                                     PART I.

                                ITEM 1. BUSINESS

     THE PARTNERSHIP. Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a Colorado
limited partnership that was formed pursuant to the public offering of limited
partnership interests in the Cable TV Fund 11 Limited Partnership Program (the
"Program"), which was sponsored by Jones Intercable, Inc. (the "General
Partner"). Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd. ("Fund 11-A"), Cable TV Fund 11-C, Ltd.
("Fund 11-C") and Cable TV Fund 11-D, Ltd. ("Fund 11-D") are the other
partnerships that were formed pursuant to the Program. The Partnership, Fund
11-A, Fund 11-C and Fund 11-D formed a general partnership known as Cable TV
Joint Fund 11 (the "Venture") in which the Partnership owns an 8 percent
interest, Fund 11-A owns an 18 percent interest, Fund 11-C owns a 27 percent
interest and Fund 11-D owns a 47 percent interest. The Partnership and the
Venture were formed for the purpose of acquiring and operating cable television
systems.

     The Partnership directly owns cable television systems serving the
communities of Lancaster, Lockport and Orchard Park, New York (the "New York
System"), and the Venture operates a cable television system in Manitowoc,
Wisconsin (the "Manitowoc System"). See Item 2. The New York System and the
Manitowoc System may collectively hereinafter be referred to as the "Systems."

     PROPOSED DISPOSITIONS OF CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS. On October 6, 1995, the
Partnership entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it agreed
to sell the New York System to Global Acquisition Partners, L.P., an
unaffiliated cable television system operator, for a sales price of $84,000,000
in cash, subject to normal working capital closing adjustments. The closing of
the sale of the New York System is subject to a number of conditions, including
approval of the transaction by the holders of a majority of the Partnership's
limited partnership interests, which has been obtained, and the consent of the
state and local franchising authorities to the transfer of the New York System's
franchises, the approval of the Federal Communications Commission to the
transfer of certain licenses and the consent of third parties with whom the
Partnership has real property leases to the transfer thereof. The New York state
cable authority has conditionally approved the sale of the New York System by
the Partnership. Approvals of certain of the local franchising authorities to
the transfer of certain of the New York System's franchises have been obtained.
The remaining local government approvals are pending, and the General Partner
expects that all such approvals will be obtained before the end of March 1996.
The approvals of the Federal Communications Commission to the transfer of
certain of the New York System's franchises also are pending and are expected to
be received in the near future. Closing of this sale is expected to occur on or
about April 1, 1996.

     Upon consummation of the proposed sale of the New York System, working
capital closing adjustments will be determined, the Partnership will pay all of
its indebtedness, which totaled approximately $23,808,000 at December 31, 1995,
its sales tax liability of approximately $1,750,000 and a brokerage fee of
$2,100,000 to The Jones Group, Ltd., a subsidiary of the General Partner, and
then the Partnership will distribute the approximate $56,047,500 net proceeds to
its partners of record as of February 29, 1996. Because limited partners have
already received distributions in an amount equal to 100 percent of the capital
initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the net
proceeds from the New York System's sale will be distributed 75 percent to the
limited partners and 25 percent to the General Partner. Based upon the pro forma
financial information as of December 31, 1995, as a result of the New York
System's sale, the limited partners of the Partnership, as a group, will receive
approximately $42,035,600 and the General Partner will receive approximately
$14,011,900. Limited partners will receive $1,105 for each $500 limited
partnership interest, or $2,211 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership,
from the net proceeds of the New York System's sale. Once the distribution of
the net proceeds from the sale of the New York System has been made, limited
partners will have received a total of $1,605 for each $500 limited partnership
interest, or $3,211 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, taking into
account distributions to limited partners made in July 1990 and July 1992. The
Partnership will continue to own its 8 percent interest in the Venture until the
Manitowoc System also is sold, as discussed below. Upon the closing of the sale
of the Partnership's New York System and the Venture's Manitowoc System, the
Partnership will be liquidated and dissolved.


                                        2
<PAGE>   3
     On September 5, 1995, the Venture entered into an asset purchase agreement
pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Manitowoc System to the General Partner
for a sales price of $15,735,667, subject to normal working capital closing
adjustments. This sales price represents the average of three separate
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Manitowoc System obtained
by the General Partner, and it was the only bid tendered in a public bidding
process for the Manitowoc System. The General Partner has assigned its rights
and obligations under the asset purchase agreement to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc.
("JCH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner. The sale of the 
Manitowoc System is subject to a number of conditions, including approval of 
the transaction by the holders of a majority of the limited partnership 
interests in each of the four partnerships that comprise the Venture and 
approvals from governmental authorities and other third parties necessary to 
the transfer of the Manitowoc System. If all conditions precedent to JCH's 
obligation to close are not eventually satisfied or waived, JCH's obligation 
to purchase the Manitowoc System will terminate on September 30, 1996.

