          --------------------------------------------

          --------------------------------------------------
          otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Partners shall have the
          right to transfer their interests in the Partnership as provided in
          the Act. No sale or other disposition of the interest of a Limited
          Partner shall be made except in accordance with the Securities Act and
          the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any applicable
          state securities laws and regulations, as the same may be amended from

          transfer as proposed to be made will comply in all respects with the
          Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and
          any applicable state securities laws and regulations. A Limited
          Partner who proposes to transfer any or all of its limited partnership
          interest in the Partnership shall be required to pay to the
          Partnership a sum sufficient to cover all reasonable expenses
          (including legal and accounting fees) in connection with the General
          Partner's consideration and processing of such proposed transfer. No
          transfer or assignment of a Limited Partner's interest in the
          Partnership may be made without the prior written consent of the
          General Partner, which consent, may be given or withheld in the sole
          discretion of the General Partner.

10.3      Substitution of a Limited Partner.
          ---------------------------------

          (A)  No assignee (including, without limitation, any transferee, heir,
               legatee or purchaser) of all or any part of a Partnership
               interest of a Limited Partner shall be substituted as a Limited
               Partner without the prior written consent of he General Partner.
               The consent of the General Partner within its sole discretion and
               in no event shall such consent be given unless the assignee shall
               have:

               (1)  Accepted and assumed, in form satisfactory to the General
                    Partner, all the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

               (2)  Provided, if requested by the General Partner, an opinion of
                    counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for
                    the Partnership, that neither the offering nor the
                    assignment of the Partnership interest violates any
                    registration provision of any Federal or State securities or
                    comparable law;

                    substituted Limited Partner; and

               (4)  Paid all legal, accounting, recording and other expenses as
                    the Partnership may incur in connection with such
                    substitution.

          (B)  The term "Limited Partner" as used in this Agreement shall
               include the assignee of the whole or part of a Partnership
               interest of a Limited Partner only if such assignee shall have
               become a substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this
               Agreement.

          (C)  The General Partner is authorized without requesting the consent
               of the Limited Partners in each case, to amend this Agreement and
               the Certificate to reflect the admission of any person complying
               with the aforesaid provisions of Section 10.3(A) and each Partner
               agrees to execute such amendment or authorizes the General
               Partner to executes such amendment on its/his behalf.

10.4      Amendment of Certificate. After a person has become an additional
          ------------------------
          or substituted Partner, the General Partner shall cause an amendment
          to the Certificate to be prepared and recorded promptly, and each
          Limited Partner agrees that his attorney-in-fact (appointed in
          accordance with Section 12.2 hereof) may execute such amendment on his
          behalf and each General Partner who may hereafter withdraw from the
          Partnership appoints any remaining or successor General Partner his
          attorney-in-fact and agrees that said attorney-in-fact may execute
          such amendment on his behalf. However, the Partnership shall recognize
          the substituted Partner by no later than ten days after the date on
          which such assignee satisfies the conditions of this Article 10, even
          if the amendment to the Certificate is filed subsequently.

      11.   WITHDRAWAL OF GENERAL PARTNER, SUCCESSOR GENERAL PARTNER
            --------------------------------------------------------

11.1      Removal or Bankruptcy of a General Partner. A General Partner may be
          ------------------------------------------
          removed by the action of two-thirds of the Percentage Interest of the
          other Partners in the Partnership only for specified conduct
          constituting gross negligence, willful misconduct and material breach
          of this Agreement and such action shall effectuate

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

          the removal of such General Partner until such time as a court of
          competent jurisdiction shall determine that such specified conduct did
          not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach
          of this Agreement. A General Partner shall be automatically removed
          without action by the Partners in the event of his filing of a
          voluntary petition in bankruptcy, the filing of an involuntary
          petition in bankruptcy against him which is not withdrawn within 30
          days of such filing or a final adjudication of bankruptcy against him.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no General Partner shall be removed
          until such General Partner shall have been indemnified by the
          Partnership regarding Partnership obligations arising after the
          effective date of his or its removal. However, the foregoing sentence
          of this Section shall not reduce the General Partner's liability for
          his willful misconduct, gross negligence or material breach of this
          Agreement.

