For the avoidance of doubt, any references to Exhibit D in Section
11.01(a) of the Indenture shall be deemed references to that exhibit as amended
by this Second Supplemental Indenture.

remaining provisions hereof or of the Indenture shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

(F)           The
parties may sign any number of copies of this Second Supplemental
Indenture.  Each signed copy shall be an
original, but all of them together represent the same agreement, binding on the
parties hereto.

been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a
part of this Second Supplemental Indenture, and shall in no way modify or

For value received, each of the undersigned (the “Senior Guarantors”), to the extent set forth in and subject
to the terms of the Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2004, among NTL Cable PLC, a
public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Issuer”), NTL Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (formerly
known as Telewest Global, Inc.), NTL Holdings Inc., a Delaware

Delaware corporation, NTL Communications Limited, a limited company organized
under the laws of England and Wales, NTL Investment Holdings Limited, a limited
company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“NTLIH” or

and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as
amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Indenture”), hereby
jointly and severally with one another and with the Senior Subordinated
Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder
and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (1) the full and
punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture (including
obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of
or interest on or premium or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes and all
other monetary obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes and
(2) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of
all other obligations of the Issuer whether for fees, expenses, indemnification
or otherwise under the Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being
hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Each Senior Guarantor further agrees that the
Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without
notice or further assent from such Note Guarantor, and that such Note Guarantor

be bound by such provisions.

Each Senior Guarantee will be limited to an amount

affecting the rights of creditors generally.