     In order to sell the Manitowoc System, the Venture must obtain the consent
of the City of Manitowoc and third parties with whom the Venture has contracts
related to the Manitowoc System, such as pole attachment agreements or other
service agreements, to the transfer thereof. The Venture was unsuccessful in its
efforts to sell the Manitowoc System in June 1990, at the time of the Venture's
sale of its remaining Wisconsin cable television systems, due to the refusal of
the City of Manitowoc to consent to the transfer of the system's franchise.
Negotiations with the City of Manitowoc with respect to the renewal and transfer
of the Manitowoc System's franchise are continuing, and the Manitowoc System
currently is being operated pursuant to a temporary extension of the franchise's
term. The General Partner hopes that the City ultimately will agree to the
renewal and transfer of the franchise and that the City will not take any action
that will prevent the closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System, but given 
the current status of the Venture's negotiations with the City there can be no 
assurance that the sale will occur as planned.

     The General Partner intends to conduct votes of the limited partners of
each of the four partnerships that comprise the Venture to seek their approval
of the Manitowoc System's sale. Because the limited partners of each of the 
four partnerships that comprise the Venture previously approved the sale of 
the Manitowoc System in 1990 only to have such sale frustrated by the refusal 
by the City of Manitowoc to consent to the transfer of the Manitowoc System's 
franchise, the General Partner believes it prudent to conduct the votes of the 
limited partners only after the City of Manitowoc consents to the transfer of 
the franchise. As discussed above, there can be no assurance that the City 
will consent to the transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise.

     If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, the Venture will
pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled $55,175 at December 31, 1995,
including the $45,258 owed to the General Partner, and then the net sale
proceeds and the Venture's cash on hand, which total $18,420,800, will be
distributed to the four constituent partnerships of the Venture in proportion to
their ownership interests in the Venture. The Partnership accordingly will
receive 8 percent of such proceeds, estimated to total approximately $1,432,700.
Because limited partners will have already received distributions in an amount
in excess of the capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited
partners, the Partnership's portion of the net proceeds from the Manitowoc
System's sale will be distributed 75 percent to the limited partners and 25
percent to the General Partner. Based upon pro forma financial information as of
December 31, 1995, as a result of the Manitowoc System's sale, the limited
partners of the Partnership, as a group, will receive approximately $1,074,500
and the General Partner will receive approximately $358,200. Limited partners
will receive $28 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $57 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership, from the Partnership's portion of the net
proceeds of the Manitowoc System's sale. Once the Partnership has completed the
distribution of its portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Manitowoc
System, limited partners of the Partnership will have received a total of $1,634
for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $3,267 for each $1,000 invested
in the Partnership, taking into account the prior distributions to limited
partners made in 1990 and 1992, and the distribution to be made on the


                                        3
<PAGE>   4
sale of the Partnership's New York System in May 1996. After the Partnership
distributes its portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Manitowoc System to
its partners, the Partnership will be dissolved and liquidated.

     Although it previously was announced that the General Partner intended to
acquire and then transfer the Manitowoc System to Time Warner Entertainment 
Company, L.P. ("Time Warner") as part of a larger exchange of cable television 
systems between the General Partner and Time Warner, the General Partner and 
Time Warner have agreed to exclude the Manitowoc System from that exchange.

     CABLE TELEVISION SERVICES. The Systems offer to their subscribers various
types of programming, which include basic service, tier service, premium
service, pay-per-view programs and packages including several of these services
at combined rates.

     Basic cable television service usually consists of signals of all four
national television networks, various independent and educational television
stations (both VHF and UHF) and certain signals received from satellites. Basic
service also usually includes programs originated locally by the system, which
may consist of music, news, weather reports, stock market and financial
information and live or videotaped programs of a public service or entertainment
nature. FM radio signals are also frequently distributed to subscribers as part
of the basic service.

     The Systems offer tier services on an optional basis to their subscribers.
A tier generally includes most of the cable networks such as Entertainment and
Sports Programming Network (ESPN), Cable News Network (CNN), Turner Network
Television (TNT), Family Channel, Discovery and others, and the cable television
operators buy tier programming from these networks. The Systems also offer a
package that includes the basic service channels and the tier services.

     The Systems also offer premium services to their subscribers, which consist
of feature films, sporting events and other special features that are presented
without commercial interruption. The cable television operators buy premium
programming from suppliers such as HBO, Showtime, Cinemax or others at a cost
based on the number of subscribers the cable operator serves. Premium service
programming usually is significantly more expensive than the basic service or
tier service programming, and consequently cable operators price premium service
separately when sold to subscribers.

     The Systems also offer to subscribers pay-per-view programming.
Pay-per-view is a service that allows subscribers to receive single programs,
frequently consisting of motion pictures that have recently completed their
theatrical exhibitions and major sporting events, and to pay for such service on
a program-by-program basis.

     REVENUES. Monthly service fees for basic, tier and premium services
constitute the major source of revenue for the Systems. At December 31, 1995,
the Systems' monthly basic service rates ranged from $5.00 to $11.08, monthly
basic and tier ("basic plus") service rates ranged from $18.76 to $23.45, and
monthly premium services ranged from $3.95 to $12.95 per premium service. In
addition, the Partnership and the Venture earn revenues from the Systems'
pay-per-view programs and advertising fees. Related charges may include a
nonrecurring installation fee that ranges from $4.89 to $35.00; however, from
time to time the Systems have followed the common industry practice of reducing
or waiving the installation fee during promotional periods. Commercial
subscribers such as hotels, motels and hospitals are charged a nonrecurring
connection fee that usually covers the cost of installation. Except under the
terms of certain contracts with commercial subscribers and residential apartment
and condominium complexes, the subscribers are free to discontinue the service
at any time without penalty. For the year ended December 31, 1995, of the total
fees received by the Systems, basic service and tier service fees accounted for
approximately 72% of total revenues, premium service fees accounted for
approximately 14% of total revenues, pay-per-view fees were approximately 1% of
total revenues, advertising fees were approximately 5% of total revenues and the
remaining 8% of total revenues came principally from equipment rentals,
installation fees and program guide sales. The Partnership and the Venture are
dependent



                                        4
<PAGE>   5
upon the timely receipt of service fees to provide for maintenance and
replacement of plant and equipment, current operating expenses and other costs
of the Systems.

