Matters Partner shall be reimbursed by the Partnership for all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with any administrative or
judicial proceeding with respect to any tax matter involving the Partnership or
the Partners in their capacity as Partners; provided, that, with respect to any
taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Restructuring
Effective Date, such reimbursement shall be made only out of cash attributable
to the Residual Business, and not the Selected Business.

                                                                              25


based on the ratio of the number of Subscribers served by the Partnership
Systems to the total number of Subscribers served by the Partnership Systems and
the Other TWE Systems, of the following: (1) TWE Cable Expenses (as defined
below), (2) after receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Advance/Newhouse of services received by the TWE Cable Division therefor on or
prior to the Closing Date, the management fees payable by TWE to USW pursuant to
Section 8(h) of the Admission Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1993, between TWE
and USW, attributable to such services, and (3) TWE's obligations under Section
17.7(b) of the TWE Partnership Agreement (or any successor provision) to
reimburse ATW with respect to options exercised by employees of TWE's Cable
Division (other than (x) Eligible Option Holders (who are covered by paragraph
(iii) below) and (y) system-level employees of TWE who perform substantially all
of their duties on behalf of one or more Other TWE Systems), and (B) all
specific costs and expenses incurred by TWE and its Affiliates on behalf of the
Partnership. For purposes of the foregoing, "TWE Cable Expenses" shall mean all
expenses incurred in connection with managing and operating the TWE Cable
Division (other than direct and identifiable costs or expenses relating to the
Other TWE Systems, which would not be appropriately allocated to the
Partnership); provided that such expenses shall be calculated net of any
management fees received by TWE with respect to the management of partially
owned Systems ("Managed Systems"), it being understood that in determining the
Partnership's pro rata share of any costs or expenses described in this Section
3.1(h), the Subscribers served by the Managed Systems shall be excluded from the
number of Subscribers served by the Partnership Systems and the number of
Subscribers served by the Other TWE Systems. By way of example, TWE Cable
Expenses include, without limitation, the general costs and expenses incurred by
or allocated to the TWE Cable Division in connection with the development of the
Full Service Network and telephony service and legal expenses incurred by the
TWE Cable Division in connection with legal proceedings (such as "test cases")
which generally affect the TWE Cable Division, but do not include expenses
incurred in connection with the current operations of NY 1. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that any TWE Cable Expenses are paid more than one year
beyond the end of the year in which such expenses arise, the Partnership shall
reimburse TWE for such expenses when such expenses are paid; and to the extent
that any TWE Cable Expenses are paid more than one year in advance of the year
in which they arise, the Partnership shall reimburse TWE for such expenses when
they are paid. The Partnership shall reimburse TWE for all costs and expenses
for each calendar month for which TWE is entitled to reimbursement hereunder on
the fifteenth day of such month based on TWE's reasonable estimate thereof;
provided that any discrepancies between actual costs (as set forth in a
certificate signed by an appropriate officer of TWE) and estimated costs and
expenses shall be settled quarterly in arrears by payment by the Partnership to
TWE of the amount of any underpayment for such quarter or by allocating to the
Partnership a credit against future payments required by this paragraph in the
amount of any overpayment for such quarter. During the 120 days following
Closing, the Advance/Newhouse Accountants shall have the right to audit of TWE's
records relevant to reimbursements from the Partnership pursuant to this
subparagraph that were charged to the Selected Business. The costs and expenses
of such audit shall be borne by Advance/Newhouse. TWE and Advance/Newhouse agree
that no adjustment shall be

                                                                              26


made to any such charge to the Selected Business in the event that the extent of
any disagreement between the parties shall be less than $500,000.

               (ii) Subject to the Services Agreement, TWE, as Managing Partner,
shall make all programming and any other service or product decisions with
respect to the Partnership Systems, and shall use reasonable best efforts to
cause such systems to be included in all programming and other relevant
agreements to which the TWE Cable Division or any of its Controlled Affiliates
is a party. TWE shall be compensated by the Partnership for such programming as
follows (whether or not the Partnership Systems are included within such
programming or other agreements):

                    (A) With respect to Third Party Programming (as defined
     below), the Partnership shall pay TWE for such programming at a net
     effective rate (taking into account the appropriate economic benefit and/or
     detriment to TWE, if any, including, without limitation, discounts,
     credits, marketing support, rate reimbursement, advertising support,
     channel position fees, rebates, prepayment loans, deductions for
     unallocated accounts and other incentives) equal to the net effective rate
     per subscriber paid or accrued for such programming by the TWE Cable
     Division or its Controlled Affiliate pursuant to the master programming
     agreement or similar agreement between the provider of such programming and
     the TWE Cable Division or such Controlled Affiliate.

                    (B) With respect to any other programming, the Partnership
     shall pay TWE for such programming at a rate equal to the pro rata portion
     of the costs to TWE or such Affiliate of producing such programming (such
     pro rata portion to be determined based on the ratio of the number of
     Subscribers served by the Partnership Systems offering such programming to
     the total number of Subscribers served by the Partnership Systems and the
     Other TWE Systems offering such programming, or, in the case of a la carte
     programming, the ratio of the number of Partnership System Subscribers
     subscribing to such programming to the number of Subscribers of the
     Partnership Systems and the Other TWE Systems subscribing to such
     programming).

     For the purpose of the foregoing, "Third Party Programming" shall mean
(x) any programming purchased by the TWE Cable Division or any of its Controlled
Affiliates from any person that is not a Wholly-Owned Affiliate (as defined
below) of TWE and (y) any programming (including, without limitation, HBO and
Cinemax) purchased by the TWE Cable Division or its Controlled Affiliates from
TWE or any of its Wholly-Owned Affiliates (as defined below), provided, with
respect to this clause (y), that (1) such programming is offered by TWE or such
Affiliate to unaffiliated third parties for use on Systems, and (2) the amount
paid by the TWE Cable Division or its Controlled Affiliates for such programming
is consistent with the amount paid for such programming by similarly situated
third parties and is otherwise consistent with the principles previously agreed
to by the parties. "Wholly-Owned Affiliate" of TWE shall mean (x) any division
or subdivision of TWE or (y) any direct or indirect subsidiary of TWE all of the
capital stock or other equity interests of which are owned, directly or
indirectly, by TWE.

                                                                              27


               (iii) Upon exercise by any Eligible Option Holder (as defined
below) of options to purchase securities of ATW or any of its Affiliates ("ATW
Securities"), the Partnership shall pay to TWE 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 ATW Securities),
issuable upon exercise of such options an amount equal to the excess of (A) the
Closing Price (as defined below) of a unit of such ATW Securities as of the date
of exercise, over (B) either (1) for options issued prior to the Initial Closing
Date, the greater of (x) the exercise price paid by such Eligible Option Holder
for each such unit of ATW Securities and (y) the Closing Price of a unit of such
ATW Securities on the Initial Closing Date, or (2) for options issued after the
Initial Closing Date, the exercise price paid by such Eligible Option Holder for
each such unit of ATW Securities.

     For the purpose of this Section 3.1(h)(iii), the term "Eligible Option
Holder" shall mean any officer or other employee of the Partnership or of TWE or
any of its Subsidiaries who (x) in such capacity performs substantially all of
his or her duties on behalf of the Partnership and (y) has been, or from time to
time is, issued options to purchase units of ATW Securities; and the term
"Closing Price" shall mean, with respect to any ATW Securities on any day, the
last reported sale price of a unit of such ATW Securities (regular way) on such
day as shown on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Composite Transaction Tape,
or in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid
and asked prices of a unit of such ATW Securities on such day on the NYSE, or,
if such ATW Securities are not listed or admitted to trading on the NYSE, on the
principal national securities exchange on which such ATW Securities are listed
or admitted to trading, or, if they are not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of
such ATW Securities on such day as reported by NASDAQ, or if such ATW Securities
are not so reported, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of a unit
of such ATW Securities on such day as furnished by any member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by ATW for
that purpose; provided that in each case, the Closing Price shall be equitably
adjusted to take into account any recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers,
consolidations, spin-offs, extraordinary dividends or distributions,
subdivisions or combinations or the like affecting the ATW Securities.

               (iv) Except as expressly provided herein, including without
limitation Section 3.1(g), Section 3.1(h) and Section 13.1 of this Agreement, or
in the Original Contribution Agreement, no Partner shall be entitled, without
the prior written consent of the other Partners, to compensation for its
services on behalf of the Partnership or to be reimbursed for any costs or
expenses incurred by such Partner or any of its Affiliates, agents, or
representatives.

               (v) Each of the Partners shall bear its own expenses, including
fees and expenses of legal counsel, financial advisors, brokers or finders, and
consultants incurred by it or its Affiliates in the negotiation and preparation
of this Agreement.

                                                                              28


               (vi) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, on or prior to the Closing Date, the aggregate payments to be made by
the Partnership to TWE for management fees and reimbursement for exercise of
options with respect to any Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 3.1(h)(i) and
Section 3.1(h)(iii) shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the Partnership's
revenues for such Fiscal Year. The limitations set forth in this Section
3.1(h)(vi) shall be applied separately with respect to each Fiscal Year.

