REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

Section 5.1 Code and Other Remedies

During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, and may

AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

KNOLOGY, INC.

forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Credit Agreement shall prescribe, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder, except where such claims, damages or demands have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

Section 5.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles

(a) In addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Credit Agreement, if required by the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of Accounts or payment in respect of General Intangibles, when collected by any Grantor, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within five Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, in an Approved Deposit Account or a Cash Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.4 (Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent). Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. At the Collateral Agent’s written request, each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(b) At the Collateral Agent’s request, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the Accounts or payments in respect of General Intangibles, including all orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

KNOLOGY, INC.

(c) The Collateral Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its Accounts or amounts due under General Intangibles or any portion thereof.

(d) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, after giving notice to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, communicate with Account Debtors to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Account or amounts due under any General Intangible.

(e) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify Account Debtors that the Accounts or General Intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent. In addition, the Collateral Agent may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default enforce such Grantor’s rights against such Account Debtors and obligors of General Intangibles.

(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Section 5.3 Pledged Collateral

(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Collateral Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

KNOLOGY, INC.

(b) In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.

(c) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent.

Section 5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, all Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

Section 5.5 Registration Rights

(a) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 5.1 (Code and Other Remedies), and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof, to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to (i)execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii)use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public

AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

KNOLOGY, INC.

offering of the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold and (iii) make all amendments thereto or to the related prospectus that, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction that the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

Section 5.6 Deficiency

Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Section 5.7 Approvals

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall take any action which the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to transfer and assign to the Collateral Agent, or such one or more third parties as the Collateral Agent may designate, or to a combination of the foregoing, each Communications License, CATV Franchise or PUC Authorization or other approval from a Governmental Authority and the Collateral Agent is empowered to request the appointment of a receiver from any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce such obligations. Such receiver shall be instructed to seek from the Governmental

AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

KNOLOGY, INC.

Authority an involuntary transfer of control of each such Communications License, CATV Franchise or PUC Authorization or other approval for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser to whom control will ultimately be transferred. Each Grantor hereby agrees to authorize such an involuntary assignment or transfer of control upon the request of the receiver so appointed and, if such Grantor shall refuse to authorize the transfer, its approval may be required by the court. Furthermore, each Grantor shall use its best efforts to assist in obtaining approval of any Governmental Authority, if required, for any action or transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the preparation, execution and filing with any Governmental Authority of the assignor’s or transferor’s portion of any application or applications for consent to the assignment of any Communications License, CATV Franchise or PUC Authorization or other approval or transfer of control necessary or appropriate under the rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority for the approval of the transfer or assignment of any portion of the assets of such Grantor, together with any Communications License, CATV Franchise or PUC Authorization or other approval. Because each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent’s remedy at law for failure of such Grantor to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.7 would by inadequate and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, each Grantor agrees that these covenants and agreements may be specifically enforced, and each Grantor hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent understand and agree that the assignment or transfer of control of some of the Communications Licenses requires advance approval by the FCC.

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact

Anything in this clause (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any right under the power of attorney provided for in this clause (a) unless an Event of Default shall be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest provided in Sections 2.10(a)(i) and (c) (Rate of Interest) of the Credit Agreement, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

Section 6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent

The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Each Grantor hereby also authorizes the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

Section 6.4 Authority of Collateral Agent
