A. Pursuant to the Contribution and Formation Agreement dated as of April
18, 1999 (the "Contribution Agreement"), by and between Insight Communications
Company L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Insight") and TCI of Indiana
Holdings, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("TCI"), each of TCI and
Insight contributed a 50% partnership interest in InterMedia Capital Partners
VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("ICP-VI") to Insight Midwest, L.P. As
a result of such contributions, ICP-VI was dissolved by virtue of Insight
Midwest, L.P.'s ownership of 100% of the partnership interests in ICP-VI.
B. Immediately prior to ICP-VI's dissolution, it was the sole general
partner of the Partnership, which was formerly known as InterMedia Partners
Group VI, L.P. Concurrently with the closing under the Contribution Agreement
and the resulting dissolution of ICP-VI, Insight Midwest, L.P. became the sole
general partner of the Partnership.
C. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Insight and TCI formed Insight
Kentucky Capital, LLC (owned 50% by Insight and 50% by TCI), and Insight
assigned its right to purchase a .001% limited partnership interest in the
Partnership to Insight Kentucky Capital, LLC. Concurrently with the closing of
the Contribution Agreement and the resulting dissolution of ICP-VI, Insight
Kentucky Capital, LLC purchased such limited partnership interest, resulting in
Insight Kentucky Capital, LLC becoming the sole limited partner of the
Partnership.
D. Concurrently with the closing under the Contribution Agreement, the
parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Agreement of Limited Partnership
of the Partnership dated as of October 30, 1997 in its entirety as set forth

employees, and all other reasonable costs and expenses incident to the operation
of the Partnership;
(i) to form and own one or more corporations, trusts, partnerships or

Treasury Form 8832 Entity Classification Election) that would cause the
Partnership to be characterized as an entity other than a partnership for
federal income tax purposes without the agreement of the other Partner. A

