Several localities have attempted, generally unsuccessfully to date, to impose franchise fees on DTC streaming and other OTT service providers. 17 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Program Carriage FCC regulations prohibit us from unreasonably restraining the ability of an unaffiliated video programming network to compete fairly by discriminating against the network on the basis of its non-affiliation in the selection, terms or conditions for its carriage. In addition, cable operators and other MVPDs in the United States are prohibited from requiring as a condition of carriage a financial interest in, or exclusive distribution rights for, a video programming network. We have been involved in program carriage disputes at the FCC, as well as in the courts, and may be subject to new complaints in the future. Program Access The Communications Act and FCC regulations generally prevent cable networks affiliated with cable operators from favoring affiliated cable operators over competing MVPDs. The FCC and Congress have considered proposals that would require companies that own multiple cable networks to make each of their networks available individually when negotiating distribution agreements with MVPDs and potentially with DTC streaming and other OTT service providers. We currently offer our cable networks on a packaged basis (in “tiers”) and, in various cases, individually. We have been involved in program access disputes at the FCC and may be subject to new complaints in the future. Must-Carry/Retransmission Consent Cable operators are required to carry, without compensation, programming transmitted by most local commercial and noncommercial broadcast television stations. As an alternative to this “must-carry” requirement, local broadcast television stations may choose to negotiate with the cable operator for “retransmission consent,” under which the station gives up its must-carry rights and instead seeks to negotiate a carriage agreement with the cable operator, which frequently will involve payments to the station. We currently pay certain local broadcast television stations in exchange for their required consent for the retransmission of the stations’ broadcast programming to our video services customers and expect to continue to be subject to demands for increased payments and other concessions from local broadcast television stations. Failure to reach a retransmission consent agreement with a broadcaster could result in the loss of popular programming on our video services. Every three years, each local commercial broadcast television station must elect for each cable system either must-carry or retransmission consent. A similar regulatory scheme applies to satellite providers. For the three-year period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023, all of our owned NBC and Telemundo local broadcast television stations elected retransmission consent. Although we have reached retransmission consent agreements with almost all MVPDs in the past, there can be no assurance that we will always be able to renew those agreements under favorable terms or at all. Broadcast Licensing Local broadcast television stations may be operated only in accordance with a license issued by the FCC upon a finding that the grant of the license will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity. The FCC grants broadcast television station licenses for 8-year cycles, which may be renewed with or without conditions. The FCC renewed all of our broadcast television station licenses without conditions during the last license renewal cycle; the current television license renewal cycle began in 2020 and some of our licenses have been renewed. Although our licenses have been renewed in prior cycles, there can be no assurance that we will always obtain renewal grants. Broadcast Ownership Restrictions The Communications Act and FCC regulations impose certain limitations on local and national television ownership, as well as limits on foreign ownership in a broadcast television station. Some of these limitations currently are under review at the FCC, including the national television ownership limit, the local television ownership limit, and the prohibition on each of the four major broadcast television networks, ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC, from being under common ownership or control with another of the four. Children’s Programming Under federal regulations, the amount of commercial content that may be shown on cable networks, broadcast networks and local broadcast television stations during programming originally produced and broadcast primarily for an audience of children 12 years of age and under is limited, and certain television station programming must serve the educational and informational needs of children 16 years of age and under. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 18 Table of Contents FCC 5G Spectrum Proceedings The FCC also has established and is in the process of evaluating and potentially modifying its rules to make available additional spectrum that will likely be used for licensed and unlicensed commercial services, including new 5G services. Because Cable Communications and NBCUniversal use some of this spectrum to provide services, they are transitioning their operations to different frequencies in order to accommodate the reallocation of spectrum for 5G, and they may be required to transition other operations in the future if the FCC reallocates other spectrum bands that Cable Communications and NBCUniversal use, which could disrupt our services and impose additional costs. Voice We provide voice services using VoIP technology. The FCC has adopted a number of regulations for providers of nontraditional voice services such as ours, including regulations relating to privacy of customer proprietary network information, local number portability duties and benefits, disability access, E911, law enforcement assistance, outage reporting, Universal Service Fund contribution obligations, rural call completion, customer equipment back-up power, robocall mitigation, service discontinuance and certain regulatory filing requirements. The FCC has not yet ruled on whether VoIP services such as ours should be classified as an “information service” or a “telecommunications service” under the Communications Act. The classification determination is important because telecommunications services are regulated more extensively than information services. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has held that VoIP is an information service and preempted state regulation of VoIP, and the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to review that determination, but that ruling remains limited to the seven states located in that circuit. State regulatory commissions and legislatures in other jurisdictions may continue to consider imposing regulatory requirements on our voice services as long as the regulatory classification of VoIP remains unsettled at the federal level. Wireless We offer a wireless voice and data service primarily using our MVNO rights to provide the service over Verizon’s wireless network. MVNOs are subject to many of the same FCC regulations as facilities-based wireless carriers (e.g., E911 services, local number portability, etc.), as well as certain state or local regulations. The FCC or other regulatory authorities may adopt new or different regulations for MVNOs and/or mobile broadband providers in the future, which could adversely affect our wireless phone service offering or our business generally. International Communications-Related Regulations Sky and certain NBCUniversal international businesses are subject to telecommunications and media-specific regulation described below in Europe, Latin America and other international jurisdictions, and all of our international businesses are subject to regulation under generally applicable laws, such as competition, consumer protection, data protection and taxation in the jurisdictions where they operate. Our international businesses are currently, and may be in the future, subject to proceedings or investigations from regulatory and antitrust authorities in the jurisdictions in which those businesses operate. In addition, in connection with our acquisition of Sky, we have made certain legally binding commitments with respect to Sky’s operations, including for example, to maintain annual funding for Sky News in an amount no lower than Sky News’ 2017 fiscal year expenditures, as adjusted by inflation, until 2029. Platform Services In the United Kingdom, Sky has agreed to provide its electronic program guide (“EPG”) and conditional access (“CA”) services to other programming providers on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, among other things, so that those providers’ content is available on Sky’s satellite platform via the EPG on set-top boxes. Sky also has voluntarily committed to the United Kingdom’s communications regulator, the Office of Communications (“Ofcom”) to provide access control services to third parties that enable them to provide interactive services. Sky is subject to similar EPG and CA obligations in Germany. Television Channels and On-Demand Services Sky and NBCUniversal hold a number of licenses and authorizations for their portfolios of television channels and on-demand services. For example, in the United Kingdom, Sky’s channels are licensed and subject to various codes issued by Ofcom affecting the content and delivery of these channels. Sky and NBCUniversal also hold various broadcast licenses in certain E.U. and other countries. These content-related rules and regulations cover issues such as the acquisition and exploitation of sports rights, media concentration and plurality, television advertising, the protection of children, accessibility, airtime for commercials and teleshopping, sponsorship and ensuring clear distinctions between program content and advertising. 19 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Broadband and Voice Sky provides broadband and voice services in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Italy pursuant to wholesale distribution agreements that third-party broadband and telecommunications companies either make available commercially or are required to make available under applicable laws in those jurisdictions. Material changes to these regulations could affect Sky’s business. As a provider of broadband services, Sky is subject to applicable laws and regulations relating to telecommunications security, including a U.K. law that requires providers to take certain measures with respect to potential security compromises. Sky is also subject to E.U. and other Open Internet/net neutrality regulations, which prohibit the blocking, throttling or discrimination of online content, applications and services and require ISPs to disclose their traffic management, throughput limitations and other practices impacting quality of service in customer contracts. Other Areas of Regulation Intellectual Property Copyright, trademark, unfair competition, patent, trade secret and other proprietary-rights laws of the United States and other countries help protect our intellectual property rights. In particular, unauthorized copying, distribution and piracy of programming and films over the internet, through devices, software and websites, counterfeit DVDs/Blu-rays and through other platforms interfere with the market for copyrighted works and present challenges for our content businesses. We have actively engaged in the enforcement of our intellectual property rights and likely will continue to expend substantial resources to protect our content. Although many legal protections exist to combat such practices, the extent of copyright protection is sometimes ambiguous and the use of technological protections can be controversial. Modifications to existing laws, a weakening of these protections or their enforcement or a failure of existing laws, in the United States or internationally, to adapt to new technologies could have an adverse effect on our ability to license and sell our programming. U.S. copyright laws establish a cable compulsory copyright license that requires our video distribution business to contribute a specified percentage of revenue to a federal copyright royalty pool in exchange for retransmitting copyrighted material included in broadcast signals. We also pay standard industry licensing fees for the public performance of music in the programs we create or distribute. The cable compulsory copyright license and the royalties we pay are subject to audits and possible regulatory and legislative changes that could impact the royalty fees we pay and our ability to retransmit broadcast signals over cable systems. In addition, the landscape for music licensing is constantly changing, and music fees we pay are subject to new fee demands and negotiations. We cannot predict how changes to the compulsory copyright license and music licensing will impact the fees that we pay. Privacy and Data Security Regulation Our businesses are subject to federal, state and foreign laws and regulations that impose various restrictions and obligations related to privacy and the handling of consumers’ personal information. In the United States, the Communications Act generally restricts cable operators’ nonconsensual collection and disclosure to third parties of cable customers’ personally identifiable information, except for rendering service, conducting legitimate business activities related to the service and responding to legal requests. We are also subject to various state and federal regulations that provide privacy protections for customer proprietary network information related to our voice services and other consumer information. The FTC generally exercises oversight of consumer privacy protections using its enforcement authority over unfair and deceptive acts or practices. For example, the FTC often partners with state attorneys general to enforce transparency requirements regarding the collection and use of consumer information. These enforcement efforts may require ongoing review on our part of new and rapidly evolving technologies and methods for delivering content and advertising to ensure that appropriate notice is given to consumers and consent is obtained where required in connection with the collection, use or sharing of personal information. The FTC has recently initiated a rulemaking proceeding to consider rules relating to the collection, use, sharing, and securing of consumer personal information. We cannot predict whether the FTC ultimately will adopt any rules or, if it does, what requirements, obligations, or restrictions such rules may impose and how such rules would affect our businesses. We are also subject to stringent data security and data minimization requirements, including some requirements that apply to website operators and online services directed to children 12 years of age and under, or that knowingly collect or post personal information from children 12 years of age and under. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 20 Table of Contents In addition, certain states have enacted detailed laws establishing explicit consumer privacy protections and data security requirements in their respective states. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives California residents rights to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use and sharing of “Personal Information,” as well as rights to access, delete, correct and restrict certain uses, sales, and sharing of certain personal information collected about them. California privacy laws also include new business requirements, including data minimization requirements. Other states with similar laws in effect or coming into effect include Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia. Additionally, California has established an entirely new agency, the California Privacy Protection Agency, to implement and enforce its privacy laws. We cannot predict how these new laws or changes to existing laws will affect our businesses, or whether any legislation or proposed rules currently under consideration will be enacted or adopted or what the impact of any such laws or regulations may be on our businesses. Moreover, all 50 states have security breach notification laws that generally require a business to give notice to consumers and government agencies when certain information has been disclosed to an unauthorized party due to a security breach. Certain of our businesses are subject to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA”), which broadly regulate the processing of personal data collected from individuals in the European Union and United Kingdom, respectively. DPA, GDPR and the E.U. member states’ legislation implementing the GDPR, related rules regulating the privacy of electronic communications services and networks (including “cookie” rules), and various initiatives by regulatory authorities pursuant to these laws affect how we are able to process certain personal data for particular purposes, what we must tell our customers about this processing, and what controls our customers have over such processing. State and Local Taxes Some U.S. states and localities have imposed or are considering imposing, through both legislative and administrative channels, new or additional taxes or fees on, or limiting or eliminating incentives or credits earned or monetized by, the businesses operated by our Cable Communications and NBCUniversal segments, or imposing adverse methodologies by which taxes, fees, incentives or credits are computed, earned or monetized. These include combined reporting or other changes to general business taxes, central assessments for property tax and taxes and fees on the businesses operated or services provided by our Cable Communications and NBCUniversal segments. In some situations, DBS providers and other competitors that deliver their services over a broadband connection do not face the same state tax and fee burdens. Congress has also considered, and may consider again, proposals to bar or limit states from imposing taxes on these DBS providers or other competitors that are equivalent to the taxes or fees that we pay. The Internet Tax Freedom Act (“ITFA”) prohibits most states and localities from imposing sales and other taxes on our internet access charges; however, some jurisdictions may challenge the ITFA or the application of the ITFA to our business, or may assert that certain taxes akin to right-of-way fees are not preempted by the ITFA. U.K. Exit from the European Union The telecommunications and media regulatory framework applicable to our business in the United Kingdom is subject to greater uncertainty as a result of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. In 2021, the U.K. government signaled its intention of moving away from the European Union’s approach in a number of policy areas, increasing the possibility of greater divergence between the regulation of our U.K. business and our other European businesses over time. We are not able to predict the extent of any such divergence at this point in time. Other Regulations U.S. states and localities, and various regulatory authorities, actively regulate other aspects of our businesses, including our Studios and Theme Parks businesses, accessibility to our video and voice services and broadcast television programming for people with disabilities, customer service standards, inside wiring, cable equipment, pole attachments, universal service fees, regulatory fees, public safety, telemarketing, leased access, indecency, loudness of commercial advertisements, advertising, political broadcasting, sponsorship identification, Emergency Alert System, equal employment opportunity and other employment-related laws, environmental-related matters, our equipment supply chain, and technical standards relating to the operation of cable systems and television stations. In addition, our international businesses are subject to various similar regulations, including those that cover television broadcasting, programming and advertising. We are occasionally subject to enforcement actions and investigations at the FCC and other federal, state and local agencies, as well as foreign governments and regulatory authorities, which can result in fines or being subject to sanctions. 21 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Human Capital Resources As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 186,000 full-time and part-time employees calculated on a full-time equivalent basis. Of these employees, approximately 73,000, 77,000 and 34,000 were associated with Cable Communications, NBCUniversal and Sky, respectively. Approximately 30% of our employees were located in over 30 countries outside the United States, with larger workforce concentrations in the United Kingdom, Japan, China, Italy, Germany and India. We also use freelance and temporary employees in the normal course of our business. A small overall portion of our full-time U.S. employees are unionized, although many of NBCUniversal’s freelance and temporary writers, directors, actors, technical and production personnel, as well as some on-air and creative talent employees, are covered by industry-wide collective bargaining agreements or work councils. Outside the United States, employees in certain countries, particularly in Europe, are represented by an employee representative organization, such as a union, works council or employee association. Our company has been built on a foundation of respect, integrity and trust, and we are committed to creating and fostering a work environment that promotes those values. As a global media and technology company, we have a wide range of employees, including management professionals, technicians, engineers, call center employees, theme park employees, and media talent and production employees. Some of our key workforce-related programs and initiatives include the following. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion • Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is longstanding. We believe that a diverse, equitable and inclusive company helps to foster creativity, innovation and success. We embrace diversity of background, perspective, culture and experience throughout our business. • We offer a variety of training programs and initiatives focused on creating a more inclusive workplace culture. These efforts include company- wide forums like our diversity, equity and inclusion speaker series which is designed to educate, inspire dialogue and foster employee engagement through a curated experience anchored by scholars, authors, thought leaders and expert speakers focusing on a variety of diversity, equity and inclusion topics. • We support nine employee resource groups, with 35,000 members in over 240 chapters, including a variety of uniquely tailored mentorship programs across our business. Employee Engagement • We seek to create an engaged workforce through proactive listening and constructive dialogue, including through employee engagement surveys, as well as through the employee resource groups described above. • We have an open door policy and culture so employees can report any questions or concerns, whether involving a workplace issue, a concern about suspected illegal or unethical conduct or any other matter, trusting that we will take their concerns seriously and without fear of retaliation. Talent Development • We provide a wide variety of opportunities for professional growth for all employees with in-classroom and online trainings and on-the-job experience. • We offer education tuition assistance to full-time employees in the United States. • Our Board of Directors discusses succession planning for our CEO and the remainder of our senior executive management team at least once a year. Throughout the year, our senior executive management team, as well as a broader array of executives throughout our businesses, make presentations to the Board and its committees and interact with our directors informally outside of regularly scheduled Board meetings, which provides directors with meaningful insight into our current pool of talent, what attracts and retains our executives, and our company culture. Health and Welfare Benefits • We offer a portfolio of services and tools to support our employees’ health and wellbeing, including dedicated health assistants, expert medical opinion services, virtual and telehealth options, diabetes treatment programs, tobacco cessation, and others. We also have a robust Employee Assistance Program and generous portfolio of mental and behavioral health resources. • In 2022, we expanded our family planning options, including for adoption and surrogacy, and provide specialized support teams to help manage first months of parenthood and all stages in the family planning journey. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 22 Table of Contents Financial Benefits • We focus on attracting and retaining employees by providing compensation and benefits packages that are competitive within the applicable market, taking into account the job position’s location and responsibilities. • We provide competitive financial benefits such as a 401(k) retirement plan in the United States with a company match and other retirement arrangements internationally. • We have employee stock purchase plans in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland and several other European countries where most of our full-time and part-time employees can purchase our stock at a discount. • We generally grant awards of restricted stock units and stock options on an annual basis to a meaningful portion of our employees, with over 20,000 employees receiving such awards in 2022. • We offer financial literacy training and counseling to support employees in making their own financial decisions.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. These may include estimates, projections and statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, which are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “potential,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “commit,” “plan,” “goal,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks and uncertainties we describe in “Risk Factors” and in other reports we file with the SEC. Any of these factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, which could adversely affect our businesses, results of operations or financial condition. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise. 23 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Item 1A: Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Business, Industry and Operations Our businesses operate in highly competitive and dynamic industries, and our businesses and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not compete effectively. All of our businesses operate in intensely competitive, consumer-driven, rapidly changing environments. We compete with a growing number of companies that provide a broad range of communications products and services and entertainment, sports, news and information content to consumers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively against our competitors or that competition will not have an adverse effect on our businesses. Below is a summary of our most significant sources of competition; for a more detailed description of the competition facing our businesses, see Item 1: Business and refer to the “Competition” discussion within that section. • Cable Communications’ and Sky’s broadband services compete primarily against wireline telecommunications companies, including many that are increasing deployment of fiber-based networks, wireless telecommunications companies offering internet services (using a variety of technologies, including 4G and 5G wireless broadband services and 5G fixed wireless networks), certain electric cooperatives and municipalities in the United States that own and operate their own broadband networks and DBS and newer satellite broadband providers. Broadband- deployment funding initiatives at the federal and state level, including as part of the America Rescue Plan Act of 2021, may result in other service providers deploying new subsidized internet access networks within our footprint, and in cases where we agree to receive subsidies, may impose constraints on how we conduct our businesses in certain areas. Competition for video services offered by Cable Communications and Sky consists primarily of DTC streaming and other OTT service providers, DBS providers and telecommunications companies. Our voice and wireless services primarily compete with wireless and wireline telecommunications providers. Many of our competitors offer bundled products and services with favorable pricing to customers, which has increased competition. • NBCUniversal and Sky face substantial and increasing competition from providers of similar types of entertainment, sports, news and information content, as well as from other forms of entertainment and recreational activities. NBCUniversal and Sky must compete to obtain talent, popular content (including sports programming) and other resources required to successfully operate their businesses. This competition has intensified as DTC streaming and other OTT service providers develop high-quality programming and acquire live sports programming rights to attract viewers. Consolidation of, or cooperation between, our competitors, including suppliers and distributors of content, may increase competition in all of these areas, as may the emergence of additional competitors with significant resources, greater efficiencies of scale, fewer regulatory burdens and more competitive pricing and packaging, that are competing with our businesses in all forms of content distribution and production. For example, such consolidation or cooperation may allow competitors to offer free or lower cost streaming services, potentially on an exclusive basis, through unlimited data-usage plans for internet or wireless phone services. The ability of our businesses to compete effectively also depends on our perceived image and reputation among our various constituencies, including our customers, consumers, advertisers, business partners, employees, investors and government authorities. In addition, our ability to compete will be negatively affected if we do not provide our customers with a satisfactory customer experience. Changes in consumer behavior continue to adversely affect our businesses and challenge existing business models. Distribution platforms for viewing and purchasing content have been, and will likely continue to be, developed that further increase the number of competitors that all our businesses face and challenge existing business models. As consumers increasingly turn to DTC streaming and other OTT services, the number of Cable Communications’ video customers and amount of subscriber fees paid to NBCUniversal’s television networks decrease, even as Cable Communications’ broadband services have become more important to consumers. DTC streaming and other OTT services have driven, and will continue to drive, changes in consumer behavior as consumers seek more control over when, where and how they consume content and access communications services, and how much they pay for such content. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 24 Table of Contents Cable Communications continues to experience accelerated net losses in its video and voice customers. For example, in Europe, more of Sky’s new video customers have recently subscribed, and may continue to subscribe, to NOW, Sky’s DTC streaming service, instead of its traditional DTH video service. Although we have attempted to adapt our video service offerings, enhance our broadband services for changing consumer behaviors, and offer new programming, such as Peacock, the continuing trend of content owners delivering their content directly to consumers rather than through, or in addition to, traditional video distribution channels continues to disrupt traditional distribution business models. The increase in DTC streaming and other OTT service providers, as well as in gaming and virtual reality products and services, also has significantly increased the number of entertainment choices available to consumers, which has intensified audience fragmentation and disaggregated the way that content traditionally has been distributed and viewed by consumers. The use of DTC streaming and other OTT services reduces traditional television viewership, coupled with time-shifting technologies, such as DVR and on demand services, has caused and likely will continue to cause audience ratings declines for our television programming channels. In addition, as more programming providers offer their content directly to consumers through their own apps or platforms, they may reduce the quantity and quality of the programming they license to NBCUniversal or Sky’s television channels or to Peacock. Our results of operations may be impacted as we license our own content exclusively on our content platforms, including Peacock, rather than receiving license revenue from third parties for rights to such content. Our failure to effectively anticipate or adapt to emerging competitors or changes in consumer behavior, including among younger consumers, and shifting business models could have an adverse effect on our competitive position, businesses and results of operations. A decline in advertisers’ expenditures or changes in advertising markets could negatively impact our businesses. We compete for the sale of advertising time with digital media distributors, websites and search engines, other television networks and stations, as well as with all other advertising platforms, such as radio and print. We derive substantial revenue from the sale of advertising, and a decline in expenditures by advertisers, including through traditional linear television distribution models, could negatively impact our results of operations. Declines can be caused by the economic prospects of specific advertisers or industries, increased competition for the leisure time of viewers, such as from social media and video games, audience fragmentation, increased viewing of content through DTC streaming and other OTT service providers, increased use of time-shifting and advertising-blocking technologies, regulatory intervention regarding where and when advertising may be placed, or economic conditions generally. In addition, advertisers have shifted a portion of their total expenditures to digital media, and this trend may continue or accelerate. Their willingness to purchase advertising from us may be adversely affected by lower audience ratings and reduced viewership, which many of NBCUniversal’s networks and some of Sky’s television channels have experienced and likely will continue to experience, or from the level of popularity or perceived acceptance of Peacock. Advertising sales and rates also are dependent on the methodology used for audience measurement and could be negatively affected if methodologies do not accurately reflect actual viewership levels. Programming expenses for our video services are increasing on a per subscriber basis, which could adversely affect Cable Communications’ video businesses. We expect programming expenses for our video services to continue to be the largest single expense item for our Cable Communications segment and to continue to increase on a per subscriber basis. Part of Cable Communications’ programming expenses include payments to certain local broadcast television stations in exchange for their required consent for the retransmission of broadcast network programming to video services customers; we expect to continue to be subject to increasing demands for payment and other concessions from local broadcast television stations. These market factors may be exacerbated by increased consolidation in the media industry, which may further increase our programming expenses. If we are unable to offset programming cost increases through rate increases, the sale of additional services, cost management or other initiatives, the increasing cost of programming could have an adverse effect on our Cable Communications segment’s results of operations. Moreover, as our contracts with content providers expire, there can be no assurance that they will be renewed on acceptable terms, or at all, in which case we may be unable to provide such content as part of Cable Communications’ video services, and our businesses and results of operations could be adversely affected. 25 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents NBCUniversal’s and Sky’s success depends on consumer acceptance of their content, and their businesses may be adversely affected if their content fails to achieve sufficient consumer acceptance. NBCUniversal and Sky create and acquire media and entertainment content, the success of which depends substantially on consumer tastes and preferences that often change in unpredictable ways. The success of these businesses depends on our ability to consistently create, acquire, market and distribute television programming, filmed entertainment, theme park attractions and other content that meet the changing preferences of the broad domestic and international consumer markets. We have invested, and will continue to invest, substantial amounts in our content, including in the production of original content for NBCUniversal, including Peacock, and Sky, in our films and for new theme parks and theme park attractions, before learning the extent to which they will earn consumer acceptance. In addition, there can be no assurance that Peacock will continue to grow or sustain its revenue or user base or successfully compete as a standalone DTC streaming service. NBCUniversal and Sky also obtain a significant portion of their content from third parties, such as movie studios, television production companies, sports organizations and other suppliers, sometimes on an exclusive basis. Competition for popular content, particularly for sports programming, is intense, and at times, we may increase the price we are willing to pay or be outbid by our competitors for popular content. We also may be unable to license popular third- party content for NBCUniversal’s and Sky’s television programming channels if media companies determine that licensing the content to us is not in their strategic best interests. For example, content creators have launched and may continue to launch their own DTC streaming or other OTT services, forgoing license fees from us to provide their content directly to consumers, or they may license their content to our competitors on an exclusive basis. Entering into or renewing contracts for such programming rights or acquiring additional rights has in the past resulted, and may result in the future, in significantly increased costs. Particularly with respect to long-term contracts for sports programming rights for NBCUniversal and Sky, our results of operations and cash flows over the term of a contract depend on a number of factors, including the strength of the advertising market, audience size, the timing and amount of rights payments, and the ability to secure distribution from, impose surcharges on, or obtain carriage on multichannel video providers or to grow and retain subscribers to our own DTC services. There can be no assurance that revenue from these contracts will exceed our costs for the rights, as well as the other costs of producing and distributing the programming. If our content does not achieve sufficient consumer acceptance, or if we cannot obtain or retain rights to popular content on acceptable terms, or at all, NBCUniversal’s and Sky’s businesses may be adversely affected. The loss of programming distribution and licensing agreements, or the renewal of these agreements on less favorable terms, could adversely affect our businesses. NBCUniversal’s cable television networks depend on their ability to secure and maintain distribution agreements with traditional and virtual multichannel video providers. The number of subscribers to NBCUniversal’s cable television networks has been, and likely will continue to be, reduced as a result of fewer subscribers to multichannel video providers. In addition, NBCUniversal’s broadcast television networks depend on their ability to secure and maintain network affiliation agreements with third-party local broadcast television stations in the markets where we do not own the affiliated local broadcast television station. Our owned local broadcast television stations must elect, with respect to retransmission by certain multichannel video providers, either “must-carry” status, in which we require the provider to carry the station without paying any compensation to us, or “retransmission consent,” in which we give up our right to mandatory carriage and instead seek to negotiate the terms and conditions of carriage, including the amount of compensation, if any, paid to us by such provider. Sky also depends on its ability to secure and maintain wholesale distribution agreements for its television channels with multichannel video providers. For all of these types of arrangements, NBCUniversal’s and Sky’s ability to renew agreements on favorable terms may be affected by industry consolidation and new participants entering the market for distribution of content on digital platforms. There can be no assurance that any of these agreements will be entered into or renewed in the future on acceptable terms. The inability to enter into or renew these agreements could reduce our revenues and the reach of our programming, which could adversely affect NBCUniversal’s and Sky’s businesses. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 26 Table of Contents Less favorable European telecommunications access regulations, the loss of Sky’s transmission access agreements with satellite or telecommunications providers or the renewal of these agreements on less favorable terms could adversely affect Sky’s businesses. Sky relies on various third-party telecommunications providers to deliver its video, broadband, voice and wireless phone services to its customers. For example, Sky relies on satellite transponder capacity leased from third parties to provide most of its video services. In addition, under the current regulatory regimes in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Italy, Sky accesses networks owned by third-party telecommunications providers to offer its broadband and phone services, in many cases, on regulated terms, including price. If there is a change in regulation in these markets, the regulated terms could become less favorable. Moreover, specific pricing terms of Sky’s wholesale fiber access are not regulated. As a result, if Sky is only able to enter into or renew its transmission agreements with satellite or telecommunications operators on less favorable terms, it would adversely affect Sky’s ability to compete, and if it is ultimately unable to do so on commercially viable terms or if these operators were to terminate their agreements, Sky may be unable to deliver certain of its services to customers in one or more of the markets in which it operates, which would adversely affect Sky’s businesses and results of operations. Our businesses depend on using and protecting certain intellectual property rights and on not infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We rely on our intellectual property, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, as well as licenses and other agreements with our vendors and other third parties, to use various technologies, conduct our business operations and sell our products and services. Legal challenges to our intellectual property rights and claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties could require that we enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability, or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question, from importing into the United States or other jurisdictions in which we operate hardware or software that uses such intellectual property or from the continuation of our businesses as currently conducted. We may need to change our business practices if any of these events occur, which may limit our ability to compete effectively and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Even if we believe any such challenges or claims are without merit, they can be time-consuming, costly to defend and may divert management’s attention and resources away from our businesses. Moreover, if we are unable to obtain or continue to obtain licenses from our vendors and other third parties on reasonable terms, our businesses could be adversely affected. In addition, intellectual property constitutes a significant part of the value of NBCUniversal’s and Sky’s businesses, and their success is highly dependent on protecting the intellectual property rights of the content they create or acquire against third-party misappropriation, reproduction or infringement. The unauthorized reproduction, distribution or display of copyrighted material negatively affects our ability to generate revenue from the legitimate sale of our content, as well as from the sale of advertising in connection with our content, and increases our costs due to our active enforcement of our intellectual property rights. Piracy and other unauthorized uses of content are made easier, and the enforcement of intellectual property rights more challenging, by technological advances that allow the conversion of programming, films and other content into digital formats, which facilitates the creation, transmission and sharing of high-quality unauthorized copies. In particular, piracy of programming and films through unauthorized distribution platforms continues to present challenges for NBCUniversal’s businesses, and certain entities may stream our broadcast television content illegally online without our consent and without paying us any compensation. It also presents similar challenges for Sky’s businesses, including as a result of illegal retransmission of sports events. While piracy is a challenge in the United States, it is particularly prevalent in many parts of the world that lack developed copyright laws, effective enforcement of copyright laws and technical protective measures like those in effect in the United States. If any U.S. or international laws intended to combat piracy and protect intellectual property rights are repealed or weakened or are not adequately enforced, or if the legal system fails to adapt to new technologies that facilitate piracy, we may be unable to effectively protect our rights, the value of our intellectual property may be negatively impacted and our costs of enforcing our rights may increase. 27 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents We may be unable to obtain necessary hardware, software and operational support. We depend on third-party vendors to supply us with a significant amount of the hardware, software and operational support necessary to provide certain of our products and services. Some of these vendors represent our primary source of supply or grant us the right to incorporate their intellectual property into some of our hardware and software products. While we monitor the operations and financial condition of key vendors in an attempt to detect any potential difficulties, there can be no assurance that we would timely identify any operating or financial difficulties associated with these vendors or that we could effectively mitigate our risks with respect to any such difficulties. If any of these vendors experience operating or financial difficulties or any other supply chain compliance-related issues, if our demand exceeds their capacity or if they breach or terminate their agreements with us or are otherwise unable to meet our specifications or provide the equipment, products or services we need in a timely manner (or at all), or at reasonable prices, our ability to provide some products or services may be adversely affected and we may incur additional costs. Our businesses depend on keeping pace with technological developments. Our success is, to a large extent, dependent on our ability to acquire, develop, adopt and leverage new and existing technologies, and our competitors’ use of certain types of technology and equipment may provide them with a competitive advantage. New technologies can materially impact our businesses in a number of ways, including affecting the demand for our products, the distribution methods of our products and content to our customers, the ways in which our customers can purchase and view our content and the growth of distribution platforms available to advertisers. For example, current and new wireless internet technologies (including 4G and 5G wireless broadband services and 5G fixed wireless networks) continue to evolve rapidly and may allow for greater speed and reliability for those services as compared with prior technologies. In addition, some companies and U.S. municipalities are building advanced fiber-based networks that provide very fast internet access speeds. We expect advances in communications technology to continue to occur in the future. If we choose technology or equipment that is not as effective or attractive to consumers as that employed by our competitors, if we fail to employ technologies desired by consumers before our competitors do so, or if we fail to execute effectively on our technology initiatives, our businesses and results of operations could be adversely affected. We also will continue to incur additional costs as we execute our technology initiatives, such as the deployment of multigigabit symmetrical speeds by leveraging our DOCSIS 4.0 technology and the development and enhancement of various streaming platforms. There can be no assurance that we can execute on these and other initiatives in a manner sufficient to grow or maintain our revenue or to successfully compete in the future. We also may generate less revenue or incur increased costs if changes in our competitors’ product offerings require that we offer certain services or enhancements at a lower or no cost to our customers or that we increase our research and development expenditures. A cyber attack, information or security breach, or technology disruption or failure may negatively impact our ability to conduct our business or result in the misuse of confidential information, all of which could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations. Network and information systems and other technologies, including those that are related to our network management, customer service operations and programming delivery and are embedded in our products and services, are critical to our business activities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are constant attempts by third parties to cause systems-related events and security incidents and to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in security architecture and system design. These incidents include computer hackings, cyber attacks, computer viruses, worms or other destructive or disruptive software, denial of service attacks, phishing attacks, malicious social engineering, and other malicious activities. Incidents also may be caused inadvertently by us or our third-party vendors, such as process breakdowns and vulnerabilities in security architecture or system design. Cyber threats and attacks are constantly evolving and are growing in sophistication and frequency, which increases the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. Some cyber attacks have had, and in the future can have, cascading impacts that unfold with increasing speed across networks, information systems and other technologies across the world and create latent vulnerabilities in our and third-party vendors’ systems and other technologies. Moreover, as we also obtain certain confidential, proprietary and personal information about our customers, personnel and vendors, and in some cases provide this information to third party vendors who agree to protect it, we face the risk that this information may become compromised through a cyber attack or data breach, misappropriation, misuse, leakage, falsification or accidental release or loss of information. Due to the nature of our businesses, we may be at a disproportionately heightened risk of these types of incidents occurring because we maintain certain information necessary to conduct our business in digital form. We also incorporate third-party software (including extensive open-source software), applications, and data hosting and cloud-based services into many aspects of our products, services and operations, as well as rely on service providers to help us perform our business operations, all of which expose us to cyber attacks on such third-party suppliers and service providers. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 28 Table of Contents While we develop and maintain systems, and operate extensive programs that seek to prevent security incidents from occurring, these efforts are costly and must be constantly monitored and updated in the face of sophisticated and rapidly evolving attempts to overcome our security measures and protections. The occurrence of both intentional and unintentional incidents have in the past, and could in the future, cause a variety of potential adverse business impacts. These include degradation or disruption of our network, products and services, excessive call volume to call centers, theft or misuse of our intellectual property or other assets, disruption of the security of our internal systems, products, services or satellite transmission signals, power outages, and the compromise of confidential or technical business information or damage to our or our customers’ or vendors’ data, equipment and reputation. Moreover, the amount and scope of insurance we maintain against losses resulting from any of the foregoing events likely would not be sufficient to fully cover our losses or otherwise adequately compensate us for disruptions to our business that may result. In addition, any such events could lead to litigation or cause regulators in the United States and internationally to impose significant fines or other remedial measures, including with respect to relevant customer privacy rules, or otherwise have an adverse effect on our company. Despite our efforts, we expect that we will continue to experience such incidents in the future, and there can be no assurance that any such incident will not have an adverse effect on our business, reputation or results of operations. Weak economic conditions may have a negative impact on our businesses. A substantial portion of our revenue comes from customers whose spending patterns may be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Weak economic conditions in the United States, in Europe or globally could adversely affect demand for any of our products and services, including advertising, and have a negative impact on our results of operations. For example, weak economic conditions will likely impact our customers’ discretionary spending and as a result, they may reduce the level of services to which they subscribe or may discontinue subscribing to one or more of our services altogether. This risk may be increased by the expanded availability of free or lower cost competitive services, such as certain DTC streaming and other OTT services, or substitute services for broadband and voice services, such as wireless and public Wi-Fi networks. Weak economic conditions also negatively impact our advertising revenue, the performance of our films and home entertainment releases, and attendance and spending in our theme parks. In particular, the success of our theme parks and theatrical releases largely depends on consumer demand for out-of-home entertainment experiences, which may be limited by weakened economic conditions. Weak economic conditions and disruptions in the global financial markets may impact our ability to obtain financing or to refinance existing debt on acceptable terms, if at all, could increase the cost of our borrowings and may increase our exposure to currency fluctuations in countries where we operate. Further, inflationary pressures in the United States, in Europe and globally may also have negative impacts on our cost structure and pricing models and may impact the ability of third parties (including advertisers, customers, suppliers, wholesale distributors, retailers and content creators, among others) to satisfy their obligations to us. Acquisitions and other strategic initiatives present many risks, and we may not realize the financial and strategic goals that we had contemplated. From time to time, we make acquisitions and investments and may pursue other strategic initiatives, such as Peacock. In connection with such acquisitions and strategic initiatives, we may incur significant or unanticipated expenses, fail to realize anticipated benefits and synergies, have difficulty incorporating an acquired or new line of business, disrupt relationships with current and new employees, customers and vendors, incur significant debt, divert the attention of management from our current operations, or have to delay or not proceed with announced transactions or initiatives. These and other circumstances could also result in the impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. Additionally, federal regulatory or antitrust agencies such as the FCC or DOJ or international regulators may impose restrictions on the operation of our businesses as a result of our seeking regulatory approvals for any significant acquisitions and strategic initiatives or may dissuade us from pursuing certain transactions. The occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. 29 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents We face risks relating to doing business internationally that could adversely affect our businesses. We operate our businesses worldwide. There are risks inherent in doing business internationally, including global financial market turmoil; economic volatility and global economic slowdown; currency exchange rate fluctuations and inflationary pressures; political risks; requirements of local laws and customs relating to the publication and distribution of content and the display and sale of advertising; import or export restrictions, tariffs, sanctions and trade regulations; difficulties in developing, staffing and managing foreign operations; issues related to occupational safety and adherence to diverse local labor laws and regulations; and potentially adverse tax developments. Additionally, although we employ foreign currency derivative instruments to hedge certain exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risks, including the British pound, Euro and Japanese yen, the use of such derivative instruments may not be sufficient to mitigate exchange rate fluctuations. Sky’s businesses in particular are also subject to risks relating to uncertainties and effects of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (referred to as “Brexit”), including financial, legal, tax and trade implications. In addition, doing business internationally subjects us to risks relating to political or social unrest, as well as corruption and government regulation, including U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, that impose stringent requirements on how we conduct our foreign operations. Moreover, foreign enforcement of laws and contractual rights in certain countries where we do business can be inconsistent and unpredictable, which may affect our ability to enforce our rights or make investments that we believe otherwise make strategic sense. If any of these events occur or our conduct does not comply with such laws and regulations, our businesses may be adversely affected. Natural disasters, severe weather and other uncontrollable events could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations. Our services, products and properties are vulnerable to damage from the occurrence of certain events, including natural disasters, severe weather events such as hurricanes and wild fires, and a range of other unforeseeable events such as infectious disease outbreaks, including COVID-19, terrorist attacks or other similar events. Such events have in the past caused, and could in the future cause, a variety of adverse business impacts including degradation or disruption of our network, products and services, excessive call volume to call centers, a reduction in demand for our products, services and theme parks, disruption of our internal systems, products, services or satellite transmission signals, power outages, and damage to our or our customers’ or vendors’ equipment and properties. These events also may result in lost revenue and large expenditures to repair or replace damaged properties, products and services and could lead to litigation and fines, including if we inadvertently contributed to damages suffered by others. In addition, COVID-19 and corresponding governmental measures to prevent its spread across the globe have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, our businesses. For example, as a result of COVID-19, we have at times temporarily closed our theme parks or operated them with capacity restrictions. The amount and scope of insurance we maintain against losses resulting from these types of events likely would not be sufficient to fully cover our losses or otherwise adequately compensate us for disruptions to our business that may result. We expect that we will continue to experience some or all of these events in the future, and there can be no assurance that any such event will not have an adverse effect on our business, reputation or results of operations. The loss of key management personnel or popular on-air and creative talent could have an adverse effect on our businesses. We rely on certain key management personnel in the operation of our businesses. While we maintain long-term and emergency transition plans for key management personnel and believe we could either identify internal candidates or attract outside candidates to fill any vacancy created by the loss of any key management personnel, the loss of one or more of our key management personnel could have a negative impact on our businesses. In addition, NBCUniversal and Sky depend on the abilities and expertise of on-air and creative talent. If we fail to attract or retain on-air or creative talent, if the costs to attract or retain such talent increase materially, or if these individuals cause negative publicity or lose their current appeal, our businesses could be adversely affected. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 30 Table of Contents Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Governance Matters We are subject to regulation by federal, state, local and foreign authorities, which impose additional costs and restrictions on our businesses. Our businesses are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, with some also subject to international laws and regulations. In particular, the Communications Act and FCC regulations and policies affect significant aspects of our cable communications and broadcast businesses in the United States. Legislators and regulators at all levels of government frequently consider changing, and sometimes do change, existing statutes, rules or regulations, or interpretations of existing statutes, rules or regulations, or prescribe new ones, any of which may significantly affect our businesses and ability to effectively compete. These legislators and regulators, along with some state attorneys general and foreign governmental authorities, have been active in conducting inquiries and reviews regarding our services. State legislative and regulatory initiatives can create a patchwork of different and/or conflicting state requirements, such as with respect to privacy and Open Internet/net neutrality regulations, that can affect our businesses and ability to effectively compete. Legislative and regulatory activity has increased under the Biden Administration, particularly with respect to broadband networks. For example, Congress has approved tens of billions of dollars in new funding for broadband deployment and adoption initiatives, and may consider other proposals that address communications issues, including whether it should rewrite the entire Communications Act to account for changes in the communications marketplace and whether it should enact new, permanent Open Internet/net neutrality requirements. Federal agencies likewise may consider adopting new regulations for communications services, including broadband. States and localities are also increasingly proposing new regulations impacting communications services, including broader regulation of broadband networks. Any of these regulations could significantly affect our business and compliance costs. In addition, United States and foreign regulators and courts could adopt new interpretations of existing competition or antitrust laws or enact new competition or antitrust laws or regulatory tools that could negatively impact our businesses. Any future legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative actions may increase our costs or impose additional restrictions on our businesses, some of which may be significant. We are unable to predict the outcome or effects of any of these potential actions or any other legislative or regulatory proposals on our businesses. Failure to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our businesses could result in administrative enforcement actions, fines, and civil and criminal liability. Any changes to the legal and regulatory framework applicable to any of our services or businesses could have an adverse impact on our businesses and results of operations. For a more extensive discussion of the significant risks associated with the regulation of our businesses, see Item 1: Business and refer to the “Legislation and Regulation” discussion within that section. Unfavorable litigation or governmental investigation results could require us to pay significant amounts or lead to onerous operating procedures. We are subject from time to time to a number of lawsuits both in the United States and in foreign countries, including claims relating to competition, intellectual property rights (including patents), employment and labor matters, personal injury and property damage, free speech, customer privacy, regulatory requirements, advertising, marketing and selling practices, and credit and collection issues. Greater constraints on the use of arbitration to resolve certain of these disputes could adversely affect our business. We also spend substantial resources complying with various regulatory and government standards, including any related investigations and litigation. We may incur significant expenses defending any such suit or government charge and may be required to pay amounts or otherwise change our operations in ways that could adversely impact our businesses, results of operations or financial condition. Labor disputes, whether involving employees or sports organizations, may disrupt our operations and adversely affect our businesses. Many of NBCUniversal’s writers, directors, actors, technical and production personnel, as well as some of our on-air and creative talent employees, are covered by collective bargaining agreements or works councils. Most of NBCUniversal’s collective bargaining agreements are industry-wide agreements, and we may lack practical control over the negotiations and terms of the agreements. If we are unable to reach agreement with a labor union before the expiration of a collective bargaining agreement, our employees who were covered by that agreement may have a right to strike or take other actions that could adversely affect us, which could disrupt our operations and reduce our revenue, and the resolution of any disputes may increase our costs. There can be no assurance that we will renew our collective bargaining agreements as they expire or that we can renew them on favorable terms or without any work stoppages. 31 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents In addition, labor disputes in sports organizations with which we have programming rights agreements of varying scope and duration could have an adverse effect on our businesses. Our Class B common stock has substantial voting rights and separate approval rights over several potentially material transactions, and our Chairman and CEO has considerable influence over our company through his beneficial ownership of our Class B common stock. 1 Our Class B common stock has a non-dilutable 33 /3% of the combined voting power of our Class A and Class B common stock. This non-dilutable voting power is subject to proportional decrease to the extent the number of shares of Class B common stock is reduced below 9,444,375, which was the number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding on the date of our 2002 acquisition of AT&T Corp.’s cable business, subject to adjustment in specified situations. Stock dividends payable on the Class B common stock in the form of Class B or Class A common stock do not decrease the non-dilutable voting power of the Class B common stock. The Class B common stock also has separate approval rights over several potentially material transactions, even if they are approved by our Board of Directors or by our other shareholders and even if they might be in the best interests of our other shareholders. These potentially material transactions include mergers or consolidations involving us, transactions (such as a sale of all or substantially all of our assets) or issuances of securities that require shareholder approval, transactions that result in any person or group owning shares representing more than 10% of the combined voting power of the resulting or surviving corporation, issuances of Class B common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into Class B common stock, and amendments to our articles of incorporation or by-laws that would limit the rights of holders of our Class B common stock. Brian L. Roberts, our chairman and CEO, beneficially owns all of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock and, accordingly, has considerable influence over our company and the potential ability to transfer effective control by selling the Class B common stock, which could be at a premium. Item 1B: Unresolved Staff Comments None. Item 2: Properties We believe our physical assets are generally in good operating condition and are suitable and adequate for our business operations.

Overview We are a global media and technology company with three primary businesses: Comcast Cable, NBCUniversal and Sky. We present our operations in five reportable business segments (1) Comcast Cable in one reportable business segment, referred to as Cable Communications; (2) NBCUniversal in three reportable business segments: Media, Studios and Theme Parks (collectively, the “NBCUniversal segments”); and (3) Sky in one reportable business segment. Consolidated Revenue, Net Income Attributable to Comcast Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA (in billions) (a) Revenue Net Income Attributable to Comcast Corporation Adjusted EBITDA (a) Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” section on page 52 for additional information, including our definition and our use of Adjusted EBITDA, and for a reconciliation from net income attributable to Comcast Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA. Revenue, Net Income Attributable to Comcast Corporation and Adjusted EBITDA charts are not presented on the same scale. 2022 Developments The following are the more significant developments in our businesses during 2022: Cable Communications • Revenue increased 3.1% to $66.3 billion, reflecting increases in broadband, business services, wireless and advertising revenue, partially offset by declines in video, voice and other revenue. • Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.6% to $29.4 billion primarily due to increases in revenue and decreases in programming expenses, partially offset by increases in other expenses and in technical and product support expenses. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 36 Table of Contents • Operating margin increased from 43.7% to 44.3%. • • Total customer relationships increased by 75,000, total wireless lines increased by 1.3 million, total broadband customers increased by 250,000, and total video customers decreased by 2.0 million. Capital expenditures increased 9.2% to $7.6 billion, reflecting increased spending on line extensions, scalable infrastructure, support capital and customer premise equipment. NBCUniversal • Total NBCUniversal revenue increased 14.2% to $39.2 billion and total NBCUniversal Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.9% to $6.0 billion. • Media segment revenue increased 2.7% to $23.4 billion and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 29.7% to $3.2 billion, including the impact of our broadcasts of the Beijing Olympics, Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup in 2022 and the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Excluding $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion of revenue associated with our broadcasts of the Beijing Olympics, Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup in 2022 and the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, respectively, revenue in the Media segment increased 3.0%, primarily due to increases in distribution and other revenue. • Media segment results include the operations of Peacock, which in 2022 generated revenue of $2.1 billion and costs and expenses of $4.6 billion, compared to revenue of $778 million and costs and expenses of $2.5 billion in 2021. We continued to invest in content and grow our customer base during 2022. • • • Sky Studios segment revenue increased 23.0% to $11.6 billion and Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.6% to $942 million. Revenue increased due to increases in content licensing, theatrical, and home entertainment and other revenue. Studios revenue included licenses of content to our Media and other segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. Theme Parks segment revenue increased 49.3% to $7.5 billion and Adjusted EBITDA increased from $1.3 billion to $2.7 billion, reflecting improved operating conditions related to COVID-19 compared to the prior year and the operations of Universal Beijing Resort, which opened in September 2021. Revenue decreased 11.5% to $17.9 billion. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, Sky revenue decreased due to decreases in direct-to- consumer, content and advertising revenue. • Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.0% to $2.5 billion. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, Sky Adjusted EBITDA increased due to decreases in programming and production expenses, which more than offset increases in direct network costs and other expenses and the decreases in revenue. • We recorded goodwill and long-lived asset impairments related to our Sky segment totaling $8.6 billion in connection with our 2022 annual impairment assessment. The impairments primarily reflected an increased discount rate and reduced estimated future cash flows as a result of macroeconomic conditions in Sky’s territories. Other • Our consolidated joint venture with Charter Communications, now named Xumo, was formed in June 2022 to focus on developing and offering a streaming platform on a variety of devices, including XClass TV smart televisions, and also operates the Xumo Play streaming service. • • SkyShowtime, our direct-to-consumer streaming service joint venture with Paramount Global, launched in select European markets beginning in September 2022 and will launch in additional European markets in 2023. Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA losses of $1.4 billion remained consistent with the prior year primarily due to increased losses from Sky Glass and Xumo, offset by lower administrative costs. • Our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorization of $20 billion, effective September 13, 2022. Repurchased a total of 332 million shares of our Class A common stock for $13.0 billion in 2022 compared to a total of 73.2 million shares of our Class A common stock for $4.0 billion in 2021. Raised our dividend by $0.08 to $1.08 per share on an annualized basis in January 2022 and paid $4.7 billion of dividends in 2022. 37 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents COVID-19 has impacted our businesses in a number of ways, affecting the comparability of periods included in this report. The most significant continuing impacts have resulted from temporary restrictions and closures at our international theme parks. The continuing effects of COVID-19, in addition to worsening U.S., European and global economic conditions and consumer sentiment, may adversely impact demand for our products and services, including advertising, and our results of operations over the near to medium term. In addition, changes in foreign currency exchange rates have impacted our results of operations in our Sky and Theme Parks segments as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in 2022 compared to the prior year.

The primary drivers of the change in revenue from 2021 to 2022 were as follows: • Growth in our NBCUniversal segments driven by increased revenue in the Theme Parks, Studios and Media segments. • Growth in our Cable Communications segment driven by increased broadband, business services, wireless and advertising, partially offset by decreased video, voice and other revenue. • Growth in Corporate and Other revenue driven by sales of Sky Glass televisions, Spectacor revenue and Xumo revenue related to the Xumo Play streaming service. • A decrease in our Sky segment driven by decreased direct-to-consumer, content and advertising revenue, as well as the impact of foreign currency translation. Revenue for our segments and other businesses is discussed separately below under the heading “Segment Operating Results.” Consolidated Costs and Expenses The following graph illustrates the contributions to the change in consolidated costs and expenses, excluding depreciation expense, amortization expense, and goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, made by our Cable Communications, NBCUniversal and Sky segments, as well as by Corporate and Other activities, including adjustments and eliminations. 39 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents The primary drivers of the change in consolidated costs and expenses, excluding depreciation expense, amortization expense, and goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, from 2021 to 2022 were as follows: • An increase in NBCUniversal expenses due to increases in our Studios, Media and Theme Parks segments. • An increase in Cable Communications segment expenses due to increased other expenses and technical and product support costs, partially offset by decreases in programming expense; franchise and other regulatory fees; advertising, marketing and promotion expenses; and customer service expenses. • An increase in Corporate and Other expenses primarily due to costs related to Sky Glass, Xumo and Spectacor. • A decrease in Sky segment expenses primarily due to a decrease in programming and production costs, partially offset by increases in direct network costs and other expenses, as well as the impacts of foreign currency translation. Costs and expenses for our segments and our corporate operations, business development initiatives and other businesses are discussed separately below under the heading “Segment Operating Results.” Consolidated Depreciation and Amortization Expense Year ended December 31 (in millions) Cable Communications NBCUniversal Sky Corporate and Other Comcast Consolidated 2022 7,811 $ 2,562 3,169 279 13,821 $ 2021 7,811 $ 2,466 3,379 147 13,804 $ 2020 7,753 2,307 3,034 6 13,100 $ $ % Change 2021 to 2022 % Change 2020 to 2021 — % 3.9 (6.2) 89.8 0.1 % 0.7 % 6.9 11.4 NM 5.4 % Percentage changes that are considered not meaningful are denoted with NM. Corporate and Other depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to business development initiatives. NBCUniversal depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the opening of Universal Beijing Resort in September 2021. Sky depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to the impacts of foreign currency, partially offset by increased amortization of software. Cable Communications depreciation and amortization expense remained consistent with the prior year. Amortization expense from acquisition-related intangible assets totaled $2.2 billion, $2.4 billion and $2.3 billion for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amounts primarily relate to customer relationship intangible assets recorded in connection with the Sky transaction in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the NBCUniversal transaction in 2011. Consolidated Goodwill and Long-lived Asset Impairments Goodwill and long-lived asset impairments included charges related to our Sky segment totaling $8.6 billion for 2022 recognized in connection with our annual impairment assessment. The impairments primarily reflected an increased discount rate and reduced estimated future cash flows as a result of macroeconomic conditions in Sky’s territories. See “Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates” and Note 10 for further discussion. Consolidated Interest Expense Interest expense decreased in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to a decrease in average debt outstanding and $204 million of charges recorded in 2021 related to the early redemption of senior notes, partially offset by higher weighted-average interest rates. Consolidated Investment and Other Income (Loss), Net Year ended December 31 (in millions) Equity in net income (losses) of investees, net Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net Other income (loss), net Total investment and other income (loss), net Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 40 $ $ 2022 (537) $ (320) (3) (861) $ 2021 2,006 $ 339 211 2,557 $ 2020 (113) 1,014 259 1,160 Table of Contents The change in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to our investment in Atairos. The income (losses) at Atairos were driven by fair value adjustments on its underlying investments with income (loss) of $(434) million and $1.8 billion in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to gains on nonmarketable securities in the prior year, while losses on marketable securities were consistent in both years. The change in other income (loss), net in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily resulted from losses on insurance contracts and equity method investment impairments. Consolidated Income Tax (Expense) Benefit Our effective income tax rate in 2022 and 2021 was 47.0% and 27.5%, respectively. Income tax expense for 2022 was affected by changes in our net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the enactment of tax law changes, including $286 million of benefit in 2022 related to state taxes and $498 million of expense in 2021 in the United Kingdom. Our effective income tax rate for 2022 was also impacted by the goodwill impairment, which was primarily not deductible for tax purposes. See Note 5 for additional information on our effective income tax rate. Consolidated Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests The changes in net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to the operations of our Xumo streaming platform joint venture in the current year and increased losses at Universal Beijing Resort due to operations in the current year compared to pre- opening costs in the prior year in advance of the park’s opening in September 2021 (see Note 8). 41 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Segment Operating Results Our segment operating results are presented based on how we assess operating performance and internally report financial information.

Customer relationships represent the number of residential and business customers that subscribe to at least one of our services. One product, two product, and three or more product customers represent residential customers that subscribe to one, two, or three or more of our services, respectively. For multiple dwelling units (“MDUs”), including buildings located on college campuses, whose residents have the ability to receive additional services, such as additional programming choices or our HD video or DVR services, we count and report customers based on the number of potential billable relationships within each MDU. For MDUs whose residents are not able to receive additional services, the MDU is counted as a single customer. Residential broadband and video customer metrics include certain customers that have prepaid for services. Business customers are generally counted based on the number of locations receiving services within our distribution system, with certain offerings such as Ethernet network services counted as individual customer relationships. Wireless lines represent the number of activated, eligible wireless devices on customers’ accounts. Individual customer relationships may have multiple wireless lines. Customer metrics in 2020 and 2021 did not include customers in certain pandemic-related programs through which portions of our customers temporarily received our services for free. These programs ended in December 2021, resulting in a one-time benefit to net additions in 2022. Average monthly total revenue per customer relationship Average monthly Adjusted EBITDA per customer relationship 2022 161.33 $ 71.53 $ 2021 159.22 $ 69.55 $ $ $ 2020 154.84 65.16 % Change 2022 to 2021 1.3 % 2.9 % % Change 2021 to 2020 2.8 % 6.7 % Average monthly total revenue per customer relationship is impacted by rate adjustments and changes in the types and levels of services received by our residential and business services customers, as well as changes in advertising revenue. While revenue from our residential broadband, video, voice and wireless services is also impacted by changes in the allocation of revenue among services sold in a bundle, the allocation does not impact average monthly total revenue per customer relationship. Each of our services has a different contribution to operating margin. We use average monthly Adjusted EBITDA per customer relationship to evaluate the profitability of our customer base across our service offerings. We believe both metrics are useful to understand the trends in our business, and average monthly Adjusted EBITDA per customer relationship is useful particularly as we continue to focus on growing our higher-margin businesses. 43 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Cable Communications Segment – Revenue We are a leading provider of broadband, video, voice, wireless, and other services to residential customers in the United States under the Xfinity brand; we also provide these and other services to business customers and sell advertising. We market our services to residential and business customers individually and as bundled services at a discounted rate. Residential revenue includes amounts earned for providing our broadband, video, voice and wireless services, including equipment and installation services. Residential broadband revenue also includes revenue earned related to our customers’ use of Flex and streaming services, and wireless revenue also includes device sales. Revenue from each of our residential services is impacted by changes in the allocation of revenue among services sold in a bundle. Franchise and regulatory fees billed to our customers are included with the relevant service, which primarily relate to video and voice services. Broadband revenue increased in 2022 primarily due to an increase in average rates and an increase in the number of residential broadband customers. Video revenue decreased in 2022 primarily due to a decline in the number of residential video customers, partially offset by an increase in average rates. We expect that the number of residential video customers will continue to decline, negatively impacting video revenue as a result of the competitive environment and shifting video consumption patterns. Voice revenue decreased in 2022 primarily due to a decline in the number of residential voice customers. We expect that the number of residential voice customers and voice revenue will continue to decline. Wireless revenue increased in 2022 primarily due to an increase in the number of customer lines and device sales. Business services revenue from our business customers includes our service offerings for small business locations, which primarily include broadband, voice and video services, as well as our solutions for medium-sized customers and larger enterprises, and cellular backhaul services to mobile network operators. Business services revenue increased in 2022 primarily due to increases in average rates and customer relationships compared to the prior year and due to the acquisition of Masergy in October 2021. Advertising revenue consists of the sale of advertising on linear television and digital platforms to local, regional and national advertisers, including where we represent the advertising sales efforts of other multichannel video providers, and revenue from our advanced advertising business. Advertising revenue increased in 2022 primarily due to increases in political advertising and revenue from our advanced advertising business. These increases were partially offset by lower local and national advertising revenue, and by advertising revenue at our Xumo Play streaming service, which is a part of our Xumo streaming platform that has been reported in Corporate and Other since June 2022. Other revenue primarily relates to our security and automation services and also includes revenue related to residential customer late fees and related to other services, such as the licensing of our technology platforms to other multichannel video providers. Cable Communications Segment – Costs and Expenses Programming expenses, which represent our most significant operating expense, are the fees we incur to provide content to our customers. These expenses represent the programming license fees charged by content providers, including the fees related to the distribution of cable and broadcast network programming and fees charged for retransmission of the signals from local broadcast television stations. Programming expenses decreased in 2022 primarily due to a decline in the number of video subscribers, partially offset by contractual rate increases. We expect that our programming expenses will be impacted by rate increases to a greater extent in 2023 compared to 2022 due to the timing of contract renewals, which will be offset by expected declines in the number of residential video customers. Technical and product support expenses include costs to complete service call and installation activities; costs for network operations, product development, fulfillment and provisioning; the cost of wireless handsets, tablets and smart watches sold to customers; and monthly wholesale wireless access fees. Technical and product support expenses increased in 2022 primarily due to increased costs associated with our wireless phone service resulting from increases in device sales and the number of customers receiving the service, and the acquisition of Masergy, partially offset by lower personnel costs. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 44 Table of Contents Customer service expenses include the personnel and other costs associated with handling the sale of services to customers and customer service activity. Customer service expenses decreased in 2022 primarily due to lower labor costs as a result of reduced call volumes. Advertising, marketing and promotion expenses include the costs associated with attracting new customers and promoting our service offerings. Advertising, marketing and promotion expenses decreased in 2022 primarily due to a decrease in spending. Franchise and other regulatory fees represent the fees we are required to pay to federal, state and local authorities, including fees under the terms of our cable franchise agreements. Franchise and other regulatory fees decreased in 2022 primarily due to a decrease in the revenue to which the fees apply and a decrease in the related rates of these fees. Other expenses primarily include administrative personnel costs; fees paid to third-party channels for which Cable represents the advertising sales efforts; other business support costs, including building and office expenses, taxes and billing costs; and bad debt. Other expenses increased in 2022 primarily due to lower levels of bad debt expense in the prior year and severance charges in the current year. Cable Communications Segment – Operating Margin Our operating margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We believe this metric is useful particularly as we continue to focus on growing our higher-margin businesses and improving overall cost management. Our operating margin was 44.3%, 43.7% and 42.1% in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 45 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents NBCUniversal Segments Overview 2022 NBCUniversal Segments Operating Results (a) Revenue (in billions) Adjusted EBITDA (in billions) (a) Segment details in the charts exclude the results of NBCUniversal Headquarters and Other and Eliminations and therefore the amounts do not equal the total.

Excluding $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion of incremental revenue associated with the broadcasts of these events in 2022 and 2021, respectively, advertising revenue remained consistent with the prior year primarily due to a decrease in revenue at our networks, offset by increased revenue at Peacock. The decreases at our networks were primarily due to continued audience ratings declines and the impact of additional sporting events in the prior year, partially offset by higher pricing in the current year and increased political advertising. Distribution revenue includes the fees received from the distribution of our cable and broadcast television network programming to traditional and virtual multichannel video providers and from NBC-affiliated and Telemundo-affiliated local broadcast television stations. Distribution revenue also includes distribution revenue associated with our periodic broadcasts of the Olympic Games and subscription fees received from Peacock subscribers.

Excluding $327 million and $522 million of incremental revenue associated with our broadcasts of the Beijing and Tokyo Olympics in 2022 and 2021, respectively, distribution revenue increased primarily due to increased revenue at Peacock. Distribution revenue at our networks remained consistent with the prior year due to contractual rates increases, offset by a decline in the number of subscribers. Other revenue primarily relates to the licensing of our owned programming and revenue generated by various digital properties. * * * We expect the number of subscribers and audience ratings at our networks will continue to decline as a result of the competitive environment and shifting video consumption patterns. Media segment total revenue included $2.1 billion and $778 million related to Peacock in 2022 and 2021, respectively. 47 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Media Segment – Costs and Expenses Programming and production costs include the amortization of owned and licensed programming, including sports rights, direct production costs, production overhead, on-air talent costs and costs associated with the distribution of our programming to third-party networks and other distribution platforms. Programming and production costs increased in 2022 primarily due to higher programming costs at Peacock and costs associated with our broadcasts of the Beijing Olympics, Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup in 2022, partially offset by costs associated with our broadcast of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Other operating and administrative expenses include salaries, employee benefits, rent and other overhead expenses. Other operating and administrative expenses increased in 2022 primarily due to increased costs related to Peacock. Advertising, marketing and promotion expenses consist primarily of the costs associated with promoting content on our networks, Peacock and other digital properties, as well as costs associated with promoting our platforms and digital properties. Advertising, marketing and promotion expenses increased in 2022 primarily due to higher marketing costs related to Peacock. Media segment total costs and expenses included $4.6 billion and $2.5 billion related to Peacock in 2022 and 2021, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant costs related to additional content and marketing as we invest in the platform and attract new customers. * * * Studios Segment Results of Operations Year ended December 31 (in millions) Revenue Content licensing Theatrical Home entertainment and other Total revenue Costs and expenses Programming and production Other operating and administrative Advertising, marketing and promotion Total costs and expenses Adjusted EBITDA Studios Segment – Revenue 2022 2021 2020 % Change 2021 to 2022 % Change 2020 to 2021 $ 8,713 $ 1,607 1,302 11,622 8,186 797 1,697 10,680 7,565 $ 691 1,193 9,449 6,820 667 1,078 8,565 $ 942 $ 884 $ 6,557 418 1,159 8,134 5,413 813 867 7,093 1,041 15.2 % 132.5 9.2 23.0 20.0 19.4 57.4 24.7 6.6 % 15.4 % 65.4 2.9 16.2 26.0 (18.0) 24.3 20.7 (15.1)% Content licensing revenue relates to the licensing of our owned film and television content in the United States and internationally to cable, broadcast and premium networks and DTC streaming service providers, as well as through video on demand and pay-per-view services provided by multichannel video providers and OTT service providers. Content licensing revenue increased in 2022 primarily due to the timing of when content was made available by our television and film studios under licensing agreements, including additional sales of content as production levels returned to normal, partially offset by the impact of a new licensing agreement for content that became exclusively available for streaming on Peacock in 2021. Theatrical revenue relates to the worldwide distribution of our produced and acquired films for exhibition in movie theaters. Theatrical revenue increased in 2022 primarily due to the strong performances of releases in our 2022 slate, including Jurassic World: Dominion and Minions: The Rise of Gru. Home entertainment and other revenue consists of the sale of content on DVDs/Blu-ray discs and through digital distribution services, as well as the production and licensing of live stage plays and the distribution of content produced by third parties. The overall DVD/Blu-ray discs market continues to experience declines due to the maturation of the DVD/Blu-ray disc format from increasing shifts in consumer behavior toward digital distribution services and subscription rental services, both of which generate less revenue per transaction than DVD/Blu-ray disc sales, as well as due to piracy. Home entertainment and other revenue increased in 2022 primarily due to increased revenue related to our live stage plays, which were adversely impacted by theater and entertainment venue closures in the prior year. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 48 Table of Contents Studios Segment – Costs and Expenses Programming and production costs include the amortization of capitalized film and television production and acquisition costs, residuals and participations payments, and distribution expenses. The costs associated with producing film and television content have generally increased in recent years and may continue to increase in the future. Programming and production costs increased in 2022 due to higher costs associated with content licensing sales and theatrical releases in the current year. Other operating and administrative expenses include salaries, employee benefits, rent and other overhead expenses. Other operating and administrative expenses increased in 2022 primarily due to higher costs associated with live stage plays.

Theme parks revenue primarily relates to guest spending at our theme parks, including ticket sales and in-park spending and our consumer products business. Theme park segment revenue increased in 2022 primarily due to improved operating conditions compared to 2021, when our theme parks in Orlando, Hollywood and Japan were impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, as well as the operations of Universal Beijing Resort, which opened in September 2021. Results at our international theme parks in the current year have been negatively impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and by temporary restrictions and closures that were reinstituted in certain periods due to COVID-19. Theme parks costs and expenses consist primarily of theme park operations, including repairs and maintenance and related administrative expenses; food, beverage and merchandise costs; labor costs; and sales and marketing costs. Theme park segment costs and expenses increased in 2022 primarily as a result of decreased operating costs in the prior year due to COVID-19 restrictions at our theme parks and due to operating costs associated with Universal Beijing Resort in the current year, which were higher than pre-opening costs in the prior year.

Prior year amounts include the impact of a new licensing agreement for content that became exclusively available for streaming on Peacock during the first quarter of 2021. Results of operations for NBCUniversal may be impacted as we continue to use content on our platforms, including Peacock, rather than licensing the content to third parties. For the years ended 2022, 2021 and 2020, approximately 41%, 42% and 34%, respectively, of Studios segment content licensing revenue resulted from transactions with other segments, primarily with the Media segment.

Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 50 Table of Contents Average monthly direct-to-consumer revenue per customer relationship is impacted by rate adjustments and changes in the types and levels of services received by Sky’s customers. Each of Sky’s services has a different contribution to Adjusted EBITDA. We believe average monthly direct-to-consumer revenue per customer relationship is useful in understanding the trends in our business across all of our direct-to-consumer service offerings. Sky Segment – Revenue Direct-to-consumer revenue primarily relates to video services provided to both residential and business customers, as well as broadband, voice and wireless services. Video service revenue includes both DTH video services and our NOW streaming service. Revenue from our wireless customers also includes device sales. Direct-to-consumer revenue decreased in 2022 compared to 2021. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, direct-to-consumer revenue decreased primarily due to a lower number of customer relationships during the year and a decrease in average revenue per customer. The lower number of customer relationships was driven by a decrease in Italy, partially offset by increases in the United Kingdom and Germany. The decrease in average revenue per customer relationship reflects decreases in average rates in Italy and Germany, partially offset by an increase in average rates in the United Kingdom. The decline in customer relationships and average revenue per customer relationship in Italy included the effects of the reduced broadcast rights for Serie A, which we had held through the end of the 2020-21 season. Beginning with the 2021-22 season in the third quarter of 2021 and through the 2023-24 season, we have nonexclusive broadcast rights to fewer matches. Sky results have been affected by worsening macroeconomic conditions in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Content revenue relates to the distribution of our owned television channels on third-party platforms and the licensing of owned and licensed content. Content revenue decreased in 2022 compared to 2021. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, content revenue decreased primarily due to lower sports programming licensing revenue driven by changes in licensing agreements in Italy and Germany, partially offset by timing of licensing of owned content to third-party platforms. Advertising revenue consists of the sale of advertising across our platforms, including our owned television channels, and where we represent the sales efforts of third-party channels, as well as revenue from various technology, tools and solutions relating to our advertising business. Advertising revenue decreased in 2022 compared to 2021. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, advertising revenue decreased primarily due to decreased advertising revenue associated with Serie A, partially offset by an overall market improvement in the United Kingdom in the first half of the year compared to the prior year. Sky Segment – Costs and Expenses Programming and production costs primarily relate to content broadcast on our channels. These costs include the amortization of owned and licensed programming, including sports rights, direct production costs, production overhead and on-air talent costs. These costs also include the fees associated with programming distribution agreements for channels owned by third parties. Programming and production costs decreased in 2022 compared to 2021. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, these costs decreased primarily reflecting lower costs associated with Serie A in Italy as a result of the reduced broadcast rights and the timing of recognition of costs related to sporting events. The timing impacts included the delayed start of 2020-21 European football seasons due to COVID-19 and the shifting of certain football matches and the related programming expense to the first half of 2023 due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022. Programming and production costs were also impacted by lower costs associated with other sports contracts in Germany in the current year. Direct network costs primarily include costs directly related to the supply of broadband and voice services, including wireless services for wireless handsets and tablets, to our customers. This includes call costs, monthly wholesale access fees and other variable costs associated with our network. In addition, it includes the cost of wireless devices sold to customers. Direct network costs increased in 2022 compared to 2021. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, these expenses increased primarily due to an increase in costs associated with Sky’s broadband and wireless phone services as a result of increases in the number of customers receiving these services and wireless device sales. Other expenses include costs related to marketing, fees paid to third-party channels for which Sky represents the advertising sales efforts, subscriber management, supply chain, transmission, technology, fixed networks and general administrative costs. Other expenses decreased in 2022 compared to 2021. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, these expenses increased primarily due to higher administrative costs, including severance charges, partially offset by lower fees paid to third-party channels relating to advertising sales. 51 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Corporate, Other and Eliminations Corporate and Other Results of Operations Year ended December 31 (in millions) Revenue Costs and expenses Adjusted EBITDA 2022 863 $ 2,223 (1,361) $ 2021 461 $ 1,819 (1,358) $ 2020 248 2,033 (1,785) $ $ % Change 2021 to 2022 87.1 % 22.3 (0.2)% % Change 2020 to 2021 86.1 % (10.5) 23.9 % Corporate and Other primarily includes overhead and personnel costs, the results of other business initiatives and Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Corporate and Other revenue increased in 2022 primarily due to sales of Sky Glass smart televisions, increases at Comcast Spectacor compared to the prior year which included the impacts of COVID-19 and revenue at Xumo related to the Xumo Play streaming service. Corporate and Other expenses increased in 2022 primarily due to costs related to Sky Glass and Xumo, partially offset by lower administrative costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is the primary basis used to measure the operational strength and performance of our businesses as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our businesses. This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of certain of our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. It is also unaffected by our capital and tax structures, and by our investment activities, including the results of entities that we do not consolidate, as our management excludes these results when evaluating our operating performance. Our management and Board of Directors use this financial measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. It is also a significant performance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation before net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, investment and other income (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 52 Table of Contents We reconcile consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Comcast Corporation. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Comcast Corporation, or net cash provided by operating activities that we have reported in accordance with GAAP.

Constant Currency Constant currency and constant currency growth rates are non-GAAP financial measures that present our results of operations excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Certain of our businesses, including Sky, have operations outside the United States that are conducted in local currencies. As a result, the comparability of the financial results reported in U.S. dollars is affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In our Sky segment, we use constant currency and constant currency growth rates to evaluate the underlying performance of the business, and we believe it is helpful for investors to present operating results on a comparable basis year over year to evaluate its underlying performance. Constant currency and constant currency growth rates are calculated by comparing the prior year results adjusted to reflect the average exchange rates from the current year rather than the actual exchange rates that were in effect during the respective prior year.

We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our current and long-term liquidity and capital requirements, including fixed charges, through our cash flows from operating activities; existing cash, cash equivalents and investments; available borrowings under our existing credit facility; and our ability to obtain future external financing. Refer to the “Contractual Obligations” discussion below for additional information regarding our cash requirements. We anticipate that we will continue to use a substantial portion of our cash flows from operating activities in repaying our debt obligations, funding our capital expenditures and cash paid for intangible assets, investing in business opportunities, and returning capital to shareholders. We maintain significant availability under our revolving credit facility and our commercial paper program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. Our commercial paper program generally provides a lower-cost source of borrowing to fund our short-term working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2022, amounts available under our revolving credit facility, net of amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program and outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, totaled $10.4 billion. We entered into a new revolving credit facility in March 2021 (see Note 6). We are subject to customary covenants and restrictions set forth in agreements related to debt issued at Comcast and certain of our subsidiaries, including the indentures governing our public debt securities and the credit agreement governing the Comcast revolving credit facility. Our credit facility contains a financial covenant pertaining to leverage, which is the ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined in the credit facility. Compliance with this financial covenant is tested on a quarterly basis under the terms of the credit facility. As of December 31, 2022, we met this financial covenant by a significant margin, and we expect to remain in compliance with this financial covenant and other covenants related to our debt. The covenants and restrictions in our revolving credit facility do not apply to certain entities, including Sky and our international theme parks.

The decrease in payments of interest in 2022 was primarily due to the debt exchange in August 2021, including the impact of timing of interest payments, reduced debt balances following repayments in the prior year and cash proceeds from the early settlement of interest rate swaps related to the collateralized obligation. The increase in income tax payments in 2022 was primarily due to the tax benefit from our senior notes exchange in 2021, which reduced tax payments by $1.3 billion in the prior year, higher taxable income and higher payments relating to the preceding tax year. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 54 Table of Contents The decrease in proceeds from investments and other compared to 2021 was primarily due to decreased cash distributions received from equity method investments (see Note 8). Investing Activities Our most significant recurring investing activity has been capital expenditures, which are discussed further below. The increase in cash used in investing activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to purchases of short-term investments throughout the current year, increased capital expenditures and increased cash paid for intangible assets related to software development. These increases were partially offset by the acquisition of Masergy in 2021, increased proceeds from the sale of investments, including maturities of short-term investments in the current year, and decreased cash paid related to the construction of Universal Beijing Resort in the current year. In 2022, we formed the SkyShowtime joint venture with Paramount Global. The partners have committed to a multiyear funding plan, which began in 2022. Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures increased in 2022 primarily due to increased spending in our Theme Parks segment primarily related to Epic Universe and increases in our Cable Communications segment, partially offset by decreases in spending in our Sky segment. The costs associated with the construction of Universal Beijing Resort are presented separately in our consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 8. Our most significant capital expenditures are in our Cable Communications segment, and we expect that this will continue in the future. Cable Communications’ capital expenditures increased primarily due to increased spending on line extensions, scalable infrastructure, support capital and customer premise equipment. The table below summarizes the capital expenditures we incurred in our Cable Communications segment in 2022, 2021 and 2020. Year ended December 31 (in millions) Customer premise equipment Scalable infrastructure Line extensions Support capital Total 2022 2,293 $ 2,851 1,824 600 7,568 $ 2021 2,203 $ 2,658 1,565 503 6,930 $ 2020 2,333 2,289 1,394 589 6,605 $ $ We expect our capital expenditures for 2023 will be focused on increased investment in scalable infrastructure as we increase capacity and execute our plans to upgrade our network to deliver multigigabit speeds, in line extensions for the expansion of both business services and residential passings in our Cable Communications segment, and in the continued deployment of wireless gateways. In addition, we expect to continue investment in existing and new attractions at our Universal theme parks, including the development of Epic Universe. Capital expenditures for subsequent years will depend on numerous factors, including competition, changes in technology, regulatory changes, the timing and rate of deployment of new services, the capacity required for existing services, the timing of new attractions at our theme parks and potential acquisitions. Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities decreased in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to higher repurchases and repayments of debt in the prior year, the change in other financing activities and proceeds from short-term borrowings, net in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by increases in repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program and employee plans and dividends paid in the current year. Other financing activities included payments related to the redemption of NBCUniversal Enterprise redeemable subsidiary preferred stock in the prior year, the settlement of derivative contracts and initial contributions related to our Xumo streaming platform joint venture received in the current year under a multiyear funding plan. In 2022, we issued $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-rate senior notes maturing between 2025 and 2032, had net borrowings of $665 million under our commercial paper program, and had borrowings of $252 million under the Universal Beijing Resort term loan. In 2022, we made total debt repayments of $2.3 billion, primarily related to senior notes maturing in 2022. We have made, and may from time to time in the future make, optional repayments on our debt obligations, which may include repurchases or exchanges of our outstanding public notes and debentures, depending on various factors, such as market conditions. Any such repurchases may be effected through privately negotiated transactions, market transactions, tender offers, redemptions or otherwise. See Notes 6 and 8 for additional information on our financing activities. 55 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Share Repurchases and Dividends In the second quarter of 2021, we restarted our share repurchase program, which had been paused since the beginning of 2019. In September 2022, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorization of $20 billion, effective September 13, 2022. During 2022, we repurchased a total of 332.0 million shares of our Class A common stock for $13.0 billion. As of December 31, 2022, we had $16.0 billion remaining under the new share repurchase program authorization. Under the new authorization, which does not have an expiration date, we expect to repurchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in the open market or in private transactions, subject to market and other conditions. Our Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends totaling $4.8 billion in 2022. We paid dividends of $4.7 billion in 2022. In January 2023, our Board of Directors approved an 7.4% increase in our dividend to $1.16 per share on an annualized basis. We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, although each dividend is subject to approval by our Board of Directors. The chart below summarizes our share repurchases under our publicly announced share repurchase program authorization and dividends paid in 2022, 2021 and 2020. In addition, we paid $321 million and $674 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to employee taxes associated with the administration of our share-based compensation plans. Share Repurchases Under Share Repurchase Program Authorization and Dividends Paid (in billions) Contractual Obligations The following table summarizes our most significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022: As of December 31, 2022 (in billions) Debt obligations Programming and production obligations (a) $ (a) Amounts represent the face value of debt and exclude interest payments and a collateralized obligation (see Note 8).

As of December 31, 2022, our debt has a weighted-average time to maturity of approximately 17 years and, including the effects of our derivative financial instruments, our debt had a weighted-average interest rate based on the stated coupons of 3.59% and 93% of our debt obligations were fixed-rate debt. We typically fund and expect to continue to be able to fund debt maturities and interest payments with cash flows generated in our operations; existing cash, cash equivalents and investments; or proceeds from additional external financing. See Note 6 and Item 7A for additional information on our debt. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 56 Table of Contents We also have significant contractual obligations associated with our programming and production expenses. NBCUniversal and Sky have multiyear agreements for broadcast rights of sporting events, such as for the NFL, the Olympics and European football leagues, which represent the substantial majority of our programming and production obligations. Cable Communications’ programming expenses related to the distribution of third-party programmed channels are generally acquired under multiyear distribution agreements, with fees typically based on the number of customers that receive the programming and the extent of distribution. As a result, the amounts included in the table above under fixed or minimum guaranteed commitments for these distribution agreements are not material and we expect the total fees to be paid under these arrangements to be significantly higher than the amounts included above. We have funded and expect to continue to be able to fund our programming and production obligations with the cash generated from our operations. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 36% of cash payments related to our programming and production obligations are due after five years, of which the vast majority related to multiyear sports rights agreements. See Note 4 for additional information on programming and production costs. Our other contractual obligations relate primarily to operating leases (see Note 15) and other arrangements recorded in our consolidated balance sheet and/or disclosed in the notes to our financial statements, including benefit plan obligations (see Note 11), liabilities for uncertain tax positions (see Note 5), our remaining unfunded capital commitment to Atairos (see Note 8) and a contractual obligation related to an interest held by a third party in the revenue of certain theme parks (see Note 15). Guarantee Structure Our debt is primarily issued at Comcast, although we also have debt at certain of our subsidiaries as a result of acquisitions and other issuances. A substantial amount of this debt is subject to guarantees by Comcast and by certain subsidiaries that we have put in place to simplify our capital structure. We believe this guarantee structure provides liquidity benefits to debt investors and helps to simplify credit analysis with respect to relative value considerations of guaranteed subsidiary debt.

See Note 8 for additional information. 57 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Cross-Guarantees Comcast, NBCUniversal and Comcast Cable (the “Guarantors”) fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee each other’s debt securities. NBCUniversal and Comcast Cable also guarantee other borrowings of Comcast, including its revolving credit facility. These guarantees rank equally with all other general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the respective Guarantors. However, the obligations of the Guarantors under the guarantees are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of their respective non-guarantor subsidiaries. The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount that would not render such Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of U.S. and non-U.S. law. Each Guarantor’s obligations will remain in effect until all amounts payable with respect to the guaranteed securities have been paid in full. However, a guarantee by NBCUniversal or Comcast Cable of Comcast’s debt securities, or by NBCUniversal of Comcast Cable’s debt securities, will terminate upon a disposition of such Guarantor entity or all or substantially all of its assets. The Guarantors are each holding companies that principally hold investments in, borrow from and lend to non-guarantor subsidiary operating companies; issue and service third-party debt obligations; repurchase shares and pay dividends; and engage in certain corporate and headquarters activities. The Guarantors are generally dependent on non-guarantor subsidiary operating companies to fund these activities. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the combined Guarantors have noncurrent notes payable to non-guarantor subsidiaries of $128 billion and $126 billion, respectively, and noncurrent notes receivable from non-guarantor subsidiaries of $30 billion. This financial information is that of the Guarantors presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances between the Guarantors eliminated. The combined financial information excludes financial information of non-guarantor subsidiaries. The underlying net assets of the non-guarantor subsidiaries are significantly in excess of the Guarantor obligations. Excluding investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries, external debt and the noncurrent notes payable and receivable with non-guarantor subsidiaries, the Guarantors do not have material assets, liabilities or results of operations. One-Way Guarantees Comcast provides full and unconditional guarantees of certain debt issued by Sky, including all of its senior notes, and other consolidated subsidiaries not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the SEC. Comcast also provides a full and unconditional guarantee of $138 million principal amount of subordinated debt issued by Comcast Holdings. Comcast’s obligations under this guarantee are subordinated and subject, in right of payment, to the prior payment in full of all of Comcast’s senior indebtedness, including debt guaranteed by Comcast on a senior basis, and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of its non-guarantor subsidiaries (for purposes of this Comcast Holdings discussion, Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal are included within the non-guarantor subsidiary group). Comcast’s obligations as guarantor will remain in effect until all amounts payable with respect to the guaranteed debt have been paid in full. However, the guarantee will terminate upon a disposition of Comcast Holdings or all or substantially all of its assets. Comcast Holdings is a consolidated subsidiary holding company that directly or indirectly holds 100% and approximately 37% of our equity interests in Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Comcast and Comcast Holdings, the combined issuer and guarantor of the guaranteed subordinated debt, have noncurrent senior notes payable to non-guarantor subsidiaries of $97 billion and $96 billion, respectively, and noncurrent notes receivable from non- guarantor subsidiaries of $28 billion and $29 billion, respectively. This financial information is that of Comcast and Comcast Holdings presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances between Comcast and Comcast Holdings eliminated. The combined financial information excludes financial information of non-guarantor subsidiaries of Comcast and Comcast Holdings. The underlying net assets of the non-guarantor subsidiaries of Comcast and Comcast Holdings are significantly in excess of the obligations of Comcast and Comcast Holdings. Excluding investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries, external debt, and the noncurrent notes payable and receivable with non-guarantor subsidiaries, Comcast and Comcast Holdings do not have material assets, liabilities or results of operations. Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. We base our judgments on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 58 Table of Contents We believe our judgments and related estimates associated with the valuation and impairment testing of goodwill and cable franchise rights and the accounting for film and television costs are critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting judgments and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the related disclosures below. See also Notes 4 and 10. Valuation and Impairment Testing of Goodwill and Cable Franchise Rights We assess the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including cable franchise rights, annually as of July 1, or more frequently whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The assessment of recoverability may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. A quantitative assessment is performed if the qualitative assessment results in a more-likely-than-not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. In connection with our impairment assessment process, in order to support our qualitative assessments, we typically perform quantitative assessments of our cable franchise rights and reporting units approximately once every four years. Goodwill Goodwill results from business combinations and represents the excess amount of the consideration paid over the identifiable assets and liabilities recorded in the acquisition. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and have concluded that our reporting units are generally the same as our reportable segments. We evaluate the determination of our reporting units periodically or whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances occur. When performing a quantitative assessment, we estimate the fair values of our reporting units primarily based on a discounted cash flow analysis that involves significant judgment, including market participant estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated by the business and the selection of discount rates. When performing this analysis, we also consider multiples of earnings from comparable public companies and recent market transactions. Pursuant to our practice of performing quantitative assessments of our reporting units approximately once every four years, our current year impairment testing for goodwill in our Cable Communications and NBCUniversal segments was based on quantitative assessments. Based on these assessments, the estimated fair values of these reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying values and no impairment was required. The goodwill in our Sky segment resulted from our acquisition of Sky in the fourth quarter of 2018 and has been in close proximity to its carrying value. We performed a quantitative assessment for goodwill in our Sky reporting unit in the current year and determined that the fair value had declined, resulting in an impairment of $8.1 billion (see Note 10). In preparing the quantitative assessment, we estimated the fair value of the Sky reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. The significant judgments in the discounted cash flow analysis for the Sky reporting unit included estimated future cash flows generated by the business, including the estimated impacts of macroeconomic conditions in the Sky territories, and the selection of the discount rate, which increased by 125 basis points compared to the analysis in 2021. We evaluated the fair value indicated under the discounted cash flow model considering multiples of earnings from comparable public companies and recent market transactions. Changes in market conditions, laws and regulations, and key assumptions made in future quantitative assessments, including expected cash flows, competitive factors and discount rates, could negatively impact the results of future impairment testing and could result in the recognition of an additional impairment charge. Cable Franchise Rights Our cable franchise rights assets result from agreements we have with state and local governments that allow us to construct and operate a cable business within a specified geographic area. The value of a franchise is derived from the economic benefits we receive from the right to solicit new customers and to market additional services in a particular service area. The amounts we record for cable franchise rights are primarily a result of cable system acquisitions. Typically when we acquire a cable system, the most significant asset we record is the value of the cable franchise rights. Often these cable system acquisitions include multiple franchise areas. We currently serve more than 6,500 franchise areas in the United States. We have concluded that our cable franchise rights have an indefinite useful life since there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the period over which these rights will contribute to our cash flows. Accordingly, we do not amortize our cable franchise rights. For purposes of impairment testing, we have grouped the recorded values of our various cable franchise rights into our three Cable Communications divisions or units of account. We evaluate the unit of account periodically to ensure our impairment testing is performed at an appropriate level. 59 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents When performing a quantitative assessment, we estimate the fair values of our cable franchise rights primarily based on a discounted cash flow analysis that involves significant judgment, including the estimate of future cash flows and the selection of discount rates. Pursuant to our practice of performing quantitative assessments of cable franchise rights approximately once every four years, our current year impairment testing was based on a quantitative assessment. Based on this assessment, the estimated fair values of our franchise rights substantially exceeded their carrying values and no impairment was required. Changes in market conditions, laws and regulations and key assumptions made in future quantitative assessments, including expected cash flows, competitive factors and discount rates, could negatively impact the results of future impairment testing and could result in the recognition of an impairment charge. Film and Television Content We capitalize costs for owned film and television content, including direct costs, production overhead, print costs, development costs and interest, as well as acquired libraries. We have determined that the predominant monetization strategy for the substantial majority of our content is on an individual basis. Amortization for owned content predominantly monetized on an individual basis and accrued costs associated with participations and residuals payments are recorded using the individual film forecast computation method, which recognizes the costs in the same ratio as the associated ultimate revenue. Our estimates of ultimate revenue for films generally include revenue from all sources that are expected to be earned within 10 years from the date of a film’s initial release. These estimates are based on the distribution strategy and historical performance of similar content, as well as factors unique to the content itself. The most sensitive factor affecting our estimate of ultimate revenue for a film intended for theatrical release is the film’s theatrical performance, as subsequent revenue from the licensing and sale of a film has historically exhibited a high correlation to its theatrical performance. Upon a film’s release, our estimates of revenue from succeeding markets, including from content licensing across multiple platforms and home entertainment sales, are revised based on historical relationships and an analysis of current market trends. With respect to television series or other owned television programming, the most sensitive factor affecting our estimate of ultimate revenue is whether the series can be successfully licensed beyond its initial license window. Initial estimates of ultimate revenue are limited to the amount of revenue attributed to the initial license window. Once it is determined that a television series or other owned television programming can be licensed beyond the initial license window, revenue estimates for these additional windows or platforms, such as U.S. and international syndication, home entertainment, and other distribution platforms, are included in ultimate revenue. Revenue estimates for produced episodes include revenue expected to be earned within 10 years of delivery of the initial episode or, if still in production, 5 years from the delivery of the most recent episode, if later. We capitalize the costs of licensed content when the license period begins, the content is made available for use and the costs of the licenses are known. Licensed content is amortized as the associated programs are used, incorporating estimated viewing patterns. We recognize the costs of multiyear, live- event sports rights as the rights are utilized over the contract term based on estimated relative value. Estimated relative value is generally based on terms of the contract and the nature of and potential revenue generation of the deliverables within the contract. Capitalized film and television costs are subject to impairment testing when certain triggering events are identified. The substantial majority of our owned content is evaluated for impairment on an individual title basis. Licensed content that is not part of a film group is tested for impairment primarily on a channel, network or platform basis, with the exception of our broadcast networks and owned local broadcast television stations, which are tested on a daypart basis. Sports rights are accounted for as executory contracts and are not subject to impairment. When performing an impairment assessment, we estimate fair value primarily based on a discounted cash flow analysis that involves significant judgment, including market participant estimates of future cash flows, which are supported by internal forecasts. Impairments of capitalized film and television costs were not material in any of the periods presented. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 60 Table of Contents Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Interest Rate Risk Management We maintain a mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt and we are exposed to the market risk of adverse changes in interest rates. In order to manage the cost and volatility relating to the interest cost of our outstanding debt, we enter into various interest rate risk management derivative transactions in accordance with our policy. We monitor our exposure to the risk of adverse changes in interest rates through the use of techniques that include market valuation and sensitivity analyses. We do not engage in any speculative or leveraged derivative transactions. Our interest rate derivative financial instruments, which primarily include cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps, represent an integral part of our interest rate risk management program. The effect of our interest rate derivative financial instruments to our consolidated interest expense was a decrease of $66 million in 2022, a decrease of $2 million in 2021, and a decrease of $9 million in 2020. Interest rate derivative financial instruments may have a significant effect on consolidated interest expense in the future. The table below summarizes by contractual year of maturity the principal amount of our debt, notional amount of our interest rate instruments, effective rates, and fair values subject to interest rate risk maintained by us as of December 31, 2022. We estimate interest rates on variable rate debt and swaps using the relevant average implied forward rates through the year of maturity based on the yield curve in effect on December 31, 2022, plus the applicable borrowing margin.

