(b) If the Final Share Purchase Price is lower than the Initial Share Purchase Price, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the difference plus an amount equal to interest at the Interest Rate on such sum for the period between Completion and the date of payment.

23

5.3 The Final Share Purchase Price shall be apportioned among the Target Ordinary Shares and the UK Progco Shares as set out in Schedule 8.

5.4 The Estimated Finance Amount paid by the Buyer to the Seller at Completion is subject to adjustment and accordingly within five (5) Business Days following the Completion Accounts becoming or being deemed final and binding in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 5 if the AFRA:

(a) is greater than the Estimated Financing Amount, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the difference plus an amount equal to interest at the Interest Rate on such sum for the period between Completion and the date of payment; and

(b) is less than the Estimated Financing Amount, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the difference plus an amount equal to interest at the Interest Rate on such sum for the period between Completion and the date of payment.

5.5

(a) Provided that the Seller makes the payments provided for by Clause 5.5(b)(ii) (if any such payments are due) the Buyer shall and shall procure that none of the Target Group Companies shall make any claim or demand against or take any steps to obtain payment from the Seller or any member of the Virgin Media Group for or in respect of the Intercompany Amount or any receivable or payable forming part thereof or comprised or reflected therein (but, for the avoidance of doubt this shall not affect any obligations of the Seller pursuant to Clause 2 or to paragraphs 1 and/or 2 of Schedule 3 of the Transitional Services Agreement) and the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller and the other members of the Virgin Media Group and hold them harmless in respect of any such claim, demand or action.

(b) Within five (5) Business Days following the Completion Accounts becoming or being deemed final and binding in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 5 so that the Intercompany Amount is determined:

(i) If the Intercompany Amount is a negative number the Buyer shall pay or procure that the Target Group Companies shall pay to the Seller the amount by which such negative number is less than zero plus an amount equal to interest at the Interest Rate on such sum for the period between Completion and the date of payment; and

(ii) If the Intercompany Amount is a positive number the Seller shall pay to the Buyer (as agent for the Target Group Companies) such amount plus an amount equal to interest at the Interest Rate on such sum for the period between Completion and the date of payment and the Buyer undertakes with the Seller (a) to account to the Target Group Companies promptly as appropriate for such amount (and such amount representing interest) and (b) if requested by the Seller, to procure, so far as the Buyer is reasonably able that the Target Group Companies release the Seller and all other members of the Virgin Media Group from all claims and demands which any of the Target Group Companies

24

may have against the Seller in respect of the Intercompany Amount and any receivable or payable forming part thereof or comprised or reflected therein. For the avoidance of doubt nothing in this sub-clause shall relieve the Seller from its obligations pursuant to Clause 2 or to paragraphs 1 and/or 2 of Schedule 3 of the Transitional Services Agreement.

5.6 Any payment to be made pursuant to Clause 5.1 to 5.5 shall be made:

(i) if to the Seller, by banker’s draft or telegraphic transfer to an account notified by the Seller to the Buyer not later than three (3) Business Days following the date on which the Completion Accounts are agreed or determined (and if such account is not notified to the Buyer at least two (2) Business Days before the time such payment is due to be paid, then no interest shall accrue until two (2) Business Days after the day it is so notified).

(ii) if to the Buyer, by banker’s draft or telegraphic transfer to an account notified by the Buyer to the Seller not later than three (3) Business Days following the date on which the Completion Accounts are agreed or determined (and if such account is not notified to the Seller at least two (2) Business Days before the time such payment is due to be paid, then no interest shall accrue until two (2) Business Days after the day it is so notified).

5.7 Following the payments provided for pursuant to Clauses 5.1 to 5.5 the Seller shall be responsible for accounting to each of its relevant Affiliates (and where applicable recovering sums from each relevant Affiliate) and, in respect of any amounts due to or by such Affiliate, the Buyer shall have no liability in respect of such division of funds.

5.8 The Final Share Purchase Price shall be deemed to be adjusted to the extent possible by the amount of any payment made to or by the Buyer in respect of a Substantiated Claim, a Substantiated SPA Claim or a Tax Claim or in respect of or under any other provision of this Agreement.

