 ARTICLE II 
  
 THE FACILITIES 
  
 Section 2.1 The Commitments 
  
 (a)
Revolving Credit Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans in Dollars (each a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time
to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding for all such loans by such Revolving Credit Lender not to exceed such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that at no time shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan in excess of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the
Available Credit. Within the limits of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender, amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1. 
  
 (b) Term Loan Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Term Loan
Lender severally agrees to make a loan (each a “Term Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date, in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Amounts of Term Loans repaid or prepaid may not be
reborrowed. 
  
 Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures

  
 (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (i) one Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the
date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (Form of Notice of Borrowing) (a “Notice of Borrowing”), specifying, (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing (which, in
the case of the Term Loan Borrowing, shall be the Closing Date), (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, (D) for each Eurodollar Rate
Loan, the initial Interest Period or Periods thereof. Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion
thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans and (E) remittance instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.3(a) (Swing Loans), if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the
Administrative Agent may make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount
of such Swing Loan. Each Borrowing (other than a Swing Loan) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 
  

 36 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (b) The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative
Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.14(a) (Determination of Interest Rate). Each
Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), in immediately available funds, such
Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. Upon fulfillment (or due waiver in accordance with Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.)) (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section
3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit) and (ii) at any time (including the Closing Date), of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of
Credit), and after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower. 
  
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date
of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have
so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the
case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and, thereafter, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding
amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not
relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower. 
  
 (d) The failure of any Lender to make on the date specified any Loan or any payment required by it (such Lender being a “Non-Funding Lender”), including any payment in respect of its participation in
Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or
payment required under this Agreement. 
  
 Section 2.3 Swing
Loans 
  
 (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions
contained in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender may, in its sole discretion, make, in Dollars, loans (each a “Swing Loan”) otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business
Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding (together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any other Loan made by the Swing Loan Lender
hereunder in its capacity as a Lender or the Swing Loan Lender) not to exceed the lesser of the Available Credit and the 
  

 37 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 Swing Loan Sublimit. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall be repaid no later than the Revolving Credit
Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a). 
  
 (b) In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower shall provide to the Swing Loan Lender a duly completed request in
substantially the form of Exhibit D (Form of Swing Loan Request), setting forth the requested amount and date of such Swing Loan (a “Swing Loan Request”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender may make
a Swing Loan available to the Borrower on the date of the relevant Swing Loan Request. The Swing Loan Lender shall not make any Swing Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative
Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are
satisfied. The Swing Loan Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in
connection with the making of any Swing Loan. 
  
 (c) The Swing
Loan Lender may demand at any time that each Revolving Credit Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, in the manner provided in clause (e) below, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of
all or a portion of the outstanding Swing Loans, which demand shall be made through the Administrative Agent, shall be in writing and shall specify the outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans demanded to be paid. 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall forward each demand referred to in
clause (c) above to each Revolving Credit Lender on the day such demand is received by the Administrative Agent (except that any such demand received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or any such
demand received on a day that is not a Business Day shall not be required to be forwarded to the Revolving Credit Lenders by the Administrative Agent until the next succeeding Business Day), together with a notice specifying the amount of each
Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans demanded to be paid pursuant to such demand, and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions
Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) and 2.1(a) (Revolving Credit Commitments) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each Revolving Credit Lender
shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Revolving Credit Lender’s receipt of such demand, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, for the account of the
Swing Loan Lender, the amount specified in such statement. Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except as provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower.
The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Loan Lender. To the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan
Lender, the Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on demand. 
  
 (e) Upon the occurrence of a Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), each Revolving Credit Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by
such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to clause (c) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to 
  

 38 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Loan Lender on the
date on which such Revolving Credit Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (c) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan. If all or part of such amount is not in fact made available by such Revolving Credit Lender to the Swing Loan Lender on such date, the Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount on
demand from such Revolving Credit Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and, thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans.

  
 (f) From and after the date on which any Revolving Credit
Lender (i) is deemed to have made a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (e) above with respect to any Swing Loan or (ii) purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to clause (f) above, the Swing Loan Lender
shall promptly distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of all payments of principal of and interest received by the Swing Loan Lender on account of such Swing Loan other than those received from
a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to clause (e) or (f) above. 
  
 Section 2.4 Letters of Credit 
  
 (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Issuer agrees to Issue at the request of the Borrower and for the account of the Borrower one or more Letters of Credit from time to
time on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and 30 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, however, that no Issuer shall
be under any obligation to Issue (and, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi)(A) below, shall not Issue) any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following:

law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer
with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date of this Agreement or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not
applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the date of this Agreement and that such Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 
  
 (ii) such Issuer shall have received any written notice of the type described in clause (d) below; 
  
 (iii) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of

 (vi) (A) any fees due in connection with a requested
Issuance have not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuer or (C) the Issuer for such Letter of Credit shall not have received, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it
and, if applicable, duly executed by such Borrower, applications, agreements and other documentation (collectively, a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”) such Issuer generally employs in the ordinary course of its business
for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 None of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit. 
  
 (b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (other than the Letter of Credit issued on the date hereof for the benefit of CoBank
ACB) (i) be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) be less than five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term less than or equal to one year
may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods less than or equal to one year, as long as, (x) on or before the expiration of each such term and each such period, the Borrower and the Issuer of such Letter or Credit shall have the option
to prevent such renewal and (y) neither the Issuer nor the Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend the expiration date of any Letter beyond the date set forth in clause (ii) above. 
  
 (c) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower
shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (Form of Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form
as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, face amount of the Letter of
Credit requested, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day) and, in the case of an issuance, the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter
of Credit is to be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of
Credit. 
  
 (d) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in this Section 2.4, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of
Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of
Credit) or clause (a) above (other than those conditions set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(vi)(B) and (C) above and, to the extent such clause relates to fees owing to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit and its
Affiliates, clause (a)(vi)(A) above) are not on such date satisfied or duly waived and ending when such conditions 
  

 40 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 are satisfied or duly waived. No Issuer shall otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit. 
  
 (e) The Borrower agrees that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, it shall execute a Letter of Credit
Reimbursement Agreement in respect to any Letter of Credit Issued hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. 
  
 (f) Each Issuer shall comply with the following: 
  
 (i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or
telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a telecopy, of the Issuance of any Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under any Letter of Credit Issued by it and of the payment (or the failure to pay
when due) by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy to each Revolving Credit Lender); 
  
 (ii) upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Revolving Credit Lender copies of any
Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Revolving Credit Lender; and 
  
 (iii) on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the
Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender requesting the same) and the Borrower separate schedules for Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting
forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case outstanding at the end of such Fiscal Quarter and any information requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent relating thereto. 
  
 (g) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased
and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the
obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto. 
  
