6.	The Telenet Additional Facility Commitment in relation to a Telenet Additional Facility AQ Lender (for the purpose of the definition of Telenet Additional Facility Commitment in Clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Credit Agreement) is its Term Loan AQ Facility Commitment.


7.	Any interest due in relation to the Term Loan AQ Facility will be payable on the last day of each Term and otherwise in accordance with Clause 11 (Interest) of the Credit Agreement.


8.	The Availability Period for the Term Loan AQ Facility shall be the period from and including the Effective Date up to and including 45 Business Days thereafter or such other date agreed between the Telenet Additional Facility AQ Lenders and the Company.

15.

The interest on the Term Loan AQ Facility will accrue and be payable in accordance with Clause 11.1 (Calculation of Interest) of the Credit Agreement, and will be the sum of EURIBOR and the applicable Margin. For the avoidance of doubt, each party to this Agreement accepts and acknowledges that EURIBOR has the meaning given to it under Clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Credit Agreement provided that if EURIBOR as determined in accordance with that definition is less than zero, it shall be deemed to be zero and, provided further that, in relation to the first Term to apply to each Term Loan AQ Facility Loan, EURIBOR shall mean the EURIBOR rate calculated for the Existing Interest Period.

16.

The Borrower in relation to the Term Loan AQ Facility shall be Telenet International Finance S.à r.l.

(c)	in the case of paragraph (a) above, a prepayment fee equal to 1.00 per cent. flat on the amount of that Telenet Additional Facility AQ Lender’s Term Loan AQ Facility Loan which is prepaid and such prepayment fee shall be due and payable on the date of such prepayment; and

(d)

in the case of paragraph (b) above, a prepayment fee equal to 1.00 per cent. flat on the aggregate amount of the Term Loan AQ Facility Loans of each Telenet Additional Facility AQ Lender that shall have been the subject of a mandatory assignment under the Credit Agreement following the failure of such Lender to consent to such amendment on or prior to the date falling 6 months after the date of this Agreement and such prepayment fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such assignment.

In this paragraph:

“Repricing Transaction” means the prepayment or refinancing of all or a portion of the Term Loan AQ Facility Loans with any long term bank debt financing incurred for the primary purpose of repaying, refinancing, substituting or replacing the Term Loan AQ Facility Loans which have (or any amendment to this Agreement or the Credit Agreement which results in) an effective interest cost or weighted average yield (as determined by the Facility Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practice and, in any event, excluding any arrangement or commitment fees in connection therewith) that is less than the interest rate for or weighted average yield (as determined by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) on the same basis) of the Term Loan AQ Facility Loans.

19.

(a)

Provided that any upsizing of the Term Loan AQ Facility permitted under this paragraph 19 will not breach any term of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan AQ Facility may be upsized by any amount, by the signing of one or more further Telenet Additional Facility AQ Accession Agreements, that specify (along with the other terms specified therein) Telenet International Finance S.à r.l. as the sole Borrower and which specify Additional Facility AQ Commitments denominated in euro, to be drawn in euro, with the same Final Maturity Date and Margin as specified in this Agreement.


(b)	For the purposes of this paragraph 19 (unless otherwise specified), references to Term Loan AQ Facility Loans shall include Advances made under any such further and previous Additional Facility AQ Accession Agreement.

(c)

Where any Term Loan AQ Facility Loan has not already been consolidated with any other Term Loan AQ Facility Loan, on the last day of any Term for that unconsolidated Term Loan AQ Facility Loan, that unconsolidated Term Loan AQ Facility Loan will be consolidated with any other unconsolidated Term Loan AQ Facility Loan which has a Term ending on the same day as that unconsolidated Term Loan AQ Facility Loan, and all such Term Loan AQ Facility Loans will then be treated as one Advance under the Term Loan AQ Facility.

20.

For the purposes of any amendment or waiver, consent or other modification (including, with respect to any existing Default or Event of Default) that may be sought by the Company under the Credit Agreement or any other Finance Document on or after the date of this Agreement, each Telenet Additional Facility AQ Lender hereby consents (in its capacity as a Lender from time to time under the Credit Agreement and, if it is a Hedge Counterparty, in its capacity as a Hedge Counterparty), and agrees to procure that, unless it is prohibited from doing so, any of its Affiliates or related funds that are Lenders under a Revolving Facility or Hedge Counterparties consent (in their capacity as Lenders under a Revolving Facility or Hedge Counterparties, as applicable) to any and all of the following:
