Comcast Cable Communications Holdings and Comcast Cable, as well as Comcast Cable Holdings, LLC, Comcast MO Group, Inc. and Comcast MO of Delaware, LLC (collectively the “Cable Guarantors”), guaranteed, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis, the obligations of Comcast with respect to debt securities issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of January 7, 2003 (the “Comcast Indenture”) among Comcast, the Cable Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee.