     FRANCHISES. The Systems are constructed and operated under non-exclusive,
fixed-term franchises or other types of operating authorities (referred to
collectively herein as "franchises") granted by local governmental authorities.
These franchises typically contain many conditions, such as time limitations on
commencement and completion of construction, conditions of services, including
the number of channels, types of programming and the provision of free service
to schools and certain other public institutions, and the maintenance of
insurance and indemnity bonds. The provisions of local franchises are subject to
federal regulation.

     The Partnership holds 10 franchises in connection with its ownership of the
New York System, and the Venture holds one franchise issued by the City of
Manitowoc, Wisconsin. These franchises provide for the payment of fees to the
issuing authorities and generally range from 3% to 5% of the gross revenues of a
cable television system. The 1984 Cable Act prohibits franchising authorities
from imposing annual franchise fees in excess of 5% of gross revenues and also
permits the cable television system operator to seek renegotiation and
modification of franchise requirements if warranted by changed circumstances.

     Neither the Partnership nor the Venture has ever had a franchise revoked,
although, as discussed below, the Venture has been unsuccessful in its attempts
to renew its franchise from the City of Manitowoc. The Partnership's New York
System franchise expiration dates range from May 1996 to June 2005. Because the
Partnership intends to sell its New York System (see Item 1, Proposed
Dispositions of Cable Television Systems), the Partnership does not intend to
renew the Village of Lancaster and the Town of Lancaster franchises that will
expire in 1996. The renewal of these franchises will be the responsibility of
the new owner.

     The Venture holds one franchise for the City of Manitowoc, which
technically has expired. Negotiations between the Venture and the City of
Manitowoc with respect to the renewal of the Manitowoc System's franchise are
continuing, and the Manitowoc System currently is being operated pursuant to a
temporary extension of the franchise's term. The General Partner hopes that the
City soon will agree to the renewal of the franchise, but given the current
status of negotiations with the City, there can be no assurance of this. If the
current franchise is not renewed, the General Partner, on the Venture's behalf,
will avail itself of all remedies and recourse granted to cable operators under
federal and applicable state and local laws in order to preserve the Venture's
right to provide cable services in the City of Manitowoc. The Venture also would
seek the return of the $1,850,000, plus interest, that the Venture deposited
with the City of Manitowoc in connection with the settlement of the Venture's
lawsuit against the City. The settlement agreement provides for the return of
this amount to the Venture if the City fails to renew the franchise.

     COMPETITION. Cable television systems currently experience competition from
several sources. A potential source of significant competition is Direct
Broadcast Satellite ("DBS") services that use video compression technology to
increase channel capacity and provide packages of movies, network and other
program services that are competitive with those of cable television systems.
Two companies offering DBS services began operations in 1994, and two other
companies offering DBS service recently began operations. In addition, a joint
venture has won the right to provide a DBS service through a FCC spectrum
auction. Not all subscribers terminate cable television service upon acquiring a
DBS system. The General Partner has observed that a number of DBS subscribers
also elect to subscribe to cable television service in order to obtain the
greatest variety of programming on multiple television sets, including local
video services programming not available through DBS service.

     Although neither the Partnership, the Venture nor the General Partner has
yet encountered competition from a telephone company providing video services as
a cable operator or video dialtone operator, it is anticipated that the cable
television systems owned or managed by the General Partner will face such
competition in the near future. Legislation recently enacted into law will make
it possible for companies with considerable resources to enter the business. For
example, in February 1996, one of the regional Bell operating companies entered
into an agreement to acquire the nation's third largest cable television
company. In addition, several telephone companies


                                        5
<PAGE>   6
have begun seeking cable television franchises from local governmental
authorities as a consequence of litigation that successfully challenged the
constitutionality of the cable television/telephone company cross-ownership
rules. The General Partner cannot predict at this time when and to what extent
telephone companies will provide cable television service within service areas
in competition with cable television systems owned or managed by the General
Partner. The General Partner is aware of the following imminent competition from
telephone companies: Ameritech, one of the seven regional Bell operating
companies, which provides telephone service in a multi-state region including
Illinois, has just obtained a franchise that will allow it to provide cable
television service in Naperville, Illinois, a community currently served by a
cable system owned by another one of the public limited partnerships managed by
the General Partner. Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia and
Bell Atlantic Video Service Company, both subsidiaries of Bell Atlantic, another
of the regional Bell operating companies, have announced their intention to
build a cable television system in Alexandria, Virginia in competition with a
cable television system owned by the General Partner. Bell Atlantic is preparing
for the operation of a telecommunications and video business in northern
Virginia, including the Alexandria metropolitan area. The FCC has granted GTE
Virginia's application for authority to construct, operate, own and maintain
video dialtone facilities in northern Virginia, including in the service area of
a cable television system owned by the General Partner. To date, GTE has not
begun construction of a video distribution system. The entry of telephone
companies as direct competitors could adversely affect the profitability and
market value of the General Partner's owned and managed systems.