The estimated fair value approximates the amount of payments to be made or proceeds to be received to settle the outstanding contracts, excluding accrued interest. Additionally, we have a $5.2 billion variable rate term loan presented separately as a collateralized obligation that will mature in March 2024. This term loan has an average interest rate of 5.7% estimated using December 31, 2022 implied forward rates through the year of maturity and its estimated fair value was $5.2 billion. During 2022, we settled the variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps related to this collateralized obligation. See Notes 1, 6 and 8 for additional information. 61 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Foreign Exchange Risk Management We have significant operations in a number of countries outside the United States through Sky and NBCUniversal, and certain of our operations are conducted in foreign currencies. The value of these currencies, primarily including the British pound, euro, Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, fluctuates relative to the U.S. dollar. These changes could adversely affect the U.S. dollar equivalent value of our non-U.S. dollar operations, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in a given period or in specific territories. As part of our overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, we enter into derivative financial instruments related to a significant portion of our foreign currency exposure for transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting entity. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts that change in value as currency exchange rates fluctuate to protect the functional currency equivalent value of non-functional currency denominated assets, liabilities, commitments, and forecasted non-functional currency revenue and expenses. In accordance with our policy, we hedge forecasted foreign currency transactions for periods generally not to exceed 30 months. As of December 31, 2022, we had foreign currency forwards designated as fair value hedges on $5.4 billion of our foreign currency intercompany loans receivable, and the aggregate estimated fair value of these foreign currency forwards was a net liability of $56 million. There were no foreign currency forwards designated as fair value hedges as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we also had foreign currency forward contracts that were not designated as fair value hedges with a total notional value of $4.9 billion and $8.0 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate estimated fair value of these foreign exchange contracts was a net asset of $73 million and $180 million, respectively. We use cross-currency swaps as cash flow hedges for certain debt obligations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuer. Cross-currency swaps effectively convert foreign currency denominated debt to debt denominated in the functional currency, which hedge currency exchange risks associated with foreign currency denominated cash flows such as interest and principal debt repayments. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges on $752 million and $1.6 billion of our foreign currency denominated debt, respectively, and the aggregate estimated fair value of these cross-currency swaps was a net liability of $274 million and $53 million, respectively. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk on the consolidation of our foreign operations. We have foreign currency denominated debt and cross- currency swaps designated as hedges of our net investments in certain of these subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the amount of foreign currency denominated debt designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries was $7.6 billion and $8.2 billion, respectively, and the notional amount of cross-currency swaps designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries was $2.5 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate estimated fair value of these cross-currency swaps was a net asset of $108 million and a net liability of $104 million, respectively. The amount of pre-tax gains (losses) related to net investment hedges recognized in the cumulative translation adjustments component of other comprehensive income (loss) were losses of $397 million in 2022, gains of $760 million in 2021 and losses of $686 million in 2020. We have analyzed our foreign currency exposure related to our foreign operations as of December 31, 2022, including our hedging contracts, to identify assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. For those assets and liabilities, we then evaluated the effect of a hypothetical 10% shift in currency exchange rates, inclusive of the effects of derivatives. The results of our analysis indicate that such a shift in exchange rates would not have a material impact on our 2022 net income attributable to Comcast Corporation. Counterparty Credit Risk Management We manage the credit risks associated with our derivative financial instruments through diversification and the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of counterparties. Although we may be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, we do not expect such losses, if any, to be significant. We have agreements with certain counterparties that include collateral provisions. These provisions require a party with an aggregate unrealized loss position in excess of certain thresholds to post cash collateral for the amount in excess of the threshold. The threshold levels in our collateral agreements are based on our and the counterparty’s credit ratings. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we were not required to post collateral under the terms of these agreements, nor did we hold any collateral under the terms of these agreements.

The consolidated financial statements presented in this report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management believes the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this report. The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included herein. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: • • • Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets. Provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that the system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included herein. Audit Committee Oversight The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised solely of independent directors, has oversight responsibility for our financial reporting process and the audits of the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee meets regularly with management and with our internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm (collectively, the “auditors”) to review matters related to the quality and integrity of our financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting (including compliance matters related to our Code of Conduct), and the nature, extent, and results of internal and external audits.

Murdock Executive Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 64 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Comcast Corporation Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Comcast Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Sky Goodwill - Refer to Note 10 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of the Sky reporting unit to its carrying value. 65 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Company used the discounted cash flow model to estimate fair value, which requires management to make significant judgments related to discount rates and forecasts of expected cash flows. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both. The goodwill balance was $58.5 billion as of December 31, 2022, of which $18.1 billion was allocated to the Sky reporting unit. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of July 1, 2022. As a result of an increased discount rate and reduced estimated future cash flows driven by macroeconomic conditions in the Sky territories, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $8.1 billion in the third quarter of 2022 as the fair value of the Sky reporting unit was determined to be less than its respective carrying value. We identified goodwill for Sky as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the Sky reporting unit. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the selection of the discount rate and forecasts of future expected cash flows for the Sky reporting unit. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the discount rate and forecasts of future expected cash flows used by management to estimate the fair value of Sky included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of Sky, such as controls related to management’s selection of the discount rate and forecasts of future expected cash flows. • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) discount rate, including testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate, testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management. • We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenue and cash flows by comparing prior year forecasts to actual results in the respective years. • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s current revenue and cash flow forecasts by comparing such forecasts to historical results and to forecasted information included in Company press releases as well as in analyst and industry reports of the Company and companies in its peer group. Film and Television Costs - Refer to Note 4 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company amortizes capitalized film and television production costs that are predominantly monetized on an individual basis using the individual film forecast computation method, which amortizes such costs using the ratio of current period revenue to the total remaining revenue forecasted to be realized, also known as “ultimate revenue.” The estimates of ultimate revenue have a significant impact on the rate at which capitalized costs are amortized. The determination of ultimate revenue for capitalized film and television costs requires the Company to make significant estimates of future revenue based on the distribution strategy and historical performance of similar content, as well as factors unique to the content itself. Given the judgments necessary to estimate ultimate revenue, auditing these estimates involved especially subjective judgment. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to forecasts of ultimate revenue for individual film or television productions included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over its amortization of film and television costs, including controls over forecasts of ultimate revenue. • We tested management’s selection of inputs and assumptions, including considering the historical performance of similar titles, expected distribution platforms, factors unique to the individual film or television production, and third-party projections. • We evaluated the historical accuracy of management’s forecast of future revenues by comparing actual results to management’s historical estimates of ultimate revenue. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania February 3, 2023 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1963.

We translate assets and liabilities of our foreign operations where the functional currency is the local currency into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date and translate revenue and expenses using average periodic exchange rates. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheet. Any foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in our consolidated statement of income in investment and other income (loss), net. For disclosures containing future amounts where the functional currency is the local currency, we translate the amounts into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Reclassifications Reclassifications have been made to our notes to consolidated financial statements for the prior year to conform to classifications used in 2022. Accounting Policies Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to select accounting policies, including in certain cases industry-specific policies, and make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following accounting policies are specific to the industries in which we operate: • • capitalization and amortization of film and television costs (see Note 4) costs for connecting customers to our cable systems (see Note 9) Information on other accounting policies and methods that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are included, where applicable, in their respective footnotes that follow. The collateralized obligation related to our investment in Hulu is discussed in Note 8 and our other long-term debt is discussed in Note 6. Below is a discussion of accounting policies and methods used in our consolidated financial statements that are not presented within other footnotes. Advertising Expenses Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Derivative Financial Instruments We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Our objective is to manage the financial and operational exposure arising from these risks by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the derivatives used to economically hedge them. Our derivative financial instruments are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet at fair value. We designate certain derivative instruments as fair value hedges of recognized assets or liabilities, such as non-functional currency receivables and payables, or as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions, including foreign currency denominated cash flows associated with non-functional currency debt and non-functional currency revenue and expenses. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments accounted for as fair value hedges are primarily recorded within earnings and changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged items affect earnings. We also designate certain derivative and non-derivative instruments as hedges of our net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. Transaction gains and losses resulting from currency movements on debt and changes in the fair value of cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges are recorded within the currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Refer to Note 6 for further information on certain derivative instruments related to debt and intercompany funding arrangements. The impact of our remaining derivative financial instruments was not material to our consolidated financial statements in any of the periods presented. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 72 Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Fair Value Measurements The accounting guidance related to fair value measurements establishes a hierarchy based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques. The levels of the hierarchy are described below. • • • Level 1: Values are determined using quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market. Level 2: Values are determined using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3: Values are determined using models that use significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. We use the three tier fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of certain financial instruments on a recurring basis, such as for investments (see Note 8); on a non-recurring basis, such as for acquisitions and impairment testing (see Note 10); and for disclosure purposes, such as for long-term debt (see Note 6). Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation and classification within the fair value hierarchy. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Government Assistance In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance related to the disclosure of certain types of government assistance. The guidance requires annual disclosure of the nature of the transactions, the related accounting policy, and the amounts and specific financial statement line items impacted by the transactions. We adopted the new guidance prospectively as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 4 for information related to production tax incentives. The impacts of other government assistance programs were not material. Note 2: Segment Information We are a global media and technology company with three primary businesses: Comcast Cable, NBCUniversal and Sky. We present our operations for (1) Comcast Cable in one reportable business segment, referred to as Cable Communications; (2) NBCUniversal in three reportable business segments: Media, Studios and Theme Parks; and (3) Sky in one reportable business segment. See Note 3 for a description of the various products and services within each reportable segment. Our other business interests consist primarily of the operations of Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and other business initiatives. Our financial data by reportable segment is presented in the tables below.

Our segments generally report transactions with one another as if they were stand-alone businesses in accordance with GAAP, and these transactions are eliminated in consolidation. When multiple segments enter into transactions to provide products and services to third parties, revenue is generally allocated to our segments based on relative value. The most significant transactions between our segments include content licensing revenue in Studios for licenses of owned content to Media and Sky; distribution revenue in Media for fees received from Cable Communications for the sale of cable network programming and under retransmission consent agreements; and advertising revenue in Media and Cable Communications. Revenue for licenses of content from Studios to Media and Sky is generally recognized at a point in time, consistent with the recognition of transactions with third parties, when the content is delivered and made available for use. The costs of these licenses in Media and Sky are recognized as the content is used over the license period. The difference in timing of recognition between segments results in an Adjusted EBITDA impact in eliminations, as the profits (losses) on these transactions are deferred in our consolidated results and recognized as the content is used over the license period. A summary of revenue for each of our segments resulting from transactions with other segments and eliminated in consolidation is presented in the table below.

The table below summarizes our consolidated revenue from customers in certain geographic locations. Year ended December 31 (in millions) United States United Kingdom Other Total revenue Cable Communications Segment $ $ 2022 96,441 13,380 11,606 121,427 $ $ 2021 90,926 13,999 11,460 116,385 $ $ 2020 80,327 11,986 11,251 103,564 Revenue is generated from the sale of our broadband, video, voice, wireless and other services to residential customers in the United States under the Xfinity brand, which we market individually and as bundled services at a discounted rate. We also provide these and other services to business customers and sell advertising. Residential We recognize revenue as the services are provided on a monthly basis. Subscription rates and related charges vary according to the services and features customers receive. Revenue from customers that purchase bundled services at a discounted rate is allocated between the separate services based on the respective stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the current prices at which we separately sell the services. Significant judgment is used to determine performance obligations that should be accounted for separately and the allocation of revenue when services are combined in a bundle. Customers are typically billed in advance and pay on a monthly basis. Installation fees are deferred and recognized as revenue over the period of benefit to the customer, which is less than a year. While a portion of our customers are subject to contracts for their services, which are typically 1 to 2 years in length, based on our evaluation of the terms of these contracts, we recognize revenue for these services on a basis that is consistent with our customers that are not subject to contracts. Sales commissions are generally expensed as incurred, as the related period of benefit is less than a year. Our services generally involve customer premise equipment, such as set-top boxes, cable modems and wireless gateways, which are generally considered part of our services for revenue recognition. We recognize revenue from the sale of wireless devices when they are transferred to the customer. Customers have the option under an equipment installment plan to finance wireless devices interest-free over 24 months. Equipment installment plan receivables under these arrangements are recorded net of imputed interest when the devices are transferred to the customer. We also have arrangements to sell certain DTC streaming services to our customers. We have concluded we are the sales agent in these arrangements and we record net commission revenue as earned, which is generally as customers are billed on a monthly basis, within broadband revenue. Under the terms of cable franchise agreements, we are generally required to pay the cable franchising authority an amount based on gross video revenue. We generally pass these and other similar fees through to our customers and classify these fees in the respective Cable Communications services revenue with the corresponding costs included in other operating and administrative expenses. Business Services Revenue is generated from subscribers to a variety of our products and services which are offered to businesses. Our service offerings for small business locations primarily include broadband services, as well as voice and video services, that are similar to those provided to our residential customers, and include certain other features specific to businesses. We also offer Ethernet network services, which connect multiple locations and other services to meet the needs of medium-sized customers and larger enterprises, and we provide cellular backhaul services to mobile network operators. We recognize revenue as the services are provided over the contract period. Substantially all of our customers are initially under contracts, with terms typically ranging from 2 years for small and medium-sized businesses to up to 5 years for larger enterprises. At any given time, the amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing under existing agreements is equal to approximately half of our annual business services revenue, of which the substantial majority will be recognized within 2 years. Customers with contracts may only discontinue service in accordance with the terms of their contracts. We receive payments based on a billing schedule established in our contracts, which is typically on a monthly basis. Installation revenue and sales commissions are generally deferred and recognized over the respective contract terms. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 76 Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Advertising Revenue is generated from the sale of advertising and technology, tools and solutions relating to advertising businesses. As part of distribution agreements with cable networks, we generally receive an allocation of scheduled advertising time that we sell to local, regional and national advertisers. In most cases, the available advertising units are sold by our sales force. We also represent the advertising sales efforts of other multichannel video providers in some markets. Since we are acting as the principal in these arrangements, we record the advertising that is sold in advertising revenue and the fees paid to multichannel video providers in other operating and administrative expenses. In some cases, we work with representation firms as an extension of our sales force to sell a portion of the advertising units allocated to us and record the revenue net of agency commissions. In addition, we generate revenue from the sale of advertising on our digital platforms. We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contract exists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typically when the number of advertising units is specifically identified and scheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or delivered within one year once all terms and conditions are agreed upon. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized in the period in which advertisements are aired or delivered. Payment terms vary by contract, although terms generally require payment within 30 to 60 days from when advertisements are aired or delivered. In addition, we also provide technology, tools, data-driven services and marketplace solutions to customers in the media industry to facilitate advertisers more effectively engaging with their target audiences and recognize revenue when these services are provided. NBCUniversal Segments Advertising Media generates revenue from the sale of advertising on our television networks, Peacock and other digital properties. We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contract exists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typically when the number of advertising units is specifically identified and scheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or delivered within one year once all terms and conditions are agreed upon. Revenue is recognized, net of agency commissions, in the period in which advertisements are aired or delivered and payment occurs thereafter, with payment generally required within 30 days. In some instances, we guarantee audience ratings for the advertisements. To the extent there is a shortfall in contracts where the ratings were guaranteed, a portion of the revenue is deferred until the shortfall is settled, typically by providing additional advertising units generally within one year of the original airing. Distribution Media generates revenue from the distribution of cable network programming in the United States and internationally to multichannel video providers, including both traditional providers of linear programming and virtual providers who provide streaming services for linear programming. Media also generates revenue from the fees received from multichannel video providers under NBC and Telemundo retransmission consent agreements and associated fees from NBC-affiliated and Telemundo-affiliated local broadcast television stations. Additionally, Media generates revenue from monthly subscription fees received from Peacock subscribers. Monthly fees received under distribution agreements with multichannel video providers are generally under multiyear agreements and based on the number of subscribers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include payment within 60 days. These arrangements are accounted for as licenses of functional intellectual property and revenue is recognized as programming is provided. Content Licensing Studios generates revenue from the licensing of our owned film and television content in the United States and internationally to cable, broadcast and premium networks and DTC streaming service providers, as well as through video on demand and pay-per-view services. Media also generates revenue from licensing of our owned television content, which is reported in other revenue. Our agreements generally include fixed pricing and span multiple years. For example, following a film’s theatrical release, Studios may license the exhibition rights of a film to different customers over multiple successive distribution windows. 77 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Comcast Corporation We recognize revenue when the content is delivered and available for use by the licensee. When the term of an existing agreement is renewed or extended, we recognize revenue when the licensed content becomes available under the renewal or extension. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although payments are generally collected over the license term. The amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing under existing third- party agreements at any given time equals approximately one-half year to 1 year of annual Studios content licensing revenue, which is the segment with the largest portion of this future revenue. The majority of this revenue will be recognized within 2 years. This amount may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing of the releases and the availability of content under existing agreements and may not represent the total revenue expected to be recognized as it does not include revenue from future agreements or from variable pricing or optional purchases under existing agreements. For our agreements that include variable pricing, such as pricing based on the number of subscribers to a DTC streaming service sold by our customers, we generally recognize revenue as our customers sell to their subscribers. Theatrical Studios generates revenue from the worldwide distribution of our produced and acquired films for exhibition in movie theaters. Our arrangements with exhibitors generally entitle us to a percentage of ticket sales. We recognize revenue as the films are viewed and exhibited in theaters and payment generally occurs within 30 days after exhibition. Home Entertainment Studios generates revenue from the sale of owned and acquired content on DVDs/Blu-ray discs and through digital distribution services. Media also generates revenue from the sale of owned content on DVDs/Blu-ray discs and through digital distribution services, which is reported in other revenue. We generally recognize revenue from DVD/Blu-ray disc sales, net of estimated returns and customer incentives, on the date that DVDs/Blu-ray discs are delivered to and made available for sale by retailers. Payment terms generally include payment within 60 to 90 days from delivery to the retailer. Theme Parks Theme Parks generates revenue primarily from guest spending at our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood, California; Osaka, Japan; and Beijing, China. Guest spending includes ticket sales and in-park spending on food, beverages and merchandise. We also generate revenue from our consumer products business. Additionally, we license the right to use the Universal Studios brand name and other intellectual property and provide other services to third parties, including the party that owns and operates the Universal Studios Singapore theme park on Sentosa Island, Singapore. We recognize revenue from ticket sales when the tickets are used, generally within a year from the date of purchase. For annual passes, we generally recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the period the pass is available to be used. We recognize revenue from in-park spending and consumer products at the point of sale. Sky Segment Direct-to-Consumer Revenue is generated from subscribers to our video services from both residential and business customers, primarily in the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany. We also provide broadband, voice and wireless phone services in select countries. Our services generally may be purchased individually or in bundles. Generally, all of our residential customers are initially under contracts, with terms typically ranging from rolling monthly to 18 months, depending on the product and territory, and may only discontinue service in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Subscription rates and related charges vary according to the services and features customers receive and the types of equipment they use, and customers are typically billed in advance on a monthly basis. We recognize revenue from video, broadband, voice and wireless services as the services are provided over the contract period. At any given time, the amount of future revenue to be earned related to existing agreements is equal to less than half of our annual direct-to-consumer revenue, which generally will be recognized within 18 months. Sales commissions are generally deferred and recognized over the respective contract terms. Our services generally involve customer premise equipment, such as set-top boxes and wireless hubs, which are generally considered part of our services for revenue recognition. We recognize revenue from the sale of wireless devices when they are transferred to the customer. Customers have the option under an equipment installment plan to finance wireless devices interest-free over periods ranging from 24 to 48 months. Equipment installment plan receivables under these arrangements are recorded net of imputed interest when the devices are transferred to the customer. We also have arrangements to sell certain DTC streaming services to our customers. We have concluded we are the sales agent in these arrangements and we record net commission revenue as earned, which is generally as customers are billed on a monthly basis. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 78 Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Content Revenue is generated from the distribution of our owned channels on third-party platforms and the licensing of owned and licensed content to third-party video providers. See the NBCUniversal segment discussion of distribution and content licensing revenue above for accounting policies for these types of arrangements. Advertising Revenue is generated from advertising across our platforms, including our owned television channels, and where we represent the sales efforts of third- party channels. We also generate revenue from various technology, tools and solutions relating to our advertising business. Revenue is recognized when the advertisement is aired or delivered. Since we are acting as the principal in the arrangements where we represent the sales efforts of third parties, we record the advertising that is sold in advertising revenue and the fees paid to the third-party channels in other operating and administrative expenses. Revenue earned from providing technology, tools and solutions relating to our advertising business is recognized when services are provided.

Video Distribution Programming Expenses We incur programming expenses related to the license of the rights to distribute or integrate the third-party programmed channels, platforms and related content included in video services we sell to end consumers. Programming is generally acquired under multiyear distribution agreements, with fees typically based on the number of customers that receive the programming and the extent of distribution. Programming distribution arrangements are accounted for as executory contracts with expenses generally recognized based on the rates in the agreements and the arrangements are not subject to impairment. Film and Television Content We incur costs related to the production of owned content and the license of the rights to use content owned by third parties and sports rights on our owned networks and platforms, which are described as owned and licensed content, respectively. We have determined that the predominant monetization strategy for the substantial majority of our content is on an individual basis. Capitalized Film and Television Costs December 31 (in millions) Owned: In production and in development Completed, not released Released, less amortization Licensed, including sports advances Film and television costs 2022 2021 3,210 130 4,634 7,974 4,586 12,560 $ $ 2,732 536 3,726 6,994 5,811 12,806 $ $ Production tax incentives reduced capitalized owned film and television costs by $400 million as of December 31, 2022, and resulted in a reduction of programming and production costs of $733 million in 2022. We have receivables related to our production tax incentives of $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2022, a substantial majority of which are reflected in other noncurrent assets in our consolidated balance sheet. The table below summarizes estimated future amortization expense for the capitalized film and television costs recorded in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.

Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 80 Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Capitalization and Recognition of Film and Television Content We capitalize costs for owned film and television content, including direct costs, production overhead, print costs, development costs and interest, as well as acquired libraries. Amortization for owned content predominantly monetized on an individual basis and accrued costs associated with participations and residuals payments are recorded using the individual film forecast computation method, which recognizes the costs in the same ratio as the associated ultimate revenue. Estimates of ultimate revenue and total costs are based on anticipated release patterns and distribution strategies, public acceptance and historical results for similar productions. Amortization for content predominantly monetized with other owned or licensed content is recorded based on estimated usage. In determining the method of amortization and estimated life of an acquired film or television library, we generally use the method and the life that most closely follow the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated life of the asset. We do not capitalize costs related to the distribution of a film in movie theaters or the licensing or sale of a film or television production, which primarily include costs associated with marketing and distribution. We capitalize the costs of licensed content when the license period begins, the content is made available for use and the costs of the licenses are known. Licensed content is amortized as the associated programs are used, incorporating estimated viewing patterns. Owned and licensed content are presented as noncurrent assets in film and television costs. We present amortization of owned and licensed content and accrued costs associated with participations and residuals payments in programming and production costs. Film and television productions may be eligible for tax incentives from certain state, local or foreign jurisdictions. These incentives generally provide for transferable or redeemable tax credits upon meeting established levels of qualified production spending within a participating jurisdiction. We record a receivable for a production tax incentive program when there is a reasonable assurance of collection with a corresponding reduction of capitalized film and television costs, and the related amortization. We may enter into cofinancing arrangements with third parties to jointly finance or distribute certain of our film productions. Cofinancing arrangements can take various forms, but in most cases involve the grant of an economic interest in a film to an investor who owns an undivided copyright interest in the film. The number of investors and the terms of these arrangements can vary, although investors generally assume the full risks and rewards for the portion of the film acquired in these arrangements. We account for the proceeds received from the investor under these arrangements as a reduction of our capitalized film costs and the investor’s interest in the profit or loss of the film is recorded as either a charge or a benefit, respectively, in programming and production costs. The investor’s interest in the profit or loss of a film is recorded each period using the individual film forecast computation method. When an event or a change in circumstance occurs that was known or knowable as of the balance sheet date and that indicates the fair value of either owned or licensed content is less than the unamortized costs in the balance sheet, we determine the fair value and record an impairment charge to the extent the unamortized costs exceed the fair value. Owned content is assessed either individually or in identified film groups, for content predominantly monetized on an individual basis or with other content, respectively. The substantial majority of our owned content is evaluated for impairment on an individual title basis. Licensed content that is not part of a film group is generally assessed in packages, channels or dayparts. A daypart is an aggregation of programs broadcast during a particular time of day or programs of a similar type. Licensed content is tested for impairment primarily on a channel, network or platform basis, with the exception of our broadcast networks and owned local broadcast television stations, which are tested on a daypart basis. Estimated fair values of owned and licensed content are generally based on Level 3 inputs including analysis of market participant estimates of future cash flows. We record charges related to impairments or content that is substantively abandoned to programming and production costs. Sports Rights We recognize the costs of multiyear, live-event sports rights as the rights are utilized over the contract term based on estimated relative value. Estimated relative value is generally based on the terms of the contract and the nature of and potential revenue generation of the deliverables within the contract. Sports rights are accounted for as executory contracts and are not subject to impairment. When cash payments, including advanced payments, exceed the relative value of the sports rights delivered, we recognize an asset in licensed content. Production costs incurred in advance of airing are also presented with licensed content. 81 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Note 5: Income Taxes Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes Year ended December 31 (in millions) Domestic Foreign Components of Income Tax Expense Year ended December 31 (in millions) Current Expense (Benefit): Federal State Foreign Deferred Expense (Benefit): Federal State Foreign Income tax expense (benefit) $ $ $ $ 2022 19,329 (10,045) 9,284 2022 4,025 961 207 5,193 (281) (483) (70) (834) 4,359 $ $ $ $ 2021 21,243 (2,150) 19,093 2021 2,355 669 343 3,367 1,504 255 133 1,892 5,259 $ $ $ $ Our income tax expense (benefit) differs from the federal statutory amount because of the effect of the items detailed in the table below.

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities when there are temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of our assets and liabilities and for the expected benefits of using net operating loss carryforwards. When a change in the tax rate or tax law has an impact on deferred taxes, we apply the change based on the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We record the change in our consolidated financial statements in the period of enactment. The determination of the income tax consequences of a business combination includes identifying the tax basis of assets and liabilities acquired and any contingencies associated with uncertain tax positions assumed or resulting from the business combination. Deferred tax assets and liabilities related to temporary differences of an acquired entity are recorded as of the date of the business combination and are based on our estimate of the ultimate tax basis that will be accepted by the various tax authorities. We record liabilities for contingencies associated with prior tax returns filed by the acquired entity based on criteria set forth in the appropriate accounting guidance. We adjust the deferred tax accounts and the liabilities periodically to reflect any revised estimated tax basis and any estimated settlements with the various tax authorities. The effects of these adjustments are recorded to income tax expense. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 82 Table of Contents Comcast Corporation From time to time, we engage in transactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty. In these cases, we evaluate our tax position using the recognition threshold and the measurement attribute in accordance with the accounting guidance related to uncertain tax positions. Examples of these transactions include business acquisitions and dispositions, including consideration paid or received in connection with these transactions, certain financing transactions, and the allocation of income among state and local tax jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in assessing and estimating the tax consequences of these transactions. We determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained on examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. We classify interest and penalties, if any, associated with our uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense (benefit). Components of Net Deferred Tax Liability December 31 (in millions) Deferred Tax Assets: Net operating loss and other loss carryforwards Nondeductible accruals and other Less: Valuation allowance Deferred Tax Liabilities: Differences between book and tax basis of property and equipment and intangible assets Differences between book and tax basis of investments Differences between book and tax basis of long-term debt Differences between book and tax basis of foreign subsidiaries and undistributed foreign earnings Net deferred tax liability The following table presents changes in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: (in millions) Beginning balance Additions charged to income tax expense and other accounts Deductions from reserves Ending balance $ $ 2022 2,907 433 45 3,295 2022 3,325 3,210 3,295 3,240 29,688 265 1,741 55 31,749 28,509 2021 2,312 635 40 2,907 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 2021 3,194 3,246 2,907 3,533 30,584 526 1,788 394 33,292 29,759 2020 1,906 430 24 2,312 Changes in our net deferred tax liability in 2022 that were not recorded as deferred income tax expense (benefit) are primarily related to a decrease of $505 million associated with items included in other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2022, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $178 million, and various state net operating loss carryforwards, the majority of which expire in periods through 2042. As of December 31, 2022, we also had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $10.4 billion related to our foreign operations, primarily at Sky and NBCUniversal, the majority of which can be carried forward indefinitely. The determination of the realization of the state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards is dependent on our subsidiaries’ taxable income or loss, apportionment percentages, redetermination from taxing authorities, and state and foreign laws that can change from year to year and impact the amount of such carryforwards. We recognize a valuation allowance if we determine it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our valuation allowance was primarily related to foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards. 83 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Uncertain Tax Positions Reconciliation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits (in millions) Gross unrecognized tax benefits, January 1 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year Additions based on tax positions related to prior years Reductions for tax positions of prior years Reductions due to expiration of statutes of limitations Settlements with tax authorities and other Gross unrecognized tax benefits, December 31 $ $ 2022 2,042 380 56 (145) (148) (24) 2,161 $ $ 2021 1,879 352 111 (181) (107) (12) 2,042 $ $ 2020 1,422 436 152 (31) (76) (24) 1,879 Our gross unrecognized tax benefits include both amounts related to positions for which we have recorded liabilities for potential payment obligations and those for which tax has been assessed and paid. The amounts exclude the federal benefits on state tax positions that were recorded to deferred income taxes. If we were to recognize our gross unrecognized tax benefits in the future, $1.7 billion would impact our effective tax rate and the remaining amount would increase our deferred income tax liability. The amount and timing of the recognition of any such tax benefit is dependent on the completion of examinations of our tax filings by the various tax authorities and the expiration of statutes of limitations. It is reasonably possible that certain tax contests could be resolved within the next 12 months that may result in a decrease in our effective tax rate. Accrued interest and penalties associated with our liability for uncertain tax positions were not material in any period presented. The IRS has completed its examination of our income tax returns for all years through 2016. Various states are examining our state tax returns and the tax years of those tax returns currently under examination vary by state, with most of the periods relating to tax years 2011 and forward. Various foreign jurisdictions are examining our tax returns and the tax years of those tax returns currently under examination vary by country, with most of the periods relating to tax years 2010 and forward.

Our senior notes are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations and are subject to parent and/or subsidiary guarantees. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our debt had an estimated fair value of $86.9 billion and $109.3 billion, respectively. The estimated fair value of our publicly traded debt was primarily based on Level 1 inputs that use quoted market value for the debt. The estimated fair value of debt for which there are no quoted market prices was based on Level 2 inputs that use interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

As of December 31, 2022, we had foreign currency forwards designated as fair value hedges on $5.4 billion of our foreign currency intercompany loans receivable, and the aggregate estimated fair value of these foreign currency forwards was a net liability of $56 million. There were no foreign currency forwards designated as fair value hedges as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges on $752 million and $1.6 billion of our foreign currency denominated debt, respectively, and the aggregate estimated fair value of these cross-currency swaps was a net liability of $274 million and $53 million, respectively. The other income (loss), net component of investment and other income (loss), net included net pre-tax gains (losses) from these derivative contracts of $0.6 billion, $0.3 billion, and $(0.1) billion for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts offset foreign currency remeasurement (losses) gains from foreign currency denominated debt obligations and intercompany funding arrangements denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the transacting entity of $(0.6) billion, $(0.3) billion and $0.2 billion for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk on the consolidation of our foreign operations. We have foreign currency denominated debt and cross- currency swaps designated as hedges of our net investments in certain of these subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the amount of foreign currency denominated debt designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries was $7.6 billion and $8.2 billion, respectively, and the notional amount of cross-currency swaps designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries was $2.5 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate estimated fair value of these cross-currency swaps was a net asset of $108 million and a net liability of $104 million, respectively. The amount of pre-tax gains (losses) related to net investment hedges recognized in the cumulative translation adjustments component of other comprehensive income (loss) were losses of $397 million in 2022, gains of $760 million in 2021 and losses of $686 million in 2020. We also use derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps, to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on $2.5 billion of our fixed rate debt obligations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate estimated fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was a net liability of $282 million and $24 million, respectively. Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program In March 2021, we entered into a new $11 billion revolving credit facility, as it may be amended from time to time, due March 30, 2026 with a syndicate of banks that may be used for general corporate purposes. We may increase the commitments under the revolving credit facility up to a total of $14 billion, as well as extend the expiration date to no later than March 30, 2028, subject to approval of the lenders. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility consists of a benchmark rate plus a borrowing margin that is determined based on Comcast’s credit rating. As of December 31, 2022, the borrowing margin for borrowings based on an Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate was 1.00%. Our revolving credit facility requires that we maintain a certain financial ratio based on debt and EBITDA, as defined in the revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with this financial covenant and other covenants related to our debt for all periods presented. The new revolving credit facility replaced an aggregate $9.2 billion of existing revolving credit facilities due May 26, 2022, which were terminated. Our commercial paper program is supported by our revolving credit facility and provides a lower cost source of borrowing to fund short-term working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2022, $665 million was outstanding under our commercial paper program. There were no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2022, amounts available under our revolving credit facility, net of amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program and outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, totaled $10.4 billion. 85 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees As of December 31, 2022, we and certain of our subsidiaries had undrawn irrevocable standby letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $237 million to cover potential fundings under various agreements. Note 7: Significant Transactions Acquisitions In October 2021, we acquired Masergy, a provider of software-defined networking and cloud platforms for global enterprises, for total cash consideration of $1.2 billion. The acquisition accelerates our growth in serving large and mid-sized companies, particularly U.S.-based organizations with multi-site global enterprises. Masergy’s results of operations are included in our consolidated results of operations since the acquisition date and are reported in our Cable Communications segment. We have recorded Masergy’s assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values with $853 million recorded to goodwill and the remainder primarily attributed to software and customer relationship intangible assets. The acquisition was not material to our consolidated results of operations.

Equity method investments are recorded at cost and are adjusted to recognize (1) our share, based on percentage ownership or other contractual basis, of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of investment, (2) amortization of the recorded investment that exceeds our share of the book value of the investee’s net assets, (3) additional contributions made and dividends or other distributions received, and (4) impairments resulting from other-than-temporary declines in fair value. For some investments, we record our share of the investee’s net income or loss one quarter in arrears due to the timing of our receipt of such information. Gains or losses on the sale of equity method investments are recorded to other income (loss), net. If an equity method investee were to issue additional securities that would change our proportionate share of the entity, we would recognize the change, if any, as a gain or loss to other income (loss), net. Cash distributions received from equity method investments are considered returns on investment and presented within operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows to the extent of cumulative equity in net income of the investee. Additional distributions are presented as investing activities. Distributions presented within operating activities totaled $162 million, $1.1 billion and $66 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 86 Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Atairos On January 1, 2016, we established Atairos Group, Inc., a strategic company focused on investing in and operating companies in a range of industries and business sectors, both domestically and internationally. Atairos is controlled by management companies led by our former CFO through interests that carry all of the voting rights. We are the only third-party investor in Atairos. In November 2020, we amended our agreement with Atairos, which primarily extended the investment term of the agreement from up to 12 years to up to 16.5 years, extended the period in which capital can be recycled to the full investment period and decreased our commitment to fund Atairos from up to $5 billion to up to $4.5 billion in the aggregate at any one time, subject to certain offsets, with the maximum amount of annual capital calls reduced to $400 million, plus certain amounts previously distributed. In addition, we have separately committed to fund Atairos $45 million annually for a management fee, subject to certain adjustments. The management company investors have committed to fund from $50 million to $100 million, with at least $40 million to be funded by our former CFO, subject to his continued role with Atairos. Our economic interests do not carry voting rights and obligate us to absorb approximately 99% of any losses and they provide us the right to receive approximately 86% of any residual returns in Atairos, in either case on a cumulative basis. We have concluded that Atairos is a VIE, that we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Atairos as we have no voting rights and only certain consent rights, and that we are not a related party with our former CFO or the management companies. We therefore do not consolidate Atairos and account for our investment as an equity method investment. Certain distributions retained by Atairos on our behalf are accounted for as advances and classified within other investments. Atairos may pledge our remaining unfunded capital commitment as security to lenders in connection with certain financing arrangements. This has no effect on our funding commitments. There are no other liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other financial commitments between Comcast and Atairos, and therefore our maximum risk of financial loss is our investment balance and our remaining unfunded capital commitment of $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2022. Atairos follows investment company accounting and records its investments at their fair values each reporting period with the net gains or losses reflected in its statement of operations. We recognize our share of these gains and losses in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net. In 2022, 2021 and 2020, we made cash capital contributions totaling $52 million, $47 million and $383 million, respectively, to Atairos. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our investment, inclusive of advances classified within other investments, was $4.3 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively. Hulu and Collateralized Obligation In May 2019, we entered into a series of agreements (the “Hulu Transaction”) with The Walt Disney Company and certain of its subsidiaries, whereby we relinquished our board seats and substantially all voting rights associated with our investment in Hulu, and Disney assumed full operational control. We also acquired additional ownership interest in Hulu previously held by AT&T, increasing our interest to approximately 33%. Following the Hulu Transaction, future capital calls are limited to $1.5 billion in the aggregate each year, with any excess funding requirements funded with member loans. We have the right, but not the obligation, to fund our proportionate share of these capital calls, and if we elect not to fund our share of future equity capital calls, our ownership interest will be diluted, subject to an ownership floor of 21%. The Hulu Transaction agreements include put and call provisions regarding our ownership interest in Hulu, pursuant to which, as early as January 2024, we can require Disney to buy, and Disney can require us to sell our interest, in either case, for fair value at that future time subject to a minimum equity value of $27.5 billion for 100% of the equity of Hulu. The minimum total equity value and ownership floor guarantee minimum proceeds of approximately $5.8 billion upon exercise of the put or call. In August 2019, we entered into a financing arrangement with a syndicate of banks whereby we received proceeds of $5.2 billion under a term loan facility due March 2024. The principal amount of the term loan is secured by the proceeds guaranteed by Disney under the put/call provisions related to our investment in Hulu. The proceeds from the put/call provisions are available only for the repayment of the term loan and are not available to us unless and until the bank lenders are fully paid under the term loan provisions. The bank lenders have no rights to proceeds from the put/call provisions in excess of amounts owed under the term loan. As a result of this transaction, we now present our investment in Hulu and the term loan separately in our consolidated balance sheet in the captions “investment securing collateralized obligation” and “collateralized obligation”, respectively. The recorded value of our investment reflects our historical cost in applying the equity method, and as a result, is less than its fair value. As of December 31, 2022, our collateralized obligation had both a carrying value and estimated fair value of $5.2 billion. The estimated fair value was based on Level 2 inputs that use interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. 87 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Marketable Equity Securities We classify investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as marketable equity securities. The changes in fair value of our marketable equity securities between measurement dates are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. The fair values of our marketable equity securities are based on Level 1 inputs that use quoted market prices. Nonmarketable Equity Securities We classify investments without readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as nonmarketable equity securities. The accounting guidance requires nonmarketable equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, the guidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record the investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. We apply the measurement alternative, adjusting the investments for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer, to a majority of our nonmarketable equity securities. When an observable event occurs, we estimate the fair values of our nonmarketable equity securities primarily based on Level 2 inputs that are derived from observable price changes of similar securities adjusted for insignificant differences in rights and obligations. The changes in value are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. Other Investments Other investments also includes investments in certain short-term instruments with maturities over three months when purchased, such as commercial paper, certificates of deposit and U.S government obligations, which are generally accounted for at amortized cost. These short-term instruments totaled $304 million as of December 31, 2022 and there were no such investments as of December 31, 2021. The carrying amounts of these investments approximate their fair values, which are primarily based on Level 2 inputs that use interest rates for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. AirTouch In April 2020, Verizon Americas, Inc., formerly known as AirTouch Communications, Inc. (“AirTouch”), redeemed the two series of preferred stock we previously held and we received cash payments totaling $1.7 billion. Subsequently, we redeemed and repurchased the related three series of preferred shares issued by one of our consolidated subsidiaries and made cash payments totaling $1.8 billion. Impairment Testing of Investments We review our investment portfolio, other than our marketable equity securities, each reporting period to determine whether there are identified events or circumstances that would indicate there is a decline in the fair value. For our nonpublic investments, if there are no identified events or circumstances that would have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment, then the fair value is not estimated. For our equity method investments, if an investment is deemed to have experienced an other-than-temporary decline below its cost basis, we reduce the carrying amount of the investment to its quoted or estimated fair value, as applicable, and establish a new cost basis for the investment. For our nonmarketable equity securities, we record the impairment to realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. For our equity method investments, we record the impairment to other income (loss), net. Consolidated Variable Interest Entity Universal Beijing Resort In 2018, we entered into an agreement with a consortium of Chinese state-owned companies to build and operate a Universal theme park and resort in Beijing, China (“Universal Beijing Resort”), which opened in September 2021. We own a 30% interest in Universal Beijing Resort and the construction was funded through a combination of debt financing and equity contributions from the partners in accordance with their equity interests. The debt financing, which is being provided by a syndicate of Chinese financial institutions, contains certain covenants and a maximum borrowing limit of ¥29.7 billion RMB (approximately $4.3 billion). The debt financing is secured by the assets of Universal Beijing Resort and the equity interests of the investors. As of December 31, 2022, Universal Beijing Resort had $3.5 billion of debt outstanding, including $3.1 billion principal amount of a term loan outstanding under the debt financing agreement. Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K 88 Table of Contents Comcast Corporation We have concluded that Universal Beijing Resort is a VIE based on its governance structure, and we consolidate it because we have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact its economic performance. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other financial commitments between us and Universal Beijing Resort, and therefore our maximum risk of financial loss is our 30% interest. Universal Beijing Resort’s results of operations are reported in our Theme Parks segment. Our consolidated statement of cash flows includes the costs of construction and related borrowings in the “construction of Universal Beijing Resort” and “proceeds from borrowings” captions, respectively, and equity contributions from the noncontrolling interests are included in other financing activities. As of December 31, 2022, our consolidated balance sheet included assets and liabilities of Universal Beijing Resort totaling $8.2 billion and $7.3 billion, respectively. The assets and liabilities of Universal Beijing Resort primarily consist of property and equipment, operating lease assets and liabilities, and debt.