               (vii) The Selected Business will pay cash in respect of all
periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date for a portion of all amounts due
and owing by the Partnership during such periods that are allocable to the
Selected Business, including, without limitation, amounts due under the
foregoing provisions of Section 3.1(h) (other than clause (i)(A)(3) or clause
(iii) of this Section 3.1(h)), the AOL High Speed Services Agreement and
Programming Costs (as defined in the Services Agreement), and Section 3.1(g),
such portion to be calculated in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice (the "Pre-Closing Operating Costs"); provided, that no portion of
the costs, expenses or fees incurred by or on behalf of the Partnership in
connection with any financing arrangements obtained by it after the Selection
Date will be paid by the Selected Business, except for one-third of such costs,
fees and expenses for financings obtained prior to the Restructuring Effective
Date; provided further that the Selected Business shall not pay more than $1.5
million in the aggregate of such costs, fees and expenses. For the avoidance of
doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither
Advance/Newhouse nor the Selected Business shall have any liability for any
reimbursement obligations (x) pursuant to clause (i)(A)(3) or clause (iii) of
this Section 3.1(h) after the Restructuring Effective Date or (y) pursuant to
Section 3.1(h) or Section 3.1(g) for any period after the Closing Date (subject
to the obligations of the Selected Business after the Closing as provided in the
other Transaction Agreements).

               (viii) For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of financing costs,
fees and expenses to be borne by the Selected Business as described in clause
(vii) above shall be borne without duplication, by reason of (x) there being
reduced deductions to Net Debt under Section 3.2(e)(iii) of the Master
Transaction Agreement, to the extent such cost, fee or expense was satisfied
with cash payments from the Partnership prior to the Restructuring Effective
Date or (y) otherwise, through cash payments from the Selected Business or the
Advance/Newhouse Group to TWE for costs, fees and expenses satisfied after the
Restructuring Effective Date.

               (ix) With respect to all amounts owed to TWE by the Partnership
under Section 3.1(h) or Section 3.1(g), the Selected Business shall only be
responsible for paying the amounts described in clause (vii) and the Residual
Business shall be responsible for all remaining amounts.

     3.2 Limitations On Management Powers. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement or any Restructuring Transaction Agreement to the contrary, and in
addition to any other consent or approval that may be required by the express
terms of this Agreement, neither the Partnership nor any of its Subsidiaries
shall, and neither the

Managing Partner nor any Partner individually shall have the authority to, and
neither TWE nor Advance/Newhouse shall, with respect to the Managed Business,
cause the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries to, take any of the following
actions without (i) the consent of the Partners or (ii) the unanimous consent
(in person or by proxy) of all members of the Executive Committee:

this Agreement;

          (b) merge or consolidate such Managed Business with any other Person;

          (c) liquidate or dissolve such Managed Business;

          (d) admit any new member, or otherwise issue equity in, such Managed
Business, or establish the terms and conditions of any such admission or
issuance;

          (e) incur, create, or assume any additional Indebtedness if the ratio

Indebtedness), to (y) EBITDA of such Managed Business for the last four fiscal
quarters, would exceed 5:1;

          (f) enter into a new line of business that is reasonably expected to
require an investment in excess of $50,000,000 without providing three months'

          (h) commence any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, acquiesce in the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator, admit to the
material allegations of a petition filed against such Managed Business in any
bankruptcy proceeding or make, execute or deliver any general assignment for the
benefit of such Managed Business's creditors.

     In addition, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any
Restructuring Transaction Agreement to the contrary, and in addition to any
other consent or approval that may be required by the express terms of this
Agreement, neither the Partnership nor the Managing Partner shall have the
authority to, and shall not cause the Partnership to, take any of the following
actions without (x) the consent of the Partners or (y) the unanimous consent (in
person or by proxy) of all members of the Executive Committee: (A) sell, give,
assign, hypothecate, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest in or otherwise
dispose of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) any equity interest in the
Selected Subsidiary (except in accordance with the Consent agreement executed by
TWE and Paragon as of the date hereof in connection with the Refinancing

of cash or other assets from the Selected Subsidiary to Advance/Newhouse.

     3.3 Financing the Selected Business. From and after the Restructuring
Effective Date,

          (a) the Partnership shall promptly remit to Advance/Newhouse (or to

Business;

          (b) Advance/Newhouse shall be solely responsible for providing cash
and any other working capital needed by the Selected Business, including for any
amounts due and owing to TWE or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the
Restructuring Transaction Agreements; and

          (c) Advance/Newhouse shall have the right to designate a commercial
bank account, reasonably acceptable to TWE, for deposit of all cash receipts
from the Selected Business, and the Partnership shall authorize the distribution
of any positive balance in such account to Advance/Newhouse no later than three
business days following Advance/Newhouse's request therefor; provided, however,
that such request is accompanied by a representation of Advance/Newhouse that
the amount of such distribution does not exceed the balance of such account
(after taking into consideration all other pending checks and disbursements
therefrom).

          (b) Treatment of Contributions. Any capital contributed to the

Advance/Newhouse after the Restructuring Effective Date shall be applied to and
used for the exclusive benefit of the Selected Business.

     SECTION 5A TAX MATTERS RELATING TO RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS

     5A.1 Redemption of Advance/Newhouse's Partnership Interest.
Advance/Newhouse, TWE and Paragon agree that, as of the Restructuring Effective
Date, for all Income Tax Purposes, the Selected Business shall be treated as
having been distributed to Advance/Newhouse in complete redemption of its
interest in the Partnership. Accordingly, as of the Restructuring Effective
Date, Advance/Newhouse shall no longer constitute a partner of the Partnership
for all Income Tax purposes, and any reference in Section 5 (other than Section
5.9, 5.10 or 5.11) to "Partner" or "Partners" shall not include
Advance/Newhouse.

     5A.2 No Partnership Between Selected Business and Residual Business.
Advance/Newhouse, TWE and Paragon agree to take the position for all Income Tax
purposes that the Selected Business and the Residual Business are not operated
as a partnership following the Restructuring Effective Date, unless required to
do otherwise as a result of a Final Determination that the Selected Business and
Residual Business are operated as a partnership. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the parties agree to the following:

               (i) Distributions to TWE and Paragon, and the Partnership
distributions provided in Section 5.1, shall be made only out of cash
attributable to the Residual Business (and not the Selected Business), and the
allocations provided in Sections 5.3, 5.5 and 5.6 shall be made only with
respect to the Residual Business (and not the Selected Business);

               (ii) Advance/Newhouse shall not be entitled to any distributions
of cash from the Partnership under Section 5, except as provided in Section
3.3(c) and Section 5.9;

               (iii) Advance/Newhouse shall not share in any portion of any item
of income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items attributable to the Residual
Business;

                                                                              32


               (iv) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and other tax
items attributable to the Selected Business shall be treated as derived directly
by Advance/Newhouse (and not through an interest in the Partnership) for all
Income Tax purposes, except as may be required as a result of a Final
Determination that the Selected Business and Residual Business are operated as a
partnership; and

               (v) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and other tax
items attributable to the Residual Business shall be allocated between TWE and
Paragon pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.

     5A.3 Recharacterization as Partnership for Tax Purposes. In the event of a
Final Determination that the Selected Business and the Residual Business are
operated as a partnership for any Income Tax purpose, the following provisions
shall apply:

               (i) Income, gain, loss, deduction and other tax items
attributable to the Selected Business shall be allocated 100% to
Advance/Newhouse; and

               (ii) Income, gain, loss, deduction and other tax items
attributable to the Residual Business shall be allocated between TWE and Paragon
pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.3.

SECTION 5 CASH DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES; ADJUSTMENTS
          AND TAX PROCEEDINGS

     5.1 Distributions With Respect to the Residual Business.

         (a) Distributions Prior to Sixth Anniversary. Except as provided
in Sections 5.1(d) and 5.1(e), prior to the sixth anniversary of the First
Effective Date, all distributions by the Partnership shall be made as follows:

               (i) [Intentionally Omitted]

               (ii) With respect to any Fiscal Year in which Paragon and TWE are
expected (based on the Managing Partner's good faith estimate) to be allocated
Net Profit pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(ii), the Partnership shall, at least
quarterly, distribute (to the extent not prohibited by any applicable
contractual restrictions) all Distributable Cash to Paragon and TWE (on a pari
passu basis in proportion to the excess amounts calculated for each of them in
clauses (A) and (B) below, respectively):

                    (A) until Paragon shall have received distributions, with
     respect to the Series A Preferred Partnership Units, the Series B Preferred
     Partnership Units and the Series C Preferred Partnership Units held by it
     in an amount equal to the excess of (I) the sum of (x) such estimated Net
     Profit expected to be allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section
     5.3(b)(ii)(A) and (y) the Net Profit allocated to such Partner pursuant to
     Section 5.3(b)(ii)(A) for all prior Fiscal Years, over (II) the
     distributions to Paragon pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(ii)(A) for all
     prior Fiscal Years, which distributions shall be allocated among the Series
     A Preferred Partnership Units, the Series B Preferred





<PAGE>


                                                                              33


     Partnership Units and the Series C Preferred Partnership Units held by
     Paragon, pari passu, in proportion to such excess amount calculated for
     each of them; and

                    (B) until TWE shall have received distributions with respect
     to the Series C Preferred Partnership Units held by it in an amount equal
     to the excess of (I) the sum of (x) such estimated Net Profit expected to
     be allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(ii)(B) and (y) the
     Net Profit allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(ii)(B) for
     all prior Fiscal Years, over (II) the distributions to TWE pursuant to this
     Section 5.1(a)(ii)(B) for all prior Fiscal Years.