11.2      Removal or Bankruptcy of Last Remaining General Partner. The
          -------------------------------------------------------
          removal, filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, filing of an
          involuntary petition in bankruptcy which is not withdrawn within 30
          days of such filing or a final adjudication of bankruptcy of the last
          remaining General Partner will cause the dissolution of the
          Partnership unless within 60 days of such event Adelphia
          Communications Corporation, or its designated Affiliate acceptable to
          a majority of the Limited Partners, agrees to become the successor
          General Partner. If Adelphia refuses to become or to designate an
          Affiliate to become the successor General Partner or, if at the time
          of the removal or final adjudication of bankruptcy of such General
          Partner, Adelphia is no longer an Affiliate of the General Partner,
          then a majority of the Limited Partners may elect a successor General
          Partner not later than 90 days after the expiration of the
          aforementioned 60 day period. A person or entity who becomes a
          successor General Partner pursuant to this Section 11.2, shall
          immediately upon such succession receive a one percent interest in all
          allocations and distributions of the Partnership otherwise allocable
          to the former General Partner and the Partnership interest of the
          former General Partner shall be reduced by said one percent interest
          transferred to the successor General Partner.

11.3      Purchase of Former General Partner's Interest. In the event of the
          ---------------------------------------------
          removal or withdrawal of a General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1
          and the continuation of the Partnership under either the successor
          General Partner or any remaining General Partner and unless the former
          General partner and successor or remaining General Partner agree on
          the terms of a purchase of the former General Partner's interest by
          the successor or remaining General Partner, such successor or
          remaining General Partner, at his sole election, may request that a
          valuation of the former General Partner's interest at the time of
          withdrawal (which shall exclude the one percent interest transferred
          to the successor General Partner under Section 11.2) be made by two
          independent appraisers, one selected by the former General Partner (or
          his legal representative) and one selected by the successor General
          Partner. In the event such two appraisers are unable to agree on the
          valuation, they shall jointly appoint a third independent appraiser
          whose determination shall

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

          be final and binding. The former General Partner and the successor or
          remaining General Partner shall each forfeit their respective right to
          have an appraisal made by an appraiser selected by him if his
          appraiser shall fail to render such appraisal within 60 days after the
          successor General Partner is designated or, if a General Partner is
          remaining, within 60 days after the removal or final adjudication of
          bankruptcy of the former General Partner. The former General Partner
          and the successor or remaining General Partner shall each bear the
          fees of the appraiser he selects and they shall share equally the fees
          of the third appraiser, if any. The successor or remaining General
          Partner shall be entitled, at his sole election, to purchase all or
          any portion of the former General Partner's interest at 90% of the
          appraised valuation either agreed to by the first two appraisers or
          determined by the third appraiser, as the case may be. Unless the
          former General Partner and the successor or remaining General Partner
          otherwise agree, the purchase price shall be payable by the delivery
          of a nonrecourse promissory note (secured only by the Partnership
          interest so acquired) payable in five equal annual installments,
          subject to acceleration upon the liquidation of the Partnership, and
          bearing simple interest at the rate of 9% per annum. In the event that
          all of the former General Partner's interest is not sold or otherwise
          transferred to the successor or remaining General Partner, the former
          General Partner shall be treated as provided in Section 11.5 hereof.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor or last remaining General
          Partner must at all times maintain at least a 1% interest in all items
          of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit.

11.4      Continuation of the Partnership After Death, Incompetence or
          ------------------------------------------------------------
          Resignation of Last Remaining General Partner. Within 120 days
          ---------------------------------------------
          after the withdrawal by the last remaining General Partner because of
          his death, final adjudication of incompetence or resignation, the
          former General Partner (or his executor, administrator, conservator or
          other personal representative) shall designate as successor General
          Partner either Adelphia or an Affiliate of Adelphia (if at that time
          Adelphia is an Affiliate of the General Partner) or other person or
          entity who is approved by a majority of the Limited Partners. A person
          or entity who becomes a successor General Partner pursuant to this
          Section 11.4 shall immediately upon such succession receive a one
          percent interest in all allocations and distributions of the
          Partnership otherwise allocable to the former General Partner and the
          Partnership interest of the former General Partner shall be reduced by
          said one percent interest transferred to the successor General
          Partner. All or any portion of the remainder of the former General
          Partner's interest may be transferred to the successor General Partner
          on such terms as they shall agree and, if they fail to agree, then the
          interest of such former General Partner, at the sole election of the
          successor General Partner, may be appraised and sold to the successor
          General Partner in the manner described in Section 11.3. Any portion
          of such former General Partner's interest which is not transferred to
          the successor General Partner shall be treated as provided in Section
          11.5. The last remaining General Partner may resign from the
          Partnership only by designating as successor

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

          General Partner either Adelphia, an Affiliate of Adelphia or a person
          or entity who is approved by a majority of the Limited Partners prior
          to his resignation.