We capitalize improvements that extend asset lives and expense repairs and maintenance costs as incurred. We record depreciation using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life. For assets that are sold or retired, we remove the applicable cost and accumulated depreciation and, unless the gain or loss on disposition is presented separately, we recognize it as a component of depreciation expense. Capital expenditures for the construction of Universal Beijing Resort are presented separately in our consolidated statement of cash flows. Cable Communications capitalizes the costs associated with the construction of and improvements to our cable transmission and distribution facilities, including scalable infrastructure and line extensions; costs associated with acquiring and deploying new customer premise equipment; and costs associated with installation of our services, including the customer’s connection to our network, in accordance with the accounting guidance related to cable television companies. Costs capitalized include all direct costs for labor and materials, as well as various indirect costs. Costs incurred in connection with subsequent disconnects, and reconnects of previously deployed customer premise equipment, are expensed as they are incurred. We evaluate the recoverability of our property and equipment whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The evaluation is based on the cash flows generated by the underlying asset groups, including estimated future operating results, trends or other determinants of fair value. If the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset group, we would recognize an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount of the asset group exceeded its estimated fair value. Unless presented separately, the impairment charge is included as a component of depreciation expense. 89 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Comcast Corporation Certain of our cable franchise agreements and lease agreements contain provisions requiring us to restore facilities or remove property in the event that the franchise or lease agreement is not renewed. We expect to continually renew our cable franchise agreements and therefore cannot reasonably estimate liabilities associated with such agreements. A remote possibility exists that franchise agreements could be terminated unexpectedly, which could result in us incurring significant expense in complying with restoration or removal provisions. We do not have any material liabilities related to asset retirement obligations recorded in our consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from anticipated synergies and intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including increased footprint, assembled workforce, noncontractual relationships and other agreements. We assess the recoverability of our goodwill annually, or more frequently whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. To determine our reporting units, we evaluate the components one level below the segment level and we aggregate the components if they have similar economic characteristics. We evaluate the determination of our reporting units used to test for impairment periodically or whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances occur. The assessment of recoverability may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. A quantitative assessment is performed if the qualitative assessment results in a more-likely-than-not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. The quantitative assessment considers whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to the extent the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Unless presented separately, the impairment charge is included as a component of amortization expense. We assess the recoverability of our goodwill annually as of July 1, and as a result, in the third quarter of 2022, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $8.1 billion in our Sky reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. When performing this analysis, we also considered multiples of earnings from comparable public companies and recent market transactions. The decline in fair value primarily resulted from an increased discount rate and reduced estimated future cash flows as a result of macroeconomic conditions in the Sky territories. The impairment is presented in goodwill and long-lived asset impairments in the consolidated statement of income.

Our cable franchise rights represent the values we attributed to agreements with state and local authorities that allow access to homes and businesses in cable service areas acquired in business combinations. We do not amortize our cable franchise rights because we have determined that they meet the definition of indefinite-lived intangible assets since there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the period over which these rights will contribute to our cash flows. We reassess this determination periodically or whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances occur. The purchase of spectrum rights is presented separately in our consolidated statement of cash flows. We assess the recoverability of our cable franchise rights and other indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, or more frequently whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Our three Cable Communications divisions represent the unit of account we use to test for impairment of our cable franchise rights. We evaluate the unit of account used to test for impairment of our cable franchise rights and other indefinite-lived intangible assets periodically or whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances occur to ensure impairment testing is performed at an appropriate level. The assessment of recoverability may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. A quantitative assessment is performed if the qualitative assessment results in a more-likely-than-not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. When performing a quantitative assessment, we estimate the fair value of our cable franchise rights and other indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily based on a discounted cash flow analysis that involves significant judgment. When analyzing the fair values indicated under the discounted cash flow models, we also consider multiples of Adjusted EBITDA generated by the underlying assets, current market transactions and profitability information. If the fair value of our cable franchise rights or other indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than the carrying amount, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the assets. Unless presented separately, the impairment charge is included as a component of amortization expense.

Our finite-lived intangible assets are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life or the term of the associated agreement. 91 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Comcast Corporation We capitalize direct development costs associated with internal-use software, including external direct costs of material and services and payroll costs for employees devoting time to these software projects. We also capitalize costs associated with arrangements that constitute the purchase of, or convey a license to, software licenses. We generally amortize them on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed five years. We expense maintenance and training costs, as well as costs incurred during the preliminary stage of a project, as they are incurred. We capitalize initial operating system software costs and amortize them over the life of the associated hardware. We evaluate the recoverability of our finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The evaluation is based on the cash flows generated by the underlying asset groups, including estimated future operating results, trends or other determinants of fair value. If the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset group, we would recognize an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount of the asset group exceeded its estimated fair value. Unless presented separately, the impairment charge is included as a component of amortization expense. In connection with our annual goodwill impairment assessment, in the third quarter of 2022 we also recorded impairments of intangible assets related to our Sky segment, which primarily related to customer relationship assets. These impairments totaled $485 million and are presented in goodwill and long- lived asset impairments in the consolidated statement of income.

The amount of compensation deferred by each participant is based on participant elections. Participant accounts are credited with income primarily based on a fixed annual rate. Participants are eligible to receive distributions from their account based on elected deferral periods that are consistent with the plans and applicable tax law. We have purchased life insurance policies to recover a portion of the future payments related to our deferred compensation plans. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the cash surrender value of these policies, which is recorded to other noncurrent assets, net, was $449 million and $549 million, respectively. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans We sponsor several 401(k) defined contribution retirement plans that allow eligible employees to contribute a portion of their compensation through payroll deductions in accordance with specified plan guidelines. We make contributions to the plans that include matching a percentage of the employees’ contributions up to certain limits. In 2022, 2021 and 2020, expenses related to these plans totaled $632 million, $595 million and $599 million, respectively. We participate in various multiemployer benefit plans, including pension and postretirement benefit plans, that cover some of our employees and temporary employees who are represented by labor unions. We also participate in other multiemployer benefit plans that provide health and welfare and retirement savings benefits to active and retired participants. If we cease to be obligated to make contributions or were to otherwise withdraw from participation in any of these plans, applicable law would require us to fund our allocable share of the unfunded vested benefits, which is known as a withdrawal liability. In addition, actions taken by other participating employers may lead to adverse changes in the financial condition of one of these plans, which could result in an increase in our withdrawal liability. Total contributions we made to multiemployer benefit plans and any potential withdrawal liabilities were not material in any of the periods presented.

Each share of our Class B common stock is entitled to 15 votes. The number of votes held by each share of our Class A common stock depends on the number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding at any given time. The 33 /3% aggregate voting power of our Class B common stock cannot be diluted by additional issuances of any other class of common stock. Our Class B common stock is convertible, share for share, into Class A common stock, subject to certain restrictions. 1 2 Shares of Common Stock Outstanding (in millions) Balance, December 31, 2019 Stock compensation plans Employee stock purchase plans Balance, December 31, 2020 Stock compensation plans Repurchases and retirements of common stock Employee stock purchase plans Balance, December 31, 2021 Stock compensation plans Repurchases and retirements of common stock Employee stock purchase plans Balance, December 31, 2022 Class A 4,544 20 7 4,571 21 (73) 5 4,524 12 (332) 7 4,211 Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding Year ended December 31 (in millions) Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – basic Effect of dilutive securities Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – diluted Antidilutive securities 2022 4,406 24 4,430 176 2021 4,584 70 4,654 35 Class B 9 — — 9 — — — 9 — — — 9 2020 4,574 50 4,624 92 Weighted-average common shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per common share attributable to Comcast Corporation shareholders (“diluted EPS”) considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.

Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the combination of the option exercise price and the associated unrecognized compensation expense is greater than the average market price of our common stock. Antidilutive securities represent the number of potential common shares related to our share-based compensation plans that were excluded from diluted EPS because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Awards generally vest over a period of 5 years and, in the case of stock options, have a 10 year term. Additionally, through our employee stock purchase plans, employees are able to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. As of December 31, 2022, virtually all of our stock options outstanding were net settled stock options, which result in fewer shares being issued and no cash proceeds being received by us when the options are exercised.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards.

The carrying amounts of our cash equivalents approximate their fair values, which are primarily based on Level 1 inputs. Note 15: Commitments and Contingencies Sports Rights and Licensed Content Our most significant fixed-price purchase obligations relate to long-term commitments for sports rights and licensed content. Refer to Note 4 for additional information. Leases Our leases consist primarily of real estate, vehicles and other equipment. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized upon commencement of the lease based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We generally utilize our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement of the lease in determining the present value of future payments. The lease asset also includes any lease payments made and initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. Lease assets and liabilities are not recorded for leases with an initial term of one year or less. For our operating leases recorded in the balance sheet, lease expense is based on the future minimum lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease plus any variable lease costs. In 2022, 2021 and 2020, operating lease expenses, inclusive of short-term and variable lease expenses, recognized in our consolidated statement of income were $1.2 billion, $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. These amounts do not include lease costs associated with production activities or other amounts capitalized in our consolidated balance sheet, which were not material. 95 Comcast 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents Comcast Corporation The table below summarizes the operating lease assets and liabilities recorded in our consolidated balance sheet.

In 2022, 2021 and 2020, cash payments for operating leases recorded in the consolidated balance sheet were $965 million, $987 million and $936 million respectively. We recognized operating lease assets and liabilities of $2.8 billion related to Universal Beijing Resort in 2021. Lease assets and liabilities associated with other operating leases entered into or modified were not material in any period presented. Contractual Obligation We are party to a contractual obligation that involves an interest held by a third party in the revenue of certain theme parks. The arrangement provides the counterparty with the right to periodic payments associated with current period revenue which are recorded as an operating expense, and beginning in June 2017, the option to require NBCUniversal to purchase the interest for cash in an amount based on a contractual formula. The contractual formula is based on an average of specified historical theme park revenue at the time of exercise, which amount could be significantly higher than our carrying value. As of December 31, 2022, our carrying value was $1.1 billion, and the estimated value of the contractual obligation was $1.3 billion based on inputs to the contractual formula as of that date. Redeemable Subsidiary Preferred Stock In the first quarter of 2021, we redeemed all of the NBCUniversal Enterprise, Inc. preferred stock and made cash payments equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of $725 million. The redeemable subsidiary preferred stock was presented in redeemable noncontrolling interests. Contingencies We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions is not expected to materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position, any litigation resulting from any such legal proceedings or claims could be time-consuming and injure our reputation.

(1) DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK In the following summary, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer only to Comcast and not any of its subsidiaries. The statements made under this caption include summaries of certain provisions contained in our articles of incorporation and by-laws. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such articles of incorporation and by-laws. We have two classes of common stock outstanding: Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share. There are currently authorized 7.5 billion shares of Class A common stock, 75 million shares of Class B common stock and 20 million shares of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) may issue preferred stock, in one or more series, without par value, with full, limited, multiple, fractional, or no voting rights, and with such designations, preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations, restrictions, options, conversion rights and other special rights as our Board shall determine. Dividends Subject to the preferential rights of any preferred stock then outstanding, holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to receive, from time to time, when, as and if declared, in the discretion of our Board, such cash dividends as our Board may from time to time determine, out of such funds as are legally available therefor, in proportion to the number of shares held by them, respectively, without regard to class. Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will also be entitled to receive, from time to time, when, as and if declared by our Board, such dividends of our stock or other property as our Board may determine, out of such funds as are legally available therefor. However, stock dividends on, or stock splits of, any class of common stock will not be paid or issued unless paid or issued on all classes of our common stock, in which case they will be paid or issued only in shares of that class; provided, however, that stock dividends on, or stock splits of, our Class B common stock may also be paid or issued in shares of our Class A common stock. Voting Rights As a general matter, on all matters submitted for a vote to holders of all classes of our voting stock, holders of our Class A common stock in the aggregate hold 66 2/3% of the aggregate voting power of our capital stock, and holders of our Class B common stock in the aggregate hold a non-dilutable 33 1/3% of the combined voting power of our capital stock. This nondilutable voting power is subject to proportional decrease to the extent the number of shares of Class B common stock is reduced below 9,444,375, subject to adjustment in specified situations. Stock dividends payable on the Class B common stock in the form of Class B common stock do not decrease the nondilutable voting power of the Class B common stock. Approval Rights Except as required by law, holders of Class A common stock have no specific approval rights over any corporate actions. Holders of our Class B common stock have an approval right over (1) any merger of us with another company or any other transaction, in each case that requires our shareholders’ approval under applicable law, or any other transaction that would result in any person or group owning shares representing in excess of 10% of the aggregate voting power of the resulting or surviving corporation, or any issuance of securities (other than pursuant to director or officer stock option or purchase plans) requiring our shareholders’ approval under the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or quotation system; (2) any issuance of our Class B common stock or any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into our Class B common stock; and (3) articles of incorporation or by-law amendments (such as an amendment to the articles of incorporation to opt in to any of the Pennsylvania antitakeover statutes) and other actions (such as the adoption, amendment or redemption of a shareholder rights plan) that limit the rights of holders of our Class B common stock or any subsequent transferee of our Class B common stock to transfer, vote or otherwise exercise rights with respect to our capital stock. Conversion of Class B Common Stock The Class B common stock is convertible share for share into Class A common stock, subject to certain restrictions. Preference on Liquidation In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to receive, subject to any liquidation preference of any preferred stock then outstanding, our remaining assets, if any, in proportion to the number of shares held by them without regard to class. Mergers, Consolidations, Etc. Our articles of incorporation provide that if in a transaction such as a merger, consolidation, share exchange or recapitalization, holders of each class of our common stock outstanding do not receive the same consideration for each of their shares of our common stock (i.e., the same amount of cash or the same number of shares of each class of stock issued in the transaction in proportion to the number of shares of our common stock held by them, respectively, without regard to class), holders of each such class of our common stock will receive “mirror” securities (i.e., shares of a class of stock having substantially equivalent rights as the applicable class of our common stock). Miscellaneous The holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock do not have any preemptive rights. All shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock presently outstanding are, and all shares of the Class A common stock offered hereby, or issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of securities offered hereby, will, when issued, be, fully paid and nonassessable. (2) DESCRIPTION OF OUR 2.0% EXCHANGEABLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES DUE 2029 The following summary of our 2.0% Exchangeable Subordinated Debentures due 2029 (the “ZONES”) is based on the indenture dated as of June 15, 1999 between Comcast Holdings Corporation (“Comcast Holdings” or the “Issuer”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company), as Trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of September 12, 2005 among Comcast Holdings, the Trustee and Comcast (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Indenture. For the purposes of this summary, references to “we” and “our” refer only to Comcast Holdings. General The ZONES are unsecured, subordinated obligations of Comcast Holdings and will mature on November 15, 2029. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the ZONES are payable at the office or agency we maintain for such purpose within the City and State of New York or, at our option, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the holders of the ZONES at their respective addresses set forth in the register of holders of the ZONES, provided that all payments with respect to ZONES, the holders of which have given wire transfer instructions, on or prior to the relevant record date, to the paying agent, are made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders. Until we otherwise designate, our office or agency in New York will be the office of the trustee maintained for that purpose. The ZONES are issued in denominations of one ZONES and integral multiples thereof. Interest We make quarterly interest payments in an amount equal to $0.4082 per ZONES, or 2.0% per year of the original principal amount, plus the amount of any quarterly cash dividend paid on the reference shares attributable to each ZONES. Holders of the ZONES are not expected to receive interest attributable to any cash dividend on the reference shares for this payment period because Sprint has never paid a cash dividend on its Sprint PCS stock. Interest on the ZONES accrues from the issue date of the ZONES. We pay this interest quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning February 15, 2000, but subject to our right to defer quarterly payments of interest. We also distribute, as additional interest on the ZONES, any property, including cash (other than any quarterly cash dividend), distributed on or with respect to the reference shares (other than publicly traded equity securities, which will themselves become reference shares). If the additional interest on the reference shares includes publicly traded securities (other than equity securities), we will distribute those securities. We will not, however, distribute fractional units of securities. We will pay cash instead of distributing the fractional units. Otherwise, we will distribute the fair market value of any property comprising additional interest as determined in good faith by our board of directors. We will distribute any additional interest to holders of the ZONES on the 20th business day after it is distributed on the reference shares. The record date for any distribution of additional interest is the 10th business day after the date any cash or property is distributed on the reference shares. If extraordinary dividends on the reference shares are paid, the contingent principal amount will be reduced on a quarterly basis to the extent necessary so that the yield to the date of computation (including all interest payments other than those attributable to regular periodic cash dividends) does not exceed 2.0%. In no event will the contingent principal amount be less than zero. Changes in the contingent principal amount will not affect the amount of the quarterly interest payments. If interest or additional interest is payable on a date that is not a business day (as defined at the end of this paragraph), payment will be made on the next business day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of this delay). However, if the next business day is in the next calendar year, payment of interest will be made on the preceding business day. A “business day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close. Deferral of interest payments If no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the ZONES, we can, on one or more occasions, defer quarterly interest payments on the ZONES for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods. If we terminate a deferral period and subsequently elect to defer quarterly interest payments, we will again be subject to the 20 consecutive quarterly period limitation. We will not, however, be subject to the 20 consecutive quarterly period limitation on deferral if, as a result of a tender offer, an exchange offer, a business combination or otherwise, all reference shares cease to be outstanding, and we subsequently elect to defer quarterly payments of interest on the ZONES. Any deferral of interest payments cannot extend, however, beyond the maturity date of the ZONES. We can never defer distributions of additional interest. If we defer quarterly payments of interest, the contingent principal amount of the ZONES will increase by the amount of the deferred quarterly payments of interest, plus accrued interest thereon at an annual rate of 2.0%, compounded quarterly, and the early exchange ratio will be 100% for the quarter following each deferral of a payment of quarterly interest. Once we have paid all deferred quarterly interest, plus accrued interest thereon, together with the quarterly interest payment for the current quarterly interest payment period, the contingent principal amount will reduce by the amount of that payment of deferred quarterly interest plus accrued interest thereon, the early exchange ratio will decrease to 95% and we can again defer quarterly interest payments as described above. Instead of accruing cash interest on the ZONES during a quarterly deferral period, so long as the current market value of the reference shares exceeds the original principal amount of the ZONES, we may at our option, but are not obligated to, increase the number of reference shares attributable to each ZONES by an annual rate of 2.0%. If we elect to make this increase, we will be deemed current on that quarterly payment of interest and will not increase the contingent principal amount, although the early exchange ratio will remain at 100% only for the five business days immediately following the scheduled quarterly interest payment date related to the deferral. After that five day period, the early exchange ratio will decrease to 95%. At the time we give notice that we intend to defer a quarterly payment of interest, we must elect to either accrue cash interest on the ZONES for that quarterly interest period or increase the number of reference shares attributable to the ZONES, each as described above. If we elect to defer interest on the ZONES in any particular quarter, we will give the trustee notice. We will also prepare a press release and provide it to DTC for dissemination through the DTC broadcast facility. We will give this notice one business day before the earlier of: • • the record date for the next date that interest on the ZONES is payable; or the date we are required to give notice to the NYSE (or any other applicable self-regulatory organization) or to holders of the ZONES of the record date or the date any quarterly interest payment is payable. We refer to the last date on which we can give notice that we intend to defer the payment of interest in respect of a quarterly payment of interest as a deferral notice date. When applicable, we will state in any deferral notice that we are not subject to the 20 consecutive period limitation on deferrals and may continue to defer the payment of quarterly interest until maturity or earlier redemption. Principal amount The original principal amount per ZONES is equal to its initial purchase price, or $81.6325. The minimum amount payable upon redemption or maturity of a ZONES (which we refer to as the contingent principal amount) will initially be equal to the original principal amount. If an “extraordinary dividend” is ever paid on the reference shares, the contingent principal amount will be reduced on a quarterly basis to the extent necessary so that the yield to the date of computation (including all quarterly interest payments other than those attributable to regular periodic cash dividends) does not exceed a 2.0% annual yield. In no event will the contingent principal amount be less than zero. An “extraordinary dividend” means a dividend or distribution consisting of cash or any other property (other than additional reference shares), except for regular periodic cash dividends. If all of the reference shares cease to be outstanding as a result of a tender offer, an exchange offer, a business combination or otherwise, the maturity of the ZONES will not be accelerated and the ZONES will continue to remain outstanding until the maturity date unless earlier redeemed by us. At maturity, holders will be entitled to receive the higher of (a) the contingent principal amount of the ZONES or (b) the sum of the current market value of the reference shares on the maturity date plus any deferred quarterly payments of interest (including any accrued interest thereon), plus, in each case, the final period distribution. A “final period distribution” means, in respect of (a) the maturity date, a distribution determined in accordance with clauses (2), (3) and (4) below, and (b) the redemption date, a distribution determined in accordance with clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below. If the redemption date is in connection with a rollover offering, the distribution determined in accordance with clause (4) shall be all dividends and distributions on or in respect of the reference shares which a holder of reference shares on the pricing date (defined below) would be entitled to receive. Unless (a) the scheduled redemption date of the ZONES is also a scheduled quarterly interest payment date or (b) quarterly interest has been deferred for the then current quarterly dividend period, an amount equal to an annual rate of 2.0% on the original principal amount of the ZONES from the most recent scheduled interest payment date to the date of redemption, plus all dividends and distributions on or in respect of the reference shares declared by the applicable reference company and for which the ex- date for the dividend or distribution falls during the period from the date of original issuance of the ZONES to the most recent scheduled interest payment date and which have not been distributed to holders of reference shares prior to the most recent scheduled interest payment date, plus all dividends and distributions on or in respect of the reference shares which a holder of reference shares during the period from the most recent scheduled quarterly interest payment date to the date immediately preceding the first trading day of the averaging period is entitled to receive, plus a distribution equal to the sum of, for each successive day in the averaging period that is anticipated on the first day of the averaging period to be a trading day, the amounts determined in accordance with the following formula: (1) (2) (3) (4) E x (1 - 0.05n) where: all dividends and distributions on or in respect of the reference shares which a holder of reference shares on the applicable day would be entitled to receive, provided that an ex- date that occurs on a day that is not a scheduled trading day shall be deemed to have occurred on the immediately preceding scheduled trading day; and the number of scheduled trading days that have elapsed in the averaging period with the first trading day of the averaging period being counted as zero. E = n = A holder of the ZONES is only entitled to receive distributions determined in accordance with clauses (2), (3) or (4) to the extent actually distributed by the applicable reference company. Amounts calculated with respect to cash amounts paid by the applicable reference company on reference shares as described in clauses (2), (3) or (4) before the redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may be, will be paid on the redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may be. Amounts calculated with respect to all other property distributed, or the cash value of the property, will be distributed within 20 business days after it is distributed on the reference shares. Exchange option At any time or from time to time, holders of the ZONES may exchange the ZONES for an amount of cash equal to 95% (which we refer to as the early exchange ratio) of the exchange market value of the reference shares attributable to each ZONES. The early exchange ratio will be equal to (a) 95% of the exchange market value of the reference shares attributable to each ZONES or (b) during a deferral of the quarterly interest payments on the ZONES or, if we so elect, during the pendency of any tender or exchange offer for any of the reference shares, 100% of the exchange market value of the reference shares attributable to each ZONES. We will pay the amount due upon exchange as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of an exchange notice to the trustee, but in no event earlier than three trading days after the date of the notice or later than ten trading days after the date of the notice. The “exchange market value” means the closing price (as defined below) on the trading day (as defined below) following the date of delivery of an exchange notice to the trustee, unless more than 500,000 ZONES have been delivered for exchange on that date. If more than 500,000 ZONES have been delivered for exchange, then the exchange market value shall be the average closing price on the five trading days following that date. If more than 500,000 ZONES are delivered for exchange on any one day, we will give the trustee notice. We will also issue a press release prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next trading day, and provide it to DTC for dissemination through the DTC broadcast facility. Our failure to provide these notices, however, will not affect the determination of exchange market value as described above. So long as the ZONES are held through DTC, a holder may exercise his or her exchange right through the relevant direct participant in the DTC ATOP system. If the ZONES are held in certificated form, such holder may exercise his or her exchange right as follows: • • • • complete and manually sign an exchange notice in the form available from the trustee and deliver this notice to the trustee at the office maintained by the trustee for this purpose; surrender the ZONES to the trustee; if required, furnish appropriate endorsement and transfer documents; and if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes. Pursuant to the Indenture, the date on which all of the foregoing requirements have been satisfied is the redemption date with respect to the ZONES delivered for exchange. Redemption We may redeem at any time all but not some of the ZONES at a redemption price equal to the sum of the higher of the contingent principal amount of the ZONES or the sum of the current market value of the reference shares plus any deferred quarterly payments of interest, plus, in either case, the final period distribution. The “current market value” (other than in the case of a rollover offering, which is described below) is defined as the average closing price per reference share on the 20 trading days (which we refer to as the averaging period) immediately prior to (but not including) the fifth business day preceding the redemption date; provided, however, that for purposes of determining the payment required upon redemption in connection with a rollover offering, “current market value” means the closing price per reference share on the trading day immediately preceding the date that the rollover offering is priced (which we refer to as the pricing date) or, if the rollover offering is priced after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the pricing date, the closing price per share on the pricing date, except that if there is not a trading day immediately preceding the pricing date or (where pricing occurs after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the pricing date) if the pricing date is not a trading day, “current market value” means the market value per reference share as of the redemption date as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by us. A “rollover offering” means a refinancing by us of the ZONES by way of either (a) a sale of the reference shares or (b) a sale of securities that are priced by reference to the reference shares, in either case, by means of a completed public offering or offerings by us (which may include one or more exchange offers) and which is expected to yield net proceeds which are sufficient to pay the redemption amount for all of the ZONES. The trustee will notify holders if we elect to redeem their ZONES in connection with a rollover offering not less than 30 nor more than 60 business days prior to the redemption date. We will also issue a press release prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day immediately before the day on which the closing price of the reference shares is to be measured for the purpose of determining the current market value in connection with a rollover offering. The notice will state we are firmly committed to price the rollover offering, will specify the date on which the rollover offering is to be priced (including whether the rollover offering will be priced during trading on the pricing date or after the close of trading on the pricing date) and consequently, whether the closing price for the reference shares by which the current market value will be measured will be the closing price on the trading date immediately preceding the pricing date or the closing price on the pricing date. We will provide that press release to DTC for dissemination through the DTC broadcast facility. The “closing price” of any security on any date of determination means the closing sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price) of that security (regular way) on the NYSE on that date or, if that security is not listed for trading on the NYSE on that date, as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which that security is so listed, or if that security is not so listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the Nasdaq National Market, or if that security is not so reported, the last quoted bid price for that security in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization. In the event that no such quotation is available for any day, our board of directors will be entitled to determine the closing price on the basis of those quotations that it in good faith considers appropriate. To the extent that trading of reference shares regular way continues past 4:00 p.m., New York City time, “closing price” shall be deemed to refer to the price at the time that is then customary for determining the trading day’s index levels for stocks traded on the primary national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the reference shares are then traded or quoted. All references to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, in the definition of “current market value” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the then customary determination time. A “trading day” is defined as a day on which the security, the closing price of which is being determined, (a) is not suspended from trading on any national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market at the close of business and (b) has traded at least once on the national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market that is the primary market for the trading of that security. In addition, if at any time on or prior to January 30, 2000, a “tax event” shall occur and be continuing, we will have the right exercisable within 180 days after such “tax event”, upon not less than 15 business days’ notice, to redeem the ZONES, in whole, at a redemption price equal to the higher of the contingent principal amount of the ZONES or the sum of the current market value of the reference shares, determined by reference to an averaging period of 5 rather than 20 trading days, plus, in either case, the final period distribution (computed by accounting for the 5-day averaging period), plus any deferred quarterly payments of interest. A “tax event” means that the trustee shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that as a result of (a) any amendment to, clarification of, or change (including any announced prospective change) in the laws, or any regulations thereunder, of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or (b) any judicial decision, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, notice or announcement, including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt such procedures or regulations, in each case, on or after the date of this prospectus supplement (a “change in tax law”), there is the creation by such change in tax law of a substantial risk that, as a result of entrance into the ZONES, we will be treated for purposes of Section 1259 of the Internal Revenue Code as having constructively sold some or all of our Sprint PCS Stock. We will give holders 30 business days’ notice before the redemption of the ZONES (in the case of a redemption not pursuant to a “tax event”) and will irrevocably deposit with the trustee sufficient funds to pay the redemption amount. Distributions to be paid on or before the redemption date of the ZONES will be payable to the holders on the record dates for the related dates of distribution. Once notice of redemption is given and funds are irrevocably deposited, interest on the ZONES will cease to accrue on and after the date of redemption and all rights of the holders of the ZONES will cease, except for the right of the holders to receive the redemption amount (but without interest on that redemption amount), including, if applicable, the final period distribution. If the redemption date is not a business day, then the redemption amount will be payable on the next business day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of that delay). However, if the next business day is in the next calendar year, the redemption amount will be payable on the preceding business day. If we improperly withhold or refuse to pay the redemption amount for the ZONES, interest on the ZONES will continue to accrue at an annual rate of 2.0% from the original redemption date to the actual date of payment. In this case, the actual payment date will be considered the redemption date for purposes of calculating the redemption amount. The final period distribution will be deemed paid on the original redemption date scheduled to the extent paid as set forth in the definition of final period distribution above. In compliance with applicable law (including the United States federal securities laws), we and our affiliates may, at any time, purchase outstanding ZONES by tender, in the open market or by private agreement. Subordination The ZONES are unsecured and junior in right of payment to all senior indebtedness (as we define below). This means that no payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest on the ZONES may be made if: any of our senior indebtedness is not paid when due, any applicable grace period with respect to any default for non-payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any senior indebtedness has ended and that default has not been cured or waived or ceased to exist; or the maturity of any senior indebtedness has been accelerated because of a default. • • On any distribution of our assets to creditors upon any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or other similar proceedings, all principal of, premium, if any, interest and any other amounts due or to become due on, all senior indebtedness must be paid in full before the holders of the ZONES are entitled to receive or retain any payment. Because of this subordination, if we dissolve or otherwise liquidate, holders of senior indebtedness may receive more, ratably, and holders of subordinated debt, including the ZONES, may receive less, ratably, than our other creditors. Upon payment in full of the senior indebtedness, the holders of the ZONES will assume rights similar to the holders of senior indebtedness to receive any remaining payments or distributions applicable to senior indebtedness until all amounts owing on the ZONES are paid in full. The ZONES are intended to rank equally with all other existing and future subordinated debt and trade obligations of Comcast Holdings. “Senior indebtedness” means the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and any other payment due pursuant to any of the following, whether outstanding today or incurred by us in the future: all of our indebtedness for money borrowed, including any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or other lien which is (1) given to secure all or part of the purchase price of property subject to the mortgage or lien, whether given to the vendor of that property or to another lender, or (2) existing on property at the time we acquire it; all of our indebtedness evidenced by notes, debentures, bonds or other securities sold by us for money; all of our lease obligations which are capitalized on our books in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; • • • all indebtedness of others of the kinds described in the first two bullet points above and all lease obligations of others of the kind described in the third bullet point above that we, in any manner, assume or guarantee or that we in effect guarantee through an agreement to purchase, whether that agreement is contingent or otherwise; and all renewals, extensions or refundings of indebtedness of the kinds described in the first, second or fourth bullet point above and all renewals or extensions of leases of the kinds described in the third or fourth bullet point above; • • unless, in the case of any particular indebtedness, lease, renewal, extension or refunding, the instrument or lease creating or evidencing it or the assumption or guarantee relating to it expressly provides that such indebtedness, lease, renewal, extension or refunding is not superior in right of payment to subordinated debt securities. Our senior debt securities, and any indebtedness outstanding under our senior subordinated debentures indenture dated as of October 17, 1991 between us and Harris Trust and Savings Bank as successor trustee to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, constitute senior indebtedness for purposes of the Indenture. Senior Indebtedness does not include any indebtedness that is by its terms junior or equal with the ZONES. The ZONES do not limit our ability or that of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness that ranks senior in priority of payment to the ZONES. Amount payable upon bankruptcy Upon dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceedings in respect of Comcast Holdings, holders of the ZONES should be entitled to a claim against us in an amount equal to the higher of (a) the contingent principal amount of the ZONES or (b) the sum of the current market value (without giving effect to the provisions relating to rollover offerings) of the reference shares plus any deferred quarterly payments of interest (including any accrued interest thereon), plus, in either case, the final period distribution determined as if the date of such event was the maturity date of the ZONES. Because of the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture, the amount holders actually receive is likely to be substantially less than the amount of their claim. Dilution adjustments For purposes of this document, “reference company” means Sprint and any other issuer of a reference share. A “reference share” means, collectively: • initially, one share of Sprint PCS stock; and after the issuance of the ZONES, each share or fraction of a share of publicly traded equity securities received by a holder of a reference share in respect of that reference share, and, to the extent the reference share remains outstanding after any of the following events but without duplication, including the reference share, in each case directly or as the result of successive applications of this paragraph upon any of the following events: • ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ the distribution on or in respect of a reference share in reference shares; the combination of reference shares into a smaller number of shares or other units; the subdivision of outstanding shares or other units of reference shares; the conversion or reclassification of reference shares by issuance or exchange of other securities; any consolidation or merger of a reference company, or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of a reference company (which we refer to as a reference company successor), with or into another entity (other than a merger or consolidation in which the reference company is the continuing corporation and in which the reference company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the reference company or another corporation); any statutory exchange of securities of the reference company or any reference company successor with another corporation (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition and other than a statutory exchange of securities in which the reference company is the continuing corporation and in which the reference company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the statutory exchange is not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the reference company or another corporation); and any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the reference company or any reference company successor. For purposes of the foregoing: a conversion or redemption by Sprint of all shares of Sprint PCS stock pursuant to Article Sixth, Section 7.1 of its Articles of Incorporation shall be deemed a consolidation or merger, with the Sprint PCS Group deemed to be the reference company, with Sprint deemed to be the reference company successor if Sprint FON stock or any other common stock of Sprint is issued in exchange for the Sprint PCS stock or with the relevant acquiror of the Sprint PCS Group assets deemed to be the reference company successor if common stock other than Sprint FON stock is issued in exchange for the Sprint PCS stock; and a redemption by Sprint pursuant to Article Sixth, Section 7.2 of its Articles of Incorporation of all of the outstanding shares of Sprint PCS stock in exchange for common stock of one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries that collectively hold all of the assets and liabilities attributed to its PCS Group shall be deemed an exchange of shares of Sprint PCS stock for shares of common stock of the relevant subsidiary or subsidiaries. • • As described above under “Interest,” we will pay as additional interest to holders of the ZONES any property received in distribution on a reference share, unless it is also a reference share, in which case it shall become part of a reference share. Upon any distribution of fractional shares or units of securities, other than fractional reference shares, we will pay the holders cash in lieu of distribution of such fractional shares or other units. A “reference share offer” means any tender offer or exchange offer made for all or a portion of a class of reference shares of a reference company. A “reference share offer” shall include a conversion or redemption by Sprint of less than all shares of Sprint PCS stock pursuant to Article Sixth, Section 7.1 of its Articles of Incorporation. If a reference share offer is made, we may, at our option, either: • • during the pendency of the offer, increase the early exchange ratio to 100%; or make a reference share offer adjustment. A “reference share offer adjustment” means including as part of a reference share each share of publicly traded equity securities, if any, deemed to be distributed on or in respect of a reference share as average transaction consideration less the reference share proportionate reduction (as defined below). The average transaction consideration deemed to be received by a holder of one reference share in a reference share offer will be equal to (a) the aggregate consideration actually paid or distributed to all holders of reference shares in the reference share offer, divided by (b) the total number of reference shares outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of the reference share offer and entitled to participate in that reference share offer. The “reference share proportionate reduction” means a proportionate reduction in the number of reference shares which are the subject of the applicable reference share offer and attributable to one ZONES calculated in accordance with the following formula: where: R = X / N R = X = N = the fraction by which the number of reference shares of the class of reference shares subject to the reference share offer and attributable to one ZONES will be reduced. the aggregate number of reference shares of the class of reference shares subject to the reference share offer accepted in the reference share offer. the aggregate number of reference shares of the class of reference shares subject to the reference share offer outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of the reference share offer. If we elect to make a reference share offer adjustment, we will distribute as additional interest on each ZONES the average transaction consideration deemed to be received on the reference shares of the class subject to the reference share offer and attributable to each ZONES immediately prior to giving effect to the reference share proportionate reduction relating to that reference share offer (other than average transaction consideration that is publicly traded equity securities which will themselves become reference shares as a result of a reference share offer adjustment). If we elect to make a reference share offer adjustment, and during the pendency of the reference share offer another reference share offer is commenced in relation to the reference shares the subject of the then existing reference share offer, we can change our original election by electing to increase the early exchange ratio to 100% during the pendency of the new reference share offer, or we can continue to elect to make a reference share offer adjustment. We will similarly be entitled to change our election for each further reference share offer made during the pendency of any reference share offer for the same class of reference shares. For the purposes of these adjustments, a material change to the terms of an existing reference share offer will be deemed to be a new reference share offer. If we elect to increase the early exchange ratio to 100% in connection with a reference share offer, no reference share offer adjustment will be made and we cannot change our election if any further reference share offer is made. We will give the trustee notice of our election in the event of any reference share offer. We will also prepare a press release and provide it to DTC for dissemination through the DTC broadcast facility. We will give this notice no later than 10 business days before the scheduled expiration of the reference share offer. Calculations in respect of the ZONES We will be responsible for making all calculations called for under the ZONES. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determination of: • • • • • • • • the contingent principal amount of the ZONES; the current market value of the reference shares; the exchange market value of the reference shares; the final period distribution on the ZONES; the cash value of any property distributed on the reference shares; the average transaction consideration in a reference share offer; the composition of a reference share; and the amount of accrued interest payable upon redemption or at maturity of the ZONES. We will make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, our calculations are final and binding on holders of the ZONES. We will provide a schedule of our calculations to the trustee and the trustee is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of our calculations without independent verification. Modification and Waiver Comcast Holdings, when authorized by a resolution of its Board certified to the Trustee, and the Trustee, without consent of holders, may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following purposes: (a) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Issuer, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer; (b) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under the Indenture or under any supplemental indenture as the Board may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the ZONES in any material respect; (c) to establish the form or terms of securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03 to the Base Indenture; (d) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the ZONES and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Base Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.10 to the Base Indenture; (e) to comply with any requirements in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939; (f) to provide for uncertificated or unregistered securities and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose; (g) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder; (h) as provided by or pursuant to a board resolution or indenture supplemental hereto establishing the terms of one or more series of ZONES; (i) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as its Board shall consider to be for the protection of the holders of ZONES, and with respect to which the Trustee has received an opinion of counsel to a similar effect, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the ZONES to waive such an Event of Default; or (j) to make any change so long as no ZONES are outstanding. With the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the ZONES at the time outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as one class), the Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board, and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the ZONES; provided, that no such supplemental indenture shall without the consent of each holder affected thereby: (a) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any sinking fund obligation or any installment of interest on the ZONES; (b) reduce the principal thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or any premium payable with respect thereto; (c) change any place of payment where, or the currency in which, any ZONES or any premium or the interest thereon is payable; (d) change the provisions for calculating the optional redemption price, including the definitions relating thereto; make any change to Section 4.07 or 4.10 to the Base Indenture; (e) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding ZONES the consent of whose holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, for any waiver of compliance with any provisions of the Indenture or any defaults and their consequences provided for in the Base Indenture; (f) alter or impair the right to convert any ZONES at the rate and upon the terms provided in Article 13 to the Base Indenture; (g) waive a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any ZONES; (h) adversely affect the rights of such holder under any mandatory redemption or repurchase provision or any right of redemption or repurchase at the option of such holder; (i) modify any of the provisions of Section 7.02 to the Base Indenture, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of ZONES affected thereby; or (j) change or waive any provision that, pursuant to a board resolution or indenture supplemental hereto establishing the terms of the ZONES, is prohibited to be so changed or waived. Events of Default “Event of Default” means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) (b) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any ZONES as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; default in the payment of all or any part of the principal on any ZONES as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Issuer in respect of the ZONES (other than a covenant or warranty in respect of the ZONES a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding ZONES affected thereby, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” pursuant to the Indenture; a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 180 consecutive days; the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture or resolution of the Board under which such ZONES are issued or in the form of security for such series. (c) (d) (e) (f) If an Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c), or (f) above occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all ZONES shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the ZONES then outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by holders), may declare the entire principal of all ZONES and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clauses (d) or (e) occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all ZONES then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be and become immediately due and payable, without any notice or other action by any holder or the Trustee, to the full extent permitted by applicable law. (3) DESCRIPTION OF OUR 5.50% NOTES DUE 2029 The following summary of our 5.50% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) is based on the indenture dated as of January 7, 2003 among Comcast as the issuer (the “Issuer”), certain guarantors named therein and the Bank of New York (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of March 25, 2003, the second supplemental indenture dated as of August 31, 2009, the third supplemental indenture dated as of March 27, 2013 and the fourth supplemental indenture dated as of October 1, 2015 among Comcast, Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, NBCUniversal Media, LLC (together with Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, the “Guarantors”), and The Bank of New York Mellon (f/k/a The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”) (collectively with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Indenture. Interest Payments The 2029 Notes bears interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum and we will pay interest on the 2029 Notes on November 23 of each year, beginning November 23, 2011. Interest on the 2029 Notes is computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the date from which interest begins to accrue for the period (or November 23, 2010 if no interest has been paid on the 2029 Notes), to but excluding the next scheduled interest payment date. If the scheduled interest payment date is not a business day, then interest will be paid on the first business day following the scheduled interest payment date. Interest periods are unadjusted. The day count convention is ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA). Guarantees Our obligations under the 2029 Notes and the Indenture, including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Guarantors The guarantees will not contain any restrictions on the ability of any Guarantor to (i) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of that Guarantor’s capital stock or (ii) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of that Guarantor. Optional Redemption We have the right at our option to redeem any of the 2029 Notes in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each holder of notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such notes and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (actual/actual (ICMA)) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 28 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”) plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield (as calculated by the trustee) on the 2029 Notes, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Comparable Government Bond (as defined below) on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by us. “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by us, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the 2029 Notes, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other United Kingdom government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, United Kingdom government bonds selected by such independent investment bank, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2029 Notes or any portion of the 2029 Notes called for redemption (unless we default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest). On or before the redemption date, we will deposit with the trustee money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and (unless the redemption date shall be an interest payment date) accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the 2029 Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the 2029 Notes of any series are to be redeemed, the 2029 Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the trustee by such method as the trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. Additionally, we may at any time repurchase notes in the open market and may hold or surrender such notes to the trustee for cancellation. The 2029 Notes are also subject to redemption prior to maturity if certain events occur involving United States taxation. If any of these special tax events do occur, the 2029 Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. See “-Redemption for Tax Reasons.” Payment of Additional Amounts We are required, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, to pay as additional interest on the 2029 Notes such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment by us or a paying agent of the principal of and interest on the 2029 Notes to a holder 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 2029 Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply: to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the holder, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as: (1) (a) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States; having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the 2029 Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights hereunder), including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States; being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; being or having been a “10-percent shareholder” of Comcast as defined in section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any successor provision; or being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into the ordinary course of its trade or business; to any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the 2029 Notes, or a portion of the 2029 Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment; to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of the 2029 Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by us or a paying agent from the payment; (b) (c) (d) (e) (2) (3) (4) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and that is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings; to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent; to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of any note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; or (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), and (9). The 2029 Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the 2029 Notes. Except as specifically provided under this heading “-Payments of Additional Amounts,” we will not be required to make any payment for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision. As used under this heading “-Payments of Additional Amounts” and under the heading “-Redemption for Tax Reasons”, the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the states and the District of Columbia and any political subdivision thereof), 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 or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source. 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 this prospectus supplement, we become or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by us, will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described herein under the heading “-Payment of Additional Amounts” with respect to the 2029 Notes, then we may at any time at our option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the 2029 Notes on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with interest accrued but unpaid on those notes to the date fixed for redemption. No Mandatory Redemption or Sinking Fund There is no mandatory redemption prior to maturity or sinking fund payments for the 2029 Notes. Additional Debt The indenture does not limit the amount of debt we may issue under the indenture or otherwise. Certain Covenants The Issuer and the Guarantors are subject to some restrictions on their activities for the benefit of holders of all series of debt securities issued under the Indenture. The restrictive covenants summarized below apply, unless the covenants are waived or amended, so long as any of the debt securities are outstanding. The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants other than those summarized below and does not restrict the Issuer or its subsidiaries from paying dividends or incurring additional debt. In addition, the Indenture will not protect holders of notes issued under it in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or a change in control. Limitation on Liens Securing Indebtedness Neither Issuer nor any Guarantor shall create, incur or assume any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) on such person’s assets, including the Capital Stock of its wholly owned subsidiaries to secure the payment of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, unless the Issuer secures the outstanding 2029 Notes equally and ratably with (or prior to) all Indebtedness secured by such Lien, so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction involving any of such person’s assets, including the Capital Stock of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The restriction in the foregoing paragraph shall not apply to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction if: • • • • ◦ ◦ the lease is for a period of not in excess of three years, including renewal of rights; the lease secures or relates to industrial revenue or similar financing; the transaction is solely between the Issuer and a Guarantor or between or among Guarantors; or the Issuer or such Guarantor, within 270 days after the sale is completed, applies an amount equal to or greater than (a) the net proceeds of the sale of the assets or part thereof leased or (b) the fair market value of the assets or part thereof leased (as determined in good faith by the Issuer’s Board of Directors) either to: the retirement (or open market purchase) of notes, other long-term Indebtedness of the Issuer ranking on a parity with or senior to the 2029 Notes or long-term Indebtedness of a Guarantor; or the purchase by the Issuer or any Guarantor of other property, plant or equipment related to the business of the Issuer or any Guarantor having a value at least equal to the value of the assets or part thereof leased. “Capitalized Lease” means, as applied to any person, any lease of any property (whether real, personal, or mixed) of which the discounted present value of the rental obligations of such person as lessee, in conformity with GAAP, is required to be capitalized on the balance sheet of such person; and “Capitalized Lease Obligation” is defined to mean the rental obligations, as aforesaid, under such lease. “Capital Stock” means, with respect to any person, any and all shares, interests, participations, or other equivalents (however designated, whether voting or non-voting) of such person’s capital stock or other ownership interests, whether now outstanding or issued after the date of the Indenture, including, without limitation, all common stock and preferred stock. “Currency Agreement” means any foreign exchange contract, currency swap agreement, or other similar agreement or arrangement designed to protect against the fluctuation in currency values. “GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as in effect as of the date of determination, including, without limitation, those set forth in the opinions and pronouncements of the Accounting Principles Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and statements and pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or in such other statements by such other entity as approved by a significant segment of the accounting profession. All ratios and computations contained in the Indenture shall be computed in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. “Guarantee” means any obligation, contingent or otherwise, of any person directly or indirectly guaranteeing any Indebtedness or other obligation of any other person and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any obligation, direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, of such person: to purchase or pay (or advance or supply funds for the purchase or payment of) such Indebtedness or other obligation of such other person (whether arising by virtue of partnership arrangements, or by agreement to keep-well, to purchase assets, goods, securities, or services, to take-or-pay, or to maintain financial statement conditions or otherwise); or entered into for purposes of assuring in any other manner the obligee of such Indebtedness or other obligation of the payment thereof or to protect such obligee against loss in respect thereof (in whole or in part); • • provided that the term “Guarantee” shall not include endorsements for collection or deposit in the ordinary course of business. The term “Guarantee” used as a verb has a corresponding meaning. “Indebtedness” means, with respect to any person at any date of determination (without duplication): • • • • all indebtedness of such person for borrowed money; all obligations of such person evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes, or other similar instruments; all obligations of such person in respect of letters of credit or other similar instruments (including reimbursement obligations with respect thereto); all obligations of such person to pay the deferred and unpaid purchase price of property or services (but excluding trade accounts payable or accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business); • • • • ◦ ◦ all obligations of such person as lessee under Capitalized Leases; all Indebtedness of other persons secured by a Lien on any asset of such person, whether or not such Indebtedness is assumed by such person; provided that the amount of such Indebtedness shall be the lesser of: the fair market value of such asset at such date of determination; and the amount of such Indebtedness; all Indebtedness of other persons Guaranteed by such person to the extent such Indebtedness is Guaranteed by such person; and to the extent not otherwise included in this definition, obligations under Currency Agreements and Interest Rate Agreements. The amount of Indebtedness of any person at any date shall be the outstanding balance at such date of all unconditional obligations as described above and, with respect to contingent obligations, the maximum liability upon the occurrence of the contingency giving rise to the obligation; provided: that the amount outstanding at any time of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount is the face amount of such Indebtedness less the remaining unamortized portion of the original issue discount of such Indebtedness at such time as determined in conformity with GAAP; and that Indebtedness shall not include any liability for federal, state, local, or other taxes. • • “Interest Rate Agreements” means any obligations of any person pursuant to any interest rate swaps, caps, collars, and similar arrangements providing protection against fluctuations in interest rates. For purposes of the indenture, the amount of such obligations shall be the amount determined in respect thereof as of the end of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter of such person, based on the assumption that such obligation had terminated at the end of such fiscal quarter, and in making such determination, if any agreement relating to such obligation provides for the netting of amounts payable by and to such person thereunder or if any such agreement provides for the simultaneous payment of amounts by and to such person, then in each such case, the amount of such obligations shall be the net amount so determined, plus any premium due upon default by such person. “Lien” means, with respect to any asset, any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any kind, or any other type of preferential arrangement that has the practical effect of creating a security interest, in respect of such asset. For the purposes of the Indenture, the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be deemed to own subject to a Lien any asset that it has acquired or holds subject to the interest of a vendor or lessor under any conditional sale agreement, capital lease or other title retention agreement relating to such asset. “Permitted Liens” means: • • • • • • any Lien on any asset incurred prior to the date of the Indenture; any Lien on any assets acquired after the date of the Indenture (including by way of merger or consolidation) by the Issuer or any Guarantor, which Lien is created, incurred or assumed contemporaneously with such acquisition, or within 270 days thereafter, to secure or provide for the payment or financing of any part of the purchase price thereof, or any Lien upon any assets acquired after the date of the Indenture existing at the time of such acquisition (whether or not assumed by the Issuer or any Guarantor), provided that any such Lien shall attach only to the assets so acquired; any Lien on any assets in favor of the Issuer or any Guarantor; any Lien on assets incurred in connection with the issuance of tax-exempt governmental obligations (including, without limitation, industrial revenue bonds and similar financing); any Lien granted by any Guarantor on assets to the extent limitations on the incurrence of such Liens are prohibited by any agreement to which such Guarantor is subject as of the date of the Indenture; and any renewal of or substitution for any Lien permitted by any of the preceding bullet points, including any Lien securing reborrowing of amounts previously secured within 270 days of the repayment thereof, provided that no such renewal or substitution shall extend to any assets other than the assets covered by the Lien being renewed or substituted. “Sale and Leaseback Transaction” means any direct or indirect arrangement with any person or to which any such person is a party, providing for the leasing to the Issuer or a Guarantor of any property, whether owned by the Issuer or such Guarantor at the date of the original issuance of the 2029 Notes or later acquired, which has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Issuer or such Guarantor to such person or to any other person by whom funds have been or are to be advanced on the security of such property. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets The Indenture restricts the Issuer’s ability to consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and assets as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions to any person (other than a consolidation with or merger with or into or a sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition to a wholly-owned subsidiary with a positive net worth; provided that, in connection with any merger of the Issuer and a wholly-owned subsidiary, no consideration other than common stock in the surviving person shall be issued or distributed to the Issuer’s stockholders) or permit any person to merge with or into such party unless: the Issuer is the continuing person or the person formed by such consolidation or into which such party is merged or that acquired or leased such property and assets shall be a corporation or limited liability company organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any jurisdiction thereof and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the Issuer’s obligations on all of the 2029 Notes and under the Indenture; immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing; and the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an officers’ certificate and opinion of counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, merger, or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this provision and that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture and notes relating to such transaction have been complied with; • • • provided, however, that the foregoing limitations will not apply if, in the good faith determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, whose determination must be set forth in a board resolution, the principal purpose of such transaction is to change the state of incorporation of such party; and provided further that any such transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations. Upon any express assumption of the Issuer’s obligations as described above, the Issuer shall be released and discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and all the 2029 Notes. The Indenture and the guarantees do not limit the ability of any guarantor to consolidate with or merge into or sell all or substantially all its assets. Upon the sale or disposition of any guarantor (by merger, consolidation, the sale of its capital stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets) to any person, that guarantor will be deemed released from all its obligations under the Indenture and its guarantee. Modification and Waiver The Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the 2029 Notes without notice to or the consent of any holder: • • • • • • • • • to cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency in the Indenture; provided that such amendments or supplements shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders in any material respect; to comply with the provisions described under “-Certain Covenants-Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets;” to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee; to establish the form or forms or terms of the 2029 Notes as permitted by the Indenture; to provide for uncertificated notes and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose; to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder; to add to its covenants such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default; or to make any change so long as no 2029 Notes are outstanding. Subject to certain conditions, without prior notice to any holder of 2029 Notes, modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee with respect to any series of 2029 Notes with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the affected series of 2029 Notes, and compliance by the Issuer with any provision of the Indenture with respect to any series of 2029 Notes may be waived by written notice to the Trustee by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the affected series of 2029 Notes outstanding; provided, however, that each affected holder must consent to any modification, amendment or waiver that: • • • • • • • • changes the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, the 2029 Notes of the affected series; reduces the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the 2029 Notes of the affected series; changes the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the 2029 Notes of the affected series; changes the provisions for calculating the optional redemption price, including the definitions relating thereto; changes the provisions relating to the waiver of past defaults or changes or impairs the right of holders to receive payment or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of the 2029 Notes of the affected series on or after the due date therefor; reduces the above-stated percentage of outstanding 2029 Notes of the affected series the consent of whose holders is necessary to modify or amend or to waive certain provisions of or defaults under the Indenture; waives a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2029 Notes; or modifies any of the provisions of this paragraph, except to increase any required percentage or to provide that certain other provisions cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each 2029 Note of the series affected by the modification. It is not necessary for the consent of the holders under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any note amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under the Indenture becomes effective, notice must be given to the holders affected thereby briefly describing the amendment, supplement, or waiver. Supplemental indentures will be mailed to holders upon request. Any failure to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. Events of Default For purposes of this section, the term “Obligor” shall mean each of the Issuer and Guarantors, in each case excluding such entities’ subsidiaries. An event of default for a series of 2029 Notes is defined under the Indenture as being: (1) (2) (3) a default by any Obligor in the payment of principal or premium on the 2029 Notes of such series when the same becomes due and payable whether at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; a default by any Obligor in the payment of interest on the 2029 Notes of such series when the same becomes due and payable, if that default continues for a period of 30 days; default by any Obligor in the performance of or breach by any Obligor of any of its other covenants or agreements in the Indenture applicable to all the 2029 Notes or applicable to the 2029 Notes of any series and that default or breach continues for a period of 30 consecutive days after written notice is received from the Trustee or from the holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes of all affected series; (4) any guarantee is not in full force and effect; (5) a court having jurisdiction enters a decree or order for: • relief in respect of any Obligor in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect; • • appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, Trustee, sequestrator or similar official of any Obligor for any substantial part of such party’s property and assets; or the winding up or liquidation of any Obligor’s affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 180 consecutive days; or (6) any Obligor: commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law; consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator, or similar official of such party or for any substantial part of such party’s property; or effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors. • • • A default under any Obligor’s other indebtedness is not a default under the Indenture. If an event of default other than an event of default specified in clauses (5) and (6) above occurs with respect to an issue of 2029 Notes and is continuing under the Indenture, then, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of such 2029 Notes then outstanding under the Indenture by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if such notice is given by the holders, may, and the Trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, on such 2029 Notes to be immediately due and payable. The amount due upon acceleration shall include only the original issue price of the 2029 Notes and accrued to the date of acceleration and accrued interest, if any. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, on such 2029 Notes shall be immediately due and payable. If an event of default specified in clauses (5) and (6) above occurs with respect to any Obligor, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, on each issue of 2029 Notes then outstanding shall be and become immediately due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or any holder. Upon certain conditions such declarations may be rescinded and annulled and past defaults may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of an issue of 2029 Notes that has been accelerated. Furthermore, subject to various provisions in the Indenture, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of an issue of 2029 Notes by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing default or event of default with respect to such 2029 Notes and its consequences, except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on such 2029 Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each such 2029 Notes. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any event of default with respect to such 2029 Notes shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or event of default or impair any right consequent thereto. For information as to the waiver of defaults, see “-Modification and Waiver.” The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of an issue of 2029 Notes may direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such 2029 Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of such issue of 2029 Notes not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from holders of such issue of 2029 Notes. A holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or any series of 2029 Notes unless: • • • • • the holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing event of default; the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such series of 2029 Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy in respect of such event of default; the requesting holder or holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability, or expense; the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and during such 60-day period, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such series of 2029 Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request. These limitations, however, do not apply to the right of any holder of the 2029 Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such the 2029 Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date for the 2029 Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the holder. The Indenture will require certain of officers of the Issuer to certify, on or before a date not more than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, as to their knowledge of the Issuer’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture, such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under the Indenture. (4) DESCRIPTION OF OUR 0.000% NOTES DUE 2026, OUR 0.250% NOTES DUE 2027, OUR 0.250% NOTES DUE 2029, OUR 0.750% NOTES DUE 2032, OUR 1.250% NOTES DUE 2040, OUR 1.500% NOTES DUE 2029 AND OUR 1.875% NOTES DUE 2036 The following summary of our 0.000% Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Euro Notes”), our 0.250% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Euro Notes”), our 0.250% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Euro Notes”), our 0.750% Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Euro Notes”), our 1.250% Notes due 2040 (the “2040 Euro Notes”), our 1.500% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Sterling Notes”) and our 1.875% Notes due 2036 (the “2036 Sterling Notes” and together with the 2026 Euro Notes, the 2027 Euro Notes, the 2029 Euro Notes, the 2032 Euro Notes, the 2040 Euro Notes and the 2029 Sterling Notes, collectively, the “Notes”) is based on the senior indenture dated as of September 18, 2013 among Comcast as issuer (the “Issuer”), Comcast Cable Communications, LLC and NBCUniversal Media, LLC (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon (f/k/a The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of November 17, 2015 among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee (collectively with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Indenture. Interest Payments Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date to which interest was paid on the Notes (or February 20, 2020 if no interest has been paid in the case of the 2027 Euro Notes, the 2032 Euro Notes, the 2040 Euro Notes, the 2029 Sterling Notes or the 2036 Sterling Notes, or September 14, 2021 if no interest has been paid in the case of the 2026 Euro Notes or the 2029 Euro Notes), to but excluding the next scheduled interest payment date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. If any interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment will be made on the next business day with the same force and effect as if made on the relevant interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date, and no interest will accrue in respect of the delay. The term “business day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday (i) which is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or London are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) in the case of the 2026 Euro Notes, the 2027 Euro Notes, the 2029 Euro Notes, the 2032 Euro Notes and the 2040 Euro Notes (collectively, the “Euro Notes”), on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System (the TARGET2 system) or any successor thereto is open. Issuance in Euro; Issuance in GBP Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments in respect of the Euro Notes will be payable in euro. If euro is unavailable to the Issuer due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuer’s control, then all payments in respect of the Euro Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until euro is again available to the Issuer. The amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for euro. Any payment in respect of the Euro Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments in respect of the 2029 Sterling Notes and the 2036 Sterling Notes (together, the “Sterling Notes”) will be payable in GBP. If GBP is unavailable to the Issuer due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuer’s control, then all payments in respect of the Sterling Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until GBP is again available to the Issuer. The amount payable on any date in GBP will be converted into U.S. dollars at the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for GBP. Any payment in respect of the Sterling Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Indenture.

Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the paying agent will be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting currency conversions or otherwise handling re-denominations. “Market Exchange Rate” means the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of euro or GBP, as applicable, as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Guarantees The Issuer’s obligations, including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Guarantors as described in the accompanying prospectus.

The term “comparable government bond” means (i) with respect to the Euro Notes, in relation to any comparable government bond rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment banker selected by us, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the applicable series of Euro Notes to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that each series of Euro Notes matured on the related Par Call Date), or if such independent investment banker in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment banker may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/ or market makers in, German government bonds selected by us, determine to be appropriate for determining the comparable government bond rate and (ii) with respect to the Sterling Notes, in relation to any comparable government bond rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment banker selected by us, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the applicable series of Sterling Notes to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that each series of Sterling Notes matured on the related Par Call Date), or if such independent investment banker in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other United Kingdom government bond as such independent investment banker may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, United Kingdom government bonds selected by us, determine to be appropriate for determining the comparable government bond rate. The term “comparable government bond rate” means the yield to maturity, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, of the applicable comparable government bond on the basis of the middle market price of such comparable government bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment banker selected by us. The term “independent investment banker” means each of BNP Paribas, Citigroup Global Markets Limited and J.P. Morgan Securities plc (or their respective successors), with respect to the 2027 Euro Notes, the 2032 Euro Notes, the 2040 Euro Notes and the Sterling Notes, and Barclays Bank PLC and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (or their respective successors), with respect to the 2026 Euro Notes and the 2029 Euro Notes, or if each such firm is unwilling or unable to select the comparable government bond, an independent investment banking institution of international standing appointed by us. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption (unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest). On or before the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or the paying agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and (unless the redemption date shall be an interest payment date) accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Notes of any series are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lottery provided that notes represented by a Global Note will be selected for redemption by the applicable depositary in accordance with its standard procedures therefor). Additionally, the Issuer may at any time repurchase Notes in the open market and may hold or surrender such Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Notes are also subject to redemption prior to maturity if certain events occur involving United States taxation. If any of these special tax events occur, the Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. Payment of Additional Amounts The Issuer will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest in respect of the Notes such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Issuer or its paying agent of the principal of and interest in respect of the Notes to a beneficial owner 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 Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply: (1) to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed by reason of the holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder or beneficial owner if the holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership, corporation or other entity, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as: (a) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

or (e) being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, as described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code or any successor provision; (2) to any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment; (3) to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (4) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Issuer or an applicable withholding agent from the payment; (5) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (6) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge or excise tax imposed on the transfer of Notes; (7) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent; (8) to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (9) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner being a bank (i) purchasing the Notes in the ordinary course of its lending business or (ii) that is neither (A) buying the Notes for investment purposes only nor (B) buying the Notes for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding the Notes for investment purposes only; (10) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the 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 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 Code whether currently in effect or as published and amended from time to time; or (11) in the case of any combination of items (1) through (10) above. If the Issuer is required to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes, the Issuer will notify the Trustee and paying agent pursuant to an officer’s certificate that specifies the amount of such additional amounts payable and the time when such amounts are payable. If the Trustee and the paying agent do not receive such an officer’s certificate from us, the Trustee and paying agent may rely on the absence of such an officer’s certificate in assuming that no such additional amounts are payable. The Notes are also subject to redemption prior to maturity if certain events occur involving U.S. taxation. If any of these special tax events occur, the Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. See “—Redemption for Tax Reasons.” The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under this heading “—Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will not be required to make any payment for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision. As used under this heading “—Payment of Additional Amounts” and under the heading “—Redemption for Tax Reasons,” 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 or the District of Columbia, or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source. 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 amendment 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 this prospectus supplement, the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by us, will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described under the heading “—Payment of Additional Amounts” with respect to the Notes, then the Issuer may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 15 nor more than 30 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. No Mandatory Redemption or Sinking Fund There will be no mandatory redemption prior to maturity or sinking fund payments for the Notes. Additional Debt The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt the Issuer may issue under the Indenture or otherwise. Certain Covenants The Issuer and the Guarantors have agreed to some restrictions on their activities for the benefit of holders of all series of the Notes issued under the Indenture. The restrictive covenants summarized below will apply, unless the covenants are waived or amended, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding. The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants other than those summarized below and does not restrict the Issuer or the Issuer’s subsidiaries from paying dividends or incurring additional debt. In addition, the Indenture will not protect holders of Notes issued under it in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or a change in control. Limitation on Liens Securing Indebtedness With respect to the Notes of each series, each Obligor will covenant under the Indenture not to create or incur any Lien on any of its Properties, whether owned at the time the Indenture is executed or acquired afterward, in order to secure any of its Indebtedness, without effectively providing that the Notes of such series shall be equally and ratably secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Lien, except: (a) Liens existing as of the date of initial issuance of the Notes of such series; (b) Liens granted after the date of initial issuance of the Notes of such series, created in favor of the registered holders of the Notes of such series; (c) Liens securing such Obligor’s Indebtedness which are incurred to extend, renew or refinance Indebtedness which is secured by Liens permitted to be incurred under the lien restriction covenant of the Indenture, so long as such Liens are limited to all or part of substantially the same Property which secured the Liens extended, renewed or replaced and the amount of Indebtedness secured is not increased (other than by the amount equal to any costs and expenses (including any premiums, fees or penalties) incurred in connection with any extension, renewal or refinancing); and (d) Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding the restrictions above, any Obligor may, without securing the Notes of any series, create or incur Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth above, if after giving effect to those Liens, the Obligor’s Aggregate Debt together with the Aggregate Debt of each other Obligor does not exceed the greater of (i) 15% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Net Worth calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien and (ii) 15% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Net Worth calculated as of the date of initial issuance of the Notes of such series; provided that Liens created or incurred pursuant to the terms described in this paragraph may be extended, renewed or replaced so long as the amount of Indebtedness secured by such Liens is not increased (other than by the amount equal to any costs and expenses (including any premiums, fees or penalties) incurred in connection therewith) and such refinancing Indebtedness, if then outstanding, is included in subsequent calculations of Aggregate Debt of such Obligor. Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions With respect to the Notes of each series, each Obligor will covenant under the Indenture not to enter into any sale and lease-back transaction for the sale and leasing back of any Property, whether owned at the time the Indenture is executed or acquired afterward, unless: • such transaction was entered into prior to the date of the initial issuance of the Notes of such series; • • • • such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to such Obligor of any Property by one of its Subsidiaries; such transaction involves a lease for less than three years; such Obligor would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a mortgage on the Property to be leased in an amount equal to the Attributable Liens with respect to such sale and lease-back transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes of such series pursuant to the first paragraph of “—Limitation on Liens Securing Indebtedness” above; or such Obligor applies an amount equal to the fair value of the Property sold to the purchase of Property or to the retirement of its long-term Indebtedness within 365 days of the effective date of any such sale and lease-back transaction. In lieu of applying such amount to such retirement, such Obligor may deliver the Notes to the Trustee therefor for cancellation, such Notes to be credited at the cost thereof to the Obligor. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph (including the bulleted list), any Obligor may enter into any sale and lease-back transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions with respect to the Notes of any series if after giving effect thereto and at the time of determination, its Aggregate Debt together with the Aggregate Debt of all other Obligors does not exceed the greater of (i) 15% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Net Worth calculated as of the closing date of the sale and lease- back transaction and (ii) 15% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Net Worth calculated as of the date of initial issuance of the Notes of such series. “Aggregate Debt” means, with respect to an Obligor, the sum of the following as of the date of determination: (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Obligor’s Indebtedness incurred after the date of initial issuance of the Notes and secured by Liens not permitted by the first paragraph (including the bulleted list) under “—Limitation on Liens Securing Indebtedness” above;

The restrictions in the third bullet above shall not be applicable to: the merger or consolidation of the Issuer with an affiliate if the Issuer’s board of directors, determines in good faith that the purpose of such transaction is principally to change the Issuer’s state of incorporation or convert the Issuer’s form of organization to another form; or the merger of the Issuer with or into a single direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to Section 1924(b)(4) (or any successor provision) of the Business Corporation Law of the State of Pennsylvania or Section 251(g) (or any successor provision) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or similar provision of the Issuer’s state of incorporation). If any consolidation or merger or any sale, assignment, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets occurs in accordance with the Indenture, the successor person will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of ours under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor person had been named in the Issuer’s place in the Indenture. The Issuer will (except in the case of a lease) be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and any debt securities issued thereunder (including the Notes). Existence. Except as permitted under “—Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets,” the Indenture requires the Issuer to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the Issuer’s existence, rights and franchises; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Issuer determines that its preservation is no longer desirable in the conduct of business. Information. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee any document or report the Issuer is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 days after such document or report is filed with the SEC; provided that in each case the delivery of materials to the Trustee by electronic means or filing documents pursuant to the SEC’s “EDGAR” system (or any successor electronic filing system) shall be deemed to constitute “filing” with the Trustee for purposes of this covenant. Delivery of the reports, information and documents required by this section to be delivered to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein. Modification and Waiver The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or modify the Indenture or the Notes of any series without notice to or the consent of any holder in order to: • cure any ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies in the Indenture in a manner that does not adversely affect the interests of the holders in any material respect; • make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of the Notes; • • • • • • • • provide for or add guarantors with respect to the Notes; secure the Notes of any series; establish the form or terms of Notes of any series; provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee; provide for the assumption by the Issuer’s successor, if any, to the Issuer’s or their obligations to holders of any outstanding Notes in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; conform any provision in the Indenture or the terms of the securities of any series to the prospectus, offering memorandum, offering circular or any other document pursuant to which the securities of such series were offered; or • make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder in any material respect. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes of any series may be made with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all series and the debt securities of all other series outstanding under the Indenture that are affected by the amendment or modification (voting together as a single class), and the Issuer’s compliance with any provision of the Indenture with respect to the debt securities of any series issued under the Indenture (including the Notes) may be waived by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series outstanding under the Indenture that are affected by the waiver (voting together as a single class). However, no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of such affected senior debt security: • • • • • reduce the principal amount, or extend the fixed maturity, of the Notes of such series or alter or waive the redemption provisions of the Notes of such series; impair the right of any holder of the Notes of such series to receive payment of principal or interest on the Notes of such series on and after the due dates for such principal or interest; change the currency in which principal, any premium or interest is paid; reduce the percentage in principal amount outstanding of Notes of such series which must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver or consent to take any action; impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the Notes of such series; • waive a payment default with respect to the Notes of such series; • • reduce the interest rate or extend the time for payment of interest on the Notes of such series; or adversely affect the ranking of the Notes of such series. An amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver which changes, eliminates or waives any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of the Notes, or which modifies the rights of the holders of the Notes of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the holders of debt securities of any other series. Events of Default Each of the following will constitute an event of default in the Indenture with respect to the Notes of any series: (a) default in paying interest on the Notes of such series when it becomes due and the default continues for a period of 30 days or more; (e) default in paying principal on the Notes of such series when due; (f) default by any Obligor in the performance, or breach, of any covenant in the Indenture (other than defaults specified in clause (a) or (b) above) and the default or breach continues for a period of 90 days or more after the Issuer receives written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receive notice from the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the Indenture (voting together as a single class); (g) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, administration or similar proceedings with respect to the Issuer or any Obligor have occurred; or (h) any Guarantee shall not be (or shall be claimed by the relevant Guarantor not to be) in full force and effect. If an event of default (other than an event of default specified in clause (d) above) under the Indenture occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the Indenture (voting together as a single class), will by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, together with all accrued and unpaid interest. If an event of default under the Indenture specified in clause (d) occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder. After a declaration of acceleration or any automatic acceleration under clause (d) described above, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of any series (each such series voting as a separate class) may rescind this accelerated payment requirement with respect to the Notes of such series if all existing events of default with respect to the Notes of such series, except for nonpayment of the principal and interest on the Notes of such series that have become due solely as a result of the accelerated payment requirement, have been cured or waived and if the rescission of acceleration would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel have been paid. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the Indenture (voting together as a single class) may, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, also waive past defaults, except a default in paying principal or interest on any outstanding senior debt security of such series, or in respect of a covenant or a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all affected holders of the Notes of such series. The holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the Indenture (voting together as a single class) may seek to institute a proceeding only after they have made written request, and offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the Trustee to institute a proceeding and the Trustee has failed to do so within 60 days after it received this request and offer of indemnity. In addition, within this 60-day period the Trustee must not have received directions inconsistent with this written request by holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series then outstanding. These limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of the Notes of any affected series for the enforcement of the payment of principal or interest on or after the due dates for such payment. During the existence of an event of default of which a responsible officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or has received written notice from the Issuer or any holder of the Notes, the Trustee is required to exercise the rights and powers vested in it under the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would under the circumstances in the conduct of that person’s own affairs. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee is not under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers at the request or direction of any of the holders unless the holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Subject to certain provisions, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the Indenture (voting together as a single class) have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust, or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee will, within 90 days after any default occurs with respect to the Notes of any series, give notice of the default to the holders of the Notes of such series, unless the default was already cured or waived. Unless there is a default in paying principal or interest when due, the Trustee can withhold giving notice to the holders if it determines in good faith that the withholding of notice is in the interest of the holders. The Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an annual statement as to compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture within 120 days of the end of each fiscal year. Exhibit 10.3 AMENDMENT NO. 2 dated as of December 9, 2022 (this “Amendment”) among Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), the Lenders (as defined below) party hereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

Reference to and Effect on the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (a) On and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Existing Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. The Existing Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. (b) Other than as specifically provided herein or in the Credit Agreement, this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver or amendment of any right, power or privilege of the Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or of any other term or condition of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document nor shall the entering into of this Amendment preclude the Lenders from refusing to enter into any further waivers or amendments with respect to the Existing Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. This Amendment shall be a Loan Document for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. SECTION 4. Acknowledgments. The Company hereby acknowledges that it has read this Amendment and consents to its terms, and further hereby affirms, confirms, represents, warrants and agrees that notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment, the obligations of the Company under each of the Loan Documents shall not be impaired and each of the Loan Documents is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy, emailed pdf. or electronic mail that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith 2 negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. SECTION 8. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02(a) of the Credit Agreement.

The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollarsdollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1- week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the 35 overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, a Term ESTR Transition Event, a Term TONA Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 3.03(b) and (c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 3.03(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Floating Rate Loans is based. However, theThe Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or “EURIBOR Rate”, or “TIBOR Rate”, as applicable)any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.03(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, a Term ESTR Transition Event, a Term TONA Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.03(d)),, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate (or the EURIBOR Rate, or the TIBOR Rate, as applicable)existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate, as applicable)any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) at no time may the combined Revolving Commitments exceed $14,000,000,000, (ii) Revolving Commitments may not be made or increased after the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, including after giving effect to the incremental Revolving Commitments in question, and (iii) any increase effected pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) shall be in a minimum amount of at least $25,000,000. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this Section 2.01(b) unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. (g) Any additional bank or financial institution (each, a “New Lender”) that, in the case of an institution that is not an Affiliate of a then-existing Lender, with the consent of Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with an increase described in Section 2.01(b) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1, whereupon such bank or financial institution shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. (h) On each Increased Revolving Commitment Closing Date on which there are Revolving Loans outstanding, each Lender (including any New Lender) that has made or increased its Revolving Commitment shall make a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans of other Lenders, so that, after giving effect thereto, the resulting Revolving Loans outstanding are allocated among the Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the respective Revolving Percentages of the Lenders after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.01(b) on such Increased Revolving Commitment Closing Date. (i) Borrower shall repay (i) all outstanding Revolving Loans made to it and all amounts funded by the Lenders as cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.03(d) on the Revolving Termination Date, the Extended Revolving Termination Date or the Second Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable, and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan made to it on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan. Borrower may request that the Revolving Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments be extended for additional one-year periods by providing written notice to Administrative Agent (“Notice Date”) not more than two times prior to the Revolving Termination Date or the Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable. If a Lender or a New Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to extend its Revolving Commitments and/or Letter of Credit Commitments (such Lender or New Lender, an “Extending Lender” or “New Extending Lender”, as the case may be), it will notify Administrative Agent in writing of its decision to do so and the maximum amount of Revolving Commitments and, if applicable, Letter of Credit Commitments it agrees to so extend no later than 30 days after the applicable Notice Date, which notice shall be irrevocable. Administrative Agent will notify Borrower, in writing, of the Lenders’ decisions no later than 35 days after the applicable Notice Date (“Extension Effectiveness Date”). As of the Extension Effectiveness Date, the Extending Lenders’ and the New Extending Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments will be extended for an additional year from the Revolving Termination Date (the “Extended Revolving Termination Date”) or the Extended Revolving Termination Date (the “Second Extended Revolving Termination Date”), as applicable; provided that (i) more than 50% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments outstanding on the applicable Extension Effectiveness Date are extended or otherwise committed to by Extending Lenders and any New Extending Lenders (ii) 37 no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Effectiveness Date after giving effect to the requested extension and (iii) the remaining tenor of Revolving Commitments of any Extending Lender and any New Extending Lender shall not exceed five years from the applicable Extension Effectiveness Date after giving effect to the requested extension. No Lender shall be required to consent to any such extension request, and any Lender that declines or does not respond in writing to Borrower’s request for commitment renewal (a “Declining Lender”) will have its Revolving Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitment terminated on the then- existing Revolving Termination Date or Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable (without regard to any renewals by other Lenders). Borrower will have the right to remove or replace any Declining Lenders in accordance with Section 10.21. 2.02 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowings. (j) Borrower may irrevocably request a Borrowing of Revolving Loans on any Business Day in a Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a Request for Extension of Credit therefor by Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor. All Borrowings denominated in Dollars shall constitute Base Rate Loans unless properly and timely otherwise designated as set forth in the prior sentence. All Borrowings denominated in any Alternative Currency shall constitute Floating Rate Loans. Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04. (k) Following receipt of a Request for Extension of Credit, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by Requisite Notice of its Revolving Percentage thereof. Each Lender (subject to clause (d) below) shall make the funds for its Revolving Loan available to Administrative Agent in the requested currency at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time therefor on the Business Day specified in such Request for Extension of Credit. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, all funds so received shall be made available to Borrower in like funds received. (l) The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation to make a Revolving Loan on such date, but the Revolving Commitments and Competitive Bids of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Revolving Loan. Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender which fails to make a Revolving Loan when obligated to do so in accordance with Section 10.21. (m) Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not be required to pay a greater amount under the increased costs provisions (including yield protection and taxes) of Section 3 hereof than it would have paid in the absence of the exercise of such option. 2.03 Letters of Credit. (n) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but not including the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, each Issuing Lender shall take such Letter of Credit Actions denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency as Borrower may from time to time request; provided, however, that (i) the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of each Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at any time, (ii) the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Competitive Loans shall not exceed the combined Revolving Commitments at any time, (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at any time and (iv) the Letter of Credit Usage in respect of Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Lender shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment of such Issuing Lender at any time. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the Effective Date for the account of Borrower, and the participations therein created pursuant to the Existing Comcast Credit Agreement shall be superseded by 38 participations created by Section 2.03(b) hereof. Subject to subsection (f) below and unless consented to by the applicable Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent, and except for any Existing Letter of Credit which expires more than 12 months after the date of its issuance or last renewal, no Letter of Credit may expire more than 12 months after the date of its issuance or last renewal; provided, however, that (x) subject to clause (y), no Letter of Credit shall expire after the Business Day which is at least five days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) and (y) a Letter of Credit may expire up to the date that is one year after the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) with the consent of the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) so long as Borrower shall, at least 15 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) (or for any Letters of Credit issued after such date, the date of issuance) deposit cash in the Dollar Amount equal to the Letter of Credit Usage applicable to it in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account. In the event that any Lender’s Commitment terminates prior to an extended Revolving Termination Date as contemplated by Section 2.01(e), the respective participations of the other Lenders in all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be redetermined on the basis of their respective Commitments after giving effect to such termination, and the participation therein of the Lender whose Commitment is terminated shall terminate; provided that Borrower shall, if and to the extent necessary to permit such redetermination of participations in Letters of Credit within the limits of the Commitments which are not terminated, prepay on such date all or a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans, and such redetermination and termination of participations in outstanding Letters of Credit shall be conditioned upon their having done so. If any Letter of Credit Usage remains or is expected to remain outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended), Borrower shall, at least 15 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended), deposit cash in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Usage applicable to it in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account. (o) Borrower may irrevocably request a Letter of Credit Action in a Minimum Amount therefor (or, if such Letter of Credit Action is in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, a Dollar Amount which is in a Minimum Amount therefor) by delivering a Letter of Credit Application therefor to the applicable Issuing Lender, with a copy to Administrative Agent, not later than the Requisite Time therefor. Each Letter of Credit Action shall be in a form acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender in its sole discretion. Each such request for a Letter of Credit Action shall, if Sections 4.02(a) and (b) are applicable to such Letter of Credit Action, constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) are satisfied. Unless Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Issuing Lender that such Letter of Credit Action is not permitted hereunder, or the applicable Issuing Lender notifies Administrative Agent that it has determined that such Letter of Credit Action is contrary to any Laws or policies of such Issuing Lender, the applicable Issuing Lender shall effect such Letter of Credit Action. This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any Letter of Credit Application. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit, on the Effective Date), each applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from each applicable Issuing Lender, a participation therein in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the Dollar Amount of such Letter of Credit. Each applicable Issuing Lender represents and warrants to each Lender that it has all necessary power and authority to sell and transfer such participation to each Lender, without breach of any Contractual Obligation to any other Person, and that such participation is free and clear of any adverse claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. as an Issuing Lender, shall only be obligated to issue standby Letters of Credit, and shall only be obligated to do so upon at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period of time as Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. shall approve in its sole discretion). (p) Borrower shall reimburse each Issuing Lender through Administrative Agent for any payment that such Issuing Lender makes under a Letter of Credit within one Business Day following demand by Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender in Dollars or in the applicable Alternative Currency in which such payment was made; provided, however, that if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 can be satisfied (except for the giving of a Request for Extension of Credit), Borrower may request a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the Dollar Amount necessary to reimburse such Issuing Lender for such payment pursuant to Section 2.02 (without regard to the Minimum Amount requirements thereof). If Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative 39 Currency would subject Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, Borrower shall pay the amount of any such tax requested by Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or Lender. If Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, automatically and with no further action required, Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable payment by the applicable Issuing Lender shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Amount of such payment. (q) Upon any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify Administrative Agent and Borrower. If Borrower fails to timely make the payment required pursuant to subsection (c) above or to provide cash collateral as required in subsection (a) above, such Issuing Lender shall notify Administrative Agent of such fact and the Dollar Amount of such unreimbursed payment or required cash collateral, as applicable. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its Revolving Percentage of such Dollar Amount by Requisite Notice. Each Lender shall make funds in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of such Dollar Amount available to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time therefor on the Business Day specified by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to such Issuing Lender in the case of reimbursement of a Letter of Credit drawing or to Administrative Agent for deposit in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account, as applicable. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse such Issuing Lender and fund such Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or any other occurrence or event; provided that such Issuing Lender shall not have a right to be so reimbursed in respect of a Letter of Credit if such Issuing Lender issued such Letter of Credit after being notified by Administrative Agent that such issuance was not permitted hereunder. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse each Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein, or to provide cash collateral. (r) If the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 can be satisfied (except for the giving of a Request for Extension of Credit) on any date Borrower is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse an Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit or to provide cash collateral as required in subsection (a) above, the funding by Lenders pursuant to subsection (d) above shall be deemed to be a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (without regard to the Minimum Amount therefor). If the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 (except for the giving of a Request for Extension of Credit) cannot be satisfied on the date Borrower is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse an Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit or to provide cash collateral in respect of a Letter of Credit, the funding by Lenders pursuant to the previous subsection shall be deemed to be a funding by each Lender of its participation in such Letter of Credit, and each Lender making such funding shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of its payment, in the claim of such Issuing Lender against Borrower in respect of such payment or obligation to provide cash collateral and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim. Any amounts made available by a Lender under its participation shall be payable by Borrower upon demand of Administrative Agent (or, if earlier, on the Revolving Termination Date, the Extended Revolving Termination Date or the Second Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable), and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. (s) Borrower may request Letters of Credit that have automatic extension or renewal provisions (“evergreen” Letters of Credit), so long as the applicable Issuing Lender consents thereto and has the right not to permit any such extension or renewal at least annually within a notice period to be agreed upon at the time each such Letter of Credit is issued. Once an evergreen Letter of Credit (including any Existing Letter of Credit) is issued, unless Administrative Agent has notified the applicable Issuing Lender that Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or renewal, Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such evergreen Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) or such later 40 date as may be permitted pursuant to clause (y) of the second proviso of Section 2.03(a). Such Issuing Lender may elect not to permit an evergreen Letter of Credit to be extended or renewed at any time. If such Issuing Lender so elects, it will promptly give Administrative Agent notice of such election. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Lenders of the non-extension or non-renewal of any evergreen Letter of Credit. The obligation of Borrower to pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower’s obligations shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances: (t) (i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) Any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating hereto or thereto; (iii) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other rights which Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions; (iv) Any demand, statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever so long as any such document appeared to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) Any payment by such Issuing Lender in good faith under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or any accompanying document which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in- possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidation, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws; (vi) Any error in the transmission of any message relating to such Letter of Credit not caused by such Issuing Lender, or any delay or interruption in any such message; (vii) Any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of such Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit; (viii) Any consequence arising from acts of God, wars, insurrections, civil unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender; (ix) So long as such Issuing Lender in good faith determines that the document appears to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in any document submitted to such Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit; and 41 (x) Any other circumstances whatsoever where such Issuing Lender has acted in good faith. In addition, Borrower will promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and amendments thereto delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify the applicable Issuing Lender in writing. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. (u) Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. No Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent-Related Person or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct or the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee relative to any Issuing Lender, any Lender or any Administrative Agent- Related Person with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent-Related Person or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in subsection (g) above in the absence of such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. (v) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable Laws, performance under Letters of Credit by each Issuing Lender, its correspondents, and beneficiaries will be governed by, as applicable, the rules of the International Standby Practices 1998, or such later revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, or the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, as the same may be revised from time to time. (w) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on each Applicable Payment Date in arrears, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee in Dollars at a rate equal to the Applicable Amount times the actual daily maximum Dollar Amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit requested by Borrower since the later of the Effective Date and the previous Applicable Payment Date. Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Lender of an Existing Letter of Credit any fees and expenses payable in respect of such Existing Letter of Credit for any period prior to the Effective Date. If there is any change in the Applicable Amount during any quarter, the actual daily Dollar Amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Amount separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Amount was in effect. (x) Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Lender, for its sole account, a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit requested by Borrower in such amount and at such times as may be set forth in a separate letter agreement between Borrower and such Issuing Lender. In addition, Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Lender, upon demand, for its sole account, its customary documentary and processing charges in accordance with its standard schedule, as from time to time in effect, for any 42 Letter of Credit Action or other occurrence relating to a Letter of Credit requested by Borrower for which such charges are customarily made. Such fees and charges are nonrefundable. (y) Each Issuing Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent, not later than the 20th day after each calendar quarter ending after the Effective Date, a written report, in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, setting forth the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and outstanding as of the last day of such calendar quarter, any Letter of Credit Actions effected during such calendar quarter, and any draws made under such Letters of Credit during such calendar quarter. (z) Each Issuing Lender may, at its option, issue any Letter of Credit and make any funds available in connection with any Letter of Credit by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Issuing Lender to take such action; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect any obligation of Borrower; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not be required to pay a greater amount under the increased costs provisions (including yield protection and taxes) of Section 3 hereof than it would have paid in the absence of the exercise of such option. 2.04 Competitive Bid Procedure. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but not including, the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended), Borrower may request Competitive Bids and may (but shall not have any obligation to) accept Competitive Bids and borrow Competitive Loans; provided that Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time shall not exceed the combined Revolving Commitments. To request Competitive Bids, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of such request by telephone not later than the Requisite Time therefor; provided that Borrower may submit up to (but not more than) two Competitive Bid Requests on the same day, but no Competitive Bid Request or Requests shall be made within five Business Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid Request or Requests, unless any and all such previous Competitive Bid Requests shall have been withdrawn or all Competitive Bids received in response thereto rejected. Each such telephonic Competitive Bid Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to Administrative Agent of a written Competitive Bid Request in a form approved by Administrative Agent and signed by Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Competitive Bid Request shall specify the following information: (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall be at least the Minimum Amount therefor); (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Floating Rate Loans (other than Floating SONIA Rate Loans) or, of Fixed Rate Loans (it being understood and agreed that each Borrowing of Competitive Loans shall be comprised entirely of Floating Rate Loans (other than Floating SONIA Rate Loans) or Fixed Rate Loans) or of RFR Loans (if applicable pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or Section 3.03(g)); and (iv) the Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. Promptly following receipt of a Competitive Bid Request in accordance with this Section, Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the details thereof by telecopy, inviting the Lenders to submit Competitive Bids. (aa) Each Lender may (but shall not have any obligation to) make one or more Competitive Bids to Borrower in response to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be in a form approved by Administrative Agent and must be received by Administrative Agent by telecopy, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing of Floating Rate Loans (other than Floating Rate Loans denominated in Dollars), not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing of 43 Floating Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing of RFR Loans (if applicable pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or Section 3.03(g)), not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing and in the case of a Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the form approved by Administrative Agent may be rejected by Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender as promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (i) the principal amount (which shall be a minimum of $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing requested by Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the Lender is willing to make, (ii) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places) and (iii) the Interest Period applicable to each such Loan and the last day thereof. amount specified in each Competitive Bid and the identity of the Lender that shall have made such Competitive Bid. (ab) Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower by telecopy of the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal (ac) Subject only to the provisions of this paragraph, Borrower may accept or reject any Competitive Bid. Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in a form approved by Administrative Agent, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or reject each Competitive Bid, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing of Floating Rate Loans (other than Floating Rate Loans denominated in Dollars), not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing of Floating Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing of RFR Loans (if applicable pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or Section 3.03(g)), not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing and in the case of a Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of the Competitive Borrowing; provided that (i) the failure of Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if Borrower rejects a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate with respect to the same Competitive Bid Request, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Borrowing specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with clause (iii) above, Borrower may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid, and (v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided further that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000 because of the provisions of clause (iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner determined by Borrower. A notice given by Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted. (ad) 44 If Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to Borrower at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. (ae) 2.05 Reduction or Termination of Revolving Commitments. Upon Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor, Borrower may at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, permanently and irrevocably reduce the Revolving Commitments, in a Minimum Amount therefor to an amount not less than the sum of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations at such time plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time, or terminate the Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid commitment fees with respect to the portion of the Revolving Commitments being reduced or terminated. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of any such request for reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be reduced pro rata by the amount of such reduction. 2.06 Prepayments. (af) Upon Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor, Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans made to it in part in the Minimum Amount therefor or in full without premium or penalty; provided that Borrower may not prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior written consent of the Lender thereof. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof and of such Lender’s percentage of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Floating Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with (other than in the case of Floating SONIA Rate Loans) the costs set forth in Section 3.05. (ag) If for any reason (other than as a result of currency fluctuation, which prepayment requirement shall be governed by Section 2.15) the Dollar Amount of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time exceeds the combined Revolving Commitments from time to time in effect, Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or deposit cash in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 2.07 Documentation of Loans. (ah) Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, a Lender’s Loans may be evidenced by one or more Notes of Borrower, instead of or in addition to its loan accounts or records. Each such Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. (ai) Administrative Agent shall maintain, at Administrative Agent’s Office, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Extensions of Credit of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register, acting, solely for this administrative purpose only, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower (it being acknowledged and agreed that Administrative Agent and each Administrative Agent-Related Person, in such capacity, shall constitute Indemnitees under Section 10.13). Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Revolving Commitment and Extensions of Credit from time to time of each Lender, and each repayment or prepayment in respect thereof. Any recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, (aj) 45 shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Outstanding Revolving Obligations or outstanding Competitive Loans. (ak) Each Lender shall record on its internal loan accounts or records (and may record on the Note(s) held by such Lender) the amount of each Extension of Credit made by it and each payment in respect thereof; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Outstanding Revolving Obligations or outstanding Competitive Loans; and provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern, absent manifest error. (al) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders of the corresponding Revolving Commitments and Extensions of Credit listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Revolving Commitment or Extensions of Credit shall be effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment and Assumption effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Revolving Commitment or Outstanding Revolving Obligations or outstanding Competitive Loans shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Revolving Commitments or Outstanding Revolving Obligations or outstanding Competitive Loans. 2.08 Continuation and Conversion Option. (am) Subject to Section 2.08(d), Borrower may irrevocably request a Conversion or Continuation of Loans on any Business Day in a Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a Request for Extension of Credit therefor by Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor. All Conversions and Continuations of Loans denominated in Dollars shall constitute Base Rate Loans unless properly and timely otherwise designated as set forth in the prior sentence. (an) Unless Borrower pays all amounts due under Section 3.05, if any, a Floating Rate Loan (other than a Floating SONIA Rate Loan) may be Continued or Converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Floating Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall) prohibit Loans (other than Floating SONIA Rate Loans) from being requested as, Converted into, or Continued as Floating Rate Loans, and Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Floating Rate Loans (other than Floating SONIA Rate Loans) be Converted immediately into Base Rate Loans. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Floating Rate Loan upon determination of the same. Administrative Agent shall from time to time notify Borrower and Lenders of any change in JPMorgan Chase’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. (ao) (ap) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Competitive Loans may not be Converted or Continued. 2.09 Interest. (aq) Subject to subsection (b) below, and unless otherwise specified herein, Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to it (before and after default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws) from the date borrowed until paid in full (whether by acceleration or otherwise) on each Applicable Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to: 46 (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Amount for such Type of Loan; (ii) in the case of Floating Rate Loans (other than Floating SONIA Rate Loans and Competitive Loans) at the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted TIBOR Rate or the CDOR Screen Rate, as applicable, for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Amount for such Type of Loan; such Type of Loan; (iii) in the case of Floating SONIA Rate Loans, the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA Rate plus the Applicable Amount for Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as the case may be) Margin applicable to such Loan; and (iv) in the case of Competitive Loans that are Floating Rate Loans (other than Floating SONIA Rate Loans), the Floating (v) in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan.; (vi) in the case of RFR Loans (if applicable pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or Section 3.03(g)), the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Amount for such Type of Loan. (ar) If any amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), Borrower hereby promises to pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on such amount at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be payable upon demand. On any Business Day, Borrower may call Administrative Agent and request information as to the then current Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, Adjusted TIBOR Rate, CDOR Screen Rate or Base Rate, and Administrative Agent shall provide such information. (as) 2.10 Fees. (at) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender pro rata according to its Revolving Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Amount times the average daily amount of the excess, if any, of its Revolving Commitment over its Outstanding Revolving Obligations (it being understood, for avoidance of doubt, that for purposes of the calculation of the commitment fee, Competitive Loans shall not be deemed to be a utilization of the Revolving Facility). The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the Effective Date until the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Applicable Payment Date. If there is any change in the Applicable Amount during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Amount separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Amount was in effect. The commitment fee shall accrue at all applicable times, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Section 4 are not met. Other Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto (and their respective Affiliates) the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by Borrower and such parties (or their respective Affiliates). (au) 2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the SONIA Rate, the TIBOR Rate or the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Computation of all other types of interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days or, in the case of any 47 amount denominated in Sterling or Canadian Dollars, 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. 2.12 Making Payments. (av) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments by Borrower or any Lender hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time for such type of payment. All payments received after such Requisite Time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of the calculation of interest and fees, but not for purposes of determining whether a Default has occurred. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars. All payments by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. (aw) Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly make any amounts received in accordance with Section 2.12(a) available in like funds received as follows: (i) if payable to Borrower, by crediting a deposit account designated from time to time by Borrower to Administrative Agent by Requisite Notice, and (ii) if payable to any Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender at its Lending Office. If such conditions are not so satisfied, Administrative Agent shall return any funds it is holding to the Lenders making such funds available, without interest. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees. (ax) (ay) Unless Borrower or any Lender has notified Administrative Agent, prior to the Requisite Time any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assume that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely remitted such payment and may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in reliance thereon, make such payment available to the Person entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact remitted to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then: (i) If Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate; and (ii) If any Lender failed to make such payment, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, (A) from such Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate, and (B) from Borrower, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Commitment or to prejudice any rights which Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 48 (az) If Administrative Agent or any Lender is required at any time to return to Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or any official under any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws, any portion of a payment made by Borrower, each Lender shall, on demand of Administrative Agent, return its share of the amount to be returned, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. 2.13 Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 2.14 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender; (ba) Fees set forth in Section 2.10(a) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitments of such (bb) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Aggregate Exposure of such Defaulting Lender in respect of its Revolving Commitment were zero; (bc) The Aggregate Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification pursuant to Section 10.01), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and in any event, no such amendment, modification, or waiver shall increase the Revolving Commitments or reduce the principal amount of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender, extend the maturity date applicable thereto or decrease the rate of interest (including any commitment fees) payable in respect thereof without the consent of such Defaulting Lender; (bd) If any Letter of Credit Usage exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (i) all or any part of such Letter of Credit Usage shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but, in any case, only to the extent the sum of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders plus such Defaulting Lender’s ratable participation in all Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the total of the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders; (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by Administrative Agent, either (x) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s participation in all Letter of Credit Usage (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account for so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding or (y) backstop such Letter of Credit Usage with a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender; (iii) if Borrower cash collateralizes or backstops any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to this subsection (d), Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(j) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage is cash collateralized or backstopped; 49 (iv) if the Letter of Credit Usage attributable to the Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this subsection (d), then the fees payable to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(j) and Section 2.10(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with the non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Revolving Percentages to account for such reallocation; and (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s participation in all Letter of Credit Usage is neither cash collateralized, backstopped nor reallocated pursuant to this subsection (d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuing Lenders or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.03(j) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s remaining participation in all Letter of Credit Usage shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lenders until such participation in all Letter of Credit Usage is backstopped, cash collateralized and/or reallocated (be) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral or backstop letters of credit will be provided by Borrower in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders in a manner consistent with subsection (d)(i) of this Section (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). (bf) In the event that each of Administrative Agent, Borrower and Issuing Lenders agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Letter of Credit Usage of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such formerly Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such formerly Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such formerly Defaulting Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage. 2.15 Currency Equivalents. (bg) Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of (i) the Letter of Credit Usage in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency based on the Exchange Rate (A) on or about the date of the related notice requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) at such other times as Administrative Agent may elect in its discretion (but in no case more frequently than monthly), (ii) the Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency based on the Exchange Rate (A) on or about the date of the related notice requesting any Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion and (B) at such other times as Administrative Agent may elect in its discretion (but in no case more frequently than monthly) and (iii) any other amount to be converted into Dollars in accordance with the provisions hereof at the time of such conversion. (bh) If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Borrower shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice thereof from Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, deposit cash collateral in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to such excess. If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the Dollar Amount of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time exceeds the combined Revolving Commitments from time to time in effect by more than 105%, Borrower shall, immediately upon receipt of notice thereof from Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, prepay Revolving Loans and/or deposit cash in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account in an aggregate amount equal to such excess in accordance with Section 2.06(b). 50 SECTION 3 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 3.01 Taxes. (bi) To the extent permitted by Law, any and all payments by or on account of Borrower to or for the account of any Lender Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any and all present or future income, stamp or other taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed and all interest, additions to tax, or penalties with respect thereto, excluding, (w) in the case of a Lender Party, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, branch profits taxes, and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on it, (I) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Lender Party is organized or maintains a Lending Office, or (II) by reason of any present or former connection between such Lender Party and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes, other than solely as a result of this Agreement or any Note or any transaction contemplated thereby, (x) with respect to each Lender Party, taxes imposed by reason of any present or former connection between such Lender Party and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes, other than solely as a result of this Agreement or any Note or any transaction contemplated hereby, (y) in the case of a Lender Party organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by Borrower under Section 3.06(b)), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Lender Party at the time such Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such Lender Party’s failure to comply with Section 10.20, except to the extent that such Lender Party (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section and (z) withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA (all non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender Party, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower or Administrative Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) Borrower or Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws and (iv) with respect to all withholding taxes, within 30 days after the date of such payment by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent (who shall forward the same to such Lender Party) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. (bj) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any and all present or future stamp, court, documentary, intangible, recording, filing or other similar taxes, charges or levies which arise from any payment made by it under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document except any such taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment by the Lender (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). (bk) Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender Party for the full amount of Non- Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Lender Party with respect to any Loan or Loan Document and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify such Recipient pursuant to this Section 3.01 in respect of interest, penalties and other liabilities attributable to any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, if such interest, penalties and other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender Party. After a Lender Party learns of the 51 imposition of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, such Lender will act in good faith to promptly notify the Borrower of its obligations hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.01, all obligations of Borrower to any Lender under such Section 3.01 shall be subject to, and conditioned upon such Lender’s compliance with its obligations, if any, under Section 10.20. (bl) (bm) If any Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund from a relevant taxing or governmental authority in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that in the event such Lender Party is required to repay any or all of such refund to such Governmental Authority (a “Refund Repayment Requirement”), Borrower, upon the request of such Lender Party, agrees to repay to such Lender Party the full amount of such Refund Repayment Requirement (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority). This subsection shall not be construed to require any Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Laws have made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Floating Rate Loans, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable offshore interbank market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the applicable Floating Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make Floating Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or Convert all Floating Rate Loans of such Lender, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if (a) such Loans are not Floating SONIA Rate Loans and (b) such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Floating Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if (i) such Loans are Floating SONIA Rate Loans or (ii) such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Floating Rate Loans. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest . (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 3.03, if: (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBORTerm SOFR Rate Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing, TIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, the LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted TIBOR Rate, the TIBOR Rate or the CDOR Screen Rate, as applicable (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period, or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Daily Simple SONIA with respect to any Borrowing denominated in Sterling; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or 52 (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Floating Rate Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBORTerm SOFR Rate Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, that the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, the LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted TIBOR Rate, the TIBOR Rate or the CDOR Screen Rate, as applicable, for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA with respect to any Borrowing denominated in Sterling will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining the Loans included in such Borrowing; then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Conversion or Continuation of Loans that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Floating Rate Borrowing that is affected by the foregoing circumstances shall be ineffective, (B) if any Request for Extension of Credit requests a Floating Rate Borrowing that is affected by the foregoing circumstances in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for RFR Borrowings is not also the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a Base Rate Borrowing, if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for RFR Borrowings is the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i) or (ii) above, (C) if any Request for Extension of Credit requests a Floating Rate Borrowing that is affected by the foregoing circumstances in Canadian Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, (D) if any Request for Extension of Credit requests a Floating Rate Borrowing in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars or Sterling) that is affected by the foregoing circumstances, then such request shall bear interest by reference to an acceptable alternative rate mutually established by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders (for so long as no such alternative rate is established, or if no such alternative rate can be established, such request shall be ineffective), (E) any request by the Borrower for a Floating Rate Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective, (F) if any Request for Extension of Credit requests a Floating Rate Borrowing that is affected by the foregoing circumstances in Sterling, such request shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for Floating Rate Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby; provided, further, however, that, in each case, Borrower may revoke any Request for Extension of Credit that is pending when any such notice is received.