               (iii) After the Partnership has made distributions with respect
to the Series A Preferred Partnership Units, Series B Preferred Partnership
Units and Series C Preferred Partnership Units in accordance with clause (ii),
the Partnership shall, at least quarterly, distribute (to the extent not
prohibited by any applicable contractual restrictions) to the Partners
Distributable Cash, in proportion to the respective amounts required to be
distributed to each such Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(iii), in an
amount equal to 25 percent of such Partner's Net Tax Amount for the taxable year
that includes such calendar quarter (as estimated in good faith by the Managing
Partner). The Managing Partner's estimate of such Partner's Net Tax Amount for
such year shall be revised prior to each distribution for such year and upon the
filing of the Partnership's Federal income tax return for such year, and
following such revision, (y) the Partnership shall distribute to such Partner
the excess (if any) of the amount that should have been distributed to such
Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(iii) based on such revised estimate,
over the amount actually distributed to such Partner pursuant to this Section
5.1(a)(iii), plus interest thereon at the rate paid by the Partnership on its
senior Indebtedness, or (z) such Partner shall contribute to the Partnership the
excess (if any) of the amount actually distributed to such Partner pursuant to
this Section 5.1(a)(iii) over the amount that should have been distributed to
such Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(iii) based on such revised
estimate, plus interest thereon at the rate paid by the Partnership on its
senior Indebtedness. To the extent there is insufficient available cash to make
distributions pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(iii) at the time required, the
Partnership shall pay interest on such shortfall at the rate paid by the
Partnership on its senior Indebtedness, and such interest shall be paid out of
the Partnership's first available Distributable Cash.

               (iv) After the Partnership has made the distributions required by
clauses (ii) and (iii), any remaining Distributable Cash shall, at least
quarterly, be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their Residual
Percentage Interests; provided, however, that during the period ending on the
third anniversary of the Fourth Effective Date, distributions to any Partner
pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(iv) shall not, without the consent of TWE,
exceed an amount which, when added to the distributions to such Partner pursuant
to Section 5.1(a)(iii), exceed the sum of (x) such Partner's permitted
"operating cash flow distribution," as determined pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.707-4(b), and (y) the amount of Partnership indebtedness
incurred by the Partnership during the taxable year that includes such calendar
quarter and the proceeds of which are distributed to the Partners, to the extent

Residual Percentage Interests, assuming all Partners are taxed at the Special

          accrued through the end of such Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) over
          (II) the aggregate Net Profit allocated to such Partner pursuant to
          this Section 5.3(b)(ii)(B) for all prior Fiscal Years.

               (iii) Third, Net Profit shall be allocated to the Partners, in
proportion to and to the extent of the amount required to be allocated pursuant

     pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(iii) for all prior Fiscal Years, over the
     aggregate Special Tax Amounts distributed to pursuant to Sections

     respect to each of them; and

                    (B) with respect to the Series C Preferred Partnership Units
     held by TWE, until TWE's Capital Account has been reduced to the excess, if
     any, of the aggregate Net Profit allocated to TWE pursuant to Section
     5.3(b)(iii) for all prior Fiscal Years, over the aggregate Special Tax
     Amounts distributed to pursuant to Sections 5.1(a)(iii) and 5.1(b)(iii) for
     all prior Fiscal Years.

               (iii) Thereafter, Net Loss for such Fiscal Year (or portion

          (d) Allocation of Gain or Loss Upon Sale. Notwithstanding Section

disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, or
upon the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), beginning in the year in which the
contract or agreement for such sale is entered into or, if such contract or
agreement is entered into on or prior to the date on which the Partnership's
Federal income tax return with respect to the prior year is required to be filed
(not including any extensions), beginning in such prior year:

               (i) First, Gross Profit shall be allocated to Paragon and TWE (on
a pari passu basis in proportion to the excess amounts calculated in clauses (A)
and (B) below, respectively):

                    (A) until Paragon shall have been allocated Gross Profit in
     an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (I) the sum of (x) the aggregate
     Net Loss allocated to Paragon pursuant to Section 5.3(c)(ii)(A) for all
     prior Fiscal Years, and (y) the cumulative Series A Priority Return, Series

     Loss allocated to TWE pursuant to Section 5.3(c)(ii)(B) for all prior
     Fiscal Years, and (y) the cumulative Series C Priority Return accrued

                                                                              40


     pursuant to Sections 5.3(b)(i)(B) and Section 5.3(b)(ii)(B) for all prior
     Fiscal Years.

               (ii) Finally, Gross Profit and Gross Loss shall be allocated to
the Partners so as to cause the credit balance in each Partner's Capital Account
to equal, as nearly as possible, the amount each Partner would receive in a
distribution on dissolution, if the distribution were made in accordance with
Section 5.1(d).

     In the event that such sale or liquidation does not take place within the
year following the year of the signing of the contract or agreement, or upon the
termination of such contract or agreement, if earlier, allocations of Gross
Profit or Gross Loss shall be made to reverse, as rapidly as possible, the
effect of any such allocations made pursuant to this Section 5.3(d).

     5.4 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. Any Partner may cause the Partnership to make any election
permitted under Code Section 754.

     5.5 Other Rules Governing Allocations With Respect to the Residual
Business.

          (a) In the event that the Partnership is entitled to an income tax
deduction for the excess of the Closing Price of a unit of TWX Securities on the
Initial Closing Date over the exercise price paid by the Eligible Option Holder
for such unit of TWX Securities, such deduction and an equal amount of Gross
Loss shall be specifically allocated to TWE or Paragon, as appropriate, and TWE
or Paragon, as appropriate, shall be deemed to have made a capital contribution
to the Partnership in the same amount.

          (b) In the event that, pursuant to any Final Determination of the
Partnership's Taxable Income or Taxable Loss or the Partner's distributive
shares thereof, (i) the Partnership's Taxable Income or Taxable Loss is adjusted
or (ii) the Partners' distributive shares of the Partnership's Taxable Income or
Taxable Loss are adjusted, Gross Profit or Gross Loss shall be allocated to the
Partners to reflect the adjustments to the Partnership's Taxable Income or
Taxable Loss or the Partners' distributive shares thereof so as to place the
Partners as rapidly as possible, in conjunction with any distribution or
contribution pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(iii) and Section 5.1(b)(iii), in the
same relative positions they would have been in had the Taxable Income or
Taxable Loss or distributive shares thereof as adjusted been taken into account
originally (including any interest with respect to any deficiency or any
refund).

                                                                              41


          (c) In the event that interest is paid by the Partnership to a Partner
pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(iii) or Section 5.1(b)(iii), a special allocation of
Gross Profit shall be made to such Partner in an amount equal to the amount of
such interest.

          (d) If any fees or other payments deducted for federal income tax
purposes by the Partnership are recharacterized by a Final Determination of the
Internal Revenue Service as nondeductible distributions to any Partner, then,
notwithstanding all other allocation provisions, Gross Profit shall be allocated
to such Partner (for each Fiscal Year in which such recharacterization occurs)
in an amount equal to the fees or payments recharacterized.

          (e) All items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and any
other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be allocated among the
Partners in the same proportion as they share the Net Profits, Net Losses, Gross
Profits or Gross Loss to which such items relate for the Fiscal Year. Any
credits against income tax shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance
with their Residual Percentage Interests.

          (f) For any year with respect to which the Partnership is required to
pay New York City Unincorporated Business Tax, such tax shall be allocated among
the Partners in a manner so that the benefit of any deduction, credit, exemption
or exclusion that is available to the Partnership as a result of the activities,
income or status of or payments by a particular Partner (a "Credit Partner")
shall be allocated entirely to such Credit Partner. The foregoing shall be
accomplished by charging the amount of such tax to the Capital Account of any
Partner that is not a Credit Partner and by distributing to any Credit Partner
an amount that bears the same proportion to such tax as such Credit Partner's
Residual Percentage Interest bears to the Residual Percentage Interest of the
Partner that is not a Credit Partner.

          (g) [Intentionally Omitted]

          (h) In the event that any item or items of income, gain, loss or
deduction of the Partnership or any Partner is reallocated between the
Partnership and any Partner, then the allocations of the income, gain, loss or
deduction of the Company for the year in which such reallocation occurs shall be
made in such a fashion that the Capital Accounts of all Partners, after taking
into account any deemed contributions or distributions arising in connection
with such reallocation, shall be, to the greatest extent possible, in the same
amounts as they would have been in had such reallocation not occurred.

