such amount on demand from the Lender on whose behalf such advance was made, and
if such Lender does not pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such advance
on demand, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent on
demand. Until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent by such
Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender or Term Loan B Lender or the
Borrower, as the case may be, such advance shall be deemed for all purposes to
be a Loan made by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover from the Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender, Term
Loan B Lender, or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on the amount
advanced by it for each day such amount is made available at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable rate on the Loans made on the Borrowing Date.

    (d) In lieu of delivering the written notice described above, the Borrower
may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any request for borrowing
by the time required under this Section 2.02; provided that such telephonic
                                              --------
notice shall be confirmed in writing by delivery (which may include telecopy
transmission) of a written notice to the Administrative Agent by the close of
business on the date of such telephonic notice; provided, that the Borrower's
                                                --------
failure to confirm any telephonic notice in writing shall not invalidate any
notice so given if acted upon by the Administrative Agent.

    Section 2.03. Revolving Credit Notes and Term Notes. The Borrower's
                  -------------------------------------
obligation to repay the Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by promissory
notes of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (each, a
                                                    -----------
"Revolving Credit Note"), the Borrower's obligation to repay Term Loan A shall
be evidenced by promissory notes of the Borrower, substantially in the form of
Exhibit D-1 attached hereto (each, a "Term Loan A Note") and the Borrower's
-----------
obligation to repay Term Loan B shall be evidenced by promissory notes of the
Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 attached hereto (each a "Term
                                       -----------
Loan B Note"), one such Note payable to the order of each Revolving Credit
Lender, Term Loan A Lender or Term Loan B Lender, as the case may be. The
Revolving Credit Note of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be in the principal
amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, dated the
Closing Date, and be stated to mature on the Revolving Credit Termination Date
and bear interest from the date thereof until maturity on

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

the principal balance (from time to time outstanding thereunder) payable at the
rates and in the manner provided herein. The Term Loan A Note of each Term Loan
A Lender shall be in the principal amount of such Term Loan A Lender's Term Loan
A Amount, dated the date on which the Term Loan A is made and be stated to
mature in installments as set forth in Section 2.08 hereof and bear interest
from the date thereof until maturity on the principal amount of the Term Loan A
outstanding thereunder payable at the rates and in the manner determined
pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof. The Term Loan B Note of each Term Loan B Lender
shall be in the principal amount of such Term Loan B Lender's Term Loan B
Amount, dated the date on which the Term Loan B is made and be stated to mature
in installments as set forth in Section 2.08 hereof and bear interest from the
date thereof until maturity on the principal amount of the Term Loan B
outstanding thereunder payable at the rates and in the manner determined
pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A
Lender or Term Loan B Lender, as the case may be, is authorized to indicate upon
the grid attached to either its Revolving Credit Note, Term Loan A Note or Term
Loan B Note, as the case may be, all Loans made by it pursuant to this
Agreement, all interest elections and payments of principal and interest
thereon. Such notations shall be presumed correct absent manifest error as to
such interest elections, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving
Credit Loans, Term Loan A or Term Loan B, as the case may be, made by such
Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender or Term Loan B Lender, as the case
may be, and interest due thereon, but the failure by such Revolving Credit
Lender, Term Loan A Lender or Term Loan B Lender, as the case may be, to make
such notations or the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such notations shall
not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving
Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes or Term Loan B Notes, as the case may be.

    Section 2.04. Revolving Credit Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the
                  -------------------------------
Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders the
commitment fee (the "Revolving Credit Commitment Fee") as set forth below:

    (a) at such time as the Senior Leverage Ratio is greater than 5.00:1.00, an
amount equal to 0.375% per annum of the average daily unused amount of the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment on the basis of a 365/6-day year for the actual
number of days elapsed; and

    (b) at such time as the Senior Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to
5.00:1.00, an amount equal to 0.250% per annum of the average daily unused
amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment on the basis of a 365/6-day year
for the actual number of days elapsed.

    The Revolving Credit Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on each
Quarterly Date and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or the earlier
termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

                                      -26-

    Section 2.05. Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
                  ----------
Agent, the Arranging Agents, the Syndication Agents and the Lenders certain
closing-related fees and to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranging
Agents other fees (the "Other Fees") in the amounts and at the time or times as
may have been agreed between such parties.

    Section 2.06. Optional Cancellation or Reduction of Total Revolving Credit
                  ------------------------------------------------------------
Commitment and Term Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less
-------------------------
than three (3) Business Days' written notice to the Administrative Agent and
upon payment of the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee accrued through the date of
such cancellation or reduction, to cancel the Total Revolving Credit Commitment
in full or to reduce the amount thereof in part in minimum amounts as required
by Section 2.06(b) below; provided that the amount of the Total Revolving Credit
                          --------
Commitment shall at no time be less than the unpaid principal amount of all
Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding. All cancellations or reductions shall
be permanent.

    (b) On the date of any reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment
pursuant to this Section 2.06, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in a
principal amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of Term Loans outstanding
immediately prior to such reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment
multiplied by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the amount of such
reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment by the amount of the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment immediately prior to such reduction of the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment. The aggregate amount of any reduction of the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment plus the amount of the repayment of the Term Loans
made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not be less than
$5,000,000. The Borrower shall also be required to pay all accrued interest on
the principal of the Loans being prepaid to the date of prepayment, and in the
case of Eurodollar Loans which are prepaid prior to the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, the amounts required by Section 4.03. All prepayments of Term
Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be permanent and shall be
applied pro rata between Term Loan A and Term Loan B to installments of
principal in inverse order of their maturities. In allocating hereunder between
Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans, or Term Loan A and Term Loan B, as the
case may be, such allocations may be rounded to the nearest $100,000.

the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Borrower may either (i) give to the
Swing Line Lender an irrevocable written notice in the form of a Swing Line
Borrowing Notice or telephonic notice followed immediately by a Swing Line
Borrowing Notice; provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to confirm
                  --------  -------
any telephonic notice with a Swing Line Borrowing Notice shall not invalidate
any notice so given; or (ii) borrow the Swing Line Loans in accordance with an

Lender which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent (any such agreement, the "ABS

Agreement"); provided that the acceptance of an automatic borrowing by the
---------    --------
Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation that all of the conditions in
Section 6.02 have been satisfied both before and after giving effect to such
Swing Line Loan; provided further that in no case shall any Swing Line Loan be
                 -------- -------
made under the Swing Line Commitment if such funding would increase the
aggregate Swing Line Loans to an amount in excess of the Available Swing Line
Commitment or if aggregate amounts of all Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line
Loans outstanding would exceed the Available Revolving Credit Commitment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when the Available Revolving Credit
Commitment is $10,000,000 or less, no Swing Line Loan shall be made hereunder
without prior written notice to and the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

         (b)    Prepayment and Repayment.
                ------------------------

                (i) In order to facilitate repayment of the Swing Line Loans,
            the Borrower hereby irrevocably requests the Lenders, and the
            Lenders hereby severally agree, on the terms and conditions of this
            Agreement (other than as provided in Article II hereof with respect
            to the amounts of, the time of requests for and the repayment of
            Advances hereunder and in Article VI hereof with respect to
            conditions precedent to Advances hereunder), with respect to Swing
            Line Loans outstanding, upon request of the Swing Line Lender or the
            Borrower (including, without limitation, after any Default or Event
            of Default, but prior to the occurrence of an event described in
            clauses (h) or (i) of Section 8.01 hereof), to make an Advance for
            the Borrower in the amount of such outstandings and to pay the
            proceeds of such Advance directly to the Administrative Agent to
            reimburse the Swing Line Lender for the amount of the Swing Line
            Loans then outstanding; provided, however, that no Lender shall be
                                    --------  -------
            required to make such Advance if, at the time that the Swing Line
            Lender agreed to fund any Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Lender
            had knowledge of the existence of a Default. Each Lender shall pay
            its share of such Advance by paying its portion of such Advance to
            the Administrative Agent in accordance with its Revolving Credit
            Commitment, without reduction for any set-off or counterclaim of any
            nature whatsoever and regardless of whether any Default or Event of
            Default (other than with respect to an event described in clauses
            (h) or (i) of Section 8.01 hereof) then exists or would be caused
            thereby. If, at any time that the Swing Line Loans are outstanding,
            any of the events described in clauses (h) or (i) of Section 8.01
            hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, then each Lender
            shall, automatically upon the occurrence of any such event and
            without any action on the part of the Swing Line Lender, the
            Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them,
            be deemed to have purchased an undivided participation in the then
            outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loans then
            outstanding in an amount equal to

                                      -30-

            such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, times the principal
            amount of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, and each Lender
            shall, notwithstanding such Event of Default, immediately pay to the
            Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender, in
            immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's
            participation (and the Swing Line Lender shall deliver to such
            Lender a written confirmation of such loan participation dated the
            date of the occurrence of such event and in the amount of such
            Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, times the principal amount of
            the Swing Line Loans then outstanding). Notwithstanding any of the
            foregoing, the Borrower shall repay in full any Swing Line Loan
            outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon, on or before
            the earlier of (i) the date and time required by any ABS Agreement,
            (ii) the last day of each calendar quarter in which a Swing Line
            Loan is made and (iii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

                (ii) If any payment under this Agreement or the Swing Line Note
            shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business
            Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business
            Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in
            computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such
            payment.

                (iii) The Borrower agrees to pay principal, interest, fees and
            all other amounts due hereunder or under the Swing Line Note without
            set-off or counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever and free and
            clear of all Taxes.

                (iv) The Borrower hereby agrees that the provisions of Section
            4.04 hereof shall also be applicable to Swing Line Loans and the
            Swing Line Lender.

                (v) If the Swing Line Lender shall obtain any payment (whether
            involuntary or otherwise) on account of the Swing Line Loans in
            excess of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding and the Swing Line
            Lender's share of any expenses, fees and other items due and payable
            to it hereunder, the Swing Line Lender shall forthwith return such
            excess payment to the Administrative Agent for distribution among
            the Lenders based on the provisions of this Agreement.



    (c) Interest and Payments on Swing Line Advances. Interest on each Swing
        --------------------------------------------
Line Advance shall be, at the option of the Borrower, either (i) computed in the
same manner as interest on Base Rate Revolving Loans, or (ii) the Swing Line
Rate, and in each case, shall be payable on the same terms as interest on each
Base Rate Revolving Loan; provided, however, no Swing Line Advance may remain

Advance was made and (iii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

    (d) Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,

amended or waived, only by a writing signed by the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Swing Line Lender.


                                  ARTICLE III.

                                    INTEREST

    Section 3.01. Interest on Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Revolving Loan and
                  ---------------------------
each Base Rate Term Loan (collectively, the "Base Rate Loans") shall bear
interest from the date of such Base Rate Loan until maturity, or a conversion to
a Eurodollar Loan, as the case may be, payable in arrears on the last Business
Day of each calendar quarter of each year, commencing with the first such date
after the date hereof, and on the Final Maturity Date, at a rate per annum (on
the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days involved whenever the
Base Rate is based on the Federal Funds Rate and otherwise on the basis of a
365/6-day year for the actual number of days involved) equal to the sum of (i)
the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Base Rate in effect from time to time, which
rate shall change as and when said Base Rate or Applicable Margin shall change.

    Section 3.02. Interest on Eurodollar Loans. (a) Each Eurodollar
                  ----------------------------
Revolving Loan and each Eurodollar Term Loan (collectively, the "Eurodollar
Loans") shall bear interest from (and including) the first day of each Interest
Period to (but excluding) the last day of such Interest Period, payable in
arrears with respect to Interest Periods of three months or less, on the last
day of the applicable Interest Period, and with respect to Interest Periods
longer than three months, on the three-month anniversary of the commencement of
such Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period, at a rate per
annum (on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days involved),
determined by the Administrative Agent with respect to each Interest Period,
equal to the sum (rounded upwards to the nearest 1/16 of 1%) of (i) the
Applicable Margin and (ii) LIBOR, which rate shall change as and when said
Applicable Margin shall change.


    (b) The Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan shall be initially selected
by the Borrower at least three (3) Business Days not later than 11 A.M. New York
time prior to the beginning of such Interest Period in its notice of borrowing
pursuant to Section 2.02 in the case of the Eurodollar Revolving Loans, or
pursuant to Section 3.03 in the case of Eurodollar Term Loans. Subsequent
Interest Periods shall be selected pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Section 3.03. If the Borrower fails to notify the Administrative Agent of the
Interest Period desired at least three (3) Business Days prior to the last day
of the then current Interest Period for an outstanding Eurodollar Loan, then
such outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall become a Base Rate Loan at the end of the
current Interest Period for such outstanding Eurodollar Loan.

