	10.
	The Final Maturity Date in respect of the Term Loan AK Facility is 1 March 2028. Any outstanding Advance under the Term Loan AK Facility shall be repaid in full on the Final Maturity Date.


		
	11.
	The interest rate in relation to the Term Loan AK Facility will be a fixed rate of 3.500 per cent. per annum. Such interest rate will be calculated in accordance with Clause 11.1 (Calculation of Interest) of the Credit Agreement as being the sum of EURIBOR and the applicable Margin, where in order to achieve the fixed rate referred to above, the applicable Margin will be:

	3.500 per cent. per annum, calculated on the basis of a 365 day or 366 day year (as applicable) and payable for the actual number of days elapsed; minus


		
	(b)
	EURIBOR.


For the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of this calculation, the applicable Margin may be a negative number. Further, the interest rate for this Term Loan AK Facility will never exceed 3.500 per cent. per annum (save to the extent that Clause 11.3 (Interest on Overdue Amounts) of the Credit Agreement may apply).
		
	12.

Such payment shall be due and payable by the Borrower under the Term Loan AK Facility to the Facility Agent (for the account of the Telenet Additional Facility AK Lender) on the actual date of such prepayment. Prior to 1 December 2022, to the extent that during any twelve-month period commencing on the date of this Agreement, the principal amount of the Term Loan AK Facility prepaid in any one or more voluntary prepayments is greater than an amount equal to 10% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan AK Facility (any such amount, the “Excess Early Redemption Proceeds”), the Borrower will apply the Excess Early Redemption Proceeds to a voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan AK Facility as described in Clause 15 below.

	(b)
	if following any Tender Offer, the Telenet Additional Facility AK Lender is entitled to, and elects to, redeem any remaining Notes at a price equal to the price paid to each other holder in such Tender Offer, then the Borrower will prepay the remaining principal amount of the Term Loan AK Facility at a prepayment price of par plus any premium paid or less any discount received by the Telenet Additional Facility AK Lender in connection with the purchase of the Notes in such Tender Offer, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date that any interest accrues under the Notes in connection with such redemption.

	(h)
	Where a cure is exercised under this Clause 20.4 in respect of a breach of Clause 20.2 (Net Total Debt to Consolidated Annualised EBITDA) for any financial quarter and the Company makes an election for a recalculation as described in sub-paragraph (a)(ii) above, the amount of additional equity or the proceeds of any Subordinated Shareholder Loans that are received by one or more members of the Group shall also be added in calculating Consolidated EBITDA for any future Measurement Period that includes such financial quarter.