     5.6 Tax Allocations With Respect to the Residual Business.

         (a) Income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property
contributed to the capital of the Partnership, including property purchased with
cash contributed to the capital of the Partnership by a Partner shall, solely
for tax purposes, be allocated among 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





<PAGE>


                                                                              42


Gross Asset Value in accordance with the remedial allocation method set forth in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

          (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 accordance
with Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder,
including Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) and 1.704-3(d).

          (c) Subject to Section 11.5, any election or other decision relating
to any allocations pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be made by the
Partnership, upon the approval of such election or other decision by the
Managing Partner, in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and
intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.6 are solely
for purposes of Federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any
way be taken into account in computing, any Partner's Capital Account or share
of Net Profit, Net Loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement.

     5.7 Regulatory Allocations. The provisions of Section 5.3 (and Section
5A.3, if applicable), are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such

              (ii) On the Final Restructuring Date, if such date is on or

<PAGE>


                                                                              49


under Section 5.11, this Section 8.1, Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Section 8.4,
Section 11.3, Section 13 and Section 11.5 and (y) the rights set forth in the
last three sentence of Section 3.1(h)(i).

     8.2  Limitations with Respect to the Selected Business. Until January 1,
2005, Advance/Newhouse may not contribute or assign (on a beneficial basis or
otherwise) any assets in the Selected Business or any rights related thereto (a
"Contribution") to a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or
other entity (a "Contribution Entity"); provided that nothing herein shall be
deemed to (i) prevent Advance/Newhouse from receiving any securities from a
third party or parties in connection with a transaction under Section 8.3 or
(ii) prevent any transfers of assets in the Selected Business to any Newhouse
Family Member, so long as such transferee remains subject to the same provisions
of this Agreement with respect to such transferred assets as does
Advance/Newhouse. Following such date, Advance/Newhouse may make such
contribution of all or any portion of the assets in the Selected Business, so
long as the following terms are adhered to in connection with such contribution:

          (a) In connection with its contribution of assets in the Selected
Business, Advance/Newhouse must receive and maintain at least 33.33% of the
common equity interests (which may be characterized, in addition to or in lieu
of common stock, as partnership interests, whether limited or general, or
limited liability company interests) or other similar interests in a
Contribution Entity, but subject to Section 8.2(i) below.

          (b) Advance/Newhouse shall not receive (except as provided in the
provisos hereto), and the Contribution Entity shall be prohibited from
providing, any consideration in connection with its contribution of assets in
the Selected Business to a Contribution Entity other than common equity in such
Contribution Entity; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit
receipt by Advance/Newhouse of (i) preferred equity interests in such
Contribution Entity in consideration for (A) contributions by Advance/Newhouse
of additional capital (not constituting assets in the Selected Business),
whether in cash or in property, to a Contribution Entity; or (B)
Advance/Newhouse foregoing receipt of distributions from the Contribution Entity
that are otherwise permitted hereunder; or (ii) up to an aggregate amount equal
to the sum of (x) the Assumed Debt (as defined in and as may be adjusted
pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement) plus (y) one-third of the Cash
Amount (as defined in and as may be adjusted pursuant to the Master Transaction
Agreement), which consideration may be received in any combination of cash or
assumption of Indebtedness by the Contribution Entity.

          (c) Advance/Newhouse may receive distributions from the Contribution
Entity, and the Contribution Entity may be allowed to make distributions to
Advance/Newhouse, only as provided in this Section 8.2(c). Advance/Newhouse may
receive distributions to the extent of its pro rata share of Operating Cash Flow
(as hereinafter defined), it being understood and agreed that such Operating
Cash Flow shall be determined on a cumulative basis during the entire period of
Advance/Newhouse's ownership interest in the Contribution Entity ("Regular
Distributions"). In addition to Regular Distributions, Advance/Newhouse may
receive distributions to the extent of its





<PAGE>


                                                                              50


pro-rata ownership share in the Contribution Entity of the cash proceeds of (1)
borrowings, (2) issuances of equity in the Contribution Entity, or (3) sales of
assets by the Contribution Entity or its Subsidiaries ("Special Distributions").
Special Distributions (measured on a cumulative basis during the entire period
of Advance/Newhouse's ownership interest in the Contribution Entity) to
Advance/Newhouse out of the proceeds of borrowings or equity issuances or sales
of assets of the Contribution Entity to which the right of first offer described
in Section 8.3 does not apply shall not exceed Advance/Newhouse's pro-rata share
of an amount equal to (x) 2 times (y) Contribution Entity EBITDA for the twelve
month period calculated as of the end of the calendar month immediately
preceding the date of the distribution; provided that in connection with an
asset sale, in calculating Contribution Entity EBITDA pro forma effect shall be
given such asset sale by reducing Contribution Entity EBITDA by the amount of
Contribution Entity EBITDA generated by such assets during the preceding twelve
month period. Special Distributions resulting from asset sales by the
Contribution Entity to which the right of first offer applies will not be
subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence. For purposes of
this Section 8.2(c), "Operating Cash Flow" shall mean, for any applicable
period, the Contribution Entity's consolidated (if applicable) net income (x)
plus, for such period, depreciation, amortization, decreases in working capital
(other than cash) losses on sales of assets, equity losses, dividends or
distributions from subsidiaries to the extent of any income of such subsidiaries
previously excluded from this definition of Operating Cash Flow under clause (z)
of this sentence, (y) minus, for such period, capital expenditures, increases in
working capital (other than cash), gains on sales of assets, equity income
(except to the extent of dividends or distributions actually received) and (z)
minus, for such period, income from subsidiaries to the extent dividends or
distributions from such entities are prohibited (by law or agreement),
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied; and "Contribution Entity EBITDA" shall mean, for any
applicable period, the Contribution Entity's consolidated (if applicable)
operating income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization
for such period, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied; provided that if for any portion of any
applicable period the Contribution Entity was not in existence, Operating Cash
Flow and Contribution Entity EBITDA shall be calculated for such portion of the
applicable period based on the results of operations of the assets in the
Contribution Entity during such portion of the applicable period. It is
understood and agreed that nothing in this Partnership Agreement shall be deemed
to limit in any respect borrowings by the Contribution Entity or its
subsidiaries for purposes other than distributions to its equity holders. For
purposes of this clause (c), (i) borrowings by Advance/Newhouse in anticipation
of the contribution of assets to, and which borrowings are assumed by, a
Contribution Entity, and recourse borrowings by Advance/Newhouse that become
nonrecourse to Advance/Newhouse upon the contribution of assets to the
Contribution Entity, shall each be deemed borrowings by the Contribution Entity
and the distribution of an equivalent amount to Advance/Newhouse, which shall be
subject to the foregoing limitations, and (ii) any sale of assets by
Advance/Newhouse or its Affiliate to a Contribution Entity for a price in excess
of the fair market value of such assets shall be deemed a distribution of the
amount in excess of such fair market value, which shall be subject to the
foregoing limitations.

                                                                              51


          (d) Any sale or disposition by the Contribution Entity of assets in
the Selected Business shall be subject to the right of first offer set forth in
Section 8.3 below, but subject to Section 8.2(i) below.

          (e) Without the prior written consent of TWE, the equity interest in
the Contribution Entity received by Advance/Newhouse shall not be assignable,
other than an assignment of such interest, in whole or in part, to a Newhouse
Family Member which is subject to the same provisions of this Partnership
Agreement with respect to such transferred interest as are applicable to
Advance/Newhouse.

          (f) Advance/Newhouse may pledge or otherwise encumber its equity
interest in the Contribution Entity received in respect of the assets in the
Selected Business contributed to the Contribution Entity provided that the
institution holding such pledge or encumbrance agrees that in the event of
foreclosure (or similar exercise of remedies), it may transfer such interest,
but the transferee of such interest shall be subject to the same limitations set
forth in this Section 8.2 and in Section 8.3 that are applicable to
Advance/Newhouse.

          (g) In the event of any liquidation of the Contribution Entity
Advance/Newhouse must receive (except for any properties or assets that have
been sold or disposed of by the Contribution Entity without any violation of
this Section 8.2) the Systems (and related assets and subscribers) in the
Preferred Cluster Area (as defined in the First Amended Agreement) and in
respect of other Systems (and related assets and subscribers), either the
Systems (and related assets and subscribers) that were in the Selected Business
or the Systems (and related assets and subscribers) that were received in
exchange for such systems by the Contribution Entity and the governing documents
relating to the Contribution Entity shall contain a provision to the effect set
forth in this Section 8.2(g).

          (h) Any such Contribution to a Contribution Entity must be entered
into by Advance/Newhouse in good faith as a true joint ownership enterprise of
the contributed assets and not a disguised sale of the assets in the Selected
Business.

