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

          Upon any application or request by the Issuers (an "Issuers' Request")
to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the
Issuers and any other obligor on the Notes shall furnish to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee
stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture
(including any covenant compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent)
relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such
application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

          Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (including certificates
provided pursuant to Section 1016(a)) shall include:

          (1)  a statement that each individual signing such certificate or
     opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein
     relating thereto;

          (2)  a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination
     or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
     certificate or opinion are based;

          (3)  a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual or such
     firm, he or it has made such examination or investigation as is necessary
     to enable him or it to express an informed opinion as to whether or not
     such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

          (4)  a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such
     individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

          SECTION 103.  Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.
                        --------------------------------------

          In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

          Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuers or any other
obligor on the Notes may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon
a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion
of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the
Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuers or any other
obligor on the Notes unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of

                                       17
<PAGE>

reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to such matters are erroneous.

          Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

          SECTION 104.  Acts of Holders.
                        ---------------

          (i)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuers. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuers, if made in the
manner provided in this Section 104.

          (ii)  The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.  Where
such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

          (iii) The principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any
Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.

          (iv)  If the Issuers shall solicit from the Holders any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the
Issuers may, at their option, by or pursuant to a Committee Resolution, fix in
advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
but the Issuers shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA (S)
316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to
such Committee Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30
days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection
therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a
record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but
only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the
requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented
to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes shall be computed as of
such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by
the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months
after the record date.

          (v)   Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of
the same Note and the Holder of every

                                       18
<PAGE>

Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof (including in accordance with Section 310) in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Paying Agent
or the Issuers in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is
made upon such Note.

          SECTION 105.  Notices, Etc., to Trustee and the Issuers.
                        -----------------------------------------

          Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to
be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

          (1)  the Trustee by any Holder or by the Issuers or any other obligor
     on the Notes shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made,
     given, furnished or delivered in writing and mailed, first-class postage
     prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to or with the
     Trustee and received at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate
     Trust Administration, or

          (2)  the Issuers by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient
     for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if
     made, given, furnished or delivered, in writing, or mailed, first-class
     postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to the
     Issuers addressed to it and received at the address of its principal office
     specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture, or at any other address
     previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuers.

          SECTION 106.  Notice to Holders; Waiver.
                        -------------------------

          Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders by
the Issuers or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to each Holder, at his address as it appears in the Note
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Neither the failure to mail such
notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall
affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice
mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed
to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually
receives such notice. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner,
such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the
Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

          In case by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular
mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail
notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant
to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving
of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

          If the Issuers mail any notice or communication to any Holder, they
shall mail a copy to the Trustee at the same time.

          The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are
for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

          SECTION 108.  Successors and Assigns.
                        ----------------------

          All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuers shall
bind each of their successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

          SECTION 109.  Separability Clause.
                        -------------------

          In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          SECTION 110.  Benefits of Indenture.
                        ---------------------

          Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall
give to any Person, (other than the parties hereto, any agent and their
successors hereunder and each of the Holders) any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

          SECTION 111.  Governing Law.
                        -------------

          THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCLUDING (TO THE GREATEST
EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW) ANY RULE OF LAW THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF
THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. UPON THE ISSUANCE
OF THE EXCHANGE NOTES OR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT,
THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT
THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE PART OF THIS INDENTURE AND SHALL, TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE, BE GOVERNED BY SUCH PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES TO
SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE U.S.
FEDERAL COURTS, IN EACH CASE SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION AS TO VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS.

          SECTION 112.  Legal Holidays.
                        --------------

          In any case where any interest payment date, any date established for
payment of Defaulted Interest pursuant to Section 311 or redemption date or
Stated Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of principal (or
premium, if any) or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on
the interest payment date or date established for payment of Defaulted Interest
pursuant to Section 311, Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or maturity;
provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such
interest payment date, redemption date or date established for payment of
Defaulted Interest pursuant to Section 311, Stated Maturity or maturity, as the
case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.

          No manager, director, officer, employee, member, shareholder, partner
or incorporator of either Issuer or any Subsidiary, as such, shall have any
liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Notes, this Indenture or
for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the
issuance of the Notes.

          SECTION 114.  Counterparts.
                        ------------

                [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SENIOR NOTE]

                    9 1/2 % Senior Notes due 2013

1.   Interest
     --------

     Mediacom LLC, a New York limited liability company, and Mediacom Capital
Corporation, a New York corporation (such entities, and their successors and
assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the
"Issuers"), jointly and severally promise to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note as described below.

     Interest on the Senior Notes due 2013 (the "Notes") will accrue at a rate
of 9 1/2% per annum, payable semiannually, to Holders of record on each January
1 or July 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date on January 15 and
July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2001. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

2.   Method of Payment
     -----------------

     By at least 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any
principal of or interest on the Notes is due and payable, the Issuers shall
irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay
such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest.  The Issuers will pay interest
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes
at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the interest
payment date even if the Notes are cancelled, repurchased or redeemed after the
record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender
Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Issuers will pay
principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Issuers
may pay interest by check payable in such money. The Issuers may mail an
interest check to a Holder's registered address; provided that all payments with
respect to global Notes and certificated Notes the Holders of which have given
written wire transfer instructions to the Trustee by no later than five business
days prior to the relevant payment date shall be required to be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders
thereof.

3.   Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar
     -----------------------------------

     Initially, The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation
("Trustee"), will act as Trustee, Paying Agent and Note Registrar. The Issuers
may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Note Registrar or co-registrar without
notice to any Noteholder.

4.   Indenture
     ---------

     The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of January 24,
2001 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with
the terms thereof, the "Indenture"), among the Issuers and the Trustee. The
terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. (S)(S)
77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to
all such terms, and Noteholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of those terms.

     The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuers limited to
$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity, except for Notes
authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of,

                                       29
<PAGE>

or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 304, 305,
306, 307, 310, 906, 1012, 1013 or 1108 or pursuant to an Exchange Offer or
Private Exchange Offer, and, subject to compliance with the covenants contained
in this Indenture, including Section 1008 as a new Incurrence of Indebtedness by
the Issuers, up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes
having substantially identical terms and conditions as the Initial Notes. This
Note is one of the [Initial]/1/ Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes
include the Notes and any Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes issued in
exchange for the Initial Notes or Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture.
The Initial Notes, the Additional Notes, the Exchange Notes and the Private
Exchange Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture.
The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the Incurrence of Indebtedness by
the Issuers, and the Issuers' Restricted Subsidiaries, the payment of dividends
on, and the purchase or redemption of Equity Interests of Mediacom and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, the sale or transfer of assets, investments of Mediacom
and its Restricted Subsidiaries and transactions with Affiliates. In addition,
the Indenture limits the ability of Mediacom and its Restricted Subsidiaries to
restrict distributions and dividends from Restricted Subsidiaries.

5.   Optional Redemption
     -------------------

     Except as set forth below, the Notes are not redeemable prior to January
15, 2006. Thereafter, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, from
time to time at the option of the Issuers, on not less than 30 and not more than
60 days' notice prior to the redemption date by first class mail to each holder
of Notes to be redeemed at such holder's address appearing in the Note Register
maintained by the Note Registrar at the following redemption prices (expressed
as percentages of principal amount) if redeemed during the twelve-month period
beginning with January 15 in the year indicated below, in each case together
with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the
date of redemption:

               Period                                   Redemption Price
               ------                                   ----------------

               2006.................................          104.750%
               2007.................................          103.167%
               2008.................................          101.583
               2009 and thereafter..................          100.000%


     In addition, at any time and from time to time, on or prior to January 15,
2004, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of Notes
(calculated to give effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) with the Net
Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price in cash
equal to 109.500% of the principal to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of redemption; provided
that at least 65% of the original principal amount of the Notes (as so
calculated) remains outstanding after each such redemption.  Any such redemption
will be required to occur within 90 days following the closing of any such
Equity Offering.

6.   Selection
     ---------

     If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the
Notes to be redeemed, if the Notes are listed on a national securities exchange,
in accordance with the rules of such exchange or, if the Notes are not so
listed, on a pro rata basis or by lot or by such other method that the Trustee
deems to be fair and equitable to holders. If any Note is to be redeemed in part
only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion
of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and a new Note

_____________

/1/ Include only for the Initial Notes or Additional Notes.

                                       30
<PAGE>

or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed principal portion thereof
will be issued; provided, that no Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less
shall be redeemed in part. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease
to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the
Issuers have deposited with the Paying Agent for the Notes funds in satisfaction
of the applicable redemption price pursuant to the Indenture.

7.   Change of Control
     -----------------

     Upon the occurrence of a Change Control, each holder of Notes shall have
the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's
Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer at a purchase price equal to 101% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date).

8.   Denominations; Transfer; Exchange
     ---------------------------------

     The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of
principal amount of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer
or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Note Registrar may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or
transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by
the Indenture. The Note Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange
of (i) any Note selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be
redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) for a period
beginning 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be
redeemed and ending on the date of such selection or (ii) any Notes for a period
beginning 15 days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest
payment date.

9.   Persons Deemed Owners
     ---------------------

     The registered holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for
all purposes.

10.  Unclaimed Money
     ---------------

     If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two
years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuers at
their written request unless an abandoned property law designates another
Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to
the Issuers and not to the Trustee for payment.

11.  Defeasance
     ----------

     Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuers at
any time may terminate some or all of their obligations under the Notes and the
Indenture if the Issuers deposit with the Trustee money or U.S. Government
Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption
or maturity, as the case may be.  The Issuers in their sole discretion can
defease the Notes.

12.  Amendment, Waiver
     -----------------

     Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the
Indenture, the Notes or the Restricted Subsidiary Guarantees may be amended with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes and (ii) any default or noncompliance with
any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any
Noteholder, the Issuers and the

                                       31
<PAGE>

Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, omission,
defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 8 of the Indenture, or to
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes or to add guarantees with respect to the Notes or to secure the Notes, or
to add additional covenants or surrender rights and powers conferred on the
Issuers, or to comply with any request of the SEC in connection with qualifying
the Indenture under the Act, or to make any change that does not adversely
affect the rights of any Noteholder.

13.  Defaults and Remedies
     ---------------------

     Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) a default in the payment
of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at their Stated
Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration
or otherwise, (ii) a default in any payment of interest or Liquidated Damages,
if any, on the Notes when due, continued for 30 days, (iii) the failure by
either of the Issuers or the Guarantors to comply for 60 days after written
notice by holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding with any other covenant, representation, warranty or other agreement
contained in the Indenture or the Notes, (iv) default in the payment at maturity
(continued for the longer of any applicable grace period or 30 days) of any
Indebtedness aggregating $15,000,000 or more of the Issuers or any Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Mediacom which, if merged
into each other, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or the acceleration
of any such Indebtedness which default shall not be cured or waived, or such
acceleration shall not be rescinded or annulled, within 30 days after written
notice by the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding or (v) any final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in
excess of $15,000,000 (net of amounts covered by insurance) is rendered against
the Issuers or a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries
of Mediacom, which, if merged into each other, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, and such judgment or judgments remain undischarged for any period of
60 consecutive days, during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment shall
not be in effect.  Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of
Default which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon
the occurrence of such Events of Default.  The failure by any Restricted
Subsidiary Guarantee to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by
the terms thereof) or any Guarantor to deny or disaffirm its obligations under
the Indenture or any Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee shall also be an Event of
Default.

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of
Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be
due and payable immediately. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such
acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events
of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, all outstanding Notes shall be due
and payable immediately without further action or notice.

     Noteholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided
in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes
unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct
the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
Noteholders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default or Event of Default in payment of principal interest) if it determines
that withholding notice is in their interest.

<PAGE>

14.  Trustee Dealings with the Issuers
     ---------------------------------

     Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee
under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations
owed to it by the Issuers or their affiliates and may otherwise deal with the
Issuers or their affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.

15.  No Recourse Against Others
     --------------------------

     A manager, director, officer, employee, member, shareholder, partner or
incorporator of either Issuer or any Subsidiary, as such, shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Notes or the Indenture or
for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. By accepting a Note, each Noteholder waives and releases all such
liability.

16.  Authentication
     --------------

     This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee
(or an authenticating agent acting on its behalf) manually signs the certificate
of authentication on the other side of this Note.

19.  CUSIP Numbers

          SECTION 301.  Title and Terms.
                        ---------------

          The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture is limited to $500,000,000 aggregate principal
amount at maturity of Initial Notes, except for Notes authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of,
other Notes pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 307, 310, 906, 1012, 1013 or
1108, pursuant to an Exchange Offer or pursuant to a Private Exchange Offer,
and, subject to compliance with the covenants contained in this Indenture,
including Section 1008 as a new Incurrence of Indebtedness by the Issuers, up to
$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of additional Notes (the "Additional

Notes. Any Additional Notes shall constitute part of the same issue as the
Initial Notes offered on the date of this Indenture.

          The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall be known and
designated as the "91/2% Senior Notes due 2013," and the Exchange Notes shall be
known and designated as the "91/2% Senior Notes due 2013," in each case, of the
Issuers. The Notes will initially be issued in an aggregate principal amount of
$500,000,000 with a Stated Maturity of January 15, 2013. Interest on the Notes
will accrue at a rate per annum of 91/2% and will be payable semiannually in
cash and in arrears to the Holders of record on each January 1 or July 1
immediately preceding the interest payment date on January 15 and July 15 of
each year, commencing July 15, 2001. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the
most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from January 24, 2001. All references to the principal
amount of the Notes herein are references to the principal amount at final
maturity. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months, until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for
Interest on any overdue principal, interest (to the extent lawful) or premium,
if any, shall be payable on demand.

          The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall
be payable at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other office or
agency of the Issuers as may be maintained for such purpose; provided, however,
that, at the option of the Issuers, interest may be paid by check mailed to
addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the
Note Register.

          Holders shall have the right to require the Issuers to purchase their
Notes, in whole or in part, in the event of a Change of Control pursuant to
Section 1012.

          The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuers pursuant to an
Excess Proceeds Offer as provided in Section 1013.

          The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven and in the
Notes.

          SECTION 302.  Denominations.
                        -------------

          The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form, without
coupons, and only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

          SECTION 303.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
                        ----------------------------------------------

          The Notes shall be executed by each of the Issuers by two Officers.
The signature of any Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile signatures
of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Notes.

          Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of the Issuers (or in the case of Mediacom,
of its sole member) shall bind the Issuers, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the
date of such Notes.

          At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Issuers may deliver Initial Notes or Additional Notes
executed by the Issuers to the Trustee for authentication, together with an
order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes (the "Authentication
Order"), and the Trustee in accordance with such Authentication Order shall
authenticate and deliver such Initial Notes or Additional Notes directing the
Trustee to authenticate the Notes and certifying that all conditions precedent
to the issuance of Notes contained herein have been fully complied with, and the
Trustee in accordance with such Authentication Order shall authenticate and
deliver such Initial Notes or Additional Notes. Upon receipt of the
Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for original issue Exchange
Notes and Private Exchange Notes; provided that such Exchange Notes and Private
Exchange Notes shall be issuable only upon the valid surrender for cancellation
of Initial Notes or Additional Notes of a like aggregate principal amount. The
Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel of the Issuers that it may reasonably request in connection with such
authentication of Notes. Such order shall specify the amount of Notes to be
authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Initial Notes,
Additional Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes is to be
authenticated.

          Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

          No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly
executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such
certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

          In case either of the Issuers, pursuant to Article Eight, shall be
consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer,
lease or otherwise dispose of substantially all of its assets to any Person, and
the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such
merger, or into which such Issuer shall have been merged, or the Person which
shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as
aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee
pursuant to Article Eight, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition
may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for
other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in
phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like
tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount;
and the Trustee, upon the Issuers' Request of the successor Person, shall
authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of
such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any
new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 303 in exchange or
substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor
Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide
for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated
and delivered in such new name.

                                       41
<PAGE>

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Issuers to authenticate Notes on behalf of the Trustee. Unless limited by the
terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes
whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as any Note Registrar or Paying Agent
to deal with the Issuers and their Affiliates hereunder.

          SECTION 304.  Temporary Notes.
                        ---------------

          Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuers may execute,
and upon Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination. Temporary Notes shall be
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as conclusively
evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

          If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuers will cause definitive Notes
to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon
surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuers
designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the
Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

          SECTION 305.  Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
                        ---------------------------------------------------

          The Issuers shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or
agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as
the "Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Issuers shall provide for the registration of Notes and of
transfers of Notes. The Note Register shall be in written form or any other form
capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all
reasonable times, the Note Register shall be open to inspection by the Trustee.
The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as security registrar (the Trustee in
such capacity, together with any successor of the Trustee in such capacity, the
"Note Registrar") for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as
herein provided.

          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office
or agency of the Issuers designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Issuers shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized
denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

          Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such
Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Note may
be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such
Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the
Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

          At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of
any authorized denomination (not less than $1,000) and of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange (including an
exchange of Initial Notes or Additional Notes for Exchange Notes or Private
Exchange Notes), the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, the Notes which the

                                       42
<PAGE>

Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive; provided that (i) no exchange
of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes shall occur until an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC, the
Trustee shall have received an Officers' Certificate confirming that the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and
the Initial Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange Notes shall be cancelled by
the Trustee and (ii) no exchange of Additional Notes for Exchange Notes shall
occur until a registration statement shall have been declared effective by the
SEC, the Trustee shall have received an Officers' Certificate confirming that
the registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC and the
Additional Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange Notes shall be cancelled by
the Trustee.

          All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

          Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuers or the Note Registrar) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Issuers and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

          No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange or redemption of Notes, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1012, or 1108, not involving any
transfer.

          The Note Register shall be in written form in the English language or
in any other form including computerized records, capable of being converted
into such form within a reasonable time.

          SECTION 306.  Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.
                        --------------------------------------

          (a)  Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of
the Depositary for such global Note or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be
delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends
as set forth in Section 202.

          Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members") shall
have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on
their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the
Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuers, the Trustee and
any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global
Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers or the
Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the
Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing
the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

          (b)  Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such
Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or
their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may
be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and
the provisions of Section 307. If required to do so pursuant to any applicable
law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Notes in definitive form
("Certificated Notes") in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global
Note upon written request in accordance with the Depositary's and the Note
Registrar's procedures. In addition, Certificated Notes shall be transferred to
all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global
Note if (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuers

                                       43
<PAGE>

that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or
the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act,
at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered in order to act as
Depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the
Issuers within 90 days of such notice or, (ii) the Issuers execute and deliver
to the Trustee and Note Registrar an Officers' Certificate stating that such
Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Note Registrar has received a request from the
Depositary.

          (c)  In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial
interest in a Global Note pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section to
beneficial owners who are required to hold Certificated Notes, the Note
Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the
principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount
of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuers
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more
Certificated Notes of like tenor and amount.

          (d)  In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to
beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, such Global Note
shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the
Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each
beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial
interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of
Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

          (e)  Any Certificated Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a
Global Note pursuant to subsection (c) or subsection (d) of this Section shall,
except as otherwise provided by paragraph (c) of Section 307, bear the
applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Certificated
Note set forth in Section 202.

          (f)  The registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may
hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is
entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

proposed transfer of a Regulation S Note prior to the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period:

     any such account is a "qualified institutional buyer", within the meaning
     of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is aware that the sale to it is
     being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received
     such information regarding the Issuers as the undersigned has requested
     pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and

the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof or with
respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other
Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of
redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes.
All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be
made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to the registered
Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global
Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note in global form shall
be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and
procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected

the Depository with respect to any beneficial owners, its members and
participants.

          (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any
interest in any Note (including without limitation any transfers between or
among Depository participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note)
other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation of
evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly
required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

     Attention: Corporate Trust Administration

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $_______
principal amount of the 91/2% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "Notes") of Mediacom
LLC and Mediacom Capital Corporation (the "Issuers").

          Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new
beneficial owner as follows:


          Name:
          Address:
          Taxpayer ID Number:

          The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

          (1)    We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined in
Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act")), purchasing for our own account or for the account of an
institutional "accredited investor" at least $250,000 principal amount of the
Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale
in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes and invest in
or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our
business. We and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the
economic risk of our or its investment.

          (2)    We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in
the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor
account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer
such Notes prior to the date which is two years after the later of the date of
original issue and the last date on which the Issuers or any affiliate of the
Issuers was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the "Resale
Restriction Termination Date") only (a) to the Issuers, (b) pursuant to a
registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities
Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the
Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified
institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a "QIB") that purchases for its own account
or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is
being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur
outside the United States within the meaning of

                                       47
<PAGE>

Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such
an institutional "accredited investor", in each case in a minimum principal
amount of Notes of $250,000 or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the
foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property
or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our
or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws.
The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is
proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction
Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuers and the Trustee, which
shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)
under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment
purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each
purchaser acknowledges that the Issuers and the Trustee reserve the right prior
to any offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Termination Date of the
Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an
opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the
Issuers and the Trustee.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with our proposed sale of $__________ aggregate
principal amount of the Notes, we confirm that such sale has been effected
pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and, accordingly, we
represent that:

          (a) the offer of the Notes was not made to a person in the United
     States;

          (b) either (i) at the time the buy order was originated, the
     transferee was outside the United States or we and any person acting on our
     behalf reasonably believed that the transferee was outside the United
     States or (ii) the transaction was executed in, on or through the
     facilities of a designated off-shore securities market and neither we nor
     any person acting on our behalf knows that the transaction has been pre-
     arranged with a buyer in the United States;

          (c) no directed selling efforts have been made in the United States in
     contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(b) or Rule 904(b) of
     Regulation S, as applicable; and

          (d) the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the
     registration requirements of the Securities Act.

          In addition, if the sale is made during a distribution compliance
period and the provisions of Rule 903(c)(3) or Rule 904(c)(1) of Regulation S
are applicable thereto, we confirm that such sale has been made in accordance
with the applicable provisions of Rule 903(c)(3) or Rule 904(c)(1), as the case
may be.

          You and the Issuers are entitled to rely upon this letter and are
irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested
party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with
respect to the matters covered hereby. Terms used in this certificate have the
meanings set forth in Regulation S.

          SECTION 310.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.
                        -------------------------------------------

          If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or (ii) the
Issuers and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Issuers
and the Trustee such security or indemnity, in each case, as may be required by
them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Issuers or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Issuers shall execute and upon Authentication Order the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in
lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and
principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

          In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers in their discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

          Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuers may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

          Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuers and any other obligor upon the
Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued
hereunder.

          The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

          SECTION 311.  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
                        ----------------------------------------------

          Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose
name such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of
the Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided,
however, that each installment of interest may at the Issuers' option be paid by
(i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of
the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 312, to the address of such
Person as it appears in the Note Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account
located in the United States maintained by the payee.

          Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the
same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30
days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record
Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to
the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the
Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called
"Defaulted Interest") shall be paid by the Issuers, at their election in each
case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

          (a) The Issuers may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor
     Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
     the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be

                                       50
<PAGE>

     fixed in the following manner. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in
     writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each
     Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed
     payment (the "Special Interest Payment Date"), and at the same time the
     Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
     aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest
     or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
     prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be
     held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
     Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
     record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted
     Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days
     prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after
     the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The
     Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of such Special Record Date, and
     in the name and at the expense of the Issuers, shall cause notice of the
     proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and
     Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided
     for in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
     Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
     Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been
     so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest
     Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective
     predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special
     Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause
     (b).

          (b)  The Issuers may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any
     other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
     securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice
     as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuers
     to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner
     of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

          Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note
delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

          SECTION 312.  Persons Deemed Owners.
                        ---------------------

          Prior to the due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer,
the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for
the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and
(subject to Sections 305 and 311 ) interest on such Note and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the
Issuers, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

                                       51
<PAGE>

          SECTION 313.  Cancellation.
                        ------------

          All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee,
be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. If the
Issuers shall acquire any of the Notes other than as set forth in the preceding
sentence, the acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of
the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 313.  No
Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled
as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in
accordance with its customary procedures.

          SECTION 314.  Computation of Interest.
                        -----------------------

          Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months.

          SECTION 315.  CUSIP Numbers.
                        -------------

          The Issuers in issuing Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use) in addition to serial numbers; if so, the Trustee shall use
such "CUSIP" numbers in addition to serial numbers in notices of redemption and
repurchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIP numbers,
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or
repurchase and that reliance may be placed only on the serial or other
identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or
repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP
numbers. The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP
numbers.

          SECTION 401.  Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.
                        ---------------------------------------

          This Indenture shall upon the Issuers' Request cease to be of further
effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes expressly provided for herein or pursuant hereto) and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture when

          (i)  either

               (A) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
          (1) Notes which have been lost, stolen or destroyed and which have
          been replaced or paid as provided in Section 310 and (2) Notes for
          whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the
          Trustee or any Paying Agent or segregated and held in trust by the
          Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or discharged from such
          trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee
          for cancellation; or

                                       52
<PAGE>

               (B)  all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
          cancellation

                    (1) have become due and payable by reason of the making of a
               notice of redemption or otherwise; or

                    (2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity
               within one year; or

                    (3) are to be called for redemption within one year under
               arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice
               of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of
               the Issuers,

     and the Issuers in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, have irrevocably
     deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
     trust for such purpose an amount in cash or U.S. Government Obligations
     sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
     public accountants selected by the Issuers, to pay and discharge the entire
     indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
     cancellation, for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest to the
     date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and
     payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

          (ii) no Default or Event of Default with respect to this Indenture or
     the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit
     or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result
     in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other
     instrument or agreement to which the Issuers is a party or by which it is
     bound;

          (iii)  the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable
     hereunder by the Issuers in connection with all the Notes including all
     fees and expenses of the Trustee;

          (iv) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the
     Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Notes at
     maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and

          (v) the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
     and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
     herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this
     Indenture and the termination of the Issuers' obligation hereunder have
     been satisfied.

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Issuers to the Trustee under Section 607 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (i) of
this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last
paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive any such satisfaction and discharge.

          SECTION 402.  Application of Trust Money.
                        --------------------------

          Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust
and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

                                       53
<PAGE>

          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 401 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Issuers' obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 401; provided
that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to
receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the
Trustee or Paying Agent.

          "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation
of any administrative or governmental body):

     other, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or the acceleration of
     any such Indebtedness which default shall not be cured or waived, or such
     acceleration shall not be rescinded or annulled, within 30 days after the
     written notice by the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
     the Notes then outstanding;

          (v)   any final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in
     excess of $15,000,000 (net of amounts covered by insurance) is rendered
     against the Issuers or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of
     Restricted Subsidiaries of Mediacom, which, if merged into each other,
     would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, and such judgment or judgements
     remain undischarged for any period of 60 consecutive days, during which a
     stay of enforcement of such judgment shall not be in effect;

                                       54
<PAGE>

          (vi) either of the Issuers or a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
     Restricted Subsidiaries of Mediacom which, if merged into each other, would
     constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of
     any Bankruptcy Law:

               (A)  commences a voluntary case;

               (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
          involuntary case;

               (C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all
          or substantially all of its property;

               (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

               or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to
          insolvency; or

          (vii)  a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree
     under any Bankruptcy Law that:

                (A) is for relief against either of the Issuers or any
          Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of
          Mediacom which, if merged into each other, would constitute a
          Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case;

                (B) appoints a custodian of either of the Issuers or any
          Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of
          Mediacom which, if merged into each other, would constitute a
          Significant Subsidiary, for all or substantially all of its property;
          or

                (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of either of the
          Issuers or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
          Subsidiaries of Mediacom which, if merged into each other, would
          constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

     or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or
     decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 consecutive days; or

          (viii)    any Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee ceases to be in full
     force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) or
     any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or
     any Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee.

          The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason
for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is
effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body.

          The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year of Mediacom, in accordance with Section 1016,
an Officers' Certificate stating whether or not the signers know of any Event of
Default, a description of the Event of Default and its status and what action
the Issuers are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.

          If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the
Trustee must mail to each holder, in accordance with Section 6.02, notice of the
Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note,

                                       55
<PAGE>

the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust
Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of
the Holders of the Notes.

          SECTION 502.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
                        --------------------------------------------------

          If an Event of Default (other than by reason of an Event of Default
specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of the first paragraph of Section 501) occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuers or the Holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the
principal and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuers (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders). Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal will be
due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
Event of Default specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of the first paragraph of
Section 501 occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all the Notes
shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes
by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing
Events of Default have been cured or waived (except nonpayment of principal,
interest and premium, if any, that has become due solely because of
acceleration). The Trustee may rely upon such notice of rescission without any
independent investigation as to the satisfaction of the conditions in the
preceding sentence. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or
impair any right consequent thereto.

          SECTION 503.  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
                        -------------------------------------------------------
Trustee.
-------

          If an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of the first
paragraph of Section 501 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name
as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the
collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to
judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuers or any
other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuers or any
other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders under this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the
Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this
Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce
any other proper remedy, subject however to Section 513. No recovery of any such
judgment upon any property of the Issuers shall affect or impair any rights,
powers or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders.

          SECTION 504.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
                        --------------------------------

          In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Issuers or any other obligor, upon the Notes
or the property of the Issuers or of such other obligor or their creditors, the
Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due
and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuers for the payment
of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

                                       56
<PAGE>

          (i)  to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and
     premium, if any), interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, owing and unpaid
     in respect of the Notes, to take such other actions (including
     participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee
     of creditors appointed in such matter) and to file such other papers or
     documents and take such other actions as the Trustee (including,
     participation as a member of any creditors committee) may deem necessary or
     advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim
     for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
     the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such
     judicial proceeding, and

          (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the
Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

          Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or
the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the
Trustee may, on behalf of such Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in
bankruptcy or other similar official.

          SECTION 505.  Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.
                        ------------------------------------------------------

          All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may
be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision
for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

          SECTION 506.  Application of Money Collected.
                        ------------------------------

          Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and,
in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium,
if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of
the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

          FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section
     607;

          SECOND:  To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for
     principal of (and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any) and interest on
     the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has
     been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
     according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and
     premium and Liquidated Damages, if any), and interest, respectively; and

          THIRD:  The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled
     thereto, including the Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes, as their
     interests may appear or as a court of competent

                                       57
<PAGE>

     jurisdiction may direct, provided that all sums due and owing to the
     Holders and the Trustee have been paid in full as required by this
     Indenture.

          SECTION 507.  Limitation on Suits.
                        -------------------

          Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium,
if any, or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to
this Indenture or the Notes unless:

          (i)   such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an
     Event of Default is continuing;

          (ii)  holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
     Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

          (iii) such holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity
     satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

          (iv)  the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days
     after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity;
     and

          (v)   the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
     Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the
     Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture or any Note to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or any Note, except
in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the
Holders.

          SECTION 508.  Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal,
                        ----------------------------------------------------
Premium and Interest.
--------------------

          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture the Holder of
any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment, as provided herein (including, if applicable, Article Eleven) and in
such Note of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 311)
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Note on the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption or repurchase,
on the Redemption Date or repurchase) and to institute suit for the enforcement
of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent
of such Holder.

          SECTION 509.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
                        ----------------------------------

          If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce
any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Issuers, any other obligor on the Notes,
the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.

                                       58
<PAGE>

          SECTION 510.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
                        ------------------------------

          Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of
Section 310, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee
or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and
in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

          SECTION 511.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
                        ----------------------------

          No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee
or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

          SECTION 512.  Control by Holders.
                        ------------------

          Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee,
provided that

          (i)   such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
     this Indenture;

          (ii)  the Trustee need not take any action which might be unduly
     prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or would involve the Trustee
     in personal liability; and

          (iii) subject to the provisions of Section 315 of the Trust Indenture
     Act, the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
     which is not inconsistent with such direction.

          Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be
entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against
all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

          SECTION 513.  Waiver of Past Defaults.
                        -----------------------

          Subject to Sections 508 and 902, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained
in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) may on behalf
of the Holders of all the Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, waive any
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture
except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or
Liquidated Damages, if any, on or the principal of, any such Note held by a non-
consenting Holder, or in respect of a covenant or a provision which cannot be
amended or modified without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Note
affected thereby.

          In the event that any Event of Default specified in clause (iv) of the
first paragraph of Section 501 shall have occurred and be continuing, such Event
of Default and all consequences thereof (including without limitation any
acceleration or resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and

                                       59
<PAGE>

rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders of
the Notes, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose (i) the
Indebtedness that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, or
(ii) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or
action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default, or (iii) if
the Default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

          Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

          SECTION 514.  Undertaking for Costs.
                        ---------------------

          All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by
his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but
the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, or to
any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on any Note on or after
the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).


                                  ARTICLE SIX.
                                  THE TRUSTEE

          SECTION 601.  Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
                        -----------------------------------

          (a) Except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default,

              (i)  the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
     duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and the Trustee
     should not be liable except for the performance of such duties as
     specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others; and no implied
     covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
     Trustee; and

              (ii) in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its
     part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
     and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
     opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
     this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which
     by any provision hereof are required to be delivered to the Trustee, the
     Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or
     not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but not to verify
     the contents thereof.

              (b)  In case a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
     continuing of which a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or
     of which written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been
     given to the Trustee of the Issuers, any other obligor

                                       60
<PAGE>

     of the Notes or by any Holder, the Trustee shall exercise such of the
     rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree
     of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use
     under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

               (c)    No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to
     relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
     negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that

               (i)    this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the
     effect of paragraph (a) of this Section;

               (ii)   the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
     made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proved that the
     Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

               (iii)  the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
     taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
     direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
     outstanding Notes relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
     proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
     or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture, and

               (iv)   the Trustee shall not be required to examine any of the
     reports, information or documents filed with it pursuant to Section 1014 to
     determine whether there has been any breach of the covenants of the Issuers
     set forth in Sections 1004 through 1013.

               (d)    Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
this Section and to the TIA.


          SECTION 602.  Notice of Defaults.
                        ------------------

          Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default hereunder, the
Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA (S)
313(c), notice of such Default hereunder actually known to a Trust Officer of
the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the
executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Trust Officers of
the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in
the interest of the Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed
in this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
Default or Event of Default hereunder unless and until the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof from the Issuers at its principal Corporate
Trust Office as specified in Section 105, except in the case of an Event of
Default under clause (i) or (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 501 (provided
that the Trustee is the Paying Agent).

          SECTION 603.  Certain Rights of Trustee.
                        -------------------------

          (a)  Subject to the provisions of TIA (S)(S) 315(a) through 315(d):

               (i) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
     acting or refraining from acting upon (whether in its original or facsimile
     form) any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
     notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture,

                                       61
<PAGE>

     note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by
     it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party
     or parties and the Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated
     in the documents;

               (ii)   any request or direction of the Issuers mentioned herein
     shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Issuers' Request or Authentication
     Order and any resolution of the Executive Committee may be sufficiently
     evidenced by a Committee Resolution;

               (iii)  whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
     Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
     prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee
     (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the
     absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, request and rely
     upon an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel and shall not liable

     Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel;

               (iv)   the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and
     any advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
     complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
     suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

               (v)    the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
     of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
     direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such
     Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
     satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses, losses and
     liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request
     or direction;

               (vi)   the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation

               (ix)   the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and
     benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to

          SECTION 604.  Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of
                        ---------------------------------------------------
Notes.
-----

          The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except for the
Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of
the Issuers, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness and
it shall not be responsible for the Mediacom's use of the proceeds from the
Notes. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of
this Indenture or of the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is
duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes
and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a
Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Issuers are true and
accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by the Issuers of the proceeds of the
Notes.

          SECTION 605.  May Hold Notes.
                        --------------

          The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar, any Authenticating
Agent or any other agent of the Issuers or of the Trustee, in its individual or
any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to TIA
(S)(S) 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Issuers with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Note Registrar,
Authenticating Agent or such other agent.

          SECTION 606.  Money Held in Trust.
                        -------------------

          All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as
herein provided, be held in trust hereunder for the purposes for which they were
received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any
money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the
Issuers.

          SECTION 607.  Compensation and Reimbursement.
                        ------------------------------

          The Issuers agree:

          (i)    to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as
     shall be agreed to in writing between the Issuers and the Trustee for all
     services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited
     by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
     express trust);

          (ii)   except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
     Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
     advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision
     of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses
     and disbursements of its agents, consultants and counsel and costs and
     expenses of collection), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
     as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

                                       63

     agents) for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage,
     claim, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based on the
     income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or
     bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the
     acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and
     expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the
     Issuers, a Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the
     exercise or performance of any of the Trustee's powers or duties hereunder.

          The obligations of the Issuers under this Section to compensate the
Trustee, to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and
advances and to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee shall constitute
additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. As security for the performance of such obligations
of the Issuers, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Holders of the Notes
upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except
funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on particular Notes.

with an Event of Default specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 501, the
expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) of and
the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of

other similar law.

          The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
Indenture.

in The City of New York and shall have individually, or on a consolidated basis
with a bank holding company of which it is a direct or indirect wholly owned
subsidiary, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If the
Trustee does not have an office in The City of New York, the Trustee may appoint
an agent in The City of New York reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to conduct
any activities which the Trustee may be required under this Indenture to conduct
in The City of New York. If such corporation or its parent holding company
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising
or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 608, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation or its parent shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 608, it shall resign immediately

          SECTION 609.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
                        -------------------------------------------------

          (a)    No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of
a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of this Section.

          (b)    The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Issuers. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuers
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by
authority of the Executive Committee, a copy of which shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and a copy to the successor trustee. If an instrument of
acceptance required by this Section shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of

                                       64
<PAGE>

such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense
of the Issuers, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

          (c)  The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, delivered
to the Trustee and to the Issuers. The Trustee so removed may, at the expense of
the Issuers, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee if no successor Trustee is appointed within 30 days of such
removal.

          (d)  If at any time:

               (i)    the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
     TIA (S) 310(b) after written request therefor by the Issuers or by any
     Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months,
     or

               (ii)   the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 608
     and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuers or
     by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six
     months, or

               (iii)  the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be
     adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a custodian of the Trustee or of its
     property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
     control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
     rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Issuers, by a Committee Resolution, may remove
the Trustee, or (B) subject to TIA (S) 315(e), any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (e)    If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the
Issuers, by a Committee Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes delivered to
the Issuers and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee
and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers. If no successor
Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuers or the Holders and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, at the expense of the Issuers
on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (f)    The Issuers shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to the
Holders of Notes in the manner provided for in Section 106. Each notice shall
include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.

          SECTION 610.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
                        --------------------------------------

          Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Issuers and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of

                                       65
<PAGE>

the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuers or the successor Trustee,
such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 610, the Issuers' obligations under Section 607 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee with regard to expenses and liabilities incurred
by it and compensation earned by it prior to such replacement or otherwise under
this Indenture. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuers shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

          No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time
of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under
this Article.

          SECTION 611.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
                        --------------------------------------------------
Business.

          Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this
Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt
such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect
as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at
that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor
Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides
for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided,
however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor
Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation.

          SECTION 612.  Trustee's Application for Instructions from the Issuers.
                        -------------------------------------------------------

          Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the
Issuers may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action
proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date
on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be
effective. Subject to Section 610, the Trustee shall not be liable for any
action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal
included in such application on or after the date specified in such application
(which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any
officer of the Issuers actually receives such application, unless any such
officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to
taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the
Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application
specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

the Issuers and the Trustee that none of the Issuers or the Trustee or any agent
of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any

TIA (S) 312, regardless of the source from which such information was derived,

material pursuant to a request made under TIA (S) 312(b).

          SECTION 703.  Reports by Trustee.

report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed by the Trustee with
the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed.  The
Issuers agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed
on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this Indenture;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby (with respect to
any Notes held by a nonconsenting Holder of the Notes):

          (i)    change or extend the fixed maturity of any Notes, reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Liquidated Damages thereon,
reduce the principal amount thereof or premium, if any, thereon or change the
currency in which the Notes are payable; or

          (ii)   reduce the premium payable upon any redemption of Notes in
accordance with the optional redemption provisions of the Notes and Section 1101
or change the time before which the Notes may be redeemed; or

          (iii)  waive a default in the payment of principal or interest or
Liquidated Damages on the Notes (except that holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may (a) rescind an
acceleration of the Notes that resulted from a non-payment default and (b) waive
the payment default that resulted from such acceleration) or alter the rights of
Noteholders to waive defaults; or

          (iv)   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes, the consent of the
holders of which is required for any such modification; or

          (v)    modify the Restricted Subsidiary Guarantees or Article Thirteen
(except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) in any manner adverse to
the Holders.

          Any existing Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of
principal or interest or Liquidated Damages on the Notes, or compliance with any
provision of the Notes or this Indenture, other than any provision related to
the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages on the Notes, may be
waived with the consent of holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding.  The consent of the Holders is not
necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or supplemental indenture. It is sufficient if such consent approves
the substance of the proposed amendment or supplemental indenture.

          SECTION 903.  Execution of Supplemental Indentures.
                        ------------------------------------

          The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion under this
Indenture or otherwise. In signing or refusing to sign any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts
created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall
be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized
or permitted by this Indenture.

          SECTION 904.  Effect of Supplemental Indentures.
                        ---------------------------------

          Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article,
this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder
of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall
be bound thereby (except as provided in Section 902).

          SECTION 905.  Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.
                        -----------------------------------

          Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the Article shall
conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

          SECTION 906.  Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.
                        ---------------------------------------------

          Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by
the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuers or the Trustee shall
so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform to any such supplemental
indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuers, and the Issuers shall
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed
terms, the cost and expense of which will be borne by the Issuers in exchange
for outstanding Notes.

          SECTION 907.  Notice of Supplemental Indentures.
                        ---------------------------------

          Promptly after the execution by the Issuers and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of Section 902, the Issuers
shall give notice thereof to the Holders of each outstanding Note affected, in
the manner provided for in Section 106, setting forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture. The failure to give such notice to all
the Holders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of
the supplemental indenture.


                                 ARTICLE TEN.
                                   COVENANTS

          SECTION 1001.  Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest.
                         ---------------------------------------------------

          The Issuers, as joint and several obligors, covenant and agree for the
benefit of the Holders that they will duly and punctually pay the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes
in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture.

          SECTION 1002.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.
                         -------------------------------

          The Issuers will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, an office or agency where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where, if applicable, the Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The principal corporate
trust office of the Trustee at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286
shall be such office or agency of the Issuers, unless the Issuers shall
designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such
purposes. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers
shall fail to maintain any such required office or

                                       71
<PAGE>

agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuers hereby appoint the Trustee as their
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

          The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies (in or outside of The City of New York) where the Notes may
be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to
time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation
or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of its obligation to
maintain an office or agency in The City of New York for such purposes. The
Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

          SECTION 1003.  Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust.
                         -------------------------------------------

          If the Issuers shall at any time act as their own Paying Agent, they
will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such
Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure to so act.

          Whenever the Issuers shall have one or more Paying Agents for the
Notes, they will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest on any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day
funds (or New York Clearing House funds if such deposit is made prior to the
date on which such deposit is required to be made) that shall be available to
the Trustee by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on such due date sufficient to
pay the principal (and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any) or interest so
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent
is the Trustee) the Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or
any failure to so act.

          The Issuers will cause each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that
such Paying Agent will:

          (i)    hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of
     (and premium or Liquidated Damages, if any) or interest on Notes in trust
     for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be
     paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

          (ii)   give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuers (or any
     other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal
     (and premium or Liquidated Damages, if any) or interest; and

          (iii)  at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon
     the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums
     so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

          The Issuers may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Authentication Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums
held in trust by the Issuers or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Issuers or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such sums.

                                       72
<PAGE>

          Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or premium or
Liquidated Damages, if any) or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such principal, premium, Liquidated Damages or interest has
become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on the Issuers' Request, or
(if then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment
to the Issuers, may at the expense of the Issuers cause to be published once, in
a leading daily newspaper (if practicable, The Wall Street Journal (Eastern
Edition)) printed in the English language and of general circulation in New York
City, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the
Issuers.

          SECTION 1004.  Corporate Existence.
                         -------------------

          Subject to Article Eight, the Issuers will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate
existence and that of each Restricted Subsidiary and the corporate rights
(charter and statutory) licenses and franchises of the Issuers and each
Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required
to preserve any such existence (except the Issuers) right, license or franchise
if the Executive Committee of Mediacom shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuers and
each of Mediacom's Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss
thereof is not, and will not be, disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders.

          SECTION 1005.  Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.
                         ---------------------------------

          The Issuers will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged,
before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuers or any Subsidiary or
upon the income, profits or property of the Issuers or any Subsidiary and (ii)
all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by
law become a material liability or lien upon the property of the Issuers or any
Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required
to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment,
charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves, if
necessary (in the good faith judgment of management of the Issuers) are being
maintained in accordance with GAAP.

          SECTION 1006.  Compliance with Laws.
                         --------------------

          The Issuers shall comply, and shall cause each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders
and restrictions of the United States of America, all states and municipalities
thereof, and of any governmental regulatory authority, in respect of the conduct
of their respective businesses and the ownership of their respective properties,
except for such noncompliances as would not in the aggregate have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Issuers and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

          (a) So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, Mediacom shall
not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Restricted

Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a
consequence of such Restricted Payment; (ii) immediately after giving effect to

Restricted Payment, the aggregate of all Restricted Payments which shall have
been made on or after April 1, 1998 (the amount of any Restricted Payment, if
other than cash, to be based upon the fair market value thereof on the date of
such Restricted Payment (without giving effect to subsequent changes in value)

amount equal to the difference between (a) the Cumulative Credit and (b) 1.4
times Cumulative Interest Expense.

          (b) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 1007 shall not
prevent (i) the retirement of any of Mediacom's Equity Interests in exchange

employees) of Equity Interests of Mediacom; (ii) the payment of any dividend or
distribution on, or redemption of Equity Interests within 60 days after the date

of the receipt of non-cash consideration from any Asset Sale made pursuant to
and in compliance with the provisions described under Section 1013; (iv)
payments of compensation to officers, directors and employees of Mediacom or any

exchangeable for or convertible into any such Equity Interests; (vii) the
payment of amounts in connection with any merger, consolidation, or sale of
assets effected in accordance with Article Eight, provided that no such payment
may be made pursuant to this clause (vii) unless, after giving effect to such
transaction (and the Incurrence of any Indebtedness in connection therewith and
the use of the proceeds thereof), Mediacom would be able to Incur $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness in compliance with the first paragraph of Section 1008
such that after incurring that $1.00 of additional Indebtedness, the Debt to
Operating Cash Flow Ratio would be less than or equal to 6.0 to 1.0; (viii) the
redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any
Subordinated Obligations in exchange for, or out of net cash proceeds of the

any other indenture governing debt securities; (xi) during the period Mediacom
is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and after such
period to the extent relating to the liability for such period, the payment of
distributions in respect of members' or partners' income tax liability with
respect to Mediacom in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of tax
distributions, if any, permitted to be made by Mediacom to its members under the
Operating Agreement (such amount not to include amounts in respect of taxes
resulting from Mediacom's reorganization as or change in the status to a
corporation); (xii) the payment by any Restricted Subsidiary to Mediacom or
another Restricted Subsidiary of principal and interest due in respect of
intercompany Indebtedness and dividends and other distributions in respect of

Subsidiary pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant to holders of Equity
Interests of Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be;
provided, however, that in the case of clauses (ii), (v), (vii), (ix), (x) and
(xiii) of this paragraph, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing at the time of such Restricted Payment or as a result thereof. In
determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made on or after the
date of this Indenture, Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (ii) and
(v) and any Restricted Payment deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 1009
shall be included in such calculation.

          (c)    Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment,
Mediacom shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such
Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the
calculations required by this Section 1007 were computed, which calculations may
be based upon Mediacom's latest available financial statements. The Trustee
shall have no duty to recompute or recalculate or verify the accuracy of the
information set forth in such Officers' Certificate.

     than Mediacom or a Restricted Subsidiary), (ii) any sale or other

     aggregate amount not to exceed two times the sum of (i) the aggregate Net
     Cash Proceeds to Mediacom from (x) the issuance (other than to a Subsidiary
     of Mediacom or an employee stock ownership plan or a trust established by
     Mediacom or any Subsidiary of Mediacom (for the benefit of its employees))
     of any class of Equity Interests of Mediacom (other than Disqualified
     Equity Interests) on or after February 26, 1999 or (y) contributions to the
     equity capital of Mediacom on or after February 26, 1999 which do not
     themselves constitute Disqualified Equity Interests and (ii) the fair
     market value, as determined by an independent nationally recognized
     accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm experienced in similar
     types of transactions, of any assets (other than cash or Cash Equivalents)
     that are used or useful in a Related Business or Equity Interests of a
     Person engaged in a Related Business that is or becomes a Restricted
     Subsidiary of Mediacom, in each case received by Mediacom after February
     26, 1999 in exchange for the issuance (other than to a Subsidiary of
     Mediacom) of its Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity
     Interests); provided, that (A) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds with
     respect to which Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to this clause (j) shall
     not be deemed Net Cash Proceeds from the issue or sale of Equity Interests
     for purposes of clause (ii) of the definition of "Cumulative Credit" and
     (B) the issuance of Equity Interests with respect to which Indebtedness is
     incurred pursuant to this clause (j) shall not also be used to effect a
     Restricted Payment pursuant to clauses (i) or (viii) of Section 1007(b);
     and

          (k)  In addition to any Indebtedness described in clauses (a) through
     (j) above, Indebtedness of Mediacom or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries
     so long as the aggregate principal amount of all such Indebtedness incurred
     pursuant to this clause (k) does not exceed $10,000,000 at any one time
     outstanding.

