at the Closing pursuant to Section 3.3(a) (the "Purchase Price"), and as
further adjusted post-Closing pursuant to Section 3.3(b) (as so adjusted, the
"Adjusted Purchase Price").  The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the
Sellers as set forth in Schedule 1.1A.

         3.2     Manner and Time of Closing and Payment.  The closing of the
transactions contemplated herein (the "Closing") shall take place at 9:00 a.m.

Sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.9, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.6 hereof, but, subject to Section

Escrow Agent's instructions.

         3.3     Adjustment of Purchase Price.

                 (a)      The Purchase Price payable to each Seller shall be
subject to adjustment, as of 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing
Date, to reflect, in accordance with GAAP, the principle that all revenues and
refunds, and all costs, expenses and liabilities, attributable to the operation
of such Seller's Systems for any period prior to such time on the Closing Date
are for the account of the applicable Seller, and all revenues and refunds, and
all costs, expenses and liabilities (other than liabilities and obligations
under contracts or other obligations of such Seller that Buyer does not assume)
attributable to the operation of such Seller's Systems from and after such time
on the Closing Date are for the account of Buyer.  The adjustments to be made to
the Purchase Price payable to each Seller pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) shall
consist of the following:

                          (i)     an increase in the Purchase Price by an
amount equal to the sum of:

                                  (A)      all prepaid items relating to the
ownership or operation of the Assets or the Systems and for which Buyer will
receive a benefit after the Closing, which prepaid items shall be prorated
between the applicable Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date on the basis of
the period covered by the respective prepayment, and shall be deemed to
include, without limitation, all such prepaid items attributable to:  real and
personal property taxes and assessments levied against the Assets; real and
personal property rentals; pole rentals; and power and utility charges; and

                                  (B)      the amount of the Accounts
Receivable with respect to such Seller; and

                          (ii)    a decrease in the Purchase Price by an amount
equal to the sum of:

                                  (A)      the amount of all subscriber
prepayments, credit balances and deposits held by Seller as of the Closing Date
with respect to such Seller's Systems;

                                  (B)      all accrued and unpaid expenses
relating to the ownership or operation of such Seller's Assets and Systems,
including accrued and unpaid franchise fees (which accrued and unpaid expenses
shall be prorated between such Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date on the
basis of the period to which the respective expense relates, and shall be
deemed to include, without limitation, accrued and unpaid expenses of the kind
itemized in Section 3.3(a)(i)(A) above);

                                  (C)      in the event that the total number
of Subscribers on the Closing Date is less than 16,800, the product of the
Subscriber Adjustment Amount with respect to such Seller and the number of
Subscribers by which the actual number of Subscribers in such Seller's Systems
on the Closing Date is less than the amount of the Minimum Subscriber Number
allocated to such Seller, as set forth in Schedule 1.1A.

                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>   19
                                  (D)      with respect to Transferred
Employees, accrued obligations for vacation and sick days, subject to Section
6.6(c); and

                                  (E)      any amounts by which the Purchase
Price is decreased pursuant to Section 6.12(a), (b) or (c) or Section 6.14.

Sellers shall deliver to Buyer, not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to
the Closing Date, a certificate signed by Sellers (the "Pre-Closing
Certificate"), which shall specify each Seller's good faith best estimate of
the adjustments to the Purchase Price payable to such Seller required under
this Section 3.3(a) above, calculated as of the Closing Date and prepared
consistent with GAAP.  The Pre-Closing Certificate shall be accompanied by
reasonably detailed documentation supporting the calculations set forth
therein.  Buyer shall have the right to challenge the content of the
Pre-Closing Certificate within four (4) Business Days of delivery if Buyer
believes, in good faith, that it is in error.  Buyer and the applicable Seller
shall use good faith efforts to resolve any disputes with respect to the
Pre-Closing Certificate(s) prior to the Closing Date.  If any such dispute is
not resolved prior to the Closing, the amount of the Purchase Price paid to the
applicable Seller(s) at Closing shall be based on the adjustments to the
Purchase Price for such Seller(s) set forth in the Pre-Closing Certificate.

          (b)        Within 120 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall
deliver to Sellers a certificate signed by Buyer (the "Post-Closing
Certificate"), which shall set forth Buyer's final adjustments to the Purchase
Price payable to each Seller to be made as of the Closing Date pursuant to
Section 3.3(a) above, together with such documentation as may be necessary to
support Buyer's determination thereof; and, thereafter, Buyer shall provide
each Seller with such other documentation relating to the Post-Closing
Certificate as such Seller may reasonably request.  If a Seller wishes to
dispute the final adjustments to the Purchase Price to be made as of the
Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.3(a) above, as reflected in the Post-Closing
Certificate, such Seller shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of
the Post-Closing Certificate, serve Buyer with a written description of the
disputed items together with such documentation as Buyer may reasonably
request.  If any Seller notifies Buyer of its acceptance of the amounts set
forth in the Post-Closing Certificate, or if Seller fails to deliver its report
of any proposed adjustments within the thirty (30)-day period specified in the
preceding sentence, the amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Certificate for
such Seller shall be conclusive, final and binding on Buyer and such Seller as
of the last day of such thirty (30)-day period.  If Buyer and any Seller cannot
resolve any dispute within thirty (30) days after Buyer's receipt of such
Seller's written objection, Buyer and such Seller, shall, within the ten (10)
days following expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, appoint KPMG or such
other independent public accounting firm of national reputation as is agreed
upon by the parties to resolve the dispute, provided such firm is not the
auditor for either Buyer or the applicable Seller.  The cost of retaining such
firm shall be borne one-half by Buyer and one-half by such Seller.  Such firm
shall report its determination in writing to Buyer and the applicable Seller,
and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer and the
applicable Seller and shall not be subject to further dispute or review.

          (c)        If, as a result of any resolution reached by Buyer and any
Seller, or any determination made by an accounting firm, in either case
pursuant to Section 3.3(b), Buyer is finally determined to owe any amount to
any Seller, or any Seller is finally determined to owe

                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>   20
any amount to Buyer, the obligor shall pay such amount to the other party
hereto within three (3) Business Days of such determination.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Buyer shall pay to the applicable Seller or such Seller shall
pay to Buyer, as the case may be, the amount due such other party with respect
to any item that is not in dispute within three (3) Business Days of the date
on which a dispute no longer exists in immediately available funds to an
account or accounts specified in writing by the obligee.  Sellers acknowledge
and agree that any amount determined to be payable to Buyer by any Seller
pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall be paid by such Seller and shall not be
limited by nor disbursed from the Indemnity Fund.

         3.4     Instrument of Assignment and Assumption.  At the Closing,
Buyer and each Seller will execute and deliver a Bill of Sale and Assignment
and Assumption Agreement, in the form of Exhibit C (the "Bill of Sale and
Assignment and Assumption Agreements").

         3.5     Deposit Escrow Agreement.  Concurrent with the execution
hereof Buyer and Sellers shall execute and deliver the Deposit Escrow
Agreement, and Buyer shall deposit the Deposit Amount with the Escrow Agent in
accordance with the terms thereof.

         3.6     Purchase Price Allocation.  Buyer and each Seller will use
good faith efforts to agree on the allocation of the Purchase Price payable to
such Seller among the Assets being conveyed by such Seller. As soon as
practicable following the date hereof, Buyer shall deliver to each Seller a
proposed allocation with respect to such Seller.  Buyer and Sellers shall file
the form required to be filed under Section 1060 of the Code consistent with
such allocation.

4.       Representations And Warranties Of Seller.

preceding sentence.  Prior to Closing each Seller shall, with respect to its
Employees, take all actions reasonably necessary to comply with the WARN Act,
if applicable, and any applicable comparable state laws.  Seller shall pay when
required all compensation and shall provide all benefits to its respective
Employees as are required, and, except as set forth in Section 6.6(b) Seller
shall retain liability for all obligations and liabilities owed to its
respective Employees that relate to periods prior to the Closing Date.

                 (b)      Buyer shall offer group health plan coverage to all
Transferred Employees and their spouses and eligible dependents who are covered
on the Closing Date under a group health plan maintained or contributed to by
Sellers, and such coverage shall be the same, and shall be subject to the same
terms and conditions, as Buyer provides to similarly situated employees,
provided that such coverage shall be effective as of the Closing and that no
pre-existing condition limitation shall be applied to any such Transferred
Employees, their spouses and eligible dependents unless, and only to the same
extent that, such persons are subject to pre-existing condition limitations
under Sellers' group health plan.  Each Seller shall have full responsibility
and liability for offering and providing "continuation coverage" to any
"covered employee" who is an Employee, and to any "qualified beneficiary" of
such Employee, and who is covered by a "group health plan" sponsored or
contributed to by such Seller (all such group

                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>   31
health plans of Sellers individually and collectively called "Sellers' Health
Plans") to the extent that such continuation coverage is required to be
provided by such Seller under Code Section 4980B, and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, as a result of a "qualifying event" experienced by such
covered employee or qualified beneficiary with respect to or in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  "Continuation coverage,"
"covered employee," "qualified beneficiary," "qualifying event" and "group
health plan" all shall have the meanings given such terms under Section 4980B
of the Code and Section 601 et seq.  of ERISA.

                 (c)      Sellers have delivered to Buyer separately
descriptions of Sellers' vacation and sick leave policies.  Within ten (10)
days following Buyer's delivery to Sellers of the notices referred to in
Section 6.6(a) (regarding the Employees to whom Buyer intends to make offers of
employment), each Seller shall provide to Buyer a list of the accrued vacation
and sick leave of each of its Employees to whom Buyer has indicated it intends
to offer employment.  Each Transferred Employee shall be credited under Buyer's
vacation and sick leave policy with the full amount of vacation leave accrued
by such Transferred Employee but unused as of the Closing Date under the
vacation policies of Sellers' applicable to such Transferred Employee.

         6.7     Required Consents.

                 (a)      Following the execution hereof, until the Closing
Date, each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and Buyer shall
cooperate in good faith with Sellers, to obtain all Required Consents,
including Required Consents under the Franchises, Licenses and Agreements.
Each Seller and Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and
filed, within fifteen (15) days after the date hereof (subject to extension for
a period of up to an additional ten (10) days, if reasonably necessary for a
party to complete its application), all applications (including FCC Forms 394
or other appropriate forms, to the extent such Seller determines they are
necessary or appropriate) required to be filed with the FCC and any other
Governmental Authority that are necessary for the assignment to Buyer, in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, of the Governmental Authorizations.  The parties shall also make
appropriate requests, as soon as practicable after the date hereof, for any
Required Consent required under any Agreement.  Notwithstanding subsection
(d)(i) hereof, and subject to subsection (d)(ii) hereof, nothing in this
Section 6.7 shall require the expenditure or payment of any funds (other than
in respect of normal and usual attorneys' fees, filing fees or other normal
costs of doing business) or the giving of any other consideration by Buyer or
Sellers, provided that Sellers shall be liable for all obligations or
liabilities under each Governmental Authorization or Agreement during the
period prior to the Closing Date.

                 (b)      In connection with and as part of the parties'
efforts to obtain the Required Consents of each applicable Governmental
Authority to the transfer of any Franchise issued thereby from each applicable
Seller to Buyer, such Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain, with Buyer's cooperation, a Franchise Renewal for each such Franchise
that has expired or shall expire prior to the Closing Date, and a Franchise
Extension for each such Franchise that shall, by its terms, expire during the
thirty-month period subsequent to the Closing Date.

                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>   32
                 (c)      Sellers shall also use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause each such Required Consent relating to a Franchise or
Agreement to include provisions that permit (i) Buyer to grant a security
interest in such Franchise or Agreement to its lender(s) providing financing to
Buyer with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby, and (ii) Buyer to
transfer such Franchise or Agreement to any Affiliate of Buyer that agrees in
writing as a condition to such transfer to be bound by any and all obligations
of Buyer in connection therewith; provided, that Sellers shall have no
additional obligation with respect to obtaining such provisions if the
inclusion of such provisions would cause such Required Consent to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or otherwise conditioned.

                 (d) (i)  Buyer agrees that if in connection with the process
of obtaining any Required Consent, Franchise Renewal or Franchise Extension, a
Governmental Authority or other Person purports to require any condition or any
change to a Franchise, License or Agreement to which such Required Consent,
Franchise Renewal or Franchise Extension relates that would be applicable to
either Buyer or Sellers as a requirement for granting such Required Consent,
Franchise Renewal or Franchise Extension, which condition or change involves a
monetary payment or commitment to such Governmental Authority or other Person,
either Buyer or Sellers may elect, in its or their sole discretion, to satisfy
such monetary payment or commitment, in which case, Buyer and Sellers will
accept any condition or change in the Franchise, License or Agreement to which
such Required Consent, Franchise Renewal or Franchise Extension relates to the
extent provided herein.

                          (ii)    Subject to the terms of subsection (i) above,
no Seller shall agree, without Buyer's prior written consent, which consent
Buyer shall grant or withhold in its reasonably exercised discretion, to any
adverse change (other than immaterial, non-monetary changes) to the terms of
any Governmental Authorization or Agreement as a condition to obtaining any
Required Consent to the assignment of such Governmental Authorization or
Agreement to Buyer.  If in connection with the obtaining of any Required
Consent, a Governmental Authority or other third party seeks to impose any
condition or adverse change to any Governmental Authorization or Agreement to
which such Required Consent relates that would be applicable to Buyer as a
requirement for granting such Required Consent, Sellers shall promptly notify
Buyer of such fact and Sellers shall not agree to such condition or adverse
change unless Buyer shall, in its reasonably exercised discretion, consent to
such condition or change in writing.

                 (e)      Buyer shall promptly furnish to any Governmental
Authority or other Person from which a Required Consent, Franchise Extension or
Franchise Renewal is requested such accurate and complete information regarding
Buyer and its Affiliates, including financial information relating to the cable
and other media operations of Buyer and its Affiliates, as a Governmental
Authority or other Person may reasonably require in connection with obtaining
any Required Consent, Franchise Extension or Franchise Renewal.

                 (f)      It is understood and agreed that nothing herein shall
prevent Buyer or its Affiliates (or their employees, agents, representatives
and any other Person acting on behalf of Buyer and its Affiliates) from making
statements or inquiries to, attending meetings of, making presentations to, or
from responding to requests initiated by, Governmental Authorities or other

                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>   33
Persons from which a Required Consent, Franchise Extension or Franchise Renewal
is sought, and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to apprise
Sellers of all such requests.

         6.8     Use of Transferor's Name.  For a period of 180 days after the
Closing Date, Buyer may continue (but only to the extent reasonably necessary)
to operate the Systems using the name "Enstar" and all derivations and
abbreviations of such name and related trade names and marks in use in the
Systems on the Closing Date, such use to be in a manner consistent with the way
in which Sellers have used the marks. Within 180 days after the Closing Date,
Buyer will discontinue using and will dispose of all items of stationery,
business cards and literature bearing such name or marks.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Buyer will not be required to remove or discontinue using any such
name or mark that is affixed to converters or other items in or to be used in
customer homes or properties, or as are used in similar fashion making such
removal or discontinuation impracticable for Buyer.

         6.9     Delivery of Subscriber Information.  Between the date of this
Agreement and the Closing Date, promptly after the preparation thereof, each
Seller shall deliver to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of (i)
quarterly financial information, including a balance sheet, a statement of
income and expenses and a statement of cash flows (ii) quarterly statements of
capital expenditures with respect to such Seller's Systems and (iii) monthly
subscriber counts for its Systems prepared by such Seller for its internal use.

         6.10    Tax Matters.  All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp,
registration and other Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest),
incurred in connection with the transactions consummated pursuant to this
Agreement with respect to the Assets conveyed by any Seller shall be shared
equally by Buyer and such Seller.  Buyer and Sellers will cooperate in all
reasonable respects to prepare and file all necessary federal, state and local
tax returns, tax information returns, reports and estimates and other
documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use,
stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.

         6.11    Further Assurances; Satisfaction of Covenants.  Sellers and
Buyer each shall execute such documents and other papers and take or cause to
be taken such further action as may be reasonably required to carry out the
provisions hereof and to consummate and make effective the transactions
contemplated hereby. Sellers and Buyer shall each use commercially reasonable
efforts to satisfy each of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement
and to satisfy each condition to Closing it is required to satisfy hereunder.

         6.12    Environmental Reports; Title Commitments.

                 (a) (i)  Buyer shall be entitled to obtain, at its own
expense, during the period of sixty (60) days after the date hereof (the "Real
Estate Inspection Period") (A) commitments of title insurance ("Title
Commitments") issued by a nationally-recognized title insurance company
selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Sellers (a "Title Company"),
committing to insure fee title to the parcels of Real Property owned by Sellers
and leasehold title to those parcels of Real Property leased by Sellers, by
ALTA (1992) owner's policies of title insurance, (B) surveys of said parcels of
Real Property, in such form as is necessary to obtain the title insurance to be
issued pursuant to the Title Commitments, with the standard printed exceptions

                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>   34
relating to survey matters deleted ("Surveys"), certified to Buyer and to the
Title Company issuing the Title Commitment with respect to that parcel of Real
Property, and (C) Phase I environmental reports concerning the owned or leased
Real Property, which shall be performed by environmental consulting or
engineering firms reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Sellers (together with any
Phase II report, "Environmental Reports").  Buyer shall deliver to Sellers true
and complete copies of all such Title Commitments, Surveys and Environmental
Reports within five (5) Business Days after Buyer's receipt thereof.

                          (ii)    If any Phase I Environmental Report discloses
a potential presence of Hazardous Substances or a violation of any
Environmental Law that is sufficiently material to reasonably warrant a Phase
II study, or shall otherwise recommend performance of a Phase II study, then
Buyer shall have the right (subject to the provisions of this Paragraph
(a)(ii)) beyond such 60 day period, to obtain a Phase II report with respect to
the subject parcel of Real Property, in which event the Real Estate Inspection
Period shall be extended accordingly (but not more than 45 days) with respect
to such parcel of Real Property.  Any such Phase II report shall be ordered
promptly after receipt and analysis of the respective Phase I report.  If Buyer
proposes to undertake a Phase II environmental study on any parcel of Real
Property, Buyer shall provide to the applicable Seller a plan for such proposed
study prior to commencing the same, and such Seller shall have the right (which
such Seller shall exercise by written notice to Buyer within ten (10) Business
Days after receipt of Buyer's proposal) to deny by Buyer's request to perform
such Phase II environmental study on such Real Property.  If such Seller
refuses to allow such Phase II study, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Sellers within ten (10) Business Days of such Seller's
refusal, or Buyer may elect to close notwithstanding such refusal.  If Buyer
elects to close notwithstanding such refusal, (A) Buyer may not thereafter
terminate this Agreement based on Title Defects or Environmental Defects of the
applicable parcel of Real Property, (B) Buyer shall not have any recourse
against Sellers based on such Title Defects or Environmental Defects except as
provided in clause (C) of this sentence, and (C) if within six (6) months after
Closing, Buyer incurs environmental remediation expenses in respect of
Environmental Defects at the site(s) for which a Seller refused to allow a
Phase II study, such Seller will reimburse Buyer for the reasonable costs of
such remediation; provided, that (I) in no event shall the aggregate amount of
reimbursement by Sellers under this clause (C) and any remediation costs
incurred by Sellers prior to Closing in respect of Environmental Defects and
Title Defects (other than as set forth in Section 6.14 and other than monetary
Encumbrances that Seller is required to remove regardless of the amount
thereof) exceed $35,000 in the aggregate, and (II) this clause (C) shall be
inapplicable if a Purchase Price reduction is made under Subsection (b) or (c)
of this Section 6.12.

                 (b)      In the event that a Title Commitment or Survey
reveals the existence of any matter that renders title to the subject Real
Property to be other than as represented herein (a "Title Defect"), and Buyer
requests in writing, within ten (10) days of Buyer's receipt of the relevant
Title Commitment or Survey, that the applicable Seller remedy the same, then
such Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to either cure the Title
Defect or cause the Title Company to insure over it; provided, that Sellers
shall not be obligated to expend more than an aggregate amount of $35,000 for
remediation of all Title Defects and Environmental Defects required to be
remedied hereunder (other than as set forth in Section 6.14 and other than
monetary Encumbrances that Seller is required to remove regardless of the
amount thereof); and

                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>   35
if it is reasonably expected that the cost of such remediation together with
the actual or estimated expense of remedying Environmental Defects will exceed
$35,000 in the aggregate, such Seller shall have no obligation to undertake
such remediation.  A Seller's decision regarding whether to undertake
remediation shall be made by written notice to Buyer within ten (10) Business
Days after all Title Defects and Environmental Defects are disclosed to
Sellers.  If under such circumstances the applicable Seller elects to not
undertake such remediation, Buyer may, by notice to such Seller given within
ten (10) Business Days after such Seller's election to not remediate, terminate
this Agreement, or Buyer may, by notice to Sellers given within ten (10)
Business Days after such Seller's election to not remediate, elect to close
notwithstanding such election. If Buyer elects to close notwithstanding such
election, (i) Buyer may not thereafter terminate this Agreement based on Title
Defects or Environmental Defects (other than as set forth in Section 6.14);
(ii) Buyer shall have no recourse against Sellers based on any such Title
Defects or Environmental Defects (including any claim for indemnification
pursuant to Section 10 hereof) except as set forth in Section 6.14; and (iii)
at Closing the Purchase Price shall be reduced by $35,000; provided, that there
shall be no such reduction in the Purchase Price under this subsection (b) if
there is a Purchase Price reduction under Subsection (c) below.

                 (c)      In the event that an Environmental Report reveals the
presence of Hazardous Substances on the Real Property that could reasonably
result in liability to the owner or user thereof or reveals noncompliance with
any Environmental Law (either, an "Environmental Defect"), and Buyer requests
in writing, within ten (10) days of Buyer's receipt of the relevant
Environmental Report, that the applicable Seller remedy the same, such Seller
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any such Environmental
Defect; provided, that Sellers shall not be obligated to expend more than an
aggregate of $35,000 for remediation of all Environmental Defects and Title
Defects (other than as set forth in Section 6.14 and other than monetary
Encumbrances that Seller is required to remove regardless of the amount
thereof); and, if it is reasonably expected that the cost of such remediation
together with the actual or estimated cost of remedying Title Defects (other
than monetary Encumbrances that Seller is required to remove regardless of the
amount thereof) will exceed $35,000 in the aggregate, such Seller shall have no
obligation to undertake such remediation.  A Seller's decision as to whether to
undertake remediation shall be made by written notice to Buyer within ten (10)
Business Days after all Title Defects and Environmental Defects are disclosed
to Sellers.  If under such circumstances the applicable Seller elects to not
remediate, Buyer may, by notice to Sellers given within ten (10) Business Days
after such Seller's election to not remediate, proceed to close notwithstanding
such election.  If Buyer elects to close notwithstanding such election, (i)
Buyer may not thereafter terminate this Agreement based on Title Defects or
Environmental Defects (except as set forth in Section 6.14); (ii) Buyer shall
have no recourse against Sellers based on Title Defects or Environmental
Defects (including any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10 hereof)
except as set forth in Section 6.14; and (iii) at Closing the Purchase Price
shall be reduced by $35,000; provided, that there shall be no such reduction in
the Purchase Price under this Subsection (c) if there is a Purchase Price
reduction under Subsection (b) above.

                 (d)      After the Real Estate Inspection Period (as it may be
extended pursuant to Subsection (a)(ii) hereof) Buyer shall not be entitled to
terminate this Agreement based on Title Defects or Environmental Defects
(except as set forth in Section 6.14), nor shall Buyer be

                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>   36
entitled to make any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10 hereof
based on Title Defects or Environmental Defects.

                 (e)      Buyer shall indemnify each Seller and hold each
Seller harmless from and against any losses incurred by such Seller relating to
damage to Real Property in connection with Buyer's obtaining any Environmental
Reports.

         6.13    Limited Partner Consents.  As soon as reasonably practicable
following the execution hereof, Sellers shall file with the SEC proposed proxy
materials relating to Sellers' solicitation of the Limited Partner Consents.
Each Seller shall use reasonable efforts (i) to have such proxy materials
cleared by the SEC so as to enable it to disseminate definitive proxy materials
to its respective Limited Partners, (ii) to disseminate such materials, upon
receipt of SEC clearance, to its respective Limited Partners and (iii)
thereafter to obtain the Limited Partner Consents.  Sellers shall give Buyer
prompt notice when the Limited Partner Consents have been obtained and when any
material development has occurred that causes substantial doubt as to whether
the Limited Partner Consents will be obtained.

         6.14    Dyer Office Facility.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 6.12, following the execution of this Agreement, Enstar Income/Growth
Program Six-A, L.P. ("Enstar Six") shall commission a Phase I and/or Phase II
environmental survey, as appropriate, to determine whether any violation of
applicable Environmental Laws exists with respect to the underground storage
tank located at the parcel of Real Property on which the Dyer, Tennessee office
facility is located, which survey(s) shall be conducted by an environmental
consulting firm reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Enstar Six.  If any such
violation exists, either (i) Enstar Six shall cause such remediation to be
performed as it determines is reasonably necessary to cure any such violation,
up to an aggregate amount of $75,000, or (ii) Enstar Six shall not undertake
such remediation, and the amount of the Purchase Price payable to Enstar Six
shall be reduced by an amount representing a reasonable estimate of the cost of
the remediation described in clause (i), up to the aggregate amount of $75,000.
In the event that the reasonable estimate of the cost of the remediation
described in clause (i) exceeds $75,000, Enstar Six shall be entitled to elect
to not perform such remediation, and, if Enstar Six elects to not perform such
remediation, Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 11.1.

         6.15    Acquisition Proposals.  If, prior to obtaining all the Limited
Partner Consents, any Seller or any Person acting on behalf of any Seller
receives a solicitation from a third party regarding an Acquisition Proposal
(as defined herein), which Acquisition Proposal such Seller intends to submit
to its respective Limited Partners for their approval, such Seller shall,
within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such solicitation, notify
Buyer in writing of the price and other material terms of such Acquisition
Proposal, and Buyer shall be entitled, within five (5) Business Days following
receipt of such notification, to submit an Acquisition Proposal in response to
the third party's Acquisition Proposal (a "Buyer Acquisition Proposal"), which
Buyer Acquisition Proposal shall contain all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement other than the Purchase Price.  For purposes hereof, an "Acquisition
Proposal" means any bona fide proposed (i) asset acquisition or exchange or
similar transaction providing for any third party's acquisition of any of the
Assets or Systems or (ii) acquisition of partnership interests, merger,
consolidation, exchange of partnership or other equity interests or similar

                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>   37
result in the acquisition by any third party of a percentage of the Interests
(as defined herein) in any Seller sufficient to give such third party voting
control over the applicable Seller.  For purposes hereof, an "Interest" in any
Seller means an interest in the capital and profits of such Seller that is
acquired by the making of a capital contribution to such Seller or as otherwise
provided under the general or limited partnership agreement applicable to such
Seller.

         6.16    Noncompetition Agreement.  Charter agrees, on behalf of itself
and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, that prior to the third anniversary
of the Closing Date it will not, without the written consent of Buyer, directly

<PAGE>   40
to the materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers set forth therein;
provided that for purposes of each of clauses (1) and (2) above, the
representations and warranties shall be deemed true and correct in all respects
to the extent that the aggregate effect of the inaccuracies in such

Material Adverse Effect.

         8.2     Covenants.  Buyer shall have performed and complied in all

         8.5     Judgment.  There shall not be in effect on the date on which
the Closing is to occur any judgment, decree, order or other prohibition having
the force of law that would prevent or make unlawful the Closing; provided that

expeditiously as possible any such judgment, decree, order or other legal
prohibition that may be entered.

         8.6     Limited Partner Consents.  The Limited Partner Consents shall

Price as provided in Section 3.2.

9.       Retained Franchises and Assets.

         9.1     Non-Transferable Franchise Areas.  In the event that on the
Closing Date any Franchise Area is not a Transferable Franchise Area, then the
Franchise covering such Franchise Area ("Retained Franchise") and any other
Assets used solely in connection with any Seller's operations within such
Franchise Area ("Retained Assets") shall be excluded from the Assets conveyed
on the Closing Date, and the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply.  In the
event there are any Retained Franchises and Assets on the Closing Date, the
amount of the Purchase Price paid by Buyer at Closing with respect to such
Retained Franchises and Assets shall be the Discounted Franchise Purchase Price
(as defined in Section 9.5) with respect thereto.

         9.2     Retained Franchise Consents.  From and after the Closing Date
the Seller(s) owning any Retained Franchises or Retained Assets shall continue
to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Required Consent with
respect to any Retained Franchise ("Retained Franchise Consent"), and the terms
and conditions of Section 6.7, insofar as they apply to Franchise Required
Consents, shall govern the obtaining of any such Retained Franchise Consent.

         9.3     Subsequent Closings.  Subject to Section 9.4, at such time as
the Franchise Area covered by any Retained Franchise shall become a
Transferable Franchise Area, Buyer and the applicable Seller shall conduct a
closing (each, a "Subsequent Closing") at which such Seller shall assign,
transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall acquire from such
Seller, the Retained Franchise covering such Franchise Area and any Retained
Assets with respect thereto.  Each Subsequent Closing shall take place on a
Business Day on which the relevant parties shall agree and that is not less
than five (5) nor more than ten (10) Business Days from the date on which Buyer
receives notice that the Retained Franchise Consent is obtained or the relevant
Franchise Area has otherwise become a Transferable Franchise Area.  At such
Subsequent Closing, (i) Buyer shall deliver to the applicable Seller, in the
manner set forth in Section 3.2(a), the amount of the difference between the
Franchise Purchase Price and the Discounted Franchise Purchase Price with
respect to such Retained Franchise and any such Retained Assets; and (ii) Buyer
or the applicable Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver the instruments
described in

                                     - 35 -
<PAGE>   42
Sections 7.6(d), (g), (h) and (i) and 8.7(d) with respect to such Retained
Franchise and Retained Assets.

         9.4     Final Closing.  If, on the date that is one (1) year from the
date of the Closing Date, any Franchise Area shall not have become a
Transferable Franchise Area, Buyer and the Seller with respect thereto shall
nevertheless conduct a final Closing with respect to the Retained Franchise and
Retained Assets relating to any such Franchise Area ("Final Closing"), at which
such Seller shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer
shall acquire from such Seller, such Retained Franchise and Retained Assets.
Such Final Closing shall occur on such one year anniversary date or, if such
date is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day.  At such Final Closing,
Buyer or the applicable Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver the
instruments described in Sections 7.6(d), (g), (h) and (i) and 8.7(d) with
respect to such Retained Franchise and Retained Assets.

         9.5     Franchise Purchase Price; Discounted Franchise Purchase Price.
The "Franchise Purchase Price" with respect to any Retained Franchise (and the
Retained Assets with respect thereto), shall be the product of (i) the number
of Subscribers covered by such Retained Franchise as of the Closing Date, based
on the Pre-Closing Certificate, as it may be modified to reflect the resolution
of any pre-Closing disputes with respect thereto, and (ii) the Subscriber
Adjustment Amount applicable to the Seller of such Retained Franchise and
Assets.  The "Discounted Franchise Purchase Price" with respect to any Retained
Franchise (and the Retained Assets with respect thereto) shall be the amount of
eighty percent (80%) of the Franchise Purchase Price with respect to such
Retained Franchise and Assets.

         9.6     Management Agreement.  If there are any Retained Franchises,
the Systems covered by such Retained Franchises shall be operated pursuant to
the Management Agreement from the Closing until the Subsequent Closing with
respect thereto or the Final Closing, as the case may be.

10.      Survival of Representations and Warranties; Indemnification.

         10.1    Survival of Representations and Warranties.  Subject to
Section 6.12, the representations and warranties of the parties provided for in
this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months, except
representations and warranties relating to environmental matters and title to
Real Property, which representations and warranties shall be governed by
Section 6.12, and to Taxes, title to Assets other than Real Property and
authority, which representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for
the duration of the applicable statute of limitations (the "Indemnity Period").
No claim for indemnification for breach of a representation or warranty may be
asserted after the expiration of the applicable Indemnity Period; provided,
that the written assertion of any claim by a party against the other hereunder
with respect to the breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty
(or of a series of facts which would support such breach) shall extend the
Indemnity Period with respect to such claim through the date such claim is
conclusively resolved.

                                     - 36 -
<PAGE>   43
         10.2    Indemnification.

                 (a)      Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.5,
Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, after the Closing,
from and against any and all claims to the extent such claims are based upon,
arise out of or are related to (i) a breach of any representation or warranty,
or any failure to perform or comply with any of the covenants, conditions or
agreements of Buyer set forth in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, or
(ii) the assertion of any claim or legal action against such Seller by any
Person or Governmental Authority based upon, arising out of or relating to the
ownership or operation of the Assets occurring, arising or accruing after the
Closing Date.

                 (b)      Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.5,
each Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, after the Closing,
from and against any and all claims to the extent such claims are based upon,
arise out of or relate to (i) a breach of any representation or warranty, or
any failure to perform or comply with any of the covenants, conditions or
agreements of such Seller set forth in this Agreement or in any Related
Agreement or (ii) any liability of such Seller arising or accruing on or prior
to, or existing on, the Closing Date, except any such liability for which an
adjustment to the Purchase Price is made pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii); or
(iii) any obligation or liability of such Seller not assumed by Buyer pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.

         10.3    Assertion of Claims.

                 (a)      If Buyer, on the one hand, or any Seller, on the
other hand believes that it has a claim for indemnification, it shall notify
the other (the particular Seller, in the case of a claim against a particular
Seller) promptly in writing describing such claim with reasonable particularity
and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement under which such
claim has arisen.

                 (b)      As used in this Section 10 the word "claim" shall
mean any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, deficiencies,
demands, claims, fines, penalties, interest, assessments, judgments, actions,
proceedings and suits of whatever kind and nature and all costs and expenses
relating thereto (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred in connection with the investigation or defense thereof or in
asserting rights hereunder).

                 (c)      Neither this Section 10 nor any other provision of
this Agreement is intended to confer any third party beneficiary rights,
including but not limited to any extension of any statute of limitations
pertaining to suits, actions or proceedings brought by third parties.

         10.4    Notice of and Right to Defend Third Party Claims.  Promptly
upon receipt of notice of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or
proceeding by a third party in respect of which indemnification may be sought
on account of an indemnity agreement contained in Section 10.2, the party
seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee") shall give notice in writing to the
party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnitor").  The omission by
such Indemnitee to so notify promptly such Indemnitor of any such claim or
action shall not relieve such Indemnitor from any liability which it may have
to such Indemnitee in connection

                                     - 37 -
<PAGE>   44
therewith.  In case any claim shall be asserted or suit, action or proceeding
commenced against an Indemnitee, the Indemnitor will be entitled to participate
therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, subject to Indemnitor's written
confirmation of its indemnity obligations hereunder with respect to such claim,
to assume the defense or conduct the settlement thereof.  Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, Indemnitor shall not be entitled to settle any
such suit, action or proceeding without Indemnitee's consent, which consent
shall be not unreasonably withheld.  After notice from the Indemnitor to the
Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense, conduct or settlement
thereof (along with its written confirmation of its indemnity obligations), the
Indemnitor will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense, conduct
or settlement thereof following such notice.  The Indemnitee will reasonably
cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection with any such claim assumed by the
Indemnitor to make available to the Indemnitor all Persons and all pertinent
information under the Indemnitee's control.

         10.5    Limitations of Liability.

                 (a)      For purposes of this Agreement, claims for
indemnification for breach  of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement shall not take into account, give effect to or be qualified by any
considerations of materiality or knowledge which may be expressed in such
representation or warranty.

                 (b)      The amount of any claim indemnifiable by an
Indemnitor pursuant to Section 10.2 shall be reduced by the amount of any
insurance proceeds and the amount of any tax benefit resulting from the subject
matter of such claim received by the Indemnitee in respect of such claim.

                 (c)      A Seller shall not be required to indemnify Buyer
under Section 10.2(b) with respect to claims arising from breaches of such
Seller's representations or warranties hereunder, and Buyer shall not be
required to indemnify any Seller under Section 10.2(a) with respect to Claims
arising from Buyer's representations or warranties hereunder, until the
aggregate amount of all such Claims against Sellers or Buyer, as the case may
be, exceeds the aggregate amount of $125,000, in which case the indemnifying
party shall be liable for the total amount of all of such claims starting from
the first dollar.

                 (d)      Sellers' aggregate liability to Buyer for Claims
arising from breaches of Sellers' representations and warranties hereunder
shall be limited to losses or damages not exceeding the aggregate amount of
$1,800,000, as allocated among the Sellers as set forth in Schedule 1.1A,
except that such limit shall not apply to Claims arising out of representations
and warranties relating to title to Assets other than Real Property, Taxes and
authority.  Buyer's liability to Sellers for Claims arising out of breaches of
its representations and warranties hereunder shall be limited to losses or
damages not exceeding the aggregate amount of $1,800,000, which shall be
allocated among the Sellers as set forth in Schedule 1.1A.

         10.6    Indemnity Escrow Agreement.  At the Closing, Buyer, Sellers
and the Escrow Agent shall execute the Indemnity Agreement, in accordance with
which Buyer will deposit the Indemnity Fund with the Escrow Agent on the
Closing Date in order to provide a fund for the

                                     - 38 -
<PAGE>   45
payment of any indemnification to which any Buyer Indemnitee is entitled under
this Section 10; provided, that at any Seller's request, at the Closing a
separate Indemnity Escrow Agreement shall be entered into with respect to each
Seller.

11.      Termination.

         11.1    Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated prior to the
Closing only in accordance with the following:

                 (a)      At any time by mutual consent of the Sellers and
Buyer;

                 (b)      By either Sellers or Buyer if the Closing hereunder
has not taken place on or before the Outside Closing Date other than by reason
of a breach or default of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement by the party seeking to terminate; provided, that, either party may,
at its sole option, extend such date for an additional three (3) months if as
of such date the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 7.3 and 8.3 shall
have not been satisfied; or

                 (c)      By either Sellers or Buyer, at any time, if the other
party is in material breach or material default of its covenants and agreements
under this Agreement and the party in breach or default does not cure such
breach or default within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is
delivered to the non-terminating party, provided that the terminating party is
not also in material breach or material default hereunder;

                 (d)      By either Sellers or Buyer, if the representations
and warranties of the other party (without regard to the materiality or
Material Adverse Effect qualifiers set forth therein) are not true and correct
in all respects (or, with respect to representations and warranties made as of
a specific date, are not true and correct in all respects as of such date), and
such failure is not cured by the Outside Closing Date, provided that all of the
representations and warranties of the terminating party are true and correct in
all respects; provided, that for purposes of this Section 11.1(d), the
representations and warranties of a party shall be deemed true and correct in
all respects to the extent that the aggregate effect of the inaccuracies in
such representations and warranties as of the applicable times does not
constitute a Material Adverse Effect;

                 (e)      By Buyer, pursuant to Section 6.12(a), (b) or (c) or
Section 6.14; or

                 (f)      By Buyer in the event that any of the following shall
occur: (i)  as of the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days following the
date hereof, the Limited Partners holding forty percent (40%) or more of the
Interests of any Seller shall have affirmatively disapproved the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (unless the Limited Partners holding fifty
percent (50%) or more of the Interests of such Seller shall have approved the
transactions contemplated hereby); (ii)  as of any date, the Limited Partners
holding fifty percent (50%) or more of the Interests of any Seller shall have
affirmatively disapproved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
approved any Acquisition Proposal; or (iii)  as of the termination of the
Voting Period applicable to any Seller, the Limited Partner Consents of such
Seller shall not have been obtained; provided, however, that for purposes of
clauses (i) and (ii)

                                     - 39 -
<PAGE>   46
the percentage of Interests disapproving the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or approving an Acquisition Proposal shall not include any
disapprovals or approvals (as the case may be) that shall have been rescinded,
revoked or otherwise withdrawn as of the date of such termination.

         11.2    Breakup Fee; Acquisition Proposals.

                 (a)      Each Seller shall pay to Buyer a Breakup Fee (as
defined herein), in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, in the
event that (i) this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section
11.1(f), (ii) as of the date of such termination any Seller's Limited Partners
shall have given their consent to an Acquisition Proposal submitted by a third
party; and (iii) Buyer shall have performed and complied in all material
respects with all covenants and agreements required to be performed or complied
with by it under this Agreement during the period prior to the first to occur
of (x) the date on which any Seller's Limited Partners shall have either
disapproved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or given their
consent to an Acquisition Proposal submitted by a third party, or (y) the
first-occurring date of termination of the Voting Period of any Seller during
which the Limited Partner Consents for such Seller shall not have been
obtained.  Sellers shall pay the Breakup Fee to Buyer by wire transfer of
immediately available funds or by certified check (in accordance with Buyer's
written instructions) within five (5) Business Days following the date of
termination pursuant to Section 11.1(f).  For purposes hereof, the "Breakup
Fee" with respect to any Seller means a pro rata portion of the aggregate
amount of $750,000, which shall be determined by allocating the amount of
$750,000 among Sellers based on the allocation of the aggregate Purchase Price
among Sellers.

                 (b)      In the event that the Closing does not occur and this
Agreement is terminated with respect to a Seller solely as a result of the
failure to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 7.9 and 8.6
with respect to such Seller, and within six (6) months following the
termination of the applicable Voting Period, such Seller receives an
Acquisition Proposal from a third party, which Acquisition Proposal such Seller
intends to submit to its respective Limited Partners for their approval, such
Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of the price and other material terms of
such Acquisition Proposal, and Buyer shall be entitled, within five (5)
Business Days of such notification, to submit a Buyer Acquisition Proposal.

         11.3    Reimbursement of Expenses. Reimbursement of Expenses.  In the
event that (i) this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section
11.1(f), (ii) as of the date of such termination no Seller's Limited Partners
shall have given their consent to an Acquisition Proposal submitted by a third
party; and (iii) Buyer shall have performed and complied in all material
respects with all covenants and agreements required to be performed or complied
with by it under this Agreement during the period prior to the first to occur
of (x) the date on which any Seller's Limited Partners shall have disapproved
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (y) the first-occurring
date of termination of the Voting Period of any Seller during which the Limited
Partner Consents for such Seller shall not have been obtained, such Seller(s)
for which the Limited Partner Consents shall not have been obtained will
reimburse Buyer for Buyer's actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement; provided,
however, that if Buyer shall

                                     - 40 -
<PAGE>   47
consummate this Agreement with those Seller(s) for which the Limited Partner
Consents shall have been obtained, such reimbursement shall be reduced by the
amount of such costs and expenses allocated to the consummating Sellers based
on the allocation of the aggregate Purchase Price among Sellers.

         11.4    Surviving Obligations.  In the event of termination of this
Agreement by either Buyer or Sellers pursuant to this Section 11, prompt
written notice thereof shall be given to the other party; and this Agreement
shall terminate, without further action by any of the parties hereto, and all
obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except for the
obligations set forth in Sections 4.19, 6.4, 11.2, 11.3, 11.5, 12 and 21.

         11.5    Attorney's Fees.  Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement that may limit or qualify a party's remedies, in the event of a
default by any party that results in a lawsuit or other proceeding for any
remedy available under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to reimbursement from the defaulting party of its reasonable legal fees and
expenses.

12.      Expenses.

         Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party shall pay
its own expenses incurred in connection with the authorization, preparation,
execution and performance of this Agreement, including all fees and expenses of
counsel, accountants, agents and other representatives.

13.      Entire Agreement.

         Buyer and Sellers agree that this Agreement, including the Schedules
and all Exhibits hereto and any other written document or instrument delivered
in connection herewith, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
understandings and agreements with respect thereto.

14.      Parties Obligated and Benefited.

binding upon the parties and their respective assigns and successors in
interest and will inure solely to the benefit of the parties and their
respective assigns and successors in interest, and no other Person will be

written consent of the other parties, no party will assign any of its rights

         Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any term of
this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement
may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either

17.      Severability.

         If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or
shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable because of the conflict
of such provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy or
for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering
any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or
unenforceable, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such
invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein
and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and
enforceable to the maximum extent permitted.

18.      Section Headings and Terms.

         The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience and

19.      Counterparts.

         This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of

together contain the signatures of each party hereto shall have been delivered
to Seller and Buyer.

20.      Governing Law; Consent in Jurisdiction.

         This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the law (without giving effect to the law governing the

located within the State of New York as is prohibited by law, and the parties
consent to the jurisdiction of said court or courts located within the State of
New York and to service of process by registered mail, return receipt
requested, or by any other manner provided by law. Each party hereto agrees not
to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action,
suit or proceeding any claim that it is not subject personally to the
jurisdiction of such court, that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in
an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit or proceeding is
improper or that this Agreement, or any other agreement or transaction related
hereto or the subject matter thereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by
such court.

21.      Specific Performance.

         The parties hereto acknowledge that money damages are not an adequate
remedy for violations of this Agreement and that any party may, in its sole
discretion, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance
or injunctive or other relief (without the posting of any bond or other
security) as such court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this
Agreement or prevent any violation hereof by any of the parties hereto and, to
the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each party hereof waives
any objection to the imposition of such relief.  Any such specific or equitable
relief granted shall not be exclusive and an Indemnitee shall also be entitled
to seek money damages.

                            DEPOSIT ESCROW AGREEMENT

         This DEPOSIT ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated as of June ___, 2000
("Agreement"), is by and among Enstar Income Program 1984-1, L.P., a Georgia
limited partnership, Enstar Income Program IV-3, L.P., a Georgia limited
partnership, Enstar Income/Growth Program Six-A, L.P., a Georgia limited
partnership, Enstar VII, a Georgia limited partnership, Enstar VIII, a Georgia
limited partnership, and Enstar X, Ltd., a Georgia limited partnership
(collectively, "Sellers," and each individually, a "Seller"), Multimedia
Acquisition Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Buyer"), The Bank of New York, a
New York banking corporation (the "Escrow Agent"), and, solely for purposes of
Section 3.3(a) hereof, Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") and Gans
Multimedia Partnership ("Gans").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, Sellers and Buyer have entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to
which Sellers have agreed to sell, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer certain
assets owned or held for use by Sellers and used in connection with the
operation of certain cable television systems, as more particularly described in
the Purchase Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, in Section 3.5 of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer and Sellers
have agreed that concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer
shall deposit the aggregate sum of $1,800,000 (the "Deposit Amount") with the
Escrow Agent in order to secure Buyer's performance of its covenants and
obligations to each of the Sellers.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the promises
contained herein, the parties, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

                                   SECTION 1
                                 ESCROW DEPOSIT

         1.1 Delivery. Concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement,
Buyer is depositing the Deposit Amount with the Escrow Agent, to be held and
disbursed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

         1.2 Receipt. The Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of the Deposit
Amount and agrees to hold and disburse the Deposit Amount in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent has established a
segregated escrow account (the "Escrow Account") for deposit of the Deposit
Amount, into which the Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit Amount prior to
the investment thereof pursuant to Section 1.4.

<PAGE>   54

         1.3 Escrowed Funds. For purposes hereof, the "Escrowed Funds" shall
refer to the Deposit Amount together with all interest, income, dividends and
other earnings with respect thereto ("Earnings").

         1.4 Investment and Income. The Escrow Agent shall, pending the
disbursement of the Escrowed Funds pursuant to this Agreement, invest the
Escrowed Funds in accordance with written instructions of Buyer in (a) direct
obligations of, or obligations fully guaranteed by, the United States of America
or any agency thereof, (b) certificates of deposit issued by a commercial bank
having a combined capital surplus and undivided profits of not less than
$100,000,000, (c) money market funds investing solely in any of the above or (d)
other investments of equal or greater security as instructed in writing by
Buyer.

                                   SECTION 2
                         DISBURSEMENT OF ESCROWED FUNDS

         The Escrowed Funds shall not be disbursed except as set forth in this
Section 2.

         2.1 Disbursement of Escrowed Funds Upon Closing. In the event that the
closing on the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement (the
"Closing") shall occur, Buyer and Sellers shall, on the date of the Closing,
telecopy to the Escrow Agent joint notice instructing the Escrow Agent to
disburse the Escrowed Funds to Sellers and setting forth any other instructions
for payment. The Escrow Agent shall promptly comply with such instructions in
their entirety within one (1) Business Day (as defined herein) of the Escrow
Agent's receipt of such joint notice, unless the joint notice contains a
different time period for compliance therewith. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Business Day" means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange (or any
successor securities exchange) and the Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. (or any
successor bank) are officially open for business in New York City.

         2.2 Disbursement of Escrowed Funds in Accordance with Sellers'
Instructions. If the Escrow Agent and Buyer receive a written notice signed by
any Seller stating that such Seller is entitled to any portion of the Escrowed
Funds ("Seller Claim Notice"), the Escrow Agent shall confirm Buyer's receipt of
such Seller Claim Notice, and Buyer shall be entitled to object to such Seller's
claim to any portion of the Escrowed Funds by giving notice of its objection
("Dispute Notice") to such Seller and the Escrow Agent within seven (7) Business
Days of its receipt of the Seller Claim Notice. If the Escrow Agent does not
receive a Dispute Notice from Buyer within such seven (7) Business Day period,
the Escrow Agent shall deliver the portion of the Escrowed Funds stated in the
Seller Claim Notice to such Seller within seven (7) Business Days of the
expiration of such seven (7) Business Day period. If the Escrow Agent receives a
Dispute Notice from Buyer within such seven (7) Business Day period, the Escrow
Agent shall continue to hold such portion of the Escrowed Funds until it
receives an order or instructions in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof.

                                        2

<PAGE>   55

         2.3 Disbursement of Escrowed Funds in Accordance with Buyer's
Instructions. If the Escrow Agent and Sellers receive a written notice signed by
Buyer stating that Buyer is entitled to any portion of the Escrowed Funds
("Buyer Claim Notice"), the Escrow Agent shall confirm Sellers' receipt of such
Buyer Claim Notice, and each Seller shall be entitled to object to Buyer's claim
to the Escrowed Funds by delivering a Dispute Notice to the Escrow Agent within
seven (7) Business Days of its receipt of the Buyer Claim Notice. If the Escrow
Agent does not receive a Dispute Notice from any Seller within such seven (7)
Business Day period, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds (or the
portion thereof specified in the Buyer Claim Notice) to Buyer within seven (7)
Business Days of the expiration of such seven (7) Business Day Period. If the
Escrow Agent receives a Dispute Notice from any Seller within such seven (7)
Business Day period, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Funds until it
receives an order or instructions in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof.

         2.4 Dispute. In the event of any dispute among any of the parties to
this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not comply with any claim or demands from
Buyer and/or Seller as long as any such dispute may continue, and the Escrow
Agent shall make no delivery or other disposition of any portion of the Escrowed
Funds until (a) the Escrow Agent receives a final nonappealable court order from
a court of competent jurisdiction directing disposition of the Escrowed Funds,
(b) the Escrow Agent has received an order of an arbitrator designated in
writing jointly by Buyer and Sellers, or in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement, directing disposition of the Escrowed Funds or any portion thereof or
(c) the Escrow Agent has received written instructions signed by Buyer and
Sellers directing disposition of the Escrowed Funds. Upon receipt of the order
or instructions referred to in (a), (b) or (c) the Escrow Agent shall deliver
the Escrowed Funds, or a portion thereof, as the case may be, in accordance with
such order or instructions and shall comply in all respects with such order or
instructions.

         2.5 Disbursement of Escrowed Funds in Accordance with Joint
Instructions or an Order. If at any time the Escrow Agent receives (a) joint
instructions signed by Buyer and Sellers regarding disposition of the Escrowed
Funds, (b) a final and nonappealable court order from a court of competent
jurisdiction regarding disposition of the Escrowed Funds or (c) an order of an
arbitrator designated in writing jointly by Buyer and Sellers regarding
disposition of the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrowed
Funds in accordance with, and shall otherwise comply with, such instructions or
order.

         2.6 Remaining Balance in Escrow Account. If the Escrow Agent disburses
a portion of but less than all of the Escrowed Funds pursuant to any order or
instructions in accordance with this Agreement, that portion of the Escrowed
Funds not disbursed shall continue to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent
subject to the terms of this Agreement.

         2.7 Interpleader. In the event that any dispute should arise hereunder,
the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deposit the Escrowed Funds with the clerk
of any court of

                                        3

<PAGE>   56

competent jurisdiction and to interplead Buyer and Sellers, and upon doing so,
the Escrow Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Sellers and Buyer.

                                   SECTION 3
                                  ESCROW AGENT

         3.1 Appointment. Buyer and Sellers hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to
serve hereunder, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees
to perform all duties expressly set forth in this Agreement.

         3.2 Compensation.

             (a) In consideration of the Escrow Agent's acceptance of its
appointment hereunder, Sellers and Buyer shall pay the Escrow Agent the fees set
forth in Exhibit 1 hereto. Such sum is intended as compensation for the Escrow
Agent's ordinary services as contemplated by this Agreement, including without
limitation (i) the investment of the Escrowed Funds and (ii) the disbursement
thereof to Sellers and/or Buyer, as the case may be.

             (b) If any fees, expenses or costs incurred by, or any obligations
owed to, the Escrow Agent hereunder are not promptly paid when due, the Escrow
Agent may reimburse itself therefor from the Escrowed Funds and may sell, convey
or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Escrowed Funds for such purpose.

             (c) As security for the due and punctual performance of any and all
of Buyer's and Sellers' obligations to the Escrow Agent hereunder, now or
hereafter arising, Buyer and Sellers, individually and collectively, hereby
pledge, assign and grant to the Escrow Agent a continuing security interest in,
and a lien on, the Escrowed Funds, including all Earnings and other additions
thereto (whether such additions and Earnings are the result of deposits by Buyer
or any Seller or the investment of the Escrowed Funds). The Escrow Agent's
security interest created hereunder shall at all times be valid, perfected and
enforceable by Escrow Agent against Buyer and Sellers and all third parties in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         3.3 Indemnification.

             (a) Buyer and Sellers, jointly and severally, shall be liable for
and shall reimburse and indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from and
against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs, damages or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively, "Losses")
arising from or in connection with or related to this Agreement or from its
position as Escrow Agent hereunder (including without limitation Losses incurred
by the Escrow Agent in connection with its successful defense, in whole or in
part, of

                                        4

<PAGE>   57

any claim of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part); provided, that
nothing contained herein shall require indemnification of the Escrow Agent for
Losses caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Buyer and
Sellers fail to indemnify the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3, Gans
(with respect to Buyer) and Charter (with respect to Sellers) shall be jointly
and severally responsible for the indemnification of the Escrow Agent pursuant
to this Section 3.3.

             (b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or its performance
or lack of performance of its duties hereunder in the absence of gross
negligence or willful miscoduct on its part. In no event shall the Escrow Agent
be liable (i) for acting in good faith in accordance with or relying in good
faith upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document from Buyer
or any Seller or any entity the Escrow Agent believes in good faith to be acting
on behalf of Buyer or any Seller, (ii) for any consequential, punitive or
special damages, other than any such damages resulting from the Escrow Agent's
gross negligence or willful misconduct, (iii) for the acts or omissions of its
nominees, correspondents, designees, subagents or subcustodians, other than any
such acts or omissions that result from the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct, (iv) for an amount in excess of the value of the Escrowed
Funds, valued as of the date of deposit thereof pursuant to this Agreement or
(v) with respect to any action taken or omitted in good faith upon the advice of
its counsel given with respect to any question relating to the Escrow Agent's

         3.4 Resignation.

Sellers thirty (30) days' prior written notice, and in such event, the successor
Escrow Agent shall be such person, firm or corporation as shall be mutually
agreed by Buyer and Sellers. It is understood and agreed that the Escrow Agent's
resignation shall not be effective until a successor escrow agent agrees to act
hereunder; provided, that if no successor is appointed and acting hereunder
within thirty (30) days after such notice is given, the Escrow Agent may, in its
sole discretion, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief. The cost and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Escrow
Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and be deemed a joint
and several obligation of, Buyer and Sellers.

             (b) Upon receipt of the identity of the successor escrow agent
appointed pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Escrow Agent shall either deliver the
Escrowed Funds then held hereunder to such successor escrow agent (less the
amount of any fees, costs and expenses or other obligations then owed to the
Escrow Agent), or hold such Escrowed Funds (or any portion thereof) pending
distribution, until all such fees, costs and expenses or other obligations are
paid.

terms or conditions.

allocated among Sellers as set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto (the "Indemnity
Fund"), shall be deposited in escrow with the Escrow Agent in order to provide
a fund for the payment of claims giving rise to indemnification by Sellers
under the Purchase Agreement.

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending legally to
be bound, agree as follows:

                                   SECTION 1
                              INDEMNIFICATION FUND

          1.1        Delivery.  Concurrent with the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the "Closing"), Buyer will deposit with
the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount
of the Indemnity Fund, to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Indemnity Fund," as
of any time during the term of this Agreement, shall refer to the

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

(1)        At any Seller's request, at Closing, a separate Indemnity Escrow
           Agreement, substantially in the form hereof, will be entered for
           each Seller, and this form will be modified accordingly.

amount of the Indemnity Fund then existing and all Earnings (as defined in
Section 1.3) with respect thereto.

          1.2        Receipt.  The Escrow Agent agrees to hold and disburse the
Indemnity Fund in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and for the uses and purposes stated herein.  Upon receipt of the Indemnity
Fund, the Escrow Agent shall acknowledge receipt thereof by notice to Buyer and
Sellers.  The Escrow Agent shall deposit the portion of the Indemnity Fund
allocable to each Seller into a separate account, to be maintained and
disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          1.3        Investment and Income.  After receipt of the Indemnity
Fund, the Escrow Agent shall, pending the disbursement of the Indemnity Fund
and all interest, income and other earnings with respect thereto (collectively,
"Earnings") pursuant to this Agreement, invest the Indemnity Fund in accordance
with written instructions of Sellers in (a) direct obligations of, or
obligations fully guaranteed by, the United States of America or any agency
thereof, (b) certificates of deposit issued by a commercial bank having a
combined capital surplus and undivided profits of not less than $100,000,000,
(c) money market funds investing solely in any of the above or (d) other
investments of equal or greater security as instructed in writing by Sellers.

                                   SECTION 2
                 PROCEDURES FOR DISBURSEMENT OF INDEMNITY FUND

           2.1       Claims Procedure.  The following procedures shall govern
the application of the Indemnity Fund to satisfy any claims by Buyer which may
be brought pursuant to Section 10.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement:

                     (a)          Buyer shall give written notice to the Seller
against which such claim is being made and the Escrow Agent of any claim
against such Seller that could constitute a claim against the Indemnity Fund
(each, a "Claim Notice").  The Claim Notice shall specify (i) in detail, the
factual basis for such claim, (ii) the amount of the Indemnity Fund to be
reserved against the claim and (iii) that Buyer has given a copy of such Claim
Notice to the applicable Seller.

                     (b)          Upon receipt of a Claim Notice from Buyer,
the Escrow Agent shall reserve the amount set forth in the Claim Notice and
shall confirm that the applicable Seller has received from Buyer a copy of the
Claim Notice and the date of such Seller's receipt thereof.

                     (c)          The applicable Seller shall have thirty (30)
days from the date of its receipt of a Claim Notice from Buyer to make such
investigation of the claim as such Seller deems necessary or desirable.  For
purposes of such investigation, Buyer shall, upon request,

                                       2
<PAGE>   69
deliver to such Seller or its authorized representative(s) copies of all
material written information relied upon by Buyer to substantiate the claim,
and shall describe in reasonable detail such other information relied upon by
Buyer to substantiate the claim.  If such Seller disagrees with the validity or
amount of Buyer's claim, such Seller shall deliver to Buyer and Escrow Agent a
written notice thereof ("Dispute Notice"), setting forth the factual basis for
such disagreement, at or prior to the expiration of said thirty (30) day
period.  If Buyer and such Seller agree at or prior to the expiration of said
thirty (30) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the
validity and amount of such claim, they shall promptly give the Escrow Agent
joint instructions in writing to disburse such portion of the Indemnity Fund as
Buyer and such Seller shall have agreed.  If Buyer and such Seller do not agree
within said thirty (30) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension
thereof), the matter shall be resolved as provided for in Section 3.1 hereof,
and, except as provided in Section 3.1 regarding release of any undisputed
amounts, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Indemnity Fund until it
receives a final and nonappealable court order or joint written instructions
from the applicable Seller and Buyer in accordance with Section 3.1.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable Seller shall not have
delivered a Dispute Notice to the Escrow Agent within said thirty (30) day
period, the Escrow Agent shall, without further inquiry, disburse to Buyer the
portion of the Indemnity Fund set forth in the Claim Notice.

           2.2       Final Release of Indemnity Fund.  On the date that is six
(6) months after the date of the Closing (the "Release Date"), if no claim for
indemnification is pending against any Seller, the Escrow Agent shall deliver
to such Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, bank check or
certified check or by other means mutually acceptable to such Seller and the
Escrow Agent, the entire amount of the Indemnity Fund allocable to such Seller
then remaining.  If on such date Buyer has any indemnification claims pending
against any Seller, the Escrow Agent shall retain from the portion of the
Indemnity Fund allocable to such Seller an amount equal to the total amount of
any such claims and shall remit the remaining balance of such portion of the
Indemnity Fund to such Seller.