          (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing in this
Section 8.4, it is agreed that the Contribution Entity may transfer or assign a
portion of the assets in the Selected Business that was initially transferred to
it by Advance/Newhouse (alone or together with other assets) to another entity
(the "Transferee") in return solely for a common equity interest in such entity,
subject to the following limitations:

              (i) the fair market value of the assets in the Selected Business
being contributed to the Transferee shall represent less than fifty percent
(50%) of the fair market value of the total assets of the Selected Business
owned by the contributing Contribution Entity;





<PAGE>


                                                                              52


              (ii) none of the other equity owners in the Transferee is an
Affiliate of any of the equity owners of the Contribution Entity or any of the
Affiliates of such equity owners;

              (iii) the indirect, effective ownership interest of Advance/
Newhouse in the common equity of the Transferee (taking into account the
ownership of Advance/Newhouse in the Contribution Entity) shall be at least
sixteen and six tenths percent (16.6%); and

              (iv) the Transferee shall be subject to the provisions of Section
8.4 to the same extent as such provisions are applicable to the Contribution
Entity.

From and after the Closing, the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall become
applicable to the Selected Subsidiary as well as to Advance/Newhouse so that the
Selected Subsidiary shall also have the rights and obligations under this
Section 8.2 as are applicable to Advance/Newhouse.

     8.3  TWE Right of First Offer.

          (a) If at any time Advance/Newhouse or any of its Affiliates that
succeed to its interest in the Selected Business (including, without limitation,
the Selected Subsidiary) desires to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any
portion of the assets of the Selected Business or any direct or indirect equity
interest therein, but excluding the transactions referred to in Section 8.3(h)
below (the "Transfer Assets"), Advance/Newhouse shall first offer to sell such
Transfer Assets on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Section 8.3, by giving written notice thereof to TWE (the "Offer Notice").
Advance/Newhouse may either provide an Offer Notice prior to commencing
substantive discussions with or soliciting offers from third parties (a "Pre-Bid
Offer Notice") or provide an Offer Notice after commencing substantive
discussions or soliciting bids from other parties (a "Post-Bid Offer Notice");
provided it is understood and agreed that Advance/Newhouse may, in connection
with a Pre-Bid Offer Notice, consult with and receive advice from investment
bankers or other advisors as to what third parties are likely to offer so long
as such investment bankers or advisors do not contact potential buyers in
connection with providing such advice. It is understood and agreed that for all
purposes of this Section 8.3, if substantive discussions with third parties are
commenced, but such discussions do not result in offers being solicited, then
after the lapse of six months from the date such substantive discussions have
ended, such discussions shall no longer be considered to have taken place for
purposes of determining if an Offer Notice is a Pre-Bid Offer Notice or a
Post-Bid Offer Notice.

          (b) An Offer Notice shall specify: (i) the price for the Transfer
Assets subject to the Offer Notice; (ii) the types of currency (and terms of, if
applicable) for payment of such price, which currency may consist only of cash;
debt; common stock; preferred stock; convertible preferred stock; or such other
corporate security (an "Other Corporate Security") that (1) is generally
accepted by the financial community for use in acquisition transactions and (2)
may be replicated by ATW using commercially reasonable efforts; and (iii) other
material terms of the proposed offer to sell, including,

                                                                              53


without limitation, whether such transaction is to be tax-advantaged or
tax-deferred, which terms shall be such that ATW could comply with or satisfy
using commercially reasonable efforts. For purposes of this Section 8.3,
commercially reasonable efforts shall include, without limitation, requesting
any necessary shareholder, lender, governmental or other third party consents or
approvals for the lawful issuance of such securities referred to above or the
lawful undertaking of the transactions contemplated hereby that would be
customary in comparable transactions.

          (c) Upon receipt of an Offer Notice, TWE may, within 10 days of
receiving such Offer Notice, by written notice to Advance/Newhouse request
information regarding the Transfer Assets subject to the Offer Notice reasonably
required to enable TWE to evaluate the proposed Offer Notice (unless such
information has been provided with or prior to the delivery of the Offer
Notice). Within the earlier of: (x) 20 business days following receipt of the
Offer Notice if TWE does not request additional information pursuant to the
preceding sentence; (y) where the Transfer Assets are not owned by a
Contribution Entity, 30 business days following receipt by TWE of written
certification from Advance/Newhouse that the information provided by
Advance/Newhouse to TWE is all the information that Advance/Newhouse has
provided, or will provide, to prospective purchasers of the Transfer Assets
(except for updated information to be supplied to maintain the accuracy of the
furnished information); or (z) where the Transfer Assets are owned by a
Contribution Entity, 30 business days following receipt by TWE of a written
certification from Advance/Newhouse (the "Contribution Entity Certification")
that TWE has been delivered such information as is reasonably required by TWE to
enable TWE to evaluate the proposed Offer Notice and as is reasonably available
to Advance/Newhouse or the Contribution Entity (which certification may
accompany the Offer Notice in the event such information has been provided with
or prior to the Offer Notice), but subject, in the case of clause (z), to
Section 8.3(g)(i), TWE shall, by written notice to Advance/Newhouse, either
accept or reject the offer set forth in the Offer Notice or make a counter-offer
(which counter-offer shall contain a price, the types of currency (and the terms
thereof) proposed to be paid and other material terms of the proposed
counter-offer; provided, however, that to qualify as a proper counter-offer
pursuant to this Section 8.3 any counter-offer by TWE must match the type or
types of currency proposed by Advance/Newhouse and in the same proportions as
proposed by Advance/Newhouse and, if Advance/Newhouse specifies a tax-advantaged
or tax-deferred transaction, such counter-offer must also specify a similar
transaction). If TWE disputes a Contribution Entity Certification given by
Advance/Newhouse pursuant to Section 8.3(c)(z) that it has delivered to TWE such
information as is reasonably required to enable TWE to evaluate the proposed
Offer Notice and is reasonably available to Advance/Newhouse or the Contribution
Entity, TWE shall give written notice of such dispute to Advance/Newhouse within
3 days of receipt of such certification from Advance/Newhouse.

          (d) If TWE does not accept, within the time period specified in
Section 8.3(c) above, the offer set forth in the Offer Notice, or if TWE makes a
proper counter-offer within such time period as set forth in Section 8.3(c)
above, then, at the time of the lapse of such period for acceptance or receipt
of a written notice of rejection of such offer or a counter-offer from TWE,
Advance/Newhouse shall provide a written notice to TWE

                                                                              54


as to whether Advance/Newhouse had provided a Pre-Bid Offer Notice or a Post-Bid
Offer Notice. If a Pre-Bid Offer Notice was provided, the written notice
delivered pursuant to this Section 8.3(d) shall contain a representation to the
effect that neither Advance/Newhouse nor any investment bankers or advisors
acting at the direction of or on behalf of Advance/Newhouse had previously
commenced substantive discussions with or solicited bids from other parties in
respect of the Transfer Assets subject to the Offer Notice; provided that if
Advance/Newhouse must reoffer the Transferred Assets as contemplated pursuant to
Sections 8.3(e) or (f) below, such representation shall only apply to
solicitation of bids in connection with the most recent reoffer.

          (e) If TWE does not accept, within the time period set forth in
Section 8.3(c) above, the offer set forth in the Offer Notice, then, subject to
compliance with the time frames set forth in this Section 8.3(e) for execution
of definitive agreements, Advance/Newhouse may sell the Transfer Assets subject
to the Offer Notice to a third party that is not an Affiliate of
Advance/Newhouse:

              (i) for the types of currency specified in the Offer Notice and in
at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the minimum amount of each such type of
currency set forth in the Offer Notice;

              (ii) in a tax-advantaged or tax-deferred transaction if
Advance/Newhouse specified such a transaction in the Offer Notice;

              (iii) at a price equal to or greater than the greater of (A) the
value of TWE's last proper counter-offer pursuant to Section 8.3(c) (if any such
proper counter-offer was made) taking into account the amount and types of
currency offered by TWE and (B) ninety-five percent (95%) of the price specified
by Advance/Newhouse in the Offer Notice (such price, the "Required Minimum
Price"); and

              (iv) on the other material terms specified in the Offer Notice.

     If Advance/Newhouse does not sign definitive agreements for such a sale
pursuant to this Section 8.3(e) within (a) 90 days of TWE's non-acceptance of a
Post-Bid Offer Notice or (b) 180 days of TWE's non-acceptance of a Pre-Bid Offer
Notice, then the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall again be applicable.

          (f) If TWE accepts, within the time period set forth in Section 8.3(c)
above, the offer set forth in the Offer Notice, or if Advance/Newhouse accepts a
counter-offer submitted by TWE, upon such acceptance, the terms of such accepted
offer or counter-offer, as the case may be, shall become binding upon the
parties. Advance/Newhouse and TWE shall negotiate in good faith to enter into
more formal agreements within 45 days of such acceptances (as the case may be),
but it is understood and agreed by TWE and Advance/Newhouse that notwithstanding
any failure to enter into more formal agreements, the terms of the accepted
offer or counter-offer, as the case may be, shall be binding upon the parties
and the transaction shall be consummated on the terms set forth in such accepted
offer or counter-offer, subject to Section 8.3(g)(ii) below.

