The parties to the Shareholders’ Agreement are listed on Schedule 1 (the “Holders” as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement and herein).

(E)		NTL is of the opinion that B2 Bredband and the non-NTL Holders have failed to fulfil their obligations to register certain transfers among the NTL entities or to procure such registration, as the case may be;

(F)		AI Capital C.V. has transferred all its securities in B2 Bredband and its Key Shareholder status under the Shareholders’ Agreement to B2 Partners an Affiliate of AI Capital C.V.

8.4		On this date, but effective upon the earlier of (i) Completion, (ii) the date scheduled for Completion in Clause 6.1 if on such date Completion has not occurred for any reason attributable to NTL, and (iii) the date to which Completion has been postponed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if on such date Completion has not ocurred for any reason attributable to NTL, and except for claims arising as a consequence of breach of this Agreement, NTL (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, employees, agents and the directors and deputy directors nominated by NTL to the B2 Bredband board (collectively the “NTL Persons”)) waives any and all claims of whatever nature by NTL or its Affiliates relating to B2 Bredband that NTL or the NTL Persons or any of their successors and assigns has or may have against B2 Bredband or the Participating Holders or any of their Affiliates, employees and agents (including any directors and deputy directors of B2 Bredband).

8.5		From this date, but effective upon the earlier of (i) Completion, (ii) the date scheduled for Completion in Clause 6.1 if on such date Completion has not occurred for any reason attributable to NTL, and (iii) the date to which Completion has been postponed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if on such date Completion has not ocurred for any reason attributable to NTL, and except for claims arising as a consequence of breach of this Agreement, neither NTL nor any of its Affiliates shall have the right to pursue any claims against B2 Bredband or the Participating Holders or any of their employees, agents or directors and deputy directors, whether directly or indirectly (including through other legal entities), relating to NTL’s holding of Equity Securities in B2 Bredband.

8.6		Following Completion, B2 Bredband and the Participating Holders, to the extent applicable, shall promptly, following the request of NTL, (i) assist NTL in procuring entry of a Bankruptcy Court order approving the Reorganized NTL Entities’ settlement of Claim Nos. 2384/2386 and Claim Nos. 2385/2388 contained herein, (ii) assist NTL in procuring the Bankruptcy Court’s denial of Claim Nos. 2384/2386 and Claim Nos. 2385/2388, and/or (iii) file a notice of withdraw of Claim Nos. 2384/2386 and Claim Nos. 2385/2388 in the Bankruptcy Court. Each party agrees to bear its respective costs in respect of such proceedings and all previous proceedings before the Bankruptcy Court.

8.7		This clause 8 shall be null and void if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions in this Agreement.

9.		Shareholders Agreement

9.1		All parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and accept (i) that this Agreement is in full compliance with the B2 Agreements (including for the avoidance of doubt Section 6.10 of the Shareholders’ Agreement), and (ii) that NTL’s former Key Shareholder status under the Shareholders’ Agreement is null and void and not transferred under this Agreement.

9.2		Furthermore, subject to Completion, each of B2 Bredband and the Participating Holders, severally, but not jointly, terminate the Shareholders’ Agreement in relation to NTL, following which NTL shall not be bound vis-a-vis B2 Bredband and the Participating Holders by any provision therein other than Section 5.01.

10.		Termination

		This Agreement may not be terminated except in the circumstances and subject to the conditions expressly set forth for herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, no party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for a breach or

		misrepresentation committed by any other party than NTL except with the express written consent of NTL.

11.		Confidentiality and Public Announcements

11.1		No party shall make (or allow any other person to make) any public announcement concerning this Agreement or any ancillary matter before, on or after Completion except that NTL and the Reorganized NTL Entities shall be permitted to attach a copy of and describe and refer to this Agreement in any pleadings filed to obtain the Bankruptcy Court order described in sub-clause 8.6 above.

11.2		Nothing in this clause 11 shall prevent any announcement being made or any confidential information being disclosed:

	(a)		with the written approval of the other parties, which in the case of any announcement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or

	(b)		to the extent required by law, any competent regulatory body or applicable stock listing requirements, but a party required to disclose any confidential information shall promptly notify the other parties, where practicable and lawful to do so, before disclosure occurs and co-operate with the other parties regarding the timing and content of such disclosure or any action which the other parties may reasonably elect to take to challenge the validity of such requirement.

11.3		In case an announcement shall be made in accordance with sub-clause 11.2 above, the announcing party shall use its best reasonable efforts to have the contents of such announcement agreed between B2 Bredband, NTL Delaware and the Key Shareholders in advance.

12.		Notices

		Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by or to any party shall, unless explicitly stated otherwise, be in writing (including fax or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at its address set forth in Schedule 1, or to such other address or fax number as the party to whom notice is to be given may provide in a written notice to the other parties, a copy of which written notice shall be on file with the general counsel of B2 Bredband. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by fax, when such fax is transmitted to the fax number specified in this clause and the appropriate confirmation is received or (ii) if given by express mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the express mail service, with postage prepaid addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this clause 12, so long as in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), such notice, request, instruction or other document was received by the recipient before 5:00 p.m. in the place of receipt and that day is a Business Day. Otherwise, any notice, request or communication shall be deemed not to have been received until the next succeeding Business Day in the place of receipt. In calculating any notice or time period under this Agreement, the Parties agree that any such period shall be deemed to exclude the day when the notice is received or deemed received, but shall be deemed to include the day when the period is to lapse or otherwise take effect.