     Additional competition is present from several sources, including the
following: Master Antenna Television and Satellite Master Antenna Television
systems that serve multi-unit dwellings such as condominiums, apartment
complexes, motels, hotels and private residential communities; private cable
television/telephonic companies that have secured exclusive contracts to provide
video and telephony services to multi-unit dwellings and similar complexes; and
multichannel, multipoint distribution service ("MMDS") systems, commonly called
wireless cable which generally focus on providing service to residents of rural
areas. In addition, the FCC has established a new wireless telecommunications
service known as Personal Communications Service ("PCS") that would provide
portable non-vehicular mobile communications services similar to that available
from cellular telephone companies, but at a lower cost. Several cable television
multiple system operators hold or have requested experimental licenses from the
FCC to test PCS technology.

     REGULATION AND LEGISLATION. The cable industry is regulated under the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") and the Cable
Communications Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act") and the regulations
implementing these statutes. The Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC")
has promulgated regulations covering such areas as the registration of cable
television systems and other communications businesses, carriage of television
broadcast programming, consumer education and lockbox enforcement, origination
cablecasting and sponsorship identification, children's programming, the
regulation of basic cable and cable programming service rates in areas where
cable television systems are not subject to effective competition, signal
leakage and frequency use, technical performance, maintenance of various
records, equal employment opportunity, and antenna structure notification,
marking and lighting. In addition, cable operators periodically are required to
file various informational reports with the FCC. The FCC has the authority to
enforce these regulations through the imposition of substantial fines, the
issuance of cease and desist orders and/or the imposition of administrative
sanctions, such as the revocation of FCC licenses needed to operate certain
transmission facilities often used in connection with cable operations. State or
local franchising authorities, as applicable, also have the right to enforce
various regulations, impose fines or sanctions, issue orders or seek revocation
subject to the limitations imposed upon such franchising authorities by federal,
state and local laws and regulations. Several states have assumed regulatory
jurisdiction of the cable television industry, and it is anticipated that other
states will do so in the future. To the extent the cable television industry
begins providing telephone service, additional state regulations will be applied
to the cable television industry. Cable television operations are subject to
local regulation insofar as systems operate under franchises granted by local
authorities.

     The following is a summary of federal laws and regulations materially
affecting the cable television industry, and a description of state and local
laws with which the cable industry must comply.


                                        6

     Telecommunications Act of 1996. The 1996 Act, which became law on February
28, 1996, substantially revised the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
including the 1984 Cable Act and the 1992 Cable Act, and has been described as
one of the most significant changes in communications regulation since the
original Communications Act of 1934. The 1996 Act is intended, in part, to
promote substantial competition in the telephone local exchange and in the
delivery of video and other services. As a result of the 1996 Act, local
telephone companies (also known as local exchange carriers or "LECs") and other
service providers are permitted to provide video programming, and cable
television operators are permitted entry into the telephone local exchange
market. The FCC is required to conduct rulemaking proceedings over the next
several months to implement various provisions of the 1996 Act.

     Among other provisions, the 1996 Act modified the 1992 Cable Act by
deregulating the cable programming service tier of large cable operators
effective March 31, 1999 and the cable programming service tier of small cable
operators (those that provide service to 50,000 or fewer subscribers) effective
immediately. The 1996 Act also revised the procedures for filing a cable
programming service tier rate complaint and adds a new effective competition
test.

     The most far-reaching changes in the communications business will result
from the telephony provisions of the 1996 Act. The statute expressly preempts
any legal barriers to competition in the local telephone business that
previously existed in state and local laws and regulations. Many of these
barriers had been lifted by state actions over the last few years, but the 1996
Act completes the task. The 1996 Act also establishes new requirements for
maintaining and enhancing universal telephone service and new obligations for
telecommunications providers to maintain privacy of customer information. The
1996 Act establishes uniform requirements and standards for entry, competitive
carrier interconnection and unbundling of LEC monopoly services. 

     The 1996 Act repealed the cable television/telephone cross-ownership ban
adopted in the 1984 Cable Act. The federal cross-ownership ban was particularly
important to the cable industry because telephone companies already own certain
facilities such as poles, ducts and associated rights of way. While this ban had
been overturned by several courts, formal removal of the ban ended the last
legal constraints on telephone company plans to enter the cable market. Under
the 1996 Act, telephone companies in their capacity as common carriers now may
lease capacity to others to provide cable television service. Telephone
companies have the option of providing video service as cable operators or
through "open video systems" ("OVS"), a regulatory regime that may provide more
flexibility than traditional cable service. The 1996 Act exempts OVS operators
from many of the regulatory obligations that currently apply to cable operators,
such as rate regulation and franchise fees, although other requirements are
still applicable. OVS operators, although not subject to franchise fees as
defined by the 1992 Cable Act, are subject to fees charged by local franchising
authorities or other governmental entities in lieu of franchise fees. (Under
certain circumstances, cable operators also will be able to offer service
through open video systems.) In addition, the 1996 Act eliminated the
requirement that telephone companies file Section 214 applications (applications
to provide video dialtone services) with the FCC before providing video service.
This limits the opportunity of cable operators to mount challenges at the FCC
regarding telephone company entry into the video market. The 1996 Act also
contains restrictions on buying out incumbent cable operators in a telephone
company's service area, especially in suburban and urban markets.