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

    (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) if any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Loan would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, such
Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the
result of such extension would be to carry such Interest Period into another
calendar month, in which event such Interest Period shall end on the immediately
preceding Business Day; and (ii) no Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan may
extend beyond the mandatory prepayment or commitment reduction date where the
making of such prepayment or commitment reduction would otherwise result in
breakage costs with respect to such Interest Period unless Borrower reimburses
Lenders for such breakage cost in accordance with Section 4.03.

    (d) Eurodollar Loans shall be made by each Lender from its branch or
affiliate identified as its Eurodollar Lending Office on Schedule 2 hereto, or
                                                         ----------
such other branch or affiliate as it may hereafter designate to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent as its Eurodollar Lending Office.

    Section 3.03. Procedure for Interest Determination. (a) Except for the Swing
                  ------------------------------------
Line Loans, unless the Borrower shall make an election pursuant to Section
3.03(b) that the Loans or portions thereof shall bear interest as Eurodollar
Loans, the Loans shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans.

    (b) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent not less than three (3)
Business Days' not later than 11 A.M. New York time written notice of its
request for portions of the Loans in the aggregate amount of $500,000 or an
integral multiple thereof to bear interest as Eurodollar Loans. Such notice
shall be in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto and shall specify (i) the date
                        ---------
on which such election is to take effect (the "Election Date"), (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Loans which are to bear interest as Base Rate Loans or
Eurodollar Loans, (iii) when required, the term of the Interest Period therefor
and (iv) the Applicable Margin in effect for such Loans and the Applicable
Margin in effect for all other outstanding Loans hereunder (in each case after
giving effect to any contemporaneous borrowings and repayments of indebtedness
for Borrowed Money of the Borrower); provided, however, that there shall at no
                                     --------  -------
time be Eurodollar Loans outstanding having more than twenty (20) different
Interest Periods; provided further that no Loan may commence
                  ----------------

bearing interest as a Eurodollar Loan so long as any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.



    (c) Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall forthwith give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A
Lender or Term Loan B Lender, as the case may be, of the substance thereof.
Effective on such Election Date, the Loans or portions thereof as to which the
election was made shall commence to accrue interest as set forth in this Article
III for the interest rate selected by the Borrower.

    (d) In lieu of delivering the above described notice, the Borrower may give
the Administrative Agent telephonic notice hereunder by the required time under
this Section

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

3.03; provided that such telephonic notice shall be confirmed in
                   --------
writing by delivery (which may include telecopy transmission) of a written
notice to the Administrative Agent by the close of business on the date of such
telephonic notice.; provided, that the Borrower's failure to confirm any
                    --------
telephone notice in writing shall not invalidate any notice so given if acted
upon by the Administrative Agent.

    (e) No Loan shall be deemed to have been made for purposes of Article VI
hereof solely on account of the Borrower selecting an Interest Period pursuant
to Section 3.02(b) or delivering any notice pursuant to Section 3.03(b) or (d).

    Section 3.04. Post Default Interest. After the occurrence and during the
                  ---------------------
continuance of any Event of Default and until such Event of Default is cured,
the Applicable Margin shall increase by 2.00% per annum.

    Section 3.05. Maximum Interest Rate. (a) Nothing in this Agreement or
                  ---------------------
the Notes shall require the Borrower to pay interest at a rate exceeding the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Neither this Section nor Section 11.01
is intended to limit the rate of interest payable for the account of any Lender
to the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York (or any other
applicable law) if a higher rate is permitted with respect to such Lender by
supervening provisions of U.S. federal law.

    (b) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Lender on any
interest payment date in respect of the immediately preceding interest
computation period, computed pursuant to this Article III, would exceed the
maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, the
amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall
automatically be reduced to such maximum permissible amount.

    (c) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Lender in
respect of any interest computation period is reduced pursuant to Section
3.05(b) and the amount of interest payable for its account in respect of any
subsequent interest computation period would be less than the maximum amount
permitted by law to be charged by such Lender, then the amount of interest
payable for its account in respect of such subsequent interest
computation period shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible
amount; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest
        --------
paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this Section
3.05(c) exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has
theretofore been reduced pursuant to Section 3.05(b).

                            DISBURSEMENT AND PAYMENT

    Section 4.01. Pro Rata Treatment. Except for payments with respect to any
                  ------------------
Swing Line Loan, all payments of interest and principal on the Loans, each
payment of the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee and (except as provided in
Section 4.04(c)) each reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall
be apportioned (i) in the case of payments relating to Revolving Credit
Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans, among the Revolving Credit Lenders pro
rata in the proportion which their respective outstanding Revolving Credit Loans
bear to all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, or if no Revolving Credit Loans
are outstanding, their outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments bear to the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and (ii) in the case of payments relating to
Term Loan A or Term Loan B, pro rata among the Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan
B Lenders, as the case may be, in the proportion which their respective
outstanding Term Loan A or Term Loan B, as the case may be, bear to all
outstanding Term Loan A or Term Loan B, as the case may be. Except as permitted
pursuant to Section 4.05, the Revolving Credit Notes or portions thereof as to
which an election has been made pursuant to Section 3.03 and the Term Notes or
portions thereof as to which an election has been made pursuant to Section 3.03
hereof shall at all times bear interest on the same basis (as Base Rate Loans
and Eurodollar Loans), and the Interest Periods applicable thereto, if any,
shall be of the same duration.

    Section 4.02. Method of Payment. Except for payments with respect to any
                  -----------------
Swing Line Loan, all payments hereunder and under the Notes shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto
in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds at the
Principal Office of the Administrative Agent at or prior to 1:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the date when due. Any payment received after 1:00 P.M., New York
City time, shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day.