In determining the amount of such compensation, Administrative Agent or any Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Upon any Lender becoming prohibited from making, maintaining or funding Floating Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.02, or upon any Lender making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, Borrower may remove or replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.21.

Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and Issuing Lender in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way 71 relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 9.10 Co-Documentation Agents and Syndication Agent.

No such assignment shall become effective unless and until a copy of a duly signed and completed Assignment and Assumption shall be delivered to Administrative Agent. Except in the case of an assignment (A) to another Lender or (B) of the entire remaining Revolving Commitment of the assigning Lender, such assignment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than the Minimum Amount therefor without the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent. The effective date of any assignment shall be as specified in the Assignment and Assumption, but not earlier than the date which is five Business Days after the date Administrative Agent has received the Assignment and Assumption.

Administrative Agent’s consent to any assignment shall not be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent-Related Person as to any matter. Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in the Assignment and Assumption in the Register. (en) After receipt of a completed Assignment and Assumption, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such assignee and/or such assigning Lender (including in the case of assignments to Affiliates of assigning Lenders), Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto. (eo) Each Lender may from time to time, without the consent of any other Person, grant participations to one or more other Persons that are Eligible Assignees (including another Lender but excluding (x) Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (y) natural persons) in all or any portion of its Loans, Revolving Commitments, Extensions of Credit or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating bank or other financial institution shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of the increased cost provisions (including yield protection and taxes) of Section 3 (but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would have incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation) and for purposes of Section 10.06, (iv) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (v) the consent of the 78 holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that the assigning Lender may, in any agreement with a participant, give such participant the right to consent (as between the assigning Lender and such participant) to any matter which (A) extends the Revolving Termination Date as to such participant or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to such participant, (B) reduces the rate of interest owing to such participant or any fee or any other monetary amount owing to such participant, or (C) reduces the amount of any scheduled payment of principal owing to such participant. Any Lender that sells a participation to any Person that is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code shall include in its participation agreement with such Person a covenant by such Person that such Person will comply with the provisions of Section 10.20 as if such Person were a Lender and provide that Administrative Agent and Borrower shall be third party beneficiaries of such covenant. Each Lender that sells or grants a participation shall (a) withhold or deduct from each payment to the holder of such participation the amount of any tax required under applicable law to be withheld or deducted from such payment and not withheld or deducted therefrom by Borrower or Administrative Agent, (b) pay the tax so withheld or deducted by it to the appropriate taxing authority in accordance with applicable law and (c) indemnify Borrower and Administrative Agent for any losses, cost and expenses that they may incur as a result of any failure to so withhold or deduct and pay such tax. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments, Extensions of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitments, Extensions of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 (c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 10.05 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders or any assignee of any Lender or any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Proceeding Party”) provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Proceeding Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to proceed directly, by right of set-off, banker’s lien or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower which may be in the hands of such Proceeding Party (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Proceeding Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) and apply such assets against the Obligations then due and payable, irrespective of whether such Proceeding Party shall have made any demand therefor. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 10.06 Sharing of Payments. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender receives in payment of the Obligations held by such other Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws, (a) such Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from the other Lender a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lender and shall pay to the other Lender a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and 79 purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, (i) if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest and (ii) this Section 10.06 shall not apply to any payments made in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased. 10.07 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. (ep) No failure by any Lender or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any Lender or Administrative Agent in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. (eq) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. Any decision by Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest at the Default Rate), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment thereof, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion. Lenders. (er) Except with respect to Section 9.09, the terms and conditions of Section 9 are for the sole benefit of the Agents and 10.08 Usury. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).

Solely for purposes of this Subsection 10.20(b), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update and deliver such form or certification to Borrower and Administrative Agent or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. 10.21 Removal and Replacement of Lenders.

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(ii) With respect to each subsequent calendar year in the Term, Employee shall be entitled to continue to participate in the Company’s Cash Bonus Plan (or any successor performance-based cash incentive compensation plan) pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof and on a basis consistent with that applicable to other employees at Employee’s level, taking into account Employee’s position, duties and performance, provided that in no event will the percentage of eligible earnings target bonus potential thereunder be less than that set forth on Schedule 1. 4. Benefit Plans and Programs. Employee shall be entitled to: (a) participate in the Company’s health and welfare and other employee benefit plans and programs (including group insurance programs, and vacation benefits), on terms (including cost) as are consistent with those made available to other employees at Employee’s level, taking into account Employee’s position and duties, in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs; and (b) applicable directors and officers liability insurance and indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions relating to claims made by third parties against Employee in Employee’s role as a director, officer or employee) (the items listed in subparagraphs (a) and (b) collectively “Benefit Plans”). Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Company’s right to modify or discontinue any Benefit Plans at any time, provided no such action may adversely affect any vested rights of Employee thereunder. The provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall not apply to compensation and benefit plans and programs specifically addressed in this Agreement; in which case the applicable other terms of this Agreement shall control. 5. Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse Employee for reasonable travel, lodging, meal, entertainment and other expenses incurred by Employee in connection with the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, upon presentation of receipts therefor submitted to the Company on a timely basis and in accordance with the Company’s policies and practices in effect from time to time. 2  6. Termination. During the Term, Employee’s employment, and the Company's obligations under this Agreement (excluding any obligations the Company may have under Paragraph 7, any other obligations expressly set forth herein as surviving termination of employment, and any obligations with respect to any vested rights of Employee under any compensation or benefit plans or programs), shall or may be terminated, in the circumstances set forth below. (a) Death. Employee's employment shall terminate automatically in the event of Employee’s death. (b) Disability. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, in the event Employee becomes substantially unable to perform the essential functions of his/her position, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to partial or total disability or incapacity resulting from a mental or physical illness, injury or other health-related cause (“Disability”). If such termination occurs during a period where there has been at least twelve (12) consecutive months of incapacity (or during a cumulative period where there has been at least fifty-two (52) weeks of incapacity in any two (2) calendar year period), then such termination will be considered a “Termination Due to Disability” under the terms of this Agreement. (c) Termination With Cause by the Company or Resignation Without Good Reason by Employee. (i) The Company may terminate Employee’s employment (a “Termination With Cause”) upon written notice following its determination that Employee has committed any of the following acts: (A) conviction of or guilty/no contest plea to a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, the nature and circumstances of which are determined in the Company’s discretion to disqualify Employee from continued employment with Company; (B) fraud; (C) embezzlement or other misappropriation of funds; (D) material misrepresentation with respect to the Company; (E) substantial and/or repeated failure to perform duties; (F) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of duties; (G) commission of any act or involvement in any situation, or occurrence, whether before or during the Term, which brings Employee or the Company into widespread public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule, or which justifiably shocks, insults or offends a significant portion of the community, or Employee’s or the Company’s being subject to publicity for any such act or involvement; (H) material violation of the Employee Handbook, the Code of Conduct or any other written Company policy, including, without limitation, a material violation of the Company’s anti-harassment and anti-discrimination policies; or (I) material breach of this Agreement. (ii) Employee may terminate Employee’s employment (a “Resignation Without Good Reason”) at any time for any reason (or for no reason) upon twenty (20) business days prior written notice without Good Reason (as such term is defined in subparagraph (d)(ii) below). (d) Termination Without Cause by the Company or Resignation With Good Reason by Employee. (i) The Company may terminate Employee’s employment (a “Termination Without Cause”) at any time for any reason (or for no reason) upon twenty (20) business days prior written notice. (ii) Employee may terminate Employee’s employment (a “Resignation With Good Reason”) as a result of any of the following acts of the Company upon ten (10) business days prior written notice, provided Employee has provided the Company such written notice within sixty (60) days of the occurrence thereof: a substantial demotion in Employee’s 3 position; or material breach of this Agreement (which, as to either such item, if capable of being cured (as reasonably determined by the Company), shall remain uncured following ten (10) business days after written notice thereof) (“Good Reason”). 7. Payments and Other Entitlements As a Result of Termination. If, during the Term, the Employee is terminated under Paragraph 6, Employee shall be entitled to the payments and provisions set forth below (which payments and provisions shall be the Employee’s sole entitlements as the result of such termination): (a) Death or Disability. Following termination due to death or Termination Due to Disability during the Term, Employee’s estate (or Employee, if Termination Due to Disability) shall be entitled to payment of any salary earned by the Employee prior to the termination, as well as payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary for a period of three (3) months following the date of termination (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices), amounts accrued or payable under any Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein), any accrued but unused vacation time, any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses, any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of a prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, an amount on account of the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (pro-rated through the date of termination, and calculated using actual achievement of Company-based performance goals and assuming full achievement of Employee’s personal performance goals) (in the case of each of the last two amounts, payable at such time as otherwise applicable absent such death or Termination Due to Disability), and any vested rights or benefits under any applicable provisions of any other compensation or benefit program or plan or grants thereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts th payable to Employee’s estate (or Employee, as applicable) pursuant to this subparagraph (a) shall be paid no later than the 45 day following the date of termination. (b) Termination With Cause by the Company or Resignation Without Good Reason by Employee. If Employee’s employment terminates as a result of a Termination With Cause or Resignation Without Good Reason during the Term, Employee shall be entitled to payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary through the date of termination (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices), amounts accrued or payable under any Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein), any accrued but unused vacation time, any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses, and any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of a prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (payable at such time as otherwise applicable absent such termination). Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts payable to Employee pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall be paid no later than the 45 day following the date of termination. th (c) Termination Without Cause by the Company or Resignation With Good Reason by Employee. If Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of a Termination Without Cause or Resignation With Good Reason during the Term, and subject to Paragraph 13 and to Employee’s entering into an agreement containing a release by Employee of the Company with respect to all matters relating to Employee’s employment and the termination thereof (other than rights under this Agreement which by their express terms continue following termination of employment and any vested rights under any compensation or benefit plan or program or grants thereunder) within thirty (30) days following the date of termination, in a form and containing terms as the Company customarily requires of terminated employees receiving salary continuation payments: (i) Provided Employee is alive at the time of payment thereof, Employee shall be entitled to continue to: (A) receive Employee’s then-current Base Salary in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; and (B) participate in the Company’s medical, prescription, dental and vision plans, with the Company continuing to cover the employer portion of the premium cost for such benefits (if and to the extent Employee was participating in 4 such plans at the time of termination); in each case for the period of time set forth on Schedule 1 following the date of termination. Employee’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended (“COBRA”) shall run concurrently with Employee’s participation during such period of time. The payments and benefits described in this subparagraph (i) will begin to be paid or provided as soon as administratively practicable after the release described in subparagraph (c) above becomes irrevocable, provided that if the 30-day period described in such subparagraph begins in one taxable year and ends in the following taxable year, such payments or benefits shall not commence until the following taxable year. (ii) Employee shall also receive payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary through the date of termination (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices); amounts accrued or payable under any Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein); any accrued but unused vacation time; any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses; any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of a prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practice for paying such year’s bonus); and a pro- rated amount on account of the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (calculated based on eligible earnings through the date of termination, and using actual achievement of Company-based performance goals and assuming full (i.e. 100%) achievement of Employee’s personal performance goals) (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practice for paying such year’s bonus, including the timing thereof). Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts payable to Employee pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) shall be paid no later than the 45 day following the date of termination. th (iii) Salary continuation payments under subparagraph (i) above shall be subject to reduction in the amount of any salary, bonus, vested equity or other compensation earned or received by Employee for services through employment or self- employment during or on account of the period of time of salary continuation. Employee shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of any such employment and amounts. The Company’s obligation to continue medical, prescription, dental and/or vision benefits shall cease upon Employee’s eligibility for such benefits from any subsequent employer. (iv) Provided Employee is alive at the time of payment, Employee shall be entitled to receive payment on account of: (A) the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, pro-rated beginning from the day following the date of termination through December 31st of the year of termination; and (B) the following year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, pro-rated based on the number of days of employment in the year of termination; in each case calculated using actual achievement of Company-based performance goals and assuming full (i.e. 100%) achievement of Employee’s personal performance goals (payable at such times as otherwise applicable absent such termination). (v) Provided Employee is alive at the time of vesting, Employee shall have the right to continued vesting of Stock Option Plan and Restricted Stock Plan grants through the period of time set forth on Schedule 1, as if there had been no termination of employment. Provided Employee is alive at the time of exercise, Employee shall have the right to exercise any vested Stock Option Plan grants through the period of time set forth on Schedule 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stock Option Plan grant made pursuant to subparagraph 3(d)(iii) of Employee’s Employment Agreement dated May 10, 2015, shall remain outstanding, notwithstanding the termination of employment, with the result that each will continue to vest during its then remaining term and such Stock Option Plan grant shall remain exercisable through its then remaining term. 8. Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition; Confidentiality. Employee acknowledges and agrees that: Employee’s skills, experience, knowledge and reputation are of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company; Employee is and will continue to be privy to confidential and 5 proprietary information, processes and know-how of the Company, the confidentiality of which has significant value to the Company and its future success; and the restrictions on Employee’s activities as set forth below are necessary to protect the value of the goodwill and other tangible and intangible assets of the Company. Based upon the foregoing, Employee agrees as follows: (a) While employed by the Company (whether during the Term or thereafter), and for a period of one year after termination of Employee’s employment for any reason (whether during the Term or thereafter), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) hire any employee of the Company (other than as a result of a general solicitation); (ii) solicit, induce, encourage or attempt to influence any employee, customer, consultant, independent contractor, service provider or supplier of the Company to cease to do business or terminate the employment or other relationship with the Company; or (iii) assist any other person or entity in doing or performing any of the acts that Employee is prohibited from doing under subparagraphs (i) or (ii) above. (b) (i) WHILE EMPLOYED BY THE COMPANY (WHETHER DURING THE TERM OR THEREAFTER); AND FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR AFTER A RESIGNATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON OR A TERMINATION WITH CAUSE, IN EITHER CASE WHETHER OCCURRING DURING THE TERM OR THEREAFTER; EMPLOYEE SHALL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIVITIES ON BEHALF OF, OR BE FINANCIALLY INTERESTED IN, A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS (AS AN AGENT, CONSULTANT, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, OFFICER, OWNER, PARTNER, MEMBER, PRINCIPAL, SERVICE PROVIDER OR OTHERWISE). A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS MEANS A BUSINESS (WHETHER CONDUCTED BY AN INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY, INCLUDING EMPLOYEE IN SELF-EMPLOYMENT) THAT IS ENGAGED IN COMPETITION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH ANY ENTITY CONTROLLING, CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH SUCH BUSINESS, WITH ANY OF THE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES (A) CARRIED ON BY THE COMPANY OR (B) BEING PLANNED BY THE COMPANY WITH EMPLOYEE’S PARTICIPATION. (ii) THIS RESTRICTION SHALL APPLY IN ANY GEOGRAPHIC AREA IN THE WORLD IN WHICH THE COMPANY CARRIES OUT BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. EMPLOYEE AGREES THAT NOT SPECIFYING A MORE LIMITED GEOGRAPHIC AREA IS REASONABLE IN LIGHT OF THE BROAD GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT BY THE COMPANY IN THE WORLD. (iii) For purposes of clarification of their intent, the parties agree that subparagraph (i) above restricts Employee from working on the account, or otherwise for the benefit, of a Competitive Business as a result of Employee’s working as an employee, consultant or in any other capacity for an entity that provides consulting, advisory, lobbying or similar services to other businesses. (iv) Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from owning for investment up to one percent (1%) of any class of equity security of an entity whose securities are traded on a national securities exchange or market. Further, nothing herein shall prevent Employee from engaging in the practice of law. (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, subparagraph 8(d) and Paragraph 9) or otherwise limits Employee’s ability to communicate directly with and provide information, including documents, not otherwise protected from disclosure by any applicable law or privilege, to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission regarding possible legal violations, without disclosure to the Company. The Company may not retaliate against Employee for any of these 6 activities, and nothing in this Agreement requires Employee to waive any monetary award or other payment that Employee might become entitled to from the SEC or OSHA. (d) Except as provided in subparagraph 8(c), during the Term and at all times thereafter, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, use for Employee’s personal benefit, or disclose to or use for the direct or indirect benefit of anyone other than the Company (except as may be required within the scope of Employee’s duties hereunder), any secret or confidential information, knowledge or data of the Company or any of its employees, officers, directors or agents (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: the terms and conditions of this Agreement; sales, marketing and other business methods; policies, plans, procedures, strategies and techniques; research and development projects and results; software and firmware; trade secrets, know-how, processes and other intellectual property; information on or relating to past, present or prospective employees or suppliers; and information on or relating to past, present or prospective customers, including customer lists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is generally available to the public; or (ii) is available to Employee on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company, provided such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information to Employee by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation. Employee agrees that Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Company, and agrees that, immediately upon Employee’s termination of employment for any reason (including after the Term), Employee shall deliver to the Company all correspondence, documents, books, records, lists and other materials containing Confidential Information that are within Employee’s possession or control, regardless of the medium in which such materials are maintained, and Employee shall retain no copies thereof in any medium. Except as provided in subparagraph 8(c), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee agrees neither to prepare, participate in or assist in the preparation of any article, book, speech or other writing or communication relating to the past, present or future business, operations, personnel or prospects of the Company, nor to encourage or assist others to do any of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion). Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from: (A) complying with a valid subpoena or other legal requirement for disclosure of Confidential Information, provided that, except as provided in subparagraph 8(c), Employee shall use good faith efforts to notify the Company promptly and in advance of disclosure if Employee believes Employee is under a legal requirement to disclose Confidential Information otherwise protected from disclosure under this subparagraph; or (B) disclosing the terms and conditions of this Agreement to Employee’s spouse or tax, accounting, financial or legal advisors, or as necessary to enforce this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)), Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition and without limiting the preceding sentence, if Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose the trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Employee (i) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. (e) Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 8, in light of the nature of the businesses in which the Company is engaged and Employee’s position with the Company, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of these restrictions would result in irreparable injury to the Company. Employee therefore agrees that: (i) in the event of Employee’s violation of any of these restrictions, the Company shall have the right to suspend or terminate any unaccrued payment obligations to Employee hereunder and/or Employee’s unaccrued rights under any 7 compensation or benefit plans or programs hereunder or thereunder (including in each case any arising following termination of employment); and (ii) in the event of Employee’s violation or threatened violation of any of these restrictions, the Company shall be entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction: (A) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against Employee; (B) damages from Employee (including the Company’s reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses); and (C) an equitable accounting of all compensation, commissions, earnings, profits and other benefits to Employee arising from such violation; all of which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies to which the Company may be entitled as set forth herein or as a matter of law. (f) Employee agrees that if any part of the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 8, or the application thereof, is construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such restrictions or the application thereof shall not be affected, and the remaining restrictions shall have full force and effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portions. If any restriction is held to be unenforceable because of the area covered, the duration thereof or the scope thereof, Employee agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the area and/or the duration, and/or limit the scope thereof, and the restriction shall then be enforceable in its reduced form. (g) If Employee violates any such restrictions, the period of such violation (from the commencement of any such violation until such time as such violation shall be cured by Employee) shall not count toward or be included in any applicable restrictive period. (h) Employee agrees that prior to accepting employment with any other person or entity at any time during the one-year period following termination of employment referred to in subparagraph (b)(i) above, Employee will provide the prospective employer with written notice of the provisions of this Paragraph 8, with a copy of such notice provided simultaneously to the Company. 9. Non-Disparaging Statements. Except as provided in subparagraph 8(c), during the period of Employee’s employment (whether during the Term or thereafter), and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, neither party shall disparage (directly or indirectly; orally, in writing or otherwise), the other party or, in the case of the Company, any of its employees, officers or directors, in any communication with or to any person or entity, including: (a) any actual or potential employer of Employee; (b) any actual or potential employee, customer, consultant, independent contractor, investor, lender, service provider or supplier of the Company; or (c) any media outlet. The foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict either party’s obligation to testify truthfully in any proceeding or cooperate in any governmental investigation. 10. Company Property. (a) To the extent any Company Intellectual Property (as defined in subparagraph (f) below) is not already owned by the Company as a matter of law or by prior written assignment by Employee to the Company, Employee hereby assigns to Comcast Corporation, and agrees to assign to Comcast Corporation or its designated subsidiary(ies) in the future (to the extent required), all right, title and interest that Employee now has or acquires in the future in and to any and all Company Intellectual Property. Employee shall further cooperate with the Company in obtaining, protecting and enforcing its interests in Company Intellectual Property. Such cooperation shall be at the Company’s expense, and shall include, at the Company’s election, without limitation, signing all documents reasonably requested by the Company for patent, copyright and other Intellectual Property (as defined in subparagraph (f) below) applications and registrations, and individual assignments thereof, and providing other reasonably requested assistance. Employee’s obligation to assist the Company in obtaining, protecting and enforcing Company Intellectual Property rights shall continue following Employee’s employment with the Company, but the Company shall be obliged to compensate Employee at a then prevailing 8 reasonable consulting rate for any time spent and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred at the Company’s request for providing such assistance. Such compensation shall be paid irrespective of, and is not contingent upon, the substance of any testimony Employee may give or provide while assisting the Company or the outcome of any proceeding where such testimony is given or provided. (b) Employee shall use reasonable efforts to promptly disclose to the Company, or any person(s) designated by the Company, all Intellectual Property that is created, fixed, conceived or reduced to practice by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during the term of Employee’s employment with the Company, whether or not patentable or copyrightable or believed by Employee to be patentable or copyrightable, including without limitation any Intellectual Property (to be held in confidence by the Company) that qualifies fully as a nonassignable invention under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (“Nonassignable IP”). If Employee contends that any such Intellectual Property qualifies as Nonassignable IP, Employee will promptly so notify the Company, and Employee agrees to cooperate fully with a review and verification process by the Company. In addition, Employee will promptly disclose to the Company (to be held in confidence) all patent applications filed by Employee or on Employee’s behalf within six (6) months after termination of employment, and to cooperate fully with a review and determination by the Company as to whether such patent applications constitute or include Company Intellectual Property. Employee has reviewed the notification on Schedule 2 and agrees that Employee’s execution hereof acknowledges receipt of such notification. (c) In the event that the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Employee’s signature on any lawful and necessary document to apply for, execute or otherwise further prosecute or register any patent or copyright application or any other Company Intellectual Property application or registration, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf and instead of Employee to execute and file such lawful and necessary documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further prosecute, issue and/or register patents, copyrights and any other Company Intellectual Property rights with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. (d) To the extent any materials, including written, graphic or computer programmed materials, authored, prepared, contributed to or written by Employee, in whole or in part, during the term of employment by the Company and relating in whole or in part to the business, products, services, research or development of the Company qualify as “work made for hire,” as such term is defined and used in the copyright laws of the United States, then such materials shall be done by Employee as “work made for hire” under such law. (e) If Employee owns or controls or has the power to grant licenses under any patents or other Intellectual Property rights that are, during the term of Employee’s employment, incorporated in or utilized in the development, manufacture or delivery of any of the Company’s products or services by Employee or with Employee’s knowledge, assistance, or encouragement, Employee agrees to grant and hereby does grant to the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, freely transferable and sublicensable, unrestricted worldwide license under such patents or other Intellectual Property to make, have made, use, reproduce, display, perform, sell, offer to sell, import, export, distribute, and otherwise transfer or dispose of, all of the Company’s products and services. The foregoing license shall extend throughout the Company’s supply and distribution chains, and shall extend to partners of the Company (in relation to the Company’s products and services) as well. (f) “Intellectual Property” means any and all ideas, inventions, formulae, knowhow, trade secrets, devices, designs, models, methods, techniques, processes, specifications, tooling, computer programs, software code, works of authorship, copyrighted and copyrightable works, mask works, trademarks and service marks, Internet domain names, technical and product 9 information, patents and patent applications, and any other intellectual property rights or applications, throughout the world. “Company Intellectual Property” means any Intellectual Property created, fixed, conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by Employee, during Employee’s employment by the Company, either alone or jointly with others, whether or not such Intellectual Property is patentable or copyrightable, that either: (i) relates to the Company’s current or planned businesses; or (ii) is created, fixed, conceived or reduced to practice (A) in the performance of the Employee’s duties or (B) using the Company’s information, facilities, equipment or other assets. “Company Intellectual Property” does not include Nonassignable IP. 11. Representations. (a) Employee represents that: (i) Employee has had the opportunity to retain and consult with legal counsel and tax advisors of Employee’s choice regarding the terms of this Agreement. (ii) Subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws and general equitable principles, this Agreement is enforceable against Employee in accordance with its terms. (iii) This Agreement, and the performance of Employee’s obligations hereunder, do not conflict with, violate or give rise to any rights of other persons or entities under, any agreement, benefit plan or program, order, decree or judgment to which Employee is a party or by which Employee is bound. (b) The Company represents that: (i) Subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws and general equitable principles, this Agreement is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. (ii) This Agreement, and the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder, do not conflict with, violate or give rise to any rights to other persons or entities under, any agreement, order, decree or judgment to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 12. Withholding; Deductions. All compensation under this Agreement is subject to applicable tax withholding requirements and other deductions required by law, the Company’s policies and Employee’s applicable Benefit Plan elections. Employee agrees that the Company is entitled to deduct from monies payable and reimbursable to Employee hereunder all sums that Employee owes the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 13. Section 409A. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided to Employee constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and its implementing regulations and guidance (collectively, “Section 409A”): (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Employee is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit. 10  (b) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment in a series of payments provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed a separate payment. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, any payment or benefit described in Paragraph 7 that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall only be paid or provided to Employee upon Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation). To the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A to payments due to Employee upon or following Employee’s “separation from service,” then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (or any otherwise applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), any such payments that are otherwise due within six (6) months following Employee’s “separation from service” will be deferred (without interest) and paid to Employee in a lump sum immediately following that six (6) month period. In the event Employee dies during that six (6) month period, the amounts deferred on account of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) shall be paid to the personal representatives of Employee’s estate within sixty (60) days following Employee’s death. This provision shall not be construed as preventing payments to Employee pursuant to Paragraph 7 in the first six (6) months following Employee’s “separation from service” equal to an amount up to two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Employee’s annualized compensation for the year prior to the “separation from service;” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to section 401(a)(17) of the Code. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, all benefits or payments provided by the Company to Employee that would be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A are intended to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, distributions may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A or an applicable exemption. 14. Successors. (a) If Comcast Corporation merges into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, or as part of a reorganization, restructuring or other transaction becomes a subsidiary of, another entity, such other entity shall be deemed to be the successor to Comcast Corporation hereunder, and the term “Company” as used herein shall mean such other entity (together with its subsidiaries) as is appropriate, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. (b) If Comcast Corporation transfers part of its assets to another entity owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of Comcast Corporation (or any substantial portion of them), or transfers stock or other interests in a subsidiary of Comcast Corporation directly or indirectly to the shareholders of Comcast Corporation (or any substantial portion of them), and Employee works for the portion of the Company or subsidiary so transferred, then the successor or continuing employer entity shall be deemed the successor to the Company hereunder, the term “Company” as used herein shall mean such entity (together with its subsidiaries) as is appropriate, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 15. ARBITRATION/WAIVER OF OR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY/CLASS ACTION WAIVER. (a) In consideration of the mutual obligations set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree that they will comply with and be bound by the terms of the Company’s Comcast Solutions Early Dispute Resolution Program (“Comcast Solutions Program”) with respect to any and all Covered Claims within the meaning of the Comcast Solutions Program. The following documents that provide detailed information about the Comcast 11 Solutions Program have been provided to you as Schedule 3 to this Agreement: (i) the Program Guide to Comcast Solutions; and (ii) Frequently Asked Questions.

If such termination occurs during a period where there has been at least twelve (12) consecutive months of incapacity (or during a cumulative period where there has been at least fifty-two (52) weeks of incapacity in any two (2) calendar year period), then such termination will be considered a “Termination Due to Disability” under the terms of this Agreement.

Payments and Other Entitlements As a Result of Termination. If, during the Term, the Employee is terminated under Paragraph 6, Employee shall be entitled to the payments and provisions set forth below (which payments and provisions shall be the Employee’s sole entitlements as the result of such termination): (a) Death or Disability. Following termination due to death or Termination Due to Disability during the Term, Employee’s estate (or Employee, if Termination Due to Disability) shall be entitled to payment of any salary earned by the Employee prior to the termination, as well as payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary for a period of three (3) months following the date of termination (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices), amounts accrued or payable under any Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein), any accrued but unused vacation time, any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses, any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of a prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, an amount on account of the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (pro-rated through the date of termination, and calculated using actual achievement of Company-based performance goals and assuming full achievement of Employee’s personal performance goals) (in the case of each of the last two amounts, payable at such time as otherwise applicable absent such death or Termination Due to Disability), and any vested rights or benefits under any applicable provisions of any other compensation or benefit program or plan or grants thereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts th payable to Employee’s estate (or Employee, as applicable) pursuant to this subparagraph (a) shall be paid no later than the 45 day following the date of termination. (b) Termination With Cause by the Company or Resignation Without Good Reason by Employee.

Employee’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended (“COBRA”) shall run concurrently with Employee’s participation during such period of time. The payments and benefits described in this subparagraph (i) will begin to be paid or provided as soon as administratively practicable after the release described in subparagraph (c) above becomes irrevocable, provided that if the 30-day period described in such subparagraph begins in one taxable year and ends in the following taxable year, such payments or benefits shall not commence until the following taxable year. (ii) Employee shall also receive payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary through the date of termination (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices); amounts accrued or payable under any Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein); any accrued but unused vacation time; any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses; any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of a prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practice for paying such year’s bonus); and a pro- rated amount on account of the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (calculated based on eligible earnings through the date of termination, and using actual achievement of Company-based performance goals and assuming full (i.e. 100%) achievement of Employee’s personal performance goals) (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practice for paying such year’s bonus, including the timing thereof). Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts payable to Employee pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) shall be paid no later than the 45 day following the date of termination. th (iii) Salary continuation payments under subparagraph (i) above shall be subject to reduction in the amount of any salary, bonus, vested equity or other compensation earned or received by Employee for services through employment or self- employment during or on account of the period of time of salary continuation. Employee shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of any such employment and amounts. The Company’s obligation to continue medical, prescription, dental and/or vision benefits shall cease upon Employee’s eligibility for such benefits from any subsequent employer. (iv) Provided Employee is alive at the time of payment, Employee shall be entitled to receive payment on account of: (A) the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, pro-rated beginning from the day following the date of termination through December 31st of the year of termination; and (B) the following year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, pro-rated based on the number of days of employment in the year of termination; in each case calculated using actual achievement of Company-based performance goals and assuming full (i.e. 100%) achievement of Employee’s personal performance goals (payable at such times as otherwise applicable absent such termination). (v) Provided Employee is alive at the time of vesting, Employee shall have the right to continued vesting of Stock Option Plan and Restricted Stock Plan grants through the period of time set forth on Schedule 1, as if there had been no termination of employment. Provided Employee is alive at the time of exercise, Employee shall have the right to exercise any vested Stock Option Plan grants through the period of time set forth on Schedule 1. 8. Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition; Confidentiality. Employee acknowledges and agrees that: Employee’s skills, experience, knowledge and reputation are of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company; Employee is and will continue to be privy to confidential and proprietary information, processes and know-how of the Company, the confidentiality of which has significant value to the Company and its future success; and the restrictions on Employee’s activities as set forth below are necessary to protect the value of the goodwill and other tangible and intangible assets of the Company. Based upon the foregoing, Employee agrees as follows: 5  (a) While employed by the Company (whether during the Term or thereafter), and for a period of one year after termination of Employee’s employment for any reason (whether during the Term or thereafter), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) hire any employee of the Company (other than as a result of a general solicitation); (ii) solicit, induce, encourage or attempt to influence any employee, customer, consultant, independent contractor, service provider or supplier of the Company to cease to do business or terminate the employment or other relationship with the Company; or (iii) assist any other person or entity in doing or performing any of the acts that Employee is prohibited from doing under subparagraphs (i) or (ii) above. (b) (i) WHILE EMPLOYED BY THE COMPANY (WHETHER DURING THE TERM OR THEREAFTER); AND FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR AFTER A RESIGNATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON OR A TERMINATION WITH CAUSE, IN EITHER CASE WHETHER OCCURRING DURING THE TERM OR THEREAFTER; EMPLOYEE SHALL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIVITIES ON BEHALF OF, OR BE FINANCIALLY INTERESTED IN, A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS (AS AN AGENT, CONSULTANT, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, OFFICER, OWNER, PARTNER, MEMBER, PRINCIPAL, SERVICE PROVIDER OR OTHERWISE). A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS MEANS A BUSINESS (WHETHER CONDUCTED BY AN INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY, INCLUDING EMPLOYEE IN SELF-EMPLOYMENT) THAT IS ENGAGED IN COMPETITION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH ANY ENTITY CONTROLLING, CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH SUCH BUSINESS, WITH ANY OF THE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES (A) CARRIED ON BY THE COMPANY OR (B) BEING PLANNED BY THE COMPANY WITH EMPLOYEE’S PARTICIPATION. (ii) THIS RESTRICTION SHALL APPLY IN ANY GEOGRAPHIC AREA IN THE WORLD IN WHICH THE COMPANY CARRIES OUT BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. EMPLOYEE AGREES THAT NOT SPECIFYING A MORE LIMITED GEOGRAPHIC AREA IS REASONABLE IN LIGHT OF THE BROAD GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT BY THE COMPANY IN THE WORLD. (iii) For purposes of clarification of their intent, the parties agree that subparagraph (i) above restricts Employee from working on the account, or otherwise for the benefit, of a Competitive Business as a result of Employee’s working as an employee, consultant or in any other capacity for an entity that provides consulting, advisory, lobbying or similar services to other businesses. (iv) Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from owning for investment up to one percent (1%) of any class of equity security of an entity whose securities are traded on a national securities exchange or market. Further, nothing herein shall prevent Employee from engaging in the practice of law. (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, subparagraph 8(d) and Paragraph 9) or otherwise limits Employee’s ability to communicate directly with and provide information, including documents, not otherwise protected from disclosure by any applicable law or privilege, to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission regarding possible legal violations, without disclosure to the Company. The Company may not retaliate against Employee for any of these activities, and nothing in this Agreement requires Employee to waive any monetary award or other payment that Employee might become entitled to from the SEC or OSHA. (d) Except as provided in subparagraph 8(c), during the Term and at all times thereafter, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, use for Employee’s personal benefit, or disclose to or use for the direct or indirect benefit of anyone other than the Company (except as 6 may be required within the scope of Employee’s duties hereunder), any secret or confidential information, knowledge or data of the Company or any of its employees, officers, directors or agents (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: the terms and conditions of this Agreement; sales, marketing and other business methods; policies, plans, procedures, strategies and techniques; research and development projects and results; software and firmware; trade secrets, know-how, processes and other intellectual property; information on or relating to past, present or prospective employees or suppliers; and information on or relating to past, present or prospective customers, including customer lists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is generally available to the public; or (ii) is available to Employee on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company, provided such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information to Employee by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation. Employee agrees that Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Company, and agrees that, immediately upon Employee’s termination of employment for any reason (including after the Term), Employee shall deliver to the Company all correspondence, documents, books, records, lists and other materials containing Confidential Information that are within Employee’s possession or control, regardless of the medium in which such materials are maintained, and Employee shall retain no copies thereof in any medium. Except as provided in subparagraph 8(c), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee agrees neither to prepare, participate in or assist in the preparation of any article, book, speech or other writing or communication relating to the past, present or future business, operations, personnel or prospects of the Company, nor to encourage or assist others to do any of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion). Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from: (A) complying with a valid subpoena or other legal requirement for disclosure of Confidential Information, provided that, except as provided in subparagraph 8(c), Employee shall use good faith efforts to notify the Company promptly and in advance of disclosure if Employee believes Employee is under a legal requirement to disclose Confidential Information otherwise protected from disclosure under this subparagraph; or (B) disclosing the terms and conditions of this Agreement to Employee’s spouse or tax, accounting, financial or legal advisors, or as necessary to enforce this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)), Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition and without limiting the preceding sentence, if Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose the trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Employee (i) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. (e) Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 8, in light of the nature of the businesses in which the Company is engaged and Employee’s position with the Company, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of these restrictions would result in irreparable injury to the Company. Employee therefore agrees that: (i) in the event of Employee’s violation of any of these restrictions, the Company shall have the right to suspend or terminate any unaccrued payment obligations to Employee hereunder and/or Employee’s unaccrued rights under any compensation or benefit plans or programs hereunder or thereunder (including in each case any arising following termination of employment); and (ii) in the event of Employee’s violation or threatened violation of any of these restrictions, the Company shall be entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction: (A) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against Employee; (B) damages from Employee (including the Company’s reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses); and (C) an equitable accounting of all compensation, commissions, earnings, 7 profits and other benefits to Employee arising from such violation; all of which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies to which the Company may be entitled as set forth herein or as a matter of law. (f) Employee agrees that if any part of the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 8, or the application thereof, is construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such restrictions or the application thereof shall not be affected, and the remaining restrictions shall have full force and effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portions. If any restriction is held to be unenforceable because of the area covered, the duration thereof or the scope thereof, Employee agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the area and/or the duration, and/or limit the scope thereof, and the restriction shall then be enforceable in its reduced form. (g) If Employee violates any such restrictions, the period of such violation (from the commencement of any such violation until such time as such violation shall be cured by Employee) shall not count toward or be included in any applicable restrictive period. (h) Employee agrees that prior to accepting employment with any other person or entity at any time during the one-year period following termination of employment referred to in subparagraph (b)(i) above, Employee will provide the prospective employer with written notice of the provisions of this Paragraph 8, with a copy of such notice provided simultaneously to the Company. 9. Non-Disparaging Statements. Except as provided in subparagraph 8(c), during the period of Employee’s employment (whether during the Term or thereafter), and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, neither party shall disparage (directly or indirectly; orally, in writing or otherwise), the other party or, in the case of the Company, any of its employees, officers or directors, in any communication with or to any person or entity, including: (a) any actual or potential employer of Employee; (b) any actual or potential employee, customer, consultant, independent contractor, investor, lender, service provider or supplier of the Company; or (c) any media outlet. The foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict either party’s obligation to testify truthfully in any proceeding or cooperate in any governmental investigation. 10. Company Property. (a) To the extent any Company Intellectual Property (as defined in subparagraph (f) below) is not already owned by the Company as a matter of law or by prior written assignment by Employee to the Company, Employee hereby assigns to Comcast Corporation, and agrees to assign to Comcast Corporation or its designated subsidiary(ies) in the future (to the extent required), all right, title and interest that Employee now has or acquires in the future in and to any and all Company Intellectual Property. Employee shall further cooperate with the Company in obtaining, protecting and enforcing its interests in Company Intellectual Property.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, all benefits or payments provided by the Company to Employee that would be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A are intended to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, distributions may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A or an applicable exemption. 14.