                                                                              55


          (g) (i) To the extent that there is a dispute under this Section 8.3
regarding (1) the Contribution Entity Certification as specified in the last
sentence of Section 8.3(c) above; (2) the general acceptance of the Other
Corporate Security suggested by Advance/Newhouse or replication by ATW of the
Other Corporate Security by ATW using commercially reasonable efforts; or (3)
the ability of ATW to comply with or satisfy with the other material terms
proposed by Advance/Newhouse using commercially reasonable efforts, such dispute
shall be conclusively determined by a nationally recognized investment bank
selected in the same manner as provided for the selection of the Appraiser in
Section 8.4(j) hereof, except that the investment banking firms selected by each
party shall be chosen within five business days of delivery of the Offer Notice
and such investment banking firms shall be instructed to make the selection of
the third investment banking firm within 5 business days after their selection.
Such determination by the investment bank so chosen shall be made as soon as
practicable in accordance with procedures established by such investment bank,
except that in respect of any dispute under clause (1) hereof, such
determination shall be made within 30 business days following the Contribution
Entity Certification given by Advance/Newhouse pursuant to Section 8.3(c)(z)
above. The fees, costs, and expenses of the investment banking firm so selected
shall be borne one-half by Advance/Newhouse and one-half by TWE. To the extent
that the investment bank determines under clause (1) that additional information
must be delivered to TWE, then TWE shall, by written notice to Advance/Newhouse,
either accept or reject the offer set forth in the Offer Notice or make a
counter-offer (in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 8.3(c)
above), within 30 business days of receipt by TWE of such additional
information. If the investment bank determines under clause (1) that no
additional information is required to be delivered to TWE, then TWE shall, by
written notice to Advance/Newhouse, either accept or reject the offer set forth
in the Offer Notice or make a counter-offer (in accordance with and subject to
the terms of Section 8.3(c) above), within the later of (x) 30 days following
receipt by TWE of the Contribution Entity Certification or (y) 2 business days
of such determination by the investment bank.

              (ii) To the extent that following an acceptance of an offer or
counter-offer, as the case may be, under Section 8.3(f) above, the parties fail
to enter into more formal agreements, and a dispute arises as to any additional
customary matters that must be addressed to complete the transaction that were
not addressed in the accepted offer or counter-offer, such dispute shall be
resolved (including whether such matter must be addressed and, if so, the terms
of how such matter should be addressed) by a nationally recognized investment
bank selected in the manner and within the time frames provided in Section
8.3(g)(i) above. Such determination by the investment bank so chosen shall be
made as soon as practicable in accordance with procedures established by such
investment bank. The fees, costs and expenses of the investment banking firm so
selected shall be borne one-half by TWE and one-half by Advance/Newhouse.

              (iii) To the extent there is a dispute under this Section 8.3
regarding whether Advance/Newhouse is receiving the Required Minimum Price,
including any determination of the value of any counter-offer by TWE or the
value of an offer by Advance/Newhouse such dispute shall be conclusively
determined by a nationally recognized investment bank selected by Advance/
Newhouse, which selection

                                                                              56


shall be made within 10 business days of notice of a dispute. Such determination
by the investment banking firm so chosen shall be made as soon as practicable in
accordance with procedures established by such investment bank. The fees, costs
and expenses of the investment banking firm so selected shall be borne by
Advance/Newhouse.

          (h) The right of first offer set forth in this Section 8.3 shall not
apply to (w) any exchange of Systems (and related assets) in the Selected
Business (other than Systems in Preferred Cluster Areas (as defined in the First
Amended Agreement) for other cable systems (and related assets) of third
parties, including an exchange which contemplates cash or other property being
received by Advance/Newhouse to equalize the exchange so long as the cash or
other property being received by Advance/Newhouse does not exceed 15 percent
(15%) of the total value of the property being exchanged by it; (x) any sale or
disposition of used equipment and similar assets that are not necessary to, or
any longer useful in, the continued operation of the Systems in the Selected
Business and do not constitute a complete System; (y) any contribution or
transfer of assets permitted pursuant to Section 8.2 above; or (z) any issuance
or transfer of equity in any direct or indirect equity holder of
Advance/Newhouse; provided that (i) such equity holder is not a Cable Company
(as defined below), (ii) such issuance or transfer is in compliance with the
Parents Agreement and (iii) the transferee of such equity interest does not have
any direct or indirect equity interest in a Contribution Entity (other than as a
result of such issuance or transfer) and, from and after such issuance or
transfer, such transferee will not acquire any direct or indirect interest in a
Contribution Entity from a Newhouse Family Member (other than as a result of
such issuance or transfer). For purposes of the foregoing, a "Cable Company"
means Advance/Newhouse or any other entity that directly or indirectly (through
the ownership of equity interests) owns assets in the Selected Business if at
least a majority of the fair market value of such entity's assets (other than
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities) is comprised of Systems or
assets related thereto or a direct or indirect equity interest in an entity
owning or operating such assets.

          (i) TWE may assign its rights under this Section 8.3 to ATW or any of
its Affiliates by delivering written notice of such assignment to
Advance/Newhouse; provided that no such assignment shall relieve TWE of its
obligations under this Section 8.3 and ATW shall use, and shall cause its
Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such assignment
from hindering or delaying consummation of the transactions contemplated under
this Section 8.3.

From and after the Closing, the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall become
applicable to the Selected Subsidiary as well as to Advance/Newhouse so that the
Selected Subsidiary shall also have the rights and obligations under this
Section 8.3 as are applicable to Advance/Newhouse.


     8.4  Special Right of First Offer.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.3, during
the 30-day period (the "Special ROFO Period") immediately following each of the
first,





<PAGE>


                                                                              57


seventh, thirteenth and nineteenth anniversaries of the date of death of the
last to die of Samuel I. Newhouse, Jr. and Donald E. Newhouse (the "Special ROFO
Event"), Advance/Newhouse may, if it wishes to sell any Transfer Assets in a
transaction otherwise subject to Section 8.3, elect to comply with the special
sale process described below (the "Special ROFO Process") for the sale of all or
any portion of the Transfer Assets (the "Special ROFO Assets") to TWE by
delivering written notice of the exercise of such election to TWE (a "Special
ROFO Notice") during such 30-day period.

          (b) A Special ROFO Notice shall: (i) describe the Special ROFO Assets
in reasonable detail; (ii) specify the types of currency (and terms, if
applicable) for payment of the Special ROFO Asset Value (as defined below) for
the Special ROFO Assets, which currency may consist only of cash; debt; common
stock; preferred stock; convertible preferred stock; or Other Corporate Security
that (1) is generally accepted by the financial community for use in acquisition
transactions and (2) may be replicated by ATW using commercially reasonable
efforts; and (iii) specify other material terms of the proposed sale of the
Special ROFO Assets to TWE, including, without limitation, whether such
transaction is to be tax-advantaged or tax-deferred, which terms shall be such
that ATW could comply with or satisfy using commercially reasonable efforts. For
purposes of this Section 8.4, commercially reasonable efforts shall include
requesting any necessary shareholder, lender, governmental or other third party
consents or approvals for the lawful issuance of such securities referred to
above or the lawful undertaking of the transactions contemplated hereby that
would be customary in comparable transactions.

          (c) (i) Within 60 days following the delivery by Advance/Newhouse of
the Special ROFO Notice to TWE, an appraiser selected in accordance with
paragraph (j) below (an "Appraiser") shall determine the Special ROFO Asset
Value (as defined below) and shall deliver a written notice (the "Valuation
Notice") to each of Advance/Newhouse and TWE setting forth such Special ROFO
Asset Value, which shall be final and binding on the parties. "Special ROFO
Asset Value" shall mean (including taking into account the matters referred to
in this Section 8.4(c)) the fair market value, as of the date of valuation, of
the business of the Special ROFO Assets assuming a private market sale of the
Special ROFO Assets as an ongoing business to an unrelated third party. The
determination of Special ROFO Asset Value shall also take into account (a) the
types of currency (and terms of payment, if applicable) and (b) whether such
transaction is to be tax-advantaged or tax-deferred, each of the foregoing
clauses (a) and (b) as specified in the Special ROFO Notice. It is expressly
understood and agreed that the TWE and Advance/Newhouse shall each be entitled
to provide the Appraiser with more information than is requested by the
Appraiser, in accordance with procedures established by the Appraiser, and that
the parties intend for the Appraiser to consider, to the extent it deems
appropriate, all such information, provided that it is also understood and
agreed that the other party shall be entitled to receive copies of such
additional information furnished to the Appraiser, subject to the same
confidentiality procedures referenced in this Section 8.4.

              (ii) Advance/Newhouse shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to,
cooperate in furnishing all information that may be requested by the Appraiser
in accordance with procedures (including confidentiality protections)
established by the





<PAGE>


                                                                              58


Appraiser; provided that the production of third party agreements that contain
competitively sensitive information or that are subject to confidentiality
restrictions shall be produced to TWE subject to such protections as the
Appraiser may determine are adequate to protect the legitimate confidentiality
concerns of Advance/Newhouse and its Affiliates taking into account the need for
TWE to review such agreements as part of its presentation to the Appraiser. It
is agreed that as part of such protections the Appraiser may direct that in lieu
of such agreements being produced to TWE directly that such agreement may be
delivered to TWE's legal counsel and other advisors.