    Section 4.03. Compensation for Losses. In the event that the Borrower makes
                  -----------------------
any prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan hereunder (including upon acceleration of
the Notes as provided in Section 8.01) or in the event an Election Date selected
pursuant to Section 3.03 falls on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period for the amount so prepaid or as to which an election is made, or in the
event the Borrower revokes any notice given under Section 2.02 or 3.03 with
respect to a Eurodollar Loan, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender upon its
demand an amount which will compensate such Lender for any loss or premium or
penalty reasonably incurred by such Lender (or any Participant in the related
Loan) as a result of such prepayment, election or revocation of notice in
respect of funds obtained for the purpose of making or maintaining such Lender's
loans, or any part thereof. Such compensation shall include, without limitation,
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would
have accrued on the amount so paid or prepaid, or not

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

borrowed, for the period from the date of such payment or prepayment or failure
to borrow to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure
to borrow, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such
failure to borrow), in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such
Loan provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included
therein) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such
Lender or Participant) which would have accrued to such Lender or Participant on
such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the London interbank market; provided that such Lender shall
                                              --------
have delivered to the Borrower, within sixty (60) days after the date of such
payment or prepayment or failure to borrow, a certificate as to the amount of
such loss or expense, which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis for such loss or expense and shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

    Section 4.04. Taxes, Reserves and Additional Costs.
                  ------------------------------------

    (a) Taxes, Reserves and Additional Costs. In the event that any change in
        ------------------------------------
any present or future applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof, including any formal request,
guideline, directive or policy (whether or not having the force of law) by any
Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation
thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any formal request, guideline,
directive or policy of any such Governmental Authority:

        (i) subjects any Lender or its applicable lending office to any tax,
    duty, levy, impost, deduction, fee, liability or other charge (including the
    imposition of any withholding tax so long as such Lender has complied with
    Section 9.10) with respect to any Loan or any part of its Revolving Credit
    Commitment (other than any tax on or measured by the overall net income of
    such Lender) (individually a "Tax" and collectively "Taxes"); or

        (ii) changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender through its
    applicable lending office of principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by
    such Lender with respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment or of any other
    amounts payable hereunder, or any combination of the foregoing or subjects
    any such payment to any Tax (including the imposition of any withholding tax
    so long as such Lender has complied with Section 9.10) (other than any tax
    on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender); or



        (iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, capital
    adequacy, deposit or similar requirement against any assets held by,
    deposits with or for the account of, or loans or commitments by, or any
    acquisition of funds by or for the account of an office of any Lender or its
    holding company in connection with any Loan, including, without limitation,
    Statutory Reserves (as defined below); or

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

        (iv) imposes upon any Lender any other condition with respect to any
    Loan, any part of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, or this
    Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing (taking such Lender's policies into
account) is to (x) increase the cost to such Lender of making, funding or
maintaining any Loan or any part of its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or
(y) reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise) received or receivable by such Lender or (z) require such Lender or
its holding company to deposit any reserve, increase its capital or make any
payment on or calculated by reference to any Loan made or sum received by it, or
any part of its Revolving Credit Commitment, in each case by an amount which
such Lender in its judgment reasonably deems material; then

            (A) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
        Administrative Agent of the happening of such event;

            (B) such Lender shall promptly, and in any case within ninety (90)
        days of the date when it becomes aware of the happening of such an
        event, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a
        certificate, executed by an authorized officer of such Lender and
        delivered by a relationship officer thereof, stating the change which
        has occurred or the reserve requirements or other conditions which have
        been imposed or the formal request, direction or requirement with which
        such Lender has complied or will comply, or Tax to which it has or will
        become subject, together with the date thereof, the amount of such
        increased costs, reduction or payment (including any interest, penalties
        or expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the payment of
        any Tax), the way in which such amount has been calculated, and shall
        certify that this is the Lender's standard method of calculating such
        amount, that such amount is or will be calculated in a similar way for
        other borrowers of the Lender under similar circumstances, that
        compliance with such formal request, direction or requirement does not
        result in such Lender treating the Borrower in a manner inconsistent
        with its treatment of other borrowers which are subject to similar
        provisions, and that its method of allocating any such costs, reductions
        or payments is fair and reasonable; and

            (C) the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for
        transfer to such affected Lender such amount or amounts set forth in
        such certificate as will compensate such Lender for such additional
        costs, reduction or payment.

    For purposes of this Section 4.04(a), "Statutory Reserves" shall mean, with
respect to a Eurodollar Loan, the quotient (expressed as a decimal, rounded to
the nearest 1/100 of 1%) obtained by dividing (i) the number one by (ii) one
minus the aggregate of the reserve percentages expressed as a decimal
established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for
Eurocurrency Liabilities as prescribed under Regulation D of said Board of
Governors.

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

    The certificate of the affected Lender as to the additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) delivered to the Borrower shall contain in
reasonable detail the basis upon which such additional amounts have been
calculated and shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. The provisions
of this Section 4.04(a) shall be applicable to the Borrower and the affected
Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability of
the law, regulation or condition which has been imposed. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to reimburse any Lender for any
increased costs, reductions or payments under this Section 4.04(a) in respect of
a period prior to ninety (90) days preceding the date of request, unless the
applicable law or regulation is imposed retroactively. In the case of a law or
regulation which is retroactive in effect, such notice shall be provided to the
Borrower not later than ninety (90) days from the date that such Lender
reasonably should have learned of such law or regulation, and the Borrower's
obligation to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction is
contingent upon the provision of such timely notice (but any failure by such
Lender to provide such timely notice shall not affect the Borrower's
reimbursement obligations with respect to (a) costs or reduction incurred from
the date as of which the law or regulation is effective to the date that is
ninety (90) days after such Lender reasonably should have learned of such law or
regulation and (b) costs or reductions incurred following the provision of such
notice). No failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation under this
Section 4.04(a) shall constitute a waiver of its right to demand such
compensation on any other occasion in connection with any other similar or
dissimilar event. If the affected Lender shall subsequently recoup costs for
which such Lender has theretofore been compensated by the Borrower, such Lender
shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of the recoupment.

    Upon receipt of any certificate delivered in accordance with this Section
4.04(a), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to any Lender upon its request
such further instruments as may be necessary or desirable to give full force and
effect to any payment required as set forth in such certificate, including,
without limitation, a new Note of the Borrower to be issued in exchange for any
Note theretofore issued.

    The Borrower shall also hold each Lender harmless and indemnify it for any
stamp or other taxes (other than any tax on or measured by the overall net
income of such Lender) with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery,
recording, performance or enforcement of the Credit Documents (all of which
shall be included in "Taxes"). The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all Taxes or other charges
deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder.

    (b) Lending Office Designations. Before giving any notice to the Borrower
        ---------------------------
pursuant to this Section, a Lender shall, if possible, designate a different
lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice
and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to the
Lender.

