         constitute an Event of Default or, as the case may be, Potential Event
         of Default and (c) hereby agrees that the restriction at paragraph 5.8
         of this letter (and the corresponding restriction contained in the
         consent letter referred to at paragraph 3.1.1 below) will not
         constitute a breach of Clause 18.31 (Restrictions on Payments) of the

         3.1.1    the agent under the Senior Bank Credit Agreement has entered
                  into a consent letter (upon the instructions of an Instructing
                  Group (as defined in the Senior Bank Credit Agreement)) with
                  the Parent (acting on behalf of the Obligors (as defined in

                  under the NTL Group Notes (or any of them) or the granting of
                  any security, guarantee or other credit support in respect of

                  or NTL (Triangle) LLC or any of their respective subsidiaries
                  where such security is required to be granted pursuant to the
                  terms (as at the date hereof) of the indentures constituting
                  the NTL Group Notes issued by Diamond Cable Communications
                  Limited, Diamond Holdings Limited or, as the case may be, NTL
                  Triangle LLC; or

         3.2.3    the entry by any member of the Group into any legally binding
                  agreement with the Noteholders (or any of them) in their

                  (in the context of a restructuring) or the NTL Group Notes (or
                  any of them) (in the context of a restructuring), save for any
                  legally

<PAGE>

                  binding agreements: (a) entered into for the purpose of
                  enabling the provision of information by or to any member of
                  the Group in connection with the Proposed Recapitalisation or
                  to facilitate or enable the progress of non legally binding
                  discussions or negotiations in connection with the Proposed
                  Steps; (b) entered into for the purpose of engaging legal
                  and/or other professional advisors in connection with the
                  Proposed Recapitalisation; (c) under which the Noteholders
                  unconditionally agree for the benefit of the issuer of the
                  relevant NTL Group Notes to waive all or any, and/or agree not
                  to exercise all or any, of their rights in respect of the NTL
                  Group Notes; or (d) under which the Noteholders
                  unconditionally agree for the benefit of the issuer of the
                  relevant NTL Group Notes to a standstill arrangement (or any
                  other arrangement having similar effect) in respect of all or
                  any of their rights in respect of the NTL Group Notes; and

3.3      the Consent shall terminate at 5.30pm (New York time) on 29 March 2002
         and as at such time or any time thereafter the Agent may by written
         notice to the Borrower take any action pursuant to Clause 19.17
         (Acceleration and Cancellation) of the Credit Agreement in respect of
         any Event of Default the subject of the Consent to the extent that, at
         the relevant time, such Event of Default is continuing. For the
         avoidance of doubt, if at such time the NTL CC Negotiations are not
         continuing and no other Proposed Steps are being taken at, or are taken
         after, such time, no Event of Default the subject of the Consent shall
         be continuing.

4.       ACTION BY THE AGENT

         Notwithstanding the Consent, the Agent may take any action deemed
         appropriate pursuant to Clause 19.17 (Acceleration and Cancellation) of
         the Credit Agreement and/or under any Finance Document upon (or at
         anytime after):

4.1      the occurrence of any Event of Default under Clause 19.6 (Cross
         Default) (but only whilst such Event of Default is continuing) other
         than where such Event of Default is in respect of any holder, holders,
         creditor or creditors becoming entitled (by reason of default) to
         declare any Specified Financial Indebtedness due and payable prior to
         its specified maturity by reason of a default arising solely (directly
         or indirectly) as a result of any of the Proposed Steps and such
         Specified Financial Indebtedness is not declared to be or does not
         otherwise become due and payable prior to its specified maturity. For
         the avoidance of doubt, the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, hereby
         acknowledges that no Event of Default will occur under Clause 19.6
         (Cross Default) or Clause 19.7.1 (Insolvency and Rescheduling) in
         respect of Specified Financial Indebtedness arising under the NTL CC
         Notes not being paid when due and payable until such time as the NTL CC
         Noteholders (or any of them) are entitled, under the terms and
         conditions of the NTL CC Notes, to declare any Specified Financial
         Indebtedness representing principal in respect of the NTL CC Notes due
         and payable prior to its specified maturity date; or

4.2      any of the Parent, the Intermediate Parent, the Borrower or any
         Guarantor failing to duly perform or comply with any obligation
         expressed to be assumed by it hereunder unless such failure relates to
         the obligation at paragraph 5.3 below and such failure is remedied

                                       4
<PAGE>

         within two Business Days or such failure relates to the obligations at
         paragraph 5.4 or 5.5 below and such failure is remedied within 7
         Business Days.

