Yes, of course you exit SRS but the object of the exercise is to climb at a set speed (V2 +10 or whatever) to 3,000' while still setting a climb to 14,000'. Pulling speed will put you in selected speed at the current ias which can then be fine tuned if required.
Our SOP do not cover this exact situation, it's one of those times when you use the most appropriate modes to achieve the required aim; in this case a continuous climb at a selected speed (who cares if it's selected on the FCU or by raising the aa in the PERF page or by setting a speed constraint at a down route waypoint) to a selected altitude.
I suppose SRS might be a good thing in a windshear scenario but here I'd let it stay in SRS, set 14,000' and if we entered ALT CST* before I had time to pull the alt knob after 3,000' too bad.