The Company may condition delivery of certificates for Shares upon the prior receipt from Grantee of any undertakings which it may determine are required to assure that the certificates are being issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. The right to payment of any fractional Shares shall be satisfied in cash, measured by the product of the fractional amount multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Vesting Date, as determined by the Committee. (b) Repayment. [(1)] If it is determined by the Board that gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud by Grantee caused or partially caused the Company to have to restate all or a portion of its financial statements, the Board, in its sole discretion, may, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent it determines in its sole judgment that it is in the best interests of the Company to do so, require repayment of Shares delivered pursuant to the vesting of the Performance Stock Units, or to effect the cancellation of unvested Performance Stock Units, if (i) the vesting of the Award was calculated based upon, or contingent on, the achievement of financial or operating results that were the subject of or affected by the restatement, and (ii) the extent of vesting of the Award would have been less had the financial statements been correct. In addition, to the extent that the receipt of an Award subject to repayment under this Paragraph 10(b) has been deferred pursuant to Paragraph 6 (or any other plan, program or arrangement that permits the deferral of receipt of an Award), such Award (and any earnings credited with respect thereto) shall be forfeited in lieu of repayment. [(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Award shall be subject to any clawback or recoupment arrangements or policies the Company has in place from time to time (including, without limitation, any policy adopted to comply with Rule 10D-1 of the 1934 Act or any related stock exchange rules), and the Committee may, to the extent permitted or shall, to the extent required, by applicable law and stock exchange rules or by any applicable Company policy or arrangement, cancel or require reimbursement of the Award or any Shares issued or cash received upon vesting, exercise or settlement of the Award or sale of Shares underlying the Award.] 11.Rights Prior to Settlement.

Grantee understands and agrees that all payments made pursuant to this Award are intended to be exempt and/or comply with Section 409A of the Code (together with its implement regulations and guidance, “Section 409A”), and shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company makes no representations that the payments provided pursuant this Award comply with Section 409A, and in no event will the Company be liable for any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by you on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any Performance Stock Units are determined by the Company to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes Section 409A, and Shares become deliverable with respect to this Award as a result of Grantee’s Termination of Employment, such Shares will only be delivered if such Termination of Employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h) and, to the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(2) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Company, Shares that would otherwise become deliverable upon Grantee’s “separation from service” will be deferred (without interest) and issued to Grantee immediately following the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Grantee’s separation from service. 13. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision hereof and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such invalid or unenforceable term or provision (to the extent of the invalidity or unenforceability) had not been contained herein. 14. Award Not to Affect Employment. The Award granted hereunder shall not confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary Company or Affiliate of the Company. 15.Governing Law.

(b) Notwithstanding Paragraph 5(a), in the event the Terminating Event is not consummated, the Performance Stock Option shall be deemed not to have been exercised and shall be exercisable thereafter to the extent it would have been exercisable if no such notice had been given. 6. Payment for Shares.

Nontransferability of Performance Stock Option. The Performance Stock Option may not be transferred or assigned by the Grantee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or be exercised during his life other than by the Grantee or for his benefit by his attorney-in-fact or guardian.

If the listing, registration or qualification of Shares issuable on the exercise of the Performance Stock Option upon any securities exchange or under any federal or state law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary as a condition of or in connection with the purchase of such Shares, the Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver the certificates representing the Shares otherwise issuable on the exercise of the Performance Stock Option unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. If registration is considered unnecessary by the Company or its counsel, the Company may cause a legend to be placed on such Shares calling attention to the fact that they have been acquired for investment and have not been registered. 11.

(e) The Grantee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and of the United States of America, in each case located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for any -8- actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Litigation”) and agrees not to commence any Litigation except in any such court, and further agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to his respective address shall be effective service of process for any Litigation brought against him in any such court.

The Shareholders shall have no part in the management or control of the Company and shall have no authority or right to act on behalf of the Company in connection with any matter.

The Board may remove any Officer at any time with or without cause. 20 (c) Unless explicitly designated as such, the Officers are not members of the Board. One individual may hold more than one office. Each Officer shall hold his or her office until his or her successor is appointed or until his or her earlier resignation, removal, incapacity or death.

In connection with a Cause Redemption, ManagementCo Shareholder shall be entitled to receive from the Company as of the date of redemption an amount equal to the distributions it would be entitled to receive in such assumed liquidation as contemplated by clause (iv) of the preceding sentence, less 20% of the portion of such amount that is attributable to undistributed Class II Proceeds, and ManagementCo Shareholder shall be deemed to have an Available Capital Commitment equal to zero from and after the date of redemption. Any amount paid to ManagementCo Shareholder pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) shall be paid in the form of a promissory note, which promissory note shall be non-interest bearing, shall have a final maturity date not later than the last day on which the Company makes distributions pursuant to Section 11.01 and shall provide that ManagementCo Shareholder will receive payments in respect thereto on each date on which a distribution is made to the Shareholders in proportion to the distributions that ManagementCo Shareholder would have received had a Cause Redemption not occurred.

or (b) make Investments (i) of more than $2 billion in the aggregate sourced from Capital Contributions or Distributable Amounts in any 12-month period or (ii) of more than $400 million in the aggregate sourced from Available Capital Commitments (other than any increase thereof pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof) in any 12-month period beginning on the date hereof;

(k) permit the waiver or failure to enforce by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any contractual obligations of the Manager, ManagementCo Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), including obligations of the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement;

(b) In the event that Comcast Shareholder determines not to grant its consent to a proposed Investment under Section 4.01(f) or Section 4.01(g), and such Investment is initially identified to Comcast Shareholder by the Company or the Manager, Comcast Shareholder, the Company and the Manager will discuss in good faith arrangements 24 designed to compensate the Manager for its efforts in identifying/sourcing the Investment. Section 4.03. Core Business Evaluation.

(ii) If Comcast Shareholder Transfers some, but less than all, of its Company Securities to a Comcast Permitted Spin Transferee (a “Partial Spin Transfer”), then (A) such Transfer shall only be in the form of an indirect transfer via the transfer to such Comcast Permitted Spin Transferee of equity securities issued by Comcast Shareholder (or the issuance by Comcast Shareholder of equity securities to such Comcast Permitted Spin Transferee), (B) subject to Section 5.03(c)(iv) and Section 5.03(d), all Comcast Shareholder Rights and Obligations shall continue to apply to, and shall only be exercisable by, Comcast Shareholder and (C) Comcast and the Comcast Permitted Spin Transferee shall enter into such arrangements with respect to the indirect allocation of Comcast Shareholder Rights and Obligations between themselves (as holders of equity securities issued by Comcast Shareholder) as they shall determine in their sole discretion. (iii) In the event that Comcast proposes to effect a Partial Spin Transfer and the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(c)(ii) would, or would reasonably be likely to, result in significant adverse consequences to Comcast or the Comcast Permitted Spin Transferee, then Comcast Shareholder, the Company and the Manager shall negotiate in good faith to structure alternative arrangements and modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties (as reflected in Section 5.03(c)(ii) and Section 5.03(d)) as close as possible in an acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated by Section 5.03(c)(ii) can be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent 26 possible without resulting in such adverse consequences.

The Company may make any election under the second sentence of this Section 6.02(c) with respect to one or more Shareholders and not any other Shareholder. For purposes of this Agreement, any Capital Contribution made by a Shareholder for purposes of repaying Company Debt as contemplated by Section 8.05(h) shall be treated as a Capital Contribution to fund an Investment, or in respect of an Investment, to the extent, and only to the extent, the amount being repaid consists of any portion of such Company Debt originally incurred to fund any portion of the acquisition cost of such Investment (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any Capital Contributions used to pay interest, fees or similar amounts in respect of Company Debt shall not be treated as Capital Contributions to fund any portion of the acquisition cost of an Investment). (d) With respect to each draw of Capital Contributions to the extent to fund Company Expenses, subject to Section 8.05(h), each Shareholder shall be required to make a Capital Contribution equal to the product of (x) such Shareholder’s Available Commitment Percentage multiplied by (y) the Company Expenses Drawdown Amount in respect of such Company Expenses; provided, that, with respect to each draw of Capital 30 Contributions to the extent to fund the Management Fee, Comcast Shareholder shall be required to make a Capital Contribution equal to the amount of the Management Fee to be funded by such draw and no other Shareholder shall be required to make any Capital Contribution. (e) Subject to Section 4.01, the Company may utilize previous Capital Contributions in respect of Temporary Cash Funds or amounts retained by the Company pursuant to Section 8.05(c) to fund all or any portion of the acquisition of any Investment or the payment of Company Expenses at any time, and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such use will not reduce the Available Capital Commitment of any Shareholder. Section 6.03. Reinvestment. At all times during the Commitment Period, the Company may recall as Capital Contributions pursuant to this Article 6 all or a portion of amounts distributed to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 8.02 that represent the return of Capital Contributions made by the Shareholders and use such recalled amounts for the making of Investments; provided that in no event will the cost basis of Investments held by the Company attributable to Capital Contributions made by Comcast Shareholder (including any recalled Capital Contributions) exceed $4,500,000,000 at any time (for the avoidance of doubt, not reduced by any amounts retained by the Company pursuant to Section 8.05(c)). In order to give effect to the foregoing, any amounts distributed prior to the end of the Commitment Period to any Shareholder pursuant to Section 8.02 that represent the return of Capital Contributions shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of “Capital Contributions made” by such Shareholder prior to such time for purposes of clause (b) of the definition of “Available Capital Commitments”. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of this Section 6.03, (a) the amount of the distribution to each Shareholder as contemplated by the third sentence of Section 6.02(f) of the Third Amended Agreement (provided that the amount of the distribution to Comcast Spectacor shall be treated as if it was made to Comcast Shareholder) will be recallable under this Section 6.03 until the end of the Commitment Period (and shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of “Capital Contributions made” by such Shareholder prior to such time for purposes of clause (b) of the definition of “Available Capital Commitments”) and (b) amounts previously distributed to Comcast Spectacor that represented the return of any Capital Contributions (as defined in the Third Amended Agreement) made by Comcast Spectacor pursuant to the Second Amended Agreement or Third Amended Agreement (each as amended from time to time) shall have constituted the return of such Capital Contributions to Comcast Shareholder (as if originally made by Comcast Shareholder) and may be recalled from the Comcast Shareholder for the purpose of making any Investments. ARTICLE 7 Expenses Section 7.01. Definition and Payment of Manager Expenses. The Management Agreement provides that, as between the Manager and the Company, the Manager shall be solely responsible for and shall pay all Manager Expenses.

Subject to Section 8.05, and to amounts being lawfully available for the purpose, distributions of Proceeds in respect of a particular Investment will be made in respect of the Class I 32 Shares and the Class II Shares until the holders of the Class I Shares and the Class II Shares have received, on a cumulative basis and without duplication, the amounts set forth below in the following order of priority: (a) first, 100% to the holders of Class I Shares (pro rata in accordance with the amount of Capital Contributions made by such holders in respect of such Investment) until the aggregate amount distributed in respect of the relevant Investment equals the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made in respect of such Investment plus the Priority Return; (b) second, 100% to the holders of Class I Shares (pro rata in accordance with the amount of Capital Contributions made by such holders in respect of previously realized Investments) until the aggregate amount distributed in respect of previously realized Investments equals the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made in respect of such previously realized Investments plus the Priority Return; (c) third, 100% to the holder of the Class I-A Shares until the aggregate amount distributed equals the amount of Capital Contributions made in respect of Management Fees theretofore paid that the Manager determines in good faith should be returned pursuant to this clause third in order to reflect the cost basis of the portion of the Company’s aggregate portfolio represented by the relevant Investment and the previously realized Investments (measured relative to the cost basis of all realized and unrealized Investments) plus the Priority Return on such amount of Management Fees; (d) fourth, 100% to the holders of Class I Shares (pro rata in accordance with the amount of Capital Contributions made by such holders in respect of Qualifying Company Expenses) until the aggregate amount distributed equals the amount of Capital Contributions made in respect of Company Expenses (whether or not attributable to any Investment, and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Management Fee) theretofore paid that the Manager determines in good faith should be returned pursuant to this clause fourth in order to reflect the cost basis of the portion of the Company’s aggregate portfolio represented by the relevant Investment and the previously realized Investments (measured relative to the cost basis of all realized and unrealized Investments) (such amount of Company Expenses, the “Qualifying Company Expenses”) plus the Priority Return; (e) fifth, either: (i) if the Quarterly Value of the Company’s unrealized Investments is less than the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made in respect of such unrealized Investments, 100% to the holders of Class I Shares (pro rata in accordance with the amount of Capital Contributions made by such holders in respect of unrealized Investments) until the aggregate amount distributed equals the amount of the unrealized loss; or (ii) if the Quarterly Value of the Company’s unrealized Investments is greater than the amount equal to (x) the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made in respect of such unrealized Investments minus (y) the aggregate amount previously distributed to the holders of Class I Shares pursuant to subclause (i) of this clause (e) on account of then existing net unrealized losses in respect of such unrealized Investments (such excess amount, the “unrealized gain” at such time), 100% to the holder of Class II Shares until the aggregate amount distributed equals (A) 14.286% multiplied by (B) the 33 amount of such unrealized gain (provided that the amount of such unrealized gain taken into account for purposes of this calculation shall not exceed the aggregate amount previously distributed to the holders of Class I Shares pursuant to subclause (i) of this clause (e) and such previously distributed amounts shall relate to Investments that are unrealized Investments at the time of the distribution pursuant to this subclause (ii)); (f) sixth, 87.5% to the holder of the Class II Shares and 12.5% to the holders of the Class I Shares (pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate Capital Contributions made by the holders of the Class I Shares, other than Capital Contributions made by the holder of the Class I-A Shares to fund the Management Fee) until the holder of the Class II Shares has received, as a “catch up” distribution with respect to its Class II Shares, 12.5% of all distributions made, less aggregate Capital Contributions (including Capital Contributions made to pay Company Expenses, including Management Fees) returned, pursuant to clauses (a) through (d) above and this clause (f); and (g) thereafter, 87.5% to the holders of the Class I Shares (pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate Capital Contributions made by the holders of the Class I Shares, other than Capital Contributions made by the holder of the Class I-A Shares to fund the Management Fee) and 12.5% to the holder of the Class II Shares. Section 8.03. Other Provisions Applicable to Distributions. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) it shall not be necessary to recover capital in respect of any realized Investment under clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.02 if such capital has been previously recovered by virtue of a distribution under subclause (i) of clause (e) of Section 8.02 (which distribution, for the avoidance of doubt, has not been offset by a corresponding distribution under subclause (ii) of clause (e) of Section 8.02); provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case any capital in respect of any realized Investment has been recovered by virtue of such a distribution under subclause (i) of clause (e) of Section 8.02, it shall remain necessary to make distributions of the Priority Return under clause (b) of Section 8.02 in respect of such recovered capital to the extent prior distributions under clause (a) of Section 8.02 have been insufficient to satisfy the full amount of such Priority Return; and (ii) it shall not be necessary to make any distribution in respect of any unrealized loss under subclause (i) of clause (e) of Section 8.02 if there has been a previous distribution in respect of the amount of such loss under subclause (i) of clause (e) of Section 8.02; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, it shall remain necessary to make distributions under subclause (i) of clause (e) of Section 8.02 in respect of subsequent unrealized losses with respect to the same Investment. (b) It is understood that for purposes of Section 8.02, (i) a “realized Investment” will mean any Investment that has been sold, otherwise disposed of or permanently and fully written off, and an “unrealized Investment” will mean any Investment that has not been sold, otherwise disposed of or permanently and fully written off, in each case as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion and (ii) any Investment that is partially sold or otherwise disposed of shall be treated as two (or more, as appropriate) separate Investments and the Capital Contributions in respect of such Investment shall be allocated among such two (or more, as appropriate) separate Investments, in each case as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion. 34 (c) In the event a recapitalization or similar transaction in respect of any Investment results in the receipt by the Company of any extraordinary dividends or similar proceeds (“Recap Dividends”), such transaction shall be treated as a partial disposition of the applicable Investment equal to the amount of such Recap Dividends received (and for purposes of Section 8.02 Capital Contributions in respect of the relevant Investment shall be allocated pro rata between such Recap Dividends and the remaining Investment based upon the relative amount of such Recap Dividends and the Fair Market Value of the remaining Investment immediately after giving effect to the payment of such Recap Dividends, as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion; provided that where such Investment consists of Publicly Traded Securities, such determination shall be based on the relative trading prices of such Publicly Traded Securities on the principal securities exchange on which such securities are traded prior to and after the record date for the Recap Dividend. (d) In the case of any ordinary dividends, interest or similar amounts received in respect of any unrealized Investment, such ordinary dividends, interest or similar amounts shall not be treated as a disposition of the applicable Investment and such unrealized Investment shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of Management Fees or Company Expenses that are to be returned pursuant to clauses (c) and (d) of Section 8.02. (e) Any amounts of Capital Contributions that are not used to make Investments or to satisfy Company Expenses (including as Temporary Cash Funds) or to pay the Management Fee, together with any net income thereon, shall be returned by the Company to the Shareholders, in the same relative proportions as the Shareholders made such Capital Contributions, promptly following the determination by the Manager that such amounts will not be used for the purpose for which the relevant Capital Contributions were made, subject to amounts being lawfully available to effect such return and subject to the right of the Company to retain reasonable reserves for contingencies, expenses and liabilities. Any such returned Capital Contributions shall remain available for recall by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the ManagementCo Shareholder may at any time without the consent of any Shareholder elect not to receive at the time otherwise provided therefor all or any portion of any distribution that otherwise would be made as a Class II Distribution. Any amount that is not distributed to the ManagementCo Shareholder due to the preceding sentence, in the ManagementCo Shareholder’s sole discretion, either shall be retained by the Company on behalf of the ManagementCo Shareholder or shall be distributed to the applicable Class I Shareholders. In making distributions to a Class I Shareholder of any amount pursuant to the preceding sentence, the ManagementCo Shareholder may apply such amount against distributions to such Class I Shareholder to which such Class I Shareholder is or becomes entitled under any subsection of Section 8.02 (including as a return of Capital Contributions made in respect of Investments, Management Fees and other Company Expenses, and/or a payment of the Priority Return), but treated as having been made on the actual date any such amount is distributed. If the ManagementCo Shareholder in its sole discretion so elects, and unless and except to the extent the ManagementCo Shareholder has waived its election right under this Section 8.03(f), all or any portion of subsequent distributions otherwise distributable to such Class I Shareholder may be distributed to the ManagementCo Shareholder until the ManagementCo Shareholder has received the amount of distributions it would have received had it not waived receipt of 35 any distributions pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.03(f). To the extent the ManagementCo Shareholder has elected not to receive all or any portion of any distribution that otherwise would be made as a Class II Distribution with respect to any Class I Shareholder in accordance with this Section 8.03(f), the ManagementCo Shareholder shall be under no obligation to waive or reduce distributions with respect to any other Shareholders. The ManagementCo Shareholder shall be authorized to make such determinations that the ManagementCo Shareholder in good faith believes to be reasonably necessary to give effect to any provision set forth in this Section 8.03(f) and to implement other provisions of this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 11.02) in a manner consistent with this Section 8.03(f). Section 8.04. Tax Distributions. To the extent of available cash as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Manager, and to amounts being lawfully available for the purpose, at the option of each Shareholder from time to time, the Company shall make distributions in cash to such Shareholder in an amount necessary to pay combined federal, state and local income tax, determined based on the Tax Rate, in respect of the net taxable income and gain allocated to such Shareholder in respect of any taxable year of the Company. For purposes of applying the other provisions of this Article 8, any distribution that is made pursuant to this Section 8.04 shall be treated as an advance against distributions otherwise to be made pursuant to the other provisions of this Article 8. Section 8.05. Other General Principles of Distribution. (a) Distributions of Cash. Subject to Section 8.05(c) and Section 11.01(b), and to amounts being lawfully available for the purpose, distributions of Proceeds shall be made as promptly as practicable after their receipt by the Company. All distributions pursuant to this Section 8.05(a) shall be made in immediately available funds in (x) U.S. dollars, except to the extent that distributions in U.S. dollars would be illegal or impracticable under Applicable Law, in which case, to such extent, distributions shall be made in the currency in which cash is received by the Company or (y) Marketable Securities. (b) Distributions in Kind. Prior to the commencement of the winding up of the Company, the Company shall not make any distributions in kind of securities unless such securities are Marketable Securities. Following the commencement of the winding up of the Company, subject to Section 11.01(b), the Company may distribute in kind any securities (whether or not Marketable Securities) or other property constituting all or any portion of an Investment in such amounts as the Company shall in its reasonable discretion determine. In any distribution of property in kind, the Company shall not discriminate among the Shareholders but shall in any such distribution (i) distribute to the Shareholders property of the same type and (ii) if cash and property in kind are to be distributed simultaneously in respect of any Investment, distribute cash and property in kind in the same proportion to each Shareholder. For purposes of distributions pursuant to Section 8.02 and allocations pursuant to Section 8.07, (A) Marketable Securities shall be valued at the average of their closing sale prices on the principal securities exchange on which such securities were traded on each trading day during the five trading day period ending immediately prior to such distribution, or if such securities are not primarily traded on a securities exchange, the five day average of their closing bid prices as shown by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or comparable established over-the- counter trading system consisting of the five trading day period immediately prior to such distribution and (B) all other property to be 36 distributed in kind shall be valued at the Fair Market Value thereof determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion on a date as near as reasonably practicable to the date of notice of such distribution. (c) Amounts Held in Reserve. Subject to Section 8.04, the Company shall have the right to retain up to $2,000,000,000 of amounts otherwise distributable by the Company to the Shareholders (“Distributable Amounts”); provided that, after the termination of the Commitment Period in accordance with the terms hereof, (i) the Company shall retain Distributable Amounts only in an amount not greater than the amount necessary to make such provision as the Manager deems necessary or advisable, in its reasonable discretion, for liabilities and obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the Company; provided, however that such liabilities and obligations shall not include the obligation to pay for the purchase price of Investments except pursuant to commitments of the Company in effect at such time; and (ii) any amount held by the Company as of the termination of the Commitment Period in excess of the amounts permitted to be retained pursuant to the preceding clause (i) shall be promptly distributed to the Shareholders. To the extent that any Investment is funded with Distributable Amounts retained by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.05(c), such Investment shall, for purposes of Section 8.02, be treated as the same Investment as the initial Investment whose realization resulted in such Distributable Amounts (or in the Distributable Amounts that were used to fund any intermediate Investment whose realization resulted in the Distributable Amounts used to fund such Investment). (d) Tax Withholding. The Company is authorized to pay or withhold and pay over to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or to any other relevant taxing authority, (i) such amounts as the Company is required to pay or withhold and pay over pursuant to the Code or any other Applicable Law in respect of any Shareholder (including (x) to satisfy any outstanding tax liability of a Shareholder or (y) any such amounts withheld against the Company with respect to a Shareholder), (ii) such portion of any amounts in connection with an audit for which the Company is liable and that the Manager determines, in its reasonable discretion, is attributable to such Shareholder or that result from such Shareholder’s status, actions or inactions, and (iii) any amounts that the Manager reasonably determines should be paid or withheld and paid by the Company pursuant to Section 1446(f) of the Code. The Manager shall allocate any such amounts paid or withheld and paid to the Shareholders in respect of whom such amount was paid or withheld and paid and shall treat such amounts as actually distributed to such Shareholders. To the extent any such payment or withholding exceeds any Shareholder’s share of distributions or proceeds, or to the extent the Manager fails for any reason to withhold any amounts required to be withheld as set forth in this Section 8.05(d), each Shareholder further agrees to indemnify the Company in full for any amounts required to be paid or withheld and paid in respect of or that is attributable to such Shareholder (including, without limitation, any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments), and each Shareholder shall promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Company pursuant to this Section 8.05 make a cash payment to the Company equal to the full amount to be indemnified. This Section 8.05(d) shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the dissolution of the Company and no current or former Shareholder shall be released from any obligations pursuant to this Section 8.05(d) as a result of any Transfer of its Company Securities (in whole or in part) or withdrawal from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Shareholder shall not be required to indemnify the Company, and the Manager shall instead indemnify the Company, with respect to such interest, penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts that are imposed 37 as a result of a failure by the Company to withhold tax with respect to such Shareholder due to the Manager’s fraud, willful misconduct or recklessness. (e) Excess Transaction Fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) any Excess Transaction Fees received by the Company (including any Excess Transaction Fees received by the Manager or any of its Affiliates and remitted to the Company) shall be distributed to the Class I-A Shareholder and (ii) any distributions of Excess Transaction Fees to the Class I-A Shareholder shall not be treated as having been made pursuant to Section 8.02 or 11.02 and shall not reduce the amounts that the holders of Class I Shares are entitled to receive pursuant to those Sections. (f) [Reserved.] (g) Optional Share Repurchase. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board in its discretion may elect to cause the Company to return amounts under this Article 8 to a Shareholder either (A) by distribution to such Shareholder or (B) by a repurchase of such Shareholder’s Class I and/or Class II Shares, as applicable, and in the case of any such repurchase, in a manner intended to result in economic consistency with the distribution provisions of Section 8.02 (where, for the avoidance of doubt, Comcast Shareholder and ManagementCo Shareholder shall receive proceeds in respect of any such repurchase equal to the amount such Shareholder would have been distributed pursuant to Section 8.02 with respect to the distribution event giving rise to such repurchase). (ii) In the event the Board elects with respect to any distribution event to cause amounts to be returned by a repurchase of Shares, the Board shall first cause to be calculated, in accordance with Section 8.02, the amounts to be returned to each Shareholder pursuant to each Distribution Tier (such calculated amount with respect to each Shareholder and each Distribution Tier, a “Distribution Tier Return Amount”), and based upon the Distribution Tier Return Amounts with respect to such distribution event, the Board shall cause to be calculated the applicable Asset Ratios. (iii) The Board shall then cause the Company to repurchase from each Shareholder otherwise entitled to receive a Distribution at such time, on a Repurchase Class-by-Repurchase Class basis, such number of Shares equal to (x) the Asset Ratio for the applicable Repurchase Class held by such Shareholder applied to (y) the total outstanding Shares of such Repurchase Class. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including this Section 8.05(g)(iii), if the application of this Section 8.05(g) to any Shareholder with respect to any distribution event would otherwise result in such Shareholder holding less than one whole Share of any class prior to the time at which such Shareholder would cease to have any future rights to distributions in respect of such class of Shares (determined as though this Section 8.05(g) were never included in this Agreement), then the number of Shares of such class repurchased from such Shareholder in connection with such distribution event shall be reduced as necessary to cause such Shareholder to retain one whole Share of such class. (iv) A repurchase of a Shareholder’s Class I Shares or Class II Shares shall otherwise be treated as a “distribution” hereunder, and the Board shall have the power and authority, without the consent of any Shareholder, to interpret in good faith any provision of this Agreement to give effect to the intent of this Section 8.05(g). For 38 the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any repurchase of Shares in accordance with this Section 8.05(g), amounts otherwise distributable to a Shareholder at any Distribution Tier shall be treated as a “distribution” in respect of such Distribution Tier. (h) Treatment of Amounts in Respect of Company Debt Expenses. (i) To the extent the Company utilizes Company Debt in lieu of Capital Contributions from any Shareholder to fund all or any portion of an Investment as contemplated by Section 6.02(c), then the Company shall allocate the Company Debt Expenses in respect of such Company Debt exclusively to such Shareholder who, as a result, was not required to make any such Capital Contributions. The amount of such Company Debt Expenses to be satisfied by a Shareholder shall be either retained by the Company from amounts otherwise distributable to such Shareholder (but shall be deemed distributed for all purposes of Articles 8 and 11), or called as Capital Contributions from such Shareholder pursuant to Section 6.02 (in which case, the amount of such Capital Contributions shall reduce the “Available Capital Commitment” of such Shareholder); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.02 or otherwise, all other Shareholders shall be entitled to an amount of distributions not less than the amount of distributions such Shareholders would have been entitled to if such Company Debt Expenses had not been incurred. (ii) To the extent the Company utilizes Company Debt in lieu of Capital Contributions to fund all or any portion of an Investment as contemplated by Section 6.02(c), a Shareholder shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to repay such Company Debt on the earlier of (x) the date a Capital Contribution to repay such Company Debt is actually made and (y) the date such Company Debt is repaid (if repaid other than through Capital Contributions). Section 8.06. Capital Account. There shall be established for each Shareholder on the books and records of the Company a capital account (a “Capital Account”), the balance of which shall initially be zero. It is intended that each Shareholder’s Capital Account shall be maintained at all times in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704 of the Code and applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder, and that the provisions hereof relating to the Capital Accounts shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. The Capital Account of each Shareholder shall be: (a) credited with the amount of cash contributed by such Shareholder, and if such Shareholder makes an in-kind contribution to the Company, with the Fair Market Value of the contributed property (net of any liabilities secured by such property that the Company assumes or to which such property is subject) as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion pursuant to Section 8.05(b)); (b) credited with any allocations of income and gain that are made to such Shareholder pursuant to this Article 8; (c) debited by any allocations of loss or deduction that are made to such Shareholder pursuant to this Article 8; and (d) debited by the amount of cash, the fair value of other property as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion, distributed by the Company to 39 such Shareholder (net of any liabilities of the Company assumed by such Shareholder and any liabilities to which such distributed property is subject). Section 8.07. Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, as of the last day of each fiscal period, the Company’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction for such period shall be allocated as follows: (a) Manager Expenses. of the Class I-A Shares. (i) Any items of loss or deduction that are attributable to the Management Fee shall be allocated to the holder (ii) Any items of loss or deduction that are attributable to Company Expenses funded by or for the account of any Shareholder in accordance with Section 6.02 (for the avoidance of doubt, not to include any Management Fee) shall be allocated to such Shareholder. (b) Profits and Losses. After giving effect to Section 8.07(a), Profits or Losses for such fiscal period (and, if necessary, items of income, gain, loss or deduction included in the determination thereof) shall be allocated among the Shareholders in a manner consistent with the corresponding distributions made or to be made pursuant to this Article 8. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any allocation pursuant to this Section 8.07(b) shall be made in a manner such that each Shareholder’s Capital Account balance, immediately after such allocation, is as nearly as possible (and proportionately as nearly as possible with respect to all Shareholders’ Capital Accounts) equal to (i) the distributions that would be made to such Shareholder pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8 if, immediately after such allocation, the Company were wound up, all of its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Values and its liabilities settled (limited, in the case of any nonrecourse liability to the Carrying Values of the assets securing such liability) and the remaining proceeds derived from the hypothetical sale of assets were distributed pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8, minus (ii) the amount that such Shareholder would be obligated to contribute to the Company in connection with such hypothetical liquidation, including any amount that ManagementCo Shareholder would be required to contribute to the Company pursuant to Section 11.02, and any amount that such Shareholder would be deemed, immediately prior to the Company’s hypothetical sale of assets, to be obligated to restore to the Company pursuant to the penultimate sentence of U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), plus (iii) in the case of a Class I-A Shareholder, the amount that would be distributable to such Class I-A Shareholder pursuant to Section 11.02 in connection with such hypothetical liquidation. Section 8.08. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.07, the following special allocations shall be made: (a) Minimum Gain Chargebacks. Items of Company income and gain shall be allocated among the Shareholders at such times and in such manner as may be necessary to satisfy the minimum gain chargeback requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4). (b) Qualified Income Offset. Items of Company income and gain shall be allocated at such times and in such manner as may be necessary to satisfy the “qualified income offset” requirement of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) (d). 40 (c) Nonrecourse Deductions. To the extent that the allocation of any “nonrecourse deductions” (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) would not otherwise satisfy the requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(e), such nonrecourse deductions shall be allocated in a manner that satisfies such requirements, as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion. (d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Shareholder has, or would otherwise have, a deficit Capital Account balance that is in excess of the amount such Shareholder is treated as being obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess shall be allocated to such Shareholder; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.08(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Shareholder would have such a deficit Capital Account balance after all other allocations provided for in this Article 8 have been made as if Section 8.08(b) and this Section 8.08(d) were not in this Agreement. (e) Curative Allocations. The allocations required pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 8.08 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) shall be taken into account for purposes of allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Shareholders so that each Shareholder’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Shareholder would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all allocations were made pursuant to Section 8.07. (f) The Manager is authorized to modify any and all of the allocation provisions under Sections 8.07 and 8.08 to the extent that, in the reasonable judgment of the Manager and based upon advice of tax advisors to the Manager, such modifications are necessary to reflect the economic entitlements of the Shareholders and to comply with Section 704 of the Code and applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Section 8.09. Revaluations. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the Manager may cause the Capital Accounts of the Shareholders to be adjusted to reflect the Fair Market Value of the Company’s assets at such time, as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion; provided that the Manager has received the prior written consent of Class I-A Shareholder to such revaluation. Section 8.10. Tax Allocations. (a) For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be allocated among the Shareholders as nearly as possible in the same manner as the corresponding items are allocated pursuant to the other provisions of this Article 8. (b) All items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Company asset that has a Carrying Value that differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated so as to take into account the variation between the Carrying Value and the adjusted tax basis in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder. Section 8.11. Change in Interests During a Tax Year. If any Shareholder’s interest in the Company changes during any Tax Year allocations pursuant to this 41 Article 8 shall be made in a manner that takes into account the varying interest of the Shareholders in the Company during such Tax Year, as required by Section 706(d) of the Code, under such method as the Manager may determine in its reasonable discretion; provided that the Manager shall cause the Company to adopt the “closing-of-the-books” method for the allocation of any items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to a Transfer pursuant to Section 5.03. ARTICLE 9 Right of First Offer Section 9.01. Right of First Offer. (a) If the Company desires to Transfer any Portfolio Company Securities or any other assets or any controlled Portfolio Company desires to transfer all or substantially all of its assets (collectively, including Portfolio Company Securities, “ROFO Assets”) to any Person (other than (i) the Transfer by the Company of Portfolio Company Securities and (ii) the Transfer by a Portfolio Company of assets that, in each case, have been pledged, encumbered or hypothecated to secure any Debt of the applicable Portfolio Company upon the exercise of remedies in respect thereof), the Company shall give notice (an “Offer Notice”) to Comcast Shareholder that the Company or such Portfolio Company desires to make such a Transfer and that sets forth the number and kind of ROFO Assets proposed to be Transferred by the Company or such Portfolio Company (the “Offered ROFO Assets”), the price at which the Company or such Portfolio Company proposes to Transfer such Offered ROFO Assets (the “Offer Price”) and any other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to give an Offer Notice to Comcast Shareholder with respect to (and Comcast Shareholder shall have no right under this Section 9.01 with respect to) the proposed Transfer of any Portfolio Company Securities if the Portfolio Company issuing such Portfolio Securities is not a Subsidiary of the Company (assuming solely for this purpose that the last sentence in the definition of the term “Subsidiary” in Section 1.01 were deleted) and the rights of Comcast under this Section 9.01 would be inconsistent with the terms of such Portfolio Securities or any contractual or other legally binding provision applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to such Portfolio Securities; provided, further, that in connection with an Investment in a Portfolio Company that is not a Subsidiary of the Company (assuming solely for this purpose that the last sentence in the definition of the term “Subsidiary” in Section 1.01 were deleted), if the Manager determines in its good faith discretion that it would be reasonably likely through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts to be able to make such Investment without accepting any such inconsistent terms or provisions so as to preserve Comcast Shareholder’s rights under this Section 9.01, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Investment without accepting any such inconsistent terms or provisions. (b) The giving of an Offer Notice to Comcast Shareholder shall constitute an offer (the “Offer”) by the Company or such Portfolio Company to Transfer all (but not less than all) of the Offered ROFO Assets to Comcast Shareholder or an Affiliate of Comcast Shareholder designated by Comcast Shareholder (“Comcast ROFO Purchaser”) for cash at the Offer Price applicable to such Offered ROFO Assets and otherwise on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice. Comcast ROFO Purchaser shall have a 30-day period (the “Offer Period”) in which to accept such Offer by giving a notice of acceptance to the Company prior to the expiration of such Offer Period. If Comcast ROFO Purchaser fails to notify the Company, prior to the expiration 42 of the Offer Period, of acceptance of the terms of the Offer, Comcast ROFO Purchaser shall be deemed to have declined the Offer with respect to such portion of the Offered ROFO Assets. (c) The Company shall provide, and shall cause any controlled Portfolio Company and use reasonable best efforts to cause any other Portfolio Company to provide, to Comcast ROFO Purchaser all information it may reasonably request in the course of determining whether to accept any Offer. (d) If Comcast ROFO Purchaser elects to purchase any Offered ROFO Assets, Comcast ROFO Purchaser shall purchase and pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, for such Offered ROFO Assets within 20 Business Days after the date on which Comcast ROFO Purchaser accepted the Offer pertaining to such Offered ROFO Assets; provided that, if the Transfer of such Offered ROFO Assets is subject to any prior regulatory approval, the time period during which such Transfer may be consummated shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals shall have been received; provided, further, that in lieu of a payment of cash by Comcast ROFO Purchaser with respect to such Offered ROFO Assets, at the written request of the Comcast ROFO Purchaser, Comcast ROFO Purchaser and the Company agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to devise and implement an alternative structure to Transfer such Offered ROFO Assets to Comcast ROFO Purchaser in a tax-efficient manner, provided such alternative structure places ManagementCo Shareholder in the same economic position (taking into account the tax consequences of the alternative structure as compared to the tax consequences of a payment of cash by Comcast ROFO Purchaser) as if Comcast ROFO Purchaser had purchased such Offered ROFO Assets in cash. Comcast ROFO Purchaser, the Company and all Shareholders of the Company shall cooperate, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Portfolio Company to cooperate, in good faith in implementing any alternative structure agreed to pursuant to this Section 9.01(d). (e) With respect to any Offered ROFO Assets, upon the earlier to occur of (i) rejection of the Offer pertaining to such Offered ROFO Assets by Comcast ROFO Purchaser and (ii) the ultimate failure to obtain any required consent or regulatory approval for the purchase of such Offered ROFO Assets by Comcast ROFO Purchaser, the Company or the applicable Portfolio Company shall have a 270-day period during which to effect a Transfer of such Offered ROFO Assets at a price not less than 95% of the Offer Price and otherwise on terms no less favorable to the Company or the applicable Portfolio Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice (other than in an immaterial respect); provided that, if the Company or the applicable Portfolio Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for the Transfer within such 270-day period and the Transfer is subject to regulatory approval, such 270-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals shall have been received, but in no event shall such regulatory extension exceed 120 days. If the Company or any Portfolio Company does not consummate the Transfer of any of the Offered ROFO Assets in accordance with the foregoing time limitations, then the right of the Company or such Portfolio Company to effect the Transfer of such Offered ROFO Assets pursuant to this Section 9.01(e) shall terminate and the Company and such Portfolio Company shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 9.01(e) with respect to any proposed Transfer of Offered ROFO Assets to any Person. 43 ARTICLE 10 Certain Covenants and Agreements Section 10.01.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that press releases issued by, or other public statements made by, the Company regarding matters in the ordinary course of the Company’s business (including any press releases or statements regarding acquisitions or dispositions of Investments, hiring of personnel and other similar matters) shall not be deemed to be a press release or other public statement with respect to the “transactions contemplated hereby” within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 10.03. Other Information and Assistance. If at any time the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries are or will be consolidated in Comcast’s statement of financial position (it being understood that the determination of whether the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries are so consolidated shall be made by Comcast in its sole judgment), the Company shall, shall cause its consolidated Subsidiaries to and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause Deloitte & Touche LLP or another firm of independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing to provide all other financial information and assistance as reasonably requested by Comcast for purposes of preparing such consolidated financial statements and management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and complying with Comcast’s related obligations under Applicable Law, including the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