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

    (c) Replacement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
        -----------
upon delivery to the Borrower by a Lender of a notice under Section 4.04 or 4.05
hereof or a request for compensation or additional amounts pursuant to Section
4.04(a), the Borrower shall be entitled, at any time within sixty (60) days of
the receipt of such notice, to (i) pay all amounts then owing, whether or not
due, to such Lender under this Agreement including the compensation or
additional amounts so requested and (ii) either (A) replace such Lender with
another bank reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) reduce the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment provided under this Agreement by terminating
in whole or in part the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender. Any
reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to subclause (B)
above shall not affect the aggregate dollar amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments of the remaining Lenders under this Agreement.

    Section 4.05. Unavailability. If at any time any Lender shall have
                  --------------
determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error) that the making or maintenance of any part of such Lender's
Eurodollar Loans has been made impracticable or unlawful because of compliance
by such Lender in good faith with any law or guideline or interpretation or
administration thereof by any official body charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof or with any request or directive of such body (whether or
not having the effect of law), because U.S. dollar deposits in the amount and
requested maturity of such Eurodollar Loan are not available to the Lender in
the London Eurodollar interbank market or because of any other reason, then the
Administrative Agent, upon notification to it of such determination by such
Lender, shall forthwith advise the other Lenders and the Borrower thereof. Upon
such date as shall be specified in such notice and until such time as the
Administrative Agent, upon notification to it by such Lender, shall notify the
Borrower and the other Lenders that the circumstances specified by it in such
notice no longer apply, (i) notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, such Lender's portion of such Eurodollar Loan shall automatically and
without requirement of notice by the Borrower be converted to a Base Rate Loan
and (ii) the obligation of only such Lender to allow borrowing, elections and
renewals of Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and, if the Borrower shall in a
notice of borrowing or election request that such Lender make a Eurodollar Loan,
the loan requested to be made by such Lender shall instead be made as a Base
Rate Loan.

<PAGE>

    or arbitrator or before any Governmental Authority which enjoins or seeks to
    enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Insight

    television industry generally, there are no proceedings, investigations or
    labor controversies pending or, so far as the Borrower knows, threatened
    before any court or arbitrator or before or by any Governmental Authority
    which, in any one case or in the aggregate, if there is a reasonable
    possibility of a determination adverse to the interests of the Borrower, the
    Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, could reasonably be expected to have a
    Material Adverse Effect or which calls into question the validity of any
    Credit Document or Related Document or the transactions contemplated hereby
    or thereby.

        None of ICP-VI, the Borrower, the Parent nor any Restricted Subsidiary
    is in default under or in violation of any Order of any court, arbitrator or
    Governmental Authority or of any statute or law or of any rule or regulation
    of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation has or could

Subsidiary) and no provision of the Borrower Partnership Agreement, the Parent
Partnership Agreement or the partnership agreement or by-laws, as the case may
be, of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any general partner or shareholder
thereof which would prohibit or in any material way conflict with or prevent the
execution, delivery, or performance of the terms of any Credit Document
or any Related Document or result in or require the creation or imposition of
any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on any of the properties of the
Borrower, the Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (including each
System previously acquired by Borrower, or a Restricted Subsidiary) as a
consequence of the execution, delivery and performance of any Credit Document or
Related Document or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby except such
statute, regulation, rule, order or judgment or provision which, upon exercise
of remedies by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, requires filing with or
approval of a Governmental Authority for the transfer of the Franchises and FCC
Licenses. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower, the Parent
and the Restricted Subsidiaries of each

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

authorized officer(s) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary) or any
approval or consent of any Person under any agreement or instrument binding on
the Borrower or any of its partners or any Restricted Subsidiary, or affecting
their respective properties (including each System previously acquired by
Borrower), other than approvals which have been previously obtained and are in

which are adequate under GAAP have been established.

    (k) Margin Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to

Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The making of the Loans hereunder, the

    (s) Hypothecation Agreements. The provisions of the Hypothecation Agreements
        ------------------------
are effective to create in favor of the Lenders a valid, binding and enforceable
security

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

interest or Lien in all right, title and interest of the pledgors under the
Hypothecation Agreements in the collateral described therein, and shall, upon
proper recording or filing with the proper state and county authorities or

constituent thereof, currently identified or listed as hazardous or toxic
pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., or any other Environmental Laws, that could result

radioactive materials. Except as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto, to the
                                              ----------
Borrower's knowledge, based on reasonable investigation, the Borrower has not
caused or suffered to occur any release of any Contaminant into the environment
or any other conditions that could result in the incurrence of material
liabilities nor any material violations of any Environmental Laws. Except as set
forth on Schedule 3 hereto, to the Borrower's knowledge, based on reasonable
         ----------
investigation, the Borrower has not caused or suffered to occur any condition on
any of the Borrower's property that could give rise to the imposition of any
material lien under the Environmental Laws. Except as set forth on Schedule 3

Borrower is not engaged in any manufacturing or any other operations which have
a material effect on the Borrower, other than the use of petroleum products for
vehicles, that require the use, handling, transportation, storage or disposal of
any Contaminant, where such operations require permits or are otherwise

    (v) Material Contracts. None of the Borrower, the Parent or any Restricted
        ------------------
Subsidiary is a party to, and none of them and none of their respective
properties are subject to or bound by, any agreement or instrument (other than
the Credit Documents and the Related Documents) which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

    (w) Performance of Agreements. None of the Borrower, the Parent or any
        -------------------------
Restricted Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any
contractual obligation of the Borrower, the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be, including, without limitation, the Related Documents (other
than the Parent Credit Documents), and no condition exists which, with the
giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default,
except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults,
if any, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

