                               FIRST SUPPLEMENT
                         TO THE MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT

     THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENT (this "First Supplement") to the Master Loan
Agreement dated as of June 29, 2001 (as the same may be amended, modified,
supplemented, extended or restated from time to time, the "MLA"), dated as of
June 29, 2001, is made by and between CoBANK, ACB ("CoBank") and GLOBE

INC. (collectively, the "Borrowers").

     SECTION 1. The Loan Commitment. On the terms and conditions set forth in
the MLA and this First Supplement, CoBank agrees to make a loan to the Borrowers
(the "Loan"), by means of one or more advances in an amount not to exceed
$40,000,000 (the "Commitment"). All of the Borrowers shall be jointly and
severally liable for the Loan, however incurred. References to the Borrowers
with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof shall mean each Borrower on a
joint and several basis. Under the Commitment, amounts borrowed and later repaid
may not be reborrowed. The Commitment shall expire at 12:00 noon Eastern time on
June 29, 2002, or on such later date as CoBank may, in its sole discretion,
authorize in writing (the "Termination Date").

     SECTION 2. Purpose. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used by the Borrowers
(i) subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8(H) of the MLA hereof, to
make dividends to Knology to be used to make equity contributions to Knology of
Knoxville, Inc., (ii) to finance capital expenditures, working capital and
general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and (iii) to pay the expenses and
fees incurred by the Borrowers in connection with the closing of the Loan. The
Borrowers agree that the proceeds of the Loan shall be used only for the
purposes set forth in this Section 2.

     SECTION 3. Availability. Subject to Section 2 of the MLA, Section 9 hereof
and the conditions set forth in the MLA, advances will be made prior to the
Termination Date as provided in Section 1 of the MLA on a date selected by the
Borrower (the "Funding Date").

     SECTION 4. Fees.

          (A)  Origination and Structuring Fee. In consideration of the
Commitment, the Borrowers agree to pay to CoBank a loan structuring fee in the
amount of $100,000 and a loan origination fee in the amount of $200,000. $25,000
of the loan structuring fee has been previously paid to CoBank and the remaining
$75,000 shall be due and payable upon execution and delivery of this First
Supplement. The entire amount of the loan origination fee shall be due and
payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) 60 days hereafter and (ii) the

          (B)  Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to CoBank a commitment
fee on the average daily unused portion of the Commitment at a rate of 0.375%
per annum (calculated on a 360-day basis), payable quarterly in arrears on the
20/th/ day of each January, April, July and October, commencing October 20,
2001; provided, however, that the last such payment shall be due and payable on
the Termination Date.

     SECTION 5. Interest.

          (A)  Rate Options; Etc. The unpaid principal balance of each advance
under the Loan shall accrue interest at the rate or rates determined or selected
by the Borrowers in accordance with this Section 5(A).

               (1)  Variable Rate Option. As to the portion of the unpaid
     principal balance of the Loan selected by the Borrowers (such portion, and
     each portion selected pursuant to Section 5(A)(2) and Section 5(A)(3)
     below, is hereinafter referred to as a "Portion" of the Loan), interest
     shall accrue pursuant to this variable rate option at a variable annual
     interest rate (the "Variable Rate") equal at all times to the rate
     established by CoBank on the first Business Day of each week. The rate of
     interest so established by CoBank may not exceed CoBank's National Variable
     Rate (as hereinafter defined) in effect on the date so established and
     shall be effective from and including the first Business Day of each week
     to and excluding the first Business Day of the next week. Any change in the
     National Variable Rate shall be effective on the date established by
     CoBank, and CoBank shall notify the Borrowers promptly after any such
     change. The term "National Variable Rate" shall mean the rate of interest
     established by CoBank from time to time as its National Variable Rate. The
     National Variable Rate is intended by CoBank to be a reference rate, and
     CoBank may charge other borrowers rates at, above, or below that rate.

               (2)  LIBOR Option. As to any Portion or Portions of the Loan
     selected by the Borrowers, in minimum amounts of $100,000, interest shall
     accrue pursuant to this LIBOR Option at a fixed rate per annum equal to
     LIBOR (as hereinafter defined) plus the LIBOR Margin applicable on the
                                    ----
     first day of the applicable Interest Period (as hereinafter defined) or
     applicable from time to time as otherwise provided herein. Under this
     option: (i) rates may be fixed for Interest Periods (as hereinafter
     defined) of 1, 2, 3, or 6 months, as selected by the Borrowers; and (ii)
     rates may only be fixed on a Banking Day (as hereinafter defined) or, at
     the option of the Borrowers, on two (2) Banking Days' prior notice. "LIBOR"
     shall mean the rate indicated by Telerate at Page 3750 (rounded upward to
     the nearest thousandth) as having been quoted by the British Bankers
     Association at 11:00 a.m. London time on the date the Borrowers elect to
     fix a rate under this option for the offering of U.S. dollar deposits in
     the London interbank market for the Interest Period designated by the
     Borrowers. "Banking Day" shall mean a day on which CoBank is open for
     business, dealings in U.S. dollar deposits are being carried out in the
     London interbank market, and banks are open for business in New York City
     and London, England. "Interest Period" shall mean the time period chosen by
     the Borrowers during which the chosen fixed rate is to apply to a Portion
     of the

                                       2
<PAGE>

     Loan, which period commences on the day the Borrowers elect to fix a rate
     under this Section 5(A)(2) or under Section 5(A)(3) (or, at the option of
     the Borrowers, two (2) Banking Days later). The Interest Period for
     Portions accruing interest at the LIBOR Option rate shall be 1, 2, 3 or 6
     months, as selected by the Borrowers, and the Interest Period shall end on
     the day in the next calendar month or in the month that is 2, 3, or 6
     months thereafter which corresponds numerically with the day the Interest
     Period commences; provided, however, that: (a) in the event such ending day
     is not a Banking Day, such period shall be extended to the next Banking Day
     unless such next Banking Day falls in the next calendar month, in which
     case it shall end on the preceding Banking Day; and (b) if there is no
     numerically corresponding day in the month, then such period shall end on
     the last Banking Day in the relevant month. In the event Telerate ceases to
     provide such quotations or materially changes the form or substance of such
     quotations (as determined by CoBank), then CoBank will notify the Borrower
     and the parties hereto will agree upon a substitute basis for obtaining
     such quotations.

"LIBOR Margin" shall mean, for each Calculation Period, the applicable per annum
percentage set forth in the pricing table below opposite the Total Leverage
Ratio of the Borrowers, measured on a consolidated basis:

                    Total Leverage Ratio:       LIBOR Margin:
                    --------------------        ------------

                        4.00:1 * 5.00:1             3.00%

                        3.00:1 * 4.00:1             2.50%

                        2.00:1 * 3.00:1             2.00%

                        * 2.00:1                    1.50%

"Calculation Period" shall mean each period commencing on each Adjustment Date
and ending on the day preceding each subsequent Adjustment Date. "Adjustment
Date" shall mean each date which is the fifth Business Day after receipt by
CoBank of (i) each Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to
Section 7(H)(8) of the MLA and (ii) if a decrease in the LIBOR Margin is
warranted, a written notice from the Borrowers to decrease such margin.

                    (3)  Quoted Rate Option. As to any Portion or Portions of
     the Loan selected by the Borrowers, interest shall accrue pursuant to this
     quoted rate option at a fixed annual interest rate (the "Quoted Rate") to
     be quoted by CoBank in its sole and absolute discretion. Under this option,
     the interest rate on any Portion of the Loan, in minimum amounts of
     $100,000, may be fixed for such Interest Periods as may be agreeable to
     CoBank in its sole discretion in each instance; provided, however, that
                                                     --------  -------
     such Interest Period shall not extend beyond the Maturity Date (as
     hereinafter defined) and such Interest Period may only expire on a Business
     Day.

                    (4)  Selection And Changes of Rates. The Borrowers shall
     select the rate option applicable to the Loan on the date the Loan is
     advanced. Thereafter, with respect to the Portion of the Loan accruing
     interest at the Variable Rate, the Borrowers