Section 10.05. Business Opportunity. The Company and each of the Shareholders recognize and acknowledge that (x) the Company, Comcast Shareholder and their Affiliates engage, or intend to engage, in a wide variety of activities, (y) some of these activities presently or may in the future involve the participation in businesses and activities that may be similar to those of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Portfolio Companies, on the one hand, or Comcast Shareholder and its Affiliates, on the other hand, and (z) subject to the 47 terms of this Agreement, it is critical that the Company, Comcast Shareholder and their Affiliates be permitted to continue to develop their current and future business and investment activities without any restriction. In light of the foregoing considerations, the Company and each of the Shareholders acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, except as otherwise provided in Article 4 or Section 10.18, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Company or any Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in Article 4 or Section 10.18, (x) no Shareholder nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the Company or any Portfolio Company or developing or marketing any products or services that compete, directly or indirectly, with those of the Company or any Portfolio Company, (ii) investing or owning any interest publicly or privately in, or developing a business relationship with, any Person engaged in the same or similar activities or lines of business as, or otherwise in competition with, the Company or any Portfolio Company or (iii) employing or otherwise engaging a former officer or employee of the Company or any Portfolio Company and (y) neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as any Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or developing or marketing any products or services that compete, directly or indirectly, with those of any Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or (ii) investing or owning any interest publicly or privately in, or developing a business relationship with, any Person engaged in the same or similar activities or lines of business as, or otherwise in competition with, any Shareholder or any of its Affiliates. (b) Notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, except as otherwise provided in Article 4 or Section 10.18, if the Company or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries or Portfolio Companies, or Comcast Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a business opportunity for both the Company or its Affiliates, Subsidiaries or Portfolio Companies, on the one hand, and Comcast Shareholder or its Affiliates, on the other hand, neither the Company or any such Affiliate, Subsidiary or Portfolio Company of the Company, nor Comcast Shareholder or any such Affiliate of Comcast Shareholder, as the case may be, shall have a duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the other, and neither the Company or any such Affiliate, Subsidiary or Portfolio Company of the Company, nor Comcast Shareholder or any such Affiliate of Comcast Shareholder, as the case may be, shall be liable to the other in respect of any such matter (including for any breach of fiduciary or other duties) by reason of the fact that the Company or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries or Portfolio Companies, or Comcast Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, pursues or acquires such business opportunity for itself. Section 10.06. Indemnification; Exculpation; Advancement of Expenses. (a) The Company shall indemnify, and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all damage, loss, liability and expense (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Party before, on or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of any actual or threatened action, cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim arising directly or indirectly out of such Indemnified Party’s or any related Indemnified Party’s ownership of Company Securities, status as a 48 shareholder or Manager, actual, alleged or deemed control or ability to influence the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Portfolio Companies or actual or alleged act or omission in connection with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the direct or indirect Investments or prospective Investments or other business, activities, operations or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any such Indemnified Liabilities in respect of any act or omission constituting fraud, willful misconduct or recklessness), including with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, any act or omission taken by such Indemnified Party without reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful and including any Indemnified Liabilities arising under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; provided that if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.06(a), no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification or contribution under this Section 10.06(a) in respect of any Indemnified Liabilities consisting of an investment or other loss in respect of any Company Assets or otherwise attributable to any such loss (including any diminution in the value of the investment of a Shareholder in the Company). Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to limit (i) a Shareholder’s right to make any claim in respect of any investment or other loss in respect of any Company Assets that such Shareholder would be entitled to make if the immediately preceding sentence was not included in this Agreement and such Shareholder was not an Indemnified Party or (ii) each Manager Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification or contribution pursuant to Section 10.06(a) in respect of any Indemnified Liabilities consisting of any other Person’s (including any other Manager Indemnified Party’s) investment or other loss in respect of any Company Assets or otherwise attributable to any such loss. (b) The right to indemnification conferred in Section 10.06(a) shall also include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such action, cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law; provided that the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of an action, cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it shall be determined by a court or other tribunal of proper jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under Section 10.06(a). (c) Each Indemnified Party may consult with recognized, outside legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors selected by the Company; and any action or omission taken or suffered in good faith in reliance and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel, accountants or other professional advisors (which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be an opinion or advice within such advisor’s professional competence) shall be conclusive evidence that such action or omission did not constitute fraud, willful misconduct or recklessness, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, was taken or suffered without reasonable cause to believe such Indemnified Party’s conduct was unlawful. Unless there is a specific finding of fraud, willful misconduct, recklessness or reasonable cause by a party to believe that such 49 party’s conduct was unlawful (or where such a finding is an essential element of a judgment or order), the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or settlement, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption for purposes of Section 10.06(a) that the party in question acted fraudulently, engaged in willful misconduct, was reckless, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such party’s conduct was unlawful. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.06, if an Indemnified Party may be entitled to be indemnified by a Portfolio Company, is insured by an insurer providing insurance coverage under an insurance policy issued to such Portfolio Company and/or may be entitled to be indemnified by any Upper Tier Indemnitor for any damages, losses, liabilities or expenses as to which such Indemnified Party also would be entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.06 (i) it is intended that as among such Upper Tier Indemnitor, the Company, and such Portfolio Company and its insurer, such Portfolio Company and its insurer will be the full indemnitor (or insurer) of first resort, the Company will be the full indemnitor of second resort, and such Upper Tier Indemnitor will be the full indemnitor of third resort for any such damages, losses, liabilities or expenses; (ii) any amount that the Company is otherwise obligated to pay with respect to indemnification or advancement for such liabilities, expenses or losses will be reduced by the amount such Indemnified Party receives in respect of such indemnification, advancement or insurance from such Portfolio Company and/or its insurer; (iii) the Indemnified Party will not be required first to exhaust rights or remedies with respect to indemnification, advancement or insurance provided by such Portfolio Company and/or its insurer before the Company makes any payment to such Indemnified Party; (iv) if such Portfolio Company or its insurer does not promptly pay such indemnification, advancement or insurance to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party for any reason, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to pursue any rights to advancement or indemnification hereunder (subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Section 10.06); and (v) if the Company indemnifies, or advances payment for expenses to, such Indemnified Party with respect to any damages, losses, liabilities or expenses, and such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance from such Portfolio Company or its insurer, the Company may request that such Indemnified Party agree with the Company that (x) the Company will be fully subrogated to all rights of such Indemnified Party to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance from such Portfolio Company and its insurer with respect to such payment; (y) such Indemnified Party will assign to the Company all of the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance from such Portfolio Company and its insurer; and (z) such Indemnified Party will execute all documents and take all other actions appropriate to effectuate the foregoing clauses (x) and (y). For purposes of this Section 10.06, the term “Upper Tier Indemnitor” means the Manager, ManagementCo Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates, other than the Company or any Portfolio Company. In addition, solely for the purposes of this Section 10.06, the term “Portfolio Company” shall include the Person which is the Portfolio Company in accordance with the definition of such term set forth in Section 1.01 of this Agreement and each Subsidiary of such Person and any Affiliate of such Person which is controlled by such Person. (e) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Company or its Subsidiaries or any other Shareholder for any actual or alleged act or omission arising directly or indirectly out of such Indemnified Party’s or 50 any other Indemnified Party’s ownership of Company Securities, status as a shareholder or Manager, actual, alleged or deemed control or ability to influence the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Portfolio Companies or actual or alleged act or omission in connection with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the direct or indirect Investments or prospective Investments or other business, activities, operations or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any such liabilities in respect of any act or omission constituting fraud, willful misconduct or recklessness), including with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, any act or omission taken by such Indemnified Party without reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 10.06(e) shall not relieve any Indemnified Party for such Indemnified Party’s contractual obligations to the Company as set forth in this Agreement or such Indemnified Party’s contractual obligations to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any Shareholder set forth in any other agreement to which any Indemnified Party may now be or in the future become party to with the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any Shareholder. (f) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Indemnified Party has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Shareholders, none of the Manager, the ManagementCo Shareholder or any other Manager Indemnified Party acting in connection with the business or affairs of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be liable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Shareholder for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of any Manager Indemnified Party otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Shareholders to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Manager Indemnified Party. (g) The rights of any Indemnified Party to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnified Party is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under Applicable Law or under the Memorandum and Articles of Association or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents of any of the Subsidiaries of the Company or any other Person. The provisions of this Section 10.06 shall continue to afford protection to each Indemnified Party in respect of any act or omissions occurring while such Indemnified Party occupied the position or had the capacity pursuant to which such Indemnified Party became entitled to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses under this Section 10.06 regardless of whether such Indemnified Party remains in such position or capacity and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement. No amendment to this Agreement shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these indemnification, exculpation and advancement provisions apply to actions or omissions occurring prior to the date of such amendment. The provisions of this Section 10.06 shall inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Indemnified Parties, and the provisions of and rights under this Section 10.06 shall survive the winding up and termination of the Company. (h) Each of the Indemnified Parties shall be a third party beneficiary of the rights conferred to such Indemnified Party in this Section 10.06.

Section 10.07. Co-Investors. (a) If the Manager determines that it would be advisable to include any co-investors in connection with any Investment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any equity investment in a Portfolio Company after the Company’s initial Investment in such Portfolio Company) (any such co-investment opportunity, a “Co-Investment Opportunity”), it shall offer such Co-Investment Opportunity to Comcast Shareholder or an Affiliate of Comcast Shareholder designated by Comcast Shareholder prior to offering such Co-Investment Opportunity to any other Person; provided, however, that in the event the Manager determines that it would be advisable to include in respect of any Co-Investment Opportunity one or more strategic co- investors, it may offer up to 50% of any such Co-Investment Opportunity to such strategic co-investor(s), with the balance of such Co-Investment Opportunity offered to Comcast Shareholder or its designated Affiliate; provided, further, that (i) in no event shall the Manager offer all or any portion of any Co-Investment Opportunity in the United States to any person set forth on Schedule IV (each Person set forth on Schedule IV, a “Prohibited Co-Investor”), regardless of whether such Co-Investment Opportunity is first offered to Comcast Shareholder or its designated Affiliate and (ii) the Manager shall only offer all or any portion of any Co-Investment Opportunity not in the United States to a Prohibited Co-Investor if such Co-Investment Opportunity is first offered to Comcast Shareholder or its designated Affiliate and such Persons decline to accept any portion of such Co-Investment Opportunity. (b) Notwithstanding Section 10.07(a), prior to offering all or any portion of a Co-Investment Opportunity to Comcast Shareholder (or any permissible strategic co-investor), the Manager may offer such Co-Investment Opportunity to (i) rollover investors, (ii) management investors and (iii) bona fide sources of financing; provided that, in the case of this clause (iii), (A) such financing source customarily provides financing of the type comprising such Co-Investment Opportunity, (B) the type of financing being provided by such financing source and comprising such Co-Investment Opportunity customarily includes an equity component and (C) such financing source is not a Prohibited Co-Investor. (c) The procedures set forth in Section 9.01 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any offer of a Co-Investment Opportunity to Comcast Shareholder; provided that, in the event that it is not commercially practicable under the circumstances for Comcast Shareholder to have 30 days to accept such offer, then Comcast Shareholder shall have such amount of time to accept such offer as determined by the Manager and set forth in the offer notice, but not less than 10 Business Days. 52 Section 10.08. Additional Comcast Rights. In the event that Comcast determines, in its good faith judgment, that (i) the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries will be consolidated in Comcast’s statement of financial position and (ii) such consolidation is resulting or would be reasonably likely to result in significant adverse consequences to Comcast (including, by way of example, adverse impacts on Comcast’s credit rating or borrowing terms): (a) if the Company is not then and is not reasonably likely to become an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as determined in good faith by the Manager), (x) Comcast will be permitted to effect a spinoff of its interest in the Company to Comcast shareholders provided that the spinoff entity has the financial wherewithal to meet its obligations under this Agreement, it being understood that (A) ManagementCo Shareholder will not be obligated to agree to changes to its governance or economic rights set forth in this Agreement and the Manager will not be obligated to agree to changes to its governance or economic rights set forth in the Management Agreement, (B) the rights of Comcast Shareholder pursuant to Article 9 shall be retained by Comcast Shareholder post-spinoff but shall apply only to assets held by the Company at the time of the spinoff and not to subsequently acquired assets and (C) Comcast will not be permitted to effect a spinoff if the consummation of the spinoff would, or would be reasonably likely to, result in any significant adverse consequences to the Company, ManagementCo Shareholder or the Manager (with the sole fact of the creation of the new public company itself not constituting such a significant adverse effect), and (y) the Company, ManagementCo Shareholder and the Manager will cooperate with Comcast to facilitate such a spinoff; (b) if the Company is then such an “investment company” or is reasonably likely to become such an “investment company” (as determined in good faith by the Manager), ManagementCo Shareholder, the Manager and the Company will use their good faith efforts (in collaboration with Comcast) to determine whether there are reasonable available actions that can be taken to address the adverse consequences affecting Comcast (but, for the avoidance of doubt, in such circumstances, it shall not be considered reasonable to effect a spinoff of the type referenced in clause (a) or any alternative public offering unless other reasonable actions are available so that, in the good faith judgment of the Manager, the Company will not, at the time of any such spinoff or alternative public offering, be or be reasonably likely to become an “investment company”) and, if such available actions are determined to exist and Comcast wishes to pursue such course of action, ManagementCo Shareholder, the Manager and the Company will take such actions; provided that, in connection with the taking of any such action, ManagementCo Shareholder will not be obligated to agree to any changes to its governance or economic rights set forth in this Agreement, the Manager will not be obligated to agree to any changes to its governance or economic rights set forth in the Management Agreement and neither ManagementCo Shareholder nor the Manager will be obligated to pursue any action that would, or would be reasonably likely to, result in any other significant adverse consequences to the Company, ManagementCo Shareholder or the Manager; and (c) if Comcast elects to pursue the action described below in this clause (c) in preference to any available action under clause (a) or clause (b) or if there is no such other available action, Comcast will be permitted to Transfer up to 40% of the Comcast Rights and Obligations to a third party, with the transferee subject to the Board’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that, except as specified below, the Board shall not be entitled to withhold or delay its consent if the proposed transferee 53 is a bona fide financial institution or investment firm or fund of national standing with the financial wherewithal to meet its related financial obligations (i.e., Capital Commitment, Capital Contributions and Management Fee); provided, further, that in all cases, the Board shall be entitled to withhold its consent if the transfer would result in, or be reasonably likely to result in, significant adverse consequences to the Company, ManagementCo Shareholder or the Manager with respect to regulatory, legal, tax or similar matters. Any Person to whom Comcast Transfers Comcast Rights and Obligations as permitted by this Section 10.08(c) shall be deemed to be (i) a “Shareholder” for all purposes hereof and (ii) “Comcast Shareholder”, a “holder of Class I Shares” and a “holder of Class I-A Shares” to the extent of the transfer of Comcast Rights and Obligations pursuant to this Section 10.08(c), and shall execute a joinder to this Agreement in a form to be reasonably agreed by Comcast and the Company. Section 10.09. Advisory Board. In the event the Company forms an advisory board in the future (the “Advisory Board”), such Advisory Board will advise the Company and consult with the Manager on such matters relating to the business of the Company and the Portfolio Companies or this Agreement as the Manager may determine from time to time or any member of the Advisory Board may reasonably propose to the Manager; provided that any actions taken by the Advisory Board shall be advisory only, and neither the Company nor the Manager shall be required or otherwise bound to act in accordance with any such actions. The Comcast Chief Executive Officer (or a designee acceptable to the Manager) will be entitled to serve on any such Advisory Board. The Advisory Board shall otherwise consist of individuals selected by the Manager, in its reasonable discretion. Section 10.10. Comcast Executive Committee.

Comcast will provide or cause to be provided certain (to be mutually agreed) administrative services to the Company, ManagementCo Shareholder and the Manager on arm’s-length terms pursuant to an administrative services agreement entered into among Comcast, the Management Shareholder and the Manager. Section 10.12. Non-solicitation; Non-hire. Each of the Company, ManagementCo Shareholder and the Manager agrees that, without Comcast Shareholder’s prior written consent, it will not, and will cause its Affiliates (and, in the case of the Company, its controlled Portfolio Companies and their respective Subsidiaries solely to the extent any such Portfolio Company or Subsidiary of a Portfolio Company is acting in concert with the Company, ManagementCo Shareholder or the Manager) not to, solicit for employment or employ any current or former senior employee of Comcast or any of its Affiliates; provided that this Section 10.12 shall not prohibit any such Person from (i) conducting a general solicitation or advertisement that is not directed at employees of Comcast or any of its Affiliates; provided that this clause (i) shall not permit the employment of any individuals who respond to such solicitation or advertisement; (ii) soliciting for employment or employing any individuals who have not been employed by Comcast or any of its Affiliates for a period of six months prior to the date such 54 individuals were first solicited for employment; (iii) soliciting for employment or employing any individuals whose employment with Comcast or any of its Affiliates is terminated by Comcast or any of its Affiliates without cause; or (iv) responding to unsolicited inquiries regarding employment; provided that this clause (iv) shall not permit the employment of any individuals making such unsolicited inquiries. Section 10.13. Accountants. The Company agrees that Deloitte & Touche LLP will be appointed as initial independent certified public accountant for the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries; provided that the Manager may thereafter appoint as independent certified public accountant for the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries another of the “big four” nationally recognized independent public accounting firms if the Manager determines in its reasonable discretion that the pricing or services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP are not satisfactory. Section 10.14. FCC Order. The Company acknowledges that it has received and reviewed that certain Memorandum Opinion and Order of the Federal Communications Commission (In the Matter of Applications of Comcast Corporation, General Electric Company and NBC Universal, Inc.) as adopted on January 18, 2011 (the “FCC Order”), has had the opportunity to discuss the FCC Order with counsel, and understands that the FCC Order may subject the Company, its Subsidiaries and Portfolio Companies, and their respective businesses to certain conditions or requirements. The Company (i) shall comply with any and all applicable conditions or requirements set forth in the FCC Order, and (ii) shall cause each of its Covered Subsidiaries to contractually agree to comply with, and to comply with, any and all applicable conditions or requirements set forth in the FCC Order. “Covered Subsidiaries” means each of the Company’s Subsidiaries and Portfolio Companies that is an Affiliate (as defined in the FCC Order) of Comcast or NBCUniversal Media LLC. Section 10.15. Non-Affiliation of Comcast and the Company. Each of the parties acknowledges that Comcast Shareholder does not possess, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company or any of its Affiliates and that, accordingly, where the term “affiliate” is based on the existence of a control relationship, (i) neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates is an “affiliate” of Comcast Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or has the authority to bind Comcast Shareholder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) neither Comcast Shareholder nor any of its Affiliates is an “affiliate” of the Company or any of its Affiliates or has the authority to bind the Company or any of its Affiliates. Comcast Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will at all times act (and cause their Affiliates to act) in a manner consistent with the foregoing principle, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any controlled Portfolio Companies to act in a manner consistent with the foregoing principle. Section 10.16. [Reserved.] Section 10.17. Manager and ManagementCo Shareholder Actions Requiring Consent.

(b) In the event that Comcast Shareholder determines not to grant its consent to a proposed action pursuant to Section 10.17(a), the Manager and Comcast Shareholder shall discuss the reasons for such withholding of consent and will consider in good faith whether there are alternative approaches that might address Comcast Shareholder’s concerns while permitting (a possibly modified version of) the proposed action to go forward. Section 10.18. Exclusivity. The Manager agrees that, for the term of the Management Agreement, the Manager will not have investment advisory or similar arrangements with any Persons other than the Company. Section 10.19. Certain Tax Matters. (a) (i) The Manager shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all tax returns required to be filed for each Company Entity; provided, however, that prior to the filing of any federal income tax return of any Company Entity (including such Company Entity’s Internal Revenue Service Form 1065, if applicable), any material foreign, state or local income tax return of a Company Entity, or any material franchise tax return of a Company Entity, Comcast Shareholder shall be entitled to review and consult with the applicable Company Entity, as appropriate, with respect to such tax returns, which shall be provided to Comcast Shareholder no less than 60 days prior to the applicable due date. Comcast Shareholder shall have the right to dispute any such tax return provided to Comcast Shareholder with respect to any significant issue or item. If Comcast Shareholder disputes any such tax return by delivering a written notice thereof to the Manager, within 30 days following receipt of such tax return, Comcast Shareholder, the Company and the Manager shall, and the Manager shall cause the relevant Company Entity to, use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within 10 days following receipt of a written notice of a dispute from Comcast Shareholder, the dispute shall be referred to a firm of independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing and with relevant expertise, mutually acceptable to the applicable Company Entity and Comcast Shareholder. Such accounting firm shall use commercially reasonable effort to resolve the dispute prior to the due date of the disputed tax return, and such accounting firm’s conclusions shall be binding on the relevant Company Entity and Comcast Shareholder. If such accounting firm cannot resolve the dispute prior to the due date of the disputed tax return, such tax return will be filed as originally proposed by the relevant Company Entity, and the applicable Company Entity shall file an amended tax return, within 10 days of such accounting firm’s resolution, reflecting the conclusion of such accounting firm. Any incremental out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Company Entity or the Manager relating to Comcast 56 Shareholder’s dispute of any tax return, including the fees and expenses of the accounting firm’s review of any dispute with respect to a tax return, shall be reimbursed by Comcast Shareholder. The Company, the Manager and Comcast Shareholder shall work together in good faith to procure that any such expenses (and any other incremental out-of-pocket expenses that are to be reimbursed by Comcast Shareholder pursuant to any provision of this Section 10.19) are reasonable in amount. (ii) At the request of Comcast Shareholder, the Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide information reasonably requested by Comcast Shareholder for purposes of determining whether a Controlled Portfolio Company is required by Applicable Law to be included with Comcast or any of its Affiliates in a combined, consolidated or unitary tax return (for the avoidance of doubt, other than by reason of an allocation of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit on a “pass through” basis for income tax purposes) (any such tax return, a “Comcast Group Tax Return”) for any taxable period. Any incremental out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company, the Manager, or the Controlled Portfolio Company as a result of Comcast Shareholder’s request pursuant to this Section 10.19(a)(ii) shall be reimbursed by Comcast Shareholder. (iii) In the event that Comcast or any of its Affiliates is required by Applicable Law to include any Company Entity in a combined, consolidated or unitary tax return (for the avoidance of doubt, other than by reason of an allocation of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit on a “pass through” basis for income tax purposes) (any such tax return, a “Comcast Group Tax Return”) for any taxable period, the tax liability of such Company Entity and its Subsidiaries for each such taxable period will be determined on a hypothetical separate tax return basis as if such Company Entity and its Subsidiaries had never been included in any such Comcast Group Tax Return (such tax liability of such Company Entity and its Subsidiaries, the “Company Entity Hypothetical Tax Liability”). If the Company Entity Hypothetical Tax Liability with respect to a taxable period is positive, Comcast shall pay such amount on behalf of such Company Entity, and the Manager shall cause such Company Entity to reimburse Comcast for such amount within 10 days of Comcast’s payment. If the Company Entity Hypothetical Tax Liability with respect to a taxable period is negative, such amount shall carry forward to successive taxable periods and shall reduce the Company Entity Hypothetical Tax Liability for such taxable periods; provided, however, if the aggregate amount of Company Entity Hypothetical Tax Liabilities of such Company Entity for prior taxable periods is positive, Comcast shall pay to such Company Entity an amount equal to the reduction in the tax liability of Comcast or its Affiliates attributable to any Tax Attribute of such Company Entity (“Tax Loss Payment”); provided further that (I) the amount of Tax Loss Payment Comcast is required to make to such Company Entity shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Company Entity Hypothetical Tax Liabilities paid by such Company Entity to Comcast for prior taxable periods, (II) Comcast is required to make a Tax Loss Payment only if, and to the extent that, the actual tax liability of such Company Entity on a hypothetical separate tax return basis would have been reduced due to such Tax Attribute and (III) the Company Entity Hypothetical Tax Liabilities for prior taxable periods shall be reduced to reflect any Tax Loss Payment made by Comcast. In no event shall Comcast be required to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes) to such Company Entity. (b) The Manager may cause any Company Entity to make, or refrain from making, any tax elections as it determines in its reasonable discretion, including, without limitation, the election under Section 754 of the Code; provided, however, that (i) prior to 57 making any material election with respect to any Company Entity, the Manager shall consult with Comcast Shareholder in good faith and the Manager shall cause any Company Entity not to make any material election that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Comcast Shareholder relative to any other Shareholder without the consent of Comcast Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (ii) at the request of Comcast Shareholder and to the extent available under Applicable Law, the Manager shall cause a Company Entity to make an election so that such Company Entity would not be included in a combined, consolidated or unitary tax return with Comcast or any of its Affiliates or under a group relief regime with Comcast or any of its Affiliates; (iii) the Manager shall not make an election under Section 1101(g)(4) of the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015” to apply the Partnership Audit Reform Rules prior to its effective date provided under Section 1101(g)(1) of the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015”; (iv) on or after the effective date of the Partnership Audit Reform Rules and to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, at the request of Comcast Shareholder, Manager shall cause any applicable Company Entity to file an election pursuant to Section 6221(b), as promulgated under the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015;” and (v) the Manager shall cause the Company to elect to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes by timely filing Internal Revenue Service Form 8832 and any comparable tax form under applicable provisions of state or local law, and shall refrain from taking any actions inconsistent with its treatment as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes. (c) (i) The Company shall, and the Manager shall cause each Comcast Investment Vehicle to, deliver, no later than five Business Days after the filing of the appropriate income tax returns by the Company or applicable Comcast Investment Vehicle, to each Shareholder a Schedule K-1 showing such Shareholder’s share of income, loss, deductions, gain and credits; provided that the Company shall, and the Manager shall cause each Comcast Investment Vehicle to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide estimates of the information to be set forth on such Schedule K-1 no later than 60 days after the end of each Tax Year but in no event later than 90 days after the end of each Tax Year. Each Shareholder agrees that such Shareholder shall not treat any item of income, gain, loss or any other Company or Alternative Investment Vehicle item on such Shareholder’s tax return in a manner which is inconsistent with the treatment of such item on the Company’s or applicable Alternative Investment Vehicle’s tax return (for the avoidance of doubt, as amended to reflect the resolution of an accounting firm pursuant to Section 10.19(a)(i)). The Company shall, and the Manager shall cause each Comcast Investment Vehicle to, deliver to Comcast Shareholder estimates of the information necessary for Comcast to determine its estimated taxes payable with respect to a Tax Quarter attributable to Comcast Shareholder’s interest in the Company or a Comcast Investment Vehicle, no later than 30 days after the end of such Tax Quarter; provided, however, that the Company and the Manager shall only be required to provide such information with respect to a tax year for which the aggregate amount of income, or aggregate amount of loss, allocated to Comcast Shareholder is expected to be significant; provided further that any incremental out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Company Entity or the Manager in connection with the preparation of information for Comcast Shareholder pursuant to this sentence shall be reimbursed by Comcast Shareholder. For the avoidance of doubt, any expenses with respect to the preparation and filing of the tax returns for the Company or Comcast Investment Vehicle, including Schedule K-1 provided to the Shareholders, are Manager Expenses pursuant to Section 7.01. 58 (ii) The Manager and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, at the reasonable request of a Shareholder, such other information as is required for the preparation of its tax returns, including, if requested, state apportionment information. At the request of any Shareholder, the Manager and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to such Shareholder such information as may be necessary for such Shareholder to file its Schedule UTP and similar other statements or returns that are required to be filed by such Shareholder as a result of its holding of Company Securities. Any incremental out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Manager, the Company, a Comcast Investment Vehicle, or their Subsidiaries or any Portfolio Company as a result of a request from a Shareholder pursuant to this Section 10.19(c)(ii) shall be reimbursed by such Shareholder. (iii) The Manager agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify a Shareholder in writing upon becoming aware of any tax filing, reporting or withholding obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts withheld or paid with respect to the Shareholder) and the availability of any refunds or exemptions from withholding, in each case with respect to the Shareholder’s interest in the Company. In the event of any imposition by any governmental authority within the jurisdictions in which the Company makes its investments of any income tax liability on a Shareholder’s share of the Company’s income or of any tax liability arising out of a Shareholder’s interest in the Company, in each case, on a net income basis, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Shareholder with sufficient information so as to permit the Shareholder to claim any deduction or credit with respect to such taxes and to complete all requisite tax forms, reports or filings. In addition, if requested in writing by a Shareholder, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain on behalf of the Shareholder, or to assist the Shareholder in obtaining, any available tax refunds or exemptions from withholding tax arising out of the Shareholder’s interest in the Company. Any incremental out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Company Entity, Portfolio Company or the Manager as a result of a request from a Shareholder pursuant to this Section 10.19(c)(iii) shall be reimbursed by such Shareholder. (d) (i) ManagementCo Shareholder is hereby designated as the Company’s “tax matters partner” under Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (as in effect prior to amendment by the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015”) or any comparable law (the “Tax Matters Partner”), with all powers and responsibilities of a “tax matters partner” as defined in Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code (as in effect prior to amendment by the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015”) or any comparable law and (ii) ManagementCo Shareholder (or such other Person designated by ManagementCo Shareholder) is hereby designated as the Company’s “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code or any comparable law (the “Partnership Representative”), and, in each case, is granted the corresponding designation under any similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. law. ManagementCo Shareholder shall also be authorized to appoint, and shall appoint, a natural person to serve as the “designated individual”, within the meaning of Sections 6221 through 6242 of the Code together with any Regulations and guidance issued thereunder (the “Designated Individual”), to act on behalf of the Partnership Representative. The Tax Matters Partner or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall act in good faith in fulfilling its responsibilities. In the event that the Tax Matters Partner, the Partnership Representative or the relevant Company Entity is notified (in writing) by a taxing authority that the relevant Company Entity is the subject of an audit or examination by a taxing authority of any federal income, material foreign, state or local income, or material franchise tax return (a “Tax Contest”), the Tax Matters Partner 59 or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall promptly provide to the Shareholders a written notice informing the Shareholders that the applicable Company Entity is the subject of a Tax Contest, shall keep the Shareholders reasonably informed of material developments relating to such audit or examination and shall permit Comcast Shareholder to participate in the conduct and settlement of any proceeding with respect to any Tax Contest (it being understood that ManagementCo Shareholder shall retain control of the conduct and settlement of any such Tax Contest except to the extent of the consent right of Comcast Shareholder specified in the immediately succeeding sentence). The Tax Matters Partner or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall not agree to any settlement, resolution or closing or other agreement with respect to a Tax Contest involving any significant issue or item without the consent of Comcast Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Expenses of any administrative proceedings undertaken by the Tax Matters Partner or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall be Company Expenses other than incremental out-of-pocket expenses of Manager or any Company Entity relating to Comcast Shareholder’s exercise of its consent right hereunder, which expenses shall be reimbursed by Comcast Shareholder, and the expenses of Comcast Shareholder in exercising its participation rights hereunder, which shall be borne by Comcast Shareholder. (e) The Manager shall not cause the Company, any Comcast Investment Vehicle and their Subsidiaries to engage, and the Manager shall not knowingly cause any other Company Entity to engage, directly or indirectly, in a transaction that, as of the date the Company Entity enters into a binding contract to engage in such transaction, is a “listed transaction” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2). The Manager will undertake reasonable due diligence to determine whether any transaction to be engaged in by any Company Entity is a “listed transaction” or a “prohibited reportable transaction” as defined in Section 4965(e)(1)(C) of the Code. If the Manager has knowledge that any Company Entity has engaged directly or indirectly in a transaction that is a “listed transaction” or a “prohibited reportable transaction”, it shall (i) promptly notify the Shareholders of such determination and (ii) provide each Shareholder with any requested information needed by such Shareholder to fulfill its reporting or disclosure obligations in respect of such transaction. (f) The Manager may, in its reasonable discretion, take any steps that it deems necessary or advisable to cause the Company to comply with the tax laws of non-U.S. jurisdictions. Section 10.20. Tax Year. The Company shall elect the calendar year as its taxable year (“Tax Year”), unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. Section 10.21. Portfolio Company Debt. The Company will not permit any controlled Portfolio Companies to incur, create, issue, assume or guarantee any Debt unless such Debt is Non-Recourse to Comcast, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts in structuring any such Debt to minimize the amount of any income inclusion by a Shareholder relating to such Debt pursuant to Section 956 of the Code. Section 10.22. Comcast Securities. The Company agrees that it will not acquire, directly or through any Alternative Investment Vehicle or controlled Portfolio Company, any equity securities or equity-related securities (including preferred equity, convertible debt or similar securities) or debt securities issued by 60 Comcast or any of its Affiliates or Comcast Permitted Spin Transferee or any of its Affiliates. ARTICLE 11 Winding-Up and Dissolution of the Company Section 11.01. Winding-Up of the Company. (a) Subject to Applicable Law, the Company’s affairs shall be wound up upon the earliest of: (i) the unanimous agreement of the Shareholders; (ii) the election by Comcast Shareholder or ManagementCo Shareholder, with effect only after the termination of the Commitment Period (taking into account any extension or early termination thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement); (iii) at Comcast Shareholder’s election, the third anniversary of the occurrence of an Initial CEO Event (provided that, if at any time during such three year period, neither Alexander D. Evans nor David L. Caplan is serving in a senior management role with respect to the Company with responsibilities at least comparable to their responsibilities on the Commencement Date, Comcast Shareholder may elect to require that the Company be wound up commencing at such time as neither of such individuals is serving in such capacity); and “Wind-Up Event”). (iv) at Comcast Shareholder’s election, the occurrence of a Cause Event (each of clauses (i) through (iv), a (b) Subject to Article 9, upon the occurrence of a Wind-Up Event, the Manager shall be the liquidator to wind-up the affairs of the Company and shall conduct an orderly disposition of the assets of the Company, including Portfolio Company Securities (collectively, “Company Assets”), in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Company, taking into account market conditions and legal and contractual considerations. The Manager shall determine in its reasonable discretion which Company Assets shall be sold and which Company Assets shall be retained for distribution in kind to the Shareholders. The Manager shall consider in good faith tax efficient structuring among other relevant factors in connection with the disposition or distribution of Company Assets pursuant to this Section 11.01(b). Subject to Applicable Law, after all liabilities of the Company have been satisfied or duly provided for, the remaining Company Assets shall be distributed to the Shareholders in accordance with Article 8 and this Article 11. (c) In the discretion of the liquidator, and subject to Applicable Law, a portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 11.01 may be: (i) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Shareholders for purposes of liquidating Shareholder assets, collecting amounts owed to the Shareholders, and paying any liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the Company’s affairs; or 61 (ii) withheld, with respect to any Shareholder, to provide a reserve for the payment of such Shareholder’s share of future Company Expenses; provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Shareholders as soon as the liquidator determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it is no longer necessary to retain such amounts. The assets of any trust established in connection with clause (i) above shall be distributed to the Shareholders from time to time, in the discretion of the liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement. (d) Each Shareholder shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of such Shareholder’s aggregate Capital Contributions, and no Shareholder shall have priority over any other Shareholder as to the return of such Capital Contributions. (e) After the liquidator has distributed the assets of the Company in accordance with this Section 11.01, the liquidator shall do all such acts required to wind up the Company in accordance with the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. Section 11.02. Clawback. (a) ManagementCo Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the aggregate amount of Class II Distributions that it is entitled to receive in its capacity as the Class II Shareholder (the “Class II Maximum Amount”) shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 12.5% of the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate amount of distributions pursuant to Sections 8.02 and 11.01 over (B) the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made by all Shareholders; and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate amount of distributions pursuant to Sections 8.02 and 11.01 over (B) the amount necessary to be distributed to the Class I Shareholders pursuant to Sections 8.02 and 11.01 such that each Class I Shareholder shall have received a Priority Return in respect of each Capital Contribution made by such Shareholder. (b) Upon the occurrence of a Wind-Up Event (the date of the occurrence of a Wind-Up Event, the “Interim Clawback Date”), the Manager shall calculate the Class II Maximum Amount and determine the amount, if any, the Class II Shareholder would be required to return pursuant to Section 11.02(c), in each case based upon a hypothetical liquidation of the Company as if all of the Company Assets were sold at the Quarterly Value thereof and the net assets of the Company were distributed as of such Interim Clawback Date in accordance with Section 11.01 after giving effect to such hypothetical liquidation (the “Interim Clawback Amount”). If there is an Interim Clawback Amount, the Class II Shareholder shall repay to the Company, for distribution (subject to Applicable Law) to the Class I Shareholders (pro rata in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 11.01), an amount of cash equal to the Interim Clawback Amount; provided that in no event shall the Class II Shareholder be obligated to repay an amount that is greater than the aggregate Class II Distributions previously received by the Class II Shareholder less the excess of the deemed income tax liability (calculated based on the Tax Rate) on the income allocated to the Class II Shareholder over the amount of any corresponding deemed tax benefit (calculated based on the Tax Rate) arising out of the payment described in this paragraph in the taxable year in which such payment is made, in each case determined without reference to any item of income, gain, expense, loss or credit other than such items arising out of the Class II Shareholder’s activities as a Shareholder 62 of the Company. To the extent that there have been any distributions in kind of Marketable Securities or other non-cash Company Assets to the Class II Shareholder, the amount of the deemed income tax liability associated with such distributions shall be the value of such distributed Marketable Securities and Company Assets (as determined for purposes of making the applicable distribution under Section 8.02 or Section 11.01) multiplied by the applicable Tax Rate. Any amount that the Class II Shareholder pays to the Company pursuant to this Section 11.02(b) shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution. The amount of any distribution to a Class I Shareholder pursuant to this Section 11.02(b) shall, for purposes of applying Section 8.02 and Section 11.01, be treated as having been made pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 11.01 and shall be taken into account in determining the amounts that are distributable thereafter to such Class I Shareholder pursuant to Section 8.02 and Section 11.01. (c) If, after giving effect to (i) any payments pursuant to Section 11.02(b) and (ii) the final allocations and distributions pursuant to Section 11.01, the Class II Shareholder shall have received aggregate Class II Distributions in excess of the Class II Maximum Amount, the Class II Shareholder shall repay to the Company, for distribution (subject to Applicable Law) to the Class I Shareholders (pro rata in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 11.01) an amount of cash equal to the excess of the aggregate Class II Distributions over the Class II Maximum Amount; provided that in no event shall the Class II Shareholder be obligated to repay an amount that is greater than the aggregate Class II Distributions previously received by the Class II Shareholder less the excess of the deemed income tax liability (calculated based on the Tax Rate) on the income allocated to the Class II Shareholder over the amount of any corresponding deemed tax benefit (calculated based on the Tax Rate) arising out of the payment described in this paragraph in the taxable year in which such payment is made, in each case determined without reference to any item of income, gain, expense, loss or credit other than such items arising out of the Class II Shareholder’s activities as a Shareholder of the Company. Any amount that the Class II Shareholder pays to the Company pursuant to this Section 11.02(c) shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution. The amount of any distribution to a Class I Shareholder pursuant to this Section 11.02(c) shall, for purposes of applying Section 8.02 and Section 11.01, be treated as having been made pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 11.01 and shall be taken into account in determining the amounts that are distributable thereafter to such Class I Shareholder pursuant to Section 8.02 and Section 11.01. (d) In the event that the Class II Shareholder is obligated under Section 11.02(b) or Section 11.02(c) to return to the Company a portion of the Class II Distributions received from the Company, to the extent the Class II Shareholder has insufficient funds to meet such obligations, (i) each limited partner or former limited partner of the Class II Shareholder shall be severally obligated to return its pro rata share of such amounts (based on the amounts paid to or for the account of such limited partner relating to Class II Distributions). Each limited partner of the Class II Shareholder shall execute and deliver a guarantee, for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders, of the performance of his or her obligation to return up to his or her pro rata share of any amount required to be returned by the Class II Shareholder to the Company pursuant to Section 11.02(b) or (c).

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable, delegable or otherwise transferable by any party hereto pursuant to any Transfer of Company Securities or otherwise, except that (i) Comcast Shareholder may assign its rights or obligations arising hereunder to the extent contemplated by Section 5.03 and Section 10.08 and (ii) ManagementCo Shareholder may assign its rights or obligations hereunder to the extent contemplated by Section 5.03; provided that no such assignment shall relieve ManagementCo Shareholder of any of its obligations hereunder. (c) Except as provided in Section 10.06(e), nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights or obligations under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 12.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the ManagementCo Shareholder Partnership Agreement, the Management Agreement, and the Letter Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and 67 understandings, both oral and written, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 12.11. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. Section 12.12. Guarantee. (a) Subject to Section 12.12(b), Comcast hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the “Comcast Guarantee”) to the Company, ManagementCo Shareholder and the Manager the prompt and full discharge by Comcast Shareholder of all of Comcast Shareholder’s covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities under this Agreement including the due and punctual payment of all amounts which are or may become due and payable by Comcast Shareholder hereunder when and as the same shall become due and payable (collectively, the “Comcast Shareholder Obligations”), in accordance with the terms hereof. Comcast acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to all Comcast Shareholder Obligations to pay money, such guaranty shall be a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Comcast Shareholder. If Comcast Shareholder shall default in the due and punctual performance of any Comcast Shareholder Obligation, including the full and timely payment of any amount due and payable pursuant to any Comcast Shareholder Obligation, Comcast will forthwith perform or cause to be performed such Comcast Shareholder Obligation and will forthwith make full payment of any amount due with respect thereto. Upon performance by Comcast of any Comcast Shareholder Obligation, Comcast shall be subrogated to the rights of Comcast Shareholder against the Company, ManagementCo Shareholder or the Manager, as the case may be, with respect to such Comcast Shareholder Obligation. (b) Notwithstanding Section 12.12(a), upon the Transfer of any Comcast Shareholder Obligations in accordance with this Agreement to any Person that is not an Affiliate of Comcast (including any obligations of Comcast Shareholder that are indirectly allocated to a Comcast Permitted Spin Transferee pursuant to Section 5.03(c)(ii)), the Comcast Guarantee shall automatically be revoked and cease to be in effect with respect to such Comcast Shareholder Obligations first arising after the effective date of the relevant Transfer (and otherwise the Comcast Guarantee shall remain in effect). Section 12.13. Representations. 68 (a) Each of Comcast Shareholder, ManagementCo Shareholder, the Manager and Comcast, severally but not jointly, for itself and not for any other party to this Agreement, represents and warrants to the Company and to each of the others as of the date hereof that: (i) Existence and Power. Such Person is an entity duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and has all powers and all governmental licenses, authorizations, permits, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for those licenses, authorizations, permits, consents and approvals the absence of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an effect that is adverse and material to such Person’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. (ii) Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by such Person of this Agreement and the consummation by such Person of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Person’s powers and, if applicable, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Person. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Person, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except to the extent enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar Applicable Laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general principles of equity. (iii) Noncontravention. The execution, delivery and performance by such Person of this Agreement and the consummation by such Person of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (A) violate the organizational documents of such Person, (B) violate any Applicable Law or (C) require any consent or other action by any Person under, constitute a default under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of such Person or to a loss of any benefit to which such Person is entitled under, any provision of any agreement or other instrument binding upon such Person with such exceptions, in the case of clause (B) and (C), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an effect that is adverse and material to such Person’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. (b) Each of Comcast Shareholder and ManagementCo Shareholder, severally but not jointly, for itself and not for the other, represents and warrants to the Company and to the other as of the date hereof and as of each date on which Company Securities are issued to such Person pursuant to Section 2.05(b), that: (i) Purchase for Investment. Such Person is acquiring the Company Securities for investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof and such Person (either alone or together with its advisors) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company Securities, and such Person is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment for an indefinite period of time and is aware that Transfer of the Company Securities may not be possible because (A) such Transfer will be subject to contractual restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement and (B) the issuance of the Company Securities has not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, therefore, the Company Securities cannot be sold unless such sale is registered under the 69 Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. (ii) Not a Registered Offering. Such Person understands that the Company Securities have not been registered either with the SEC or with the securities commission of any state and are being offered and sold pursuant to private offering exemptions therefrom, and that no Governmental Authority has recommended or endorsed the Company Securities or made any finding or determination relating to the adequacy or accuracy of information provided to such Person or to the fairness for public investment of interests in the Company. immediately available funds to enable it to make payment of such Purchaser’s Available Capital Commitment. (iii) Source of Funds. Such Person has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of Section 12.14. Safe Harbor Rules. The ManagementCo Shareholder is authorized and directed to elect to have the “Safe Harbor” described in the proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43 (the “Notice”) apply to any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company on or after the effective date of such Revenue Procedure in connection with services provided to the Company. Under the Safe Harbor, the value of an interest that is transferred in connection with the performance of services (a “Safe Harbor Interest”) is treated as being equal to the liquidation value of that interest. For purposes of making such Safe Harbor election, the ManagementCo Shareholder is designated as the “partner who has responsibility for federal income tax reporting” by the ManagementCo Shareholder and, accordingly, execution of such Safe Harbor election by the ManagementCo Shareholder constitutes execution of a “Safe Harbor Election” in accordance with Section 3.03(1) of the Notice. The Company and each Shareholder agree to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the Notice, including, without limitation, the requirement that each Shareholder prepare and file all federal income tax returns (to the extent it is required to file such returns) reporting the income tax effects of each Safe Harbor Interest issued by the Company in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Notice. Each Shareholder’s obligations to comply with the requirements of this Section 12.14 shall survive the Shareholder’s ceasing to be a Shareholder of the Company and/or the winding up and/or termination of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 12.14, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence. The ManagementCo Shareholder is authorized to amend the provisions in this Agreement to the extent necessary to achieve substantially the same tax treatment with respect to any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company in connection with services provided to the Company as set forth in Section 4 of the Notice (e.g., to reflect changes from the rules set forth in the Notice in subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance), provided that such amendment is not adverse to any Shareholder (as compared with the after-tax consequences that would result if the provisions of the Notice applied to all interests in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company in connection with services provided to the Company). Section 12.15. Advisers Act. Each Shareholder agrees that it is not an advisory client of the Manager, ManagementCo Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates for purposes of the Advisers Act in connection with the decision to invest in, or otherwise in connection with its investment in, the 70 Company. The Board may, in its sole discretion, grant on behalf of the Company any approvals or consents required to be given by clients of the Manager or its Affiliates under the Advisers Act with respect to the Company in respect of (a) any and all disclosures and approvals required under Section 206(3) thereof, and (b) any consent to a transaction that would result in the “assignment” (within the meaning of the Advisers Act) of the Management Agreement. Such approval or consent of the Board shall constitute all necessary disclosures to and approvals or consents of a client for purposes of the Advisers Act. This Section 12.15 shall not prevent or restrict any vote, consent or approval of any Shareholder otherwise expressly required under the terms of this Agreement, including Sections 4.01(j) and 5.03, or the Letter Agreement in order for the Company, the Manager, ManagementCo Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates to take or refrain from taking any specified action. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver by any Shareholder of any of its legal rights under applicable federal securities laws or any other Applicable Law whose applicability is not permitted to be contractually waived.
