Item 10.           Certification.
                   By signing  below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge

                   acquired and  are not  held  for the  purpose of  or with the
                   effect of changing  or influencing  the control of the issuer
                   of the securities and were not acquired and are not  held  in
                   connection with or as a participant in any transaction having
                   that purpose or effect.
- --------------------------
   (1) As of May 7, 1999, The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P. was merged with and into
The  Goldman  Sachs  Group,  Inc. ("GS Group"), with  GS Group  as the surviving
entity.

   (2) This  filing  reflects  the aggregate  amount beneficially owned  by each
reporting person as of  December 31, 1999.  The  percent of class represented by
such amount gives effect to the number of shares of  Common Stock reported to be
outstanding as of September 30, 1999 in the most recent Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended  September 30, 1999,  filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission on November 12, 1999, by NTL Incorporated.

   (3) Includes  7,436,801  shares of  Common Stock  which  may be deemed  to be
beneficially  owned by GS Capital  Partners,  L.P.  ("GS  Capital"),  a Delaware
limited  partnership,  through European Cable Capital Partners,  L.P. ("European
Partners"),  a Delaware limited  partnership,  whose general  partner,  European
Cable Capital Partners Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation,  is a wholly-owned
subsidiary  of GS Capital.  GS Capital  disclaims  beneficial  ownership  of the
shares of Common  Stock  beneficially  owned by European  Partners to the extent
partnership  interests in European  Partners  are held by persons  other than GS
Capital or its subsidiaries.

   (4) In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Release No.
34-39538  (January 12,  1998),  this filing  reflects the fact that GS Group and
Goldman,  Sachs & Co.  ("Goldman  Sachs") will no longer  report the  beneficial
ownership of the securities  beneficially owned by the asset management division
of  Goldman  Sachs  (the  "Asset  Management  Division").  The Asset  Management
Division  will  separately  report,  to  the  extent  required,  its  beneficial
ownership of securities.

   (5) GS Group  and  Goldman Sachs  each disclaim  beneficial  ownership of the
securities  beneficially  owned by (i) any client accounts with respect to which
Goldman   Sachs  or  employees  of  Goldman  Sachs  have  voting  or  investment
discretion,  or both and (ii) certain investment entities, of which a subsidiary
of GS Group or Goldman Sachs is the general partner, managing general partner or
other  manager,  to the extent  interests  in such  entities are held by persons
other than GS Group, Goldman Sachs or their affiliates.