*  less than

                                       3
<PAGE>

     may, on any Business Day subject to Section 5(A)(3) above, elect to have a
     Quoted Rate apply to all or a part of such Portion in the minimum amounts
     provided above, and on any Banking Day, subject to Section 5(A)(2), elect
     to have a LIBOR Option rate apply to all or a part of such Portion in the
     minimum amounts provided above. In addition, with respect to all or a part
     of any Portion of the Loan accruing interest pursuant to the Quoted Rate or
     LIBOR Option rate, the Borrowers may, subject to Sections 5(A)(2) and
     5(A)(3) above, on the last day of the Interest Period for such Portion,
     elect to fix the interest rate accruing on all or a part of such Portion
     for an Interest Period pursuant the Quoted Rate or the LIBOR Option rate.
     In the absence of any such election, interest shall automatically accrue on
     such Portion of the Loan at the Variable Rate. From time to time the
     Borrowers may elect, on any Business Day prior to the expiration of the
     Interest Period for any Portion of the Loan accruing interest pursuant to
     the Quoted Rate or the LIBOR Option rate, and upon payment of a Surcharge
     or a LIBOR Surcharge, as applicable (each as defined in, and calculated
     pursuant to, Section 6 hereof) to convert all, but not part, of such
     Portion of the Loan so that it accrues interest at the Variable Rate or any
     combination of the Variable Rate and the fixed rate options described in
     Sections 5(A)(2) and 5(A)(3) hereof in accordance with the terms thereof.
     Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the Borrowers
     may have outstanding at any time not more than an aggregate of five (5)
     separate Portions. Except for the initial selection, all interest rate
     selections provided for herein shall be made by telephonic or written
     request of an authorized employee of the Borrowers by 12:00 noon, Eastern
     time, on the relevant day. In taking actions upon telephonic requests,
     CoBank shall be entitled to rely on (and shall incur no liability to the
     Borrowers in acting upon) any request made by a person identifying himself
     or herself as one of the persons authorized by the Borrowers to select
     interest rates hereunder.

               Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
     Default, as the Interest Periods for Portions of the Loan accruing interest
     at a Quoted Rate or a LIBOR Option rate expire, at CoBank's option, such
     Portions of the Loan shall be converted to the Variable Rate option and the
     Quoted Rate and the LIBOR Option rate will not be available to the
     Borrowers until all Events of Default are no longer continuing.

               (5)  Accrual of Interest. Interest shall accrue pursuant to the
     Quoted Rate option or the LIBOR Option rate selected by the Borrowers from
     and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to but
     excluding the last day of such Interest Period. If the Borrowers elect to
     refix the interest rate on any Portion of the Loan accruing interest at the
     Quoted Rate or the LIBOR Option rate pursuant to Section 5(A)(4) above, the
     first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding
     Interest Period. In the absence of any such election, interest shall accrue
     on such Portion at the Variable Rate from and including the last day of
     such Interest Period. If the Borrowers elect to convert from either of the
     fixed rate options described in Sections 5(A)(2) or 5(A)(3) hereof to the
     Variable Rate or another fixed rate option pursuant to Section 5(A)(4) upon
     payment of the Surcharge or LIBOR Surcharge as provided in Section 5(A)(4)
     above, interest at the applicable fixed rate shall accrue

                                       4
<PAGE>

     through the day before such conversion and either (i) the first day of any
     new Interest Period shall be the date of such conversion, or (ii) interest
     at the Variable Rate shall accrue on the Portion of the Loan so converted
     from and including the date of conversion.

          (B)   Payment and Calculation. Interest shall be payable quarterly in
arrears by the twentieth (20th) day of the month following the end of each
calendar quarter. Interest shall be calculated on the actual number of days the
Loan is outstanding on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. In
calculating accrued interest, the date the advance under the Loan is made shall
be included and the date any principal amount of the Loan is repaid or prepaid
shall be excluded as to such amount.

