5.1NGL shall procure that the Buyer acquires such title to the Additional Assets as NGL and the Transferors have, free from all Security Interests (other than a Security Interest which

will be released on or prior to Completion) and any other third party rights of any other nature.

5.2NGL shall procure that such title and interest as NGL and the Transferors have agreed to transfer pursuant to clause 5.1 and risk in respect of the Additional Assets shall pass to the Buyer on Completion.  Title to all Additional Assets which can be transferred by delivery shall pass on delivery and such delivery shall (where practicable) be deemed to take place at the Additional Properties or other premises used by the Irish Cable Business on Completion.  NGL and each Transferor shall be a trustee for the Buyer in respect of the Additional Assets held by it until the same shall have been actually delivered and/or, in the case of Additional Assets not capable of transfer by delivery, formally transferred or assigned to the Buyer.

5.3The provisions of clauses 5.1 and 5.2 shall not apply to the Additional Properties in respect of which the provisions of Schedule 2 shall apply.

5.4Subject to the provisions of Schedule 2 in relation to Additional Properties, NGL shall, and shall procure that the Transferors (and/or the relevant members of the Core Group) shall, upon signing this Agreement and until all title to the Additional Assets has been transferred to the Buyer by NGL and the Transferors, use all reasonable endeavours to maintain the same level of insurance as is in place at Completion in respect of such Additional Assets and NGL shall from Completion hold the Additional Assets in trust for the Buyer absolutely until they have been delivered, formally transferred or assigned to the Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall act in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions in respect of any Additional Asset which it so holds as trustee.  NGL shall, or shall procure that the relevant Transferors (and/or the relevant members of the Core Group) shall, if so required by the Buyer, produce from time to time the policies of such insurance together with receipts for the applicable premiums for inspection.  The Buyer shall not do or omit to be done anything or permit any other member of its Group (including, following Completion, the Target Group) to do or omit to do anything which might reasonably be expected to render any such policy void or voidable.

5.5The proceeds of all claims under any insurance covering or relating to the Additional Assets shall form part of the Additional Assets and shall be acquired by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (or, to the extent they cannot be acquired by the Buyer, NGL shall, and shall procure that the Transferors (and/or any relevant members of the Core Group) shall, pay an amount equal to such proceeds to the Buyer).

5.6Pending the transfer of title to any Additional Asset to the Buyer, NGL shall not, and shall procure that the relevant Transferor shall not, encumber or create or agree to create any Security Interest (other than a Permitted Security Interest) over such Additional Asset and shall to the extent that NGL or a member of the NTL Group is capable of so doing take all reasonable steps (but without any obligation to incur additional expense, cost or liability other than as set out in clause 5.4) to preserve and protect such Additional Asset and to prevent any damage being done to such Additional Asset.

6.ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFITS AND ASSUMPTION OF BURDENS

6.1Insofar as any Additional Asset cannot effectively be assigned or transferred under this Agreement to the Buyer except by novation or otherwise with the consent, approval or waiver from a third party or if the assignment or transfer could otherwise cause a breach of any agreement comprising an Additional Asset in the absence of an appropriate consent, approval or waiver from a third party being obtained, the sale of such Additional Asset shall (unless the Buyer otherwise determines in its absolute discretion) be subject to and conditional upon such consent, approval, waiver or novation being obtained and:

6.1.1the Buyer and NGL shall, or, in the case of NGL, NGL shall procure that the relevant Transferors shall, take all reasonable steps (but without NGL or such Transferors incurring additional external expenditure other than their reasonable legal expenses) to procure that such necessary consent, approval, waiver or novation for the transfer of such Additional Asset is obtained as soon as reasonably practicable after Completion (to the extent not obtained prior thereto);

6.1.2pending any such consent, approval, waiver or novation being obtained, NGL shall, or shall procure that the relevant Transferor shall, hold the benefit of the relevant Additional Asset on trust for the Buyer and shall accordingly pay or deliver to the Buyer promptly upon receipt by NGL or the Transferors or any other member of the Core Group any sums or other assets received by it which relate to any such Additional Asset and otherwise permit the Buyer to enjoy the full benefit of any such Additional Asset;

6.1.3in the case of any Additional Contract which requires consent, approval, waiver or novation to be obtained, the Buyer shall at its election either:

(a)(at the Buyer’s cost) following Completion, perform all the obligations of NGL under any such Additional Contract as its agent or sub-contractor and pay to NGL an amount equal to any and all liabilities (and all costs reasonably incurred by it) arising in connection with any such Additional Contract; or

(b)with effect from Completion, assume the obligations of NGL under such Additional Contract and carry out, perform and complete all the obligations and liabilities created by or arising under such Additional Contract and pay to NGL an amount equal to any and all liabilities (and all costs reasonably incurred) which NGL suffers or incurs in connection with any such Additional Contract or otherwise by reason of the Buyer’s failure to comply with its obligations under this clause 6.1.3.

6.2If any necessary consent, approval, waiver or novation is not obtained within eighteen (18) months after Completion or is refused and the procedure set out in clause 6.1 does not enable the full benefit of any Additional Asset to be enjoyed by the Buyer after Completion, the parties shall use their reasonable endeavours (but without NGL or any Transferors incurring additional external expenditure other than reasonable legal expenses) to achieve an alternative solution pursuant to which the Buyer shall both receive the full benefits of that Additional Asset and assume the Assumed Liabilities in respect of that Additional Asset.