     Other parts of the 1996 Act also will affect cable operators. Under the
1996 Act, the FCC is required to revise the current pole attachment rate
formula. This revision will result in an increase in the rates paid by entities,
including cable operators, that provide telecommunication services. The rates
will be phased in after a five-year period. (Cable operators that provide only
cable services will be unaffected.) Under the V-chip provisions of the 1996 Act,
cable operators and other video providers are required to pass along any program
rating information that programmers include in video signals. Cable operators
also are subject to new scrambling requirements for sexually explicit
programming, and cable operators that provide Internet access or other online
services are subject to the new indecency limitations for computer services. In
addition, cable operators that


                                        7
<PAGE>   8
provide Internet access or other online services are subject to the new
indecency limitations for computer services, although these provisions already
have been challenged in court. These provisions already have been challenged,
and the courts have preliminarily enjoined the enforcement of these
content-based provisions.

     Under the 1996 Act, a franchising authority may not require a cable
operator to provide telecommunications services or facilities, other than an
institutional network, as a condition to a grant, renewal or transfer of a cable
franchise, and franchising authorities are preempted from regulating
telecommunications services provided by cable operators and from requiring cable
operators to obtain a franchise to provide such services. The 1996 Act also
repealed the 1992 Cable Act's anti-trafficking provision, which generally
required the holding of cable television systems for three years.

     It is premature to predict the specific effects of the 1996 Act on the
cable industry in general or the Partnership in particular. The FCC shortly will
be undertaking numerous rulemaking proceedings to interpret and implement the
1996 Act. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of those
proceedings or their effect on the Partnership.

     Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. The 1992
Cable Act, which became effective on December 4, 1992, caused significant
changes to the regulatory environment in which the cable television industry
operates. The 1992 Cable Act generally mandated a greater degree of regulation
of the cable television industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act's definition of
effective competition, nearly all cable television systems in the United States,
including those owned and managed by the General Partner, became subject to rate
regulation of basic cable services. In addition, the 1992 Cable Act allowed the
FCC to regulate rates for non-basic service tiers other than premium services in
response to complaints filed by franchising authorities and/or cable
subscribers. In April 1993, the FCC adopted regulations governing rates for
basic and non-basic services. The FCC's rules became effective on September 1,
1993. In compliance with these rules, the General Partner on behalf of the
Partnership and the Venture reduced rates charged for certain regulated services
in the New York System and the Manitowoc System effective September 1, 1993.

     On February 22, 1994, however, the FCC adopted several additional rate
orders including an order which revised its earlier-announced regulatory scheme
with respect to rates. The FCC's new regulations generally required rate
reductions, absent a successful cost-of-service showing, of 17 percent of
September 30, 1992 rates, adjusted for inflation, channel modifications,
equipment costs, and increases in programming costs. Further rate reductions for
cable systems whose rates are below the revised benchmark levels, as well as
reductions that would require operators to reduce rates below benchmark levels
in order to achieve a 17 percent rate reduction, were held in abeyance pending
completion of cable system cost studies. The FCC recently requested some of
these "low price" systems to complete cost study questionnaires. After review of
these questionnaires, the FCC could decide to permanently defer any further rate
reductions, or require the additional 7 percent rate roll back for some or all
of these systems. The FCC has also adopted its proposed upgrade methodology by
which operators would be permitted to recover the costs of upgrading their
plant.

     After analyzing the effects of the two methods of rate regulation, the
Partnership elected to file cost-of-service showings for the New York System.
The General Partner anticipates no further reduction of revenues or operating
income before depreciation and amortization resulting from the FCC's rate
regulations. At this time, the regulatory authorities have not approved the
cost-of-service showings, and there can be no assurance that the Partnership's
cost-of-service showings will prevent further rate reductions until such final
approval is received. The Venture complied with the new benchmark regulations
and further reduced rates in its Manitowoc System. The Venture will continue its
efforts to mitigate the effect of such rate reductions.

     On November 10, 1994, the FCC also announced a revision to its regulations
governing the manner in which cable operators may charge subscribers for new
cable programming services. In addition to the present formula for calculating
the permissible rate for new services, the FCC instituted a three-year flat fee
mark-up plan for charges relating to new channels of cable programming services.
Commencing on January 1, 1995, cable system operators may charge for new
channels of cable programming services added after May 14, 1994 at a rate of up
to 20 cents per channel, but may not make adjustments to monthly rates totaling
more than $1.20 plus an


                                        8
<PAGE>   9
additional 30 cents for programming license fees per subscriber over the first
two years of the three-year period for these new services. Operators may charge
an additional 20 cents in the third year only for channels added in that year
plus the costs for the programming. Operators electing to use the 20 cent per
channel adjustment may not also take a 7.5 percent mark-up on programming cost
increases, which is permitted under the FCC's current rate regulations. The FCC
has requested further comment as to whether cable operators should continue to
receive the 7.5 percent mark-up on increases in license fees on existing
programming services.