5.       PARENT UNDERTAKINGS

         The Parent undertakes by its counter-signature of this letter to:

5.1      procure that no issuer of NTL Group Notes (or any party on such
         issuer's behalf) at any time purchases or buys-back any of the NTL
         Group Notes issued by it or by any other member of the Group;

         so requests) a 13 week rolling cash flow forecast for the UK Group (the

         that information appears in, and in respect of the same members of the
         Group as, the aforementioned pro forma Forecast;

5.4      supply or otherwise make available to the Co-Ordinators an index of any
         information relating to the Parent or the UK Group or any member of the

         any information which has been provided to the Co-Ordinators and/or the
         Steering Committee and/or the Agent and/or the Banks. If requested by
         the Co-Ordinators, the Parent shall make such aforementioned
         information available to the Co-Ordinators on the same basis as such
         information is made available to the Noteholders PROVIDED THAT the
         Co-Ordinators have first signed a confidentiality undertaking in favour
         of the Parent in a form acceptable to the Parent (acting reasonably);

5.5      provide to the Co-Ordinators copies of:

                  and which relate to the Proposed Recapitalisation; and

         5.5.2    any material comments sent by any member of the Group to the
                  Noteholders (or any of them) and/or any of their advisors on
                  any material term sheets which relate to the Proposed
                  Recapitalisation;

5.6      ensure that any material term sheets sent by any member of the Group to
         the Noteholders (or any of them) and/or any of their advisors and which
         relate to the Proposed Recapitalisation are expressly marked so as to
         indicate that any conclusive agreement (whether or not subject to
         satisfaction of conditions) by any member of the Group in

                                       5
<PAGE>

         relation to the Proposed Recapitalisation is subject to such member of
         the Group obtaining the prior written consent of the Banks;

5.7      procure that the Borrower keeps the Co-ordinators informed at each
         meeting between the Borrower and the Co-Ordinators of all material
         developments in relation to and, at the request of the Co-Ordinators,
         make available to the Co-Ordinators all requested documentation
         relating to:

         5.7.1    any possible strategic investment in the Group (or any member
                  of the Group) by any person; or

         5.7.2    any proposed disposal of, by one or more transactions or
                  series of transactions (whether related or not), the whole or
                  any part of the revenues or assets of any member of the UK
                  Group where such disposal is material in the context of the UK
                  Group taken as a whole; or

         5.7.3    any proposed disposal of, by one or more transactions or
                  series of transactions (whether related or not), the whole or
                  any part of the revenues or assets of any member of the Group
                  not being a member of the UK Group where such disposal is
                  material in the context of the Group (excluding for the
                  purposes of this paragraph 5.7.3 the UK Group) taken as a
                  whole,

         PROVIDED THAT the Borrower shall only make any such information and
         requested documentation available to the Co-Ordinators if the
         Co-Ordinators have first signed a confidentiality undertaking in favour
         of the Borrower in a form acceptable to the Borrower (acting
         reasonably) and PROVIDED FURTHER THAT the Borrower shall not be obliged
         to make such information and requested documentation available to the
         Co-Ordinators if the Borrower demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
         Co-Ordinators (by the delivery of a letter from the Group's external
         legal advisors confirming the same, or by other satisfactory means)
         that it is prohibited from making the information or, as the case may
         be, requested documentation available under the terms of a
         confidentiality undertaking it has entered into with a third party; and

5.8      procure that no member of the Covenant Group makes any Permitted
         Payment other than:

         5.8.1    a Permitted Payment falling within paragraph (b) of the
                  definition of Permitted Payment in the Credit Agreement
                  PROVIDED THAT the aggregate amount of all such Permitted
                  Payments made during the period from (and including) the date
                  hereof to (and including) the date of termination of the
                  Consent shall not exceed L5,000,000;