11.5      Status of Former General Partner. If any General Partner is
          --------------------------------
          removed pursuant to Section 11.1, or withdraws pursuant to Section
          11.4, and does not sell or otherwise transfer all his Partnership
          interest to the successor or remaining General Partner, such former
          General Partner's interest shall be converted to a special class of
          limited partner interest with respect to that portion of Partnership
          interest retained by him and, as such, shall not have any right to
          participate in the management of the business of the Partnership,
          shall not be deemed a Limited Partner for purposes of any action
          requiring the approval of Limited Partners, shall not be entitled to
          vote on any Partnership matter and shall not be entitled to any amount
          or distribution allocable or payable to or among the Limited Partners.
          Such special limited partner shall be entitled to all allocations and
          distributions which would have been allocable or payable if such
          special limited partner had remained a General Partner, with respect
          to that portion of his Partnership interest not transferred to the
          successor General Partner pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.4, as
          the case may be, or not sold pursuant to Section 11.3 or Section 11.4,
          as the case may be.

11.6      Additional General Partners. An additional General Partner may be
          ---------------------------
          designated by the General Partners at any time upon the consent of a
          majority of the Limited Partners upon and subject to execution of this
          Agreement as a party hereto and such other documents and instruments
          as may be necessary or appropriate to affect the admission of such
          person as a General Partner. Any such additional General Partner shall
          have all the rights and obligations of a General Partner, provided
          that the amount of his interest in the allocations and distributions
          of the Partnership shall be as agreed to among the General Partners
          and such additional General Partner.

                            12.  GENERAL PROVISIONS
                                 ------------------

          fictitious name or other applications, registrations, publications,
          certificates and affidavits for filing with the proper governmental
          authorities and have arranged for the proper advertisement,
          publication and filing of record thereof.

12.2      Partners' Relationships Inter Se. Nothing herein contained shall
          --------------------------------
          be construed to constitute any Partner the agent of any other Partner,
          except as expressly provided herein, or in any manner to limit the
          Partners in the carrying on of their own respective business or
          activities.

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

12.3      Notices, etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
          ------------
          notices which are required or contemplated by this Agreement shall be
          in writing. Delivery of such notices shall be deemed to be made when
          the same are either personally served upon the person entitled thereto
          or deposited in the mails, by certified or registered mail, with
          postage prepaid or delivered to the telegraph company, addressed to
          such person at his last known mailing address.

12.4      Integration and Amendments. This Agreement represents the entire
          --------------------------
          understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter
          hereof. No termination, revocation, waiver, modification or amendment
          of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and approved by
          the General Partners and a majority of the Limited Partners; provided,
                                                                       --------
          however, that approval of the Limited Partners shall not be required
          -------
          in the case of any amendment or supplement made to this Agreement by
          the General Partners pursuant to this Section 12.4 of any other
          provision of this Agreement specifically authorizing such amendment or
          supplement to be made without the approval of such Partners; and,
          provided, further, that no amendment or supplement shall be made to
          -----------------
          this Agreement if such amendment or supplement would: (a) result in
          the loss of any Limited Partner's limited liability; (b) amend this
          Section 12.4, or (c) amend Articles 3, 7 and/or 9 of this Agreement,
          in each such case, in a manner which would have a materially adverse
          effect upon the Limited Partners, without the unanimous consent of
          such Partners. A Partner shall be deemed to have consented to any
          amendment or supplement hereto if he does not respond in writing to a
          written request for such approval, accompanied by the text of the
          proposed amendment or supplement, within 30 days after the date of
          mailing of the same to him by a General Partner. Notice of any
          amendment or supplement made to this Agreement shall be sent to all of
          the Partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner is
          specifically authorized, without being required to obtain the approval
          of the Limited Partners to enter into any amendment to this Agreement
          which it shall deem necessary or desirable in order to satisfy any
          requirements, conditions, guidelines or options contained in any
          opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of the Securities and
          Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service or any other
          Federal, state or local governmental authority or agency, or to comply
          with any Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation of any
          judgment, decree, writ, injunction or order of any court,
          administrative agency , arbitrator or governmental authority or
          agency.