5.9 Any adjustment in the Final Share Purchase Price as referred to in Clause 5.8 above, shall be allocated where possible to the Target Shares and/or the UK Progco Shares to which the breach, Substantiated Claim, Substantiated SPA Claim or Tax Claim or other payment relates.

6. PRE-COMPLETION UNDERTAKINGS

6.1 The Seller undertakes to the Buyer that, from the date of this Agreement to Completion, it will use its good faith efforts to procure, so far as it is able in its capacity as a shareholder, that the UKTV Business is carried on in the ordinary course and in particular the Seller shall not vote, in its capacity as a shareholder, and shall so far as it is able procure that the directors of the Target Companies and UK Progco appointed by it by virtue of its holding of Target Shares in the respective Target Companies shall not vote in favour of any matter (not being a matter within the ordinary course of business of the UKTV Business) which requires a Unanimous Shareholders’ Decision or Special Majority Consent (as each of those terms is

25

defined in the relevant UKTV Shareholders’ Agreement) under the UKTV Shareholders’ Agreements, without the prior written approval of the Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably refused or unduly delayed (and which shall be deemed to have been given by the Buyer if not specifically refused in writing by notice given to the Seller within seven (7) days of a request in writing by the Seller), provided that nothing in this Clause 6 shall:

(a) operate to prevent, limit or restrict the Seller or any member of the Virgin Media Group:

(i) from approving the declaration of any dividend or the making of any distribution or payment of interest or principal pursuant to any Shareholder Financing Agreement or other payment in the ordinary course of business from any of the Target Companies including any dividend declared on or after the date hereof by reference to any period ending on or before the Completion Date (including the declaration of the UKTV Dividend and/or the BBCW Dividend; or

(ii) from receiving payment of any such principal or interest or other such payment by any Target Company or from receiving a dividend or distribution as specified in Clause 6.1(a)(i) above (including the UKTV Dividend); or

(iii) operate to prevent, limit or restrict the making by any Target Company of any such payment as referred to in Clause 6.1(a)(i) above; and

(b) to the extent that the provisions of this Clause 6.1 would operate to prevent, limit or restrict any decision or action which the Target Companies, UK Progco and/or any other Target Group Company wishes to take, the same may nevertheless be taken if and to the extent it is permitted or required by any provision of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Consent and Waiver Letter, the SHA/Guarantee Deed of Release or the Management and Marketing Termination Agreement, or reasonably required to give effect to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Consent and Waiver Letter, the SHA/Guarantee Deed of Release or the Management and Marketing Termination Agreement.

6.2 The Seller further undertakes to the Buyer that, to the extent it has not already done so, promptly following the signature of this Agreement it will send the Ofcom Notification to Ofcom.

6.3 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 3 and to the Seller’s obligations under the Irish Competition Act 2002 and the Jersey Competition Law and the obligations of the Target Companies thereunder, the Buyer shall submit a merger notification for the merger control clearances contemplated by Clause 3 not later than fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of this Agreement and shall take the lead, subject to the obligation to cooperate with the Seller (and the Seller’s obligation to cooperate with the Buyer) in relation to such filings, in dealings with the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA. The Seller and the Buyer shall co-operate with one another in respect of the preparation of such applications and in subsequent dealings with the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA and the Buyer agrees

26

to have reasonable regard to any comments which the Seller makes to the Buyer in respect of any proposed communication.

6.4 To the extent that the Seller is required to co-operate in the making and pursuit of the application to the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA under Clause 6.3 it shall:

(b) promptly provide all information and assistance reasonably required by the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA (or for the purpose of making any submission to any relevant Authority) upon being requested to do so by the relevant Authority or by the Buyer;

(c) where reasonably practicable and lawfully permitted, provide to the Buyer copies of any proposed, submitted and received communication with the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA (other than those of an administrative nature) to which the Seller is party, together with any supporting documentation or information reasonably requested by the Buyer, provided that the Seller shall not be required to disclose any Confidential Information or business secrets which have not previously been disclosed to the Buyer.

