All references in the Partnership Agreement to the Comcast/Microsoft Exchange Agreement shall be to the Comcast/Microsoft
Exchange Agreement as the same may hereafter be amended; provided, that if Article 2 of the Comcast/Microsoft Exchange Agreement is amended after the date of this First Amendment in such a way that would make the obligations of the Partnership in

no Transfer shall be made pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(2) or 8.3(b) to an Affiliate in which AT&T Broadband does not hold and maintain, directly or indirectly, an economic ownership equal to at least 50.1% of the economic interest in such
Affiliate following such Transfer or in which AT&T Broadband does not have and maintain, directly or indirectly, voting control following such Transfer unless (1) AT&T Comcast agrees in writing prior to the first such Transfer, for the
benefit of Insight and the Partnership, that it will be bound by Section 8.3(a) in the place of AT&T Broadband and in the same manner that AT&T Broadband was bound by Section 8.3(a) and (2) with respect to the first such Transfer, the
failure of AT&T Broadband to maintain such economic ownership or voting control would not adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to continue immediately following such Transfer to obtain any programming or other services that it
received from AT&T Broadband or its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Transfer on terms no less favorable than it would have received but for such Transfer having been made. From and after the first Transfer pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(2) or
8.3(b) to an Affiliate in which AT&T Broadband does not hold and maintain, directly or
4
indirectly, an economic ownership equal to at least 50.1% of the economic interest in such Affiliate following such Transfer or in which
AT&T Broadband does not have and maintain, directly or indirectly, voting control following such Transfer, the references in Sections 8.1(b)(2) and 8.3(b) to “AT&T Broadband” shall be amended without further action on the part of
the Partners to be references to “AT&T Comcast.”