         5.8.2    a Permitted Payment falling within paragraph (c)(i), (iv) (but
                  only in respect of any bonds, notes or similar public debt
                  instruments issued by the Parent) or (v) of the definition of
                  Permitted Payment in the Credit Agreement PROVIDED THAT prior
                  to the proposed Permitted Payment being made the Parent
                  demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Agent (it being agreed
                  that the Agent shall be satisfied if the most recently
                  delivered Forecast confirms the same) that in the absence of
                  the Parent receiving the proposed Permitted Payment it will,
                  following the

                                       6

                  making of the relevant cash payment obligation in respect of
                  which the Permitted Payment is proposed to be made, have cash
                  resources available to it in an amount less than L25,000,000;
                  and

6.       CONFIRMATION AND REPRESENTATION FROM PARENT

6.1      The Parent confirms and represents by its countersignature to this
         letter that to the best of its knowledge and belief no Event of Default
         will occur under, and no Potential Event of Default will occur in
         respect of, Clause 19.6 (Cross Default) (other than under the Senior
         Bank Credit Agreement and (assuming their unwind values exceed
         L20,000,000 in aggregate) the ISDA Master Agreements each dated 26
         March 2001 between The Chase Manhattan Bank and the Parent and between
         The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and the Parent) as a result of the
         Proposed Steps. The Parent agrees to promptly inform the Agent if it
         becomes aware of any event which, if it were not the subject of the
         agreement of the Banks contained in this letter, would constitute an
         Event of Default or Potential Event of Default under or in respect of
         Clause 19.6 (Cross Default) (save under the Senior Bank Credit
         Agreement or the aforementioned ISDA Master Agreements).

6.2      The Parent represents that to the best of its knowledge and belief no
         Event of Default (which is not a Relevant Event of Default) or
         Potential Event of Default (which is not in respect of a Relevant Event
         of Default) will or is likely to occur as a result of the Proposed
         Steps.

         belief" means the actual knowledge and belief of the Parent's Chief

                  Steps will not constitute an Event of Default or, as the case
                  may be, Potential Event of Default.

3.       CONSENT

         Following the receipt of Instructing Group consent, the Agent, on

         (including any Relevant Event of Default) or Potential Event of Default
         (including in respect of any Relevant Event of Default) which will or
         may occur solely (directly or indirectly) as a result of the Proposed
         Steps will not constitute an Event of Default or, as the case may be,
         Potential Event of Default (the "CONSENT") PROVIDED THAT:

3.1      the Consent shall not be effective until the date upon which:

         3.1.1    the agent under the Senior Bank Credit Agreement has entered
                  into a consent letter (upon the instructions of an Instructing
                  Group (as defined in the Senior Bank Credit Agreement)) with
                  NTL Communications Corporation (acting on behalf of the
                  Obligors (as defined in the Senior Bank Credit Agreement)) on
                  substantially the same terms as this consent letter; and

                  Agreement)) with Cablecom GmbH (acting on behalf of the
                  Obligors (as defined in the Working Capital Credit Agreement))
                  on substantially the same terms as this letter;

3.2      the Proposed Steps shall not include:

         3.2.1    any exchange or similar offer to the Parent Noteholders or the
                  holders of any other NTL Group Notes (together with the Parent

                  offer has been, or is required to be, filed with an
                  appropriate governmental agency or body (such as the U.S.
                  Securities and Exchange Commission) or is exempted from any
                  such filing but which is capable of acceptance by such
                  Noteholders (or any of them) (whether or not subject to
                  satisfaction of conditions);

         3.2.2    any legally binding agreement for, or any offer to Noteholders
                  (or any of them) which is capable of acceptance (whether or
                  not subject to the satisfaction of conditions) in respect of,

                  or NTL (Triangle) LLC or any of their respective subsidiaries
                  where such security is required to be granted pursuant to the
                  terms (as at the date hereof) of the indentures constituting
                  the NTL Group Notes issued by Diamond