    (x) Pole Attachment Agreements, Franchises, Licenses, Approvals of
        --------------------------------------------------------------
Regulatory Authorities, etc. Each Franchise necessary for the operation of the
---------------------------
Systems is in full force and effect and no material default has occurred and is
continuing under or in respect of any of the provisions of any such Franchise
except where such failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Pole Attachment Agreement necessary for the operation of
the Systems is in full force and effect and no material default has occurred and
is continuing under or in respect of any of the provisions of any such Pole
Attachment Agreement, except to the extent that the absence of such Pole
Attachment Agreement or such default, individually or in the aggregate, could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No approval,
application, filing, registration, consent or other action of any Governmental
Authority is required to enable the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, to act pursuant to any such Pole Attachment Agreement or
Franchise. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has received any
notice from the granting body, any other Governmental Authority or any other
Person with respect to, nor does the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary have
any knowledge of, any breach of any covenant under, or any default with respect
to, or the termination, or threatened termination, for any reason of any such
Pole Attachment Agreement or Franchise, which could have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, as appropriate, will own or be
licensed or otherwise have the right to use all licenses, permits, patents,
trademarks, service-marks, trade names, copyrights, franchises, including
authorizations and other rights (including, without limitation, rights under
Pole Attachment Agreements, easement agreements, leases of real and/or personal
property, right-of-way agreements, railroad crossing agreements, multiple
dwelling unit agreements, programming agreements, transmission and
retransmission agreements and subscriber agreements that are necessary for the
operation of any System by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary), except
to the extent that the absence thereof shall not have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, as appropriate, will own or be licensed
or otherwise have the right to use all Franchises that are necessary for the
operation of each System, except to the extent that the failure to so own or use
shall not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and

                                      -48-
<PAGE>

each Restricted Subsidiary have complied in all material respects in
accordance with cable industry standards with the Copyright Act of 1976, as
amended, including (without limitation) filing the statements of account and
making the royalty payments specified in Section 111 therein.

    (y) Year 2000 Issues. The Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries have
        ----------------
initiated a review of their operations with a view to assessing whether their
business or operations will, in the receipt, transmission, processing,
manipulation, storage, retrieval, retransmission or other utilization of data,
be vulnerable to any significant risk that computer hardware or software used in
their business or operations will not, in the case of dates or time periods
occurring after December 31, 1999, function at least as effectively as in the
case of dates or time periods occurring prior to January 1, 2000. Based on such
review, the Borrower has no reason to believe that a Material Adverse Effect
will occur with respect to such business or operations resulting from any such
risk.

set off against the balance of any deposit accounts maintained with it the
obligations due to it under this Agreement; and provided further that nothing
                                                ----------------
herein contained shall obligate any Lender to apply any set-off or banker's lien
or collateral security permitted hereby first to the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder if the Borrower is obligated to such Lender pursuant to other loans or
notes, but any such application of proceeds shall be pro rata among the
obligations of the Borrower to such Lender. In the event that any purchasing
Lender shall be required to return any excess payment received by it, the
purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such return, but without interest.

    Section 9.03. The Administrative Agent's Liabilities. Each of the Lenders
                  --------------------------------------
and the Borrower agrees that (a) neither the Administrative Agent in such
capacity nor any of its officers or employees shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder except for their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, (b) neither the Administrative Agent in such
capacity nor any of its officers or employees shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in good faith in reliance upon the
advice of counsel, independent public accountants or other experts selected by
the Administrative Agent, and (c) the Administrative Agent in such capacity
shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or
other document (including any telegram, cable, telex, facsimile or telephone
transmission) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed
and/or sent by the proper Persons.

    Section 9.04. Defaults and Events of Default. The Administrative Agent shall
                  ------------------------------
not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or Event of
Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans) unless
it shall have received notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of
Default". In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of
the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt
notice of each such non-payment). The Administrative Agent shall (subject to
Section 9.08 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided that,
                                                                 --------
unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions,
the Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such
action, with respect to such Default and Event of Default as the Administrative
Agent shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.

    Section 9.05. Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Revolving Credit
                  ------------------
Commitment and the Loans made by it, Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc., in its
capacity as a Lender hereunder, shall have the same rights and powers hereunder
as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it was not acting as the
Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. The Administrative Agent may (without having to account therefor to
any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower and any
affiliates of the Borrower as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent,
and the Administrative Agent may accept fees and other consideration from the
Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without
having to account for the same to the Lenders.

    The Borrower and each Lender, by their execution of this Agreement, hereby
acknowledge that one or more of the Lenders or their affiliates may own or
hereafter acquire limited partnership interests in the Parent or the Ultimate
Parent. The Borrower and each Lender agree that such Lenders shall be entitled
to exercise or refrain from exercising their rights hereunder in their sole
discretion and regardless of the interests of the other Lenders hereunder. The
Borrower and each Lender hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, any action, claim, or defense against such Lenders based on or arising out
of such ownership. Such waiver shall be binding upon each Participant or
Assignee hereunder.

    Section 9.06. Lender Credit Decision. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
                  ----------------------
any of its officers or employees has any responsibility for, gives any guaranty
in respect of, nor makes any representation to the Lenders as to, (a) the
condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower, any Subsidiary, the pledgor
under any Hypothecation Agreement or any Guarantor or the truth of any
representation or warranty made herein or in any other Credit Document, or in
connection herewith or therewith or (b) the validity, execution, sufficiency,
effectiveness, construction, adequacy, enforceability or value of this Agreement
or any other Credit Document or any other document or instrument related hereto
or thereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall
have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect to the
operations, business, property, condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower,
any Subsidiary, any Guarantor or any pledgor under a Hypothecation Agreement,
whether such information comes into its possession on or before the date hereof
or at any time thereafter. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document.

    Section 9.07. Indemnification. The Lenders agree (which agreement shall
                  ---------------
survive payment of the Loans and the Notes) to indemnify the Administrative
Agent, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or Guarantors, ratably in
accordance with the sum of their respective Term Loans plus their respective
Revolving Credit Commitments or after the Revolving Credit Termination Date,
their respective Revolving Credit Loans (as of the time of the incurrence of the
liability being indemnified against) from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on,

                                      -70-
<PAGE>

incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or
any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent hereunder or
thereunder; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
            --------
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the
Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any
out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative
Agent in such capacity in connection with the preparation, execution or
enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any amendments or supplements
hereto or thereto, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed
for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.

    Section 9.08. Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the
                  --------------
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document, the
Administrative Agent shall, in all cases, be fully justified in failing or
refusing to act hereunder or thereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

    Section 9.09. Resignation of Administrative Agent. Subject to the
                  -----------------------------------
appointment and acceptance of a successor to the Administrative Agent as
provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation or removal,
the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Administrative
Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower shall have been so appointed by the
Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30)
days after a retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or
the Majority Lenders' removal of such retiring Administrative Agent, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which shall either
be a Lender or be a bank organized under the laws of the United States of
America or any state having an office (or an affiliate with an office) in New
York, New York, and a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After a
retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue in effect
for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was acting as an Administrative Agent.