          (d) Upon receipt of the Valuation Notice, Advance/Newhouse may, within
20 days of receiving such Valuation Notice (the "Consideration Period"), by
written notice to TWE (the "ROFO Termination Notice") terminate the Special ROFO
Process. If Advance/Newhouse terminates the Special ROFO Process, then
notwithstanding Section 8.4(j), Advance/Newhouse shall pay 100% of the fees,
costs and expenses of the Appraiser. If Advance/Newhouse does not so terminate
the Special ROFO Process, then the Special ROFO Notice shall be deemed to be an
offer to sell the Special ROFO Assets to TWE at a purchase price equal to the
Special ROFO Asset Value on the terms and conditions set forth below.

          (e) If Advance/Newhouse does not deliver a ROFO Termination Notice
within the Consideration Period, then TWE may, within 10 days of the expiration
of the Consideration Period, by written notice to Advance/Newhouse request
information regarding the Special ROFO Assets reasonably required to enable TWE
to evaluate the proposal contained in the Special ROFO Notice (unless such
information has been provided with or prior to the delivery of the Special ROFO
Notice). Within the earlier of: (i) 20 business days following the expiration of
the Consideration Period if TWE does not request additional information pursuant
to the preceding sentence; (ii) where the Special ROFO Assets are not owned by a
Contribution Entity, 30 business days following receipt by TWE of written
certification from Advance/Newhouse that the information provided by
Advance/Newhouse to TWE is all the information that Advance/Newhouse has
provided, or will provide, to a prospective purchaser of the Special ROFO Assets
(except for updated information to be supplied to maintain the accuracy of the
furnished information); or (iii) where the Special ROFO Assets are owned by a
Contribution Entity, 30 business days following receipt by TWE of a written
certification from Advance/Newhouse (the "ROFO Contribution Entity
Certification") that TWE has been delivered such information as is reasonably
required by TWE to enable TWE to evaluate the offer contained in the Special
ROFO Notice and as is reasonably available to Advance/Newhouse or the
Contribution Entity (which certification may accompany the Special ROFO Notice
in the event such information has been provided with or prior to the Special
ROFO Notice), but subject, in the case of the foregoing clause (iii), to Section
8.4(h)(i), TWE may, by written notice to Advance/Newhouse, either accept or
reject the offer constituted by the Special ROFO Notice. If TWE disputes a ROFO
Contribution Entity Certification given by Advance/Newhouse pursuant to Section
8.4(e)(iii) that it has delivered to TWE such information as is reasonably
required to enable TWE to evaluate the offer contained in the Special ROFO
Notice and is reasonably available to Advance/Newhouse or the Contribution
Entity, TWE shall give written notice of such

                                                                              59


dispute to Advance/Newhouse within 3 days of receipt of such certification from
Advance/Newhouse.

          (f) If TWE does not accept, within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 8.4(e) above (the "Offer Period"), the offer set forth in the
Special ROFO Notice, then, subject to compliance with the time frames set forth
in this Section 8.4(f) for execution of definitive agreements, Advance/Newhouse
may not dispose of the Special ROFO Assets within 180 days of the expiration of
the Offer Period, unless it sells the Special ROFO Assets to a third party that
is not an Affiliate of Advance/Newhouse:

              (i) for the types of currency specified in the Special ROFO Notice
and in at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the minimum amount of each such
type of currency set forth in the Special ROFO Notice;

              (ii) in a tax-advantaged or tax-deferred transaction if Advance/
Newhouse specified such a transaction in the Special ROFO Notice;

              (iii) at a price equal to or greater than ninety-five percent
(95%) of the Special ROFO Asset Value (such price, the "ROFO Required Minimum
Price"); and

              (iv) on the other material terms specified in the Special ROFO
Notice.

     If Advance/Newhouse does not sign definitive agreements for such a sale
pursuant to this Section 8.4(f) within 180 days of the expiration of the Offer
Period, then the provisions of Section 8.3 shall again be applicable.

          (g) If TWE accepts the offer set forth in the Special ROFO Notice in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4(e) above, upon such acceptance,
the terms of such accepted offer shall become binding upon the parties.
Advance/Newhouse and TWE shall negotiate in good faith to enter into more formal
agreements within 45 days of such acceptances (as the case may be), but it is
understood and agreed by TWE and Advance/Newhouse that notwithstanding any
failure to enter into more formal agreements, the terms of the accepted offer
shall be binding upon the parties and the transaction shall be consummated on
the terms set forth in such accepted offer, subject to Section 8.4(h)(ii) below.

          (h) (i) To the extent that there is a dispute under this Section 8.4
regarding (1) the ROFO Contribution Entity Certification as specified in the
last sentence of Section 8.4(e) above; (2) the general acceptance of the Other
Corporate Security suggested by Advance/Newhouse or replication by ATW of the
Other Corporate Security by ATW using commercially reasonable efforts; or (3)
the ability of ATW to comply with or satisfy with the other material terms
proposed by Advance/Newhouse using commercially reasonable efforts, such dispute
shall be conclusively determined by the Appraiser. Such determination by the
Appraiser shall be made as soon as practicable in accordance with procedures
established by such Appraiser, except that in respect of any

                                                                              60


dispute under clause (1) hereof, such determination shall be made within 30
business days following the ROFO Contribution Entity Certification given by
Advance/Newhouse pursuant to Section 8.4(e)(iii) above. To the extent that the
Appraiser determines under clause (1) that additional information must be
delivered to TWE, then TWE shall, by delivery of a written notice to
Advance/Newhouse, either accept or reject the offer set forth in the Special
ROFO Notice (in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 8.4(e)
above), within 30 business days of receipt by TWE of such additional
information. If the Appraiser determines under clause (1) that no additional
information is required to be delivered to TWE, then TWE shall, by delivery of a
written notice to Advance/Newhouse, either accept or reject the offer set forth
in the Special ROFO Notice (in accordance with and subject to the terms of
Section 8.4(e) above), within the later of (x) 30 days following receipt by TWE
of the ROFO Contribution Entity Certification or (y) 2 business days of such
determination by the Appraiser.

              (ii) To the extent that following an acceptance of an offer under
Section 8.4(h) above, the parties fail to enter into more formal agreements, and
a dispute arises as to any additional customary matters that must be addressed
to complete the transaction that were not addressed in the accepted offer, such
dispute shall be resolved (including whether such matter must be addressed and,
if so, the terms of how such matter should be addressed) by the Appraiser within
the time frames provided in Section 8.4(h)(i) above. Such determination by the
Appraiser shall be made as soon as practicable in accordance with procedures
established by such Appraiser. The fees, costs and expenses of the Appraiser
shall be borne one-half by TWE and one-half by Advance/Newhouse.

              (iii) To the extent there is a dispute under this Section 8.4
regarding whether Advance/Newhouse is receiving the ROFO Required Minimum Price,
such dispute shall be conclusively determined by a nationally recognized
investment bank selected by Advance/Newhouse, which selection shall be made
within 10 business days of notice of a dispute. Such determination by the
investment banking firm so chosen shall be made as soon as practicable in
accordance with procedures established by such investment bank. The fees, costs
and expenses of the investment banking firm so selected shall be borne by
Advance/Newhouse.

          (i) TWE may assign its rights under this Section 8.4 to ATW or any of
its Affiliates by delivering written notice of such assignment to
Advance/Newhouse; provided that no such assignment shall relieve TWE of its
obligations under this Section 8.4 and ATW shall use, and shall cause its
Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such assignment
from hindering or delaying consummation of the transactions contemplated under
this Section 8.4.