Agreement will be determined pursuant to the provisions of the Insight Midwest
Partnership Agreement by mutual agreement of TCI and Insight.
(b) Determining Fair Market Value of Additional Contributed Assets.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Except as otherwise mutually agreed to by the Partners, the fair market value of
any asset contributed by a Partner to the Partnership after the date of this
Agreement shall be that value determined by the General Partner.
3.2 Additional Capital Contributions.
--------------------------------
There shall be no further assessments for additional Capital Contributions
by the Partners to the Partnership.
-11-
3.3 Return of Contributions.
-----------------------
Neither Partner shall have the right to demand a return of all or any part
of its Capital Contribution during the term of the Partnership, and any return
of the Capital Contribution of either Partner shall be made solely from the
assets of the Partnership and only in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. No interest shall be paid to either Partner with respect to its
Capital Contribution to the Partnership.
ARTICLE 4
DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS
---------------------------------------------
4.1 Distributions of Cash.
---------------------
(a) Amount and Timing of Distributions. Distributions shall be made
----------------------------------
to the Partners at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the
General Partner. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, no distribution shall be made that would render the Partnership
insolvent or which is prohibited by the Act.
(b) Allocation of Distributions. All distributions shall be made to
---------------------------
the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
(c) Tax Withholding.
---------------
(1) The Partnership shall seek to qualify for and obtain exemptions
from any provision of the Code or any provision of state, local, or foreign tax
law that would otherwise require the Partnership to withhold amounts from
payments or distributions to the Partners. If the Partnership does not obtain
any such exemption, the Partnership is authorized to withhold from any payment
or distribution to either Partner any amounts that are required to be withheld
pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local, or foreign tax law
that is binding on the Partnership.
(2) Any amount withheld with respect to any payment or distribution
to either Partner shall be credited against the amount of the payment or
distribution to which the Partner would otherwise be entitled. If the Code or
any provision of any state, local, or foreign tax law that is binding on the
Partnership requires that the Partnership remit to any taxing authority any
withholding tax with respect to, or for the account of, either Partner in its
capacity as a Partner, the Partnership shall, to the extent that Partnership
funds are available therefor, remit the full required amount of such withholding
tax to the taxing authority and shall notify such Partner in writing of its
obligation to pay to the Partnership such withholding tax to the extent it
exceeds the amount of any payment or distribution to which such Partner would
otherwise then be entitled. Each Partner shall pay to the Partnership, within
five Business Days after its receipt of written notice from the Partnership that
withholding is required with respect to such Partner, any amounts required to be
remitted by the Partnership to any taxing authority with respect to such Partner
that are in excess of the amount of any payment or distribution to which such
Partner would otherwise be entitled. If the Partnership is required to remit any
withholding tax with respect to, or for the account of, either
-12-
Partner prior to the Partnership's receipt of any payment required to be made by
such Partner pursuant to the preceding sentence, the amount of the payment
required to be made by such Partner shall be treated as a loan (the "Withholding
Advance") from the Partnership to the Partner, which shall accrue interest from
the date the Partnership is required to remit such withholding tax until paid by
such Partner or credited against payments or distributions to which such Partner
would otherwise be entitled as provided in Section 4.1(c)(3) at a rate of
fifteen percent per year, compounded semi-annually.
(3) Any Withholding Advance made to a Partner and any interest accrued
thereon shall be credited against, and shall be offset by, the amount of any
later payment or distribution to which the Partner would otherwise be entitled
(without duplication of the credit provided in the first sentence of Section
4.1(c)(2)), with any credit for accrued and unpaid interest as of the date such
payment or distribution would otherwise have been made being applied before any
credit for the amount of the Withholding Advance. Any Withholding Advance made
to a Partner and any interest accrued thereon, to the extent it has not
previously been paid by the Partner in cash or fully credited against payments
or distributions to which the Partner would otherwise be entitled, shall be paid
by the Partner to the Partnership upon the earliest of (A) the dissolution of
the Partnership, (B) the date on which the Partner ceases to be a Partner of the
Partnership, or (C) demand for payment by the Partnership.
(4) All amounts that are credited against payments or distributions to
which a Partner would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.1(c)
shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Partner pursuant to Section
4.1(a) for all purposes of this Agreement.
4.2 Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss.
--------------------------------------
(a) Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss. Except as provided in
--------------------------------------
Section 4.2(b), Net Profit and Net Loss for each Fiscal Year (or portion
thereof) shall be allocated between the Partners in proportion to their
Percentage Interests.
(b) Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss Following Dissolution.
------------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a), following the dissolution of the Partnership
pursuant to Section 8.1, beginning in the Fiscal Year in which such dissolution
occurs or beginning in any Fiscal Year prior to the Fiscal Year in which such
dissolution occurs if the Partnership's Federal income tax return for such prior
Fiscal Year has not yet been required to be filed (not including extensions),
items of income and gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated between the
Partners so as to cause the credit balances in the Partners' Capital Accounts to
be in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
-13-
4.3 Special Provisions Regarding Allocations of Profit and Loss.
-----------------------------------------------------------
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of
-----------------------
this Article 4, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any
Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership
income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and if necessary for succeeding Fiscal
Years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in
Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(g); provided, however, that this Section 4.3(a) shall not apply
to the extent the circumstances described in Treasury Regulations Sections
1.704-2(f)(2), 1.704-2(f)(3), 1.704-2(f)(4), or 1.704-2(f)(5) exist.
Allocations made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion
to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant
thereto. The items of Partnership income and gain to be allocated pursuant to
this Section 4.3(a) shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This Section 4.3(a) is intended to comply with the
minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other
-------------------------------
provision of this Article 4 except Section 4.3(a), if during any Fiscal Year