13.		Miscellaneous

13.1		All parties to this Agreement, other than B2 Bredband, hereby acknowledge and accept B2 Bredband to act as intermediary pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement in the transfer of the NTL B2 Securities hereunder. Each such party hereby waives any right to raise

		monetary claims against B2 Bredband or any of its officers for any actions taken by B2 Bredband or any of its officers under this Agreement, other than where the basis of such claims is a breach of sub-clause 7.2 or where there is a case of fraud, wilful breach, wilful misconduct, wilful concealment or gross negligence.

13.2		Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party shall pay the costs, expenses and advisors’ fees incurred by it in connection with the entering into and completion of this Agreement.

13.3		This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. Execution in counterparts has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Agreement.

13.4		The rights of each party under this Agreement may be waived only in writing and specifically. Any delay in the exercise or non-exercise of any such right is not a waiver of that right.

13.5		Changes and additions to this Agreement must, in order to be effective, be in writing and duly executed by the parties.

13.6		If any provision of this Agreement shall be fully or partly invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of all other provisions shall not be affected. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be substituted by a valid and enforceable provision that reflects as close as possible the economic intention of the parties intended by the invalid or unenforceable provision. Any invalidity or unenforceability affecting the obligations of one or more parties hereunder shall not render the Agreement invalid as between the other parties.

14.		Entire Agreement

		This Agreement and the documents referred to herein and any related agreements executed by the parties on the date of this Agreement contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersede all previous agreements between the parties relating to these transactions. For the avoidance of doubt the Shareholders’ Agreement shall, save for the termination in relation to NTL as set out in sub-clause 9.2, remain in full force between the remaining parties thereto.

15.		Governing Law

		This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Sweden.

16.		Arbitration

16.1		Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof shall, unless otherwise mutually resolved by the parties, be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”), as amended or supplemented by the provisions below, by an arbitral tribunal of three (3) arbitrators.

16.2		The place of arbitration shall be Stockholm, and the language to be used in any such arbitration proceedings shall be English.

16.3		All three arbitrators shall be appointed by the Institute.

16.4		In the event that a request for arbitration between any of the parties has been filed with the Institute, the Institute shall notify all other parties of the request for arbitration.

16.5		If an arbitral proceeding between two or more parties to this Agreement have been initiated, another party to this Agreement who wishes to initiate an arbitral proceeding against any party or parties, shall submit its request for arbitration to the arbitral tribunal and the Institute. The arbitral tribunal shall, after having consulted the parties in the ongoing arbitration proceeding and the parties to the new arbitration proceeding, decide whether or not the two proceedings shall be settled by the same arbitral tribunal and in one proceeding only.

16.6		If the arbitral tribunal considers the new request to be submitted at such a late stage of the proceedings that a consolidation would delay the proceedings unacceptably, the arbitral tribunal shall decide that the disputes shall be settled separately.

16.7		If arbitration is initiated by one party against several parties on grounds that are substantially similar, the arbitral tribunal shall decide that the proceedings shall be consolidated.

16.8		If two or more proceedings have been consolidated, the arbitral tribunal may subsequently, after having given due opportunity to the parties in the proceedings to express their views on the matter, decide that a particular dispute or particular disputes referred to it shall be settled separately.

16.9		The arbitral tribunal may dispose of the disputes referred to it by rendering one or several awards. This shall not limit the power of the tribunal under Section 34 of the Rules of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce to render separate awards for separate issues or parts of the matters in dispute.

16.10		All meetings and hearings shall be in private unless the parties agree otherwise. The parties may not disclose or communicate to any person information concerning the arbitration or the award. This information is to be treated as strictly confidential by the parties.

16.11		No party shall have the right to terminate this arbitration clause in whole or with respect to its obligations hereunder.

16.12		No party shall initiate a lawsuit against any other party where the basis of such lawsuit is within the scope of this clause, except in the situation where neither the laws of the place where the other party has its residence nor where such party’s assets are located would recognise any arbitration award which may be rendered against such party under this clause, in which event such party shall be subject to suit in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.		Exclusive jurisdiction over claims against NTL

17.1		Notwithstanding clause 16 above or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after Completion has taken place, any claims of whatever nature, except for claims pursuant to Clauses 7.3 and 7.4 in this Agreement, by any of the parties hereto or their successors or assigns in respect of NTL’s holding of securities in B2 (including, but not limited to Claim Nos. 2384/2386, and Claim Nos. 2385/2388) against NTL, the Reorganized NTL Entities, or their Affiliates, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court or if jurisdiction is not available at such venue, to the jurisdiction of a competent court of New York.

17.2		This clause 17 shall be null and void if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions in this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