     SECTION 6. Prepayment and Surcharge. The Borrowers may, on one Business
Day's prior written notice, prepay in full or in part any Portion of the Loan
accruing interest at a Variable Rate and, may, on two Business Days' prior
written notice, prepay in full or in part any Portion of the Loan accruing
interest at either of the fixed rate options described in Sections 5(A)(2) or
5(A)(3). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers' right to prepay any
amount accruing interest at a Quoted Rate (whether such payment is made
voluntarily, as a result of an acceleration, or otherwise) shall be conditioned
upon the payment of a prepayment Surcharge as defined and calculated below and
the Borrowers right to prepay any amount accruing interest at a LIBOR Option
rate (whether such payment is made voluntarily, as a result of an acceleration
or otherwise) shall be conditioned upon the payment of a LIBOR Surcharge as
defined and calculated below. Unless otherwise agreed, all prepayments will be
applied to principal installments on a pro rata basis and to such Portions of
the Loan as CoBank shall specify. For purposes of calculating the Surcharge and
LIBOR Surcharge provided for in this Section 6, early conversion of a Portion of
the Loan accruing interest pursuant to a Quoted Rate or a LIBOR Option rate so
that it accrues interest at a different rate pursuant to Section 5(A)(4) shall
be deemed a prepayment in full of that portion of the Loan. Upon any such early
conversion or any prepayment of any Portion of the Loan accruing interest
pursuant to a Quoted Rate, and as a condition to any voluntary prepayment, the
Borrowers shall pay to CoBank, on the date of such prepayment or early
conversion, a surcharge ("Surcharge") in an amount equal to the sum of: (a) the
present value of any funding losses incurred or imputed by CoBank to have been
incurred as a result of such prepayment for the period such amount was scheduled
to have been outstanding at such Quoted Rate; plus (b) 1/2 of 1 percent (0.50%)
on the amount prepaid or converted. Upon any such early conversion or any
prepayment of any Portion of the Loan accruing interest pursuant to the LIBOR
Option rate, and as a condition to any voluntary prepayment, the Borrowers shall
pay to CoBank, on the date of such prepayment or early conversion, a surcharge
("LIBOR Surcharge") in an amount equal to the present value of any funding
losses incurred or imputed by CoBank to have been incurred as a result of such
prepayment for the period such amount was scheduled to have been outstanding at
such LIBOR Option rate. Such Surcharge and such LIBOR Surcharge shall be
determined and calculated in accordance with methodology established by CoBank
which shall be customary for the industry and consistent with CoBank's past
practice for calculating such surcharge.

     SECTION 7. Repayment of the Loan.

consecutive payments equal to the amount of principal scheduled to be repaid on
such date as set forth on Schedule 7(A) hereto, with the last such quarterly
                          -------------
principal payment installment due and payable on April 20, 2011 (the "Maturity
Date"). If any repayment date is not a Business Day, then the principal
repayment then due shall be paid on the next Business Day and shall continue to
accrue interest until paid. If not sooner required to be repaid, all advances
under the Loan and all other amounts due and owning hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents relating to the Loan shall be due and payable on the
Maturity Date.

          (B)  Mandatory Repayments from Net Proceeds of Asset Dispositions.
Within 180 days following receipt of the Net Proceeds (as hereafter defined),
from any Asset Disposition (as hereinafter defined), the Borrowers shall repay
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to such Net
Proceeds to the extent that such proceeds are not reinvested within such period
in similar equipment or assets that are used or useful in the business of the
Borrower. "Asset Disposition" means the disposition, whether by sale, lease,
transfer, loss, damage, destruction, condemnation, or otherwise of any or all of
the assets of the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries other than (i) sales of
inventory in the ordinary course of business, (ii) dispositions of obsolete
equipment not used or useful in the business of the Borrowers or any of their
subsidiaries and (iii) sales of Investments permitted under Subsection 8(E) of
the MLA for fair value. "Net Proceeds" means cash proceeds received by the
Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries from any Asset Disposition (including
insurance proceeds, awards of condemnation, and payments under notes or other
debt securities received in connection with any Asset Disposition), net of (i)
the costs of such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition (including taxes
attributable to such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition) and (ii)
amounts applied to repayment of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness
outstanding hereunder) secured by a lien on the asset or property disposed and
permitted under Section 8(A)(ii) of the MLA.

          (C)  Application of Repayments; Related Interest and Surcharge
Payments. All repayments made pursuant to this Section 7 shall be applied to
such Portions of the Loan as the Borrowers shall direct in writing and, in the
absence of such direction, shall first be applied to the Portion of the Loan
accruing interest pursuant to the Variable Rate option and then to such Portions
of the Loan accruing interest at either of the fixed rate options as the
Borrowers and CoBank shall agree. At the time of each mandatory repayment
pursuant to this Section 7, the Borrowers shall pay all accrued and unpaid
interest on the amount repaid, and any Surcharge or LIBOR Surcharge due pursuant
to Section 7 in connection with such repayment.

     SECTION 8. Security. The Loan is secured by (i) that certain Stock Pledge
