	This Agreement will take effect on the date on which the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower and the Telenet Additional Facility W Lenders that it has received the documents and evidence set out in Schedule 2 of this Agreement, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to it or, as the case may be, the requirement to provide any of such documents or evidence has been waived by the Majority Term Loan W Facility Lenders (the Effective Date).


		
	5.
	We, the Telenet Additional Facility W Lenders, agree:


		
	(a)
	to become party to and to be bound by the terms of the Credit Agreement as Lenders in accordance with Clause 2.7 (Telenet Additional Facility) of the Credit Agreement; and

	14.
	The Margin in relation to the Term Loan W Facility is 3.25 per cent. per annum less, in respect of a Telenet Additional Facility W Lender, the Mandatory Costs applicable to that Telenet Additional Facility W Lender.


		
	15.
	The interest rate for the Term Loan W Facility will be calculated in accordance with Clause 8.1 (Calculation of interest) of the Credit Agreement, being the sum of EURIBOR, the applicable Margin and the Mandatory Costs. 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 and that if, at the time of calculation, the rate is determined to be below 0.00 per cent. then EURIBOR will be deemed to be 0.00 per cent.


		
	16.
	The Borrower in relation to the Term Loan W Facility is Telenet International Finance S.à r.L., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg with its registered office at 2, rue Peternelchen L-2370 Howald, Luxembourg, having a share capital of EUR395,031,000, and registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies under number B.155.066. 


17.

	(a)
	Such payment shall be due and payable by the Borrower under the Term Loan W Facility to the Facility Agent (for the account of such Telenet Additional Facility W Lenders) on the actual date of such prepayment or transfer.


18.    
		
	(a)
	Provided that any upsizing of the Term Loan W Facility permitted under this Clause 18 will not breach any term of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan W Facility may be upsized by any amount, by the signing of one or more further Telenet Additional Facility Accession Agreements in respect of the Term Loan W Facility (an Additional Facility W Accession Agreement), that specifies (along with the other terms specified therein) Telenet International Finance S.à r.L. as the sole Borrower, that the Commitments under that Additional Facility W Accession Agreement are denominated in euros, to be drawn in euros and with the same Final Maturity Date and Margin as specified in this Agreement.


		
	(b)
	For the purposes of this Clause 18 (unless otherwise specified), references to each Telenet Additional Facility W Lender and Term Loan W Facility Loans shall include Lenders and Loans made under any such further Additional Facility W Accession Agreement.


		
	(c)
	Where any Term Loan W Facility Loan has not already been consolidated with any other Term Loan W Facility Loan, on the last day of any Term for that unconsolidated Term Loan W Facility Loan, that Term Loan W Facility Loan will be consolidated with any other Term Loan W Facility
