          any manner, restrict, interfere with, delay or otherwise affect the
          delivery, storage, handling, rigging, boring, drilling, lashing of any
          and all laborers, materials or equipment. Subcontractor agrees that no
          additional charge shall be made by reason of any such conditions,
          ordinances, regulations or restrictions.

THIS SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT, the provisions of the contract between the
Contractor and the Owner, and any other Contract Documents are intended to
supplement and complement each other and shall, where possible, be thus
interpreted. If, however any provision of this Subcontract Agreement
irreconcilably conflicts with a provision of the Contract between the Contractor
and the Owner, the provision imposing the greater duty or obligation on the
Subcontractor shall govern.

Although this Subcontract is drawn by Midwest Cable Communications of Arkansas,
Inc., it shall, in the event of any dispute over its meaning or application be
interpreted fairly and reasonable and neither more strongly for nor against
either party.

2.5       All work shall be performed in accordance with the plans and
          specifications. Subcontractor shall conform to and abide by any
          additional specifications, drawings or explanations prepared by the
          Owner or its engineers in order to illustrate the Work to be done in
          greater detail, provided they do not enlarge the Work without an
          agreed price adjustment.

2.6       Subcontractor acknowledges its express duty to cooperate and to
          actively coordinate its Work with that of the Contractor, Owner or
          other subcontractors participating in the construction of the "plant"
          or any portion of the Project and that Subcontractor shall not
          directly or indirectly delay, impede, or otherwise impair the work of
          others or the timely progression of the overall Project.

2.7       Subcontractor shall be responsible to obtain markings of all utilities
          prior to beginning its work, as well as any inspections or approval by
          any governmental agencies. It shall also be responsible to obtain any
          and all interim or final inspections for its scope of work.

Section 3:
-----------

3.1       Subcontractor shall begin its Work as soon as instructed by Contractor
          and shall carry on its Work promptly, efficiently, safely and at a
          speed that will not cause delay, disruption or interface in the
          progress of Contractor's overall work or other portions of the Project
          work carried on by other contractors or subcontractors. Contractor may
          require Subcontractor to prosecute in preference to other parts of the
          Work, such part or parts as Contractor may from time to time specify.

3.2       If the Contractor requests, the Subcontractor shall, at the time
          specified in such request, submit to Contractor, progress,
          procurement, and/or man-hour completion schedules, as well as detailed
          method statements, from time to time. Contractor's receipt and review
          of such schedules shall not preclude the Contractor from otherwise
          adjusting such schedules and method statements from time to time, to
          comply with the overall needs of the Project.

3.3       Contractor shall not be liable to Subcontractor for delay, disruption
          or interference to Subcontractor's Work caused by the act, omission,
          neglect or default of the Owner or its Engineers, or their respective
          contractors, subcontractors, employees, servants, agents or
          consultants, or by reason of fire or other casualty, or on account of
          strikes, riots, or other combined actions of the workmen or budget
          changes by the Owner, or on account of any acts of God, or any other
          cause beyond the Contractor's direct control; provided however,
          Contractor will cooperate with Subcontractor to submit any just claims
          against the Owner or engineers for delay, disruption or interference
          directly attributable to their actions.

3.4       Subcontractor shall not be liable to Contractor for delay, disruption
          or interference to Contractor's Work caused by the act, omission,
          neglect or default of the Owner or its Engineers, or their respective
          Contractors, Subcontractors, employees, servants, agents or
          consultants, or by reason of fire or other casualty, or on account of
          strikes, riots, or other combined actions of the workmen or budget
          changes by the Owner, or on account of any acts of God, or any other
          cause beyond the Subcontractor's direct control; provided however,
          Subcontractor will cooperate with Contractor to submit any just claims
          against the Owner or engineers for delay, disruption or interference
          directly attributable to their actions.

3.5       Should Subcontractor's Work be delayed, disrupted or interfered with
          solely as a result of acts, or omissions of the Contractor, or anyone
          employed by the Contractor on the Project, then Contractor shall owe
          Subcontractor only an extension of time for completion equal to the
          delay, disruption or interference, and then only if a written claim
          for delay by Contractor or anyone employed by Contractor on the
          project is made to Contractor within a reasonable time after the
          commencement of such delay, disruption or interference directly
          attributable to their actions.

3.6       Subcontractor shall remove from the premises all rubbish and surplus
          materials which may accumulate from the prosecution of Subcontractor's
          work and should Subcontractor fail to do so, Contractor may, at his
          option, remove same at Subcontractor's expense, and take the costs
          thereof from any funds due Subcontractor.

3.7       Except as provided above, any damages may be claimed by the Contractor
          for delay, disruption or interference caused by Subcontractor without
          in any way limiting the option of Contractor to terminate the
          Subcontractor for default, as herein elsewhere provided.

Section 4: (SAFETY)
-------------------

4.1       Subcontractor shall provide safe and sufficient facilities at all
          times for its workmen, and shall not perform, or fail to perform, any
          act which would cause the Project site to be unsafe, at any location.
          Subcontractor shall provide safe and sufficient facilities at all
          times for inspection of the Work by the Owner, Contractor or any
          governmental agencies.

4.2       Subcontractor agrees that the prevention of accidents to workers
          engaged in the vicinity of the Work is its responsibility, and agrees
          to comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, codes,
          orders, notices and requirements concerning safety as shall be
          applicable to the Work, and with the safety standards established
          during the progress of the work by the Contractor and the Occupational
          Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or any other municipal
          inspector. When so ordered, the Subcontractor shall stop any part of
          the Work which the Contractor, OSHA, or any other municipal inspector
          deems unsafe until corrective measures satisfactory to the Contractor
          have been taken, and the Subcontractor agrees that it shall not have
          nor make any claim for damages growing out of such stoppage. Should
          the Subcontractor neglect to take corrective measures, the Contractor
          may do so at the cost and expense of the Subcontractor. Failure on the
          part of the Contractor to stop unsafe practices shall in no way
          relieve the Subcontractor of its responsibility therefore.

          Contractor may recover from the Subcontractor, all fines and costs
          incurred by the Contractor due to Safety Violations caused in whole or
          in part by the actions of Subcontractor. Subcontractor is required to
          provide proof of Subcontractor's Safety and Hazard Material Program
          within ten (10) days of the date of the Subcontract Agreement.

Section 5: (RESPONSIBILITY AS TO PROSECUTION OF WORK)

          equipment and a sufficient number of properly skilled workmen and
          sufficient amount of materials and/or supplies of proper quality to
          efficiently, safely and promptly prosecute the Work in accordance with
          the Contractor's schedule, as the same may be adjusted from time to
          time, and shall promptly pay for all materials purchased and shall pay
          all workmen each week. When requested by Contractor, Subcontractor
          shall obtain and furnish to Contractor, weekly, with two (2) copies of
          payroll verified by affidavit as well as evidence to verify that all
          taxes and contributions to applicable employee benefit plans are
          current.

5.2       Subcontractor shall exercise its personal supervision of the Work or
          have a competent foreman, superintendent, or Project Manager

          progress, with authority to act for Subcontractor.

Section 6:
-----------

6.1       Subcontractor shall turn the Work over to Contractor in good condition
          in strict accordance with the Contract Documents. Subcontractor
          warrants that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by a
          payment application from Subcontractor shall pass to the Owner either
          upon incorporation in the Project, or upon payment by Contractor,
          which ever occurs first and, upon payment, free and clear of all
          claims, liens, security interests or encumbrances, hereinafter
          collectively as "liens."

6.2       Subcontractor shall, at its own cost and expense, including attorney's
          fees and costs, defend all suits to establish such liens, and pay any
          such liens so established. Once Subcontractor becomes aware of any
          such liens, Subcontractor shall promptly communicate such information
          to Contractor. If deemed necessary to protect the Contractor or Owner,

          amount due or to become due each of them. Similar statements may be
          required from any subcontractor or supplier of any tier of the
          Subcontractor. Contractor may also require Subcontractor to provide
          Contractor with copies of all of its subcontractors and purchase

          persons, whether an employee of Subcontractor or of any of its
          subcontractors or suppliers of any tier or otherwise; provided,
          however, Subcontractor's duty hereunder shall not arise if such
          claims, suits or liability are caused by the negligence of Contractor,
          Owner or any other subcontractor. Contractor shall defend, indemnify
          and hold harmless, the Owner, the Subcontractor and their respective
          officers, agents, servants and employees from and against any and all

          written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to
          which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit the indemnifying party
          to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
          satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the
          indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any
          settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such
          consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnified party
          shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense
          of a claim and shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party

          behind schedule, Contractor shall have the right to increase retainage
          but not to exceed 10% withheld or delay paying final retainage on any
          portion, until Subcontractor's Work is acceptable and up to date.

Section 9: (DISPUTES)
---------------------

9.1       Unless another remedy is provided elsewhere in this Subcontract
          Agreement, in the event any claim or dispute arises out of the
          Subcontract Agreement (a "Dispute"), either party may request that the
          parties meet within ten (10) business days of such request and seek to
          resolve the Dispute by negotiations of the appropriate officers of
          each party, with the request for resolution being passed to each
          officer at the next higher level in authority, in turn. If the Dispute
          is not settled through such negotiation within ten (10) business days
          of the first such meeting, either of the parties may request that the
          parties then attempt, in good faith, to settle the Dispute through
          nonbinding mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the
          American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If the parties cannot settle
          the Dispute through such mediation, then any Dispute shall be resolved
          by arbitration by a single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law,
          in accordance with the applicable rules of the AAA, and any judgment
          upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
          having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions
          of this section, the right of either party to indemnification or
          contribution may, at the sole option of the party entitled to
          indemnification or contribution, be enforced in a court having
          jurisdiction thereof through any allowable procedure. The arbitrator
          shall not have authority to award punitive damages. Each party shall
          bear its own costs and attorneys' fees, and shall be determined under
          federal law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may cancel or
          terminate this Subcontract Agreement in accordance with its terms and
          conditions without being required to follow the procedures set forth
          in this section.

          into liquidation or dissolution, either voluntarily or involuntarily
          or under a court order, or make a general assignment for the benefit

          advanced to Contractor by Owner for Subcontractor and debit
          Subcontractor's account; or may, at its discretion, pay at any time,
          claims for labor, materials, equipment or supplies used in the Work
          and Subcontractor shall pay Contractor the amount of any such payments
          upon demand.

10.4      Should Subcontractor default in any of the provisions of this
          Subcontract Agreement and should Contractor employ an attorney to

          Subcontract Agreement, or to recover on any bonds or letters of credit
          provided by Subcontractor to Contractor, then Subcontractor and its
          surety, if applicable, agree to pay Contractor such attorney's fees
          and costs as it may expend therein. As against the obligations herein
          contained, Subcontractor and its surety waive all rights of exemption.

10.5      Should Contractor default in any of the provisions of the Subcontract
          Agreement and should Subcontractor employ an attorney to enforce any
          provision hereof, or to collect damages for breach of the Subcontract
          Agreement, or to recover on any bonds or letters of credit provided by
          Contractor to Subcontractor, then Contractor and its surety, if
          applicable, agree to pay Subcontractor such attorney's fees and costs
          as it may expend therein. As against the obligations herein contained,
          Contractor and its surety waive all rights of exemption.

10.6      The rights and remedies granted to Contractor under this Article and
          pursuant to the other provisions of this Subcontract Agreement, shall
          be cumulative and are not intended to be in lieu of any legal right or
          remedy which Contractor may have against Subcontractor for breach of
