Bord Telecom Éireann plc may, at its absolute discretion, withdraw the Facility from all or any subscribers."

(2)It shall be a condition of the application of the Facility that: (

1. a)the subscriber shall pay the Committed Rental Level chosen by it for the Rental Period chosen by it; (
2. b)where the sum payable by the subscriber in respect of the use of leased lines within Ireland in any 12 month period during the Rental Period chosen by it is less than the minimum threshold of the Committed Rental Level chosen by it then the subscriber shall pay to Bord Telecom Éireann plc the corresponding Minimum Annual Rental as set out in Parts 3, Section III of the Second Schedule hereto. For the purposes of this Scheme a 12 month period shall be calculated from the commencement of the Rental Period and after the first year from the anniversary of the commencement of the Rental Period; (
3. c)in the event of a subscriber failing to reach the Committed Rental Level chosen by the subscriber in the Rental Period chosen by the subscriber due to a price reduction by Bord Telecom Éireann plc then the subscriber shall be entitled to negotiate a revised Committed Rental Level with Bord Telecom Éireann plc and shall be entitled to the appropriate discount based on revised Committed Rental Level so negotiated without penalty for the remainder of the unexpired term of the Rental Period chosen by the subscriber; (
4. d)in the event that the subscriber ceases to avail of the Facility prior to the expiry of the Rental Period chosen by the subscriber the subscriber shall be liable to pay to Bord Telecom Éireann plc a sum equivalent to 5% of the corresponding Minimum Rental Level calculated in accordance with Part 3, Section III of the Second Schedule hereto for the unexpired term of the Rental Period chosen by the subscriber; (
5. e)the subscriber may increase but not decrease the Committed Rental Level chosen by the subscriber annually on the anniversary of the initial implementation of the Facility on the subscriber's account.

6. f)in the event of the Annual Rental Charges actually paid by the subscriber in a Rental Period chosen by the subscriber exceeding the upper threshold of the Committed Rental Level chosen by the subscriber the discount shall only be calculated on the Committed Rental Level chosen by the subscriber.
