INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]  WITHOUT
PREJUDICE & SUBJECT TO CONTRACT  Dear
Malcolm,  Compromise
Agreement  I refer
to our discussions concerning the termination of your employment with Telewest
Communications Group Limited (the Company) by reason of redundancy.  The purpose of this Agreement is to set out
the terms which the Company is prepared to offer you and which are as follows:  1Your employment with the Company will terminate on 5thApril 2009
(the Termination Date).  2.1Until the Termination Date you will
continue to perform and observe your current duties and obligations under  your Contract of Employment and  such other duties and/or directions  as the Company reasonably requests (having
regard to your contractual role status and responsibilities.  2.2In the event that during the
period from the date hereof up to the Termination Date (the Interim) you are
found guilty of gross misconduct entitling the Company to terminate your
employment without notice and without payment in lieu of notice (Justification),
this Agreement shall thereupon cease to have effect.  2.3In the event that during the Interim the
Company terminates your employment without Justification the Company shall pay
you a sum equivalent to the value of the salary and benefits you would have
received during the Interim and pay and provide the payments and benefits due
to you hereunder on and after the Termination Date.  3Subject to paragraph 2.2 above, on the next
available payroll run in April after the Termination Date the Company will
pay to you all outstanding payments owed to you in respect of your basic salary
and other contractual benefits up to and including the Termination Date (less
income tax and employees national insurance and your pension contributions).  Subject to the Companys receipt of this Agreement
signed by you and your independent advisor by the Termination Date, you will
also be paid the following payments less any tax and national insurance and
pension contributions:


3.1A sum in lieu of (at the date of this
agreement) 5 (five) days of accrued, but untaken holiday pro rata to the
Termination Date.  3.2£10,800 (ten thousand eight hundred pounds)
in respect of car allowance payments that would have been paid to you during
your notice period.  3.3Subject to the rules of the pension
scheme, to its registered status not being prejudiced and to such limits on
(and other provisions relating to) contributions and benefits (and/ or the tax
relief thereon) as apply from time to time in accordance with, as the Scheme
may be, the Schemes own rules or the prevailing practice of HM Revenue &
Customs or the provisions of the Finance Act 1984, the Company will procure
that a payment of £14,850 (fourteen thousand and eight hundred and fifty
pounds) is made to the trustees or managers of the pension scheme, to augment
your benefits from it, in lieu of the Companys contributions which would have
otherwise been made on or after the Termination Date in respect of your membership
of it.  At the Termination Date, you will receive £47,350 (forty seven
thousand three hundred and fifty pounds) (being the Companys pension
contributions in excess of the salary cap) paid in cash, to the extent that you
have not already elected by notice in writing that the whole or part of that
amount shall be paid by the Company into the scheme.  Any payment into the
Scheme by the Company hereunder is conditional upon and subject to you making
payment to the scheme of £18,562.50 (eighteen thousand and five hundred and
sixty two pounds and 50 pence) in respect of your the pension contributions you
would otherwise have made during the notice period.  3.4£360,500 (three hundred and
sixty thousand and five hundred pounds) representing the salary that would have
been paid to you during your notice period.  3.5All payments under paragraphs 3.1-3.4 above
will be paid into the bank account into which your salary is normally paid on
the next available payroll run in April following the Termination Date and
after your Form P45 has been issued.  4.The Company further agrees to pay you by
way of compensation for the termination of your employment and you agree to
accept the sum of £103,990.38 (one hundred and three thousand and nine hundred
and ninety pounds and 38 pence). This payment will be paid into the bank
account into which your salary is normally paid on the next available payroll
run in April following the Termination Date and after the issue of your Form P45.  The first £30,000 (thirty thousand pounds) of
the monies paid under this paragraph will be paid without deduction of tax or
nationalinsurance. The Company will deduct tax at the basic
rate from the balance of any payment over £30,000 (thirty thousand pounds) and
pay this to HMRC. This payment will be made subject tothe
Companys receipt of this Agreement signed by you and your independent adviser
by the Termination Date.  Other than the
tax and national insurance to be deducted by the Company, you will indemnify
the Company in respect of any further income tax or employees national
insurance and in respect of any interest and/or any penalties thereon for which
the Company has to account to HMRC) in respect of this payment or the other
payments to be made or benefits provided to you


under
this Agreement (save where such interest and/or penalties result directly from
any delay on the part of the Company or are in respect of income tax or
employees national insurance contributions already deducted at source by the
Company).  However, it is agreed that no
such payment of income tax, employees national insurance contributions,
interest or penalty will be made to HMRC without particulars of the relevant
assessments or demands and of any proposed payment being sent to you promptly
at the above address.  The Company shall
at your request take such steps as you reasonably request (including at your
expense) appealing the same to contest any such assessment or demand and give
you all reasonable co-operation in connection therewith.  5The Company will maintain private medical
and dental insurance on the same terms on which you and your family currently
enjoy these benefits subject to the rules of the scheme for a period of
twelve months from the Termination Date or until the date on which you take up
full time employment with another employer whichever is earlier.  6The Company will make a pro-rated payment
of bonus in respect of the bonus year in which termination takes place (the
Relevant Bonus Year).  This will be
pro-rated to reflect the period of the Relevant Bonus Year from its
commencement until the Termination Date. 
The payment will be made at the same time as bonus payments are made
generally in respect of the Relevant Bonus Year (which is usually in the March following
the end of a bonus calendar year) and the pro rata bonus will be determined
fairly and in good faith applying as appropriate the established financial
performance criteria which relate to you and your peers, but subject always to
the terms applicable to the relevant bonus scheme (except any which would
normally preclude your entitlement to a pro rata bonus).  7The Company confirms that you will be
treated as a Good Leaver terminated by virtue of redundancy in relation to the
vesting of any share options, restricted stock and long-term incentive plan (LTIP)
entitlements and that it will make or procure the making of recommendations to
the Compensation Committee in respect of its exercise of its discretion to
permit you to benefit from any such vesting which would have occurred, and the
additional period you would have had for exercise of options, if you had
remained employed for a further 12 months (your current notice entitlement) and
that such recommendations shall be fair and reasonable in all the circumstances
(although for the avoidance of doubt the Compensation Committee shall not be
bound to follow those recommendations). For the avoidance of doubt the Company
agrees that the third and final tranche of your Restricted Stock due to vest on
1 January 2009 will vest subject to the achievement of any applicable
performance criteria and the terms of such Restricted Stock.  8You authorise the Company to deduct any
sums due to the Company from you from the monies payable under this Agreement.  9You should submit your final expenses
claim, if any, made up to the Termination Date within 14 days of the
Termination Date.  You will be reimbursed
for all expenses reasonably incurred by you in the proper performance of your
duties in accordance with normal Company guidelines.  10You confirm that you will return by the
Termination Date to the Company; all books, documents, papers, computer discs
and other media (including


copies), credit cards, keys, computers, mobile
telephones and all other property in whatever format belonging to or relating
to the business of the Company or any Group Company or any of their suppliers,
agents or clients.  You further confirm

personal computer used by you (except computers in the Companys ownership,
possession or control) all documents and information belonging to, obtained
from, or prepared for the Company or any Group Company or any of their
respective customers or clients.  11Protection of the Companys business interests:  11.1You acknowledge that following termination
of your employment you will be in a position to compete unfairly with the

developed at the expense of the Telewest Group.