6.5 As the Buyer is responsible under Clause 6.3 for applying for any approval, consent or clearance from the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA, it shall:

(a) (without prejudice to Clause 6.3) make the applications and any associated notifications, requests or submissions validly and promptly to the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA (as applicable) and shall pay all relevant filing fees;

(b) deal with all requests and enquiries from the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA (as applicable) promptly in consultation with the Seller and in any event in accordance with any relevant time limit;

6.6 The Seller and the Buyer agree to keep each other fully informed as to the progress of any application made pursuant to Clause 6.3 and of all actions being taken to secure the satisfaction of the Competition Conditions and where requested by the other Party, a Party shall permit such other Party or its respective advisers to attend

27

all meetings with the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA (unless prohibited by the Irish Competition Authority or the JCRA) and where appropriate to make oral submissions at such meetings.

6.7 Without prejudice to the requirement in Clause 3.2 for the Parties to use reasonable endeavours to satisfy the Competition Conditions:

(a) the Buyer shall give any reasonable undertakings that may be required by the Irish Competition Authority in order to avoid an investigation under section 22 of the Irish Competition Act 2002 or otherwise in order to procure or facilitate the satisfaction of the Irish Condition provided any such undertakings would not cause a material reduction in the value of the Target Shares to be acquired by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and/or have a material adverse effect on any business carried on by the Buyer Group as carried on at the date hereof;

(b) the Buyer shall give any reasonable undertakings as may be required by the JCRA in order to avoid a full investigation by the JCRA pursuant to Competition (Jersey) Law 2005 Guidelines No. 6 Mergers and Acquisitions or otherwise in order to facilitate the satisfaction of the Jersey Condition provided any such undertakings would not cause a material reduction in the value of the Target Shares to be acquired by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and/or have a material adverse effect on any business carried on by the Buyer Group as carried on at the date hereof; and

(c) prior to finalising the text of any undertaking to be given to the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA the Buyer shall notify the Seller of such text to the extent it is permitted to do so by the Irish Competition Authority and/or the JCRA as the case may be.

6.8 To the extent any Target Group Company enjoys any insurance protection pursuant to any insurance policies taken out by or in the name of any member of the Virgin Media Group (“Target Policies”) such protection shall be maintained in full force and effect until (but (save as provided by the terms of Clauses 6.9, 6.10 and 6.11 below) not beyond) Completion unless and to the extent a member of the Virgin Media Group decides that the amount, scope or coverage provided by any Target Policy shall be increased for all companies enjoying protection pursuant thereto in which case the insurance protection maintained for the relevant Target Group Company shall be varied accordingly for the period until (but not beyond) Completion.

6.9 The Buyer acknowledges that it will be the responsibility of the Buyer and the other shareholders of the Target Group Companies to arrange appropriate insurance cover for the Target Group Companies in respect of liabilities occurring on or after the date of Completion and that after Completion the Target Group Companies shall cease to be insured by the Target Policies, provided that no termination of coverage of the Target Group Companies under any “occurrence based” Target Policy in force immediately prior to Completion shall be affected so as to prevent the Target Group Companies or any member of the Buyer Group from recovering under such policies for loss already insured thereunder from events occurring prior to the Completion Date. Any claim shall be subject to the policy limits and scope of the cover under the Target Group Policies for any relevant year and subject to any deductible applicable thereunder for any year, the cost of which shall be borne by the relevant Target Group Companies and not by the Seller.

28

6.10 The Seller shall procure and arrange through Willis Limited, or otherwise, at its own cost, that the Target Policies shall, from and after Completion, provide the following cover for the Target Group Companies in respect of Directors’ & Officers’ Liability for acts of (i) those directors of the Target Group Companies who were appointed by a member of the Virgin Media Group pursuant to the provisions of the UKTV Shareholders’ Agreements (or the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Target Group Companies) and (ii) directors and officers of Target Group Companies who are also employees of one or more of those companies, excluding, however, those directors of the Target Group Companies who were appointed by BBC Worldwide. The acts so covered shall be acts occurring prior to Completion and where a claim under the Target Policy in respect of the act in question is notified to the relevant insurers within the period of 24 months following Completion. Such cover shall have an aggregate limit of $25 million (with retentions to be borne by the Target Group Companies) and shall cover the same risks as was provided for the persons specified in (i) above immediately prior to the date hereof, subject always to such cover continuing to be available on normal commercial terms.

