On November 3, 2008, an application for a state-issued certificate of franchise
authority complying with the provisions set forth in Public Chapter No. 932,1
also known as the Competitive Cable and Video Services Act (the “CCVSA”), was
submitted to the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (“TRA”) by Knology, Inc. (the

Certificate of Franchise Authority hereby conveys:

1. A nonexclusive grant of authority to provide cable or video service in the

2. A nonexclusive grant of authority to construct, maintain and operate

subject to the laws of the state of Tennessee, including the lawful exercise of
police powers of the municipalities and counties in which such service is
delivered;

3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 & 2 above, this grant of
authority is subject to lawful operation of the cable and video service by the
Applicant or its successor in interest; and,

4. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 & 2 above, this grant of
authority does not confer upon the holder of the state-issued certificate of
franchise authority the right to place facilities on private property without
the owner’s consent to such placement, except that nothing herein shall alter
the condemnation authority provided pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 65-21-204 for
