EXERCISABLE ON OR BEFORE 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON                            ,
 2004, UNLESS EXTENDED BY THE COMPANY (THE "EXPIRATION
TIME").

        UnitedGlobalCom,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is conducting a rights offering (the "Rights Offering"), which entitles the holders of Class A common stock, par
value $.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock"), of the Company to receive one transferable subscription right for each share of Class A Common Stock, holders of Class B common
stock, par value $.01 per share ("Class B Common Stock"), of the Company to receive one transferable subscription right for each share of Class B Common Stock, and holders of
Class C common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Class C Common Stock"), of the Company to receive one transferable subscription right for each share of Class C Common Stock, in
each case held by them at the close of business on                        , 2004 (the "Record Date"). 

        As
the registered owner of this Rights Certificate, you are entitled to the number of transferable subscription rights ("Class A Rights") shown above. Each whole Class A
Right entitles the holder thereof to subscribe for and purchase    shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Basic Subscription Privilege") at a subscription price of $    per
share (the "Subscription Price"), pursuant to the Rights Offering. If any
shares of Class A Common Stock available for purchase in the Rights Offering are not purchased by the holders of Class A Rights pursuant to the exercise of their Basic Subscription
Privilege (the "Excess Shares"), any such holder fully exercising its Basic Subscription Privilege may subscribe for a number of Excess Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Rights
Offering, subject to proration (the "Oversubscription Privilege"), as described in the prospectus (the "Prospectus"),
dated                        , 2004. 

        Certificates
representing shares of Class A Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Rights Offering will be issued by the Subscription Agent as soon as practicable following the
Expiration Time. No fractional shares or cash in lieu thereof will be issued or paid. Instead, the number of shares each rights holder is entitled to acquire will be rounded upward to the nearest
whole share. Set forth above are the number of Class A Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate that you are entitled to exercise and the maximum number of shares of the Class A
Common Stock you are entitled to subscribe for and purchase pursuant to your Basic Subscription Privilege. 

        FOR
A MORE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING, PLEASE REFER TO THE PROSPECTUS, WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. COPIES OF THE PROSPECTUS
ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST FROM THE INFORMATION AGENT, MELLON INVESTOR SERVICES LLC, AT (888) 684-7182. 

        THIS
RIGHTS CERTIFICATE IS TRANSFERABLE, AND MAY BE COMBINED OR DIVIDED (BUT ONLY INTO RIGHTS CERTIFICATES EVIDENCING FULL RIGHTS) AT THE OFFICE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT. CLASS A
RIGHTS HOLDERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IF THEY CHOOSE TO EXERCISE, ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR SELL ONLY PART OF THEIR CLASS A RIGHTS, THEY MAY NOT RECEIVE A NEW RIGHTS CERTIFICATE IN SUFFICIENT TIME TO
EXERCISE, ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR SELL THE REMAINING CLASS A RIGHTS EVIDENCED THEREBY. 

        SUBSCRIPTION
FOR SHARES: To subscribe for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to your Basic Subscription Privilege, please complete lines "A" and "C" and Section 1. To
subscribe for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to your Oversubscription Privilege, in addition to lines "A," and "C" and Section 1, please complete line "B". 

(Complete
appropriate lines and sections on reverse side of this Rights Certificate.) 

        If
you want the Subscription Agent to attempt to sell your unexercised Class A Rights, check box "D" below and complete Section 1. If you want a new Rights Certificate
evidencing any unexercised Rights delivered to you or to someone else, check box "E" below, and indicate the address to which the shares of Class A Common Stock should be delivered in
Section 1. If you want some or all of your unexercised Class A Rights transferred to a designated transferee, or to a bank or broker to sell for you, check box "F" below and complete
Section 2. 

        PAYMENT
OF SHARES: Full payment for shares of Class A Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to both the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Oversubscription Privilege payable to
Mellon Investor Services LLC (on behalf of Mellon Bank, N.A.) or a notice of guaranteed delivery must accompany this Rights Certificate. Please reference your Rights Certificate Number on your
certified check, bank draft, money order or notice of guaranteed delivery. 

        If
the aggregate Subscription Price paid by you is insufficient to purchase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that you subscribed for, or if you do not specify the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be purchased, then you will be deemed to have exercised first your Basic Subscription Privilege and second your Oversubscription Privilege to the
fullest extent of the payment rendered. If the aggregate Subscription Price paid by you exceeds the amount necessary to purchase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which you
subscribed for, then you will be deemed to have exercised first your Basic Subscription Privilege and second your Oversubscription Privilege to the fullest extent of the excess payment tendered.