 (h) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to
such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the date that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “Reimbursement Date”) (as shall
be notified in writing by such Issuer to the Borrower), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under
any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be

  

 41 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to
the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period
to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such payment in immediately available Dollars. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving
Credit Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business
Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and
notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably
waive), be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the
account of such Issuer any payment from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of such
amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving Credit Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to
reflect the respective amounts the Revolving Credit Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. 
  
 (i) If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause
(h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with
interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Facility. 
  
 (j) The
Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the
following: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; 
  
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan
Document; 
  

 42 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower,
any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or
any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; 
  

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
  
 (v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and 
  
 (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind
of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal
or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 
  
 Any
action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the
Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set
forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to
such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or
invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be
deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer. 
  
 Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of Commitments 
  
 The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the
unused portions of the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders; provided, however, that (a) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no such termination or reduction shall be permitted unless the Borrower shall at the same time pay any Applicable Prepayment Premium which is payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.12(c)
(Fees). All outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 provided, however, that

 Section 2.7 Evidence of Debt 
  
 (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) (i) The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax
purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative
Agent’s, each Lender’s and each Issuer’s interest in each Loan, each Letter of Credit and each Reimbursement Obligation, and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights. In
addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall 
  

 44 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 record (A) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuers, (B) the Commitments of each Lender
from time to time, (C) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto (except with respect to Swing Loans which shall be recorded by the Swing Loan Lender), (D) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable, and paid, by the Borrower to, or for the account of, each Lender hereunder, (E) the amount that is due and payable, and paid, by the Borrower to, or for the account of, each Issuer, including the amount of Letter Credit
Obligations (specifying the amount of any Reimbursement Obligations) due and payable to an Issuer, and (F) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest
(and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s and Issuer’s, as the case may be, share thereof, if applicable. 
  
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) and the Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and the Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or
Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or a registered assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related
Loan, and in no event is any such Revolving Credit Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 2.7(b) and Section 11.2(Assignments and Participations) shall be construed so that the Loans and Reimbursement
Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

  
 (c) The entries made in the Register and in the accounts
therein maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition,
the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or as an Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the
Register with respect to any Lender or Issuer shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that
any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note
or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Term Loans and Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit B-1 (Form of Revolving Credit Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Note),
respectively. 
  
 Section 2.8 Optional Prepayments

  
 (a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may prepay
the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans in whole or in part at any time; provided, 
  

 45 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 however, that (i) each partial prepayment of a Revolving Loan shall be in an aggregate amount not less than
$5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall also pay any amount
owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs). 
  
 (b)
Term Loans. The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, (i) the
Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with notice stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (a) one Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and
(b) three Business Days, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the date of the proposed prepayment; (ii) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period
for such Loan, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs); (iii) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and that any such partial prepayment shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments of such outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans pro rata to such installments; and (iv) no such prepayment shall be permitted unless paid
together with any Applicable Prepayment Premium which is payable pursuant to Section 2.12(c) (Fees). Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of the Term Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on
the date specified for such prepayment. 
  
 (c) The Borrower shall
have no right to prepay the principal amount of any Revolving Loan or any Term Loan other than as provided in this Section 2.8. 
  
 Section 2.9 Mandatory Prepayments 
  
 (a) Upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds arising (i) from an Asset Sale (excluding, unless a Default or Event of
Default has occurred which is continuing on the date of receipt, the Net Cash Proceeds received pursuant to the Cerritos Sale; provided, that such Net Cash Proceeds are used for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), Property Loss Event, New Preferred Rights Offering or Debt Issuance, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans (or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit, if applicable) in an amount equal
to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (except Net Cash Proceeds subject to a Reinvestment Event as provided below) and (ii) from an Equity Issuance (other than a New Preferred Rights Offering or an Equity Issuance to the extent applied to the purchase
consideration for a Permitted Acquisition within 180 days of such Equity Issuance), the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans (or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds;
provided, however, that if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter is (A) less than 5.5 to 1.0, then the foregoing percentage with respect to Equity Issuances shall be reduced to 25% or (B) less than
4.5 to 1.0, then such percentage shall be reduced to 0%. Any such mandatory prepayment shall be applied as provided in clause (c) below; provided, however, that, in the case of any Net Cash Proceeds subject to a Reinvestment
Event, the Borrower shall, pending application of such Net Cash Proceeds, (x) immediately upon receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds deposit an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in a Cash Collateral Account or (y) at the Borrower’s
option, to the extent that there are Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time, prepay the Revolving Loans 
  

 46 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit (but which shall not result in any permanent reduction in
the Revolving Credit Commitments). On any Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the remaining Reinvestment Deferred Amount which has not been reinvested as of such date in accordance with the
applicable Reinvestment Notice, which prepayment shall be applied as provided in clause (c) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Fiscal Year, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales subject to a Reinvestment Event shall not
exceed $1,000,000. 
  
 (b) The Borrower shall prepay the Loans
within 95 days after the last day of each Fiscal Year, in an amount equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year; provided, however, that if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is less than 5.5 to 1.0, then such
percentage shall be reduced to 50% for such Fiscal Year; provided, further that no such prepayment shall be required prior to calendar year 2006. Any such mandatory prepayment shall be applied in accordance with clause (c) below.

  
 (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(g) (Payments
and Computations), any mandatory prepayments made by the Borrower required to be applied in accordance with this clause (c) shall be applied (subject, with respect to mandatory prepayments pursuant to clause (a) above, to
clause (e) below) as follows: first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans, until such Term Loans shall have been prepaid in full; second, to repay the
outstanding principal balance of the Swing Loans until such Swing Loans shall have been repaid in full; third, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full; and
then, to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of such Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Action in respect of Letters of Credit) until all such Letter
of Credit Obligations have been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth therein. All repayments of the Term Loans made pursuant to this clause (c) shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments of such outstanding principal
amounts of the Term Loans pro rata to such installments. 
  
 (d)
If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, the Borrower shall forthwith prepay the Swing Loans first and then the Revolving Loans then outstanding
in an amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans and Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set
forth in Section 9.3 (Action in Respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 105% of such excess. 
  