         Section 9.10 Withholding Tax Exemption. Not later than the Closing Date
                      -------------------------
or, if such date does not occur within thirty (30) days after the date of this
Agreement, by the end of such thirty day period, each Lender agrees that it will
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (a), if such Lender is a
"bank" under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, either (i) a statement that it is
organized under the laws of or incorporated in the United States of America or
(ii) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form
1001 or 4224, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, indicating in
each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes as
permitted by the Code or, (b) if such Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and which intends to claim exemption from
U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with
respect to payments of "portfolio interest", a Form W-8, or any subsequent
versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Lender delivers a Form W-8,
a certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of
Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning
of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code and is not a controlled foreign corporation
related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)),
properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, indicating that such Lender
is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes as permitted by the Code.
Each Lender which delivers to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Form
1001, 4224 or W-8, or successor applicable form, pursuant to the next preceding
sentence further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent two further copies of the said Form 1001, 4224 or W-8, or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, as and when the previous form filed by it
hereunder shall expire or shall become incomplete or inaccurate in any respect,
unless in any of such cases an event has occurred prior to the date on which any
such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable.

which may be instituted against it by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in

such authorized agent and written notice of such service to the Borrower or the
Parent, as the case may be, shall be deemed in every respect effective service
of process upon the Borrower or the Parent, as the case may be, and the Borrower
and the Parent each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of any such

laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in the
aforesaid courts and hereby irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit,
action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall in any
way affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring any
action arising out of or relating to the Loans or this Agreement and each other
Credit Document in any competent court elsewhere having jurisdiction over the
Borrower or the Parent, as the case may be, or their property.

    Section 11.01. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
                   --------------
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.

    Section 11.02. Set-off. As security for its obligations hereunder, the
                   -------
Borrower hereby grants to each Lender a security interest in, lien upon, and
right of set-off against any amounts standing to the credit of the Borrower on
the books of such Lender in any deposit or other account maintained with any
branch of such Lender.

         Section 11.03. Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to pay
                        -------------------------
(a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Arranging Agents (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy LLP, as
counsel to the Administrative Agent in an amount, when added to the fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Parent Loan Agreements, not to exceed
three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000)) in connection with the preparation of
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any

                                      -73-
<PAGE>

amendments or supplements hereto or thereto or waivers or consents relating
hereto or thereto and (b) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the

Borrower agrees (which agreement is in addition to the provisions of Section
4.04(a) and not in duplication or limitation thereof) to indemnify, pay and hold
the Lenders and the Arranging Agents, and the officers, directors, employees and
agents of the Lenders and the Arranging Agents (collectively called the
"Indemnitees"), harmless from and against any and all other liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims,
costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such
Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto)

manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents and any liability arising from any Environmental Law, the Lenders'
agreement to make the Loans or, the making of the Loans, or in any way arising
from any actions in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Related
Documents, including without limitation, the pledge or release of any collateral
and in particular the pledges of partnership interests or the use or intended

indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and
hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because
it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the
maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to
the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by the
Indemnitees or any of them.

    Section 11.04. Amendments.
                   ----------

    (a) Any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Credit Documents
(other than the KeepWell Agreement) may be amended or waived, or the KeepWell
Agreement may be released, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or release is
in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Majority Lenders (and, if the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the
Administrative Agent); provided that no such amendment, waiver or modification
                       --------
shall, unless signed by all the Lenders, (i) increase the Revolving Credit
Commitment, Term Loan A Amount or Term Loan B Amount of any

                                      -74-

Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee or (y) release all or
substantially all of the Liens or collateral under any Hypothecation Agreement

hereunder). Any Lender which has sold a participating interest in its Loans or
its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 11.08 shall be entitled to
split its vote to account for the exercise of any voting right granted to a
Participant with respect to such participating interest permitted by Section
11.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any of the information or
disclosures provided on any of the Schedules originally attached hereto or to
any Credit Document become outdated or incorrect solely as a result of the
consummation of a Permitted Acquisition in compliance with the terms hereunder,
the Borrower may unilaterally make such revisions or updates to the Schedule(s)
as may be necessary or appropriate to update or correct such Schedule(s) by
delivering to the Administrative Agent revised schedules as part of a
certificate of a Responsible Person required pursuant to Section7.1(a); provided
                                                                        --------
that no such revisions or updates to any Schedule(s) shall be deemed to have
amended, modified or superseded such Schedule(s) as originally attached hereto,
unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have accepted in writing such
revisions or updates to such Schedule(s).

    (b) Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to
execute the KeepWell Agreement, the KeepWell Subordination Agreement, the other
Credit Documents and related documents to which it is a party on behalf of such
Lender. Any provision of the Intercreditor Agreement or the KeepWell
Subordination Agreement may be amended or waived by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders, but only if such amendment or waiver is executed at the
direction and with the consent of the Majority Lenders. Any provision of the
KeepWell Agreement may be amended or waived by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders, but no material term or condition of the KeepWell
Agreement may be amended or waived in any respect materially adverse to the
Lenders without the consent of the Majority Lenders.

                   -------------------------------
to the Lenders hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in

may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of the Administrative
Agent, the Arranging Agent or the

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will operate as a
waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by the Administrative
Agent, the Arranging Agents or the Lenders of any right preclude any other or
future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

    Section 11.06. Notices. Any communication, demand or notice to be given
                   -------

    Section 11.08. Assignments and Participations.
                   ------------------------------

    (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except
that the Borrower may not assign any of its rights hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Lenders.

    (b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other
institutions (each a "Participant") participating interests in its Revolving
Credit Commitment or any or all of its Loans, in each case, in minimum amounts
of the lesser of (x) the entire remaining

                                      -77-
<PAGE>

amount of such Lender's Loans and Commitments or (y) five million dollars
($5,000,000); provided that no minimum amount shall be required in respect of
              --------
any participation in whole or in part, (i) to another Lender or (ii) to an
Affiliate of any Lender. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a
participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for
the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating
interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and
responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including,
without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement
                                    --------
may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modifications, amendments or
waivers of this Agreement which require the consent of such Lender without the
consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 11.03 with respect to its
participating interest; provided that all amounts payable to a Lender for the
                        --------
account of a Participant under Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 11.03 shall be determined
as if such Lender had not granted such participation to the Participant. An
assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by Section 11.08(c) shall be
given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a
participating interest granted in accordance with this Section 11.08(b).