                                  SECTION 3
                  OTHER CLAIMS AND DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES

           3.1       Dispute.  In the event of any disagreement between Buyer
and any Seller with respect to disbursement of any amount of the Indemnity Fund
allocable to such Seller, the Escrow Agent shall not comply with any claim or
demand of Buyer or such Seller pertaining to such disagreement as long as such
disagreement shall continue, and the Escrow Agent shall not deliver or
otherwise dispose of any portion of the Indemnity Fund allocable to such Seller
then held by it under this Agreement until it has received (i) a final and
nonappealable court order from a court of competent jurisdiction directing
disposition of such funds, or (ii) joint written instructions signed by Buyer
and the applicable Seller.

                                       3
<PAGE>   70
           3.2       Interpleader.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may at any time deposit the portion of the
Indemnity Fund then held by it, together with all Earnings attributable
thereto, with the clerk of any court of competent jurisdiction upon
commencement of an action in the nature of interpleader or in the course of
court proceedings relating to the Indemnity Fund.

           3.3       Court Order or Joint Written Instructions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time the
Escrow Agent receives a final nonappealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction, or written instructions signed by any Seller or Sellers and
Buyer, directing delivery of any part of the Indemnity Fund allocable to such
Seller(s) and/or the Earnings, the Escrow Agent shall comply with such order or
instructions in their entirety.

           3.4       Allocation of Liability.  The provisions of the Purchase
Agreement relating to the relative liability of each Seller to Buyer and the
limitations of each Seller's liability to Buyer shall be controlling for all
purposes of determining any indemnification liability of each Seller to Buyer.
The provisions of the Purchase Agreement relating to the Purchase Price and the
Adjusted Purchase Price (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement) shall be
controlling for all purposes of determining the Adjusted Purchase Price. If any
such provision of the Purchase Agreement is inconsistent with any provision
hereof, the Purchase Agreement shall be controlling as between each Seller and
Buyer.

           3.5       Disbursement of Earnings.  In the event that the Escrow
Agent shall disburse any portion of the Indemnity Fund to Buyer or any Seller
pursuant to Section 2.1(c), 2.2 or 3.1 of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent
shall disburse to Buyer or such Seller (as the case may be) all Earnings
attributable to the portion of the Indemnity Fund disbursed to such party.

                                   SECTION 4
                                  ESCROW AGENT

           4.1       Appointment.  Buyer and Sellers hereby appoint the Escrow
Agent to serve hereunder, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment
and agrees to perform all duties expressly set forth in this Agreement.

          4.2        Compensation.

                     (a)          In consideration of the Escrow Agent's
acceptance of its appointment hereunder, Sellers and Buyer shall pay the Escrow
Agent the fees set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto.  Such sum is intended as
compensation for the Escrow Agent's ordinary services as contemplated by this
Agreement, including without limitation (i) the investment of the Indemnity
Fund and (ii) the disbursement thereof to Sellers and/or Buyer, as the case may
be.

                                       4
<PAGE>   71
                     (b)          If any fees, expenses or costs incurred by,
or any obligations owed to, the Escrow Agent hereunder are not promptly paid
when due, the Escrow Agent may reimburse itself therefor from the Indemnity
Fund and may sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Indemnity
Fund for such purpose.

                     (c)          As security for the due and punctual
performance of any and all of Buyer's and Sellers' obligations to the Escrow
Agent hereunder, now or hereafter arising, Buyer and Sellers, individually and
collectively, hereby pledge, assign and grant to the Escrow Agent a continuing
security interest in, and a lien on, the Indemnity Fund, including all Earnings
and other additions thereto (whether such additions and Earnings are the result
of deposits by Buyer or any Seller or the investment of the Indemnity Fund).
The Escrow Agent's security interest created hereunder shall at all times be
valid, perfected and enforceable by Escrow Agent against Buyer and Sellers and
all third parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          4.3        Indemnification.

                     (a)          Buyer and Sellers, jointly and severally,
shall be liable for and shall reimburse and indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold
it harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs,
damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
(collectively, "Losses") arising from or in connection with or related to this
Agreement or from its position as Escrow Agent hereunder (including without
limitation Losses incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with its
successful defense, in whole or in part, of any claim of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on its part); provided, that nothing contained herein shall
require indemnification of the Escrow Agent for Losses caused by its gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

                     (b)          The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or
its performance or lack of performance of its duties hereunder in the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part.  In no event shall the
Escrow Agent be liable (i) for acting in good faith in accordance with or
relying in good faith upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or
document from Buyer or any Seller or any entity the Escrow Agent believes in
good faith to be acting on behalf of Buyer or any Seller, (ii) for any
consequential, punitive or special damages, other than any such damages
resulting from the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, (iii)
for the acts or omissions of its nominees, correspondents, designees, subagents
or subcustodians, other than any such acts or omissions that result from the
Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, (iv) for an amount in
excess of the value of the Indemnity Fund, valued as of the date of deposit
thereof pursuant to this Agreement or (v) with respect to any action taken or
omitted in good faith upon the advice of its counsel given with respect to any
question relating to the Escrow Agent's duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement.

          4.4        Resignation.

<PAGE>   72
                     (a)          The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon
giving Buyer and Sellers thirty (30) days' prior written notice, and in such
event, the successor escrow agent shall be such person, firm or corporation as
shall be mutually agreed by Buyer and Sellers.  It is understood and agreed
that the Escrow Agent's resignation shall not be effective until a successor
escrow agent agrees to act hereunder; provided, that if no successor is
appointed and acting hereunder within thirty (30) days after such notice is
given, the Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for
other appropriate relief.  The cost and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with such
proceeding shall be paid by, and be deemed a joint and several obligation of,
Buyer and Sellers.

                     (b)          Upon receipt of the identity of the successor
escrow agent appointed pursuant to Section 4.4(a), the Escrow Agent shall
either deliver the Indemnity Fund then held hereunder to such successor escrow
agent (less the amount of any fees, costs and expenses or other obligations
then owed to the Escrow Agent), or hold such Indemnity Fund (or any portion
thereof) pending distribution, until all such fees, costs and expenses or other
obligations are paid.

                     (c)          Upon delivery of the Indemnity Fund to a
successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall have no further duties,
responsibilities or obligations hereunder.

                          LIABILITIES OF ESCROW AGENT

          5.1        Limitations.  The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only to
accept, hold and deliver the Indemnity Fund in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and any amendments hereto; provided, that the Escrow Agent
shall not incur any liability with respect to (a) any action taken or omitted
in good faith upon the advice of its counsel given with respect to any
questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent under
this Agreement, or (b) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any
instrument which the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine
(including the execution of such instrument, the identity or authority of any
person executing such instrument, its validity and effectiveness, and the truth
and accuracy of any information contained therein), to have been signed by a
proper person or persons and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement.
The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any person by reason of any loss of any
portion of the Indemnity Fund by reason of its being deposited in any single
bank that qualifies under Section 1.3 hereof on the date of such deposit.

          5.2        Collateral Agreements.  Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by any
contract or agreement between the other parties hereto, regardless of whether
the Escrow Agent has knowledge of such contract or agreement or of its terms or
conditions.

Indemnity Fund and all Earnings thereon by the Escrow Agent in accordance with
the terms hereof, (b) written consent signed by all parties hereto, or (c)
payment of the amount of all Indemnity Fund held hereunder and all Earnings
attributable thereto into a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with

provisions of Sections 4.3 and 7.5(b) shall survive termination of this
Agreement and/or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

if Buyer assigns its rights, interests and/or obligations under the Purchase
Agreement in accordance with Section 14 of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall
be entitled to assign its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to such
assignee; and (b) if a successor escrow agent is appointed pursuant to Section
4.4(a) hereof, upon written instructions by Sellers and Buyer, the Escrow Agent
shall assign its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to such successor.

the terms agreed upon by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by the party
against which enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or
discharge is sought.

          7.4        Headings.  The headings of the sections and subsections of
this Agreement are for ease of reference only and do not evidence the

                     (a)          For tax reporting purposes, all Earnings
attributable to the portion of the Indemnity Fund allocable to any Seller shall
be deemed to be for the account of such Seller, unless determined otherwise in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                     (b)          The Escrow Agent has no interest in the
Indemnity Fund but is serving as escrow holder only and has only possession of
the Indemnity Fund.  Buyer and Sellers shall pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent
upon the Escrow Agent's request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating
to the Indemnity Fund incurred in connection herewith, and shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Escrow Agent for any amounts the Escrow Agent is obligated to
pay in respect of such taxes.  Any payments of income from the Indemnity Fund
shall be subject to withholding regulations then in force with respect to
United States taxes.  Buyer and Sellers will provide the Escrow Agent with
appropriate W-9 forms for tax I.D. number certifications.  It is understood
that the Escrow Agent shall be responsible for income reporting only with
respect to Earnings on any portion of the Indemnity Fund and shall not be
responsible for any other reporting.