          (j) An "Appraiser" shall be a nationally recognized investment banking
firm selected by two other nationally recognized investment banking firms, one
selected by Advance/Newhouse and one selected by TWE; provided that if one party
fails to notify the other party of its selection within the time period

          (a) In the event Advance/Newhouse or any of its Affiliates, including
the Subsidiary, desire to pursue any opportunity to acquire or make an
investment in any business (other than any acquisition, whether direct or

substantially all of the Systems of an MSO) (i) the majority of the revenues of
which are derived from the operation of Systems or (ii) consisting of Systems
serving more than 25,000 Subscribers (an "Advance/Newhouse System Opportunity"),
and such Advance/Newhouse System Opportunity is entirely within the DMA of the

such Affiliate elects to pursue such Advance/Newhouse System Opportunity but
fails to consummate the acquisition of, or investment in, such Advance/Newhouse
System Opportunity within one year of such election, then Advance/Newhouse or
any of its Affiliates shall have the right to pursue such Advance/Newhouse

the majority of the revenues of which are derived from the operation of Systems
or (ii) consisting of Systems serving more than 25,000 Subscribers (a "TWE
System Opportunity"), and such TWE System Opportunity is entirely within the DMA

<PAGE>


                                                                              64


proposed determinations of Special Income, Maximum Income Amount, and Net Tax
Amount of each of the Partners, together with the allocations required by
Sections 5.3(b)(iii) and 5.3(d)(ii) of the First Amended Agreement. The
Advance/Newhouse Accountants shall promptly review such proposed determinations
and allocations and shall deliver, within 30 days after receipt of the draft
return and necessary workpapers, a report ("Adjustment Report") setting forth in
reasonable detail the determinations and allocations with which such Accountants
disagree. Thereafter, the Managing Partner and the Advance/Newhouse Accountants
shall endeavor in good faith to agree to such determinations and allocations
prior to the filing of the Partnership's information returns. If any dispute
cannot be resolved by the Managing Partner and the Advance/Newhouse Accountants
within 10 days after the delivery of the Adjustment Report, the disputed matters
shall be referred to a mutually satisfactory independent public accounting firm
of national stature which has not been employed by any Partner for the two year
preceding the date of such referral, such firm to be selected by the TWE
Accountants and the Advance/Newhouse Accountants. In settling any disputed
matter, such independent public accounting firm shall apply the understanding of
the Partners that, until the Restructuring Effective Date, on an annual basis
the after-tax positions of the Partners with respect to the contributed assets
are to be in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests (assuming all
Partners are taxable at the Special Effective Tax Rate). The fees of such firm

for this purpose the Series A Preferred Partnership Units, the Series B

the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners as follows:

                    (A) the Selected Business Percentage (as defined below) of
     such assets to Advance/Newhouse;

                    (B) the Residual Business Percentage (as defined below) of

     in each case as determined in good faith by the Liquidator.

     For purposes hereof,

                         (x) the "Selected Business Percentage" means a fraction
     (expressed as a percentage) (a) the numerator of which is the fair value of
     the Selected Business, as of the date of dissolution, taking into account
     all attendant circumstances including, without limitation, all debt and
     other liabilities attributable to the Selected Business and (b) the
     denominator of which is the sum of clause (a) in this definition and clause
     (a) in the definition of Residual Business Percentage.

                         (y) the "Residual Business Percentage" means a fraction

     denominator of which is the sum of clause (a) in this definition and clause
     (a) in the definition of Selected Business Percentage.

              (iii) Final Accounting. Upon the dissolution and winding up of the
Partnership, a proper accounting shall be made from the date of the last
previous accounting to the date of winding up.

              (iv) Statement of Liquidation. Within a reasonable time following
the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership, the Liquidator shall
submit a statement (which need not be audited) to each Partner setting forth the
assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of liquidation and the
amount of the distribution to each Partner.

          (c) Effect of Withdrawal of a Partner. To the extent permitted by the
Act, the withdrawal of a Partner, other than the withdrawal of Advance/Newhouse
in connection with a restructuring in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof, shall
not alter the allocations and distributions to be made to the Partners pursuant
to this Agreement.

          (d) Termination of Partnership. Upon the completion of the

misconduct, or breach of this Agreement.

          (c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by any indemnified person

any alleged act or omission to act on behalf of the Selected Business or
Residual Business, as the case may be, shall be borne and paid by the Selected
Business (and Advance Newhouse) or the Residual Business (and TWE and Paragon),
as the case may be, in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or
proceeding (or the threat thereof) upon receipt of a reasonably satisfactory
undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified person to repay to the Selected
Business (and Advance Newhouse) or the Residual Business(and TWE and Paragon),
as the case may be, the amount of such expenses if it shall ultimately be
determined that such person is not entitled to the indemnification provided for
under this Section 13.1. Any indemnity under this Section 13.1 shall be provided
out of and to the extent of the Selected Business' or Residual Business', as the
case may be, assets only.

          (d) The Selected Business and Advance/Newhouse shall directly

                                                                              68


unauthorized act taken by the Residual Business, TWE or Paragon in the name of
the Residual Business, the Selected Business, the Partnership or any other
Partner.

          (c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by any Person entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 13.2 in defending any civil or criminal

Partner in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding
(or the threat thereof) upon receipt of a reasonably satisfactory undertaking by

     13.3 Procedures. With respect to the indemnities provided above in this
Section 13, an indemnified party shall, with respect to any claim made against
such indemnified party for which indemnification is available, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the nature of the claim as soon as practicable
but not more than ten days after the indemnified party shall have received
notice of the assertion thereof before any court or governmental authority. The
failure by an indemnified party to give notice as provided in the foregoing
sentence shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this
Section except to the extent that the failure results in the failure of actual
notice to the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party is damaged as a
result of the failure to give notice. Upon receipt of notice by an indemnifying
party from an indemnified party of the assertion of any such claim, the
indemnifying party shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified
party and shall assume the defense of such claim. The indemnified party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not
control) any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such indemnified party unless (a) the employment of counsel by
the indemnified party has been authorized by the indemnifying party, (b) the
indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel in writing that there
is a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party in the conduct of the defense of such action (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action
on behalf of the indemnified party), or (c) the indemnifying party shall not in
fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of
which cases the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the
indemnifying party. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement
of an action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party
of a release from all liability in respect of such action. Whether or not the
Partnership chooses to defend or prosecute a claim, each Partner shall, to the
extent requested by the Partnership and at the Partnership's expense, cooperate
in the prosecution or defense of such claim and shall furnish such records,
information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings,
hearings, trials, and appeals as may reasonably be requested in connection
therewith.

Advance/Newhouse.

     15.5 Waivers and Further Assurances; Entire Agreement. Any waiver of any
terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall not operate
as a waiver of any other breach of such terms or conditions or any other term or
condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement
operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision of this
Agreement. Each of the Partners agrees to execute all such further instruments
and documents and to take all such further action as the other Partners may
reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this
Agreement. The Partners agree that this Agreement, and the other Restructuring
Transaction Agreements, and the other agreements expressly contemplated hereby
or thereby constitutes the entire agreement between them with respect to the
subject matter of the Partnership and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between them as to such subject matter, and there are no
restrictions, agreements, arrangements, or undertakings, oral or written,
between the Partners relating to the Partnership which are not fully expressed
or referred to herein or therein.

     15.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of
the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to
any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties to

                                                                              71


this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to
effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an
acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled
to the greatest extent possible.

     15.7 Specific Enforcement; Attorney's Fees. The Partners agree that the
remedy at law for damages upon violation of the terms of this Agreement would be
inadequate because the Partnership 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 in its performance of any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and if, as a result of such default, a lawsuit seeking damages,
specific performance, or any other remedy is filed by the other Partner, then,
in that event, the prevailing party in such a lawsuit shall be entitled to
obtain attorney's fees from the losing party in such amount as shall be
determined by the court to be reasonable under the circumstances.

     15.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument, and in pleading or proving any provision of this
Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce more than one complete set of
such counterparts.

     15.9 Captions; Gender. Section headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever used herein the singular number shall
include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any
gender shall include all genders.

    15.10 Governing Law; Venue; Disputes. This Agreement shall be governed by
the internal laws of the State of New York. Any action, suit or proceeding shall
be prosecuted as to any party hereto in the County of New York, State of New
York.

    15.11 Interpretation. In this Agreement, unless otherwise specified or
where the context otherwise requires:

          (a) a reference to a Recital is to the relevant Recital to this
Agreement, to a Section is to the relevant Section of this Agreement and to an
Exhibit is to the relevant Exhibit to this Agreement;

          (b) words importing any gender shall include other genders;

          (c) words importing the singular only shall include the plural and
vice versa;

    15.12 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
each of the Partners and their successors and permitted assigns.

    15.13 Third Parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for
the benefit of, or enforceable by, any creditor of the Partnership or any Person
other than a Partner.

    15.14 Confidentiality. Each Partner agrees that it shall not, directly or
indirectly, without the prior written consent of any other Partner, use for its
own benefit (except as a Partner of the Partnership) or disclose to any Person
any information, trade secrets, confidential customer information, patents,
patent rights, technical data, or know-how relating to the products, processes,
methods, equipment, or business practices of the Partnership, except (a) to the
extent any of the foregoing is or becomes available to the public other than as
a result of disclosure by such Partner or any of its Affiliates or the
directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, and controlling persons of it
or any of its Affiliates, (b) subject to the terms of an appropriate
confidentiality agreement, as necessary to effect a transaction under Section 6,
(c) as may be required by law (including without limitation the federal and
state securities laws and the rules and regulations of applicable stock
exchanges or comparable market systems), and (d) as any Partner may disclose to
its lenders, rating agencies, and business and financial advisors. If any
Partner is required by applicable law or regulation or by legal process to
disclose any of the foregoing, it will provide any other Partner with prompt
notice thereof, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, to enable it
to seek an appropriate protective order.

    15.15 Liability of Partners. Except as set forth in any other Transaction
Agreement, no Partner shall have any liability for the debts or obligations of
the Partnership owed to any other Partner or its Affiliates arising under this
Agreement.