     The FCC also announced that it will permit operators to offer a "new
product tier" ("NPT"). Operators will be able to price the NPT as they elect so
long as, among other conditions, other channels that are subject to rate
regulation are priced in conformity with applicable regulations and operators do
not remove programming services from existing tiers and offer them on the NPT.

     In September 1995, the FCC authorized a new, alternative method of
implementing rate adjustments which will allow cable operators to increase rates
for programming annually on the basis of projected increases in external costs
(inflation, costs for programming, franchise-related obligations and changes in
the number of regulated channels) rather than on the basis of cost increases
incurred in the preceding calendar quarter. Operators that elect not to recover
all of their accrued external costs and inflation pass-throughs each year may
recover them (with interest) in subsequent years.

     In December 1995, the FCC adopted final cost-of-service rate regulations
requiring, among other things, cable operators to exclude 34 percent of system
acquisition costs related to intangible and tangible assets used to provide
regulated services. The FCC also reaffirmed the industry-wide 11.25 percent
after tax rate of return on an operator's allowable rate base, but initiated a
further rulemaking in which it proposes to use an operator's actual debt cost
and capital structure to determine an operator's cost of capital or rate of
return. After a rate has been set pursuant to a cost-of-service showing, rate
increases for regulated services are indexed for inflation, and operators are
permitted to increase rates in response to increases in costs beyond their
control, such as taxes and increased programming costs.

     The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
recently upheld the FCC's rate regulations implemented pursuant to the 1992
Cable Act, but ruled that the FCC impermissibly failed to permit cable operators
to adjust rates for certain cost increases incurred during the period between
the date the 1992 Cable Act was passed through the initial date of rate
regulation. The FCC has not yet implemented the court's ruling.

     There have been several lawsuits filed by cable operators and programmers
in federal court challenging various aspects of the 1992 Cable Act including its
provisions relating to mandatory broadcast signal carriage, retransmission
consent, access to cable programming, rate regulations, commercial leased
channels and public access channels. On April 8, 1993, a three-judge federal
district court panel issued a decision upholding the constitutionality of the
mandatory signal carriage requirements of the 1992 Cable Act. That decision was
appealed directly to the United States Supreme Court. The United States Supreme
Court vacated the lower court decision on June 27, 1994 and remanded the case to
the district court for further development of a factual record. On December 12,
1995, the three-judge federal district court again upheld the must-carry rules'
validity. This decision has been appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

     In 1993, a federal district court upheld provisions of the 1992 Cable Act
concerning rate regulation, retransmission consent, restrictions on vertically
integrated cable television operators and programmers, mandatory carriage of
programming on commercial leased channels and public, educational and
governmental access channels and the exemption for municipalities from civil
damage liability arising out of local regulation of cable services. The 1992
Cable Act's provisions providing for multiple ownership limits for cable
operators and advance notice of free previews for certain programming services
have been found unconstitutional and these decisions have been appealed. The
FCC's regulations relating to the carriage of indecent programming, which were
recently upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia, have been appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

     Franchising. The responsibility for franchising or other authorization of
cable television systems is left to state and local authorities. There are,
however, several provisions in the 1984 Cable Act that govern the terms and
conditions under which cable television systems provide service. These include
uniform standards and policies that are applicable to cable television operators
seeking renewal of a cable television franchise. The procedures established
provide for a formal renewal process should the franchising authority and the
cable television operator decline to use an informal procedure. A franchising
authority unable to make a preliminary determination to renew a franchise is
required to hold a hearing in which the operator has the right to participate.
In the event a determination is made not to renew the franchise at the
conclusion of the hearing, the franchising authority must provide the operator
with a written decision stating the specific reasons for non-renewal. Generally,
the franchising authority can finally decide not to renew a franchise only if it
finds that the cable operator has not substantially complied with the material
terms of the present franchise, has not provided reasonable service in light of
the community's needs, does not have the financial, legal or technical ability
to provide the services being proposed for the future, or has not presented a
reasonable proposal for future service. A final decision of non-renewal by the
franchising authority is appealable in court.

     A provision of the 1996 Act preempts franchising authorities from
regulating telecommunications services provided by cable operators and from
requiring cable operators to obtain a franchise to provide such services. A
franchising authority may not require a cable operator to provide
telecommunications services or facilities, other than an institutional network,
as a condition to a grant, renewal or transfer of a cable franchise.

     GENERAL. The Partnership's and the Venture's business consist of providing
cable television services to a large number of customers, the loss of any one of
which would have no material effect on the Partnership's or the Venture's
business. Each of the Systems has had some subscribers who later terminated the
service. Terminations occur primarily because people move to another home or to
another city. In other cases, people terminate on a seasonal basis or because
they no longer can afford or are dissatisfied with the service. The amount of
past due accounts in the Systems is not significant. The General Partner's
policy with regard to past due accounts is basically one of disconnecting
service before a past due account becomes material.

     Neither the Partnership nor the Venture depends to any material extent on
the availability of raw materials; it carries no significant amounts of
inventory and it has no material backlog of customer orders. The Partnership has
no employees because all properties are managed by employees of the General
Partner. The General Partner has engaged in research and development activities
relating to the provision of new services but the amount of the Partnership's or
the Venture's funds expended for such research and development has never been
material.

