 5Amended and Restated Guaranty

 Exhibit 10.6 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY, dated as of April 3, 2007, by Knology, Inc. (the “Borrower”) and each of the entities listed on the signature pages
hereof or that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 24 (Additional Guarantors) hereof (each a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, together with the Borrower, collectively, the “Guarantors” and individually
a “Guarantor”), in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each Issuer and each other holder of an Obligation (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) (each, a
“Guarantied Party” and, collectively, the “Guarantied Parties”). 
 W I T
N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower, the lenders and issuers party thereto from time to time, Credit Suisse, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Existing Agent”) are parties to the First
Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2005 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and the Borrower has requested, and the other
parties to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) have agreed, that the Existing Credit Agreement would be amended and restated to, among other things, to increase the term loan facility thereunder in the aggregate principal amount of $345,000,000;

 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2007 (together with all
appendices, exhibits and schedules thereto and as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms defined therein and used herein having the meanings
given to them in the Credit Agreement), among the Borrower, the Lenders and Issuers party thereto, Credit Suisse, acting through one or more of its branches, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and issuers named therein (in
such capacity, the “Agent”), Jefferies & Company, Inc., as syndication agent and Royal Bank of Canada and CIT Lending Services Corporation, as co-documentation agents, the lenders and issuers have severally agreed to make
extensions of credit to the Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; 
 WHEREAS, each
Subsidiary Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower; 
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor will receive substantial
direct and indirect benefits from the making of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the granting of the other financial accommodations to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders and the Issuers to make their respective extensions of credit to the
Borrower under the Credit Agreement is that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty for the benefit of the Guarantied Parties; and 
 Whereas, this Guaranty, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, shall amend and restate, in its entirety, the guaranty, dated as of June 29, 2005 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time prior to the date hereof, the 

 AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 
“Existing Guaranty”) entered into by the guarantors from time to time party thereto and (ii) from and after the Effective Date, the
Existing Guaranty shall be of no further force or effect, except to evidence the obligations incurred, the representations and warranties made, and the actions or omissions performed or required to be performed, thereunder prior to the Effective
Date; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions contained
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1 Guaranty 
 (a) To induce the Lenders to make the Loans and the Issuers to issue
Letters of Credit, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due and in the currency
due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance herewith or any other Loan Document, of all the Obligations, whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished or hereafter
increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, whether or not enforceable as against the Borrower, whether now or hereafter existing, and whether due or to become due, including
principal, interest (including interest at the contract rate applicable upon default accrued or accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any applicable provisions of comparable state or foreign law, whether or
not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding), fees and costs of collection. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection. 
 (b) Each Guarantor further agrees that, if (i) any payment made by Borrower or any other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or (ii) the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Guarantied Party to the Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any
Guarantor, under any bankruptcy law, equitable cause or any other Requirement of Law, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any such Guarantor’s liability hereunder (and any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability) shall be
and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, this Guaranty shall have been cancelled or surrendered (and if any Lien or other Collateral securing such Guarantor’s
liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), this Guaranty (and such Lien or other Collateral) shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall
not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Guarantor in respect of the amount of such payment (or any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation). 
 Section 2 Limitation of Guaranty 
 Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations for which any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for
which such Subsidiary Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer
(including Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or 

  

 2 

 AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 
any applicable provisions of comparable state law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect (a) to
all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of intercompany Indebtedness
to the Borrower to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) and (b) to the value as assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (as determined under the
applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable Requirements of Law,
(ii) Section 3 (Contribution) of this Guaranty or (iii) any other Contractual Obligations providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations
arising under this Guaranty or other guaranties of the Obligations by such parties. 
 Section 3 Contribution 

To the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of the Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the
amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans and the other financial accommodations provided to the Borrower under the Loan Documents and (b) the amount such
Subsidiary Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Subsidiary Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s net worth
at the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the date enforcement is sought hereunder, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Subsidiary Guarantors for the amount of
such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worths of such other Subsidiary Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder is sought. 
 Section 4 Authorization; Other Agreements 
 The Guarantied Parties are hereby authorized, without notice to, or
demand upon, any Guarantor, which notice and demand requirements each are expressly waived hereby, and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (which obligations shall remain absolute and unconditional
notwithstanding any such action or omission to act), from time to time, to do each of the following: 
 (a) supplement, renew, extend,
accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, the Obligations, or any part of them, or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument (including the
other Loan Documents) now or hereafter executed by the Borrower and delivered to the Guarantied Parties or any of them, including any increase or decrease of principal or the rate of interest thereon; 
 (b) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other
instrument or agreement in respect of the Obligations (including the other Loan Documents) now or hereafter executed by the Borrower and delivered to the Guarantied Parties or any of them; 
 (c) accept partial payments on the Obligations; 
  

 3 

 AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (d) receive, take and hold additional security or collateral for the payment of the Obligations or
any part of them and exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, transfer, otherwise alter and release any such additional security or collateral; 
 (e) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Obligations or accept, substitute, release, exchange or otherwise alter, affect or
impair any security or collateral for the Obligations or any part of them or any other guaranty therefor, in any manner; 
 (f) add, release
or substitute any one or more other guarantors, makers or endorsers of the Obligations or any part of them and otherwise deal with the Borrower or any other guarantor, maker or endorser; 
 (g) apply to the Obligations any payment or recovery (x) from the Borrower, from any other guarantor, maker or endorser of the Obligations or any
part of them or (y) from any Guarantor in such order as provided herein, in each case whether such Obligations are secured or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by others; 
 (h) apply to the Obligations any payment or recovery from any Guarantor of the Obligations or any sum realized from security furnished by such Guarantor
upon its indebtedness or obligations to the Guarantied Parties or any of them, in each case whether or not such indebtedness or obligations relate to the Obligations; and 
 (i) refund at any time any payment received by any Guarantied Party in respect of any Obligation, and payment to such Guarantied Party of the amount so refunded shall be fully guaranteed hereby even though prior
thereto this Guaranty shall have been cancelled or surrendered (or any release or termination of any Collateral by virtue thereof), and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder in respect of the amount so refunded (and any Collateral so released or terminated shall be reinstated with respect to such obligations); 
 even if any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor is extinguished, affected or impaired by any of the foregoing (including any election of remedies by reason of any judicial,
non-judicial or other proceeding in respect of the Obligations that impairs any subrogation, reimbursement or other right of such Guarantor). 
 Section 5 Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional 
 Each Guarantor hereby waives any defense of a surety or guarantor
or any other obligor on any obligations arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged or otherwise affected as a
result of any of the following: 
 (a) the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement
or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any security for, or other guaranty of the Obligations or any part of them, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any
security for the Obligations or any part of them; 
  

 4 

 AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 (b) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations or any part of them from the Borrower or
other action to enforce the same; 
 (c) failure by any Guarantied Party to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or to
preserve any rights to, any Collateral; 
 (d) any Guarantied Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state or foreign law; 
 (e) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, or extension of credit, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state or foreign law;

 (f) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of any Guarantied Party’s claim (or
claims) for repayment of the Obligations; 
 (g) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; 
 (h) any agreement or stipulation as to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding; 
 (i) the avoidance of any Lien in favor of the Guarantied Parties or any of them for any reason; 
 (j) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against the
Borrower, any Guarantor or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, any Obligation (or any part of them or interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding; 

(k) failure by any Guarantied Party to file or enforce a claim against the Borrower or its estate in any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding;

 (l) any action taken by any Guarantied Party if such action is authorized hereby; 
 (m) any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Guarantied Party to proceed separately against the personal property Collateral
in accordance with such Guarantied Party’s rights under the UCC or, if the Collateral consists of both personal and real property, to proceed against such personal and real property in accordance with such Guarantied Party’s rights with
respect to such real property; or 
 (n) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of
a surety or guarantor or any other obligor on any obligations, other than the payment in full of the Obligations.

 AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 Section 6 Waivers 
 Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, promptness, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, notice of acceptance
and any other notice in respect of the Obligations or any part of them, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower. Each Guarantor shall not, until the Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the
Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated, assert any claim or counterclaim it may have against the Borrower or set off any of its obligations to the Borrower against any obligations of the Borrower to it. In connection with the foregoing,
each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, except by complete performance. 
 Section 7
Reliance 
 Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and
any endorser and other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees
that no Guarantied Party shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Guarantied Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to
time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, such Guarantied Party shall be under no obligation (a) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) to disclose any information that such Guarantied
Party, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor. 
 Section 8 Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution Rights 
 The Guarantors hereby waive any right of subrogation to any of the rights of the Guarantied Parties or any part of them against the Borrower or any Guarantor or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar
right against the Borrower or any Guarantor by reason of this Agreement or by any payment made by any Guarantor in respect of the Obligations. 
 Section 9 Subordination 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any Indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter
owing to any Guarantor, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Guarantor Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the Obligations and that, except as permitted under Section 8.5 (Restricted
Payments) of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until the Obligations have been paid in full and this Guaranty is terminated and of no further force or effect. No Guarantor shall accept
any payment of or on account of any Guarantor Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent any payment of
all or any part of the Guarantor Subordinated Debt and any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent shall be applied to payment of the Obligations as provided in Section 2.13(f) (Payments and Computations) of the Credit Agreement.
Each payment on the Guarantor Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Guarantied Parties and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent
immediately on 

  

 6 

 AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 
account of the Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner such Guarantor’s liability hereof. Each Guarantor agrees to file all claims
against the Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Guarantor Subordinated Debt, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of such Guarantor’s rights
thereunder. If for any reason a Guarantor fails to file such claim at least ten Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact and is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Guarantor’s name to file such claim or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the
Administrative Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the
proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Guarantor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of such Guarantor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Guarantor otherwise would be entitled. If
the amount so paid is greater than such Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto. In addition, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its
attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Guarantor’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of the Borrower. 
 Section 10 Default; Remedies 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent
of and separate from the Obligations. If any Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default hereunder or upon any default by the Borrower as provided in any other instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations,
the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed or direct the Collateral Agent to proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Obligations then due,
without first proceeding against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations, or against any Collateral under the Loan Documents or joining the Borrower or any other guarantor in any proceeding against any Guarantor. At any time after
maturity of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may (unless the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full), without notice to any Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any Collateral for the payment hereof,
appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from any Guarantied Party to such Guarantor and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to such Guarantor at any time held by
or coming into the possession of any Guarantied Party or any of its respective Affiliates. 
 Section 11 Irrevocability 

 This Guaranty shall be irrevocable as to the Obligations (or any part thereof) until the Commitments have been terminated and all monetary
Obligations then outstanding have been irrevocably repaid in cash, at which time this Guaranty shall automatically be cancelled. Upon such cancellation and at the written request of any Guarantor or its successors or assigns, and at the cost and
expense of such Guarantor or its successors or assigns, the Administrative Agent shall execute in a timely manner a satisfaction of this Guaranty and such instruments, documents or agreements as are necessary or desirable to evidence the termination
of this Guaranty.

 AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 

KNOLOGY, INC. 
  

 Section 12 Setoff 
 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Guarantied Party and each Affiliate of a Guarantied Party may, without notice
to any Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of all or any part of the Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from such
Guarantied Party or Affiliate to such Guarantor and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to such Guarantor, at any time held by, or coming into, the possession of such Guarantied Party or Affiliate. 
 Section 13 No Marshalling 
 Each Guarantor consents and agrees that no Guarantied Party or Person acting for or on behalf of any Guarantied Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of
the Obligations. 
 Section 14 Enforcement; Amendments; Waivers 
 No delay on the part of any Guarantied Party in the exercise of any right or remedy arising under this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise with respect to all or any part of the Obligations, the Collateral or any other guaranty of or security for all or any part of the Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any such
Person of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty shall be binding upon any Guarantied Party, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and
delivered by the party making such modification or waiver. Failure by any Guarantied Party at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations or any
other Person of any provision, warranty, term or condition contained in any Loan Document now or at any time hereafter executed by any such Persons and delivered to any Guarantied Party shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Guarantied
Party at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of any Guarantied Party, or its respective agents, officers or employees, unless such waiver is
contained in an instrument in writing, directed and delivered to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, specifying such waiver, and is signed by the party or parties necessary to give such waiver under the Credit Agreement. No waiver of any
Event of Default by any Guarantied Party shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or the same Event of Default on a future occasion, and no action by any Guarantied Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair any
Guarantied Party’s rights and remedies or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal or interest owing by the Borrower to a Guarantied Party shall
be conclusive and binding on each Guarantor irrespective of whether such Guarantor was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.