          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 1008, in the
event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (a) through (k) above
or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section
1008, Mediacom shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness
in any manner that complies with this Section 1008 and such item of Indebtedness
shall be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or
pursuant to the first paragraph hereof.

          SECTION 1009.  Limitation on Affiliate Transactions.
                         ------------------------------------

                                       77
<PAGE>

          Mediacom shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, engage in any transaction (or series of related
transactions) involving in the aggregate $5,000,000 or more with any Affiliate
unless such transaction (or series of related transactions) shall have been
approved pursuant to a Committee Resolution rendered in good faith by the
Executive Committee or, if applicable, a committee comprising the independent
members of the Executive Committee, which approval in each case shall be
conclusive, to the effect that such transaction (or series of related
transactions) is (a) in the best interest of Mediacom or such Restricted
Subsidiary and (b) upon terms which would be obtainable by Mediacom or a
Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable arms'-length transaction with a Person
which is not an Affiliate, except that the foregoing shall not apply in the case
of any of the following transactions (the "Specified Affiliate Transactions"):
(i) the making of any Restricted Payment (including the making of any Permitted
Investment that is permitted pursuant to Section 1007); (ii) any transaction or
series of transactions between Mediacom and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries
or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries; (iii) the payment of
compensation (including, without limitation, amounts paid pursuant to employee
benefit plans) for the personal services of, and indemnity provided on behalf
of, officers, members, directors and employees of Mediacom or any Restricted
Subsidiary, and management, consulting or advisory fees and reimbursements of
expenses and indemnity in each case so long as the Executive Committee in good
faith shall have approved the terms thereof and deemed the services theretofore
or thereafter to be performed for such compensation or fees to be fair
consideration therefor; (iv) any payments for goods or services purchased in the
ordinary course of business, upon terms which would be obtainable by Mediacom or
a Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person
which is not an Affiliate; and (v) any transaction pursuant to any agreement
with any Affiliate in effect on the date of this Indenture (including, but not
limited to, the Operating Agreement and other agreements relating to the payment
of management fees, acquisition fees and expense reimbursements), including any
amendments thereto entered into after the date of this Indenture, provided, that
the terms of any such amendment are not less favorable to Mediacom than the
terms of the relevant agreement in effect prior to any such amendment, as
determined in good faith by the Executive Committee. Except in the case of a
Specified Affiliate Transaction, Mediacom shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to engage in any transaction (or
series of related transactions) involving in the aggregate $25,000,000 or more
with any Affiliate unless (i) such transaction (or series of related
transactions) shall have been approved pursuant to a Committee Resolution
rendered in good faith by the Executive Committee or, if applicable, a committee
comprising the independent members of the Executive Committee to the effect set
forth in clauses (a) and (b) above; and (ii) Mediacom shall have received an
opinion from an independent nationally recognized accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm experienced in the review of similar types of
transactions stating that the terms of such transaction (or series of related
transactions) are fair to Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
may be, from a financial point of view. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
transaction (or series of related transactions) entered into by Mediacom or any
Restricted Subsidiary with any Affiliate without complying with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 1009 shall not constitute a violation of the
provisions of this Section 1009 if Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary would
be permitted to make a Restricted Payment pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section
1007 at the time of the completion of such transaction (or series of related
transactions) in an amount equal to the fair market value of such transaction
(or series of related transactions), as determined in good faith by the
Executive Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a
Committee Resolution. In such a case, Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, shall be deemed to have made a Restricted Payment for purposes
of the calculation of Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph
(a) of Section 1007.

          SECTION 1010.  Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions
                         ------------------------------------------------------
Affecting  Subsidiaries.
-----------------------

                                       78
<PAGE>

          Mediacom shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become
effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability
of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or make any other
distributions to Mediacom or any Restricted Subsidiary on its Equity Interests;
(b) pay any Indebtedness owed to Mediacom or any Restricted Subsidiary; (c) make
loans or advances, or guarantee any such loans or advances, to Mediacom or any
Restricted Subsidiary; (d) transfer any of its properties or assets to Mediacom
or any Restricted Subsidiary; (e) grant Liens on the assets of Mediacom or any
Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the holders of the Notes; or (f) guarantee the
Notes or any renewals or refinancings thereof (any of the actions described in
clauses (a) through (f) above is referred to herein as a "Specified Action"),
except for (i) such encumbrances or restrictions arising by reason of Acquired
Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary existing at the time such Person
became a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such encumbrances or restrictions
were not created in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary
and are not applicable to Mediacom or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) such
encumbrances or restrictions arising under refinancing Indebtedness permitted by
clause (g) of the second paragraph under Section 1008; provided that the terms
and conditions of any such restrictions are no less favorable to the holders of
Notes than those under the Indebtedness being refinanced, (iii) customary
provisions restricting the assignment of any contract or interest of Mediacom or
any Restricted Subsidiary, (iv) restrictions contained in this Indenture or any
other indenture governing debt securities that are no more restrictive than
those contained in this Indenture, and (v) restrictions under the Subsidiary
Credit Facilities and under the Future Subsidiary Credit Facilities, provided
that, in the case of any Future Subsidiary Credit Facility Mediacom shall have
used commercially reasonable efforts to include in the agreements relating to
such Future Subsidiary Credit Facility provisions concerning the encumbrance or
restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to take any Specified
Action that are no more restrictive than those in effect in the Subsidiary
Credit Facilities on the date of the creation of the applicable restriction in
such Future Subsidiary Credit Facility ("Comparable Restriction Provisions"),
and provided further that if Mediacom shall conclude in its sole discretion
based on then prevailing market conditions that it is not in the best interest
of Mediacom and the Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the foregoing
proviso, the failure to include Comparable Restriction Provisions in the
agreements relating to such Future Subsidiary Credit Facility shall not
constitute a violation of the provisions of this Section 1010.

          SECTION 1011.  Limitation on Liens.
                         -------------------

          Mediacom shall not Incur any Indebtedness secured by a Lien against or
on any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by Mediacom
unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure the
Notes equally and ratably with such secured Indebtedness. This restriction does
not, however, apply to Indebtedness secured by (i) Liens, if any, in effect on
the date of this Indenture; (ii) Liens in favor of governmental bodies to secure
progress or advance payments; (iii) Liens on Equity Interests or Indebtedness
existing at the time of the acquisition thereof (including acquisition through
merger or consolidation), provided that such Liens were not Incurred in
anticipation of such acquisition; (iv) Liens securing industrial revenue or
pollution control bonds; (v) Liens securing the Notes; (vi) Liens securing
Indebtedness of Mediacom in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time
outstanding; (vii) Other Permitted Liens; and (viii) any extension, renewal or
replacement of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii),
inclusive.

          SECTION 1012.  Change of Control.
                         -----------------

          (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Notes
shall have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of
such holder's Notes pursuant to an offer described in this Section 1012 (the
"Change of Control Offer") at a purchase price equal to 101% of the

                                       79
<PAGE>

principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase (the "Change of Control
Payment").

          (b)  Within 30 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, the
Issuers shall send by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustee and to
each holder of the Notes, at the address appearing in the Note Register, a
notice stating: (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to
this Section 1012 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; (2)
the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be a business day no
earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed
(the "Change of Control Payment Date"); (3) that any Note not tendered will
continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Issuers default in the payment
of the Change of Control Payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of
Control Payment Date; (5) that holders accepting the offer to have their Notes
purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender
the Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to
the close of business on the business day preceding the Change of Control
Payment Date; (6) that holders will be entitled to withdraw their acceptance if
the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal
amount of the Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such holder is
withdrawing its election to have such Notes purchased; (7) that holders whose
Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, provided
that each Note purchased and each such new Note issued shall be in an original
principal amount in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof; (8)
any other procedures that a holder must follow to accept a Change of Control
Offer or effect withdrawal of such acceptance; and (9) the name and address of
the Paying Agent.

          (c)  On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers shall, to the
extent lawful (i) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so
tendered and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee Notes so
accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the Notes or portions
thereof tendered to the Issuers. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each
holder of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price for
such Notes, and the Issuers shall execute and issue, and the Trustee shall
promptly authenticate and mail to such holder, a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each
such new Note shall be issued in an original principal amount in denominations
of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The Issuers shall send to the Trustee
and the holders of Notes on or as soon as practicable after the Change of
Control Payment Date a notice setting forth the results of the Change of Control
Offer.

          (d)  The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the
time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein
applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all
Notes or portions thereof validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change
of Control Offer.

          (e)  The Issuers shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this
covenant.