 (e) In connection with any mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (a) above which is to be made in accordance with clause (c) above, the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent 10 Business Days prior notice of any such mandatory prepayment, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender thereof. Any Term Loan Lender may, at its option, elect not
to accept such prepayment of its Term Loan (any Term Loan Lender making such election being a “Declining Lender”); provided that each Declining Lender shall give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent not later
than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the eighth Business Day preceding the date of the applicable mandatory prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall offer the aggregate amount of the mandatory prepayments declined by the Declining Lenders to the
Term Loan Lenders who are not Declining Lenders (each, a “Non-Declining Lender”) no later than the fifth Business Day preceding the date of the applicable mandatory prepayment each Non-Declining Lender shall be 
  

 47 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 permitted to elect to receive such Non-Declining Lender’s pro rata share of such remaining amount, among those
Non-Declining Lenders who have accepted such payment of such amount, by giving written notice no later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the third Business Day preceding the date of the applicable mandatory prepayment. The aggregate amount of
the mandatory prepayments declined by the Non-Declining Lenders shall be applied in accordance with the mandatory prepayment provisions of the Second Lien Credit Agreement. On such date of prepayment, (i) an amount equal to that portion of the Term
Loans then to be prepaid to the Term Loan Lenders (less the amount thereof that would otherwise be payable to Declining Lenders) shall be paid to the Term Loan Lenders that are not Declining Lenders and (ii) an amount equal to that portion of the
Term Loans that would otherwise be payable to Declining Lenders shall be applied first in prepayment of the Second Lien Term Loans in accordance with the provisions of the Second Lien Credit Agreement (to the extent that the lenders under the
Second Lien Credit Agreement have not declined such prepayment), second to the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Obligations and Swing Loans and the cash collateralization of Letters of Credit, in each case on the basis provided in
Section 2.9(c) above, and third, to the extent there are proceeds remaining, to the Borrower for application for any purpose permitted by this Agreement. In the event that the Administrative Agent has not, with respect to any
prepayment, received a notice from a Term Loan Lender in accordance with this clause (e), such Term Loan Lender shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this clause (e) to decline receipt thereof. The provisions of this
clause (e) shall not apply to mandatory prepayments pursuant to clause (b) above and no Lender shall not have the right to decline such mandatory prepayments. 
  
 Section 2.10 Interest 
  
 (a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations (other than pursuant to Hedging
Contracts that are Loan Documents, to the extent such Hedging Contracts provide for the accrual of interest on unpaid obligations) shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made
and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows: 
  
 (i) if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time and (B) the Applicable Margin; and 
  
 (ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable
Interest Period and (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Eurodollar Interest Period. 
  
 (b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each Fiscal
Quarter, commencing on September 30, 2005 and, thereafter, on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan, (B) in the case of Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans, upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C)
if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan, (ii) interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such
Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in
part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by 
  

 48 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and (iii) interest accrued on the amount of all other
Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 
  
 (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is two
percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other Obligations from time to time. Such interest shall be payable on the date that would otherwise be applicable to such interest pursuant to clause (b)
above or otherwise on demand. 
  
 Section 2.11
Conversion/Continuation Option 
  
 (a) The Borrower may
elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion
thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Loans for each Interest Period must be in
the amount of at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion. Each such election
shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least (x) three Business
Days’ prior written notice in the case of a conversion to, or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans or (y) one Business Day’s prior written notice in the case of a conversion to Base Rate Loans, each such notice specifying, as applicable,
(A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of such conversion.

  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of
Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a
Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans). If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive
a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest
Period, such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans; provided, further that if any Notice of Conversion or Continuation (i) fails to specify whether the applicable Loans shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans or as
Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Loans shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans and (ii) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, fails to indicate the term of the applicable Interest Period, such Interest
Period shall be deemed to be for a one-month period. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

 Section 2.12 Fees 
  
 (a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay on October 1, 2005 and, thereafter, quarterly in arrears (on
the first Business Day of such Fiscal Quarter) to each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender
exceeds such Lender’s Ratable Portion of (i) the average daily excess of the amount then effective Revolving Loan Commitments over the Revolving Credit Outstandings (exclusive of any outstanding Swing Loans) multiplied by (ii) the
Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears (x) on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the Closing Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such Unused
Commitment Fee is payable. 
  
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees.
The Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer: 
  
 (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such
Issuer, an issuance fee equal to 0.25% per annum of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the
issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; 
  
 (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee
accruing in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans on the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each
Fiscal Quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of Default, such fee
shall be increased by two percent per annum (instead of, and not in addition to, any increase pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (Interest)) and shall be payable on demand; and 
  
 (iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each
Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.

  
 (c) Prepayment Premium. In connection with, and as a
condition to, any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.5(a) (Reduction and Termination of Commitments) or any prepayment of all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(b)
(Optional Prepayments), the Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, in addition to any other amounts then due on the date of any such termination, reduction or prepayment, the Applicable
Prepayment Premium calculated with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced or the Term Loans so prepaid as of the date thereof. 
  

 50 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (d) Additional Fees. The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent and the
Arranger additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter. 
  
 Section 2.13 Payments and Computations 
  
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in Dollars
to the Administrative Agent or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter
cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clause (f) or (g) below, as applicable, for the
account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.16 (Taxes) or Section 2.14(c) or (d) (Special
Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the Swing Loan Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after
1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion). 
  
 (b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual
number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable except for interest in connection with Base Rate Loans which shall be calculated on the basis of the actual
number of calendar days in the applicable year. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) Each payment by the Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation
(including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit issued or such cost, expense or other Obligation
was incurred; provided, however, that (i) the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) other than for
payments in respect of a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, Loan Documents duly executed by the Administrative Agent or any Hedging Contract may specify other currencies of payment for Obligations created by or directly related to such Loan Document
or Hedging Contract. 
  
 (d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall
be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees,
as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day. All repayments of (i) any Revolving Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as 
  

 51 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being
repaid prior to those having later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods, and (ii) any Term Loans shall be applied pro rata to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
  
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on
such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and,
thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (f) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative
Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (g) below (or required to be applied in accordance with Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments)), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from
or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of
any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third, as the Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of
Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swing Loan Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with such
Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments; payments in respect of the Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Term Loan Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the
Term Loans; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their
respective Ratable Portions. 
  
 (g) The Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments) and clause (f) above, each Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2
(Remedies) shall, deliver a blockage notice to each Deposit Account Bank for each Approved Deposit Account and apply, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any

 Section 2.14 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans 
  
 (a) Determination of Interest Rate 
  
 The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be
binding on the Borrower. 
  

 53 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair 
  
 In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and
fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any
Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Loan shall
automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended
until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
  
 (c) Increased Costs 
  
 If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall from time to time,
upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to
the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Illegality 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of,
any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office
to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to
continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make
Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower’s right to
request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (e) Breakage Costs 
  
 In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10 (Interest), the Borrower
shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all actual losses, expenses and liabilities (including any actual loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or
maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason (other than solely by reason of such Lender being a
Non-Funding Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a
telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any reason any
Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate
Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for
such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent
manifest error. 
  
 Section 2.15 Capital Adequacy

  
 If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the
adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or
(c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation
controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change,
compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as
specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 2.16 Taxes

2.16, any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender, each Issuer and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, and similar taxes imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision

such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under
any Loan Document to any Lender, any Issuer or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 2.16, such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (y)
the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

  
 (b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or
future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each
case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) Each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender, each
Issuer and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender, such Issuer or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification
shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
  
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its

Loan Party contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: 
  
 (A) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business)
or any successor form; 
  
 (B) Form W-8BEN
(claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form; 
  
 (C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption
from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form; or 
  
 (D) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to
such exemption from U.S. withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents. 
  
 Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan
Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are not subject to U.S. withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by
applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. 
  
 (ii) Each U.S. Lender shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or

the indicators described in Treasury Regulation section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii).

 (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use
its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional
amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.16 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (D) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, (ii) in the case of clause (i)(A) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the
effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of clause
(i)(A),(B) and (C) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may substitute any Lender
and, if reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”) for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) by
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender within a reasonable time (in any case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) above that the Borrower intends to make such
substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower
may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims. 

 
 (b) If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section
2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved
of, the Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (which pursuant to Section 11.5 (Limitations of
Liability), do not include exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and claims hereunder)
shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the later of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings, the Term
Loans, together with any other Obligations owing to it, (ii) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it and the Borrower whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms
hereof and (ii) the payment in full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date. Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the
Substitute Institution shall become a “Lender” hereunder for 
  

 58 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment assumed by
it and such Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender. 
  
 (c) Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its rights
and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment, together with any Note (if such
Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

 Section 9.2 Remedies 
  
 During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (a) may, and, at the request of the Requisite
Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower declare that all or any portion of the Commitments be terminated, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan and each Issuer to Issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate and (b)
may and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all

however, that upon the occurrence of the Events of Default specified in Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), (x) the Commitments of each Lender to make Loans and the commitments of each Lender and Issuer to Issue or participate in
Letters of Credit shall each automatically be terminated and (y) the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. In addition to the remedies set forth above, the Administrative Agent may exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies
provided by applicable law in each case, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  
 Section 9.3 Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit 
  
 At any time (i) upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) after the Revolving Credit Termination Date when the aggregate funds on deposit in Cash
Collateral Accounts shall be less than 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations, (iii) as may be required by Section 2.9(c) or (d) (Mandatory Prepayments), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds at the Administrative Agent’s office referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), for deposit in a Cash Collateral Account, (x) in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the amount required so that, after such

2.9(c) or (d) (Mandatory Prepayments). The Administrative Agent may, from time to time after funds are deposited in any Cash Collateral Account, apply funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in
accordance with Section 2.9(c) or (d) (Mandatory Prepayments) and Section 2.13(g) (Payments and Computations), as shall have become or shall become due and payable by the Borrower to the Issuers or Lenders in respect of the
Letter of Credit Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice of any such application; provided, however, that the failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such application.

 Upon any action by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to commence
the exercise of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby undertakes, and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries to undertake, to cooperate and join with the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in any

Collateral Agent before any Governmental Authority. 
  
 Section 9.5 Rescission 
  
 If at any time
after termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations that shall have become due
otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest
on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), then upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the Borrower, the
termination of the Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; provided, however, that such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy
consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the Issuers to a decision that may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit the
Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

 Section 10.3 Posting of Approved Electronic Communications 
  
 (a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower agree, and the
Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to agree, that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders and Issuers by posting such Approved
Electronic Communications on IntraLinksTM or a
substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 
  
 (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are
secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the
Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower acknowledges
and agrees, and the Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to acknowledge and agree, that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders, the Issuers and
the Borrower hereby approves, and the Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to approve, distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes, and the Borrower shall cause each
Guarantor to understand and assume, the risks of such distribution. 
  
 (c) The Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective
Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications and the
Approved Electronic Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform. No Warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory (including any
warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects) is made by the agent affiliates in connection with the approved electronic communications or the
approved electronic platform. 
  
 (d) Each of the Lenders, the
Issuers and the Borrower agree, and the Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to agree, that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved
Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

 Section 10.4 The Agents Individually 
  
 With respect to its Ratable Portion, each Agent that is a Lender shall have
and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Revolving Credit
Lenders”, “Term Loan Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, a Revolving Credit
Lender, Term Loan Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. Each Agent and each of its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, any Loan Party as if such Agent
were not acting as an Agent. 
  
 Section 10.5 Lender Credit
Decision 
  
 Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges
that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and each other Loan Party in connection with the making and
continuance of the Loans and with the issuance of the Letters of Credit. Each Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and 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 and other Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 10.6 Indemnification 
  
 Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and, in each case, each of its Affiliates,
and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, 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 Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s or such Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Loan Party.

 Section 10.7 Successor Agents 
  
 The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. If no successor Administrative Agent
or Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, selected from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent or as Collateral Agent by a
successor Collateral Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the applicable retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the
successor Agent its rights as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, any retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no Person has accepted the appointment as successor Collateral Agent, as provided above, the
Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of, the applicable retiring Collateral Agent effective upon its resignation until a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed in
accordance with the terms hereof. If no Person has accepted the appointment as successor Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent has not succeeded a retiring Collateral Agent, in each case, as provided above, the Requisite Lenders shall
succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of, the applicable retiring Agent effective upon its resignation. 
  
 Section 10.8 Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents 
  
 (a) Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the
Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of
the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and, in each case, subject to Section 10.7 (Successor Agents), (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority
to act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuers with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Collateral Documents, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive
right and authority to (A) execute and deliver each Collateral Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) act as collateral agent for the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured
Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, provided, however, that the Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each
Lender and Issuer to act as collateral sub-agent for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for 
  

 106 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any Deposit
Accounts maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender or such Issuer, (C) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral and (D) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the
perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents and (iii) the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall have the
exclusive right and authority to (except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document) exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties
with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise. 
  
 (b) Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby consents to the release and hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, release or subordinate) any Lien held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the issuers against any of the following:

  
 (i) all of the Collateral and all Loan
Parties, upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable (and, in
respect of contingent Letter of Credit Obligations, with respect to which cash collateral has been deposited or a back-up letter of credit has been issued, in either case in the appropriate currency and on terms satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Issuers); 
  
 (ii) any
assets that are subject to a Lien permitted by Section 8.2(d) or (e) (Liens, Etc.); and 
  
 (iii) any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by a Loan Party if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or
permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement). 
  
 Each of the Administrative Agent, Lenders and the Issuers hereby directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to
release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 10.8 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release. 
  
 Section 10.9 Actions by the Collateral Agent 
  
 The Collateral Agent shall take, or refrain from taking, any action as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take, or refrain from taking, any action (a) to the extent the Collateral Agent has received a written advice from its counsel that such action
is in conflict with any applicable law, Collateral Document or order of any Governmental Authority or (b) with respect to which the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable judgment, has not received adequate security or indemnity hereunder or under the
Collateral Documents. Nothing in this Section 10.9 shall impair the right of the Collateral Agent in its discretion to take or omit to take any action which is deemed proper by the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents and which it
believes in good faith is not inconsistent with any direction of the Administrative Agent delivered pursuant to this Section 10.9; provided, however, 
  

 107 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any discretionary action under the provisions of this
Agreement or any other Collateral Document unless so directed by the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be obliged to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement or any Collateral Document, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Collateral Document against the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of any written direction pursuant to this Section 10.9, exercise the rights and
powers vested in it by any Collateral Document with respect to such direction, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted in accordance with such direction. If the Collateral Agent shall seek directions
from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders with respect to any action under any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take, or refrain from taking, such action until it shall
have received such direction. The Collateral Agent shall not agree to amend or modify the Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the Requisite Lenders. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and
physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents are solely
to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral (for itself and for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The
Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers at the direction of the Administrative Agent, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees
or agents shall be responsible to any Secured Party or any Loan Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 Section 10.10 Collateral Matters Relating to Related Obligations 
  
 The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement
relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Secured Obligation arising under any Hedging Contract that is a Loan Document or that is otherwise owed to Persons other than the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers (collectively, “Related Obligations”) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and all Secured Parties, that (a) the Related Obligations
shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Collateral Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with
respect to, the Guaranty and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related Obligations, but the Collateral Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of
loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Guaranty, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection,
priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any
separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related Obligation, (c) each Secured Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Requisite Lenders, each of whom shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own Commitments and its own interest in the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and
other Obligations to it arising under this 
  

 108 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Related
Obligation and without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, (d) no holder of Related Obligations and no
other Secured Party (except the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action
taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents and (e) no holder of any Related Obligation shall exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien or similar right except to the extent provided in
Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off) and then only to the extent such right is exercised in compliance with Section 11.7 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.).

Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit), subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 (Determinations of Initial Borrowing Conditions); 
  
 (ii) increase the Commitment of such Lender or subject such Lender to any additional obligation;
provided, however, that any such increase with respect to (A) the Term Loan Commitment shall require the consent of the Requisite Term Loan Lenders or (B) the Revolving Credit Commitment shall require the consent of the Requisite
Revolving Credit Lenders; 
  
 (iii) extend the
scheduled final maturity of any Loan owing to such Lender, or waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled date fixed for the payment or reduction of principal or interest of any such Loan or fees owing to such Lender (it being understood that Section

 110 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of
any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the
Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
  
 (c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of any Lender whose consent is required is
not obtained when due (each such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, as long as the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request (and sole cost and expense), an
Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting
Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all or any portion of the Revolving Credit
Commitments and Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender and all or any portion of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Term
Loan Lender, in each case, for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, held by the Non-Consenting Lender, all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of
sale plus an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Premium calculated with respect to the principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Outstandings and/or Term Loans so purchased as of the date of such purchase;
provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Revolving
Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities with respect thereto through the date of the sale. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting
Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment an Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes)
subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and,
such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations 
  
 (a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, the Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit); provided,
however, that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Outstandings and Revolving 
  

 111 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 Credit Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the
date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the assigning Lender’s entire interest) be less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (treating multiple,
simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds which are Affiliates or share the same (or affiliated) manager or advisor as a single assignment for purposes of this clause (a)), except, in either case, (A) with the consent of
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender, (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or
Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an assignment with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, of the Issuer (which consents shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if such assignment causes any Person (other than CSFB or an Affiliate of CSFB), together with any Affiliates of such Person, to hold in excess of 50% of the principal amount of the Obligations, or
such assignment is to a Person holding in excess of 50% of the principal amount of the Obligations, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Any
such assignment need not be ratable as among the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility and if any such assignment shall be by a Revolving Credit Lender, Issuer or Swing Loan Lender, such assignment shall require the prior consent of
the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) The parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such
assignment (such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby) and any administrative questionnaire, tax forms or other documents required by the Administrative Agent.
Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee the Lender or Eligible Assignee shall pay to the Administrative Agent a registration and processing fee of $3,500 for each assignment (except
that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable in the case of (i) an Assignment and Acceptance which is electronically executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent via an electronic settlement system (which system shall
initially be ClearPar LLC) or (ii) an Eligible Assignee which is already a Lender or is an Affiliate of such Lender in respect of any assignment made pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders) and Section 11.1(c) (Amendments,
Waivers, Etc.)). Commencing on the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been
assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and if such Lender were an Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder, (ii) the Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans
assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notation in the Register and (iii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment
and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such
assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices,
Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and Issuers and the principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to each
Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender. Any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. For so long as the Term Loans are outstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Borrower a report following the end of each calendar month summarizing all assignments made and recorded in the Register during such month pursuant to this Section 11.2. 
  
 (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained therein in the
Register. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal
to the Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to
the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 (Form of
Revolving Credit Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Note), as applicable. 
  
 (e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Revolving Credit Lender may do each of the following: 
  
 (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would
otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to
make such Loans thereunder; provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable
for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender’s obligations under
the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder;
and 
  
 (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise,
any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, any Federal
Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (1) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Securities
and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Revolving Credit Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above; 
  

 113 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Revolving Credit Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of
this Section 11.2 other than this clause (e) or clause (f) below. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or
other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (e) any
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations). The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such
Lender’s ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Borrower from any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this clause (e) or postpone any scheduled
date of payment of such principal or interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it were such Lender;
provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower shall, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to any such
Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender any payment in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender
hereunder; and provided, further, that such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders. 
  
 (f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require
the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or
rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or
postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of
all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.8(b) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents). In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations
under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this
Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it 
  

 114 

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall
not, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) any payment in excess
of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold; provided, further, that such participant in the rights and obligations of such Lender shall
have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders. 
  
 (g) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(b) (Evidence of Debt) relating to notations of transfer in the Register. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any
assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer
shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date. 
  
 (h) The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 11.2 concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments
and that such provisions do not prohibit pledges or assignments creating security interests in the Loans or Notes, including any such pledge or assignment by any Lender to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses 
  
 (a) The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent for, all of its respective reasonable internal and external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of every type and nature (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s counsel, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants,

“work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the
Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or Second Lien Loan Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with
respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

Affiliate of the Borrower, any such Indemnitee or any of its directors, security holders or creditors or any such Indemnitee, director, security holder or creditor is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on
any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit, any Disclosure Document, any Second Lien Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of
Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section
11.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter that has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or

 Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and
Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or
injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental

mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those
matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of
such Agent, such Lender or such Issuer. 
  
 (b) The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer for, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and each issuer harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions,

to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense. No action taken
by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrower’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold
harmless such Indemnitee.

indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit
of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
  
 Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability

 KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 hereby and in the other Loan Documents and Second Lien Loan Documents, except to the extent such liability is
determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of
liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue
upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
  
 (b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, LENDER, ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR ANY USE OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT AFFILIATE IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE

and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender
under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have. 
  
 Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

 the Lenders, such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders
(each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them. 
  
 (b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is
thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal
to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount
paid or payable by the Purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. 
  
 (c) The Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of

 REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 
  
 Section 5.1 Code and Other Remedies 
  
 During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which
demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, and may 
  

 16 

 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral
(or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem
advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by the
UCC and other applicable law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each
Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or
elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or
safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of
the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Credit Agreement shall prescribe, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account for
the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any
rights hereunder, except where such claims, damages or demands have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable judgment or order. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

  
 Section 5.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General
Intangibles 
  
 (a) In addition to, and not in
substitution for, any similar requirement in the Credit Agreement, if required by the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of Accounts or payment in respect of General Intangibles, when collected by
any Grantor, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within five Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, in an Approved Deposit Account or a Cash Collateral Account,
subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.4 (Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent). Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from
other funds of such Grantor. At the Collateral Agent’s written request, each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and
source of the payments included in the deposit. 
  
 (b) At the
Collateral Agent’s request, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the
Accounts or payments in respect of General Intangibles, including all orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

 (d) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, after giving notice to
the relevant Grantor or Grantors, communicate with Account Debtors to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Account or amounts due under any General Intangible. 
  
 (e) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify Account Debtors that the Accounts or General Intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the
Collateral Agent. In addition, the Collateral Agent may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default enforce such Grantor’s rights against such Account Debtors and obligors of General Intangibles. 
  
 (f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall
remain liable under each of the Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving
rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible by reason of or arising out of this Agreement
or the receipt by the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to
any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any
party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. 
  
 Section 5.3 Pledged Collateral 
  
 (a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the
Collateral Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement and

of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at
its discretion any of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and
deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually
received by it; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an
Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations. 
  
 (c) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any
instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions
from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the
Collateral Agent. 
  
 Section 5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over
To Collateral Agent 
  
 Unless otherwise expressly
provided in the Credit Agreement, all Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Cash
Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

  
 Section 5.5 Registration Rights 
  
 (a) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell
any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 5.1 (Code and Other Remedies), and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof, to be registered under the
provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause
the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public 
  

 19 

 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 offering of the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold and (iii) make all amendments thereto or to
the related prospectus that, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable
thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction that the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as
practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. 
  
 (b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted
group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such
private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state
securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. 
  
 (c)
Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in
compliance with all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, that the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor,
and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement. 
  
 Section 5.6 Deficiency 
  
 Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency. 
  
 Section 5.7 Approvals 
  
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall take
any action which the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to transfer and assign to the Collateral Agent, or such one or more third parties as the Collateral Agent may designate, or to a combination of the foregoing, each Communications
License, CATV Franchise or PUC Authorization or other approval from a Governmental Authority and the Collateral Agent is empowered to request the appointment of a receiver from any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce such obligations. Such
receiver shall be instructed to seek from the Governmental 
  

 20 

 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 Authority an involuntary transfer of control of each such Communications License, CATV Franchise or PUC Authorization
or other approval for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser to whom control will ultimately be transferred. Each Grantor hereby agrees to authorize such an involuntary assignment or transfer of control upon the request of the receiver so
appointed and, if such Grantor shall refuse to authorize the transfer, its approval may be required by the court. Furthermore, each Grantor shall use its best efforts to assist in obtaining approval of any Governmental Authority, if required, for
any action or transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the preparation, execution and filing with any Governmental Authority of the assignor’s or transferor’s portion of any application or applications for
consent to the assignment of any Communications License, CATV Franchise or PUC Authorization or other approval or transfer of control necessary or appropriate under the rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority for the approval of the
transfer or assignment of any portion of the assets of such Grantor, together with any Communications License, CATV Franchise or PUC Authorization or other approval. Because each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent’s remedy at law for
failure of such Grantor to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.7 would by inadequate and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, each Grantor agrees that these covenants and agreements may be specifically
enforced, and each Grantor hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent understand and agree that the
assignment or transfer of control of some of the Communications Licenses requires advance approval by the FCC. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 THE COLLATERAL AGENT 
  
 Section 6.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact 
  
 (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any
appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the
power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the following: 
  
 (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any check, draft, note,
acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any such moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; 
  
 (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any agreement,
instrument, document or paper as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented
thereby; 
  

 21

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repair or pay any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement (including all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof); 
  
 (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.1 (Code and Other Remedies) or 5.5
(Registration Rights), any endorsement, assignment or other instrument of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; or 
  
 (v) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any moneys due or to become due thereunder

prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect any Collateral and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such
Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate, (G) assign any Copyright,
Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains) throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine,
including the execution and filing of any document necessary to effectuate or record such assignment and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Collateral as fully and completely as
though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor
might do. 
  
 Anything in this clause (a) to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any right under the power of attorney provided for in this clause (a) unless an Event of Default shall be continuing. 
  
 (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent,
at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. 
  
 (c) The reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with
interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest provided in Sections 2.10(a)(i) and (c) (Rate of Interest) of the Credit Agreement, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand. 
  

 22 

 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 
  
 Section 6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent 
  
 The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party nor
any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the
Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for
amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except
for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 Section 6.3 Authorization of Financing Statements 
  
 Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and
other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may described the Collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the debtor”, “all personal property of the debtor” or words of similar effect. Each Grantor hereby also
authorizes the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of
this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 6.4 Authority of Collateral Agent 
  
 Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the
Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be
conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry
respecting such authority.

 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

Section 7.1 Amendments in Writing 
  
 None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 11.1
(Amendments, Waivers, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and

 Section 7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies 
  
 Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1 (Amendments in Writing), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to
have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future
occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 
  
 Section 7.4 Successors and Assigns 
  
 This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the

of the Collateral Agent.

 24 

 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart
by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. 
  
 Section 7.6 Severability 
  
 Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  

Section 7.7 Section Headings 
  
 The Article and Section titles contained in this Agreement are, and shall be, without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not
part of the agreement of the parties hereto.

Entire Agreement 
  
 This Agreement together with the
other Loan Documents represents the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware.

 (a) At the time provided in Sections 10.8(b)(i)
and (iii) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents) of the Credit Agreement and to the extent required under such provisions, Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby and this Agreement and all
obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder with respect to such Collateral shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any
party, and all rights to such Collateral (if any) shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any such Collateral of such Grantor
held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 
  

 25 

 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (b) If the Collateral Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to Section 10.8(b)(ii) or
(iii) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents) of the Credit Agreement to release any Lien created hereby upon any Collateral (including any Collateral sold or disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by
the Credit Agreement), such Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 10.8(b)(ii) or (iii) (Concerning the Collateral and
the Collateral Documents) of the Credit Agreement. In connection therewith, the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, shall execute and deliver to the Borrower all releases or other documents, including, without
limitation, UCC termination statements, reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Lien created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in
the event that all the capital stock of such Grantor shall be so sold or disposed; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release,
a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower
in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 7.12 Reinstatement 
  
 Each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Loan Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at
any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Loan
Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing
such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by
virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other
Collateral securing the obligations of any Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment. 
  
 Section 7.13 Acknowledgement 
  
 The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 [Financial Institution] 
 [Address] 
  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 Reference is made to account no.
[                    ] maintained with you (the “Bank”) by [Knology, Inc., a Delaware corporation] (the
“Company”), [as borrower] [as guarantor] into which funds are deposited from time to time (the “Account”). The Company has entered into (i) a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2005 (as the same may
be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement”), among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates party thereto and Credit Suisse acting
through one or more of its branches (“CSFB”), as agent for the Secured Parties referred to therein (in such capacity the “First Lien Collateral Agent”), and (ii) a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of June 29,
2005 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement” and, together with the First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement, the “Pledge
and Security Agreements”), among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates party thereto and CSFB, as agent for the Secured Parties referred to therein (in such capacity the “Second Lien Collateral Agent”).

  
 Pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreements and related
documents, the Company has granted to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement), and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties
(as defined in the Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement), a security interest in certain property of the Company, including, among other things, accounts, inventory, equipment, instruments, general intangibles and all proceeds thereof (the
“Collateral”). Payments with respect to the Collateral are or hereafter may be made to the Account. You, the Company and each Agent are entering into this letter agreement to perfect the security interest of each Agent in the
Account. 
  
 The Company hereby transfers to the First Lien
Collateral Agent (or, after you have received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement”)
from the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent), exclusive control of the Account and all funds and other property on deposit therein. By your execution of this letter agreement, you (i) agree that you shall comply with
instructions originated by the First Lien Collateral Agent (or, after you have received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement from the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent) directing disposition
of the funds in the Account without further consent of the Company and (ii) acknowledge and agree that the First Lien Collateral Agent (or, after you have received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement from the First
Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent) now has exclusive control of the Account, that all funds and other property on deposit in the Account shall be transferred to the First Lien Collateral 
  

 A1-1 

 Agent (or, after you have received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement from the First
Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent) as provided herein, that the Account is being maintained by you for the benefit of each Agent and that all amounts and other property therein are held by you as custodian for each Agent.

  
 Except as provided in clause (f) below, the Account
shall not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim, defense, recoupment or any other right in favor of any person or entity other than the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent. By your execution
of this letter agreement you also acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, you have received no notice of any other pledge or assignment of the Account and have not executed any agreements with third parties covering the disposition of funds in the
Account. You agree with each Agent as follows: 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary or any other agreement relating to the Account, the Account is and shall be maintained for the benefit of each Agent, shall be entitled “CSFB—Knology, Inc. Account” (or,
after you have received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement from the First Lien Collateral Agent, such other title as the Second Lien Collateral Agent may from time to time designate in writing) and shall be subject
to written instructions only from an authorized officer of the First Lien Collateral Agent (or, after you have received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement from the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien
Collateral Agent). 
  
 (b) A post office box (the
“Lockbox”) has been rented in the name of the Company at the [                    ] post office and the address to be used
for such Lockbox is: 
  
 [Insert address]

  
 Your authorized representatives shall have access to the
Lockbox under the authority given by the Company to the post office and shall make regular pick-ups from the Lockbox timed to gain maximum benefit of early presentation and availability of funds. You shall endorse process all checks received in the
Lockbox and deposit such checks (to the extent eligible) in the Account in accordance with the procedures set forth below. 
  
 (i) You shall follow your usual operating procedures for the handling of any [checks received from the Lockbox or other] remittance
received in the Account that contains restrictive endorsements, irregularities (such as a variance between the written and numerical amounts), undated or postdated items, missing signatures, incorrect payees and the like. 
  
 (ii) You shall endorse and process all eligible checks and
other remittance items not covered by clause (iii) below and deposit such checks and remittance items in the Account. 
  
 (iii) You shall mail all checks returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds under appropriate advice to the Company (with
a copy of the notification of return to each Agent). You may charge the Account for the amounts of any returned check that has been previously credited to the Account. To the extent insufficient funds remain in the Account to cover any such returned

  

 A1-2 

 check, the Company shall indemnify you for the uncollected amount of such returned check upon your
demand. [If the proceeds of any returned check have been transferred to each Agent pursuant to the terms hereof and the Company has not reimbursed you for such returned check, each Agent shall reimburse you for the amount of such returned check;
provided, however, that no such reimbursement shall be required unless and until you have delivered a copy of such returned check to each Agent together with evidence that the proceeds of such check were so forwarded to each Agent.

  
 (c) You shall maintain a record of all checks
and other remittance items received in the Account and, in addition to providing the Company with photostatic copies thereof, vouchers, enclosures and the like of such checks and remittance items on a daily basis, furnish to each Agent a monthly
statement of the Account to the address set forth on the signature page hereto, or such other address as such Agent may from time to time designate in writing. Prior to the delivery to you of a written notice from the First Lien Collateral Agent in
the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Blockage Notice”), you are authorized to transfer to the Company, in same day funds, on each business day, the entire balance in the Account to the following account:

AGREEMENT 
  
 FORM
OF SECURITIES ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT 
  
 [Name and Address of Approved Securities Intermediary] 
  
                     
    , 20     
  
 Ladies and
Gentlemen: 
  
 The undersigned
                             (the “Pledgor”) together with certain of its affiliates
are party to (i) a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of June     , 2005 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien Pledge and Security
Agreement”), among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates party thereto and Credit Suisse acting through one or more of its branches (“CSFB”), as agent for the Secured Parties referred to therein (in
such capacity the “First Lien Collateral Agent”), and (ii) a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of June     , 2005 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time
to time, the “Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement” and, together with the First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement, the “Pledge and Security Agreements”), among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and/or
affiliates party thereto and CSFB, as agent for the Secured Parties referred to therein (in such capacity the “Second Lien Collateral Agent”) pursuant to which a security interest is granted by the Pledgor in all present and future
Assets (hereinafter defined) in Account No.              of the Pledgor (the “Pledge”). 
  
