[1] Represents interest on the 2017 PIK Notes and the 2017 Term Loan, which we may pay in kind or in cash on a semi-annual basis in arrears by adding such accrued interest to the principal amount of the underlying instrument.
[2] (1) Represents the commitment fee payable to Time Warner in respect of its obligation under a commitment letter dated November 14, 2014 (the “2015 Refinancing Commitment Letter”) between Time Warner and CME whereby Time Warner agreed to provide or assist with arranging a loan facility to repay the 2015 Convertible Notes at maturity. The commitment fee is payable by November 1, 2019, the maturity date of the 2019 Euro Term Loan, or earlier if the repayment of the 2019 Euro Term Loan is accelerated. The commitment fee bears interest at 8.5% per annum and such interest is payable in arrears on each May 1 and November 1, beginning May 1, 2016 and may be paid in cash or in kind, at our election.
[3] (2) Represents the fee payable to Time Warner for Time Warner's guarantees of the 2018 Euro Term Loan and the 2019 Euro Term Loan. The guarantee fee is calculated based on the amounts outstanding on the 2018 Euro Term Loan and the 2019 Euro Term Loan, each calculated on a per annum basis equal to 8.5% minus the rate of interest paid by CME to the lenders under the 2018 Euro Term Loan and the 2019 Euro Term Loan, respectively. The guarantee fee is payable, in cash or in kind on a semi-annual basis in arrears on each May 1 and November 1. We have elected to pay the guarantee fee in kind to date. Amounts of the guarantee fee paid in kind bear interest at the Guarantee Fee Rate, which is payable, in cash or in kind, in arrears on each May 1 and November 1.
[4] (3) Amount represents the commitment fee payable to Time Warner in connection with the 2015 Refinancing Commitment Letter, as well as the accrued fee payable to Time Warner for guaranteeing the 2018 Euro Term Loan and the 2019 Euro Term Loan.