6.11 Any claim made under the Target Policies (a “Target Company Claim”) shall be made and pursued exclusively by the Seller or by another member of the Virgin Media Group, and the Seller agrees to take such action as the Buyer may reasonably request in order to make, pursue or manage any Target Company Claim.

6.12 The Buyer undertakes to procure that the Target Group Companies shall reimburse the Seller forthwith on demand for any third party costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller in taking action as requested in Clause 6.11 or otherwise in association with the making, pursuing, managing or settling of any Target Company Claim.

7.1 In consideration of the Seller entering into this Agreement, the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as a primary obligation to the Seller and each member of the Virgin Media Group and their respective successors, transferees and assigns (each a “Guaranteed Person”) the full, prompt and complete performance and observance by the Buyer of all the Buyer’s payment and other obligations as and when they fall due for payment or performance (as applicable) under this Agreement and the full and prompt performance and observance of the Buyer’s obligations under the RCF Deed of Novation and the Loan Stock Transfers arising now or in the future (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

7.2 If the Buyer defaults in the payment when due of any amount it is obliged to pay to a Guaranteed Person under this Agreement or any of the RCF Deed of Novation and the Loan Stock Transfers, the Guarantor shall immediately on demand by the relevant Guaranteed Person, unconditionally pay that amount to the Guaranteed Person in the manner prescribed in this Agreement as if the Guarantor were the Buyer.

7.3 As an independent and primary obligation, without prejudice to Clauses 7.1 and/or 7.2, the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to indemnify (on an after Tax basis) and keep indemnified each Guaranteed Person from and against all and any losses, damages, costs and expenses suffered or incurred by a Guaranteed Person arising from failure of the Buyer to comply with any of the Guaranteed

29

Obligations or through any of the Guaranteed Obligations becoming unenforceable, invalid or illegal (on any grounds, whether known to a Guaranteed Person or not).

7.4 The guarantee and indemnity contained in this Clause 7 are continuing and shall extend to the ultimate balance of sums or the obligations comprised in the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part, and they shall not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 7.4, would reduce, release or prejudice any of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Clause 7 (without limitation and whether or not known to the Guarantor, the Seller or a Guaranteed Person).

7.5 If any payment by the Buyer or any discharge given by a Guaranteed Person pursuant to this Agreement or any of the RCF Deed of Novation or the Loan Stock Transfers is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event, the liability of the Buyer and Guarantor shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred and the relevant Guaranteed Person shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment. The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring a Guaranteed Person (or any trustee or agent on their behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Clause 6.7.5.

7.6 Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Buyer under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise comprised in the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full:

(a) a Guaranteed Person (or any trustee or agent on their behalf) may hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any monies received from the Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 7 and may, as it sees fit, apply or not apply any other monies, securities or rights in respect of those overdue amounts but not otherwise;

(b) the Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under this Clause 7.

7.7 The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause shall be in addition to and independent of all other Security which a Guaranteed Person may at any time hold in respect of any of the obligations of the Buyer or any Guaranteed Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

7.8 The liability of the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be discharged, diminished or in any way affected as a result of:

(a) any time or indulgence or waiver given to, or composition made with, the Buyer or any other person;

(b) any amendment, variation or modification to, or assignment, novation or replacement of this Agreement or any of the RCF Deed of Novation or the Loan Stock Transfers;

(c) the taking, variation, compromise, renewal or release or refusal or neglect to perfect or enforce any right, remedies or securities against the Buyer or any other person;

30

(d) any other guarantee, indemnity, charge or other security or right or remedy held by or available to the Seller or any Guaranteed Person being or becoming wholly or in part void, voidable or unenforceable on any ground whatsoever or by the Seller or any Guaranteed Person from time to time dealing with, exchanging, varying, realising, releasing or failing to perfect or enforce any of the same;

(e) the Guarantor or the Buyer becoming insolvent, going into receivership or liquidation or having an administrator appointed;

(f) any change in the constitution of the Seller or any Guaranteed Person (or their respective successors or assigns) or as a result of the amalgamation or consolidation by the Guarantor with any other company or entity; or

(g) any other act, omission, circumstance, matter or thing which but for this provision might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the Guarantor from its obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations whether in whole or in part.