6.3If it is necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Buyer, desirable for the novation of any Additional Contract to be effected by the termination of such Additional Contract and the entry into by the Buyer and the relevant counterparty of a new contract on substantially equivalent terms (provided that all accrued liabilities upon such termination are assumed by the Buyer), NGL shall, and shall procure that any other relevant member of the Core Group shall (in each case without incurring additional external expenditure other than reasonable legal expenses), co-operate fully with the Buyer for such purpose including, without limitation, by participating in all discussions and negotiations with the relevant counterparty.

6.4The provisions of this clause 6 shall not apply to Additional Properties in respect of which the provisions of Schedule 2 shall apply.

7.ASSUMED LIABILITIES

7.1The Buyer irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to NGL that, with effect from Completion, it shall properly perform, assume and pay and discharge when due, and pay on demand to NGL (for itself and on behalf of the Transferors and each other member of the Core Group) an amount equal to the amount of, all Assumed Liabilities and any losses, costs, expenses, claims, demands, damages or liabilities arising from any failure of the Buyer to obtain the consent of any landlord required for the transfer and assignment of any Additional Property.

7.2The Buyer, for itself and its successors and assigns, covenants that, as soon as practicable after Completion it will, at its own expense, execute and deliver all such further instruments of assumption and acknowledgements and take such other action as NGL may reasonably request in order to effect the release and discharge in full of any Assumed Liability or the assumption by the Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities and the substitution of the Buyer as the primary obligor in respect of the Assumed Liabilities in each case on a non-recourse basis to NGL, any Transferor or any other member of the Core Group.

7.3Following Completion, the Buyer shall use all reasonable endeavours to obtain the release (with effect from becoming aware of the same) of NGL and the Transferors or any other member of the Core Group from any guarantee, security, bond, letter of comfort or other similar obligation given or incurred by it to the extent relating to Additional Assets or

Assumed Liabilities and, pending such release but following and subject to Completion, the Buyer unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall, as a continuing obligation, pay on demand to NGL and the Transferors and/or any other member of the Core Group an amount equal to, any loss or payment obligation which NGL or any such Transferor or member of the Core Group may incur at any time or from time to time (and all costs and expenses which such company may incur including reasonable legal fees and together with any applicable VAT) in connection with any such guarantee, security, bond, letter of comfort or other similar obligation PROVIDED THAT the Buyer shall not be liable to pay NGL, the Transferors or any member of the Core Group to the extent of any liability which arises as a result of a breach of the Warranties or the Repeated Warranties (as such terms are defined in the Sale and Purchase Agreement) or in respect of which the Buyer has a claim under the Tax Deed.  In particular, NGL acknowledges that landlord’s consent will be required for the release or substitution of NGL as guarantor under the West Corner Unit lease, and NGL agrees to use all reasonable endeavours (which shall not extend to making any external payment other than in respect of its own reasonable legal costs) to assist the Buyer in the procurement of landlord’s consent following Completion.  NGL further acknowledges that, subject to the Buyer complying with its obligations under this clause 7.3, the Buyer will have no liability whatsoever towards NGL, any Transferor or any other member of the Core Group in the event that landlord’s consent as aforesaid is not forthcoming or is delayed.

8.RIGHTS UNDER SHARED CORE CONTRACTS

8.1Following Completion, NGL shall, or shall procure that the relevant member of the Core Group shall, at the request of the Buyer, take all reasonable steps to enforce any rights that it may have under the terms of any Shared Core Contract in respect of any defect or fault in any goods, services and/or facilities provided to any member of the Target Group prior to Completion under the terms of any such Shared Core Contract and shall pass on to the Buyer (or as it may direct) any reimbursement or other benefit obtained by it through such enforcement PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT the Buyer complies with its obligations in clause 8.2 AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT neither NGL nor any member of the Core Group shall be required to take any action which it reasonably considers may be detrimental to the continued existence or terms of the relevant Shared Core Contract.

8.2The Buyer unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, as a continuing obligation, to pay on demand to NGL (for itself and as trustee for each member of the Core Group) an amount equal to any loss which NGL or any other member of the Core Group may incur following Completion (and all costs and expenses which such company may incur including reasonable legal fees and together with any applicable VAT) as a result of any steps taken by NGL or any member of the Core Group pursuant to clause 8.1 to enforce the terms of any Shared Core Contract in respect of any defect or fault in any goods, services and/or facilities provided to any member of the Target Group under the terms of such Shared Core Contract.

9.RECORDS

Following Completion, NGL undertakes to, and to procure that each Transferor shall, forward and transfer to the Buyer, as soon as practicable, any payments, documents, information, communications or correspondence which it or any other member of the Core Group may receive from time to time in relation to the Additional Assets and/or the Assumed Liabilities or which should properly have been paid to or received by the Buyer, and that any payments, documents or information as aforesaid so received by it or by the Transferors after Completion in relation to the Additional Assets shall be held as agent of and trustee for the Buyer pending such transfer.

10.POST-COMPLETION

If NGL or any member of the Core Group or the NTL Group receives any monies after Completion which relate to the Additional Assets (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Assets Consideration), it shall (subject to any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement) hold them on trust for and account to the Buyer for them within 10 (ten) Business Days of receipt.

11.FURTHER ASSURANCE

11.2On and at any time after Completion, NGL shall, and shall procure that the Transferors shall, give to the Buyer all such information and other assistance (including, without limitation, particulars of suppliers and others who have dealt with the Transferors in connection with the Additional Assets) as the Buyer may reasonably require in connection with the use of the Additional Assets and for the purpose of implementing the provisions of this Agreement.

12.APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