there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, each Partner
with a share of that Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning
of such Fiscal Year must be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for
the Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for succeeding Fiscal Years) equal to that
Partner's share of the net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
(determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4));
provided, however, that this Section 4.3(b) shall not apply to the extent the
circumstances described in the third and fifth sentences of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) exist. Allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated
to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items of Partnership income and gain to
be allocated pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) shall be determined in accordance
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 4.3(b) is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.
(c) Qualified Income Offset. If a Partner unexpectedly receives any
-----------------------
adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially
allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to
the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall be made if and only to the
extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after
all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been tentatively made
as if this Section 4.3(c) were not in this Agreement. Allocations made pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts
required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.
-14-
(d) Gross Income Allocation. If a Partner has a deficit Capital
-----------------------
Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the
amount such Partner is obligated to restore to the Partnership pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c), (2) the amount such Partner
is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1), and (3) the amount such Partner is
deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially
allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as
quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 4.3(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would
have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations
provided for in this Article 4 have been tentatively made as if Section 4.3(c)
and this Section 4.3(d) were not in this Agreement. Allocations made pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts
required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal
----------------------
Year or other period shall be specially allocated between the Partners in
proportion to their Percentage Interests.
(f) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse
------------------------------
Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to
the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner
Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable
in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).
(g) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent any adjustment to the
----------------------
adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership pursuant to Code Section
734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if
the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment
decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the
Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts
are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Treasury
Regulations.
(h) Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining a
------------------------------
Partner's proportionate share of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the
Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3),
each Partner's interest in Partnership profits shall be deemed to be equal to
such Partner's Percentage Interest.
(i) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in this Article 4
--------------------
(other than Section 4.3(g), Section 4.3(h), and this Section 4.3(i)) (the
"Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of
the Treasury Regulations. The Partners intend that, to the extent possible, all
Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations
or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or
deduction pursuant to this Section 4.3(i). Therefore, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article 4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), offsetting
special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction shall be
made so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner's Capital
-15-
Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance
such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this
Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.2. In
making such offsetting special allocations, future Regulatory Allocations under
Section 4.3(a) and Section 4.3(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to
offset Regulatory Allocations made under Section 4.3(e) and Section 4.3(f),
shall be taken into account.
4.4 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).
------------------------------------
(a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any
property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax
purposes, be allocated between the Partners so as to take account of any
variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for
federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value using the
traditional allocation method described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-
3(b).
(b) If the Gross Asset Value of any asset of the Partnership is
adjusted pursuant to paragraph (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value,
subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such
asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such
asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same
manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(c) Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4 are solely for purposes
of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken
into account in computing, either Partner's Capital Account or share of Net
Profit, Net Loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement.
4.5 Allocation in Event of Transfer.
-------------------------------
If an interest in the Partnership is transferred in accordance with Article
7 of this Agreement, the Net Profit and Net Loss of the Partnership and each
item thereof, and all other items attributable to the transferred interest for
such Fiscal Year, shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the
transferee pursuant to the interim closing of the Partnership books method set
forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c)(2)(ii) unless the parties
otherwise mutually agree. This Section shall apply for purposes of computing a
Partner's Capital Account and for federal income tax purposes.
-16-
4.6 Alternative Allocations.
-----------------------
The General Partner is authorized and directed to allocate items of income,
gain, loss, or deduction arising in any Fiscal Year differently from the manner
that is otherwise provided for in this Agreement if, and to the extent that, the
General Partner believes that the allocation of items of income, gain, loss, or
deduction in the manner otherwise provided for in this Agreement would cause the
credit balances in the Partners' Capital Accounts not to be in proportion to
their Percentage Interests immediately prior to any distributions pursuant to
Section 8.2(d)(3) if the Partnership were dissolved and terminated on the last
day of such Fiscal Year. Any allocation that is made pursuant to this Section
4.6 shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation that is
otherwise provided for in this Agreement and no amendment to this Agreement
shall be required.
ARTICLE 5

Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Act as
applicable.
-17-

-------------------
(a) The General Partner is hereby designated as the Tax Matters
Partner of the Partnership, as provided in Treasury Regulations pursuant to Code
Section 6231 and analogous provisions of state law. Each Partner, by the

and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary
or appropriate to evidence such consent.
(b) To the extent and in the manner provided by applicable law and

item, or enter into any agreement with the Internal Revenue Service that would
result in the settlement of any alleged tax deficiency or other tax matter, or
to any adjustment of taxable income or loss or any item included therein,
affecting the Partnership or any Partner. The Tax Matters Partner shall not
take any such action if TCI elects within thirty days after its receipt of the
Tax Matters Partner's notice to require that the Tax Matters Partner refrain
from taking such action.
(e) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.4, the Tax
Matters Partner is hereby authorized, but not required:
(1) to enter into any settlement with the Internal Revenue Service
or the Secretary with respect to any tax audit or judicial review, in which
agreement the Tax Matters Partner may expressly state that such agreement shall
bind the other Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind
either Partner that (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and
Treasury Regulations thereunder) files a statement with the Secretary providing
that the Tax Matters Partner shall not have the authority to enter into a
settlement agreement on the behalf of such Partner;
(2) if a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the
Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for
tax purposes (a "final adjustment") is mailed to the Tax Matters Partner, to
seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a
petition for readjustment with the Tax Court, the District Court of the United

is located, or elsewhere as allowed by law, or the United States Claims Court;
(3) to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for

to the Partnership) or the Partnership in connection with any administrative or
judicial tax proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or Treasury
Regulations.
-19-
(f) The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters
Partner for all expenses (including legal and accounting fees) incurred pursuant
to this Section 5.4 in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding
with respect to the tax liability of the Partners. The payment of all such
reasonable expenses shall be made before any distributions are made to the
Partners. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Tax
Matters Partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent
provided herein or required by law, is a matter in the sole discretion of the
Tax Matters Partner and the provisions on limitations of liability of the
General Partner and indemnification set forth in Article 9 shall be fully
applicable to the General Partner in its capacity as the Tax Matters Partner.

under Code Section 6233 relating to the Partnership shall promptly notify the

ARTICLE 6
STATUS OF LIMITED PARTNER; OTHER LIMITATIONS ON
-----------------------------------------------
PARTNERS
--------
6.1 No Management and Control.
-------------------------
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall
take part in or interfere in any manner with the control, conduct, or operation
of the Partnership or have any right or authority to act for or bind the
Partnership or to vote on matters relating to the Partnership. The Limited
Partner shall not take any action with respect to the Partnership or its
Partnership Interest that requires the consent of its members pursuant to its
operating agreement without first obtaining such consent, including any Transfer
of its Partnership Interest.
6.2 Limited Liability.
-----------------
No Limited Partner shall be bound by or personally liable for the expenses,
liabilities, or obligations of the Partnership. In no event shall any Partner
be required to make up a deficiency in its Capital Account upon the dissolution
and termination of the Partnership.
-20-
6.3 Return of Distributions of Capital.
----------------------------------
A Limited Partner may, under certain circumstances, be required by law to
return to the Partnership, for the benefit of the Partnership's creditors,
amounts previously distributed. No Limited Partner shall be obligated by this
Agreement to pay those distributions to or for the account of the Partnership or
any creditor of the Partnership. However, if any court of competent
jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, a
Limited Partner must return or pay over any part of those distributions, the
obligation shall be that of such Limited Partner alone and not of any other
Partner. Any payment returned to the Partnership by a Partner or made directly
by a Partner to a creditor of the Partnership shall be deemed a Capital
Contribution by such Partner.
6.4 Specific Limitations.
--------------------
No Partner shall have the right or power to: (a) (i) withdraw as a Partner
except upon the disposition of all of its Partnership Interest in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) reduce its Capital Contribution except
as a result of the dissolution of the Partnership or as otherwise provided by
law, (b) bring an action for partition against the Partnership or any assets of
the Partnership, (c) cause the termination and dissolution of the Partnership,
except as set forth in this Agreement, or (d) demand or receive property other