7.9 The Guaranteed Obligations shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding:

(a) the fact that any purported obligation of the Buyer or any other person to the Seller or any Guaranteed Person (or any security therefor) becomes wholly or partly void, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whether or not known to the Seller or any Guaranteed Person or the Guarantor;

(b) any incapacity or any change in the constitution of, or any amalgamation or reconstruction of, the Guarantor or the Buyer or any other matter whatsoever; or

(c) any assignment by the Buyer of any of its rights under this Agreement pursuant to Clause 15.3 or under any of the RCF Deed of Novation or the Loan Stock Transfers.

7.10 Subject to Clause 7.11 below, until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid and discharged in full the Guarantor will not:

(a) be subrogated to or otherwise entitled to share in, any security or monies held, received or receivable by the Seller or be entitled to any right of contribution in respect of any payment made by the Guarantor hereunder;

(b) exercise or enforce any of its rights of subrogation and indemnity against the Buyer or any co-surety;

(c) following a claim being made on the Guarantor hereunder, demand or accept repayment of any monies due from the Buyer to the Guarantor or claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Buyer; or

(d) claim or prove in a liquidation or other insolvency proceeding of the Buyer or any co-surety in competition with the Seller or any Guaranteed Person.

7.11 Following the making of a demand on the Guarantor by the Seller or any Guaranteed Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor will (at

31

its own cost) promptly take such of the steps or action as are referred to in Clause 7.10 above as the Seller or relevant Guaranteed Person may from time to time stipulate.

7.12 The Guarantor shall only be liable for a claim made under the Guarantee in this Clause 7 by the Seller in respect of the liability of the Buyer under this Agreement if the Seller has given the Guarantor written notice of such a claim prior to the expiration of six (6) years after the Completion Date.

8. SELLER GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

8.3 As an independent and primary obligation, without prejudice to Clauses 8.1 and/or 8.2, the Seller Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to indemnify (on an after Tax basis) and keep indemnified each Seller Guaranteed Person from and against all and any losses, damages, costs and expenses suffered or incurred by a Seller Guaranteed Person arising from failure of the Seller to comply with any of the Seller Guaranteed Obligations or through any of the Seller Guaranteed Obligations becoming unenforceable, invalid or illegal (on any grounds, whether known to a Seller Guaranteed Person or not).

8.4 The guarantee and indemnity contained in this Clause 8 are continuing and shall extend to the ultimate balance of sums or the obligations comprised in the Seller Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part, and they shall not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 8, would reduce, release or prejudice any of the Seller Guaranteed Obligations under this Clause 8 (without limitation and whether or not known to the Seller Guarantor, the Buyer or a Seller Guaranteed Person).

8.5 If any payment by the Seller or any discharge given by a Seller Guaranteed Person pursuant to this Agreement or any of the RCF Deed of Novation or the Loan Stock Transfers is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event, the liability of the Buyer and Seller Guarantor shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred and the relevant Seller Guaranteed Person shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security

32

or payment. The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring a Seller Guaranteed Person (or any trustee or agent on their behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Seller Guarantor under this Clause 8.5.

8.6 Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Seller under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise comprised in the Seller Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full:

(b) the Seller Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under this Clause 8.

8.7 The obligations of the Seller Guarantor under this Clause 8 shall be in addition to and independent of all other Security which a Seller Guaranteed Person may at any time hold in respect of any of the obligations of the Seller or any Seller Guaranteed Person with respect to the Seller Guaranteed Obligations.

8.8 The liability of the Seller Guarantor with respect to the Seller Guaranteed Obligations shall not be discharged, diminished or in any way affected as a result of:

9.5 The Seller hereby declares that from the Completion Date until the earlier of (i) the date that the Buyer or its nominee becomes the registered holder of any of the Target Shares or the UK Progco Shares and (ii) thirty (30) days after the Completion Date (the “Registration Period”), it will:
