forth herein, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment agrees to make Revolving

the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

                 (B) A Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
                     ------------
each Lender having an A Term Commitment severally agrees to make an A Term Loan

the case may be. Upon execution and delivery of such Additional Term Loan
Supplement by the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of each such Lender,

               plus an integral multiple of $25,000,000;

               Administrative Agent and the Borrower all forms, if any, that are
               required to be delivered by such other Person pursuant to Section

other Lender, the "Additional Term Loans") to the Borrower on the Additional
                   ---------------------
Term Loan Borrowing Date referred to therein in a principal amount equal to such
Lender's Additional Term Loan Commitment reflected in such Additional Term Loan
Supplement. On and as of the date hereof no Lender has an Additional Term Loan

     Section 2.2    Loans and Borrowings
                    --------------------

          (a)  Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing
consisting of Revolving Loans made by the applicable Lenders ratably in
accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, and each A Term Loan, B
Term Loan and Additional Term Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing
consisting of A Term Loans, B Term Loans or Additional Term Loans, as
applicable, made by the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective A
Term Commitments, B Term Commitments or related Additional Term Loan
Commitments, as applicable. The failure of any applicable Lender to make any
Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligations hereunder, provided that the Revolving Commitments, A Term
                       --------
Commitments, B Term Commitments and Additional Term Loan Commitments of the
applicable Lenders are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any other
Lender's failure to make Loans as required.

          (b)  Subject to Section 3.4, each Borrowing shall be comprised
entirely of (i) Revolving Loans, A Term Loans, B Term Loans or Additional Term
Loans, as applicable, and (ii) ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as applicable, in
each case as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each applicable
Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or
foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that any
                                                              --------
exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

          (c)  At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR
Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $3,000,000, provided that an ABR
                                                            --------
Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire
unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments or in an aggregate amount that
is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated
by Section 2.9(e) or the entire aggregate outstanding principal amount of the A
Term Loans, the B Term Loans or Additional Term Loans, as applicable. Borrowings
of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there
                                                           --------
shall not at any time be more than a total of 20 Eurodollar Borrowings
outstanding.

          (d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue,
any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end
after (i) the Revolving Maturity Date, in the case of Revolving Loans, (ii) the
A Term Maturity Date, in the case of A Term Loans, (iii) the B Term Maturity
Date, in the case of B Term Loans or (iv) the applicable Additional Term Loan
Maturity Date, in the case of Additional Term Loans.

     Section 2.3    Requests for Borrowings
                    -----------------------

          (a)  To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than

                                      28
<PAGE>

11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the
proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00
a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed
Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall
be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent
of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent
signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

               (i)   the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

               (ii)  the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

               (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Revolving Borrowing, an A
       Term Borrowing, a B Term Borrowing or an Additional Term Loan Borrowing;

               (iv)  whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
       Eurodollar Borrowing;

               (v)   in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest
       Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by
       the definition of the term "Interest Period";

               (vi)  the location and number of the Borrower's account to which
       funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of
       Section 2.4; and

               (vii) a calculation of the Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis
       immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing.

          (b)  If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the
requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is
specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower
shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.
Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the
details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part of
the requested Borrowing.

     Section 2.4    Funding of Borrowings
                    ---------------------

          (a)  Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on
the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by
1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most
recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Subject to
Section 5.2, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
Borrower by promptly crediting or otherwise transferring the amounts so
received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request, provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of
         --------
an LC

                                      29
<PAGE>

Disbursement as provided in Section 2.9(e) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

          (b)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section or
paragraph (e) of Section 2.9 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has
not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in
the case of the Borrower, the interest rate that would be otherwise applicable
to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent,
then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.

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

          (c)  The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time
reduce, the Revolving Commitments, provided that (i) the Borrower shall not
                                   --------
terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.7, the

Commitments, and (ii) each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.

          (d)  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (c) of
this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date

termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state
that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied. Each reduction, and any termination, of the
Revolving Commitments shall be permanent, and each such reduction shall be made

Revolving Commitments.

          (e)  In addition to any termination or reduction of the Revolving
Commitments under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, the Revolving

request any one or more of the Lenders to increase its Revolving Commitment (the
decision to increase the Revolving Commitment of a Lender to be within the sole
and absolute discretion of such Lender), or any other Person reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank to provide a new
Revolving Commitment, by submitting a Revolving Increase Supplement duly
executed by the Borrower and each such Lender or other Person, as the case may
be. If such Revolving Increase Supplement is in all respects reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall execute
such Revolving Increase Supplement and deliver a copy thereof to the Borrower
and each such Lender or other Person, as the case may be. Upon execution and
delivery of such Revolving Increase Supplement by the Administrative Agent, (i)
in the case of each such Lender, such Lender's Revolving Commitment shall be
increased to the amount set forth in such Revolving Increase Supplement, (ii) in
the case of each such other Person, such other Person shall thereupon become a
party hereto and shall for all purposes of the Loan Documents be deemed a
"Lender" having a Revolving Commitment as set forth in such Revolving Increase
Supplement, and (iii) in each case, the Revolving Commitment of such Lender or
such other Person, as the case may be, shall be as set forth in the applicable
Revolving Increase Supplement; provided, however, that:

               (A)  immediately after giving effect thereto, the sum of all
          increases in the aggregate Revolving Commitments plus the aggregate
          amount of all Additional Term Loan Commitments made, if any, shall not
          exceed $500,000,000;

               (B)  each such increase shall be in an amount not less than
          $50,000,000 or such amount plus an integral multiple of $25,000,000;

               (C)  the Revolving Commitments shall not be increased on more
          than two occasions;

               (D)  if Revolving Loans would be outstanding immediately after
          giving effect to each such increase, then simultaneously with such
          increase (1) each such Lender, each such other Person and each other
          Lender shall be deemed to have entered into a master assignment and
          acceptance agreement, in

                                      32
<PAGE>

          form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit A, pursuant to
          which each such other Lender shall have assigned to each such Lender
          and each such other Person a portion of its Revolving Loans necessary
          to reflect proportionately the Revolving Commitments as adjusted in
          accordance with this subsection (f), and (2) in connection with such
          assignment, each such Lender and each such other Person shall pay to
          the Administrative Agent, for the account of the other Lenders, such
          amount as shall be necessary to appropriately reflect the assignment
          to it of Revolving Loans, and in connection with such master
          assignment each such other Lender may treat the assignment of
          Eurodollar Borrowings as a prepayment of such Eurodollar Borrowings
          for purposes of Section 3.6;

               (E)  each such other Person shall have delivered to the
          Administrative Agent and the Borrower all forms, if any, that are
          required to be delivered by such other Person pursuant to Section 3.7;
          and

               (F)  the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative
          Agent and each Lender a certificate of a Financial Officer
          demonstrating pro-forma compliance with the terms of this Credit
          Agreement through the Revolving Maturity Date and the Administrative
          Agent shall have received such certificates, legal opinions and other
          items as it shall reasonably request in connection with such increase.

        ===================================================

          (d)  The unpaid principal amount of each Additional Term Loan shall be
payable in such amounts and on such dates, if any, as shall be set forth in the
applicable Effective Additional Term Loan Supplement, provided that in no event
                                                      --------
shall (A) the first such payment occur before March 31, 2004, or (B) any series
of Additional Term Loans have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than
the A Term Loans.

     Section 2.7    Prepayment of Loans
                    -------------------

          (a)  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of
this Section. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.7(b), each prepayment of
a Borrowing shall be applied, at

                                      35
<PAGE>

the Borrower's discretion, to the A Term Loans, the B Term Loans, the Additional
Term Loans and/or the Revolving Loans. Subject to Section 2.7(b), each
prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments
payable thereon in the order of maturity.

          (b)  In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are
received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any
Prepayment Event, then, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received, the
Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans pro rata (and, if the Term Loans shall be
fully repaid, the Revolving Commitments shall be automatically reduced) in an
amount equal to such Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Lenders having outstanding B Term Loans or, to the extent provided
in an Additional Term Loan Supplement, the related Additional Term Loans, may
elect to forfeit any prepayment of a B Term Borrowing or the related Additional
Term Loan Borrowing, as applicable (the "Forfeited Loans") under this Section
                                         ---------------
2.7(b). To make such an election, such Lenders shall notify the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower thereof by telephone not later than one Business Day
after the Administrative Agent shall have advised such Lenders of such
prepayment in accordance with Section 2.7(d). Each such telephonic election
shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written election in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent and signed by each such Lender. Promptly following
receipt of such election, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of
the details thereof and the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans (other than the
Forfeited Loans) pro rata, in an amount equal to the entire amount of such
forfeited prepayment. Each prepayment of a Term Loan required by this Section
2.7(b) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the remaining installments
payable thereon.

          (c)  In the event of any partial reduction or termination of the
Revolving Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the date of such reduction or
termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
applicable Lenders of the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures after giving
effect thereto and (ii) if such sum would exceed the total Revolving Commitments
after giving effect to such reduction or termination, then the Borrower shall,
on the date of such reduction or termination, prepay Revolving Borrowings in an
amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

          (d)  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of a
prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of
each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid, provided that, if a notice of
                                                 --------
prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of
the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.5, then such notice of
prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance
with Section 2.5. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the

                                      36
<PAGE>

Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under
Section 2.7(a) shall (i) with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings, be in an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, and (ii) with
respect to ABR Borrowings, be in an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less
than $3,000,000. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the
extent required by Section 3.1.

     Section 2.8    Evidence of Debt
                    ----------------

          (a)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the debt of the Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal
and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

          (b)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it
shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type
thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender's share thereof.

          (c)  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section shall, to the extent not inconsistent with
any entries made in the Notes, be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided 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 obligation of the Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

          (d)  Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it be evidenced by
a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such
Lender, a Note payable to the order of such Lender, substantially in the form of
Exhibit C. In addition, if requested by a Lender, its Note may be made payable
to such Lender and its registered assigns in which case all Loans evidenced by
such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment
pursuant to Section 10.4) be represented by one or more Notes in like form
payable to the order of the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

     Section 2.9    Letters of Credit
                    -----------------

          (a)  General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
               -------
the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in
dollars for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time
during the period from the Effective Date to the tenth Business Day prior to the
Revolving Maturity Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of this Credit Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of
letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or
entered into by the Borrower

                                      37
<PAGE>

with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and
conditions of this Credit Agreement shall control.

          (b)  Notice of Issuance; Amendment; Renewal; Extension; Certain
               ----------------------------------------------------------
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment,
----------
renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall
hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing
Bank and the Administrative Agent (not later than three Business Days before the
requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting
the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be
amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such
Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this
Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare,
amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank,
the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing
Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A
Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and,
upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the
Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to
such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not
exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not
exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

          (c)  Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior
               ---------------
to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after
the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any
renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii)
the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date,
provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for
--------
additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date that
is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date).

          (d)  Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
               --------------
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the applicable Lenders, the
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender having a Revolving Commitment, and
each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such
Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and
in furtherance of the foregoing, each such Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement
made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment
required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each such Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant
to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter

                                      38
<PAGE>

of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be
made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever;
provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to make any payment to the
Administrative Agent for any wrongful LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank
as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross
negligence on the part of the Issuing Bank.

          (e)  Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement
               -------------
in respect of a Letter of Credit, then the Issuing Bank shall either (i) notify
the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank therefor, in which case the Borrower
shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an
amount equal to such LC Disbursement and any accrued interest thereon not later
than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is
made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior
to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such date, or if such notice has not been
received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than
1:00 p.m., New York City time, on (A) the Business Day that the Borrower
receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the day of receipt or (B) the Business Day immediately following
the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received
prior to such time on the day of receipt, provided that, if the LC Disbursement
is equal to or greater than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the
conditions of borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3
that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent
amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower's obligation to make such
payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving
Borrowing, or (ii) notify the Administrative Agent that the Issuing Bank is
requesting that the applicable Lenders make an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an
amount equal to such LC Disbursement and any accrued interest thereon, in which
case (1) the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the
details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part of
such ABR Revolving Borrowing, and (2) each Lender shall, whether or not any
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any representation or warranty
shall be accurate, any condition to the making of any loan hereunder shall have
been fulfilled, or any other matter whatsoever, make the Loan to be made by it
under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders, (A) on such date, in the event that such
Lender shall have received notice of such ABR Revolving Borrowing prior to 12:00
noon, New York City time, or (B) if such notice has not been received by such
Lender prior to such time on such date, then not later than 1:00 p.m., New York
City time, on (x) the Business Day that such Lender receives such notice, if
such notice is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of
receipt or (y) the Business Day immediately following the day that such Lender
receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the
day of receipt. Such Loans shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be an
ABR Revolving Borrowing referred to in Section 2.1(a) and made pursuant to
Section 2.3, and the Lenders' obligations to make such Loans shall be absolute
and unconditional. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to
the Issuing Bank by promptly crediting or otherwise transferring the amounts so
received, in

                                      39
<PAGE>

like funds, to the Issuing Bank for the purpose of repaying in full the LC
Disbursement and all accrued interest thereon.

          (f)  Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations to reimburse LC
               --------------------
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Credit Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit or this Credit Agreement, or any term or provision therein or
herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing
Bank 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 or (iv) any other
event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Borrower's obligations hereunder. Neither any Credit Party nor any of their
respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason
of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any
payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the
Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the
Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages
(as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby
waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by
the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when
determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of
Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that,
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the
Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the
Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the
parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their
face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon
such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment
upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
terms of such Letter of Credit.

          (g)  Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly
               -----------------------
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by
facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or
will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or
                                         --------
delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to

                                      40
<PAGE>

reimburse the Issuing Bank and the applicable Lenders with respect to any such
LC Disbursement.

          (h)  Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC
               ----------------
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in
full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall
bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is
made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans;
provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due
--------
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, then Section 3.1(b) shall apply.
Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the
Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by
any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing
Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

          (i)  Cash Collateral. If (x) any Event of Default shall occur and be
               ---------------
continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (y) the maturity of the Revolving
Loans has been accelerated, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
benefit of the applicable Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as
of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the
                                                           --------
obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately,
and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or
other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with
respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article 8. Such
deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment
and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Credit Agreement.
The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including
the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Such deposit shall not
bear interest, nor shall the Administrative Agent be under any obligation
whatsoever to invest the same, provided, however, that, at the request of the
                               --------
Borrower, such deposit shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in direct
short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations the principal of and
interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of
America, in each case maturing no later than the expiry date of the Letter of
Credit giving rise to the relevant LC Exposure. Interest or profits, if any, on
such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall
be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so
applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy
other obligations of the Borrower under this Credit Agreement. If the Borrower
is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount and any interest thereon (to the
extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three
Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

     Section 2.10   Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs
                    ----------------------------------------------------------

          (a)  Each Loan Party shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal of Loans, LC
Disbursements, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 3.5, 3.6,
3.7 or 10.3, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date
when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its office at One Wall Street, New
York, New York, or such other office as to which the Administrative Agent may
notify the other parties hereto, except payments to be made to the Issuing Bank
as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.5,
3.6, 3.7 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder shall be made in dollars.

          (b)  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available
to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal of Loans,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest, fees and commissions then due
hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest,
fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and commissions then
due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Loans and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

          (c)  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or
interest on, any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in
such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of
its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon
than the proportion received by any other applicable Lender, then the applicable
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other
applicable Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with
the aggregate amount of principal of, and accrued interest on, their respective
Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, provided that (i) if any such
                                              --------
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Credit Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as

                                      42
<PAGE>

consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant,
other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which
the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the
foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

          (d)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Loan Party prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the applicable Credit Parties hereunder that such Loan
Party will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Loan Party has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Credit Parties the amount due.
In such event, if such Loan Party has not in fact made such payment, then each
such Credit Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Credit Party with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.

          (e)  If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be
made by it pursuant to Section 2.4(b) or 2.9(e), then the Administrative Agent
may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply
any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Credit Party to satisfy such Credit Party's obligations under such Sections
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

ARTICLE 3.  INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
            --------------------------------------

     Section 3.1    Interest
                    --------

          (a)  The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at
the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Loans comprising each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the
Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

          (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on
any Loan, any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or any
fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due,
whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount
shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal
to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section
or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR
                                            ----
Revolving

                                      43
<PAGE>

Borrowings as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section. In addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, all
outstanding principal of each Loan and all unreimbursed reimbursement
obligations in respect of all LC Disbursements shall, without duplication of
amounts payable under the preceding sentence, bear interest, after as well as
before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise
                                                 ----
applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section.

          (c)  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant
                                     --------
to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event
of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than the prepayment of an ABR
Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on
the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion.

          (d)  All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base
Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in
each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate,
Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent,
and such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error.

     Section 3.2    Interest Elections
                    ------------------

          (a)  Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the
applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall
have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.
Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type
or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may
elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower
may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
applicable Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans
comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

          (b)  To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrower were
requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on
the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in
a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

                                      44
<PAGE>

          (c)  Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall
specify the following information:

               (i)   the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request
     applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
     different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each
     resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant
     to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each
     resulting Borrowing);

               (ii)  the effective date of the election made pursuant to such
     Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

               (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing
     or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

               (iv)  if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
     Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
     election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
     term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

          (d)  Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof
and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

          (e)  If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless
such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period,
such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so
notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i)
no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted
to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

     Section 3.3    Fees
                    ----

          (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender having a Revolving Commitment, a commitment fee, which
shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the daily
amount of the unused Revolving Commitment during the period from and including
the Agreement Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment
terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day
of March, June, September and December of each year, each date on which the
Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced and on the date on which

                                      45
<PAGE>

the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).

          (b)  The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender having a Revolving Commitment a participation fee
with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at
rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily amount of
such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's
Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have
any LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee,
which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between
the Borrower and the Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure
attributable to Letters of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the
Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC
Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing
of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be
payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof;
provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees
payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within
ten days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

          (c)  The Borrower agrees to pay to each Credit Party, for its own
account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times
separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Credit Party.

          (d)  All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the
dates due, in immediately available funds. Fees and other amounts paid shall not
be refundable under any circumstances.

     Section 3.4    Alternate Rate of Interest
                    --------------------------

          If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Borrowing:

                    (a)  the Administrative Agent determines (which
     determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
     reasonable means do not exist for

                                      46
<PAGE>

     ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for
     such Interest Period; or

          (b)  the Administrative Agent is advised by Required Lenders that the
     Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest
     Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
     making or maintaining its Loan included in such Borrowing for such Interest
     Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective,
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

         Section 3.5     Increased Costs; Illegality
                         ---------------------------

               (a)  If any Change in Law shall:

                    (i)  impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
          deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
          the account of, or credit extended by, any Credit Party (except any
          such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

                    (ii) impose on any Credit Party or the London interbank
          market any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement, any
          Eurodollar Loans made by such Credit Party or any participation
          therein or any Letter of Credit or participation therein,

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Credit Party of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or the cost to such
Credit Party of issuing, participating in or maintaining any Letter of Credit
hereunder or to increase the cost to such Credit Party or to reduce the amount
of any sum received or receivable by such Credit Party hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Credit
Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for
such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

          (b)  If any Credit Party determines that any Change in Law regarding
capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Credit Party's capital or on the capital of such Credit Party's holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement or the Loans made,
the Letters of Credit issued or the participations therein held, by such Credit
Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or such Credit Party's
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Credit Party's policies and the policies of such Credit
Party's holding

                                      47
<PAGE>

company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower
will pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party's holding company for any such
reduction suffered.

          (c)  A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as
applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

          (d)  Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Credit Party's right to demand such compensation.

          (e)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if,
after the date of this Credit Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it
unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give
effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar
Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

               (i)  such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not
     thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender
     hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans
     will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans,
     whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing or to convert an ABR
     Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing,
     as applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender
     only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR
     Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar
     Loan into an ABR Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be
     subsequently withdrawn; and

               (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar
     Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such
     Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans, as of the
     effective date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this
     paragraph.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) of this
paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have
been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such
Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied
to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the
conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this
paragraph, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each
Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest
Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such
notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

     Section 3.6    Break Funding Payments
                    ----------------------

          In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise)
of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any
notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be
revoked under Section 2.7(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), then, in
any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and
expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss,
cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by
such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would
have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred,
at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest
Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue,
for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over
(ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such
period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and
period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender
setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     Section 3.7    Taxes
                    -----

          (a)  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any
Loan Party hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes,
provided that, if such Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified
--------
Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the
applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such
deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b)  In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (c)  Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten
days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or
on account of any obligation of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest

                                      49
<PAGE>

and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party, or by
the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party, shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.

           (d)  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

           (e)  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
relevant Loan Party is located, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction
is a party, with respect to payments under the Loan Documents shall deliver to
the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested
by the Borrower from time to time as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate.

     Section 3.8    Mitigation Obligations
                    ----------------------

           If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.5, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.7,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit (or any
participation therein) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.5 or 3.7, as applicable, in the future and
(ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment.

ARTICLE 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
           ------------------------------

           The Borrower represents and warrants to the Credit Parties that:

     Section 4.1    Organization; Powers
                    --------------------

           Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as
now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material

                                      50
<PAGE>

Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in,

is a party thereto and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
partnership or other analogous and, if required, equity holder action. Each Loan
Document has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Borrower and the

(except for such consents, approvals, registrations or filings required by any
party to the Initial Transaction Documents to be delivered thereunder, the
delivery of which has been waived by such party, and except for such consents,
approvals, registrations or filings which will be required at the time, if any,
of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents by the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders), (ii) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the
charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority (subject to compliance
with any applicable law or regulation which, upon the exercise of remedies
hereunder by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, requires filing with or
approval of a Governmental Authority), (iii) will not violate or result in a
default under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon
the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right
thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries, or result in a default under either the 9 3/4% Senior Note
Indenture or the 10 1/2% Senior Note Indenture, and (iv) will not result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries (other than Liens permitted by Section 7.2).

     Section 4.4    Financial Condition
                    -------------------

Adverse Effect.

          (b)  Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, or is entitled to
use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and other intellectual
property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for
any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 4.6  Litigation and Environmental Matters
                  ------------------------------------

          (a)  There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries (i) that, if adversely determined (and there exists a reasonable
possibility of such adverse determination), could reasonably be

                                      52
<PAGE>

expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse

in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 4.7    Compliance with Laws and Agreements
                    -----------------------------------

          Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all

any Governmental Authority (including the FCC and State PUCs) applicable to it
or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding
upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in

<PAGE>

Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other
information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to any
Credit Party in connection with the negotiation of the Loan Documents or
delivered thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so
furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the

                                      54
<PAGE>

result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) all material payments due from the

Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare
insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the

other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) each of the Borrower and
the Subsidiary Guarantors will be able to pay its debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become
absolute and matured; and (iv) each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary

Security Agreement) and, when (i) the pledged property constituting such
Collateral is delivered to the Administrative Agent, (ii) financing statements
in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 5 to the
Perfection Certificate and (iii) all other applicable filings under the Uniform
Commercial Code or otherwise that are required under the Loan Documents are

     Section 4.17   Federal Reserve Regulations

principally, or as one of their important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

          (b)  No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will
be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally

     Section 4.18   Franchises, FCC, State PUC and Certain Copyright Matters
                    --------------------------------------------------------

use, all franchises, licenses (including Licenses) and other rights, and
possesses, or has rights under, agreements with public utilities and microwave
transmission companies, pole attachment, use access or rental agreements and
utility easements, including all cable television licenses and permits, all of
which the Borrower and such Subsidiary is in material compliance with no known
conflict with the valid rights of others, the absence of which could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred which would
permit the revocation or termination of any such franchise, license (including a
License), permit or other right which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (b)  The Borrower, each Subsidiary, Insight LP and AT&T (i) have each
duly and timely filed or caused to be filed (A) all cable television
registration statements and other filings which are required to be filed under
the Communications Act and under State Law and (B) all reports, applications,
documents, instruments and information required to be filed with the FCC and
State PUCs, as applicable, pursuant to all FCC rules, regulations and requests
and State Law, in each case, the failure of which to file could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) is in compliance with the
Communications Act and State Law, including, the rules and regulations of the
FCC and State PUCs the failure with which to comply would reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each Subsidiary has recorded
or deposited with and paid to the United States Copyright Office and the
Register of Copyrights all notices, statements of account, royalty fees and
other documents and instruments required under the Copyright Act, the failure of
which to record, deposit or pay could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower, neither the Borrower nor any
Subsidiary is liable to any Person for copyright infringement under the
Copyright Act as a result of its business operations.

ARTICLE 9.     THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
               ------------------------

               Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative
Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions
on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.

               The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall
have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and
such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

               The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2), and (c) except as
expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party that
is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or
any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 10.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of
any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Credit Party (and, promptly after its
receipt of any such notice, it shall give each Credit Party and the Borrower
notice thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in

                                      79
<PAGE>

connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report
or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness thereof or any other agreement, instrument or other document or
(v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere
herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent.

               The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and
shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not
incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

               The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent, provided that no such delegation shall
                                       --------
serve as a release of the Administrative Agent or waiver by the Borrower of any
rights hereunder. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform
any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

               Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Credit Parties and the Borrower. Upon any
such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor from among the Lenders reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from
among the Lenders which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or
an Affiliate of any such bank with minimum capital and undivided surplus of not
less than $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After the Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 10.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Administrative

                                      80
<PAGE>

Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as
Administrative Agent.

               Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party or any
of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit
Agreement. Each Credit Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party or any
of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon any Loan Document, any related agreement
or any document furnished thereunder.

               Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, no
Co-Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent acting in such capacity shall have
any duty or obligation under the Loan Documents.

     Section 10.2   Waivers; Amendments
                    -------------------

             (a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right
or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any
Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or
the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit shall not be
construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may
have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

             (b) Neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided
                                                                       --------
that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without
the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan
or any reimbursement obligation with respect to a LC Disbursement, or reduce the
rate of any interest (other than under Section 3.1(b)), or reduce any fees,
payable under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Credit
Party affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date of any amortization payment or
other payment at stated maturity of any Loan or the date of payment of any
reimbursement obligation with respect to an LC Disbursement, any interest or any
fees payable under the Loan Documents, or reduce the amount of, or waive or
excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Credit Party
affected thereby, (iv) change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter
the pro rata sharing of payments required by Section 2.10(b), the application of
mandatory prepayments required by Section 2.7(b), or the pro rata reduction of
Revolving Commitments required by Section 2.5(d), without the written consent of

each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities

of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the

contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of
their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions
or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof including any refusal of the Issuing
Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents
presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent, the
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to
any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such
                                                         --------
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

             (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount
required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, an amount equal to the
product of such unpaid amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which

is such Lender's Total Credit Exposure and the denominator of which

                                      83
<PAGE>

is aggregate Total Credit Exposure of all Lenders (in each case determined as of
the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought
or, in the event that no Lender shall have any Total Credit Exposure at such
time, as of the last time at which any Lender had a Total Credit Exposure),
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
--------
liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against
the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

             (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall
not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct and actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document
contemplated thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or any Letter of Credit or
the use of the proceeds thereof.

             (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly
but in no event later than ten days after written demand therefor.

     Section 10.4   Successors and Assigns
                    ----------------------

             (a) The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Credit Party (and any attempted assignment or transfer
by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this
Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or by reason of any Loan Document.

             (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Revolving Commitment or obligations in respect of its LC
Exposure, A Term Commitment, B Term Commitment and/or Additional Term Loan
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), provided that (i) except in
                                                   --------
the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any
Lender, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of
an assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Commitment or obligations in
respect of its LC Exposure, the Issuing Bank) must give its prior written
consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate
or Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender's Revolving Commitment, the amount of the Revolving
Commitment, A Term Loans and Additional Term Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 and after giving effect to such
assignment such Lender shall have Commitments, A Term Loans and Additional Term
Loans outstanding equal to at least

                                      84
<PAGE>

$5,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,
(iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or
Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
the assigning Lender's B Term Commitment, the amount of the B Term Loan
Commitment and B Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less
than $1,000,000 without the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance together with (unless
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent or in connection with an assignment
to an existing Lender or an Affiliate thereof) a processing and recordation fee
of $3,500, provided that in the case of assignments on the same day by a Lender
to more than one fund managed or advised by the same investment advisor, such
assignments shall be deemed to be a single assignment for purposes of the
calculation and payment of such processing and recordation fee, and (v) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Administrative Questionnaire, and provided further, that any consent of the
                                     --------
Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if a
Default has occurred and is continuing or during the Initial Syndication Period.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance, be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and, in
the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.5,
3.6, 3.7 and 10.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under the Loan Documents that does not comply with this paragraph
shall be treated for purposes of the Loan Documents as a sale by such Lender of
a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e)
of this Section.

             (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register
                                         --------
shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower and each
Credit Party may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Credit Party, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

             (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee

                                      85
<PAGE>

referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained
therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
Credit Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph.

             (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any
Credit Party, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each
such bank or other entity being called a "Participant") in all or a portion of
                                          -----------
such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or
a portion of its Revolving Commitment, LC Exposure and outstanding Revolving
Loans, A Term Loans, B Term Loans and Additional Term Loans owing to it),
provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall
--------
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan
Parties and the Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under the
Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of any Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or
                                               --------
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the
first proviso to Section 10.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to
paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.5 and 3.6 to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as though it were a Lender, provided
                                                                        --------
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10(c) as though it were
a Lender.

             (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 3.5 or 3.7 than the Lender would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the
sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior
written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.7 unless the Borrower
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.7(e) as though
it were a Lender.

             (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations under the Loan Documents or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
for such Lender as a party hereto.

                                      86

     Section 10.5     Survival
                      --------

             All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by
the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Credit Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties
hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the
making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any
investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or
incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended
hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any LC Disbursement or any fee or any
other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid or any
Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired
or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 10.3, 10.9, 10.10
and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans and the LC Disbursements, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Credit
Agreement or any provision hereof.

     Section 10.6     Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness
                      ----------------------------------------

             This Credit Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute
but one contract. This Credit Agreement and any separate letter agreements with
respect to fees payable to any Credit Party or the syndication of the credit
facilities established hereunder (including the commitment letter issued to the
Borrower in connection herewith) constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Credit Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto (the
"Closing Date"), and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
 ------------
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of
an executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement by facsimile transmission shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit
Agreement.

     Section 10.7     Severability
                      ------------

             In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Credit Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being
understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in
any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations
to replace the invalid, illegal

                                      87
<PAGE>

or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.

     Section 10.8     Right of Setoff
                      ---------------

             If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to
setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing
by it to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all
the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Credit
Agreement held by it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any
demand under this Credit Agreement and although such obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that it may have.

     Section 10.9     Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process
                      ----------------------------------------------------------

             (a)  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

             (b)  Each party to this Credit Agreement hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States
of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Credit Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment,
and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State
court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Credit Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any
other Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating
to this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower, or
any of its property, in the courts of any jurisdiction.

             (c)  Each party to this Credit Agreement hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Credit
Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (b)
of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum
to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

                                      88
<PAGE>

             (d)  Each party to this Credit Agreement irrevocably consents to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing
in this Credit Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Credit
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

     Section 10.10    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
                      --------------------

             EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     Section 10.11    Headings
                      --------

             Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein
are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Credit Agreement and
shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in
interpreting, this Credit Agreement.

     Section 10.12    Interest Rate Limitation
                      ------------------------

             Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the
interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other
amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law
(collectively the "charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "maximum
rate") that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the
Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest
payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all of the charges
payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the maximum rate and, to the
extent lawful, the interest and the charges that would have been payable in
respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section shall be cumulated, and the interest and the charges payable to such
Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above
the maximum rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have
been received by such Lender.

the Internal Revenue Service, or the receipt of an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Partners.

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

Agreement.  The balance in each Partner's Capital Account as of the date of this
Agreement equals the sum of (i) the balance in such Partner's Capital Account
immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) (A) in the case of TCI
Indiana, the Net Fair Market Value of the AT&T Assets as determined in
accordance with the Illinois Contribution Agreement and as shown on Exhibit 1 to
the Illinois Contribution Agreement Amendment, and (B) in the case of Insight
Communications, the Net Fair Market Value of the Insight Assets, Exchange Assets
and Sale Assets as determined in accordance with the Illinois Contribution

          (c)  Determining Fair Market Value of Additional Contributed Assets.
               --------------------------------------------------------------

any asset contributed by a Partner to the Partnership (other than the InterMedia
Capital Partners VI, L.P. partnership interests contributed pursuant to the
Kentucky Contribution Agreement and the assets contributed pursuant to the
Illinois Contribution Agreement) shall be determined for purposes of this
Agreement as follows:

          (1)  For purposes of this Agreement, other than under Article 9 and
except as provided in Section 3.1(c)(2), the fair market value of an asset shall
be that value mutually agreed to by the Partners within ten days after either
Partner requests such determination or, in the case of the membership interests
in Insight Indiana, that value mutually agreed to by the Partners within six
months after the date of this Agreement.

          (2)  In the event the Partners are unable to agree on the value during
such ten-day or six-month period, fair market value shall be determined within
twenty days thereafter by an investment banker mutually selected by the Partners
within five days of the end of such ten-day or six-month period and such
determination shall be conclusive and binding on both Partners. Each Partner
shall pay its pro rata portion (based on the Partners' Percentage Interests) of
the expenses of the investment banker. If the investment banker is only able to
provide a range in which fair market value would exist, fair market value shall
be the average value of the highest and lowest values of such range.

     3.2  Additional Capital Contributions.
          --------------------------------

     There shall be no further assessments for additional Capital Contributions
by the Partners to the Partnership, provided that this Section 3.2 shall not in

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

     Neither Partner shall have the right to demand a return of all or any part
of its Capital Contribution during the term of the Partnership, and any return
of the Capital Contribution of either Partner shall be made solely from the
assets of the Partnership and only in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. No interest shall be paid to either Partner with respect to its
Capital Contribution to the Partnership.

                 DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS

     4.1  Distributions of Cash.
          ---------------------

          (a)  Amount and Timing of Distributions.
               ----------------------------------

               (1)  The Partnership shall, with respect to each Fiscal Year
(other than the fiscal quarter in which the Partnership is liquidated),
distribute to Insight, (i) at least ten days prior to each quarterly due date
for individual estimated tax payments for the Fiscal Year, an amount equal to
the estimated Tax Amount for Insight for such quarter, computed on an annualized
basis and prorated for the cumulative number of months in the Fiscal Year that
have passed as of the end of the quarter for which such estimated Tax Amount is
being computed; and (ii) not later than ninety days after the end of such Fiscal
Year an aggregate amount equal to the Tax Amount for Insight for such Fiscal
Year (to the extent not previously distributed to Insight pursuant to the
preceding clause (i) with respect to such Fiscal Year). For purposes of making
the computation in Section 4.1(a)(1)(i) for the first, second, and third
quarters of each Fiscal Year, such computation shall be based upon the
Partnership's estimated taxable income for the first three, five and eight
months of the Fiscal Year, respectively. The Partnership shall make a pro rata
distribution to TCI in proportion to the Partners' relative Percentage Interests
in respect of each distribution to Insight pursuant to the preceding sentence.

          (2)  No cash of the Partnership not required to be distributed
pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(1) or Section 11.2(d)(3) shall be distributed except
with the written consent of all Partners.

          (b)  Allocation of Distributions.  All distributions of cash pursuant
               ---------------------------
to Section 4.1(a), Section 11.2(d)(3) or otherwise approved by the Partners
shall be made to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

                                     -20-
<PAGE>

          (c)  Tax Withholding.
               ---------------

          (1)  The Partnership shall seek to qualify for and obtain exemptions
from any provision of the Code or any provision of state, local, or foreign tax
law that would otherwise require the Partnership to withhold amounts from
payments or distributions to the Partners.  If the Partnership does not obtain
any such exemption, the Partnership is authorized to withhold from any payment
or distribution to either Partner any amounts that are required to be withheld
pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local, or foreign tax law
that is binding on the Partnership.

          (2)  Any amount withheld with respect to any payment or distribution
to either Partner shall be credited against the amount of the payment or
distribution to which the Partner would otherwise be entitled. If the Code or
any provision of any state, local, or foreign tax law that is binding on the
Partnership requires that the Partnership remit to any taxing authority any
withholding tax with respect to, or for the account of, either Partner in its
capacity as a Partner, the Partnership shall, to the extent that Partnership
funds are available therefor, remit the full required amount of such withholding
tax to the taxing authority and shall notify such Partner in writing of its
obligation to pay to the Partnership such withholding tax to the extent it
exceeds the amount of any payment or distribution to which such Partner would
otherwise then be entitled. Each Partner shall pay to the Partnership, within
five Business Days after its receipt of written notice from the Partnership that
withholding is required with respect to such Partner, any amounts required to be
remitted by the Partnership to any taxing authority with respect to such Partner
that are in excess of the amount of any payment or distribution to which such
Partner would otherwise be entitled. If the Partnership is required to remit any
withholding tax with respect to, or for the account of, either Partner prior to
the Partnership's receipt of any payment required to be made by such Partner
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the amount of the payment required to be
made by such Partner shall be treated as a loan (the "Withholding Advance") from
the Partnership to the Partner, which shall accrue interest from the date the
Partnership is required to remit such withholding tax until paid by such Partner
or credited against payments or distributions to which such Partner would
otherwise be entitled as provided in Section 4.1(c)(3) at a rate of fifteen
percent per year, compounded semi-annually.

          (3)  Any Withholding Advance made to a Partner and any interest
accrued thereon shall be credited against, and shall be offset by, the amount of
any later payment or distribution to which the Partner would otherwise be
entitled (without duplication of the credit provided in the first sentence of
Section 4.1(c)(2)), with any credit for accrued and unpaid interest as of the
date such payment or distribution would otherwise have been made being applied
before any credit for the amount of the Withholding Advance. Any Withholding
Advance made to a Partner and any interest accrued thereon, to the extent it has
not previously been paid by the Partner in cash or fully credited against
payments or distributions to which the Partner would otherwise be entitled,
shall be paid by the Partner to the Partnership upon the earliest of (A) the
dissolution of the Partnership, (B) the date on which the Partner ceases to be a
Partner of the Partnership, or (C) demand for payment by the Partnership.

                                     -21-
<PAGE>

          (4)  All amounts that are credited against payments or distributions
to which a Partner would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.1(c)
shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Partner pursuant to Section
4.1(a) for all purposes of this Agreement.

     4.2  Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss.
          --------------------------------------

          (a)  Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss.  Except as provided in
               --------------------------------------
Section 4.2(b), Net Profit and Net Loss for each Fiscal Year (or portion
thereof) shall be allocated between the Partners in proportion to their
Percentage Interests.

          (b)  Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss Following Dissolution.
               ------------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a), following the dissolution of the Partnership
pursuant to Section 11.1, beginning in the Fiscal Year in which such dissolution
occurs or beginning in any Fiscal Year prior to the Fiscal Year in which such
dissolution occurs if the Partnership's Federal income tax return for such prior
Fiscal Year has not yet been required to be filed (not including extensions),
items of income and gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated between the
Partners so as to cause the credit balances in the Partners' Capital Accounts to
be in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

     4.3  Special Provisions Regarding Allocations of Profit and Loss.
          -----------------------------------------------------------

          (a)  Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
               -----------------------
this Article 4, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any
Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership
income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and if necessary for succeeding Fiscal
Years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in
Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(g); provided, however, that this Section 4.3(a) shall not apply
to the extent the circumstances described in Treasury Regulations Sections
1.704-2(f)(2), 1.704-2(f)(3), 1.704-2(f)(4), or 1.704-2(f)(5) exist.
Allocations made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion
to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant
thereto.  The items of Partnership income and gain to be allocated pursuant to
this Section 4.3(a) shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f)(6).  This Section 4.3(a) is intended to comply with the
minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

          (b)  Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other
               -------------------------------
provision of this Article 4 except Section 4.3(a), if during any Fiscal Year
there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, each Partner
with a share of that Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning
of such Fiscal Year must be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for
the Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for succeeding Fiscal Years) equal to that
Partner's share of the net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
(determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4));
provided, however, that this Section 4.3(b) shall not apply to the extent the
circumstances described in the third and fifth sentences of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) exist.  Allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated
to each Partner pursuant

                                     -22-
<PAGE>

thereto. The items of Partnership income and gain to be allocated pursuant to
this Section 4.3(b) shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 4.3(b) is intended to comply with the
minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-
2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

          (c)  Qualified Income Offset.  If a Partner unexpectedly receives any
               -----------------------
adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially
allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to
the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall be made if and only to the
extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after
all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been tentatively made
as if this Section 4.3(c) were not in this Agreement.  Allocations made pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts
required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.

          (d)  Gross Income Allocation.  If a Partner has a deficit Capital
               -----------------------
Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the
amount such Partner is obligated to restore to the Partnership pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c), (2) the amount such Partner
is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1), and (3) the amount such Partner is
deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially
allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as
quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 4.3(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would
have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations
provided for in this Article 4 have been tentatively made as if Section 4.3(c)
and this Section 4.3(d) were not in this Agreement.  Allocations made pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts
required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.

          (e)  Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal
               ----------------------
Year or other period shall be specially allocated between the Partners in
proportion to their Percentage Interests.

          (f)  Partner Nonrecourse Deductions.  Any Partner Nonrecourse
               ------------------------------
Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to
the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner
Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable
in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

          (g)  Section 754 Adjustment.  To the extent any adjustment to the
               ----------------------
adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership pursuant to Code Section
734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if
the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment
decreases such

                                     -23-
<PAGE>

basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a
manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required
to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Treasury Regulations.

          (h)  Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities.  For purposes of determining a
               ------------------------------
Partner's proportionate share of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the
Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3),
each Partner's interest in Partnership profits shall be deemed to be equal to
such Partner's Percentage Interest.

          (i)  Curative Allocations.  The allocations set forth in this Article
               --------------------
4 (other than Section 4.3(g), Section 4.3(h), and this Section 4.3(i)) (the
"Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of
the Treasury Regulations. The Partners intend that, to the extent possible, all
Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations
or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or
deduction pursuant to this Section 4.3(i). Therefore, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article 4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), offsetting
special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction shall be
made so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner's Capital
Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance
such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this
Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.2. In
making such offsetting special allocations, future Regulatory Allocations under
Section 4.3(a) and Section 4.3(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to
offset Regulatory Allocations made under Section 4.3(e) and Section 4.3(f),
shall be taken into account.

     4.4  Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).
          ------------------------------------

          (a)  In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any
property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax
purposes, be allocated between the Partners so as to take account of any
variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for
federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value using the
traditional allocation method described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-
3(b).

          (b)  If the Gross Asset Value of any asset of the Partnership is
adjusted pursuant to paragraph (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value,
subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such
asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such
asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same
manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

          (c)  Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4 are solely for purposes
of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken
into account in computing, either Partner's Capital Account or share of Net
Profit, Net Loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement.

                                     -24-

     4.5  Allocation in Event of Transfer.
          -------------------------------

     If an interest in the Partnership is transferred in accordance with Article
8 or 9 of this Agreement, the Net Profit and Net Loss of the Partnership and
each item thereof, and all other items attributable to the transferred interest
for such Fiscal Year, shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and
the transferee pursuant to the interim closing of the Partnership books method
set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c)(2)(ii) unless the parties
otherwise mutually agree.  This Section shall apply for purposes of computing a
Partner's Capital Account and for federal income tax purposes.

     4.6  Alternative Allocations.
          -----------------------

     The General Partner is authorized and directed to allocate items of income,
gain, loss, or deduction arising in any Fiscal Year differently from the manner
that is otherwise provided for in this Agreement if, and to the extent that, the
General Partner believes that the allocation of items of income, gain, loss, or
deduction in the manner otherwise provided for in this Agreement would cause the
credit balances in the Partners' Capital Accounts not to be in proportion to
their Percentage Interests immediately prior to any distributions pursuant to
Section 11.2(d)(3) if the Partnership were dissolved and terminated on the last
day of such Fiscal Year.  Any allocation that is made pursuant to this Section
4.6 shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation that is
otherwise provided for in this Agreement and no amendment to this Agreement
shall be required.

                                   ARTICLE 5

                       AUTHORITY OF THE GENERAL PARTNER;
                    OTHER MATTERS AFFECTING GENERAL PARTNER

     5.1  Authority of General Partner.
          ----------------------------

          (a)  Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the business
of the Partnership shall be managed by the General Partner pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement. The General Partner shall have exclusive authority
and full discretion with respect to the management of the business of the
Partnership and the Subsidiaries, subject to Sections 5.1(b) and (c).

          (b)  The General Partner may delegate such general or specific
authority to the officers of the Partnership with respect to the business and
day-to-day operations of the Partnership as it from time to time considers
desirable, and the officers of the Partnership may exercise the authority
granted to them, subject to any restraints or limitations imposed by the
provisions of Sections 6.5 and 6.6 and any other express provisions of this
Agreement.

          (c)  The General Partner agrees that acting alone it shall not give
any consent on any matter or take any other action as the General Partner,
including, without limitation, acting on behalf of or binding the Partnership or
any Subsidiary with respect to any matter in respect of which approval by the
Limited Partner is required by the provisions of this Agreement or the Act,
unless such consent, matter or other action shall first have been adopted or
approved by the Limited Partner in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement

                                     -25-
<PAGE>

or the Act, unless such consent, matter or other action shall first have been
adopted or approved by the Limited Partner in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement or the Act as applicable.

     5.2  No Personal Liability.
          ---------------------

     The General Partner shall not have any personal liability for the repayment
of the Capital Contributions of any other Partner; provided that the General
Partner shall promptly return to the Partnership or to the Partner or Partners
entitled thereto any distributions received by the General Partner in excess of
those to which the General Partner is entitled under this Agreement.

     5.3  Withdrawal of General Partner.
          -----------------------------

          (a) The General Partner may not resign or withdraw from the
Partnership without the consent of the Limited Partner (subject to the rights of
transfer set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and it being understood that no
transfer permitted by the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
withdrawal for any purpose except as provided in Section 5.3(d)), other than
upon the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership in accordance with the
provisions of Article 11.  If the General Partner so resigns or withdraws from
the Partnership, the Partnership shall dissolve in accordance with the
provisions of Article 11 unless, within ninety days after the withdrawal of the
General Partner, the Limited Partner elects in writing to continue the business
of the Partnership pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
consents to the admission of at least one General Partner (which may be effected
by the Limited Partner converting a portion of its Partnership Interest to that
of a General Partner).

          (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "withdrawal" does not
include the happening of any event described in Section 17-402(a)(4) or (5) of
the Act, and no Partner shall cease to be a Partner solely upon the happening of
such event(s); provided, that upon the happening of any such event that results
in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of a Partner or of all
or substantially all of a Partner's properties and the loss by such Partner of
its management authority with respect to all or substantially all of its
properties, then (x) if the Partner to which such event occurs (the "Affected
Partner") is the General Partner, the Limited Partner shall have the right to
convert all or a portion of its Partnership Interest to that of a General
Partner, whereupon the General Partner's Partnership Interest will automatically
be converted to that of a Limited Partner; (y) all representatives of the
Affected Partner shall be deemed to have resigned from the Advisory Committee
and such Partner shall have no further right to designate any representatives;
and (z) no consent of the Affected Partner required under any provision of this
Agreement shall any longer be required and the other Partner shall be entitled
to grant all such consents and take all actions relating to the Partnership and
its business; provided, that clauses (y) and (z) will not apply if the Affected
Partner is the General Partner and the Limited Partner does not elect pursuant
to clause (x) to convert its Partnership Interest to that of a General Partner.

          (c) Without limiting any other rights or remedies that the Partnership
or the Limited Partner may have at law or in equity, if the Partnership is
continued pursuant to Section 5.3(a) following the withdrawal of the General
Partner, the General Partner shall continue to be a

                                     -26-
<PAGE>

Partner of the Partnership; provided, that its Partnership Interest shall be
converted to that of a Limited Partner and, if the former General Partner
withdrew without the consent of the Limited Partner, (1) its representatives to
the Advisory Committee shall be deemed to have resigned and the former General
Partner shall have no further right as Limited Partner to designate any
representatives, and (2) no consent of the former General Partner required under
any provision of this Agreement shall any longer be required and the new General
Partner shall be entitled to grant all such consents and take all actions
relating to the Partnership and its business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
change in the identity of the General Partner shall be subject to and
conditioned upon receipt of all necessary governmental approvals and other
material third party consents. The withdrawal of the General Partner shall not
alter the allocations and distributions to be made to the Partners pursuant to
this Agreement.

          (d) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a), the General Partner may withdraw
from the Partnership upon the transfer of all of its Partnership Interest to any
Transferee or Successor that is admitted to the Partnership as a Partner and
substituted for the General Partner in accordance with Section 8.2(b).

     5.4  Tax Matters Partner.
          -------------------

          (a) The General Partner is hereby designated as the Tax Matters
Partner of the Partnership, as provided in Treasury Regulations pursuant to Code
Section 6231 and analogous provisions of state law.  Each Partner, by the
execution of this Agreement, consents to such designation of the Tax Matters
Partner and agrees to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file,
and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary
or appropriate to evidence such consent.

          (b) To the extent and in the manner provided by applicable law and
Treasury Regulations, the Tax Matters Partner shall furnish the name, address,
profits interest, and taxpayer identification number of each Partner and any
Transferee to the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate (the "Secretary").

          (c) The Tax Matters Partner shall notify each Partner of any audit
that is brought to the attention of the Tax Matters Partner by notice from the
Internal Revenue Service, and shall forward to each Partner copies of any
written notices, correspondence, reports, or other documents received by the Tax
Matters Partner in connection with such audit within ten Business Days following
its notification by the Internal Revenue Service or its receipt, as the case may
be.  The Tax Matters Partner shall provide TCI with reasonable advance notice of
administrative proceedings with the Internal Revenue Service, including any
closing conference with the examiner and any appeals conference.

          (d) The Tax Matters Partner shall give the Partners written notice of
its intent to initiate judicial review, file a request for administrative
adjustment on behalf of the Partnership, extend the period of limitations for
making assessments of any tax against a Partner with respect to any Partnership
item, or enter into any agreement with the Internal Revenue Service that would
result in the settlement of any alleged tax deficiency or other tax matter, or
to any adjustment of taxable income or loss or any item included therein,
affecting the Partnership

                                     -27-
<PAGE>

or any Partner. The Tax Matters Partner shall not take any such action if TCI
elects within thirty days after its receipt of the Tax Matters Partner's notice
to require that the Tax Matters Partner refrain from taking such action.

          (e) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.4, the Tax
Matters Partner is hereby authorized, but not required:

              (1)  to enter into any settlement with the Internal Revenue
Service or the Secretary with respect to any tax audit or judicial review, in
which agreement the Tax Matters Partner may expressly state that such agreement
shall bind the other Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not
bind either Partner that (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and
Treasury Regulations thereunder) files a statement with the Secretary providing
that the Tax Matters Partner shall not have the authority to enter into a
settlement agreement on the behalf of such Partner;

              (2)  if a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the
Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for
tax purposes (a "final adjustment") is mailed to the Tax Matters Partner, to
seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a
petition for readjustment with the Tax Court, the District Court of the United
States for the district in which the Partnership's principal place of business
is located, or elsewhere as allowed by law, or the United States Claims Court;

              (3)  to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for
judicial review of a final adjustment;

              (4)  to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the
Secretary at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the
Secretary, to file a petition for judicial review with respect to such request;

              (5)  to enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service
to extend the period for assessing any tax that is attributable to any item
required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item
affected by such item; and

              (6)  to take any other action on behalf of the Partners (with
respect to the Partnership) or the Partnership in connection with any
administrative or judicial tax proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable
law or Treasury Regulations.

          (f) The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters
Partner for all expenses (including legal and accounting fees) incurred pursuant
to this Section 5.4 in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding
with respect to the tax liability of the Partners.  The payment of all such
reasonable expenses shall be made before any distributions are made to the
Partners.  The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Tax
Matters Partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent
provided herein or required by law, is a matter in the sole discretion of the
Tax Matters Partner and the provisions on limitations of liability of the
General Partner and indemnification set forth in Article 12 shall be fully
applicable to the General Partner in its capacity as the Tax Matters Partner.

                                     -28-
<PAGE>

          (g) Any Partner that receives a notice of an administrative proceeding
under Code Section 6233 relating to the Partnership shall promptly notify the
Tax Matters Partner of the treatment of any Partnership item on such Partner's
federal income tax return that is or may be inconsistent with the treatment of
that item on the Partnership's return.

          (h) Either Partner that enters into a settlement agreement with the
Secretary with respect to any Partnership item shall notify the Tax Matters
Partner of such agreement and its terms within thirty days after its date, and
the Tax Matters Partner shall notify the other Partners of the settlement
agreement within thirty days of such notification.

     At least thirty days prior to the end of each Fiscal Year during the term
of this Agreement, the General Partner will submit to the Limited Partner
proposed operating and capital expenditure budgets for the Partnership and its
Subsidiaries for the following Fiscal Year and will negotiate in good faith with
the Limited Partner regarding any changes to such budgets requested by the
Limited Partner.  If the General Partner and the Limited Partner are unable to
reach agreement on the changes proposed by the Limited Partner, the operating
and capital expenditure budgets for the Partnership and its Subsidiaries
proposed by the General Partner will be the budgets of the Partnership and its
Subsidiaries.

                                   ARTICLE 6

            STATUS OF LIMITED PARTNER; OTHER LIMITATIONS ON PARTNERS

     6.1  No Management and Control.
          -------------------------

     Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall
take part in or interfere in any manner with the control, conduct, or operation
of the Partnership or have any right or authority to act for or bind the
Partnership or to vote on matters relating to the Partnership.

     6.2  Limited Liability.
          -----------------

     No Limited Partner shall be bound by or personally liable for the expenses,

be required to make up a deficiency in its Capital Account upon the dissolution
and termination of the Partnership.

     6.3  Return of Distributions of Capital.
          ----------------------------------

     A Limited Partner may, under certain circumstances, be required by law to
return to the Partnership, for the benefit of the Partnership's creditors,
amounts previously distributed.  No Limited Partner shall be obligated by this
Agreement to pay those distributions to or for the account of the Partnership or
any creditor of the Partnership.  However, if any court of competent
jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, a
Limited Partner must return or pay over any part of those distributions, the
obligation shall be that of such Limited

                                     -29-
<PAGE>

Partner alone and not of any other Partner. Any payment returned to the
Partnership by a Partner or made directly by a Partner to a creditor of the
Partnership shall be deemed a Capital Contribution by such Partner.

     6.4  Specific Limitations.
          --------------------

its Capital Contribution except as a result of the dissolution of the
Partnership or as otherwise provided by law, (b) bring an action for partition
against the Partnership or any assets of the Partnership, (c) cause the
termination and dissolution of the Partnership, except as set forth in this
Agreement, or (d) demand or receive property other than cash in return for its

this Agreement with respect to the purchase, redemption, retirement, or other
acquisition of Partnership Interests, no Partner shall have priority over any
other Partner either as to the return of its Capital Contribution or as to Net
Profit, Net Loss, or distributions.  Other than upon the termination and
dissolution of the Partnership as provided by this Agreement, there has been no
time agreed upon when the Capital Contribution of any Partner will be returned.

     6.5  Matters Requiring TCI Approval.
          ------------------------------

     Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, and in
addition to any other consent or approval that may be required by the express
terms of this Agreement, without the consent of TCI, which may be withheld by
TCI in its sole discretion, the Partnership shall not take, and the General
Partner shall have no authority to cause the Partnership to, or cause or permit
any Subsidiary to, consummate an Asset Disposition if such Asset Disposition
would result in the allocation of income or gain to TCI pursuant to Section 4.4
and Code Section 704(c), unless Insight reimburses TCI for the amount of such
adverse tax consequence as reasonably determined by TCI.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the limitations of this paragraph shall not apply (i) upon the
liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with Articles 9 and
11; (ii) to any pledging of assets by any Person to secure any Indebtedness of
such Person permitted by this Agreement or to any disposition of assets upon the

that cumulatively are equal to or less than twenty percent of the value of the
Partnership's assets, if any such exchanges of assets are made pursuant to Code
Section 1031 and do not result in an adverse tax consequence to TCI as
reasonably determined by TCI, unless Insight reimburses TCI for the amount of
such adverse tax consequence as reasonably determined by TCI.

     6.6  Additional Matters Requiring Limited Partner Approval.
          -----------------------------------------------------

     Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, and in
addition to any other consent or approval that may be required by the express
terms of this Agreement, the Partnership shall not take, and the General Partner
shall have no authority to cause the Partnership to take, or cause or permit any
Subsidiary to take, any of the following actions without the consent of the
Limited Partner:

under any other agreement to which neither the Partnership nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or (iii) enter into any amendment to, or refinancing of,
any Indebtedness that would affect any keepwell or guarantee issued by TCI

          (d) enter into any transaction with either Partner or any Affiliate of
either Partner unless the transaction is in the ordinary course of the

Advisory Committee shall be chosen by the Advisory Committee.

          (b) Each Partner shall use its good faith efforts to designate its

Partner, remove its representatives, with or without cause, and substitute

from office, with or without cause, without the consent of the Partner that
designated him.

          (d) The written notice of the Partner appointing a substitute
representative shall in each case set forth such representative's business
address and business telephone number.

     7.3  Procedural Matters.
          ------------------

          (a) Unless waived in writing by all of the representatives (before or

be given to each representative.  Such notice shall state the purpose for which
such meeting has been called.

          (b) The General Partner must consult the Advisory Committee in advance

                                   ARTICLE 8

                       TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

     8.1  Limitations on Transfers.
          ------------------------

          (a) Except as provided in Section 8.1(b) and 8.1(c), neither Partner
may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise encumber (any or all of the foregoing, a "Transfer") all or any part
of its Partnership Interest, the profits, losses and distributions therefrom, or
any part thereof (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law)
unless approved by the other Partner, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding the approval of the non-transferring
Partner to any Transfer by a Partner, the rights of any Transferee shall be
subject at all times to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2.

          (b) The restrictions of Section 8.1(a) shall not apply and no consent
of the other Partner shall be required for:

              (1) a Transfer pursuant to Article 9; or

                                     -37-
<PAGE>

              (2) a Transfer to an Affiliate of such Partner (a "Successor") so
long as (A) such Transfer would not hinder or impair consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by Article 9; (B) such Successor, prior to such sale
or transfer, becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the
terms and conditions hereof; and (C) in the case of a Transfer by TCI, AT&T
Broadband holds and maintains, directly or indirectly, an economic ownership in
such Affiliate equal to at least 50.1% of the economic interest in such
Affiliate following such Transfer and has and maintains, directly or indirectly,
voting control of such Affiliate following such Transfer; or

              (3) a Transfer pursuant to Section 8.7.

          (c) If Insight desires to effect a Transfer that is not permitted by
the terms of this Section 8.1 except with the approval of TCI, and if TCI grants
such approval upon Insight's request, TCI shall have the right, effective upon
the Transfer by Insight, to convert its Partnership Interest into that of a
General Partner; provided that any such change in the identity of the General
Partner shall be subject to and conditioned upon receipt of all necessary
governmental approvals and other material third party consents.  TCI shall
exercise such right, if at all, by giving written notice to Insight at the same
time TCI grants its approval to the Transfer by Insight.  If TCI exercises such
right, the transferee of Insight, upon becoming a Partner pursuant to Section
8.2, shall not be the General Partner but shall be a Limited Partner, and the
allocations and distributions to be made to the Partners pursuant to this
Agreement shall not be altered.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
without the consent of the other Partner, neither Partner shall effect, or agree
to effect, any Transfer that will adversely affect or change, or is reasonably
likely to adversely affect or change, the partnership tax classification of the
Partnership.

          (e) Neither Partner may Transfer all or any part of its Partnership
Interest unless it simultaneously Transfers to the same Transferee or Successor
a proportionate part of its LLC Interest.

     8.2  Transferees and Successors.
          --------------------------

          (a) No Transfer of a Partnership Interest will be effective nor will
any purported Transferee or Successor become a Partner or otherwise be entitled
to any of attributes of ownership of the Partnership purportedly Transferred
unless such Transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 8
and the transferor and Transferee or Successor have complied with the following
conditions:

              (1) the transferor has executed and delivered to the Partnership a
copy of the assignment of the Partnership Interest to Transferee or Successor in
form and substance satisfactory to the Partnership;

              (2) the Transferee or Successor, if not already a party to this
Agreement, becomes a party to this Agreement, assumes all of the obligations
hereunder of its

                                     -38-
<PAGE>

transferor and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof in the same
manner as the transferor.

          (b) Upon compliance with Section 8.2(a), any Transferee or Successor
shall be substituted as a Partner for, and shall, subject to Section 8.1(c)
regarding the Transferee of Insight's Partnership Interest becoming a Limited
Partner, enjoy the same rights and be subject to the same obligations as, its
predecessor as a Partner hereunder.

          (c) If there is a permitted Transfer of a Partnership Interest under
this Agreement:

              (1) A Transferee's or Successor's Percentage Interest shall equal
the Percentage Interest transferred to it by the transferring Partner;

              (2) A Transferee's or Successor's Capital Account shall initially
be equal to the Capital Account balance transferred to it by the transferring
Partner;

              (3) If requested to do so by any transferring Partner or by the
Transferee or Successor by notice given to the Partners, the Partnership shall
make an election under Section 754 of the Code (and a corresponding election
under applicable state and local law).  Upon the request of either Partner, the
Partnership shall also make a timely election under Section 754 of the Code upon
a distribution of property or money to a Partner.

     8.3  Transfers of Interests in Partners.
          ----------------------------------

          (a) Except as provided in Section 8.3(b), AT&T Broadband agrees that
it will not Transfer (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law)
all or any part of its direct or indirect ownership interests in TCI Indiana,
without the consent of Insight.

          (b) The restriction of Section 8.3(a) shall not apply and no consent
of Insight shall be required for a Transfer directly or indirectly by AT&T
Broadband to an Affiliate of AT&T Broadband so long as (1) such Transfer would
not hinder or impair consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
Article 9; and (2) AT&T Broadband holds and maintains, directly or indirectly,
an economic ownership in such Affiliate equal to at least 50.1% of the economic
interest in such Affiliate following such Transfer and has and maintains,
directly or indirectly, voting control of such Affiliate following such
Transfer.

          (c) It is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 8.3 shall
be deemed to require any consent of Insight to any proposed or actual transfer
of control (however such transfer is effected, by sale of stock or assets,
merger or consolidation or otherwise) of AT&T Broadband, MediaOne Group or AT&T
Corp. or to any proposed or actual distribution to the stockholders of AT&T
Broadband, MediaOne Group or AT&T Corp. of direct or indirect equity interests
in AT&T Broadband, MediaOne Group or AT&T Corp.

          (d) It is understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to require any consent of TCI to any proposed or actual transfer of
control (however such

                                     -39-
<PAGE>

transfer is effected, by sale of stock or assets, merger or consolidation or
otherwise) of Insight, provided, however, in the event of such a transfer of
control, TCI shall have the right, effective upon such transfer, to convert its
Partnership Interest to that of a General Partner; provided that any such change
in the identity of the General Partner shall be subject to and conditioned upon
receipt of all necessary governmental approvals and other material third party
consents. TCI shall exercise such right, if at all, by giving written notice to
Insight within ten Business Days of TCI's receipt of notice that such a transfer
of control is contemplated. If TCI exercises such right, Insight, effective upon
such transfer of control, shall no longer be the General Partner but shall be a
Limited Partner, and the allocations and distributions to be made to the
Partners pursuant to this Agreement shall not be altered.

          (e) By executing this Agreement, AT&T Broadband represents and
warrants to Insight and the Partnership that as of the date of this Agreement
(i) it owns, directly or indirectly, at least 50.1% of the outstanding equity
interests in TCI Indiana and has, directly or indirectly, voting control of TCI
Indiana, and (ii) AT&T Broadband and MediaOne Group collectively own, directly
or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity interests in TCI Indiana.

     8.4  Other Consents and Requirements.
          -------------------------------

     Any Transfer must be in compliance with all requirements imposed by any
state securities administrator having jurisdiction over the Transfer and the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and must not cause the
Partnership or any Subsidiary to be in violation of any Ownership Restriction.

     8.5  Assignment Not In Compliance.
          ----------------------------

     Any Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Article 8
(whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law) shall be void and of
no effect, and shall neither bind nor be recognized by the Partnership.

     8.6  Division of Partnership Interests.
          ---------------------------------

     The several rights and obligations inherent in the Capital Account and
Percentage Interest attributable to a Partner's Partnership Interest are
indivisible except in equal proportions, such that the assignment of a specified
percentage of a Partner's Partnership Interest may only represent an equal
percentage of the total Capital Account and Percentage Interest that were
attributable to such Partner's Partnership Interest prior to the assignment.

     8.7  Pledge of Partnership Interests.
          -------------------------------

     At the request of the General Partner, each Partner agrees to pledge its
Partnership Interest to secure any Indebtedness of the Partnership or its
Subsidiaries that is permitted under this Agreement, on terms determined by the
General Partner, so long as all Partners are required to pledge their
Partnership Interests and the terms of the pledge do not impose any personal
liability on any Partner.  In negotiating the terms of any such pledge, the
General Partner will require that the secured party agree to enforce its rights
against the Partnership Interests of the

                                     -40-
<PAGE>

Partners proportionately (based on the Percentage Interest of each Partner). If
the secured party under any such pledge enforces its rights against the
Partnership Interests of the Partners other than proportionately, the Partners
will afford each other such rights of contribution and indemnity as are
necessary to cause all liabilities, losses, and damages suffered by the Partners
as a result of the exercise by the secured party of its rights under such pledge
to be borne by the Partners proportionately.

     8.8  Code Section 708(b)(1)(B).
          -------------------------

          (a) If a Transfer by a Partner of all or any portion of its
Partnership Interest (other than a Transfer pursuant to Article 9) or any action
by such Partner in violation of this Agreement results in a termination of the
Partnership or any Subsidiary pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, the
transferring Partner will indemnify the other Partner for any additional income
tax paid by such other Partner as a result of such termination (including income
tax attributable to Code Section 704(c) allocations), whether required to be
paid in or for the taxable year in which such termination occurs or in or for
any subsequent taxable year, as offset by any income tax savings to be realized
by the other Partner as a result of such termination (including income tax
savings attributable to Code Section 704(c) allocations), whether realized in or
for the taxable year in which such termination occurs or in or for any
subsequent taxable year.

          (b) If a Partner desires to assign all or part of its Partnership
Interest in a transaction that, if consummated at one time, would result in the
termination of the Partnership within the meaning of Code Section 708(b)(1)(B),
such Partner may elect (1) to assign immediately as much of its Partnership
Interest as may then be assigned without resulting in the termination of the
Partnership within the meaning of Code Section 708(b)(1)(B) and (2) to assign
the remaining portion of its Partnership Interest that it desires to assign as
soon thereafter as such subsequent assignment would not result in the
termination of the Partnership within the meaning of Code Section 708(b)(1)(B).
If a Partner notifies the other Partner that it has elected to assign all or
part of its Partnership Interest in accordance with this Section 8.8(b)
specifying in its notice the portion of its Partnership Interest to be assigned
immediately in accordance with clause (1) of the preceding sentence and the
portion of its Partnership Interest to be assigned subsequently in accordance
with clause (2) of the preceding sentence (the assignment of such portion, the
"Deferred Assignment"), then, if the other Partner assigns all or any part of
its Partnership Interest prior to the Deferred Assignment by the notifying
Partner and the Deferred Assignment therefore results in the termination of the
Partnership within the meaning of Code Section 708(b)(1)(B), the other Partner
and not the notifying Partner shall be treated as the Partner causing such
termination for purposes of Section 8.8(a).

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

     9.1  Commencement of Exit Process.
          ----------------------------

          (a) At any time after December 31, 2005, but subject to Section
9.1(b), either TCI or Insight may elect to commence the process described in
this Article 9 (the "Exit Process") by giving written notice (the "Exit Notice")
of its election to commence the process described in this Article 9 to the Non-
Initiating Partner.  The Exit Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the
Initiating Partner's division of all assets of the Partnership, including
current assets, into two groups of as nearly equal Gross Fair Market Value as
possible (each, an "Asset Group"), taking into account that cable television
systems included in the geographic clusters designated on Schedule V may not be
divided between Asset Groups.  The Exit Notice shall also set forth in
reasonable detail the Initiating Partner's division of all liabilities of the
Partnership, including current liabilities and related keepwells (collectively,
"Liabilities"), between the two Asset Groups such that the "Net Fair Market
Value" of each Asset Group is equal, Net Fair Market Value being defined as
Gross Fair Market Value minus Liabilities.  To the extent that the Gross Fair
Market Value of the Asset Groups cannot be exactly equal, the Initiating Partner
shall use commercially reasonable efforts in dividing the assets and liabilities
of the Partnership pursuant to this Section 9.1, including related keepwells, to
minimize any gain or other adverse tax consequences to either Partner, it being
understood that the Initiating Partner may also take into account all other
relevant considerations in addition to tax considerations, including, but not
limited to, financing and regulatory considerations.  The Initiating Partner
shall promptly provide to the Non-Initiating Partner all information about the
composition of the Asset Groups, including the Liabilities in such Asset Group,
as is reasonably requested by the Non-Initiating Partner to assist in making its
selection pursuant to Section 9.3.

          (b) A Partner may not elect to commence the Exit Process described in
this Article 9:

              (1) at any time within twelve months of delivering a prior Exit
Notice to the Non-Initiating Partner pursuant to Section 9.1(a); or

              (2) at any time within six months of the effectiveness of a valid
notice of postponement delivered by either Partner pursuant to Section 9.2; or

              (3) at any time following the delivery of an Exit Notice by the
other Partner pursuant to Section 9.1(a) and prior to such time, if any, that
(A) the Initiating Partner and the Non-Initiating Partner mutually agree to
abandon the process commenced by such Exit Notice pursuant to a subsequent
election pursuant to Section 9.1(c), or (B) the non-defaulting Partner elects to
terminate the process commenced by such Exit Notice pursuant to a subsequent
election pursuant to Section 9.4(a)(2).

                                     -42-
<PAGE>

          (c) The process commenced by an Exit Notice may be abandoned at any
time following the delivery of an Exit Notice pursuant to Section 9.1(a) and
prior to the closing thereof by mutual agreement between the Initiating Partner
and the Non-Initiating Partner.

     9.2  Non-Initiating Partner's Option to Postpone the Exit Process.
          ------------------------------------------------------------

          Upon receipt of a valid Exit Notice from the Initiating Partner
pursuant to Section 9.1, the Non-Initiating Partner may elect, by giving written
notice to the Initiating Partner within five Business Days of the Non-Initiating
Partner's receipt of such Exit Notice, to postpone for a period of six months
the first date on which either Partner may commence the Exit Process, provided
that each Partner may exercise this option to postpone only once during the term
of the Partnership.  If the Non-Initiating Partner fails to give a timely
written notice of its election to postpone pursuant to the preceding sentence
(or if the Non-Initiating Partner has already exercised its one election to
postpone), the Non-Initiating Partner shall be deemed not to have made such an
election to postpone.  A timely and valid election to postpone by the Non-
Initiating Partner shall become effective immediately upon its delivery to the
Initiating Partner, at which time the Initiating Partner's Exit Notice shall
automatically be rescinded and be of no further force and effect and neither
Partner shall have any further obligations in respect of such Exit Notice and
such Exit Notice shall not count against the Initiating Partner for purposes of
Section 9.1(b)(1).

     9.3  Non-Initiating Partner's Selection of Asset Group.
          -------------------------------------------------

          (a) Selection Notice.  If the Non-Initiating Partner does not make (or
              ----------------
is deemed not to have made) an election to postpone pursuant to Section 9.2, the
Non-Initiating Partner shall select which Asset Group it desires to acquire from
the Partnership in redemption of its Partnership Interest and LLC Interest, by
giving written notice of its selection (a "Selection Notice") to the Initiating
Partner within ninety days after its receipt of the Exit Notice, subject to the
following:

              (1) If the Non-Initiating Partner does not agree that the division
of the Asset Groups complies with the requirements of Section 9.1, the Non-
Initiating Partner may specify in its Selection Notice that it elects to
commence the dispute resolution procedure specified in Section 9.7 (the "Dispute
Resolution Procedure"), subject to Section 9.3(c).

          (b) Selection Notice Without Election to Engage in Dispute Resolution
              -----------------------------------------------------------------
Procedure.  Upon the timely delivery by the Non-Initiating Partner of a
---------
Selection Notice pursuant to this Section 9.3 specifying which Asset Group it
elects to acquire from the Partnership in redemption of its Partnership Interest
and LLC Interest without an election pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(1), the Non-
Initiating Partner shall be obligated to consummate its acquisition of the Asset
Group selected by it in accordance with this Article 9 and the Initiating
Partner shall be obligated to consummate its acquisition of the other Asset
Group in accordance with this Article 9.

                                     -43-
<PAGE>

          (c) Selection Notice With Election to Commence Dispute Resolution
              -------------------------------------------------------------
Procedure.  Any Selection Notice delivered by the Non-Initiating Partner
---------
pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(1) shall specify in reasonable detail the basis upon
which the Non-Initiating Partner objects to the Asset Groups designated by the
Initiating Partner and shall specify the changes that the Non-Initiating Partner
believes are required in order for the division of the Asset Groups to comply
with the requirements of Section 9.1.  Upon the timely delivery by the Non-
Initiating Partner of a Selection Notice pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(1)
specifying its election to commence the Dispute Resolution Procedure and the
information described in the preceding sentence, the Partners will first
negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into
account any tax, regulatory, or economic considerations) for a reasonable period
(not to exceed ninety days) to mutually agree on two Asset Groups and the
Partner to which each Asset Group will be distributed.

              (1) If the Partners reach mutual agreement within such ninety-day
period, each of TCI and Insight shall be obligated to complete the Exit Process
in accordance with this Article 9 and the terms of their agreement.

              (2) If the Partners are unable to reach mutual agreement within
such ninety-day period, then the Dispute Resolution Procedure shall commence.

          (e) Failure to Make a Timely Election.  If the Non-Initiating Partner
              ---------------------------------
fails to give a Selection Notice to the Initiating Partner within ninety days
after its receipt of the Exit Notice, the Initiating Partner may choose and
shall be obligated to acquire the Asset Groups specified by it in such Exit
Notice it desires to acquire by giving written notice to the Non-Initiating
Partner within five Business Days after the end of such ninety-day period and
the Non-Initiating Partner shall be obligated to acquire the other Asset Group.

     9.4  Default by Partner.
          ------------------

          (a) If the Partners become obligated to consummate the Exit Process
under this Article 9 and a Partner defaults in its obligation to do so on the
date specified in Section 9.6(a) for the closing of the Exit Process, then the
non-defaulting Partner may elect either:

              (1) to cause the Partnership to be liquidated and dissolved in
accordance with Article 11; or

              (2) to terminate the Exit Process commenced by the Initiating
Partner's Exit Notice and continue the Partnership.

          (b) The two options that may be elected by the non-defaulting Partner
pursuant to Section 9.4(a) are exclusive of each other and are exclusive of all
other rights and remedies that may otherwise have been available to the non-
defaulting Partner at law or equity as a result of the defaulting Partner's
default, subject to Section 9.6(g).

                                     -44-
<PAGE>

          (c) The non-defaulting Partner may make an election pursuant to
Section 9.4(a) by giving written notice of its election to the defaulting
Partner at any time within thirty days after the date specified in Section
9.6(a) for the closing of the Exit Process and prior to such time, if any, as
the defaulting Partner stands ready, willing, and able to consummate the Exit
Process.

     9.5  Removal of Insight as Partner.
          -----------------------------

          (a) The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall apply if:

              (1) a court of competent jurisdiction finds that Insight has
engaged in conduct while acting as General Partner that constitutes either fraud
against the Partnership or TCI or a felony involving moral turpitude and that
such conduct has resulted in material harm to the Partnership or TCI, and

              (2) the finding described in Section 9.5(a)(1) has not been
reversed, stayed, enjoined, set aside, annulled, or suspended, and is not the
subject of any pending request for judicial review, reconsideration, appeal, or
stay, and

              (3) the time for filing any further request for judicial review,
reconsideration, appeal, or stay of the finding described in Section 9.5(a)(1)
has expired.

          (b) If each of the conditions specified in Section 9.5(a) is
satisfied, then (1) TCI may elect to convert its Partnership Interest to that of
a General Partner, provided, that such change in the identity of the General
Partner shall be subject to and conditioned upon receipt of all necessary
governmental approvals and other material third party consents, and provided
further that if TCI exercises such right, Insight will cease to be the General
Partner but shall be a Limited Partner; and (2) TCI shall have the option to
purchase all of Insight's Partnership Interest and LLC Interest in accordance
with the process described in this Section 9.5(b) and Section 9.5(c).  TCI may
elect to commence such process by giving written notice of its election to
Insight within ten Business Days after the condition specified in Section
9.5(a)(3) is satisfied.  Upon Insight's receipt of TCI's notice pursuant to the
preceding sentence, Insight and TCI shall, within thirty Business Days of such
receipt, negotiate in good faith to determine the Fair Market Value of all of
the assets of the Partnership and Insight Kentucky Capital as of the date TCI
delivers notice to Insight pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9.5(b)
(it being understood and agreed that to the extent the Partnership has any
Subsidiaries, in making the determination of the Fair Market Value of the
Partnership, the Subsidiaries shall be taken into account) (the "Fair Market
Value of the Partnership and Insight Kentucky Capital").

              (1) If Insight and TCI fail to agree upon the Fair Market Value of
the Partnership and Insight Kentucky Capital within such period, then each of
Insight and TCI will select a nationally recognized investment banking firm or
nationally recognized qualified appraisal firm who will determine the Fair
Market Value of the Partnership and Insight Kentucky Capital within sixty days
of engagement. If the average of the two appraisals is within 1.5% of the lower
of the appraisals, then the Fair Market Value of the Partnership and Insight
Kentucky

                                     -45-
<PAGE>

Capital will be the average of the two appraisals. If such average is not within
1.5% of the lower of the two appraisals, the two appraisers selected by Insight
and TCI will select a third nationally recognized investment banking firm or a
nationally recognized qualified appraisal firm who will conduct a third
appraisal, and the Fair Market Value of the Partnership and Insight Kentucky
Capital will be equal to the average of the two appraisals that are closest to
one another, provided that if the highest and lowest appraisals are equidistant
from the middle appraisal, then the Fair Market Value of the Partnership and
Insight Kentucky Capital will be equal to the middle appraisal. Each of Insight
and TCI shall have the right to submit to all appraisers a position paper with
respect to valuation. Each of Insight and TCI will bear the expenses of the
investment banking firm or appraisal firm that they select, and if a third
investment banking firm or appraisal firm is used, Insight and TCI will share
equally the expenses of the third firm. In conducting the appraisals, the
appraisers shall assume that the value of any business is the price at which a
willing seller would sell and a willing and able buyer would buy such property
in an arm's-length, free market transaction, for cash, without time constraints,
in light of factors including but not limited to prices paid for comparable
properties, cash flow, book value, earnings and prospects for future earnings
and cash flow.

          (c) TCI may elect to purchase all of Insight's Partnership Interest
and LLC Interest and, upon the consummation of such purchase, to remove Insight
as a Partner, by giving written notice of its election to Insight within ten
Business Days after the final determination of the Fair Market Value of the
Partnership and Insight Kentucky Capital.  Upon the timely delivery by TCI of
notice pursuant to the preceding sentence specifying its election to purchase
Insight's Partnership Interest and LLC Interest, Insight shall be obligated to
sell and TCI shall be obligated to purchase, in accordance with this Article 9,
all of Insight's Partnership Interest and LLC Interest for a cash price equal to
the Equity Value of Insight's Partnership Interest and LLC Interest.  If TCI
fails to give a timely notice to Insight pursuant to the first sentence of this
Section 9.5(c) specifying its election to purchase Insight's Partnership
Interest and LLC Interest, TCI shall be deemed to have made an election not to
purchase Insight's Partnership Interest and LLC Interest pursuant to this
Section 9.5, in which event, subject to Sections 9.5(b) and (d), Insight shall
continue as the General Partner.

          (d) The rights of TCI under this Section 9.5 are in addition to any
other rights and remedies available to TCI at law or equity as a result of any
conduct by Insight described in Section 9.5(a).

     9.6  General Terms Applicable to Exit Process.
          ----------------------------------------

          (a) The distribution of the Asset Groups to the Partners in accordance
with this Article 9 shall occur not later than twenty Business Days after the
receipt of all material governmental consents and approvals required in
connection with such distribution.

          (b) The closing of the Exit Process in accordance with this Article 9
shall take place at the principal office of the Partnership or at any other
location agreed to by Insight and TCI.

                                     -46-
<PAGE>

          (c) At the closing of the Exit Process pursuant to this Article 9, the
Partnership shall distribute the Asset Groups to the Partners free and clear of
any liens (other than those created by this Agreement and those securing debt
included in such Asset Group) and the Partners shall assign their Partnership
Interests to the Partnership free and clear of any liens (other than those
created by this Agreement) and debt of the Partnership) in full redemption of
their respective Partnership Interests and LLC Interests.

          (d) The Partners will cooperate in good faith and use their respective
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as quickly as practicable all
governmental and material non-governmental consents and approvals required in
connection with the Exit Process pursuant to this Article 9.

          (e) In connection with the distribution of the Asset Groups to the
Partners, the relevant Partner will execute an assumption agreement pursuant to
which such Partner will assume all liabilities relating to, arising out of or
otherwise attributable to the Asset Group being distributed to it and will
further agree to indemnify the other Partner for any losses such other Partner
may suffer with respect to any of such liabilities.  Such assumption agreement
shall contain terms substantially similar to those contained in Article IV of
the Illinois Contribution Agreement relating to the assumption of liabilities
and such indemnification agreement shall contain terms substantially similar to
these contained in Article XI of the Illinois Contribution Agreement.

          (f) Each Partner agrees that, from and after the date on which the
respective obligations of the Partners to effect the Exit Process become
effective in accordance with this Article 9, it will negotiate in good faith and
use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an appropriate agreement on
reasonable terms and conditions that are consistent with the other provisions of
this Article 9 and that are otherwise standard and customary at the time.

          (g) Each Partner hereby agrees that the other Partner shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches by such Partner of
its obligations under this Article 9 and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions of this Article 9 in any court of the United States or any state
having jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled  at
law or in equity.  If an action is brought by either Partner pursuant to this
Section 9.6(g), the other Partner shall waive the defense that there is an
adequate remedy at law and waive posting of bond.

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 9, the
Partners agree that if the Partnership Interests of Insight and TCI are no
longer 50/50, the provisions of this Article 9 will be renegotiated to preserve
the benefit of the bargain between the parties on a proportionate basis.

          (i) Insight and TCI acknowledge that, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Article 9, no approval of Insight or TCI shall be required
under Article 6 hereof with respect to the transactions contemplated by Article
9 (including, without limitation, under Sections 6.5, 6.6(b), 6.6(n), and
6.6(o)).

     9.7  Dispute Resolution Procedure.
          ----------------------------

          If Insight and TCI fail to agree upon the division of the Asset Groups
within the time period specified in Section 9.3(c), then Insight and TCI will
mutually agree on a nationally recognized investment banking firm or nationally
recognized qualified appraisal firm (the "Firm") which will be instructed to
choose within sixty days of its engagement the division of Asset Groups outlined
in either the Initiating Partner's Exit Notice or the Non-Initiating Partner's
Selection Notice and whose fees and expenses will be borne by the party whose
Asset Group division is not chosen by the Firm.  Each of Insight and TCI shall
have the right to submit to the Firm a position paper with respect to the
division of the Asset Groups.   If the division of Asset Groups outlined in the
Initiating Partner's Exit Notice is chosen, the Non-Initiating Partner shall
select which Asset Group it desires to acquire from the Partnership in
redemption of its Partnership Interest and LLC Interest within thirty days
following the Firm's decision.   If the division of Asset Groups outlined in the
Non-Initiating Partner's Selection Notice is chosen, the Initiating Partner
shall select which Asset Group it desires to acquire from the Partnership in
redemption of its Partnership Interest and LLC Interest within thirty days
following the Firm's decision.

     9.8  General Terms Applicable to Purchase and Sale of Insight's Partnership
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest and LLC Interest Pursuant to Section 9.5.
-------------------------------------------------

          (a) The closing of the purchase and sale of Insight's Partnership
Interest and LLC Interest in accordance with Section 9.5 shall occur not later
than twenty Business Days after the receipt of all governmental and material
non-governmental consents and approvals required in connection with the sale.

          (b) The closing of the purchase and sale of Insight's Partnership
Interest and LLC Interest in accordance with Section 9.5 shall take place at the
principal office of the Partnership or at any other location agreed to by
Insight and TCI.

          (c) At the closing of any purchase and sale of Insight's Partnership
Interest and LLC Interest pursuant to Section 9.5, TCI or the Partnership shall
pay or cause to be paid to Insight, by cash or other immediately available funds
or any other form of consideration mutually agreed to by Insight and TCI, the
purchase price for the Partnership Interest and LLC Interest being purchased and
Insight shall deliver to TCI (or its permitted assignee or the Partnership) good
title, free and clear of any liens (other than those created by this Agreement
and those securing financing obtained by the Partnership or any Subsidiary), to
the Partnership Interest and LLC Interest being sold.

          (d) With respect to the current assets and liabilities of the
Partnership, the transaction costs and the reserves to be determined as part of
the Equity Value of the Partnership Interest and LLC Interest to be sold at the
closing pursuant to Section 9.5 and this Section 9.8, such current assets and
liabilities, costs and reserves shall be determined by mutual agreement of
Insight and TCI at least five days in advance of the date scheduled for said
closing, but to the

                                     -48-
<PAGE>

extent that as of such date there is a good faith disagreement between the
parties as to any portion of such current assets, liabilities, costs or reserves
the parties shall proceed to closing of such purchase and sale, with closing
based on matters not in dispute. Thereafter, all matters in dispute shall be
immediately referred to an independent public accountant mutually acceptable to
Insight and TCI who shall make such determination as promptly as practicable and
whose determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. If the
accountant determines that either party is entitled to payment from the other
party, the party which owes such payment shall make it to the entitled party in
cash in accordance with the accountant's determination.

          (e) The Partners will cooperate in good faith and use their respective
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as quickly as practicable all
governmental and material non-governmental consents and approvals required in
connection with the purchase and sale of Insight's Partnership Interest and LLC
Interest pursuant to Section 9.5 and this Section 9.8.

          (f) From and after the closing, TCI will be entitled to
indemnification from Insight (or another creditworthy entity reasonably
acceptable to TCI) against any liabilities of Insight as a Partner or as a
member in Insight Kentucky Capital (including without limitation, tax
liabilities of Insight for periods prior to the closing) for periods prior to
closing not taken into account in determining the Equity Value of Insight's
Partnership Interest and LLC Interest.  The other indemnification obligations of
Insight to TCI shall be substantially equivalent to its indemnification
obligations to the Partnership pursuant to the Illinois Contribution Agreement.
On the date that is one year after the closing under this Section 9.8, Insight
shall be entitled to its distributable share of any reserves set up pursuant to
Section 11.2(d)(2) that had not yet been used to pay any obligation or liability
that relates to the period prior to the date of closing pursuant to this Section
9.8 and that would not be required to be maintained in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles with respect to the period prior to the date of
closing pursuant to this Section 9.8.

          (g) Each Partner agrees that, from and after the date on which the
respective obligations of the Partners to purchase and sell Insight's
Partnership Interest and LLC Interest become effective in accordance with
Section 9.5, it will negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable
efforts to enter into an appropriate purchase agreement or other agreements on
reasonable terms and conditions that are consistent with the other provisions of
Section 9.5 and this Section 9.8 and that are otherwise standard and customary
at the time for similar transactions.

          (h) Each Partner hereby agrees that the other Partner shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches by such Partner of
its obligations under Section 9.5 and this Section 9.8 and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions of Section 9.5 and this Section 9.8 in any
court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, in addition to any
other remedy to which it is entitled  at law or in equity.  If an action is
brought by either Partner pursuant to this Section 9.8(h), the other Partner
shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

                 OTHER BUSINESSES AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

     10.1 Prohibited Cross-Interests.
          --------------------------

          (a) Each Partner agrees that, during the term of this Agreement,
neither such Partner nor any Affiliate of such Partner shall, directly or
indirectly, acquire any interest in any business or in any Person if the
acquisition of such interest would cause the Partnership or any Subsidiary to be
in violation of any Ownership Restriction.

          (b) If, during the term of this Agreement, there is a Formal
Determination that either Partner's holding of a Partnership Interest causes the
Partnership or any Subsidiary to be in violation of any Ownership Restriction,
then the following provisions of this Section 10.1(b) shall apply.  For purposes
of this Section 10.1(b), a "Formal Determination" means (i) an agreement between
Insight and TCI, (ii) a written determination by the FCC (including a
determination by staff employees of the FCC acting under delegated authority),
regardless of whether such determination is subject to administrative or
judicial review, reconsideration, or appeal (except to the extent that, so long
as a stay of any enforcement action by the FCC against the Partnership or any
Subsidiary as a result of any such violation of an Ownership Restriction is
effective, the Partner that caused the violation specifies that any such
determination will not constitute a Formal Determination during the pendency of
any review, reconsideration, or appeal), or (iii) a decision of any court of
competent jurisdiction, regardless of whether such decision is subject to
administrative or judicial review, reconsideration, or appeal (except to the
extent that, so long as a stay of any enforcement action by the FCC against the
Partnership or any Subsidiary as a result of any such violation of an Ownership
Restriction is effective, the Partner that caused the violation specifies that
any such decision will not constitute a Formal Determination during the pendency
of any review, reconsideration, or appeal).   Insight and TCI will use their
respective good faith efforts, after consultation with legal counsel, to reach
an agreement as to whether either Partner's holding of a Partnership Interest
causes the Partnership or any Subsidiary to be in violation of any Ownership
Restriction.

              (1) The Partnership will use reasonable efforts to obtain a stay
of any enforcement action by the FCC against the Partnership or any Subsidiary
as a result of any such violation of an Ownership Restriction (and the agreement
of both Partners shall be required for the Partnership to act otherwise), and
the Partners will cooperate reasonably with the Partnership in such efforts, to
the extent necessary to prevent such violation from having a material adverse
effect on the Partnership and the Subsidiaries before it is cured. For purposes
of this Section 10.1(b), a material adverse effect on the Partnership and the
Subsidiaries includes the loss of any license or licenses issued by the FCC
that, in the aggregate, are material to the conduct of the business of the
Partnership and the Subsidiaries, the imposition of any fines or forfeitures
that, in the aggregate, are material in amount, and limitations on the ability
of the Partnership or any Subsidiary to conduct its business in the ordinary
course consistent with its past practices.

              (2) The Partnership and the Partners will cooperate reasonably
with each other and negotiate in good faith with the FCC to obtain a
determination by the FCC

                                     -50-
<PAGE>

(including a determination by staff employees of the FCC acting under delegated
authority) that certain actions proposed to be taken by a Partner or its
Affiliates would cure any such violation of an Ownership Restriction. The
actions proposed to be taken by a Partner or its Affiliates to cure such
violation may be those that, in such Partner's judgment, are least detrimental
to such Partner and its Affiliates, and may include the divestiture of any asset
or the restructuring of any investment.

              (3) If there is a Formal Determination that a Partner's holding of
a Partnership Interest causes the Partnership or any Subsidiary to be in
violation of any Ownership Restriction, such Partner (the "Curing Partner")
agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary to cure any such violation of an
Ownership Restriction; provided, however, that:

                  (A) if the Partnership and the Partners receive a
determination by the FCC (including a determination by staff employees of the
FCC acting under delegated authority) that certain actions proposed to be taken
by the Curing Partner or its Affiliates would cure such violation, then, if the
Curing Partner and its Affiliates take such actions, the Curing Partner shall
not be required to take any other action under this Section 10.1(b) to cure such
violation until such time, if any, that there is a subsequent Formal
Determination that such actions did not cure such violation;

                  (B) The Curing Partner shall not be required to take any
action to cure such violation prior to the time that such violation would have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership and the Subsidiaries; and

                  (C) The Curing Partner shall not be required to take any
action to cure any violation that arose from any acquisition made by the
Partnership or any Subsidiary in violation of Section 10.1(c).

              (4) The actions that the Curing Partner may be required to take
pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(3), subject to the limitations therein, shall
include, to the extent necessary to cure such violation, executing amendments to
this Agreement to eliminate any right of the Curing Partner under this Agreement
(other than its right to allocations of income, its right to distributions, its
rights under Section 6.5 in the case of TCI as the Curing Partner, its rights
under Section 6.6, and its right to approve any other action by the Partnership
and the Subsidiaries if such action (A) in the case of an action that does not
uniquely affect either Partner, such as an acquisition or disposition of assets
or a financing, would have a material adverse economic effect on the Curing
Partner or (B) in the case of an action that uniquely affects either Partner,
such as a transaction between the Partnership and a Partner or an Affiliate of a
Partner, would have an adverse economic effect on the Curing Partner).

          (c) Neither Partner will approve the acquisition, directly or
indirectly, by the Partnership or any Subsidiary of any interest in any business
or in any Person if such Partner has actual knowledge that consummating such
acquisition would cause either Partner or any Affiliate of either Partner to be
in violation of any Ownership Restriction; provided that if the General Partner
desires to cause the Partnership or a Subsidiary to acquire assets or an
interest in a business or any Person, and the General Partner does not have
actual knowledge that such

                                     -51-
<PAGE>

acquisition would cause the Partnership or a Subsidiary, either Partner or any
Affiliate of either Partner to be in violation of any Ownership Restriction,
then the General Partner shall provide prior written notice to TCI of such
proposed acquisition at least thirty days prior to entering into a binding
agreement to effect such acquisition and if TCI notifies the General Partner
within fifteen days of receiving such notice that such acquisition would cause
the Partnership or a Subsidiary or TCI to be in violation of any Ownership
Restriction, the General Partner shall not proceed with such acquisition without
first complying with this Section 10.1(c) again, it being understood that if TCI
does not so notify the General Partner within such fifteen-day period then the
General Partner shall be presumed not to have knowledge that such acquisition
would cause the Partnership or a Subsidiary, either Partner or any Affiliate of
either Partner to be in violation of any Ownership Restriction.

     10.2  No Other Restrictions.
           ---------------------

     Except as specifically provided above in this Article 10, nothing in this
Agreement shall limit the ability of either Partner, or any partner, member,
Affiliate, Controlled Affiliate, agent, or representative of either Partner, to
engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or
description, independently or with others, whether currently existing or
hereafter created and whether or not competitive with or advanced by the
business of the Partnership.  Neither the Partnership nor the other Partner
shall have any rights in or to the income or profits derived therefrom, nor
shall either Partner have any obligation to the other Partner with respect to

                  DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF PARTNERSHIP

     11.1  Events of Dissolution.
           ---------------------

     The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the happening of any of the
following events:

           (a) the failure of the Limited Partner to continue the Partnership in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3(a) after the withdrawal of the
General Partner;

           (b) the expiration of the term of the Partnership as set forth in
Section 2.4;

           (c) an election to liquidate and dissolve the Partnership made by a
non-defaulting Partner pursuant to Section 9.4(a)(1);

           (d) the sale, exchange, involuntary conversion, or other disposition
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership
(provided that the distribution of an Asset Group to one of the Partners in
accordance with Article 9 in connection with the Exit Process shall not
constitute an event of dissolution under this Section 11.1(d));

           (e) upon mutual agreement of the Partners; or

                                     -52-
<PAGE>

           (f) subject to any provision of this Agreement that limits or
prevents dissolution, the happening of any event that, under applicable law,
causes the dissolution of a limited partnership.

     11.2  Liquidation.
           -----------

           (a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership for any reason, the
Partnership shall immediately commence to wind up its affairs.  A reasonable
period of time shall be allowed for the orderly termination of the Partnership
business, discharge of its liabilities, and distribution or liquidation of the
remaining assets so as to enable the Partnership to minimize the normal losses
attendant to the liquidation process.

           (b) Liquidation of the assets of the Partnership shall be managed on
behalf of the Partnership by the "Liquidator," which shall be (1) if the
Partnership is being liquidated pursuant to Section 11.1(c), the non-defaulting
Partner, (2) if the Partnership is being liquidated following a withdrawal by
the General Partner, the Limited Partner, and (2) in all other events, the
General Partner or a liquidating trustee selected by the General Partner.  The
Liquidator shall be responsible for soliciting offers to purchase the entirety
of the Partnership's assets (including equity interests in other Persons) or
portions or clusters of assets of the Partnership.  The Liquidator shall afford
each Partner an opportunity to offer to purchase any assets of the Partnership
that are offered for sale in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership
to the extent doing so would be consistent with the orderly liquidation of the
Partnership.

           (c) The Liquidator shall cause a full accounting of the assets and
liabilities of the Partnership to be taken and a statement thereof to be
furnished to each Partner within thirty days after the distribution of all of
the assets of the Partnership.

           (d) The property and assets of the Partnership and the proceeds from
the liquidation thereof shall be applied in the following order of priority:

               (1) first, to payment of the debts and liabilities of the
Partnership, in the order of priority provided by law (including any loans by
either Partner to the Partnership) and payment of the expenses of liquidation;

               (2) second, to setting up of such reserves as the Liquidator may
deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or
obligations of the Partnership or any obligation or liability not then due and
payable; provided, however, that any such reserve shall be paid over by the
Liquidator into a Partnership account or a liquidating trust account established
for such purpose, to be held in such account for the purpose of disbursing such
reserves in payment of such liabilities, and, at the expiration of such holdback
period as the Liquidator shall deem advisable, to distribute the balance
thereafter remaining in the manner hereinafter provided; and

               (3) finally, to payment to the Partners, in accordance with
Section 4.1(b). The distributions pursuant to this Section 11.2(d)(3) shall, to
the extent possible, be made

                                     -53-
<PAGE>

prior to the later of the end of the Fiscal Year in which the dissolution occurs
or the ninetieth day after the date of dissolution, or such other time period
which may be permitted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b).

           (e) If in the course of the liquidation and dissolution of the
Partnership pursuant to this Article 11, the Liquidator determines that a sale
by all the Partners to any Person of their Partnership Interests, instead of a
sale by the Partnership and the Subsidiaries of their respective assets, would
more efficiently effect the liquidation of the Partners' economic interests in
the Partnership or would reduce negative tax consequences to the Partners and
the Partnership, but would not adversely affect the rights and obligations of
either Partner (including the tax consequences to either Partner), then each
Partner agrees to sell its Partnership Interest to such Person, and the
Liquidator shall have the authority, pursuant to the power of attorney granted
in Section 16.6(b), to execute, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file, and record
all agreements, instruments, and other documents that may be necessary or
appropriate to effect the sale of such Partner's Partnership Interest.

           (f) Following the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section
11.1, the Partners will use commercially reasonable efforts to structure the
liquidation of the Partnership in a manner that minimizes negative tax
consequences to the Partners and the Partnership to the extent doing so would
not materially adversely affect either Partner (except to the extent such
Partner is adequately compensated by the other Partner for such adverse effect).
Any structure agreed to by the Partners pursuant to this Section 11.2(f) shall
supersede the other provisions of this Article 11 to the extent it is
inconsistent with such other provisions, but nothing in this Section 11.2(f)
shall modify or otherwise affect the other provisions of this Article 11 if the
Partners are unable to agree on such a structure.

     11.3  Distribution in Kind.
           --------------------

     The Partnership shall not distribute any non-cash asset to either Partner
without the consent of each Partner, except as provided in Article 9.  Any asset
distributed in kind to one or more Partners shall first be valued at its fair
market value to determine the gain or loss used in determining Net Profit or Net
Loss that would have resulted if such asset were sold for such value, such gain
or loss shall then be allocated pursuant to Article 4, and the Partners' Capital
Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect such gain or loss.  The amount distributed
and charged to the Capital Account of each Partner receiving an interest in such
distributed asset shall be the fair market value of such interest (net of any
liability secured by such asset that such Partner assumes or takes subject to).
The fair market value of any asset distributed in kind in connection with the
liquidation of the Partnership shall be determined by an independent appraiser
(any such appraiser must be nationally recognized as an expert in valuing the
type of asset involved) selected by the Liquidator.

     11.4  No Action for Dissolution.
           -------------------------

     The Partners acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the
goodwill and reputation of the Partnership if either Partner should bring an
action in court to dissolve the

                                     -54-
<PAGE>

Partnership under circumstances where dissolution is not required by Section
11.1. This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide fair treatment of all
parties and equitable payment in liquidation of the Partnership Interests of
both Partners. Accordingly, except where liquidation and dissolution are
required by Section 11.1, each Partner hereby waives and renounces its right to
initiate legal action to seek dissolution or to seek the appointment of a
receiver or trustee to liquidate the Partnership.

     11.5  No Further Claim.
           ----------------

     Upon dissolution, each Partner shall look solely to the assets of the
Partnership for the return of its investment, and if the property of the
Partnership remaining after payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of
the Partnership, including debts and liabilities owed to one or more of the
Partners, is insufficient to return the aggregate capital contributions of a
Partner, no Partner shall have any recourse against any other Partner.

                                  ARTICLE 12

                                INDEMNIFICATION

     12.1  General.

     The Partnership shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each Partner and
their respective members, partners, officers, directors, shareholders,
employees, and agents, the employees, officers, and agents of the Partnership,
and the members of the Advisory Committee (all indemnified persons being
referred to as "Indemnified Persons" for purposes of this Article 12), from any
liability, loss, or damage incurred by the Indemnified Person by reason of any
act performed or omitted to be performed by the Indemnified Person in connection
with the business of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, including costs and
attorneys' fees (which attorneys' fees may be paid as incurred) and any amounts
expended in the settlement of any claims of liability, loss, or damage;
provided, however, that, if the liability, loss, damage, or claim arises out of
any action or inaction of an Indemnified Person, indemnification under this
Section 12.1 shall not be available if the action or inaction is finally
adjudicated to have constituted fraud, gross negligence, breach of fiduciary
duty (which shall not be construed to encompass mistakes in judgment or any
breach of any Indemnified Person's duty of care that did not constitute gross
negligence), or willful misconduct by the Indemnified Person; and provided,
further, however, that indemnification under this Section 12.1 shall be
recoverable only from the assets of the Partnership and not from any assets of
the Partners.  The Partnership may pay for insurance covering liability of the
Indemnified Persons for negligence in operation of the Partnership's affairs.

     12.2  Exculpation.
           -----------

     No Indemnified Person shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the
Partnership or its Subsidiaries or to either Partner for any loss that arises
out of any act performed or omitted to be performed by it or him pursuant to the
authority granted by this Agreement unless the conduct of

                                     -55-
<PAGE>

the Indemnified Person is finally adjudicated to have constituted fraud, gross
negligence, breach of fiduciary duty (which shall not be construed to encompass
mistakes in judgment or any breach of any Indemnified Person's duty of care that
did not constitute gross negligence), or willful misconduct by such Indemnified
Person.

     12.3  Persons Entitled to Indemnity.
           -----------------------------

     Any Person who is within the definition of "Indemnified Person" at the time
of any action or inaction in connection with the business of the Partnership
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article 12 as an "Indemnified Person"
with respect thereto, regardless of whether such Person continues to be within
the definition of "Indemnified Person" at the time of his or its claim for
indemnification or exculpation hereunder.

     12.4  Procedure Agreements.
           --------------------

     The Partnership may enter into agreements with any of its Partners,
employees, officers, and agents, any of the officers, directors, shareholders,
employees, and agents of the General Partner, and any member of the Advisory
Committee or other Indemnified Person, setting forth procedures for implementing
the indemnities provided in this Article 12.

distribution of such Partnership Interest within the meaning of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities laws, and it does not intend to divide
its participation with others, nor to resell, assign, or otherwise dispose of
all or any part of its Partnership Interest.  In making such representation,
each Partner acknowledges that a purchase now with an intent to resell by reason
of any foreseeable specific contingency, some predetermined event, or an
anticipated change in market value or in the condition of the Partnership would
represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with the foregoing
representation.

           (a)   It acknowledges and agrees that the Partnership Interest is

that it cannot and will not be sold or transferred except in a transaction that
is exempt under the Securities Act and those state acts or pursuant to an
effective registration statement under those acts or in a transaction that is
otherwise in compliance with the Securities Act and those state acts.

           (b)   It understands that it has no contract right for the
registration under the Securities Act of the Partnership Interest for public
sale and that, unless such Partnership Interest is registered or an exemption
from registration is available, such Partnership Interest may be required to be
held indefinitely.

enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, as to the enforcement of
remedies, to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditor's rights).

     14.6  Tax Position.
           ------------

     Unless it provides prior written notice to the Partnership, it will not
take a position on its federal income tax return, on any claim for refund, or in
any administrative or legal proceedings that is inconsistent with any
information return filed by the Partnership or with the provisions of this
Agreement.

     14.7  Information.
           -----------

provider of Exclusive Internet Services over the cable plant and equipment of
the TCI Systems and that the TCI Systems will continue to be bound by the @Home
Distribution Agreement as if such TCI Systems were "controlled affiliates" of a
TCI Cable Parent with respect to the distribution and delivery of Exclusive
Internet Services in accordance with the @Home Distribution Agreement. In
furtherance of the foregoing, subject to the other provisions of this Section
16.1(b) and only so long as controlled affiliates of a TCI Cable Parent continue
to be bound by a similar requirement, the Partnership and the General Partner
each agree that it and the Subsidiaries will not provide or distribute, and will
not permit any Person other than @Home and its controlled affiliates to provide
or distribute, Exclusive Internet Services using the cable plant and equipment
of the TCI Systems, in each case without the prior written consent of TCI. The
Partners and the Partnership acknowledge and agree that the foregoing
limitations will not be applicable to the Partnership's and the Subsidiaries'
provision over their cable television systems other Internet Services which do
not constitute Exclusive Internet Services (including all Internet Services
which are listed as exceptions to the definition of the term "Restricted
Business" in the @Home Distribution Agreement), and with

                                     -62-
<PAGE>

respect to those Internet Services which do not constitute Exclusive Internet
Services, the General Partner shall be entitled to make all determinations in
respect of the provision of such Internet Services, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement. The Partners and the Partnership also acknowledge and agree that
the foregoing limitations are also not applicable to the Partnership's and the
Subsidiaries' provision over their cable television systems other than the TCI
Systems (such other systems, the "Non-TCI Systems") of any Internet Services,
whether or not they would constitute Exclusive Internet Services with respect to
the TCI Systems in accordance with the @Home Distribution Agreement, and do not
limit the right of the Partnership, its Subsidiaries and the General Partner to
manage and operate the Non-TCI Systems as the Partnership, its Subsidiaries and
the General Partner determine (but subject to the terms of this Agreement and
the Management Agreements). Without limiting the preceding sentence, subject to
the other provisions of this Section 16.1(b), the parties agree as follows: (A)
the Partnership and the General Partner agree that they and the Subsidiaries
will: (1) manage and operate (and cause the manager under the Management
Agreements to manage and operate) the TCI Systems in accordance with the terms
and conditions set forth in the @Home Distribution Agreement and in such a
manner that the activities and businesses engaged in by the TCI Systems will not
violate or be in contravention of the Cable Parent Exclusivity Provisions, or
cause any TCI Cable Parent or any of its controlled affiliates to be in
violation of such Cable Parent Exclusivity Provisions, (2) provide to @Home and
its representatives such access to the cable plant and equipment of the TCI
Systems as is required in order to satisfy the TCI Cable Parents' obligations
under the @Home Distribution Agreement in respect of such TCI Systems and as is
reasonably necessary in order to distribute the @Home Service over the cable
plant and equipment of such TCI Systems, (3) cooperate with @Home, TCI Cable
Parent and their respective controlled affiliates in order to schedule and
coordinate @Home's roll-out of the @Home Service to the TCI Systems with the
upgrade of the physical cable plant and equipment of such TCI Systems,
including, without limitation, (x) providing the TCI Cable Parent and @Home with
information and periodic updates as to upgrade schedules, and (y) entering into
LCO Agreements (as defined in the @Home Distribution Agreement) in respect of
each TCI System upon the commencement of the offering of the @Home Service in
such TCI System, and (4) cooperate with the TCI Cable Parent and @Home with
respect to the operational matters relating to the distribution of the @Home
Service, including, without limitation, pricing, the programming of the Local
Area (as defined in the @Home Distribution Agreement), billing, customer service
and service offerings; and (B) (1) with respect to the timing and implementation
of Exclusive Internet Services over the TCI Systems, the General Partner shall
consult and cooperate with the TCI Cable Parent in order to coordinate the
launch of the @Home Service over the TCI Systems as efficiently and
expeditiously as practical and (2) the TCI Cable Parent may disclose to @Home
information relating to the upgrade plans for the TCI Systems for the purpose of
coordinating the @Home build-out and the launch of the @Home Service in such
systems. Subject to the Partnership's, the Subsidiaries' and the General
Partner's compliance with the foregoing, the TCI Cable Parent agrees that it
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for the benefit of the
TCI Systems the economic and other benefits available to a controlled affiliate
of a TCI Cable Parent under the @Home Distribution Agreement, on the same basis
as, and for so long as, such benefits are available to other controlled
affiliates of the TCI Cable Parent, including, but not limited to, the benefits
available under the MFN Provision

                                     -63-
<PAGE>

(as defined in the @Home Distribution Agreement) and the ability to purchase
Ancillary Services (as defined in the @Home Distribution Agreement) from @Home
for the TCI Systems to the extent provided in the @Home Distribution Agreement
and as are reasonably necessary to the distribution of the Exclusive Internet
Services on the TCI Systems. TCI's obligations under the foregoing sentence will
terminate if the Partnership exercises its option set forth below to terminate
its obligation to manage the TCI Systems in accordance with the terms of the
@Home Distribution Agreement or if the Partnership or any Subsidiary enters into
a separate distribution agreement with @Home that covers the TCI Systems. In the
event the @Home Distribution Agreement is amended or modified in such a way as
would reasonably be expected to cause the terms and conditions of the
Partnership's or the Subsidiaries' distribution of the @Home Service over the
TCI Systems to be materially more onerous to the Partnership or its Subsidiaries
than as provided in the @Home Distribution Agreement as in effect on October 1,
1999, the TCI Cable Parent shall promptly notify the Partnership and the
Partnership shall then have the option to terminate its obligation to manage the
TCI Systems in accordance with the terms of the @Home Distribution Agreement;
provided that the Partnership's agreement not to provide or distribute, or
permit any Person to provide or distribute, any Exclusive Internet Services
using the cable plant and equipment of the TCI Systems, other than the @Home
Service, shall survive such termination. No amendment to the @Home Distribution
Agreement shall be deemed to cause the terms and conditions of the Partnership's
distribution of the @Home Service over the TCI Systems to be materially more
onerous to the Partnership (x) to the extent that such amendment or modification
does not result in such distribution being more onerous than that provided under
any separate agreement between the Partnership or any Subsidiary and @Home
relating to the distribution of the @Home Service to the Non-TCI Systems or (y)
if the Partnership or any Subsidiary consents to an amendment or modification of
any separate agreement between the Partnership and @Home in respect of the
distribution of the @Home Service to the Non-TCI Systems, which amendment or
modification has substantially the same effects as the proposed amendment or
modification of the @Home Distribution Agreement. For so long as the TCI Systems
are included under the @Home Distribution Agreement, to the extent the @Home
Distribution Agreement is modified in any respect (or any other event occurs)
that would increase the benefits available to (or reduces the obligations of) a
controlled affiliate of a TCI Cable Parent, the TCI Cable Parent will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for the benefit of the TCI Systems
such increased benefits, and to the extent the obligations are reduced, the TCI
Cable Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such reduced
obligations to be applicable to the TCI Systems, in each case on the same basis
as is applicable to controlled affiliates of the TCI Cable Parent other than the
TCI Systems. For purposes of this Section 16.1(b), the TCI Systems shall,
notwithstanding ownership by the Partnership or a Subsidiary, continue to be
deemed to be controlled affiliates of a TCI Cable Parent for purposes of
determining the Partnership's satisfaction of its obligations to operate and
manage the TCI Systems in accordance with the @Home Distribution Agreement.

          (2)   In addition, the Partnership and the General Partner agree to
use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep in effect a distribution
agreement for the @Home Service for the cable television systems contributed to
Insight Communications Midwest by Insight Communications and for the Insight
Systems and the Exchange System and for all other

                                     -64-
<PAGE>

cable televisions owned by the Partnership and its Subsidiaries (other than the
Insight Central Ohio Systems). To the extent that TCI is not able to include the
TCI Systems under the @Home Distribution Agreement following the closing under
the Indiana Contribution Agreement or the Closing under the Illinois
Contribution Agreement, as applicable, the Partnership or its Subsidiaries may
enter into a distribution agreement with @Home that covers the applicable TCI
Systems and terminate its obligation to manage the applicable TCI Systems in
accordance with the @Home Distribution Agreement; provided, that such agreement
shall be approved by TCI as it relates to the TCI Systems and provided further
that the Partnership's obligations under this Section 16.1(b) to (i) have @Home
be the exclusive provider of Exclusive Internet Services over the cable plant
and equipment of the TCI Systems, (ii) not provide or distribute or permit any
other Person to provide or distribute Exclusive Internet Services using the
cable plant and equipment of the TCI Systems and (iii) manage the TCI Systems in
such a manner that the activities and business engaged in by them will not
violate or be in contravention of the Cable Parent Exclusivity Provisions will
not cause any TCI Cable Parent or its controlled affiliates to be in violation
of such provisions will continue notwithstanding such separate agreement being
entered into.

          (c)   The Partnership shall continue to carry the Starz! and Encore
(including Encore Plex) programming services on the AT&T Systems and the Sale
Systems until the expiration of the present term of the applicable SSI
affiliation agreement and upon the terms and conditions of the applicable SSI
affiliation agreement as in effect on the date of this Agreement.  The
Partnership will use its commercially reasonable efforts to carry the Starz! and
Encore (including Encore Plex) programming services on the Insight Systems and
the Exchange System on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Insight.

          (d)   The Partnership shall continue to carry the following
programming services on the AT&T Systems and the Sale Systems on which such
programming services are carried as of the date of this Agreement, until
expiration of the present term of the applicable SSI affiliation agreement and
upon the terms and conditions of the applicable SSI affiliation agreement as in
effect on the date of this Agreement .