     Compliance with federal, state and local provisions that have been enacted
or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment has had no material
effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the
Partnership or the Venture.

     The following sets forth (i) the monthly basic plus service rates charged
to subscribers and (ii) the number of basic subscribers and pay units for the
Systems. The monthly basic service rates set forth herein represent, with
respect to systems with multiple headends, the basic service rate charged to the
majority of the subscribers within the system. In cable television systems,
basic subscribers can subscribe to more than one pay TV service. Thus, the total
number of pay services subscribed to by basic subscribers are called pay units.
As of December 31, 1995, the New York System's cable plant passed approximately
57,700 homes, representing an approximate 68% penetration rate, and the
Manitowoc System's cable plant passed approximately 16,000 homes, representing
an approximate 71% penetration rate. Figures for numbers of subscribers, miles
of cable plant and homes passed are compiled from the General Partner's records
and may be subject to adjustments.

           ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     In January and February 1996, a special vote of the limited partners of the
Partnership was conducted through the mails on behalf of the Partnership by the
General Partner for the purpose of obtaining limited partner approval of the
sale to Global Acquisition Partners, L.P. of the New York System for $84,000,000
in cash, subject to normal working capital closing adjustments. Limited partners
of record at the close of business on December 31, 1995 were entitled to notice
of, and to participate in, this vote of limited partners. Of the 38,026

limited partnership interests entitled to vote, 26,333 interests, or 69.25
percent, voted to approve the transaction, 76 interests, or .20 percent, voted
against the transaction, 210 interests, or .55 percent, abstained from voting
and 11,407 interests, or 30 percent, did not vote on the proposal. It is
anticipated that the sale of the New York System will occur on or about April 1,
1996. See Item 1, Business.

     While the Partnership is publicly held, there is no public market for the
limited partnership interests, and it is not expected that a market will develop
in the future. As of February 15, 1996, the number of equity security holders in
the Partnership was 3,164.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

                            CABLE TV FUND 11-B, LTD.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         1995 compared to 1994

         Revenues of Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") totaled
$14,366,359 in 1995 as compared to $12,791,832 in 1994, an increase of
$1,574,527, or approximately 12 percent.  Basic rate increases accounted for
approximately 64 percent of the increase in revenues.  An increase in the
subscriber base accounted for approximately 33 percent of the increase in
revenues.  The number of basic subscribers increased 2,116, or approximately 6
percent, to 39,735 at December 31, 1995 from 37,619 at December 31, 1994.  No
other factors individually were significant to the increase in revenues.

         Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the
administration of the Partnership's cable television system.  The principal
cost components are salaries paid to system personnel, programming expenses,
professional fees, subscriber billing costs, rent for leased facilities, cable
system maintenance expenses and consumer marketing expenses.

         Operating expenses totaled $8,123,450 in 1995 compared to $7,459,002
in 1994, an increase of $664,448, or approximately 9 percent.  Operating
expenses represented approximately 57 percent of revenues in 1995 compared to
approximately 58 percent of revenues in 1994.  The increase in operating
expenses was due to increases in programming fees and system maintenance costs,
due, in part, to the increase in the subscriber base.  These increases were
offset, in part, by decreases in personnel related expense.  No other factors
individually were significant to the increase in the Partnership's operating
expenses.

         Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner
totaled $1,755,599 in 1995 compared to $1,629,178 in 1994, an increase of
$126,421, or approximately 8 percent, due to the increase in revenues, upon
which such fees and allocations are based.

         Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $2,957,444 in 1995
compared to $2,379,471 in 1994, an increase of $577,973, or approximately 24
percent, due to capital additions in 1995 and 1994.

         Operating income totaled $1,529,866 in 1995 compared to $1,324,181 in
1994, an increase of $205,685, or approximately 16 percent, due to the increase
in revenues exceeding the increases in operating expenses, management fees and
allocated overhead from the General Partner and depreciation and amortization
expense.

         The cable television industry generally measures the performance of a
cable television system in terms of cash flow or operating income before
depreciation and amortization.  The value of a cable television system is often
determined using multiples of cash flow.  This measure is not intended to be a
substitute or improvement upon the items disclosed on the financial statements,
rather it is included because it is an industry standard.  Operating income
before depreciation and amortization totaled $4,487,310 in 1995 compared to
$3,703,652 in 1994, an increase of $783,658, or approximately 21 percent, due
to the increase in revenues exceeding the increases in operating expenses and
management fees and overhead from the General Partner.

         Interest expense totaled $1,773,876 in 1995 compared to $1,126,399 in
1994, an increase of $647,477, or approximately 57 percent, due to higher
outstanding balances on interest bearing obligations and higher effective
interest rates during 1995.

         The Partnership recognized net loss before equity in net income of
cable television joint venture of $194,179 in 1995 compared to income before
equity in net income of cable television joint venture of $107,920 in 1994, a
decrease of $302,099, due primarily to the increase in interest expense.

         1994 compared to 1993

         Revenues of the Partnership totaled $12,791,832 in 1994 compared to
$11,922,307 in 1993, an increase of $869,525, or approximately 7 percent.  An
increase in basic subscribers primarily accounted for the increase in revenues.
The number of basic subscribers increased 1,742, or approximately 5 percent, to
37,619 at December 31, 1994 from 35,877 at December 31, 1993.  The increase in
revenues would have been greater but for the reduction in basic rates due to
basic rate regulations issued by the FCC in April 1993 with which the
Partnership complied effective September 1, 1993.  No other factors
individually were significant to the increase in revenues.

