3.2	Assignments

Subject to Clause 3.3 (Non-Assignable Rights), the Chargor with full title guarantee hereby assigns absolutely by way of continuing security for the payment and discharge of the Secured Obligations to the Security Trustee:

(a)

all its present and future rights, title, benefit and interests under and in respect of the Intercompany Indebtedness and any other amounts payable in respect thereof, including under any other loan agreements from time to time entered into by the Chargor;

to the extent not charged under the provisions of Clause 3.1(b) (Fixed Charge) all of its present and future Intellectual Property Rights.

3.3	Non-Assignable Rights

(a)

hold the benefit of the same on trust for the Security Trustee as security for the payment and discharge of the Secured Obligations; and

(b)

promptly notify the Security Trustee of the same and the reasons therefor and thereafter take such steps as the Security Trustee may reasonably require to attempt to remove any relevant prohibition or other reason for such failure.

3.4	Floating Charge

The Chargor with full title guarantee hereby charges to the Security Trustee by way of first floating charge and as a continuing security for the payment and discharge of the Secured Obligations its undertaking and all its property, assets and rights whatsoever and wheresoever both present and future, other than any property or assets from time to time effectively charged by way of fixed charge or assignment pursuant to Clauses 3.1 (Fixed Charge) and 3.2 (Assignments) and including (without limitation and whether or not so effectively charged) any of its property and assets situated in

Scotland, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the floating charge shall not attach to any plant or machinery, or any interest therein, which is the subject of a lease where the title thereto vests in the relevant lessor and not the Chargor. The parties to this Deed agree that the floating charge created by this Clause 3.4 is a qualifying floating charge for the purposes of paragraph 14 of schedule B1 to the Insolvency Xxx 0000.

3.5	Automatic Conversion of Floating Charge

the Chargor creates or attempts to create any other Encumbrance over all or any of the Floating Charge Assets without the prior consent in writing of the Security Trustee or otherwise as permitted by the Senior Finance Documents;

any person levies or attempts to levy any distress, execution, sequestration or other process against any of the Charged Assets or takes any steps to enforce any rights against any of the Floating Charge Assets; or

any meeting of the members of the Chargor is convened to consider a resolution to wind up the Chargor or a petition is presented or application made to wind up the Chargor,

the floating charge created by Clause 3.4 (Floating Charge) over the property or asset concerned shall thereupon automatically without notice be converted into a fixed charge. Nothing in this Clause 3.5 shall cause the floating charge created by Clause 3.4 (Floating Charge) to crystallise solely because a moratorium has been obtained by any person in relation to the Chargor or any person has taken any steps with a view to obtaining a moratorium in relation to the Chargor under Section 1A and Schedule A1 of the Insolvency Xxx 0000.

3.6	Conversion of Floating Charge by Notice

Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied in this Deed, the Security Trustee shall be entitled at any time by giving notice in writing to that effect to the Chargor to convert the floating charge over all or any part of the Floating Charge Assets into a fixed charge if and to the extent that the Security Trustee reasonably considers the assets specified in such notice may be in danger of being seized or sold under or pursuant to any form of distress or execution, or may otherwise be in jeopardy or the Security Trustee otherwise considers (acting reasonably) such conversion to be necessary or desirable to protect the priority of the Security.

3.7	Subsequent Encumbrances

If any Beneficiary receives notice of any subsequent Encumbrance affecting the Charged Assets or any part thereof, such Beneficiary may open a new account for the Chargor but if it does not do so then unless such Beneficiary gives express written notice to the contrary to the Chargor it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had opened a new account at the time when it received such notice and as from that time all payments made by or on behalf of the Chargor to such Beneficiary shall be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new account and shall not operate to reduce

the amount due from the Chargor to such Beneficiary at the time when it received such notice.

3.8	Section 94(1)(c) Law of Property Xxx 0000

The obligation on the part of the Senior Lenders to make further advances to the Borrowers under the Senior Facilities Agreement or on the part of any creditors under any other Senior Finance Document, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be incorporated in this Deed for the purposes of section 94(1) (c) Law of Property Xxx 0000.

3.9	Blocking of Accounts

The Chargor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that at any time after the Enforcement Date if there shall from time to time be any credit balance on any of its accounts with any of the Beneficiaries, such Beneficiary shall have the absolute right to refuse to permit such credit balance to be utilised or withdrawn by the Chargor whether in whole or in part if and to the extent that at that time there are outstanding any of the Secured Obligations.

3.10	Dividends and Voting Rights

Subject to Clause 8.1 (The Investments), the Chargor may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing (a) exercise all voting and other rights and powers attached to the Investments and (b) receive, retain and deal with free from this Deed all dividends, distributions, interest and other moneys paid on and received by it in respect of the Investments.

3.11	Consents of Third Parties

Notwithstanding Clause 3.1 (Fixed Charge) or 3.4 (Floating Charge):

(a)

unless and until the Chargor has obtained the consent of the relevant landlord and any other relevant party (each being a “Consent”) the fixed and floating charges granted pursuant to Clause 3.1 (Fixed Charge) and 3.4 (Floating Charge) respectively shall not extend to the Chargor’s rights over any Restricted Lease; and

(b)

unless the Chargor has received written confirmation from the Security Trustee that a particular Consent is not required, the Chargor hereby undertakes to use its reasonable endeavours to obtain the Consent. On obtaining the Consent:

(i)

the relevant Restricted Lease shall thereupon automatically become subject to the fixed charge created pursuant to Clause 3.1 (Fixed Charge) and the floating charge created pursuant to Clause 3.4 (Floating Charge); and

(ii)

the Chargor shall immediately produce the Certificate or evidence of such Consent to the Security Trustee.