in this Agreement or in any agreement permitted to be entered into under this
Agreement with respect to the purchase, redemption, retirement, or other
acquisition of Partnership Interests, no Partner shall have priority over any
other Partner either as to the return of its Capital Contribution or as to Net
Profit, Net Loss, or distributions. Other than upon the termination and
dissolution of the Partnership as provided by this Agreement, there has been no
time agreed upon when the Capital Contribution of any Partner will be returned.
ARTICLE 7
TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
---------------------------------
7.1 Transferees.
-----------
(a) No sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition (any or all of
the foregoing, a "Transfer") of a Partnership Interest will be effective nor
will any purported Transferee become a Partner or otherwise be entitled to any
of attributes of ownership of the Partnership purportedly Transferred unless
such Transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7 and
the transferor and Transferee have complied with the following conditions:
(1) the transferor has executed and delivered to the Partnership a
copy of the assignment of the Partnership Interest to Transferee in form and
substance satisfactory to the Partnership;
(2) the Transferee, if not already a party to this Agreement,
becomes a party to this Agreement, assumes all of the obligations hereunder of
its transferor and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof in the
same manner as the transferor.
-21-
(b) Upon compliance with Section 7.1(a), any Transferee shall be
substituted as a Partner for, and shall enjoy the same rights and be subject to
the same obligations as, its predecessor as a Partner hereunder.
(c) If there is a permitted Transfer of a Partnership Interest under
this Agreement:
(1) A Transferee's Percentage Interest shall equal the Percentage
Interest transferred to it by the transferring Partner;
(2) A Transferee's Capital Account shall initially be equal to the
Capital Account balance transferred to it by the transferring Partner;
(3) If requested to do so by any transferring Partner or by the
Transferee by notice given to the Partners, the Partnership shall make an
election under Section 754 of the Code (and a corresponding election under
applicable state and local law). Upon the request of either Partner, the
Partnership shall also make a timely election under Section 754 of the Code upon
a distribution of property or money to a Partner.
7.2 Other Consents and Requirements.
-------------------------------
Any Transfer must be in compliance with all requirements imposed by any
state securities administrator having jurisdiction over the Transfer and the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and must not cause the
Partnership or any Subsidiary to be in violation of any Ownership Restriction
(as defined in the Insight Midwest Partnership Agreement).
7.3 Assignment Not In Compliance.
----------------------------
Any Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Article 7
(whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law) shall be void and of
no effect, and shall neither bind nor be recognized by the Partnership.
7.4 Division of Partnership Interests.
---------------------------------
The several rights and obligations inherent in the Capital Account and
Percentage Interest attributable to a Partner's Partnership Interest are
indivisible except in equal proportions, such that the assignment of a specified
percentage of a Partner's Partnership Interest may only represent an equal
percentage of the total Capital Account and Percentage Interest that were
attributable to such Partner's Partnership Interest prior to the assignment.
-22-
7.5 Pledge of Partnership Interests.
-------------------------------
At the request of the General Partner, each Partner agrees to pledge its
Partnership Interest to secure any indebtedness of Insight Midwest, L.P. or its
Subsidiaries (as defined in the Insight Midwest Partnership Agreement) that is
permitted under this Agreement and the Insight Midwest Partnership Agreement, on
terms determined by the General Partner, so long as all Partners are required to
pledge their Partnership Interests and the terms of the pledge do not impose any
personal liability on any Partner. In negotiating the terms of any such pledge,
the General Partner will require that the secured party agree to enforce its
rights against the Partnership Interests of the Partners proportionately (based
on the Percentage Interest of each Partner). If the secured party under any
such pledge enforces its rights against the Partnership Interests of the
Partners other than proportionately, the Partners will afford each other such
rights of contribution and indemnity as are necessary to cause all liabilities,
losses, and damages suffered by the Partners as a result of the exercise by the
secured party of its rights under such pledge to be borne by the Partners
proportionately.
ARTICLE 8

Section 2.4;
(c) the sale, exchange, involuntary conversion, or other disposition
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership;
(d) upon mutual agreement of the Partners; or

dissolution, the happening of any event that, under applicable law, causes the
dissolution of a limited partnership.
8.2 Liquidation.