    (c) With the written consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Administrative Agent, any Lender may
assign to one or more banks or other institutions (each an "Assignee") all, or a
part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, in each
case, in minimum amounts of the lesser of (x) the entire remaining amount of
such Lender's Loans and Commitments or (y) five million dollars ($5,000,000),
and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an
instrument executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender which shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto; provided that the written consent
                             ---------         --------
of the Borrower shall not be required in respect of any assignment in whole or
in part, (i) to another Lender, (ii) to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any
Lender or (iii) to a Federal Reserve Bank or (iv) to any Person if an Event of
Default under Sections 8.01(a), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing;
provided further that no minimum amount or consent of the Administrative Agent
-------- -------
shall be required in respect of any assignment in whole or in part, (i) to
another Lender, (ii) to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or (iii) to
a Federal Reserve Bank. Upon execution and delivery of such an instrument and
upon notice to the Administrative Agent together with payment to the
Administrative Agent of a processing fee in the amount of three thousand five
hundred dollars ($3,500), such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this
Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender as set forth
in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released
from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent
or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any
assignment pursuant to this

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

Section 11.08(c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are
issued to the Assignee.

    (d) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender's rights
shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.04 than such
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights
transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower's prior written
consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 4.04 requiring such Lender to
designate a different Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time
when the circumstances giving rise to such payment did not exist.

    (e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender that
is a fund that invests in bank loans may, without the consent of the Agent or
the Borrower, pledge all or any portion of its rights under, and interest in,
this Agreement and the Notes to any trustee or to any other representative of
holders of obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund as security for
such obligations or securities; provided, however, that any transfer to any
                                --------
Person upon the enforcement of such pledge or security interest may only be made
subject to the assignment provisions of Section 11.08.

    Section 11.09. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential
                   ---------------
information that it may receive from the Borrower or its Subsidiaries pursuant
to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to other Lenders or
any affiliate or any Approved Fund of such Lender; (b) to legal counsel and
accountants for Borrower or any Lender; (c) to other professional advisors to
the Borrower or any Lender, provided that the recipient has delivered to the
Lender a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section
11.09; (d) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Lender; (e) as
required by law or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding to
which that Lender and the Borrower are adverse parties; (f) to another financial
institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that
financial institution of all or part of that Lender's interests hereunder or a
participation interest in its Note; (g) to prospective purchasers of any
Collateral in connection with any disposition thereof; or (h) to any direct or
indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such counterparty's
professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional
advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section 11.09). Each Lender further agrees that it will not use any such
confidential information in any activity or for any purpose other than the
administration of the credit facilities extended to Borrower under this
Agreement. For purposes of the foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean
any information respecting the Borrower and its Subsidiaries reasonably
considered to be confidential (including any information stamped or otherwise
designated as confidential by the Borrower on the face thereof), other than (i)
                                                                 ----------
information previously filed with any Governmental Authority and available to
the public, (ii) information previously published in any public medium, and
(iii) information previously disclosed by the Borrower to any Person not
associated with the Borrower without a written confidentiality agreement
substantially similar to this Section 11.09. Nothing in this Section 11.09 shall
be construed to create or

                                      -79-
<PAGE>

give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders to the Borrower. Certain of the confidential information provided by
Borrower and its Subsidiaries to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement is or
may be valuable proprietary information that constitutes a trade secret of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary; neither the provision of such confidential
information to the Lenders or the limited disclosures thereof permitted by this
Section 11.09 shall affect the status of any such confidential information as a
trade secret of the Borrower or such Subsidiary. Each Lender, and each other
Person who agrees to be bound by this Section 11.09, acknowledges that any
breach of the agreements contained in this Section 11.09 would result in losses
that could not be reasonably or adequately compensated by money damages.
Accordingly, if any Lender or such other Person breaches its obligations
hereunder, such Lender or other Person recognizes and consents to the right of
Borrower to seek injunctive relief to compel such Lender or other Person to
abide by the terms of this Section 11.09.

    Section 11.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
                   -------------------------
any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

    Section 11.11   Survival. All representations and warranties made by
                    --------
the Borrower in this Agreement, and in the certificates or other instruments
prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, (i)
shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive
the making of the Loans regardless of any investigation made by, or on behalf
of, the Lenders, and (ii) shall continue in full force and effect as long as any
Loan or any fee payable or contemplated hereunder or any other amount payable
under any other Credit Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment has not been terminated.

    Section 11.12. Consent. Upon execution hereof by the Majority Lenders,
                   -------
the Lenders hereby consent to (a) the consummation of the Insight Purchase on
substantially the terms and conditions set forth in the Insight Purchase
Agreement, provided, however, contemporaneously with such transfer, Insight
Kentucky Capital delivers to the Administrative Agent a Security and
Hypothecation Agreement executed by Insight Kentucky Capital dated as of October
1, 1999 in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (b) the
payment by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries on or before the Closing
Date of the amounts contemplated by Section 6.14 of the Insight Purchase
Agreement under the Services Agreement, Administration Fee Agreement and
Monitoring Fee Agreements referenced therein, (c) the transfer by InterMedia
Management Inc. ("IMI") of its ownership interests in the Borrower, Parent and
Operating Subsidiary to Insight Kentucky Capital free and clear of the liens
created by the Security and Hypothecation Agreement executed by IMI, which
agreement shall be deemed automatically terminated upon consummation of the
Insight Purchase, (d) the transfer by TCI IP-VI, LLC of its ownership interests
in ICP-VI required by the Insight Purchase Agreement notwithstanding

                                      -80-
<PAGE>

any provision of the KeepWell Agreement, (e) the execution and delivery of the
KeepWell Agreement and (f) the execution and delivery of the KeepWell
Subordination Agreement. Notwithstanding any provisions herein, this Consent is
not contingent upon the fulfillment of the Conditions Precedent set forth in
Section 6.01 herein and is effective upon the receipt of the executed signature
pages hereof of the Majority Lenders.


                                  ARTICLE XII.

                                LIMITED RECOURSE

    Section 12.01. Limited Recourse. No Lender shall have recourse to any
                   ----------------
limited or general partner of the Borrower or any limited or general partner of
such partner for the payment of any obligation of the Parent and the Borrower,
except as expressly provided in the KeepWell Agreement, the Guarantees and the
Hypothecation Agreements to the extent such partner is a party thereto.
