<OL TYPE="i">

<LI>The issue and sale of the Securities and the compliance by the Issuers with all the provisions of the Securities and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated do not and will not contravene the Cable Acts or any order, rule or regulation of the FCC to which the Issuers or any of their Parent Companies or subsidiaries or any of their property is subject; however, to the extent that any document purports to grant a security interest in licenses issued by the FCC, the FCC has taken the position that security interests in FCC licenses are not valid.  To the extent that any party seeks to exercise control of an FCC license in the event of a default or for any other reason, it may be necessary to obtain prior FCC consent;</LI>
<LI>To the best of such counsel's knowledge, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration, qualification or filing with the FCC is required under the Cable Acts or any order, rule or regulation of the FCC to which the Issuers or any of their Parent Companies or subsidiaries or any of their property is subject and the compliance by the Issuers with all the provisions of the Securities, the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated; however, to the extent that any document purports to grant a security interest in licenses issued by the FCC, the FCC has taken the position that security interests in FCC licenses are not valid; to the extent that any party seeks to exercise control of an FCC license in the event of a default or for any other reason, it may be necessary to obtain prior FCC consent;</LI>
<LI>The statements set forth in the Offering Circular under the caption "Risk Factors" under the subheading "Risks Relating to Regulatory and Legislative Matters," insofar as they constitute summaries of laws referred to therein, concerning the Cable Acts or the published rules, regulations and policies promulgated by the FCC thereunder, fairly summarize the matters described therein;</LI>

<LI>Except as disclosed in the Offering Circular and except with respect to rate regulation matters, and general rulemakings and similar matters relating generally to the cable television, industry, to such counsel's knowledge, based solely upon its review of the publicly available records of the FCC and upon inquiry of the Parent Companies', Issuers' and the Company's subsidiaries' management, during the time the cable systems of the Parent Companies, the Issuers and the Company's subsidiaries have been owned by the Parent Companies, the Issuers and the Company's subsidiaries (A) there has been no adverse FCC judgment, order or decree issued by the FCC relating to the ongoing operations of any of the Parent Companies, the Issuers or one of the Company's subsidiaries that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (B) there are no actions, suits, proceedings, inquiries or investigations by or before the FCC pending or threatened in writing against or specifically affecting the Parent Companies, the Issuers or any of the Company's subsidiaries or any cable system of the Parent Companies, the Issuers or any of the Company's subsidiaries which could, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;</LI></OL>

<LI><U>Indemnification and Contribution.</LI>
<OL TYPE="a">

</U><LI>The Issuers will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, its officers, partners, members, directors and its affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may become subject, under the Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Offering Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary offering circular or Exchange Act Reports or Additional Issuers Information, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Issuers' failure to perform its obligations under Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of this Agreement, and will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Issuers will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by any Purchaser through CSFB specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.</LI>
<LI>Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuers may become subject, under the Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary offering circular, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by such Purchaser through CSFB specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuers in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Purchaser consists of the following information in the Offering Circular furnished on behalf of each Purchaser: (i) the last paragraph of the cover page of the Offering Circular relating to the delivery of the Securities; and (ii) under the caption "Plan of Distribution, the paragraph relating to over-allotment, covering and stabilization transactions; provided, however, that the Purchasers shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Issuers' failure to perform its obligations under Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of this Agreement.</LI>
<LI>Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.</LI>
<LI>If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers from the Issuers under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers or the Purchaser and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Purchaser from the Issuers under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The Purchasers' obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.</LI>
<LI>The obligations of the Issuers under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Issuers within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act.</LI></OL>

<LI><U>Termination</U>.

Accordingly, each Purchaser represents and agrees that neither it, nor any of its affiliates nor any person acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Securities, and that it and they have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S.  Each Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to the confirmation of sale of Securities (other than a sale of Securities pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) of the Agreement to which this is an annex), it shall have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it during the distribution compliance period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:</P><DIR>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">(2)	Each Purchaser represents and agrees that:</P>