Partnership shall immediately commence to wind up its affairs. A reasonable

remaining assets so as to enable the Partnership to minimize the normal losses
attendant to the liquidation process.
-23-
(b) Liquidation of the assets of the Partnership shall be managed on
behalf of the Partnership by the "Liquidator," which shall be (1) if the
Partnership is being liquidated following a withdrawal by the General Partner,
the Limited Partner, and (2) in all other events, the General Partner or a
liquidating trustee selected by the General Partner. The Liquidator shall be
responsible for soliciting offers to purchase the entirety of the Partnership's
assets (including equity interests in other Persons) or portions or clusters of
assets of the Partnership. The Liquidator shall afford each Partner an
opportunity to offer to purchase any assets of the Partnership that are offered
for sale in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership to the extent
doing so would be consistent with the orderly liquidation of the Partnership.
(c) The Liquidator shall cause a full accounting of the assets and
liabilities of the Partnership to be taken and a statement thereof to be
furnished to each Partner within thirty days after the distribution of all of
the assets of the Partnership.
(d) The property and assets of the Partnership and the proceeds from
the liquidation thereof shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(1) first, to payment of the debts and liabilities of the
Partnership, in the order of priority provided by law (including any loans by
either Partner to the Partnership) and payment of the expenses of liquidation;
(2) second, to setting up of such reserves as the Liquidator may
deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or
obligations of the Partnership or any obligation or liability not then due and
payable; provided, however, that any such reserve shall be paid over by the
Liquidator into a Partnership account or a liquidating trust account established
for such purpose, to be held in such account for the purpose of disbursing such
reserves in payment of such liabilities, and, at the expiration of such holdback
period as the Liquidator shall deem advisable, to distribute the balance
thereafter remaining in the manner hereinafter provided; and
(3) finally, to payment to the Partners, in accordance with Section
4.1(b). The distributions pursuant to this Section 8.2(d)(3) shall, to the
extent possible, be made prior to the later of the end of the Fiscal Year in
which the dissolution occurs or the ninetieth day after the date of dissolution,
or such other time period which may be permitted under Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b).
(e) If in the course of the liquidation and dissolution of the
Partnership pursuant to this Article 8, the Liquidator determines that a sale by
all the Partners to any Person of their Partnership Interests, instead of a sale
by the Partnership and the Subsidiaries of their respective assets, would more
efficiently effect the liquidation of the Partners' economic interests in the
Partnership or would reduce negative tax consequences to the Partners and the
Partnership, but would not adversely affect the rights and obligations of either
Partner (including the tax consequences to either Partner), then each Partner
agrees to sell its Partnership Interest to such Person, and the Liquidator shall
have the authority, pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section
13.5(b), to execute, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file, and record all
agreements,
-24-
instruments, and other documents that may be necessary or appropriate to effect
the sale of such Partner's Partnership Interest.
(f) Following the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section
8.1, the Partners will use commercially reasonable efforts to structure the
liquidation of the Partnership in a manner that minimizes negative tax
consequences to the Partners and the Partnership to the extent doing so would
not materially adversely affect either Partner (except to the extent such
Partner is adequately compensated by the other Partner for such adverse effect).
Any structure agreed to by the Partners pursuant to this Section 8.2(f) shall
supersede the other provisions of this Article 8 to the extent it is
inconsistent with such other provisions, but nothing in this Section 8.2(f)
shall modify or otherwise affect the other provisions of this Article 8 if the
Partners are unable to agree on such a structure.
8.3 Distribution in Kind.
--------------------
The Partnership shall not distribute any non-cash asset to either Partner
without the consent of each Partner. Any asset distributed in kind to one or
more Partners shall first be valued at its fair market value to determine the
gain or loss used in determining Net Profit or Net Loss that would have resulted
if such asset were sold for such value, such gain or loss shall then be
allocated pursuant to Article 4, and the Partners' Capital Accounts shall be
adjusted to reflect such gain or loss. The amount distributed and charged to
the Capital Account of each Partner receiving an interest in such distributed
asset shall be the fair market value of such interest (net of any liability
secured by such asset that such Partner assumes or takes subject to). The fair
market value of any asset distributed in kind in connection with the liquidation
of the Partnership shall be determined by an independent appraiser (any such
appraiser must be nationally recognized as an expert in valuing the type of
asset involved) selected by the Liquidator.
8.4 No Action for Dissolution.
-------------------------
The Partners acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the
goodwill and reputation of the Partnership if either Partner should bring an
action in court to dissolve the Partnership under circumstances where
dissolution is not required by Section 8.1. This Agreement has been drawn
carefully to provide fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in
liquidation of the Partnership Interests of both Partners. Accordingly, except
where liquidation and dissolution are required by Section 8.1, each Partner
hereby waives and renounces its right to initiate legal action to seek
dissolution or to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the
Partnership.
8.5 No Further Claim.
----------------
Upon dissolution, each Partner shall look solely to the assets of the
Partnership for the return of its investment, and if the property of the
Partnership remaining after payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of
the Partnership, including debts and liabilities owed to one or more of the
Partners, is insufficient to return the aggregate capital contributions of a
Partner, no Partner shall have any recourse against any other Partner.
-25-
ARTICLE 9
INDEMNIFICATION
---------------
9.1 General.
-------
The Partnership shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each Partner and
their respective members, partners, officers, directors, shareholders,
employees, and agents, the employees, officers, and agents of the Partnership

