|4.1 | During the continuance of his employment, the Executive will be entitled
    to a salary at the rate of £450,000 per annum (or such higher rate as
    may from time to time to be agreed between the parties hereto) subject to
    an annual review in July in each year and such further merit reviews as the
    Board (acting in consultation with the Remuneration Committee) may in its
    sole discretion deem appropriate.

|4.2 | The Executive's salary will accrue from day to day and shall be payable by
    equal monthly instalments in accordance with Company policy in effect from
    time to time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|   
|4.3 | The Executive shall be eligible to be considered for a bonus. Such bonus
    (if any) is awarded at the absolute discretion of the Remuneration Committee.
    Any such bonus would be based on performance criteria adopted by the Remuneration
    Committee for each financial year during which the Executive is employed
    which may include earnings growth, subscriber growth, magnitude of free cash
    flow and such other criteria as agreed with the Executive. For guidance only,
    if the Executive met all performance criteria specified and the discretion
    to award a bonus was exercised, a bonus could be up to 100% of salary but
    should not in any event exceed 125% of salary. This is not a contractual
    commitment. The Executive will be treated consistently as regards the application
    of the relevant criteria with other senior executives of the Company having
    regard to his own level of responsibility and seniority.
|   
|4.4 | The bonus (if any) due to the Executive will be paid after the adoption of
    the accounts for the relevant year. For the avoidance of doubt but subject
    always to the provisions of clause 17, when
the Executives employment ends he will receive a bonus, as and when the
amount of the same is calculated, which is pro rata to his length of service
during the year in which the Date of Termination occurs.

|4.5 | The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Companys Long
    Term Incentive Plan for senior executives (the LTIP), in accordance
    with the rules of the LTIP from time to time, the vesting of which shall
    be subject to performance criteria to be set by the Remuneration Committee.

      may be, in competition with the relevant member of the Group, any person
      employed by the Company or any member of the Group in a senior executive
      capacity at the Date of Termination with whom the Executive has had material
      dealings during the year preceding the Date of Termination with a view to
      inducing that person to leave such employment and to act for another employer
      in the same, or a similar, capacity in relation to the same field of work.

      15.2.2, 15.2.3, 15.4 and 15.5 hereof are separate and severable and in the
      event of any such restriction (including clause 15.3) being determined as
      being unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason such unenforceability
      shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining restrictions or in
      the case of part of a restriction being unenforceable, the remainder of
      that restriction.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|    
|15.8 | The restrictions entered into by the
      Executive in sub-clauses 15.2.1, 15.2.2, 15.2.3, 15.4 and 15.5 are given
      to the Company for itself and as trustee for any member of the Group and
      the Executive agrees that he will at the request and cost of the Company
      enter into a further agreement with any such company whereby he will accept
      restrictions corresponding to the restrictions in this Agreement (or such
      of them as that company in its discretion shall deem appropriate). The Company
      declares that insofar as these restrictions relate to any member of the
      Group it holds the benefit of them as trustee. In exercising any right as
      trustee hereunder the Company shall be entitled to limit the action it takes
      to such action as it may, in its absolute discretion, consider reasonable.

|16.1 | If either the Executive or
      the Company gives notice to terminate the Executives employment the
      Company may require the Executive to take Garden Leave for all
      or part of the remaining period of the Executives employment. If the
      Executive is asked to take Garden Leave he may not attend at his place of
      work or any of the Company premises (as well as any associated company).
      The Executive may not be required to carry out duties during the remaining
      period of employment. During any period of Garden Leave the Executive will
      continue to receive full salary and benefits and all of the obligations
      that the Executive has to the Company by virtue of this Agreement and at
      common law remain in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt the
      Executive will continue to be eligible to be considered for a bonus in accordance
      with clause 4.3 during any period of Garden Leave.
|    
|16.2 | If the Company gives notice
      to terminate this Agreement the maximum period for which the Executive can
      be on Garden Leave is that which is stated as the Executives notice