 In connection therewith, the Pledgor hereby instructs you (the “Approved Securities Intermediary”) to do
all of the following: 
  

	 	1.	maintain the Account, as “Knology, Inc.—CSFB, Control Account” (or, after the Approved Securities Intermediary has received a Notice of Termination of First Lien
Pledge and Security Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement”) from the First Lien Collateral Agent, such other title as the Second Lien Collateral
Agent may from time to time designate in writing); 

  

	 	2.	hold in the Account the assets, including, without limitation, all financial assets, securities, security entitlements and all other property and rights now or hereafter received in
such Account (collectively the “Assets”), including, without limitation, those assets listed on Schedule A (List of Assets) attached hereto and made a part hereof; 

  

	 	3.	provide to each Agent, with a duplicate copy to the Pledgor, a monthly statement of Assets and a confirmation statement of each transaction effected in the Account after such
transaction is effected; and 

  

 A2-1 

	 	4.	honor only the instructions or entitlement orders (within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC (as defined below) (the “Entitlement Orders”) in regard to or in
connection with the Account given by the First Lien Collateral Agent (or, after the Approved Securities Intermediary has received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement from the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second
Lien Collateral Agent), except as provided in the following sentence. Until such time as the First Lien Collateral Agent (or, after the Approved Securities Intermediary has received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement
from the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent) gives a written notice in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Notice of Control”) to the Approved Securities Intermediary that the Pledgor’s rights under this
sentence have been terminated (on which notice the Approved Securities Intermediary may rely exclusively), the Pledgor may (a) exercise any voting right that it may have with respect to any Asset, (b) give Entitlement Orders and otherwise give
instructions to enter into purchase or sale transactions in the Account and (c) withdraw and receive for its own use all regularly scheduled interest and dividends paid with respect to the Assets and all cash proceeds of any sale of Assets
(“Permitted Withdrawals”); provided, however, that, unless the First Lien Collateral Agent (or, after the Approved Securities Intermediary has received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security
Agreement from the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent) has consented to the specific transaction, the Pledgor shall not instruct the Approved Securities Intermediary to deliver and, except as may be required by law or by
court order, the Approved Securities Intermediary shall not deliver, cash, securities, or proceeds from the sale of, or distributions on, such securities out of the Account to the Pledgor or to any other person or entity other than Permitted
Withdrawals. 

  
 By its signature below, the
Approved Securities Intermediary agrees to comply with the Entitlement Orders and instructions of the First Lien Collateral Agent (or, after the Approved Securities Intermediary has received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security
Agreement from the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent) (including, without limitation, any instruction with respect to sales, trades, transfers and withdrawals of cash or other of the Assets) without the further consent of
the Pledgor or any other person (it being understood and agreed by the Pledgor that the Approved Securities Intermediary shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever to have knowledge of the terms of either Security Agreement or to determine whether
or not an event of default exists thereunder). The Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Approved Securities Intermediary, its affiliates, officers and employees from and against all claims, causes of action, liabilities,
lawsuits, demands and damages, including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, that may result by reason of the Approved Securities Intermediary complying with such instructions of any Agent. 
  
 The First Lien Collateral Agent (or, after the Approved Securities
Intermediary has received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement from the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent) shall confirm oral instructions hereunder in writing to the Approved Securities
Intermediary within five days after such oral instructions are given. 
  

 A2-2 

 Except with respect to the obligations and duties as set forth herein, this letter agreement shall not
impose or create any obligation or duty upon the Approved Securities Intermediary greater than or in addition to the customary and usual obligations and duties of the Approved Securities Intermediary to the Pledgor. 
  
 As long as the Assets are pledged to each Agent, (i) the Approved Securities
Intermediary shall not invade the Assets to cover margin debits or calls in any other account of the Pledgor and (ii) the Approved Securities Intermediary agrees that, except for liens resulting from customary commissions, fees, or charges based
upon transactions in the Account, it subordinates in favor of each Agent any security interest, lien or right of setoff the Approved Securities Intermediary may have. The Approved Securities Intermediary acknowledges that it has not received notice
of any other security interest in the Account or the Assets. In the event any such notice is received, the Approved Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify each Agent. The Pledgor represents that the Assets are free and clear of any lien or
encumbrance other than the liens created pursuant to each Security Agreement and agrees that no other lien or encumbrance shall be placed by it on the Assets without the express written consent of each Agent and the Approved Securities Intermediary.

  
 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and it and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, and the law of the Approved Securities
Intermediary’s jurisdiction for the purposes of Section 8-110 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Delaware (the “UCC”) shall be, the law of the State of Delaware. 
  
 The Approved Securities Intermediary shall treat all property at any time
held by the Approved Securities Intermediary in the Account as Financial Assets within the meaning of the UCC. The Approved Securities Intermediary acknowledges that this letter agreement constitutes written notification to the Approved Securities
Intermediary, pursuant to the UCC and any applicable federal regulations for the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, of each Agent’s security interest in the Assets. The Pledgor, each Agent and the Approved Securities Intermediary are entering
into this letter agreement to provide for the First Lien Collateral Agent’s and the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s control of the Assets and to confirm the priority of each Agent’s security interest in the Assets. 
  
 If any term or provision of this letter agreement is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable, the remainder of this letter agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid or unenforceable term or provision were omitted. This Agreement may not be altered or amended in any manner without the express written
consent of the Pledgor, each Agent and the Approved Securities Intermediary. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one original agreement. 
  
 The Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold you, your directors,
officers, agents and employees harmless against all claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and damages, including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorney fees, in each case in any way related to or arising out
of or in connection with this letter agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto, except to the extent caused by your gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  

 A2-3 

 This Agreement may be terminated by the Approved Securities Intermediary upon 30 day’s prior written
notice to the Pledgor and each Agent. Upon such termination, the Approved Securities Intermediary shall be under no further obligation except to hold the Assets in accordance with the terms of this letter agreement, pending receipt of written
instructions from the First Lien Collateral Agent (or, after the Approved Securities Intermediary has received a Notice of Termination of First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement from the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral
Agent) regarding the further disposition of the Assets. Each Agent may terminate this letter agreement with respect to such Agent upon 10 days’ prior written notice to you and the Pledgor. 
  
 The Pledgor acknowledges that this letter agreement supplements any existing
agreement of the Pledgor with the Approved Securities Intermediary and, except as expressly provided herein, is in no way intended to abridge any right that the Approved Securities Intermediary might otherwise have. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as between the First Lien
Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the lien and security interest granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent in the Assets and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder shall be subject to
the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this letter agreement with respect to the Assets, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