of this Article 9), from any liability, loss, or damage incurred by the
Indemnified Person by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by
the Indemnified Person in connection with the business of the Partnership,
including costs and attorneys' fees (which attorneys' fees may be paid as
incurred) and any amounts expended in the settlement of any claims of liability,
loss, or damage; provided, however, that, if the liability, loss, damage, or
claim arises out of any action or inaction of an Indemnified Person,
indemnification under this Section 9.1 shall not be available if the action or
inaction is finally adjudicated to have constituted fraud, gross negligence,
breach of fiduciary duty (which shall not be construed to encompass mistakes in
judgment or any breach of any Indemnified Person's duty of care that did not
constitute gross negligence), or willful misconduct by the Indemnified Person;
and provided, further, however, that indemnification under this Section 9.1
shall be recoverable only from the assets of the Partnership and not from any
assets of the Partners. The Partnership may pay for insurance covering
liability of the Indemnified Persons for negligence in operation of the
Partnership's affairs.
9.2 Exculpation.
-----------
No Indemnified Person shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the
Partnership or to either Partner for any loss that arises out of any act
performed or omitted to be performed by it or him pursuant to the authority
granted by this Agreement unless the conduct of the Indemnified Person is
finally adjudicated to have constituted fraud, gross negligence, breach of
fiduciary duty (which shall not be construed to encompass mistakes in judgment
or any breach of any Indemnified Person's duty of care that did not constitute
gross negligence), or willful misconduct by such Indemnified Person.
9.3 Persons Entitled to Indemnity.
-----------------------------
Any Person who is within the definition of "Indemnified Person" at the time
of any action or inaction in connection with the business of the Partnership
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article 9 as an "Indemnified Person"
with respect thereto, regardless of whether such Person continues to be within
the definition of "Indemnified Person" at the time of his or its claim for
indemnification or exculpation hereunder.