          SECTION 1013.  Limitation on Sales of Assets.
                         -----------------------------

          (a) Mediacom shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be,

                                       80
<PAGE>

receives consideration at the time of such sale or other disposition at least
equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the
Executive Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a
Committee Resolution); (ii) not less than 75% of the consideration received by
Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of
cash or Cash Equivalents; and (iii) the Asset Sale Proceeds received by Mediacom
or such Restricted Subsidiary are applied (a) first, to the extent Mediacom
elects, or is required, to prepay, repay or purchase debt under any then
existing Indebtedness of Mediacom or any Restricted Subsidiary within 360 days
following the receipt of the Asset Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale or, to the
extent Mediacom elects, to make an investment in assets (including Equity
Interests or other securities purchased in connection with the acquisition of
Equity Interests or property of another Person) used or useful in a Related
Business, provided that such investment occurs and such Asset Sale Proceeds are
so applied within 360 days following the receipt of such Asset Sale Proceeds
(the "Reinvestment Date"), and (b) second, on a pro rata basis (1) to the
repayment of an amount of Other Pari Passu Debt not exceeding the Other Pari
Passu Debt Pro Rata Share (provided that any such repayment shall result in a
permanent reduction of any commitment in respect thereof in an amount equal to
the principal amount so repaid) and (2) if on the Reinvestment Date with respect
to any Asset Sale the Excess Proceeds exceed $10,000,000, the Issuers shall
apply an amount equal to such Excess Proceeds to an offer to repurchase the
Notes, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of
repurchase (an "Excess Proceeds Offer"); provided, that so long as any of the
81/2% Notes or 77/8% Notes are outstanding, the Issuers shall make such an
Excess Proceeds Offer, together with a similar pro rata offer to the holders of
the 81/2% Notes and/or the 77/8% Notes, as applicable, and purchase any Notes,
81/2% Notes or 77/8% Notes tendered in such offers within 359 days following the
receipt of the Asset Sales Proceeds. If an Excess Proceeds Offer is not fully
subscribed, the Issuers may retain the portion of the Excess Proceeds not
required to repurchase Notes. For purposes of determining in clause (ii) above
the percentage of cash consideration received by Mediacom or any Restricted
Subsidiary, the amount of any (x) liabilities (as shown on Mediacom's or such
Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet) of Mediacom or any Restricted
Subsidiary that are actually assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and
from which Mediacom and the Restricted Subsidiaries are fully released shall be
deemed to be cash, and (y) securities, notes or other similar obligations
received by Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are
immediately converted (or are converted within 30 days of the related Asset
Sale) by Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash shall be deemed to be
cash in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds realized upon such conversion.

          (b)  If the Issuers are required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the
Issuers shall mail, within 30 days following the Reinvestment Date, a notice to
the holders of Notes stating, among other things: (1) that such holders have the
right to require the Issuers to apply the Excess Proceeds to repurchase such
Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of
purchase; (2) the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and not
later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed; (3) the instructions,
determined by the Issuers, that each holder must follow in order to have such
Notes repurchased; and (4) the calculations used in determining the amount of
Excess Proceeds to be applied to the repurchase of such Notes. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of
Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro
rata basis or by lot or by such other method that the Trustee deems to be fair
and equitable to holders. Upon completion of the Excess Proceeds Offer, the
amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

          (c)  The Issuers shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this
covenant.

                                       81
<PAGE>

          (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mediacom or any Restricted
Subsidiary shall be permitted to consummate an Asset Swap if (i) at the time of
entering into the related Asset Swap Agreement or immediately after giving
effect to such Asset Swap no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof and (ii) such Asset Swap
shall have been approved in good faith by the Executive Committee, whose
approval shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Committee Resolution, which
states that such Asset Swap is fair to Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be, from a financial point of view.

          SECTION 1014.  Reports.
                         -------

          Whether or not the Issuers are subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act or any successor provision thereto, the Issuers shall file with
the SEC (if permitted by SEC practice and applicable law and regulations) so
long as the Notes are outstanding the annual reports, quarterly reports and
other periodic reports which the Issuers would have been required to file with
the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) or any successor provision thereto if
the Issuers were so subject on or prior to the respective dates (the "Required
Filing Dates") by which the Issuers would have been required to file such
documents if the Issuers were so subject. The Issuers shall also in any event
(a) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date (whether or not permitted or
required to be filed with the SEC) (i) transmit or cause to be transmitted by
mail to all holders of Notes, at such holder's address appearing in the register
maintained by the Note Registrar, without cost to such holders, and (ii) file
with the Trustee, copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other
documents which the Issuers are required to file with the SEC pursuant to the
preceding sentence, or if such filing is not so permitted, information and data
of a similar nature, and (b) if, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, filing
such documents by the Issuers with the SEC is not permitted by SEC practice or
applicable law or regulations, promptly upon written request supply copies of
such documents to any holder of Notes. In addition, for so long as any Notes
remain outstanding and prior to the later of the consummation of the Exchange
Offer and the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, if required,
the Issuers shall furnish to holders and to securities analysts and prospective
investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant
to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

          Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is

constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers'
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

          SECTION 1015.  Limitation on Business Activities of Mediacom Capital.

the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are retained by Mediacom or loaned to or
contributed as capital to one or more of the Restricted Subsidiaries other than
Mediacom Capital), and activities incidental thereto. Neither Mediacom nor any
Restricted Subsidiary shall engage in any transactions with Mediacom Capital in
violation of the immediately preceding sentence.

          SECTION 1016.  Statement by Officers as to Default.
                         -----------------------------------

          (a)  The Issuers will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after
the end of each fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate meeting the requirements
of Section 103 stating that a review of the activities of the Issuers and its
Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing officers with a view to determining whether it has
kept, observed, performed and fulfilled, and has caused each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to keep, observe, perform and fulfill its obligations under this
Indenture and further stating, as to each such officer signing such certificate,
that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the Issuers during such preceding
fiscal year has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled, and has caused each of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to keep, observe, perform and fulfill each and every
such covenant contained in this Indenture and no Event of Default occurred
during such year and at the date of such certificate there is no Event of
Default which has occurred and is continuing or, if such signers do know of such
Event of Default, the certificate shall describe its status with particularity
and shall state what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take in respect
thereof and that, to the best of his or her knowledge, no event has occurred and
remains by reason of which payments on the account of the principal of or
interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a
description of the event and what action each is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto. The Officers' Certificate shall also notify the Trustee should
the Issuers elect to change the manner in which it fixes it fiscal year end. For
purposes of this Section 1016(a), such compliance shall be determined without
regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

          (b)  When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this
Indenture, or if the trustee for or the holder of any other evidence of
Indebtedness of the Issuers or any Significant Subsidiary gives any notice or
takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default (other than with
respect to Indebtedness in the principal amount of less than $15,000,000), the
Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or
facsimile transmission an Officers' Certificate specifying such event, notice or
other action within five Business Days of its occurrence.

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

          (a)  Mediacom shall not (i) permit any Restricted Subsidiary to
guarantee any Indebtedness of either Issuer other than the Notes (the "Other
Indebtedness"), or (ii) pledge any intercompany Indebtedness representing
obligations of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to secure the payment of Other
Indebtedness, in each case unless such Restricted Subsidiary, the Issuers and
the Trustee execute and deliver a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 901
causing such Restricted Subsidiary to guarantee (the "Restricted Subsidiary
Guarantee") the Issuers' obligations under this Indenture and the Notes to the
same extent that such Restricted Subsidiary guaranteed the Issuers' obligations
under the Other Indebtedness (including waiver of subrogation, if any).
Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of
this Indenture.

          (b)  The guarantee of a Restricted Subsidiary shall be released upon
(i) the sale of all of the Equity Interests, or all or substantially all of the
assets, of the applicable Guarantor (in each case other than to Mediacom or a
Subsidiary), (ii) the designation by Mediacom of the applicable Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 1018, or (iii) the release of the
guarantee of such Guarantor with respect to the obligations which caused such
Guarantor to deliver the Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the
preceding paragraph, in each case in compliance with this Indenture (including,
in the event of a sale of Equity Interests or assets described in clause (i)
above, that the net cash proceeds are applied in accordance with the
requirements of Section 1013).

          (c)  The Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Issuers,
upon receipt of a request by the Issuers accompanied by an Officers' Certificate
certifying as to the compliance with paragraph (b) of this Section and, with

the reasonable request of the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that the
provisions of this

                                       83
<PAGE>

Section have been complied with, deliver an appropriate
instrument evidencing such release.  Any Guarantor not so released remains
liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and the
other obligations of the Issuers provided herein.

          SECTION 1018.  Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
                         ----------------------------------------

          (a)  Mediacom may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly
acquired or newly formed Subsidiary or a Person becoming a Subsidiary through
merger or consolidation or Investment therein) as an "Unrestricted Subsidiary"
under this Indenture (a "Designation") only if (a) no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving
effect to such Designation; (b) at the time of and after giving effect to such
Designation, Mediacom would be able to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
under the Debt to Operating Cash Flow Ratio under the first paragraph of Section
1008; and (c) Mediacom would be permitted to make a Restricted Payment at the
time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) pursuant to
paragraph (a) of Section 1007 in an amount (the "Designation Amount") equal to
Mediacom's proportionate interest in the fair market value of such Subsidiary on
such date (as determined in good faith by the Executive Committee, whose
determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Committee Resolution).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Mediacom Capital nor any of its
Subsidiaries may be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

          (b)  At the time of Designation all of the Indebtedness of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall consist of, and shall at all times thereafter
consist of, Non-Recourse Indebtedness, and neither Mediacom nor any Restricted
Subsidiary shall at any time have any direct or indirect obligation to (x) make
additional Investments (other than Permitted Investments) in any Unrestricted
Subsidiary or (y) maintain or preserve the financial condition of any
Unrestricted Subsidiary or cause any Unrestricted Subsidiary to achieve any
specified levels of operating results or (z) be party to any agreement,
contract, arrangement or understanding with any Unrestricted Subsidiary unless
the terms of any such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no
less favorable to Mediacom or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might
be obtained, in light of all the circumstances, at the time from Persons who are
not Affiliates of Mediacom. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would
violate the foregoing requirements, it shall thereafter cease to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred as of such date.

          (c)  Mediacom may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary (a "Revocation") if (a) no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to
such Revocation; (b) at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation,
Mediacom would be able to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the Debt
to Operating Cash Flow Ratio of the first paragraph of Section 1008; and (c) all
Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately
following such Revocation would, if Incurred at such time, have been permitted
to be Incurred for all purposes of this Indenture.

          (d)  All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by Committee
Resolutions delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing
provisions.

                                ARTICLE ELEVEN.
                              REDEMPTION OF NOTES

          SECTION 1101.  Optional Redemption.
                         -------------------

          The Notes may or shall, as the case may be, be redeemed, as a whole or
from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption
prices specified in the Form of Note (Section 203),

                                       84
<PAGE>

together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
thereon to the date of redemption.

          SECTION 1102.  Applicability of Article.
                         ------------------------

          Redemption of Notes at the election of the Issuers or otherwise, as
permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in
accordance with such provision and this Article.

