Subject always to the terms of the Group Intercreditor Deed and the other Senior Finance Documents, notwithstanding Clause 3.1 (Assignment) of this Assignment, the Company may in its absolute discretion receive, retain and deal with free from this Assignment all interest paid and received by it in respect of the Assigned Rights.

3.8 Rule 3-16 Limitation

(a) Clause 3.1 (Assignment) and Clause 3.2 (Non-Assignable Rights) of this Assignment notwithstanding, the Excluded Charged Assets are not assigned under this Assignment to secure the Designated Secured Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt,

(i) all other Assigned Rights remain assigned or held on trust for the Security Trustee (as the case may be) under this Assignment to secure all Secured Obligations, including without limitation the Designated Secured Obligations; and

(ii) such Excluded Charged Assets remain assigned under Clause 3.1 (Assignment) or held on trust for the Security Trustee under Clause 3.2 (Non-Assignable Rights) of this Assignment to secure any Secured Obligations that are not Designated Secured Obligations.

(b) “Excluded Charged Assets” in relation to any Designated Secured Obligations means any securities of a Subsidiary of Virgin Media Inc. (excluding the securities issued by Virgin Media Investments Limited and Virgin Media Investment Holdings Limited or, in each case, any successor entity upon any merger, reorganisation or other restructuring effecting it) that are owned by the Company to the extent that providing security over such securities under this Assignment to secure such Designated Secured Obligations would result in Rule 3-16 requiring separate financial statements of such Subsidiary to be filed with the SEC, but (i) only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement, (ii) only for so long as such requirement is in existence and (iii) only if no member of the Group files or is otherwise required to file separate financial statements of such Subsidiary with the SEC under a separate rule or regulation; provided that no securities will constitute Excluded Charged Assets if any member of the Group takes any action in the form of a reorganisation, merger or other restructuring, a principal purpose of which is to provide for the limitation of the security on any securities pursuant to Clause 3.8(a).

(c) In the event that Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other United States federal or state governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any such Subsidiary due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s securities secure any Designated Secured Obligations, then such securities (as

applicable) of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed to be Excluded Charged Assets for such Designated Secured Obligations but (i) only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement, (ii) only for so long as such financial statement requirement would otherwise have been applicable to such Subsidiary and (iii) only if no member of the Group files or is otherwise required to file separate financial statements of such Subsidiary with the SEC or such other governmental agency under a separate rule or regulation. If the circumstances described in this paragraph (c) apply, this Assignment may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Senior Finance Party, to the extent necessary to release the assignment (but only to the extent securing such Designated Secured Obligations and without prejudice to the assignment securing Secured Obligations referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Clause 3.8) in favour of the Security Trustee on the relevant securities that are so deemed to constitute Excluded Charged Assets.

(d) In the event that Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Subsidiary’s securities to secure any Designated Secured Obligations in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other United States federal or state governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the securities of such Subsidiary will automatically be deemed not to be Excluded Charged Assets for such Designated Secured Obligations, but limited to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement. If the circumstances described in this paragraph (d) apply, this Assignment may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Senior Finance Party, to the extent necessary to assign in favour of the Security Trustee such additional securities that were deemed to constitute Excluded Charged Assets.

4. UNDERTAKINGS

available to the Beneficiaries or any of them and/or the Security Trustee and may be enforced notwithstanding the same; and

(c) not merge with or be in any way prejudiced or affected by the existence of any such Security Documents, Encumbrance, rights or remedies or by the same being or becoming wholly or in part void, voidable or unenforceable on any ground whatsoever or by the Beneficiaries or any of them and/or the Security Trustee dealing with, exchanging, releasing, varying or failing to perfect or enforce any of the same, or giving time for payment or indulgence or compounding with any other person liable.

11.2 Security Documents

Neither the Security Trustee nor any of the Beneficiaries shall be obliged to resort to any other Security Document or other means of payment now or hereafter held by or available to it before enforcing this Assignment and no action taken or omitted by the Security Trustee or any of the Beneficiaries in connection with any such Security Document or other means of payment shall discharge, reduce, prejudice or affect the liability of the Company nor shall the Security Trustee or any of the Beneficiaries be obliged to account for any money or other property received or recovered in consequence of any enforcement or realisation of any such Security Document or other means of payment.

(c) any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of the Company had it been principal debtor in respect of the Secured Obligations or by anything done or omitted which but for this provision might operate to exonerate the Company.

11.6 Restriction of the Company’s Rights

(a) exercise its rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity against any Obligor or any other person;

(b) demand or accept repayment in whole or in part of any obligations or liabilities now or hereafter due to the Company from any Obligor or any Security Provider demand or accept any guarantee or any other document or instrument (including, without limitation, any other document or instrument creating or evidencing a mortgage, charge (whether fixed or floating), pledge, lien, hypothecation, assignment, trust arrangement or security interest of any kind) in respect of such obligations or liabilities or dispose of the same;

(c) take any step to enforce any right against any Obligor or any Security Provider in respect of any such obligations or liabilities; or

To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall on actual conversion into such currency fall short of such obligation or liability expressed in that currency the Security Trustee shall have a further separate cause of action against the Company to recover such shortfall out of the Assigned Rights and shall be entitled to enforce the assignment hereby created to recover the amount of the shortfall.