                                      -3-

                  the case may be, NTL Triangle LLC; or

3.2.3             the entry by any member of the NTL Inc. Group into any legally
                  binding agreement with the Noteholders (or any of them) in
                  their capacity as such in relation to the Proposed
                  Recapitalisation (in the context of a restructuring) or the
                  NTL Group Notes (or any of them) (in the context of a
                  restructuring), save for any legally binding agreements: (a)
                  entered into for the purpose of enabling the provision of
                  information by or to any member of the NTL Inc. Group in
                  connection with the Proposed Recapitalisation or to facilitate
                  or enable the progress of non legally binding discussions or
                  negotiations in connection with the Proposed Steps; (b)
                  entered into for the purpose of engaging legal and/or other
                  professional advisors in connection with the Proposed
                  Recapitalisation; (c) under which the Noteholders
                  unconditionally agree for the benefit of the issuer of the
                  relevant NTL Group Notes to waive all or any, and/or agree not
                  to exercise all or any, of their rights in respect of the NTL
                  Group Notes; or (d) under which the Noteholders
                  unconditionally agree for the benefit of the issuer of the
                  relevant NTL Group Notes to a standstill arrangement (or any
                  other arrangement having similar effect) in respect of all or
                  any of their rights in respect of the NTL Group Notes; and

3.3      the Consent shall terminate at 5.30pm (New York time) on 29 March 2002
         and as at such time or any time thereafter the Agent may by written
         notice to the Parent and the Principal Borrower take any action
         pursuant to Clause 23.19 (Acceleration and Cancellation) of the Credit
         Agreement in respect of any Event of Default the subject of the Consent
         to the extent that, at the relevant time, such Event of Default is
         continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, if at such time the Parent
         Negotiations are not continuing and no other Proposed Steps are being
         taken at, or are taken after, such time, no Event of Default the
         subject of the Consent shall be continuing.

4.       ACTION BY THE AGENT

         Notwithstanding the Consent, the Agent may take any action deemed
         appropriate pursuant to Clause 23.19 (Acceleration and Cancellation) of
         the Credit Agreement and/or under any Finance Document upon (or at
         anytime after):

4.1      the occurrence of any Event of Default under Clause 23.6 (Cross
         Default) (but only whilst such Event of Default is continuing) other
         than where such Event of Default is in respect of any creditor becoming
         entitled (on account of an event of default (howsoever described)) to
         declare any Financial Indebtedness due and payable prior to its
         specified maturity by reason of a default arising solely (directly or
         indirectly) as a result of any of the Proposed Steps and such Financial
         Indebtedness is not declared to be or does not otherwise become due and
         payable prior to its specified maturity. For the avoidance of doubt,
         the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, hereby acknowledges that no Event of
         Default will occur under Clause 23.7.1 (Insolvency and Rescheduling) in
         respect of Financial Indebtedness arising under NTL Notes issued by the
         Parent not being paid when due and payable until such time as the
         holders of such NTL Notes (or any of them) are entitled, under the
         terms and conditions of such NTL Notes, to declare any Financial

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
         Indebtedness representing principal in respect of such NTL Notes due
         and payable prior to its specified maturity date; or

4.2      any of the Parent, the Shareholder, any Borrower or any Guarantor
         failing to duly perform or comply with any obligation expressed to be
         assumed by it hereunder unless such failure relates to the obligation
         at paragraph 5.3 below and such failure is remedied within two Business
         Days or such failure relates to the obligations at paragraph 5.4 or 5.5
         below and such failure is remedied within 7 Business Days.

5.       PARENT UNDERTAKINGS

         The Parent undertakes by its counter-signature of this letter to:

5.1      procure that no issuer of NTL Group Notes (or any party on such

         Group Notes issued by it or by any other member of the NTL Inc. Group;

5.2      procure that no member of the NTL Inc. Group which is a Guarantor as at

         so requests) a 13 week rolling cash flow forecast for the Restricted
         Group (the "FORECAST") which shall be updated by the Parent and
         provided to the Agent on a fortnightly basis (the first Forecast to be
         delivered pursuant to this paragraph 5.3 shall be delivered by the
         Parent to the Agent on 5 March 2002). Each Forecast shall be in

         delivered to the Agent prior to the date hereof and shall include
         details of cash balances for members of the Restricted Group in
         substantially the same form as that information appears in, and in

         aforementioned pro forma Forecast;