          SECTION 1103.  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.
                         -------------------------------------

          The election of the Issuers to redeem any Notes pursuant to Section
1101 shall be evidenced by a Committee Resolution. In case of any redemption at
the election of the Issuers, the Issuers shall, at least 90 days prior to the
date of redemption (the "Redemption Date") fixed by the Issuers (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and shall
deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the
Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1104.

          SECTION 1104.  Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed.
                         --------------------------------------------

          If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will
select the Notes to be redeemed, if the Notes are listed on a national
securities exchange, in accordance with the rules of such exchange or, if the
Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis or by lot or by such other method
that the Trustee deems to be fair and equitable to holders. If any Note is to be
redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall
state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and a new Note
or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed principal portion thereof
will be issued; provided, that no Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less
shall be redeemed in part. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease
to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the
Issuers have deposited with the Paying Agent for the Notes funds in satisfaction
of the applicable redemption price pursuant to this Indenture.

          The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof  to be redeemed.

          For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the
case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

          SECTION 1105.  Notice of Redemption.
                         --------------------

          Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in
Section 106 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior to the Redemption Date
by first class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder's
address appearing in the Note Register.  The Trustee shall give notice of
redemption in the Issuers' name and at the Issuers' expense; provided, however,
that the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the
Redemption Date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided
in the following items.

          All notices of redemption shall state:

          (i)  the Redemption Date,

                                       85
<PAGE>

          (ii)   the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest to the
     Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1107, if any,

          (iii)  if less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the
     identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed,
     as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the
     aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial
     redemption,

          (iv)   in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice
     which relates to such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption
     Date, upon surrender of such Note, the holder will receive, without charge,
     a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount
     thereof remaining unredeemed,

          (v)    that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price (and accrued
     interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section
     1107) will become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion
     thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Issuers defaults in making the
     redemption payment, that interest on Notes called for redemption (or the
     portion thereof) will cease to accrue on and after said date,

          (vi)   the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for
     payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any,

          (vii)  the name and address of the Paying Agent,

          (viii) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the
     Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price,

          (ix)   the CUSIP number, and that no representation is made as to the
     accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice
     or printed on the Notes, and

          (x)    the paragraph of the Notes or Section of this Indenture
     pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed.

          SECTION 1106.  Deposit of Redemption Price.
                         ---------------------------

          Prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuers shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuers are acting as their own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount
of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all
the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.

                                       86
<PAGE>

          SECTION 1107.  Notes Payable on Redemption Date.
                         --------------------------------

          Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to
be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to
the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuers shall
default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Notes
shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in
accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Issuers at the
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption
Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such
Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of
business on the relevant Regular Record Date or Special Record Date, as the case
may be, according to their terms and the provisions of Section 311.

          If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes.

          SECTION 1108.  Notes Redeemed in Part.
                         ----------------------

          Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the
provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the
Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the
Issuers or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuers and the Trustee duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing),
and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Holder of such Note at the expense of the Issuers, a new Note or Notes, of
any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Note so surrendered, provided, that each such new Note will be
in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiple thereof.

                                ARTICLE TWELVE.

                      DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

          SECTION 1201.  The Issuers' Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant
                         ----------------------------------------------------
Defeasance.
----------

          The Issuers may, at their option, at any time, with respect to the
Notes, elect to have either Section 1202 or Section 1203 be applied to all
outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article
Twelve. The Issuers in their sole discretion can defease the Notes.

          SECTION 1202.  Defeasance and Discharge.
                         ------------------------

          Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 1201 of the option applicable
to this Section 1202, the Issuers shall be deemed to have been discharged from
any and all obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1204 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Defeasance").
For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Issuers shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding
Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the
purposes of Section 1205 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in
(i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee,
at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
the same), except for the following which shall survive until

                                       87
<PAGE>

otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of
outstanding Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section
1204 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Notes when such
payments are due, (ii) the Issuers' obligations with respect to such Notes under
Sections 304, 305, 310, 1002 and 1003, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Issuers' obligations in
connection therewith and (iv) this Article Twelve.

          If the Issuers exercise their Defeasance option, payment of the Notes
may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

          Subject to compliance with this Article Twelve, the Issuers may
exercise their option under this Section 1202 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of their option under Section 1203 with respect to the Notes.

          SECTION 1203.  Covenant Defeasance.
                         -------------------

          Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 1201 of the option applicable
to this Section 1203, the Issuers may terminate (i) its obligations under any
covenant contained in Sections 1007 through 1015 and Section 1017, (ii) the
operation of Section 501(iv), Section 501(v), Section 501(vi) (with respect only
to Significant Subsidiaries), Section 501(vii) (with respect only to Significant
Subsidiaries) and Section 501(iii) and (iii) the limitations contained in
Sections 801(iii) and 801(iv) (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the
Notes shall thereafter be deemed not to be "outstanding" for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes will not be outstanding for accounting purposes).  If
the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may
not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified under Section
501(iv), (v), (vi) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), (vii) (with
respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) and Section 501(viii) or because of
the failure of the Issuers to comply with Section 801(iii) and 801(iv).  For
this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, the Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section
501(iii), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and
such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

          SECTION 1204.  Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
                         -----------------------------------------------

          The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section
1202 or Section 1203 to the outstanding Notes:

          (i) the Issuers shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
     deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements
     of this Indenture who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this
     Article Twelve applicable to it) as trust funds in trust money or U.S.
     Government Obligations, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the
     opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
     selected by the Issuers, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
     Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest due on the outstanding Notes on
     the Stated Maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date as the case may
     be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on the outstanding
     Notes;

                                       88
<PAGE>

          (ii)   in the case of Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to
     the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably
     acceptable to the Trustee (which opinion may be subject to customary
     assumptions and exclusions) confirming that (A) the Issuers have received
     from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue
     Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in
     the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
     that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States (which
     opinion may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) shall
     confirm that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize
     income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of
     such Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same
     amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
     case if such Defeasance had not occurred;

          (iii)  Mediacom shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
     Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee
     confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the
     Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss
     for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance or
     Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in
     the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
     Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

          (iv)   no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Events of Default from
     bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period
     ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

          (v)    such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a
     breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material
     agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuers is
     a party or by which the Issuers is bound;

          (vi)   Mediacom shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
     Counsel to the effect that, (A) as of the date of such opinion and subject
     to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust
     funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights
     generally under any applicable U.S. federal or state law, and that the
     Trustee has a perfected security interest in such trust funds for the
     ratable benefit of the Holders and (B) such Defeasance or Covenant
     Defeasance, as the case may be, will not require registration of the
     Issuers, the Trustee or the trust fund under the Investment Company Act of
     1940, as amended or the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended;

          (vii)  The Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
     Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the
     intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the
     Issuers or others;

          (viii) The Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (which Opinion
     of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each
     stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the
     Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been
     complied with; and

          (ix)   The Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee the opinion of
     a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants stating the
     matters set forth in paragraph (i) above.

          SECTION 1205.  Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be
                         -----------------------------------------------------
                    Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
                    ---------------------------------------------

          Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money and U.S. Government Obligations  (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for
purposes of this Section 1205, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1204 in
respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers
acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders
of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
(and premium, if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

          The Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee
or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 1204 or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof.

          Anything in this Article Twelve to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the Issuers'
Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in
Section 1204 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant
defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.

          SECTION 1206.  Reinstatement.
                         -------------

          If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 1205 by reason of any
legal proceeding or by any reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Issuers' obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 1202 or 1203, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
1205; provided, however, that if the Issuers makes any payment of principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Notes to receive such payment from the money and U.S. Government
Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

          SECTION 1301.  Unconditional Guarantee.
                         -----------------------

          Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally,
guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that:  the principal of and
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in

<PAGE>

any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the
recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or
any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants
that the Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture,
and this Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, any Guarantor, or
any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation
to the Issuers or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuers to any Guarantor
to the Trustee or such Holder, this Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee, to the
extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand,
and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five for
the purpose of this Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration in
respect of such obligations as provided in Article Five, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each
Guarantor for the purpose of this Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee.

          SECTION 1302.  Severability.
                         ------------

          In case any provision of this Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          SECTION 1303.  Limitation of Guarantor's Liability.
                         -----------------------------------

          Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder and the
Trustee, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee not
constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of title 11 of the
United States Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. Federal or state or other
applicable law or that the obligations of such Guarantor under Section 1301
would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable on
account of the amount of its liability under said Section 1301.  To effectuate
the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree
that the obligations of such Guarantor under the Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee
shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to
any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Restricted
Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to Section 1304, result in the obligations of
such Guarantor under the Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting such
fraudulent transfer or conveyance and not being held or determined to be void,
invalid or unenforceable.

          SECTION 1304.  Contribution.
                         ------------

          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the
Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or
distribution is made by any Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under the
Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a
contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount, based on the net
assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor), determined in
accordance with GAAP, subject to Section 1303, for all payments, damages and
expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the

Issuers' obligations with respect to the Notes or any other Guarantor's
obligations with respect to the Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee.

          SECTION 1305.  Additional Guarantors.
                         ---------------------

          Any Restricted Subsidiary which is required pursuant to Section 1017
to become a Guarantor shall (a) execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee which subjects such Restricted Subsidiary to the provisions of this
Indenture as a Guarantor and pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary agrees
to guarantee to each Holder of a Note the payment of allowances due in respect
of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, and (b) cause
to be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
supplemental indenture has been duly authorized and executed by such Restricted
Subsidiary and constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation
of such Restricted Subsidiary (subject to such customary exceptions concerning
fraudulent conveyance laws, creditors' rights and equitable principles).

          SECTION 1306.  Subordination of Subrogation and Other Rights.
                         ---------------------------------------------

          Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any claim against the Issuers that
arises from the payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor's
obligations under its Restricted Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture,
including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, shall be subject and
subordinate to, and no payment with respect to any such claim of such Guarantor
shall be made before, the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Notes in
accordance with the provisions provided therefor in this Indenture.