3.12	Rule 3-16 Limitation

(a)

Clause 3.1 (Fixed Charge) and Clause 3.4 (Floating Charge) notwithstanding, the Excluded Charged Assets are not charged under this Deed to secure the Designated Secured Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt,

(i)

all other Charged Assets remain charged or assigned (as the case may be) under this Deed to secure all Secured Obligations, including without limitation the Designated Secured Obligations; and

(ii)

such Excluded Charged Assets remain charged under Clause 3.1 (Fixed Charge) and Clause 3.4 (Floating Charge) to secure any Secured Obligations that are not Designated Secured Obligations.

(b)

“Excluded Charged Assets” in relation to any Designated Secured Obligations means any Shares or other securities of a Subsidiary of Virgin Media Inc. (excluding the Shares or other 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 Chargor to the extent that charging or pledging such Shares or other securities under this Deed 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 shares or 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 charge on any Shares or other securities pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

(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 Shares or other securities secure any Designated Secured Obligations, then such Shares or other 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 Deed may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Senior Finance Party, to the extent necessary to release the charge (but only to the extent securing such Designated Secured Obligations and without prejudice to the charge securing

Secured Obligations referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Clause 3.12) in favour of the Security Trustee on the relevant Shares and/or other 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 Shares and/or other 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 Shares or other securities (as applicable) 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 Deed may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Senior Finance Party, to the extent necessary to charge in favour of the Security Trustee such additional Shares or other securities that were deemed to constitute Excluded Charged Assets.

(b)

be in addition to, and shall not merge with or otherwise prejudice or affect, any present or future Security Document, Encumbrance, right or remedy held by or 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.

14.2	Security Documents

Neither the Security Trustee nor any of the Beneficiaries shall be obliged to resort to any other Security Documents or other means of payment now or hereafter held by or available to it before enforcing this Deed 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 Chargor 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.

14.3	New Accounts

Notwithstanding that any charge hereby created ceases to be continuing for any reason whatsoever the Security Trustee or any of the Beneficiaries may continue any account of the Chargor or other Security Provider or open one or more new accounts and the liability of the Chargor hereunder shall not in any manner be reduced or affected by any subsequent transaction or receipts or payments into or out of any such account.

14.4	Settlements Conditional

Any release, discharge or settlement between the Chargor and the Security Trustee shall be conditional upon no security, disposition or payment to the Security Trustee or any of the Beneficiaries by the Chargor or any other person being void, set aside or ordered to be refunded pursuant to any enactment or law relating to bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency or for any other reason whatsoever and if such condition shall not be fulfilled the Security Trustee shall be entitled to enforce this Deed subsequently as if such release, discharge or settlement had not occurred and any such payment had not been made.

14.5	No Release

The liability of the Chargor shall not be affected nor shall the charge hereby created be discharged or diminished by reason of:

(a)

the Incapacity or any change in the name, style or constitution of the Chargor or any other person liable; or

(b)

the Security Trustee or any of the Beneficiaries compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability of or granting any time indulgence or concession to the Chargor or any other person or renewing, determining, varying or increasing any accommodation, facility or transaction in any manner whatsoever or concurring in accepting or varying any compromise, arrangement or settlement or omitting to claim or enforce payment from the Chargor or any other person; or

(c)

any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of the Chargor had it been principal debtor instead of guarantor or by anything done or omitted which but for this provision might operate to exonerate the Chargor.

exercise its rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity against the Chargor or any other person;

save as otherwise permitted or not restricted in each of the Senior Finance Documents, the Refinancing Facilities Agreements and the Group Intercreditor Deed, demand or accept repayment in whole or in part of any obligations or liabilities now or hereafter due to the Chargor from any other 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;

claim any set-off or counter-claim in respect of any such obligations or liabilities against any other Security Provider or claim or prove in competition with the Security Trustee or any of the Beneficiaries in the bankruptcy, liquidation or administration of any other Security Provider or have the benefit of, or share in, any payment from or composition with any Security Provider or other Security Document now or hereafter held by the Security Trustee or any of the Beneficiaries for any obligations or liabilities of any Security

Provider but so that, if so directed by the Security Trustee, it will prove for the whole or any part of its claim in the liquidation of any other Security Provider on terms that the benefit of such proof and of all money received by it in respect thereof shall be held on trust for the Security Trustee and applied in or towards discharge of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Group Intercreditor Deed and the Security Trust Agreement.

14.7	Recoveries by the Chargor

If contrary to Clause 2.3 (No Security) or 14.6 (Restriction of the Chargors’ Rights) the Chargor takes or receives the benefit of any security or receives or recovers any money or other property, such security, money or other property shall be held on trust for the Security Trustee and shall be delivered to the Security Trustee on demand.

The Chargor hereby agrees not to assert or enforce (whether by or in a legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise) any “claims” (as defined in section 101(4) of the United States Bankruptcy Code) against the Chargor, whether arising under any applicable law or otherwise, to which the Chargor is or would be entitled. It is hereby acknowledged by the Security Trustee that this Clause 14.8 does not restrict the right of the Chargor to assert or enforce any “claims” against any other Security Provider to the extent that such “claims” arise after all the Security Providers have been released from all their respective obligations and liabilities hereunder.

15.2	Currency Indemnity

No payment to the Security Trustee (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Chargor in respect of which it was made unless and until the Security Trustee shall have received payment in full in the currency in which such obligation or liability was incurred. 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 Chargor and shall be entitled to enforce the charges hereby created to recover the amount of the shortfall.