5.4      supply or otherwise make available to the Co-Ordinators an index of any
         information relating to the Parent or the Restricted Group or any
         member of the Restricted Group which is provided to the Noteholders (or
         any of them) by any member of the Restricted Group where such
         information is materially different from any information which has been
         provided to the Co-Ordinators and/or the Steering Committee and/or the
         Agent and/or the Banks. If requested by the Co-Ordinators, the Parent
         shall make such aforementioned information available to the
         Co-Ordinators on the same basis as such information is made available
         to the Noteholders PROVIDED THAT the Co-Ordinators have first signed a
         confidentiality undertaking in favour of the Parent in a form
         acceptable to the Parent (acting reasonably);

5.5      provide to the Co-Ordinators copies of:

         5.5.1    any material term sheets sent by any member of the NTL Inc.
                  Group to the Noteholders (or any of them) and/or any of their
                  advisors and which relate to the Proposed Recapitalisation;
                  and

         5.5.2    any material comments sent by any member of the NTL Inc. Group
                  to the Noteholders (or any of them) and/or any of their
                  advisors on any material term sheets which relate to the
                  Proposed Recapitalisation;

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
5.6      ensure that any material term sheets sent by any member of the NTL Inc.
         Group to the Noteholders (or any of them) and/or any of their advisors
         and which relate to the Proposed Recapitalisation are expressly marked
         so as to indicate that any conclusive agreement (whether or not subject
         to satisfaction of conditions) by any member of the NTL Inc. Group in
         relation to the Proposed Recapitalisation is subject to such member of
         the NTL Inc. Group obtaining the prior written consent of the Banks;

5.7      procure that the Co-ordinators are kept informed at each meeting
         between the Parent, (and, in the case of paragraph 5.7.2 only, the
         Parent, the Shareholder and/or the Principal Borrower) and the
         Co-Ordinators of all material developments in relation to and, at the
         request of the Co-Ordinators, make available to the Co-Ordinators all
         requested documentation relating to:

         5.7.1    any possible strategic investment in the NTL Inc. Group (or
                  any member of the NTL Inc. Group) by any person; or

         5.7.2    any proposed disposal of, by one or more transactions or
                  series of transactions (whether related or not), the whole or
                  any part of the revenues or assets of any member of the
                  Restricted Group where such disposal is material in the
                  context of the Restricted Group taken as a whole; or

         5.7.3    any proposed disposal of, by one or more transactions or
                  series of transactions (whether related or not), the whole or
                  any part of the revenues or assets of any member of the NTL
                  Inc. Group not being a member of the Restricted Group where
                  such disposal is material in the context of the NTL Inc. Group
                  (excluding for the purposes of this paragraph 5.7.3 the
                  Restricted Group) taken as a whole,

         PROVIDED THAT the Parent, the Shareholder and the Principal Borrower
         shall only make any such information and requested documentation
         available to the Co-Ordinators if the Co-Ordinators have first signed a

6.       CONFIRMATION AND REPRESENTATION FROM PARENT

6.1      The Parent confirms and represents by its countersignature to this
         letter that to the best of its knowledge and belief no Event of Default
         will occur under, and no Potential Event of Default will occur in
         respect of, Clause 23.6 (Cross Default) as a result of the Proposed
         Steps. The Parent agrees to promptly inform the Agent if it becomes
         aware of any event which, if it were not the subject of the agreement
         of the Banks contained in this letter, would constitute an Event of
         Default or Potential Event of Default under or in respect of Clause
         23.6 (Cross Default).

6.2      The Parent represents that to the best of its knowledge and belief no
         Event of Default (which is not a Relevant Event of Default) or
         Potential Event of Default (which is not in respect of a Relevant Event
         of Default) will or is likely to occur as a result of the Proposed
         Steps.

6.3      For the purposes of this paragraph 6 "to the best of its knowledge and
         belief" means the actual knowledge and belief of the Parent's Chief
         Financial Officer and the Parent's Group Treasurer, each after having
         made due and careful enquiry.
