A Partner’s Interest shall for all purposes be personal property. Except as expressly provided herein, no Partner shall have any interest in specific Partnership property.

3.2 Capital Contributions.

(a) In accordance with the terms of the Contribution Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Type A Closing Date or any Type B Closing Date:

(i) TWE-A/N shall contribute to the Partnership the TWE-A/N Assets (or cash in lieu thereof to the extent provided by Section 7.25 of the Contribution Agreement) subject to the TWE-A/N Indebtedness, and TCI shall contribute to the Partnership the TCI Assets (or cash in lieu thereof to the extent provided by Section 7.25 of the Contribution Agreement) subject to the TCI Indebtedness; and

(ii) TWE-A/N GP and TCI GP shall contribute to the Partnership cash equal to 1% of the TWE-A/N Adjusted Value and the TCI Adjusted Value, respectively, each as preliminarily determined pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.

(b) Upon finalization of the calculation of the TWE-A/N Final Adjusted Value and the TCI Final Adjusted Value in accordance with the terms of the Contribution Agreement:

(i) either (A) TCI LP shall contribute to the Partnership cash equal to the amount by which the TWE-A/N Final Adjusted Value exceeds the TCI Final Adjusted Value, or (B) TWE-A/N LP shall contribute to the Partnership cash equal to the amount by which the TCI Final Adjusted Value exceeds the TWE-A/N Final Adjusted Value, in either case as required by Section 3.3.3 of the Contribution Agreement; and

(c) No Partner shall be required to make additional contributions to the capital of the Partnership unless approved by the Management Committee in accordance with Section 4.5(k).

(d) To the maximum extent possible, borrowings from third parties in accordance with Section 3.7, rather than calls for additional capital contributions shall be utilized to meet the capital requirements of the Partnership.

(e) No expense incurred or service performed by any Partner prior to its admission to the Partnership shall be considered to be a contribution or loan to or made on behalf of the Partnership, unless the Partners shall otherwise agree.

3.3 Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Partner. Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be credited with (a) the amount of such Partner’s capital contribution made in cash, (b) the Fair Market Value (net of liabilities assumed or taken subject to) of all property contributed by such Partner (treating any Beneficial Assets as if they had been contributed on the Closing Date and disregarding any subsequent actual contribution of such Beneficial Assets and any cash flow related thereto or cash contribution in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 7.25.2(d) of the Contribution Agreement), and (c) such Partner’s allocated share of Net Profit of the Partnership. Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be reduced by the amount of any cash distributions to such Partner and the Fair Market Value (net of liabilities assumed or taken subject to) of all property distributed in kind to such Partner (taking into account any deemed distribution of Beneficial Assets) and such Partner’s allocated share of Net Loss of the Partnership. The Partners agree that the respective Fair Market Values of (net of liabilities assumed or taken subject to) all

assets contributed to the Partnership (or in the case of Beneficial Assets deemed contributed) by TCI and TWE-A/N are equal, and, accordingly, each such Partner shall receive equal Capital Account credit for such contributions.

3.4 Allocations of Profit and Loss. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section 3.4, Net Profit and Net Loss of the Partnership for any fiscal year shall be allocated for purposes of the Capital Accounts among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.4(a):

(i) If any fees that the Partnership pays to a Partner or an Affiliate and deducts under Section 707 of the Code are disallowed as deductions for federal income tax purposes and treated instead as Partnership distributions, such Partner shall be specially allocated items of income equal to the amount of such fees, and the remaining Net Profit or Net Loss shall be allocated pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and the other provisions of this Section 3.4(b); and

(ii) If any interest payment that the Partnership makes and deducts in respect of its debt is disallowed as a deduction for federal income tax purposes and treated instead as a Partnership distribution to a Partner, such Partner shall be specially allocated items of income equal to the amount of such interest payment, and the remaining Net Profit or Net Loss shall be allocated pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and the other provisions of this Section 3.4(b).

(iii) Nonrecourse deductions shall be allocated in the same manner as Net Losses are allocated pursuant to Section 3.4(a). Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in accordance with the § 704(b) Treasury Regulations to those Partners bearing (or who, because of their relationship to one or more Persons who bear such economic risk of loss, are deemed to bear) the economic risk of loss for the liability. The allocation of liabilities to a property, the amounts of Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions, the effect of property revaluations and all other issues affecting the allocations of Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions will be determined in accordance with the § 704(b) Treasury Regulations.

(c) Notwithstanding the general rule on allocations of Net Profit stated in Section 3.4(a), if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any fiscal year of the Partnership, each Partner will be allocated items of income and gain for such fiscal year equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain. If there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain for any fiscal year, each Partner having a share of such Partner Minimum Gain will be allocated items of income and gain equal to such Partner’s share of such net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain. The determination of net decreases in Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Minimum Gain, allocations of such net decreases, exceptions to minimum gain

chargebacks and all other issues affecting the allocation of minimum chargeback requirements will be determined in accordance with the § 704(b) Treasury Regulations.

(d) Notwithstanding the general rule on allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss stated in Section 3.4(a), no Limited Partner shall be allocated in any fiscal year of the Partnership any Net Loss to the extent such allocation would cause or increase a deficit balance in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account, taking into account all other allocations to be made for such year pursuant to this Section 3.4 and the reasonably expected adjustments, allocations and distributions described in § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations. Any such Net Loss that would be so allocated to such Limited Partner shall instead be allocated to the General Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests. Moreover, if a Limited Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations which creates or increases a deficit balance in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account (computed after all other allocations to be made for such year pursuant to this Section 3.4 have been tentatively made as if this Section 3.4(d) were not in this Agreement), the Limited Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain in an amount equal to such deficit balance. This Section 3.4(d) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement of § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) Notwithstanding the general rule on allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss stated in Section 3.4(a), the allocations set forth in Sections 3.4(b)(iii), 3.4(c) and 3.4(d) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, deduction and loss among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(f) The following allocation rules shall apply for income tax purposes:

(i) Except as otherwise provided herein, all items of Partnership income, gain, deduction and loss shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion as they share in the Net Profit and Net Loss to which such items relate;

(ii) Any credits against income tax shall be allocated in accordance with the Partners’ Percentage Interests;

(iii) Income, gain, loss or deductions of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, so as to take account of any difference between the adjusted basis of the assets of the Partnership and their respective Gross Asset Values in accordance with the traditional method set forth in § 1.704-3(b) of the Treasury Regulations;

(iv) Any recapture of depreciation or amortization shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with the principles set forth in § 1.1245-1(e) of the Treasury Regulations; and

(v) If any investment credit is recaptured for tax purposes, such investment credit recapture shall be allocated (A) among the Partners in the proportion that the investment credit being recaptured was allocated or (B) if the investment credit being recaptured was taken as a credit by a Partner with respect to contributed property prior to the contribution thereof to the Partnership, to such Partner.

3.5 Distributions.

(a) Except as provided in Section 3.2(b)(ii), no Partner shall have the right to withdraw any amount from its Capital Account, or to receive any distribution, without the approval of the Management Committee. Except as otherwise provided in Articles VII and VIII, no Partner shall have the right to demand or receive a distribution of property other than cash from the Partnership.

(b) Subject to the restrictions of the Senior Credit Agreement and any other contractual restrictions (including any restriction contained in any promissory note or other instrument evidencing a loan from a Partner to the Partnership) to which the Partnership is subject, the Management Committee may, from time to time, distribute cash to the Partners in amounts that it determines are in excess of the amounts reasonably necessary for the continued efficient operation of the business of the Partnership. Any such distributions shall be made in accordance with the Partners’ Percentage Interests at the time of the distribution. The Partnership shall repay principal and accrued interest on subordinated loans made by the Partners to the Partnership prior to making any cash distributions to the Partners.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to the restrictions of the Senior Credit Agreement and any other contractual restrictions (including any restriction contained in any promissory note or other instrument evidencing a loan from a Partner to the Partnership) to which the Partnership is subject, the Partnership shall, not later than sixty days after the end of each fiscal year, make annual distributions to the Partners to pay income tax liabilities related to the taxable income of the Partnership’s operations. The aggregate amount of each such annual distribution shall be determined by the General Manager based on its reasonable estimate of the total income tax liability of the Partnership (the “Estimated Tax Amount”) that would arise based on the Effective Tax Rate if the Partnership were a taxpaying entity. Each Partner’s share of the Estimated Tax Amount for a fiscal year shall equal the Estimated Tax Amount for such fiscal year multiplied by such Partner’s Percentage Interest as of the last day of such fiscal year. The General Manager shall provide to each Partner at the time of distribution of the Estimated Tax Amount a schedule showing the calculation of the Estimated Tax Amount including the Effective Tax Rate used by the General Manager in determining such Estimated Tax Amount.

3.6 Beneficial Assets. The Partnership shall (and the Partners shall not, except as Partners of the Partnership) report, for Federal income tax purposes, the income, gain, deduction and loss with respect to the Beneficial Assets. In the event that, pursuant to a Final Determination, the Partnership is treated as not the beneficial owner of any of the Beneficial Assets prior to the actual contribution of such Beneficial Assets to the Partnership, to the extent necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the distributions provided for in Section 3.5 so as to place the Partnership and the Partners in the same positions they would have been in had the Partnership’s lack of beneficial ownership of such Beneficial Assets been taken into account originally.

3.7 Partnership Debt. To refinance certain indebtedness assumed by the Partnership in connection with the transfer and contribution of assets and properties pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and to finance the working capital needs of the Partnership, the Partnership shall enter into the Senior Credit Agreement. The terms of the Senior Credit Agreement and any renewal, extension, modification or refinancing of the Senior Credit Agreement shall require the unanimous approval of the General Partners. Each Partner agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to furnish such certificates, resolutions, legal opinions or other documents as may be reasonably required from time to time to enable the Partnership to borrow funds under the Senior Credit Agreement. The Partnership shall, immediately after the Closing and on the same day that Closing occurs, discharge in full all of the TWE-A/N Indebtedness and all of the TCI Indebtedness.

Reimbursement under this Section 4.8 shall be made within thirty days after the Partnership’s receipt of written notice from a Partner which has incurred a reimbursable cost or expense.

6.3 Confidentiality. Each Person that at any time is or was a Partner agrees that it shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and its and their respective agents or representatives to, keep secret and hold in strictest confidence any and all confidential information relating to the business of the Partnership, the other Partners and such other Partners’ Affiliates (including any confidential information that such Person may obtain with respect to the Cable Business and Systems (as such terms are defined in the Contribution Agreement) of the other Partners and their Affiliates by virtue of the transactions contemplated in the Contribution Agreement), other than the following:

(a) information that has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Person, its Affiliates or its agents;

(b) information that becomes available to such Person or an agent or representative of such Person on a nonconfidential basis from a third party having no obligation of confidentiality to a party to this Agreement and which has not itself received such information directly or indirectly in breach of any such obligation of confidentiality;

(c) information that is required to be disclosed by applicable law, judicial order or pursuant to any official request by any governmental or regulatory body or any listing agreement with, or the rules or regulations of, any securities exchange on which securities of such party or any such Affiliate are listed or traded or which is requested or required by any regulatory body, which asserts jurisdiction over such party; provided that the party making such disclosure or whose Affiliates or agents or representatives are making such disclosure shall notify the other parties and the Partnership as promptly as practicable (and, if possible, prior to making such disclosure) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to limit the scope of such disclosure and seek confidential treatment of the information to be disclosed;

(d) reasonable disclosures made in good faith to a prospective Permitted Transferee in connection with a potential Permitted Transfer; provided that

prior to any such disclosure such prospective Permitted Transferee executes a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Partnership;

(e) reasonable disclosures made in good faith to direct and indirect equity holders of a Partner and to its and their respective lenders, accountants, attorneys and similar persons; provided that the disclosing Partner causes such equity holders, lenders, accountants, attorneys or similar persons to agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.3;

(f) reasonable disclosures made in good faith to @Home relating to the upgrade plans for the TCI Systems to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the coordination of the build out and launch of the @Home Service on the TCI Systems; and

6.4 Internet Services; Designated Programming Services.

(a) The Partners hereby agree that (i)(A) @Home will be the exclusive provider of the Exclusive Internet Services over the cable plant and equipment of the TCI Systems, and (B) the Partnership will not, and will not permit any Person (including, without limitation, the General Manager) other than @Home and its Controlled Affiliates (as defined in the @Home Distribution Agreement) to, provide or distribute Exclusive Internet Services using the cable plant and equipment of the TCI Systems, in each case without the prior written consent of TCI, and (ii) the terms and provisions relating to the Partnership’s obligations with respect to the distribution of the @Home Service over the TCI Systems will be as set forth in the @Home Agreement. The Partners hereby agree that (i)(A) ServiceCo will be the exclusive provider of the Exclusive Internet Services over the cable plant and equipment of the TWE-A/N Systems, and (B) the Partnership will not, and will not permit any Person (including the General Manager) other than ServiceCo to, provide or distribute Exclusive Internet Services using the cable plant and equipment of the TWE-A/N Systems, in each case without the prior written consent of TWE-A/N, and (ii) the terms and provisions relating to the Partnership’s obligations with respect to the distribution of the ServiceCo’s Exclusive Internet Services over the TWE-A/N Systems will be set forth in an affiliation agreement to be entered into by the Partnership and ServiceCo. The General Manager shall give due and good faith consideration, based upon the best interests of the Partnership, to the use of either @Home or ServiceCo in connection with the provision of Internet Services offered through any other systems acquired by the Partnership. The Partnership will use its commercially reasonable efforts to offer the @Home Service through a TCI System within a period of time generally comparable to the period of time in which ServiceCo’s services are offered through a TWE-A/N System, in each case after the bandwidth capacity and other technical features of such System have been upgraded to the technological standard necessary to offer such services through such System. If the

General Manager in good faith determines that it is in the best interests of the Partnership to distribute ServiceCo’s services over those TCI Systems having service areas within the Houston, Texas ADI/DMA, then the General Manager may request that TCI permit ServiceCo to be the exclusive provider of such Internet Services over such TCI Systems in exchange for the @Home Service becoming the exclusive provider of Exclusive Internet Services in certain mutually agreed TWE-A/N Systems. If the Partners agree upon the terms and conditions of an arrangement to accomplish the foregoing, then subject to the terms of such agreement, such TCI Systems will become distributors of ServiceCo’s services as if such Systems were TWE-A/N Systems, and such TWE-A/N Systems will become distributors of the @Home Service as if such Systems were TCI Systems, and thereafter the TWE-A/N Systems which become distributors of the @Home Service shall become subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.4(a) and the @Home Agreement.

(b) To the extent not inconsistent with any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or judgment, (i) the Partnership shall continue to carry on each TCI System each Designated Programming Service that is being carried on such TCI System as of the Closing to the extent then being carried on such TCI System and (ii) as soon as practicable during the rebuild of each TCI System, as channel capacity becomes available, the Partnership shall carry on such TCI System the Designated Programming Services designated with an asterisk (“*”) on Schedule 6.4(b), in each case until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the Closing and the termination or expiration of the term (set forth on Schedule 6.4(b)) of the applicable affiliation agreement (each, a “Pre-existing Affiliation Agreement”) and, with respect to WEB TV, subject to any carriage restrictions set forth in the Pre-existing Affiliation Agreement relating to WEB TV; provided, that if carrying any Designated Programming Service on any TCI System becomes impracticable, the General Manager may satisfy, to the extent permitted by the applicable affiliation agreement, the Partnership’s obligation under this Section 6.4(b) with respect to such Designated Programming Service on such TCI System by substituting one or more other cable television systems managed by the General Manager serving at least as many subscribers as the TCI System with respect to which carriage of such Designated Programming Service shall have become impracticable, but only if the subscribers served by such substitute systems are treated as being served by TCI for purposes of determining whether TCI shall have fulfilled its obligation under the applicable Pre-Existing Affiliation Agreement.

6.5 Telephony Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (and without prejudice to the Partnership’s position that, for purposes of the Sprint Agreement, it is not an “Affiliate” of the Ultimate Parent of TCI) the Partners agree as follows:

(a) Capitalized terms used in this Section 6.5 that appear within quotation marks shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Sprint Agreement as originally executed and without amendment or modification by the parties unless accepted in writing by each Partner other than TCI and TCI GP. When making the covenants set forth in this Section 6.5, the Partnership is expressly relying, among other provisions in the Sprint Agreement, on the statements set forth in the Sprint

Agreement that (i) “Local Telephony Services” shall not include “Advanced Data Services,” the “Non-Exclusive Services,” and the “Excluded Businesses,” and (ii) “Excluded Business” means, among other things, the provision of entertainment and, except to the limited extent contemplated in the definition of “Non-Exclusive Services,” other content-based services.

(b) Prior to the earlier of (i) January 31, 1999, and (ii) such time as the Ultimate Parent of TCI is no longer bound by restrictive terms of the Sprint Agreement, the Partnership will not offer (or promote or package any of its products or services with or act as a sales agent for) any (A) “Long Distance Telephony Services” or “Local Telephony Services” under the “Brand” of an “RBOC” or an “IXC” or (B) “Non-Exclusive Services” under the “Brand” of an “IXC” or a “RBOC” packaged with “Local Telephony Services.”

(c) Prior to the earlier of (i) January 31, 1999, and (ii) such time as the Ultimate Parent of TCI is no longer bound by the restrictive terms of the Sprint Agreement, the Partnership will not make “Rights of Use” for “Local Telephony Services” available on its distribution facilities to a third party other than “Teleport” (including its successors pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger among AT&T Corp., TA Merger Corp. and Teleport Communications Group, Inc. dated as of January 8, 1998) without making the same facilities similarly available to Sprint Corporation in accordance with the terms of the Sprint Agreement; provided, however, the Partnership itself may offer “Local Telephony Services” and may make its distribution facilities available to any “Affiliate” of the Partnership that may offer “Local Telephony Services” (in each case, subject to the restrictions in the preceding paragraph) without in either case offering its distribution facilities to Sprint Corporation.

(d) Prior to the earlier of (i) January 31, 1999, and (ii) such time as the Ultimate Parent of TCI is no longer bound by the restrictive terms of the Sprint Agreement, the Partnership will not make “Rights of Use” available on its distribution facilities to an “RBOC” or an “IXC” for the provision of “Advanced Data Services” without making the same facilities similarly available to Sprint Corporation in accordance with the terms of the Sprint Agreement.

(e) The covenants of the Partnership in Sections 6.5(b), (c) and (d) shall not apply with respect to a “Bulk Purchaser” in circumstances where, in the reasonable judgment of the Partners, the Partnership needs to offer to a “Bulk Purchaser” of cable television services a package of services which include one or more “Local Telephony Services” and/or “Long Distance Telephony Services” in order to compete with an actual or anticipated offer to such “Bulk Purchaser” by a provider unaffiliated with the Ultimate Parent of TCI (whether facilities-based, as a reseller or agent or otherwise) of television/telephony services and the needed service is not then available to the Partnership from Sprint Corporation on competitive economic terms. The covenants of the Partnership to make its distribution facilities available to Sprint Corporation, as set forth in Section 6.5(c) and (d), shall not become applicable solely as a result of the provision of such services to the “Bulk Purchaser.”

(f) The Partnership’s obligations under this Section 6.5 shall be subject to any contrary provisions of any agreements with Persons (other than the Ultimate Parent of TCI or a Controlled Affiliate of the Ultimate Parent of TCI) to which the TWE-A/N Systems are subject prior to the time such Systems were contributed by TWE-A/N and TWE-A/N GP or otherwise acquired by the Partnership.

6.6 Excess Inventory. To the extent reasonably practicable, the Partnership shall purchase new and unused materials for the rebuild of the TCI Systems from TCI or one or more Affiliates of TCI at purchase prices equivalent to the values carried on TCI’s or such Affiliate’s balance sheet; provided that (a) such prices and the other terms of purchase (including warranties) are no less favorable to the Partnership than those available to the Partnership from any vendor of such materials, (b) the materials are of the type the General Manager reasonably desires to utilize in the rebuild of the TCI Systems, and (c) such materials shall be of a quality that is equal to or greater than the quality of materials available from any vendor.

6.7 Partner Buying Power. Each Partner shall use its reasonable best efforts to make available to the Partnership, and to the General Manager for the benefit of the Partnership, its buying power, without profit or commission, in connection with the acquisition, development, maintenance and operation of the assets and properties that comprise the Systems.

6.8 Time Warner Social Contract. Each Partner acknowledges that the TWE-A/N Systems are, and will continue to be, within the provisions of the Social Contract for Time Warner Cable entered into with the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) by TWE-A/N, TWE and TWI Cable Inc. (the “Social Contract”). The Partners further acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 7.24 of the Contribution Agreement, the General Manager, on behalf of the Partnership, will have the exclusive right and power to make all decisions regarding all matters arising under or with respect to the Social Contract, including the decision to include one or more of the TCI Systems within the provisions of the Social Contract. If and when the General Manager decides that any of the TCI Systems should be added to the provisions of the Social Contract, the General Manager, on behalf of the Partnership, shall prepare and submit to the FCC a request seeking the required FCC approval and, concurrently with the grant of such FCC approval, shall provide a copy of the Social Contract to each local franchising authority representing a TCI System to be added to the provisions of the Social Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Partnership is required to distribute to TCI or TCI GP one or more Systems that have been included within the provisions of the Social Contract, TCI or TCI GP shall have the right to elect not to have the provisions of the Social Contract continue to apply to any such System from and after the date of such distribution. If TCI or TCI GP irrevocably elects not to have the provisions of the Social Contract continue to apply to any such System, then (a) TWE-A/N, with the cooperation of the General Manager, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such steps as may be required of the General Manager to exclude such System from the Social Contract from and after such date of distribution, (b) as soon as reasonably practicable after such date of distribution, TCI and TCI GP (i) shall give each

“Cable Programming Service Tier” subscriber of such System as of such date of distribution (the “CPST Subscribers”) any refund (in the form of a prospective xxxx credit) that such CPST Subscriber may be eligible to receive pursuant to the Social Contract, (ii) shall reflect such prospective xxxx credit on a regular monthly billing statement by TCI or TCI GP and (iii) shall describe such xxxx credit as the refund required and calculated pursuant to the Social Contract, and (c) TWE-A/N shall reimburse TCI for one-half of the aggregate amount of any such refunds to the extent relating to the period of time through such date of distribution.

6.9 Furnishing of Employees by TWE-A/N.

(a) TWE-A/N shall furnish to the Partnership the services of individuals (the “Personnel”) to conduct the business of the Partnership, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Contribution Agreement and the Management Agreement. All Personnel shall be employees of TWE-A/N and not of the Partnership. The General Manager shall recruit, select, employ, promote, terminate, supervise, direct, train and assign the duties of all Personnel, and may change or replace any such individual at any time, in each case in its sole discretion.

(b) The Partnership shall pay to TWE-A/N or its Affiliates, if appropriate, on a current basis (or, if applicable, not later than the 10th day following an Event of Termination), an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the items listed below:

(i) the gross wages (including payroll taxes) of all Personnel providing services to the Partnership for the quarter;

(ii) TWE-A/N’s identifiable, indirect, administrative costs directly attributable to the Personnel providing services to the Partnership for the relevant period;

(iii) the cost of workers’ compensation insurance incurred by TWE-A/N with respect to the Personnel for the relevant period;

(iv) an amount equal to TWE-A/N’s expense for employee benefit plans on behalf of any Personnel, including pension, savings, medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance made during the relevant period;

(v) an amount equal to TWE-A/N’s payments for other benefits, including fringe benefits, the employee assistance program, sick leave, adoption assistance and educational assistance;

(vi) a reasonably allocated portion of TWE-A/N’s overhead expense for Personnel and all other individuals providing direct support services (such as payroll, accounts payable and human resource functions) to the Partnership, including expenses related to payroll accounting and benefit management for the relevant period;

(vii) all incremental identifiable, direct costs related to the plans or programs listed in Section 3(c)(xvi) of the Management Agreement, including incremental costs of charges or premiums, employee participation, or actuarial reports; and

(viii) all other costs and expenses incurred by TWE-A/N or its Affiliates and attributable to the Personnel providing services to the Partnership.

(c) Upon exercise by any member of the Personnel (each, an “Eligible Option Holder”) of employee options to purchase securities of Time Warner Inc. or any of its Affiliates (“TWX Securities”), the Partnership shall pay to TWE-A/N for each share of stock or each $1,000 principal amount of debt securities, as the case may be (such share or $1,000 principal amount being referred to herein as a “unit” of TWX Securities), issuable upon exercise of such options an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Closing Price of a unit of such TWX Securities as of the date of exercise, over (ii) either (A) for options issued prior to the Closing Date, the greater of (1) the exercise price paid by such Eligible Option Holder for each such unit of TWX Securities and (2) the Closing Price of a unit of such TWX Securities on the Closing Date, or (B) for options issued after the Closing Date, the exercise price paid by such Eligible Option Holder for each such unit of TWX Securities.

(d) All items in Section 6.9(b) and (c) relating to expenses associated with individuals who are employed by TWE-A/N or an Affiliate of TWE-A/N to provide less than full-time services to the Partnership will be pro-rated based on the relative amount of time spent by such individuals in performing the services provided to the Partnership on the one hand and the services provided to the other businesses of TWE-A/N or such Affiliate on the other hand.

(e) The Partnership shall indemnify TWE-A/N, any Affiliate of TWE-A/N, and any officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, employee or agent of TWE-A/N or any Affiliate thereof, from and against any and all Damages arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively, “Claims”), arising out of or otherwise related to TWE-A/N’s employment of the Personnel and the furnishing of such Personnel to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 6.9.

(f) TWE-A/N shall furnish to the Partnership the services of the Personnel pursuant to this Section 6.9 in its capacity as an independent contractor, and not in its capacity as a Limited Partner, of the Partnership. Accordingly, in furnishing the services of the Personnel to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 6.9, TWE-A/N shall in no way be deemed to be participating in the control of the business of the Partnership.

ARTICLE VII

TRANSFERS

7.1 General Restrictions. Except as otherwise permitted in this Article VII, without the express written consent of each Partner, no Partner shall Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Interest. A Partner shall be deemed to have “indirectly” Transferred its Interest upon the Transfer or issuance of Equity Securities of such Partner or any Parent of such Partner, unless immediately prior to such Transfer or issuance of Equity Securities (a) the Fair Market Value of such Partner’s Interest constituted less than 50% of the Fair Market Value of the cable television systems owned, directly or indirectly, by the Person whose Equity Securities were Transferred or issued and (b) the Person whose Equity Securities were Transferred or issued owned, directly or indirectly, cable television systems serving at least one million subscribers (other than subscribers served by cable television systems owned by the Partnership). Any such Transfer or issuance shall be deemed to constitute a Transfer by such Partner in violation of this Agreement and shall be void ab initio, and the Partnership shall not recognize any such Transfer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights of a Partner hereunder are personal to it and, other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, no Partner shall (and each Partner shall cause its Affiliates not to) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding, written or oral, pursuant to which it shall Transfer, or otherwise grant to or provide any Person, directly or indirectly, with any of its rights or interests under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of the Transfer or issuance of Equity Securities of a Partner or Parent of a Partner who is the General Manager or an Affiliate of the General Manager that is deemed not to be an “indirect Transfer” according to the second sentence of this Section 7.1, the General Manager and its Affiliates own, in the aggregate, directly and indirectly, a Percentage Interest which is less than the Percentage Interest owned by the General Manager and its Affiliates, in the aggregate, directly and indirectly, immediately prior to such Transfer or issuance, (x) the General Partner which, immediately prior to such Transfer, was not an Affiliate of the General Manager, shall designate itself or another qualified Person to become, for all purposes under this Agreement and the Management Agreement, the General Manager of the Partnership in place of the Person who was acting as General Manager at the effective time of such Transfer or issuance, (y) the Related Partners which, immediately prior to such Transfer or issuance, were Affiliates of the General Manager shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Related Partners who are not Affiliates of the General Manager with respect to the General Manager under this Agreement and the Management Agreement, and (z) the parties shall enter into appropriate transition arrangements to implement the foregoing as soon as reasonably practicable following such Transfer or issuance.

7.2 Permitted Transfers. Except as otherwise specified herein, the provisions of Section 7.1 shall not apply to the following Transfers (each of which shall be deemed to constitute a “Permitted Transfer”, and each Transferee of a Permitted Transfer of Interests shall be referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) no Partner may Transfer less than all of its Interest (other than as provided in Sections 7.2(b) or 7.5(c)) and (ii) no Partner may Transfer its Interest to any Person (other than as provided in Section 7.2(b)) without also causing to be Transferred to such Person (or an Affiliate of such Person) all

of the Interests then owned by all of such Partner’s Affiliates (including its Related Partner):

(a) any Transfer of Interests in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.3, 7.4 or 8.3(b);

(b) any Transfer of Interests to an Affiliate of TWE-A/N, TWE-A/N GP, TCI or TCI GP, provided that prior to the occurrence of any event that will result in such Affiliate no longer being an Affiliate of the Ultimate Parent of TWE-A/N or TCI, or the Ultimate Parent of any Permitted Transferee pursuant to Sections 7.2(a), (c) or (d), as the case may be, such Affiliate shall Transfer its Interest to an Affiliate of such Ultimate Parent (it being understood that the proviso of this clause (b) shall not apply to and shall in no way be construed to prohibit any Transfer not deemed to be an “indirect Transfer” according to the second sentence of Section 7.1) ;

(c) any Transfer of Interests or Equity Securities by a Partner or a Parent of a Partner, if such Transfer is in connection with the transfer to the Permitted Transferee of substantially all of the cable television systems owned, directly or indirectly, by the Ultimate Parent of such Partner; and

(d) any Transfer of Interests by TWE-A/N or TWE-A/N GP or any Affiliate of either of them to Advance/Xxxxxxxx or UMG or wholly-owned Affiliate of either of them; provided that, upon the effective date of any Permitted Transfer of the Interests owned by TWE-A/N and TWE-A/N GP or any Affiliate of TWE-A/N or TWE-A/N GP pursuant to this Section 7.2(d), (i) TCI GP shall designate itself or another qualified Person to become the General Manager of the Partnership in place of TWC for all purposes under this Agreement and the Management Agreement, (ii) any Permitted Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.2(d) shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of TCI GP and TCI as Partners that are not the General Manager or Affiliates of the General Manager with respect to the General Manager under this Agreement and the Management Agreement and (iii) the parties shall enter into appropriate transition arrangements to implement the foregoing as soon as reasonably practicable following such Transfer.

7.3 Right of First Refusal.

(a) (i) If a Partner shall receive a bona fide offer in writing (a “bona fide offer”) from a third party or third parties which is or are not Permitted Transferee(s) (other than pursuant to Section 7.2(a)) of such Partner (collectively, a “Third Party Purchaser”) to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Partner’s and its Related Partner’s Interests for cash and such Partner and its Related Partner (collectively, the “Selling Partners”) shall propose to Transfer all of their Interests in accordance with such bona fide offer, then the Selling Partners shall, in the manner set forth in this Section 7.3, afford the other Partners (the “Offeree Partners”) a right of first refusal to acquire all (but not less than all) of the Selling Partners’ Interest at the price (in cash) and otherwise on the same terms offered to the Selling Partners by such Third Party Purchaser.

(ii) Upon receipt of a bona fide offer from a Third Party Purchaser, the Selling Partners shall give notice to the Offeree Partners of their intention to sell all (but not less than all) of their Interests to such Third Party Purchaser (an “Offer Notice”), enclosing with such Offer Notice a complete and correct copy of the bona fide offer setting forth all the terms thereof, including the proposed purchase price.

(iii) Upon receipt of the Offer Notice, the Offeree Partners shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase (or have one or more financially qualified designees purchase) all of the Selling Partners’ Interests for the price (in cash), and otherwise upon the terms and conditions, contained in the bona fide offer. The right of the Offeree Partners shall be exercisable by written notice to the Selling Partners, with copies to the Partnership, given within sixty days after receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Notice Period”). Any such exercise of such first refusal rights shall constitute a binding agreement by the Offeree Partners to purchase (or have one or more financially qualified designees purchase) the Selling Partners’ Interests on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice. Failure of the Offeree Partners to respond within the Notice Period shall be regarded as a waiver of their first refusal rights hereunder.

(b) The closing of the purchase of the Selling Partners’ Interests subscribed to by the Offeree Partner under clause (a) above shall be held at the principal office of the Partnership no later than the one hundred twentieth day after the date the Offer Notice was given or on such other date as agreed by the Selling Partners and the Offeree Partners, or their designees (as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 7.5(a)). The Offeree Partners shall deliver at the closing the payment required hereunder in cash. At such closing, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such additional documents as are otherwise necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of the foregoing.

(c) In the event that the Offeree Partners do not elect to purchase or have one or more financially qualified designees purchase all of the Selling Partners’ Interests in accordance with Sections 7.3(a) and (b), then the Selling Partners may Transfer their Interests to the Third Party Purchaser; provided that such Transfer is made (i) in accordance with all provisions of this Article VII, (ii) at a price and upon other terms that are no more favorable to the Third Party Purchaser than the price and other terms set forth in the Offer Notice, and (iii) within one hundred eighty days after the expiration of the Notice Period.

(d) The Selling Partners do not hereby waive any claims or remedies they may have in law or equity against the Offeree Partners in case the Offeree Partners elect to purchase (or to cause designees to purchase) and wrongfully fail so to purchase the Selling Partners’ Interests.

(e) No notice may be given under this Section 7.3 while any Buy-Sell Procedure or Dissolution Procedure is pending, or after an Event of Termination has occurred.

7.4 Buy-Sell Procedure.

(a) Subject to Section 7.4(j), at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, either set of Related Partners (the “Initiating Partners”) may, at their option, elect to initiate the Buy-Sell Procedure set forth in this Section 7.4 (the “Buy-Sell Procedure”). In such event, the Initiating Partners shall notify the other Partners (the “Non-Initiating Partners”) of their intention to initiate the Buy-Sell Procedure. Such notice (the “Buy-Sell Notice”) shall include a statement by the Initiating Partners of their determination of the amount that equals the gross Fair Market Value of the Partnership’s assets and properties less the Partnership’s debts and liabilities (and related reserves) described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 8.2(c) (the “Stated Value”).

(b) Within ninety days after receipt of the Buy-Sell Notice, the Non-Initiating Partners shall elect one of the following three alternatives:

(i) to purchase (or designate one or more financially qualified third parties to purchase) the Initiating Partners’ Interests at the Buy-Sell Price (as defined below);

(ii) to sell their Interests to the Initiating Partners (or one or more financially qualified designees of the Initiating Partners) at the Buy-Sell Price; or

(iii) to initiate a Dissolution Procedure in accordance with Section 8.4, if it is then after the seventh anniversary of the Closing.

In the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the “Buy-Sell Price” shall be equal to the amount each of the Transferring Partners (as defined below) would have received in respect of their Interests if the Partnership’s assets and properties were sold for an amount equal to the Stated Value and the proceeds thereof were distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 8.2(c)(iv) and (v). The failure of the Non-Initiating Partners to notify the Initiating Partners of their election pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(b) shall be deemed to be an election by the Non-Initiating Partners to sell their Interests. If the Non-Initiating Partners elect or are deemed to elect to sell their Interests pursuant to this Section 7.4(b), then such Non-Initiating Partners shall be referred to as the “Transferring Partners” and the Initiating Partners shall be referred to as the “Purchasing Partners.” If the Non-Initiating Partners elect to purchase the Initiating Partners’ Interests pursuant to this Section 7.4(b), then such Non-Initiating Partners shall be referred to as the “Purchasing Partners” and the Initiating Partners shall be referred to as the “Transferring Partners.” If the Non-Initiating Partners shall have made the election described in clause (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 7.4(b), (1) such election shall be deemed to be a Dissolution Notice given in accordance with Section 8.4(a), (2) the Non-Initiating Partners shall be deemed to be the “Dividing Partners” and the Initiating Partners shall be deemed to be the “Selecting Partners,” and (3) the Partners shall otherwise proceed in accordance with Sections 8.4(c)-(f).

(c) If the Buy-Sell Procedure was initiated prior to or on the seventh anniversary of the Closing and the Non-Initiating Partners made either of the elections described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of Section 7.4(b), the Transferring Partners shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.4(d), (e), (f) or (g). If the Buy-Sell Procedure was initiated after the seventh anniversary of the Closing and the Non-Initiating Partners made either of the elections described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 7.4(b), then:

(i) the Transferring Partners shall not be entitled to make any of the elections provided in Sections 7.4(d), (e) or (f); and

(ii) the Partners shall take all action reasonably necessary to consummate the sale of the Transferring Partners’ Interests to the Purchasing Partners (or their qualified designees) in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.4(g), (h) and (i).

(d) Following the election described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of Section 7.4(b) or the deemed election described in Section 7.4(b), at the election of the Transferring Partners, or following the election described in Section 7.4(e)(1), the Partners shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on a tax efficient transaction structure for the sale by the Transferring Partners to the Purchasing Partners of their Interests, including the form and value of the consideration to be paid as well as appropriate adjustments to the Buy-Sell Price to the extent such an adjustment is appropriate to reflect the tax efficient nature of such transaction. Transaction structures to be discussed by the Partners may include a tax-deferred share exchange, stock-for-stock merger or similar transaction involving the capital stock of the Transferring Partners or the publicly traded capital stock of an upstream Affiliate of the Transferring Partners and the publicly traded capital stock of the Purchasing Partners or of an upstream Affiliate of the Purchasing Partners; provided that (i) any capital stock to be issued in connection with any such transaction shall be available for issuance without shareholder action or registration under the Securities Act; (ii) all third party and partner, member and stockholder consents required to be obtained in connection with such transaction shall be obtained; (iii) the terms and conditions of such transaction shall be otherwise usual and customary; (iv) the holding of the capital stock of the Purchasing Partners or its upstream Affiliate by the Transferring Partners shall be legally permissible; and (v) a mutually acceptable registration rights agreement shall be negotiated.

(e) If the Partners do not reach agreement with respect to the terms of a tax efficient transaction structure within sixty days following the election or deemed election described in Section 7.4(b) or the election described in clause (1) of the next sentence of this Section 7.4(e), then

(i) the Transferring Partners may exercise the termination right provided in Section 7.4(f), if such right is then exercisable;

(ii) the Transferring Partners may elect to sell their Interests to the Purchasing Partners pursuant to Section 7.4(g); or

(iii) if the Transferring Partners were the Non-Initiating Partners, such Non-Initiating Partners may elect to change their elections made pursuant to Section 7.4(b) by electing to purchase from the Initiating Partners the Initiating Partners’ Interests in accordance with the provisions of the next sentence.

If the Non-Initiating Partners make the election provided for in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Initiating Partner shall have the right to elect:

(1) to cause the Partners to negotiate in good faith to reach a tax efficient transaction structure pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.4(d);

(2) to exercise the termination right provided in Section 7.4(f), if such right is then exercisable; or

(3) to sell to the Non-Initiating Partners their Interests pursuant to Section 7.4(g).

If the Non-Initiating Partners make the election provided for in clause (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 7.4(e), the Initiating Partners shall be referred to as the “Transferring Partners” and the Non-Initiating Partners shall be referred to as the “Purchasing Partners” for the purposes of determining the Buy-Sell Price pursuant to Section 7.4(b) and for purposes of Sections 7.4(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h), as applicable. The failure by the Transferring Partners to make an election under this Section 7.4(e) within thirty days of the date such Partners are first entitled to make an election hereunder shall be deemed to be an election consummate the sale of their Interests pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.4(g).

(f) The Transferring Partners may elect to terminate the Buy-Sell Procedure by giving notice to the Purchasing Partners at any time prior to the time that the Transferring Partners become obligated to sell their Interests to the Purchasing Partners pursuant to Section 7.4(g); provided that this right shall be available to the Transferring Partners only during the first Buy-Sell Procedure invoked, regardless of which set of Related Partners are the Initiating Partners with respect to such Buy-Sell Procedure.

(g) If any of the following shall have occurred:

(i) the Buy-Sell Procedure was initiated prior to or on the seventh anniversary of the Closing and (A) the Transferring Partners elect, or are deemed under the final sentence of Section 7.4(e) to have elected, to sell their Interests in accordance with this Section 7.4(g), or (B) the Transferring Partners otherwise so elect at any time following the election or deemed election described in Section 7.4(b) or the election described in Section 7.4(e)(iii);

(ii) the Buy-Sell Procedure was initiated after the seventh anniversary of the Closing and the Non-Initiating Partners made either of the elections described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of Section 7.4(b); or

(iii) the Selecting Partners shall have made the election provided for in clause (ii) of Section 8.4(d) in accordance with the terms thereof,

then the Partners shall take all action reasonably necessary to consummate the sale of the Transferring Partners’ Interests to the Purchasing Partners (or their qualified designees) at a purchase price payable in cash equal to the Buy-Sell Price.

(h) Upon reaching an agreement concerning the structure and other terms by which the Purchasing Partners or their designees shall purchase the Interests of the Transferring Partners (the “Buy-Sell Transaction”), the business and affairs of the Partnership shall continue to be conducted in the ordinary course as provided in this Agreement, unaffected by the pendency of the Buy-Sell Transaction.

(i) The closing of a Buy-Sell Transaction pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be held at a mutually acceptable place on a mutually acceptable date not more than ninety days after the date that the structure and terms of the Buy-Sell Transaction are agreed to pursuant to this Section 7.4 (subject to extension pursuant to Section 7.5(a)). At such closing, the Purchasing Partners (or their qualified designees) shall acquire, directly or indirectly, as the case may be, the Transferring Partner’s Interests, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, against payment of the purchase price therefor, and the Partners shall execute such documents as may be necessary to effectuate the sale. Unless otherwise agreed by the Purchasing Partners and the Transferring Partners, the purchase price shall be payable by wire transfer of funds or by certified or cashier’s check drawn to the order of the Transferring Partners, as specified by the Transferring Partners; provided, however, that the parties may agree that all or any portion of the purchase price shall be payable in the first month after the close of the taxable year in which the transfer occurs. The Purchasing Partners shall assume the obligations of the Transferring Partners under this Agreement, and the Transferring Partners shall be released therefrom, except for those obligations or liabilities of the Transferring Partners arising out of a breach of this Agreement.

(j) No Buy-Sell Notice may be given while any Offer Notice is pending, or after an Event of Termination has occurred.

7.5 Additional Provisions Relating to Transfer. In the case of any Transfer under Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 8.3(b) of this Agreement:

(a) The time period within which the Transfer of Related Partner Interests must be consummated shall be automatically extended until the tenth day following the receipt of all governmental approvals which may be required in connection with the Transfer, if applications for such approvals have been made within such prescribed periods.

(b) In connection with the Transfer of Interests, the Transferors will be obligated to sell to the Transferees, and the Transferees will be obligated to buy from the Transferors, a pro rata portion of all evidences of indebtedness of the Partnership held directly or indirectly by the Transferors for an amount, payable in cash, equal to the outstanding principal amount of such pro rata portion at the time of transfer plus interest on such pro rata portion then accrued and unpaid. The Transferees shall further be required to pay a pro rata portion of any and all filing and recording fees, fees of counsel and accountants and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Partnership as a result of such Transfers.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the non-Transferring Partner, no Transfer of an Interest pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 8.3(b) shall be made except upon terms which would not, in the opinion of counsel chosen by and mutually acceptable to the Partners, result in the termination of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code. If the immediate Transfer of the offered Interest would, in the opinion of such counsel, cause such a termination, then if, in the opinion of such counsel, the following action would not precipitate such termination, the Transferor Partner shall be required (i) to immediately Transfer only that portion of its Interest (which may consist of all of the Transferor Partner’s Interest other than a portion of the Transferor Partner’s capital interest in the Partnership) as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, be Transferred without causing such a termination, and (ii) to enter into an agreement to Transfer the remainder of its Interest, in one or more Transfers, at the earliest date or dates on which such Transfer or Transfers may be effected without causing such termination; provided, that during the period that such Transferor Partner continues to own a portion of its Interest pending its sale to the Transferee of the other portion of such Interest, such Transferor Partner and such Transferee shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as one Partner. The purchase price for the Interest shall be allocated between the immediate Transfer and the deferred Transfer or Transfers pro rata on the basis of the percentage of the aggregate Interest being Transferred, each portion to be payable when the respective Transfer is consummated, unless otherwise agreed by the parties to the Transfer. In determining whether a particular proposed Transfer will result in a termination of the Partnership, counsel to the Partnership (i) shall take into account the existence of prior written commitments to Transfer made pursuant to this Section 7.5(c) and such commitments shall always be given precedence over subsequent proposed Transfers and (ii) shall take into account the Transfer by the Transferor Partner’s Related Partner.

7.6 Conditions to Transfers. In addition to all other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, prior to any Permitted Transfer of Interests pursuant to Section 7.2, (a) each Transferor shall, other than with respect to Permitted Transfers pursuant to Section 7.2(a), provide to the Partnership and each other Partner, (i) at least ten days’ prior notice of such Transfer, (ii) a certificate of such Transferor, delivered with such notice, containing a statement as to the provision(s) of Section 7.2 under which such Transfer is permissible, together with such information as is reasonably necessary for each recipient of such notice to determine whether such Transfer is permitted thereby, and (iii) such other information and documents as may be reasonably requested by each recipient of such notice in order for it to make such determination and

(b) the Permitted Transferee of such Interest shall execute and deliver to the other Partners an agreement by which it shall become a party to and be bound by the obligations, and enjoy the benefits, under the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if it were a Partner as of the closing date of such Transfer.

7.7 Effect of Permitted Transfer. Upon consummation of any Permitted Transfer of an Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (a) the Permitted Transferee shall be admitted as a Partner (if not already a Partner) and for purposes of this Agreement such Permitted Transferee shall be deemed a Partner, (b) the Transferred Interest shall continue to be subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, and (c) the Permitted Transferee shall succeed to the Transferor’s Capital Account balance at the close of business on the effective date of such Permitted Transfer. No Permitted Transfer shall relieve the Transferor of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement arising prior to the closing of the consummation of such Permitted Transfer, and the Transferor shall continue to remain liable for the performance of any obligations arising under this Agreement of any Affiliate to which it Transfers its Interest pursuant to Section 7.2(b).

7.8 Tax Allocation Adjustments; Distributions After Transfer. In the event of a Transfer of any Interest, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit for the fiscal year in which the transfer occurs shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes between the transferor and the transferee on the basis of the ownership of the Interest at the time the particular item shall have accrued. Distributions made on or after the effective date of transfer shall be made to the Permitted Transferee, regardless of when such distributions accrued on the books of the Partnership.

7.9 Admission; Withdrawal of Partners. No new Partners shall be admitted to the Partnership except with the approval of the Management Committee in accordance with Article IV or in accordance with Transfer provisions contained in this Article VII. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have the right to withdraw from the Partnership. A Partner withdrawing in violation of this Agreement shall not be entitled to receive any distribution and shall not otherwise be entitled to receive the fair value of its Interest except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of a General Partner in violation of this Agreement, the sole remaining General Partner, if any, shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to the remaining Partners within ninety days of the date such electing General Partner receives notice of the other General Partner’s withdrawal, to continue the Partnership, in which case the Partnership shall not be dissolved nor shall its affairs be wound up.

ARTICLE VIII

DURATION AND TERMINATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

8.1 Events of Termination. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.4 (in the case of clause (d) below) upon the first to occur of any of the following events (an “Event of Termination”):

(a) the termination of the Contribution Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 thereof;

(b) the unanimous written consent of the Partners to dissolution;

(d) the initiation of the Dissolution Procedure by any Partner pursuant to Section 8.4;

(e) the occurrence of an Event of Default; provided, however, in addition to the rights specified in Section 8.3(b), the non-defaulting Partners shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to the other Partners within ninety days of the date such non-defaulting Partners receive notice of such Event of Default, to continue the Partnership, in which case the Partnership shall not be dissolved nor shall its affairs be wound up.

(f) the Partnership files a petition in bankruptcy, petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or any trustee for it or a substantial part of its assets, commences any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, or suffers the filing of any such petition or application, or the commencement of any such proceeding, against it in which an order for relief is entered or which remains undismissed for a period of sixty days; or

(g) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under § 17-802 of the Act.

8.2 Winding-Up. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination (other than pursuant to Section 8.1(d)) and the failure of the Partner(s) to continue the Partnership as provided herein, the Partnership affairs shall be wound up as follows:

(a) The Management Committee shall cause to be prepared a statement of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of dissolution.

(b) The assets and properties of the Partnership shall be liquidated as promptly as possible, and receivables collected, all in an orderly and businesslike manner so as not to involve undue sacrifice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Management Committee may determine not to sell all or any portion of the assets and properties of the Partnership, in which event such assets and properties shall be distributed in kind pursuant to Section 8.2(c).

(c) The proceeds of liquidation under Section 8.2(b) and all other assets and properties of the Partnership shall be applied and distributed as follows in the following order of priority:

(i) to the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership, excluding any amounts which may be owed to any Partner, and the expenses of liquidation;

(ii) to establishing any reserves that the Management Committee, in accordance with sound business judgment, deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, which reserves may be paid over by the Management Committee to an escrow agent selected by it to be held by such agent for the purpose of (A) distributing such reserves in payment of the aforementioned contingencies and (B) upon the expiration of such period as the Management Committee may deem advisable, distributing the balance thereof in the manner provided in this Section 8.2(c);

(iii) to the payment of all amounts owed to any Partner other than loans or on account of their Capital Accounts, and then to loans to the Partnership made by Partners in proportion to each Partner’s Percentage Interest, provided that if the aggregate amount of each Partner’s outstanding loans, including accrued interest, shall not be in the same proportion to the total of all outstanding loans of Partners as each Partner’s Percentage Interest, then payments hereunder shall be first applied to reduce the loan balance of the Partner whose proportion of the outstanding loans is in excess of its Percentage Interest until the outstanding loans to each Partner are in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests;

(iv) to the Partners in payment of the balances in their respective Capital Accounts (as adjusted in accordance with Section 3.3); and

(v) to the Partners in proportion to each Partner’s Percentage Interest.

8.3 Events of Default.

(a) An “Event of Default” shall be considered to have occurred if any Partner:

(i) Fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement or any of its indemnification obligations under the Contribution Agreement and continues such failure for twenty days after it has been given written notice by any nondefaulting Partner that is not an Affiliate of the defaulting Partner (provided, however, that if the failure is not a failure to pay money and is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within twenty days, but if it is curable and the defaulting Partner in good faith begins efforts to cure it within twenty days and continues diligently to do so, it shall have a reasonable additional period thereafter to effectuate the cure), or TCI Holdings, Inc. fails to perform any obligation under the Guaranty, dated as of June 23, 1998 provided to TWE-A/N and TWE-A/N GP;

(ii) Admits in writing its inability to pay its debts; fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due; makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; files a petition in bankruptcy, petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or any trustee for it or a substantial part of its assets; commences any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; suffers the filing of any such petition or application, or the commencement of any such proceeding, against it in which an order for relief is entered or which remains undismissed for a period of sixty days; or by any act or omission indicates its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such petition, application or proceeding or order for relief or the appointment of a custodian, receiver or any trustee for it or any substantial part of any of its properties, or shall suffer any such custodianship, receivership or trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of sixty days;

(iii) Transfers in any way its Interest, except as permitted in this Agreement, or suffers such Transfer;

(iv) Otherwise causes the dissolution of the Partnership in contravention of this Agreement.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Related Partners, neither of whom is a nondefaulting Partner (the “Non-Defaulting Partners”), shall have the right, in addition to the right specified in the proviso to Section 8.1(e), to elect to continue the business of the Partnership as a successor partnership without liquidation of its affairs by giving written notice of such election to the other Partners within forty-five days of the date the non-defaulting Partners receive notice of such Event of Default. If such election is made, the Non-Defaulting Partners shall, within ninety days after the notice of such election has been given, pay, or cause a Person or Persons designated by them to pay, to the defaulting Partner and the defaulting Partner’s Related Partner (collectively, the “Defaulting Partners”) in respect of their Interests an amount equal to the amount the Defaulting Partners would have received in respect of their Interests if the Partnership’s assets and properties were sold for an amount equal to their Fair Market Value net of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities (and related reserves) described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 8.2(c) (the “Partnership Fair Value”) and the proceeds from such sale were distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 8.2(c)(iv) and (v), and the Defaulting Partners shall Transfer to the Non-Defaulting Partners (or the Person or Persons designed by the Non-Defaulting Partners to purchase the Defaulting Partners’ Interests), free and clear all liens, claims and encumbrances, the Defaulting Partners’ Interests. Upon the purchase by the Non-Defaulting Partners (or their designees) of the Defaulting Partners’ Interests pursuant to this Section 8.3(b), the Non-Defaulting Partners, or the Person or Persons designated by the Non-Defaulting Partners to purchase the Defaulting Partners’ Interests, shall assume all obligations of the Defaulting Partners arising under this Agreement after the date of purchase except for any obligations or liabilities of the Defaulting Partners arising out of any breach of this Agreement or the Event of Default. In the event that the Non-Defaulting Partners do not elect to continue the Partnership, the affairs of the Partnership shall be wound up as

provided in Section 8.2, except that all references to the Management Committee therein shall be deemed to be references to the General Partner that is not a Defaulting Partner for purposes of applying such Section and such General Partner shall be entitled to deduct from any amounts to be paid to the Defaulting Partners under Section 8.2 the amount of damages proximately resulting to the Non-defaulting Partners from the Event of Default. The rights and remedies of each Partner set forth in this Section 8.3 shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(c) In the event that an independent appraisal of the Fair Market Value of any item or items (including the Partnership Fair Value) is required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, such appraisal shall be made by a qualified appraiser selected by agreement of the General Partners. If the General Partners are unable to agree on the selection of an appraiser, each General Partner shall select one appraiser, and the two appraisers so selected shall select an additional appraiser. Each appraiser shall determine its estimate of the Fair Market Value (or the Partnership Fair Value, as the case may be), and the average of the two determinations that are closest in result shall be the Fair Market Value (or the Partnership Fair Value, as the case may be); provided that, if the difference between the highest determination and the middle determination is exactly equal to the difference between the lowest and the middle determinations, the middle determination shall be the Fair Market Value (or the Partnership Fair Value, as the case may be).

8.4 Dissolution Procedure.

(a) Subject to Section 8.4(g), at any time after the seventh anniversary of the Closing, either set of Related Partners (the “Triggering Partners”) may, at their option, elect to initiate the Dissolution Procedure set forth in this Section 8.4 (the “Dissolution Procedure”). In such event, the Triggering Partners shall notify the other Partners (the “Non-Triggering Partners”) in writing of their intention to initiate the Dissolution Procedure (the “Dissolution Notice”).

(b) Upon receipt of a Dissolution Notice, the Non-Triggering Partners may elect to either:

(i) divide the assets and liabilities of the Partnership into two pools in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Section 8.4(c) (each, an “Asset Pool”), in which case the Non-Triggering Partners shall be referred to as the “Dividing Partners” and the Triggering Partners shall be referred to as the “Selecting Partners”; or

(ii) cause the Triggering Partners to (A) divide the assets and liabilities of the Partnership into two Asset Pools, in which case the Triggering Partners shall be referred to as the “Dividing Partners” and the Non-Triggering Partners shall be referred to as the “Selecting Partners,” and (B) deliver to the Non-Triggering Partners the Triggering Partners’ determination of the Stated Value.

The failure of the Non-Triggering Partners to notify the Triggering Partners of their election pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) within ninety days of receipt of the Dissolution Notice shall be deemed to be an election by the Non-Triggering Partners described in clause (i) of the first sentence.

(c) Within ninety days after the election or deemed election described in Section 8.4(b) or the election described in Section 7.4(b)(iii), the Dividing Partners shall deliver to the Selecting Partners a notice (the “Selection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the composition of the two Assets Pools created in accordance with this Section 8.4(c) and to be distributed in accordance with Section 8.4(e), and, in the case of an election made pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 8.4(b), the Dividing Partners’ determination of the Stated Value. The Asset Pools to be established by the Dividing Partners pursuant to this Section 8.4(c) (i) shall have equivalent net Fair Market Values and (ii) shall each contain, subject to the next sentence and the proviso to this sentence, approximately 50% of the Partnership’s assets and 50% of the Partnership’s liabilities, in each case as reasonably determined in good faith by the Dividing Partner; provided that, subject to clause (2) of the next sentence, the systems or assets serving the Houston DMA shall not be included in more than one Asset Pool. In the event the Partnership’s assets and liabilities are not capable of being divided in accordance with the principles outlined in the preceding sentence due to the size of the Houston DMA, the Dividing Partners shall adjust the assets and liabilities included in the two Asset Pools in the following manner:

(1) first, by adjusting the indebtedness to be included in the Asset Pools by such amount (not to exceed, in the aggregate, $150,000,000) as shall be necessary to comply with the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence; and

(2) second, if the adjustment described in clause (1) is insufficient, by excluding from the Asset Pool containing the systems and assets serving the Houston DMA the systems and assets set forth on Schedule 8.4(c), in the order of priority set forth on Schedule 8.4(c), until the two Asset Pools, after giving effect to the adjustments made pursuant to clause (1) and this clause (2), comply with the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence (other than the proviso contained therein).

The Dividing Partners shall provide to the Selecting Partners all information about the composition of the Asset Pools as is reasonably requested by the Selecting Partners to assist in making their selection pursuant to Section 8.4(d).

(d) Upon receipt of the Selection Notice, the Selecting Partners shall have the right to:

(i) select the Asset Pool to be distributed to them upon dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 8.4(e); or

(ii) sell their Interests to the Dividing Partners (or their qualified designees) at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to the amount the Selecting Partners would have received in respect of their Interests if the Partnership’s assets and properties were sold for an amount equal to the Stated Value and the proceeds thereof were distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 8.2(c)(iv) and (v); provided, that the right described in this clause (ii)

shall not be available to the Selecting Partners if (A) the Dissolution Procedure was initiated pursuant to an election made under Section 7.4(b)(iii) or (B) the Selecting Partners also were the Triggering Partners.

If the Selecting Partners shall fail to make the selection provided for in the preceding sentence within ninety days after the date of the Selection Notice, the Dividing Partners shall have the right to select the Asset Pool to be distributed to them upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 8.4(e). If the Dividing Partners fail to deliver a Selection Notice within ninety days of the date of the election or deemed election made in Section 8.4(b), the Selecting Partners shall have the right to divide the assets and liabilities of the Partnership into two Asset Pools in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 8.4(c) and to select the Asset Pool to be distributed to them in accordance with Section 8.4(e); provided that the Selecting Partners must divide the Asset Pools and make their selection within ninety days of the date the Selection Notice was required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 8.4(c). After a selection has been made pursuant to this Section 8.4(d) (other than a selection made pursuant to Section 8.4(d)(ii)), the amount of the Partnership’s outstanding indebtedness allocated to each Asset Pool pursuant to Section 8.4(c) shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect any differential that may exist between the aggregate Capital Account balances of, and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of indebtedness, and any interest thereon, owed by the Partnership to, the Selecting Partners, on the one hand, and the Dividing Partners, on the other hand, and the Partners shall otherwise proceed in accordance with Sections 8.4(e) and (f). If the Selecting Partners make the election provided in Section 8.4(d)(ii), the Selecting Partners shall be deemed to be the “Transferring Partners” and the Dividing Partners shall be deemed to be the “Purchasing Partners,” and the Partners shall otherwise proceed in accordance with Sections 7.4(g), (h) and (i).

(e) As soon as reasonably practicable after the selection made pursuant to Section 8.4(d) (other than a selection made pursuant to Section 8.4(d)(ii)), and subject to obtaining any required governmental or other third party consents or approvals, the systems and assets comprising the Asset Pools (as divided and adjusted pursuant to Sections 8.4(c) and (d)) shall be distributed to each set of Related Partners in accordance with the selection made pursuant to Section 8.4(d) and in accordance with each Partner’s Percentage Interest relative to its Related Partner’s Percentage Interest. In connection with the distributions contemplated by this Section 8.4(e), each set of Related Partners will execute an assumption agreement pursuant to which such Partners will assume all liabilities relating to, arising out of or otherwise attributable to the Asset Pool being distributed to them and will further agree to indemnify the other set of Related Partners for any losses such other Partners may suffer with respect to any of such liabilities. Such assumption agreement shall contain terms substantially similar to those contained in Article IV of the Contribution Agreement relating to the assumption of liabilities and Article XI of the Contribution Agreement.

(f) Until such time as all of the systems and assets comprising the Asset Pools have been distributed, the Partnership shall conduct its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice. Following the selection of an Asset Pool made pursuant to Section 8.4(d) (other than a selection made pursuant to Section 8.4(d)(ii)), to the extent permitted by law, (i) the assets comprising the Asset Pools shall for all purposes be deemed to be owned by the Partners to whom such Asset Pool is to be distributed, and (ii) until such assets are actually distributed to such Partners entitled to receive them, each Partner’s Percentage Interest shall entitle it only to a distributive share of (A) the income, gain, losses and deductions relating to, and the

assets comprising, such Partner’s portion of the Asset Pool to be distributed to it and its Related Partner.

(g) No Dissolution Notice may be given while any Offer Notice or, except as contemplated by Section 7.4(b)(iii), Buy-Sell Procedure is pending, or after an Event of Termination has occurred.

ARTICLE IX

LIABILITY; EXCULPATION; INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Liability of Partners. A Partner shall not be personally liable for any debt, obligation or other liability of the Partnership, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, except that a Partner shall remain personally liable (a) for the payment of any capital contributions required by Article III, and (b) as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Act and any other applicable law.

9.2 Liability of Covered Persons.

(a) Except as expressly provided herein, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Partnership or any other Covered Person for any Damages incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such Damages incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Partnership and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Partnership by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Partnership, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Partners might properly be paid.

9.3 Duties and Liabilities of Covered Persons. To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities related thereto to the Partnership or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

9.4 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall indemnify any Covered Person from and against any and all Damages arising from any and all Claims brought by or against the Partnership, including a Claim by or in the right of the Partnership to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that such Covered Person is or was a Partner, officer, employee or agent of the Partnership, or that

such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Partnership as a partner, member, director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be provided to or on behalf of any Covered Person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such Covered Person establishes that his or her acts constituted willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b) The Partnership and each Partner (each, a “General Manager Indemnitor”) hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the General Manager, its Affiliates, and all officers, directors, employees, stockholders, partners and agents of the General Manager and its Affiliates (each, a “General Manager Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Damages arising from any and all Claims in which the General Manager Indemnitee may be involved or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, arising out of the General Manager’s performance of its obligations under the Management Agreement or the operation of the Systems, regardless of whether this Agreement or the Management Agreement continues to be in effect or the General Manager Indemnitee continues to be an Affiliate, or an officer, director, employee, stockholder, partner or agent of the General Manager at the time any such Claims are made or Damages incurred; provided that (i) the General Manager and the General Manager Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner it reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Partnership and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful, and (ii) neither the General Manager’s conduct nor the General Manager Indemnitee’s conduct constituted gross negligence, willful misconduct or a breach of the Management Agreement.

(c) The Partnership, in the case of subsection (a), and the General Manager Indemnitor, in the case of subsection (b), shall pay expenses incurred in defending any Claim described in subsections (a) and (b) (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel and other experts) in advance of the final disposition of such Claim upon receipt by the Partnership or the General Manager Indemnitor, as the case may be, of an undertaking, in form satisfactory to the legal counsel of the Partnership or the General Manager Indemnitor, as the case may be, to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person or General Manager Indemnitee, as the case may be, is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by subsections (a) and (b) above.

(d) No Covered Person or General Manager Indemnitee, as the case may be, shall settle or compromise any Claim for which it is seeking indemnification pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) without obtaining the prior written consent of the Person providing indemnification thereto. Neither the Partnership nor the General Manager Indemnitor, as the case may be, shall settle or compromise any Claim for which it is providing indemnification pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) without obtaining the prior written consent of the Covered Person or General Manager Indemnitee, as the case may be, seeking, and entitled to, indemnification thereunder, unless such Covered Person or General Manager Indemnitee, as the case may be, is fully released and held harmless from any liability related to such Claim.

(e) The indemnification provided by this Section 9.4 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, determination of the Management Committee or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 9.4 shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a Partner, officer, employee or

agent (or other person indemnified hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such Person.

(f) The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall be a contract between the Partnership or the Partners, as the case may be, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 9.4 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Partnership, the Partners and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No repeal or modification of this Section 9.4 shall affect any rights or obligations with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or thereafter arising or any proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon such state of facts.

9.5 Insurance. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the General Manager shall deem reasonable on behalf of Covered Persons and such other Persons as the General Manager shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Partnership or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Waiver of Partition. Except as may be otherwise provided by law in connection with the winding-up, liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership, each Partner hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights that it may have to maintain an action for partition of any of the Partnership’s property.

10.2 Modifications; Waivers. This Agreement may be modified or amended only with the written consent of all Partners. The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by a writing signed by the party or parties against which such waiver is to be asserted. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party hereto of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

10.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Contribution Agreement and the Management Agreement and the documents expressly referred to herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the Partners with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreement or understanding among them with respect to such subject matter.

10.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance, shall be held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, provided that the parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to an equitable modification of the provision or application thereof held to be invalid.

10.5 Notices. Any notice, request, demand or other communication hereunder required or permitted to be given under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered in person or by first class, prepaid, registered or certified mail, or sent by courier or, if receipt is confirmed, by telecopier:

All notices will be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery, which in the case of deliveries by telecopier, will be the date of the sender’s confirmation.

10.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (other than its rules of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby).

10.7 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise specifically provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Partners, and their legal representatives, successors and assigns.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall consist one and the same instrument.

10.9 Headings. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not be deemed to alter or affect the meaning or interpretation of any provisions hereof.

10.10 Construction. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the Partnership. No one, including but not limited to the Partners or any creditor of the Partnership or any of its Partners, shall have any rights under this Agreement against any Affiliate of any Partner.

10.11 Further Actions. Each Partner shall execute and deliver such other certificates, agreements and documents, and take such other actions, as may reasonably be required in connection with the formation of the Partnership and the achievement of its purposes, including, without limitation, (a) any documents that the General Manager deems necessary or appropriate to form, qualify, or continue the Partnership in all jurisdictions in which the Partnership conducts or plans to conduct business and (b) all such agreements, certificates, tax statements and other documents, including, without limitation, all necessary applications or other requests for authority to be filed with the Federal Communications Commission, as may be required to be filed in respect of the Partnership.

10.12 No Third Party Rights. This Agreement is made solely and specifically among and for the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns (subject to the express provisions hereof relating to successors and assigns), and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any Person other than the parties hereto, and, in the case of Article IX, any Covered Persons and the General Manager Indemnitees.

10.13 Specific Performance; Attorneys Fees. The Partners agree that the remedy at law for damages upon violation of the terms of this Agreement would be inadequate because the Interests and the business of the Partnership are unique. Therefore, the Partners agree that the provisions of this Agreement may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and each Partner and its respective transferees agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the court where any such action for specific performance is brought. If any Partner defaults or is alleged to have defaulted in its performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and if, as a result of such default or alleged default, a lawsuit seeking damages, specific performance, or any other remedy is filed by any other Partner, then, in that event, the prevailing part(ies) in such a lawsuit shall be entitled to obtain costs, including attorneys’ fees, from the non-prevailing party in such amount as shall be determined by the court to be reasonable under the circumstances.

10.14 Submission to Jurisdiction. Any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be instituted only in a Federal district court located in the State of Delaware or a Chancery Court located in Wilmington County, State of Delaware and each Partner agrees not to commence legal

proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Partner in respect of any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other jurisdiction (including in any Federal or State court located in the State of Texas). Each Partner agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such claim, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the claim is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the claim is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. Each Partner further irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court in any such claim. Each Partner hereby appoints The Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx Corporation System, Inc. (the “Agent”), at the Agent’s offices of 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000, or its office at such address in Delaware as it hereafter furnishes to the other Partners, as such Partner’s authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on such Partner’s behalf service of any and all process that may be served in any such claim. Any and all service of process and any other notice in any such claim shall be effective against any Partner if given personally or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by any other means of mail that requires a signed receipt, postage prepaid, mailed to such Partner as herein provided, or by personal service on the Agent with a copy of such process mailed to such Partner by first class mail or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

10.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTNER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTNER HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTNER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTNER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTNERS HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER

INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.16 Construction. This Agreement has been negotiated by the Partners and their respective legal counsel, and legal or other equitable principles that might require the construction of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement against the Partner drafting this Agreement will not apply in any construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