         Operating expenses totaled $7,459,002 in 1994 compared to $7,476,761
in 1993, a decrease of $17,759, or less than 1 percent.  Operating expenses
represented approximately 58 percent of revenues in 1994 compared to
approximately 63 percent in 1993.  The decrease in operating expenses was due
primarily to decreases in personnel related and marketing related expenses.
These decreases were partially offset by increases in programming fees and
plant maintenance costs.  No other factors individually were significant to the
decrease in operating expenses.

         Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner
totaled $1,629,178 in 1994 compared to $1,421,026 in 1993, an increase of
$208,152, or approximately 15 percent, due to the increase in revenues, upon
which such fees and allocations are based, and to an increase in expenses
allocated from the General Partner.  The General Partner experienced increases
in expenses in 1994.

         Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $2,379,471 in 1994
compared to $1,899,145 in 1993, an increase of $480,326, or approximately 25
percent, due to capital additions in 1994 and 1993.

         Operating income totaled $1,324,181 in 1994 compared to $1,125,375 in
1993, an increase of $198,806, or approximately 18 percent, due to the increase
in revenues exceeding the increases in operating expenses, management fees and
allocated overhead from the General Partner and depreciation and amortization
expense.

         Interest expense totaled $1,126,399 in 1994 compared to $636,263 in
1993, an increase of $490,136, or approximately 77 percent, due to higher
outstanding balances on interest bearing obligations and higher effective
interest rates.

         Income before equity in net income of cable television joint venture
totaled $107,920 in 1994 compared to $461,481 in 1993, a decrease of $353,561,
or approximately 77 percent, due to the increase in interest expense exceeding
the increase in operating income.

         In addition to the New York System owned by it, the Partnership also
owns an 8 percent interest in Cable TV Joint Fund 11 ("Joint Fund 11").  Refer
to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for Joint Fund 11 for details pertaining to its operation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         On October 6, 1995, the Partnership entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the New York System to an
unaffiliated cable television system operator for a sales price of $84,000,000.
This transaction was approved by a majority of the Partnership's limited
partnership interests in a vote conducted during the first quarter of 1996.
The closing of the sale of the New York System is subject to the successful
transfer of the New York System's franchises.  Closing of this sale is expected
to occur on or about April 1, 1996.

         Upon consummation of the proposed sale of the New York System, the
Partnership will pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled approximately
$23,808,000 at December 31, 1995, its sales tax liability of approximately
$1,750,000 and a brokerage fee of $2,100,000 to The Jones Group, Ltd., a
subsidiary of the General Partner, and then the Partnership will distribute the
approximate $56,047,500 net proceeds to its partners of record as of February
29, 1996.  Because limited partners have already received distributions in an
amount equal to 100 percent of the capital initially contributed to the
Partnership by the limited partners, the net proceeds from the New York
System's sale will be distributed 75 percent to the limited partners and 25
percent to the General Partner.  Based upon the pro forma financial information
as of December 31, 1995, as a result of the New York System's sale, the limited
partners of the Partnership, as a group, will receive approximately $42,035,600
and the General Partner will receive approximately $14,011,900.  Limited
partners will receive $1,105 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or
$2,211 for each $1,000 invested in the





                                          15
<PAGE>   16
Partnership, from the net proceeds of the New York System's sale.  Once the
distribution of the net proceeds from the sale of the New York System has been
made, limited partners will have received a total of $1,605 for each $500
limited partnership interest, or $3,211 for each $1,000 invested in the
Partnership, taking into account distributions to limited partners made in July
1990 and July 1992.  The Partnership will continue to own its 8 percent
interest in the Venture until the Manitowoc System also is sold.  Upon the
closing of the sale of the Partnership's New York System and the Venture's
Manitowoc System, the Partnership will be liquidated and dissolved.

         On September 5, 1995, Joint Fund 11 entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Manitowoc System to the
General Partner for a sales price of $15,735,667, subject to normal working
capital closing adjustments.  The closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System
is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the holders of
a majority of the limited partnership interests in each of the four
partnerships that comprise Joint Fund 11 in votes to be conducted in 1996 and
the successful renewal and transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise.

         If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, Joint Fund 11
will pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled $55,175 at December 1995,
including $45,258 owed to the General Partner, and then the net sales proceeds
plus cash on hand will be distributed to Joint Fund 11's partners in proportion 
to their ownership interests in Joint Fund 11.  The Partnership accordingly 
will receive 8 percent of such proceeds, estimated to total approximately 
$1,432,700.  Because limited partners will have already received distributions 
in an amount in excess of the capital initially contributed to the Partnership 
by the limited partners, the Partnership's portion of the net proceeds from the
Manitowoc System's sale will be distributed 75 percent to the limited partners
and 25 percent to the General Partner.  Based upon pro forma financial
information as of December 31, 1995, as a result of the Manitowoc System's
sale, the limited partners of the Partnership, as a group, will receive
approximately $1,074,500 and the General Partner will receive approximately
$358,200.  As a result, it is anticipated that the limited partners will 
receive approximately $28 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or
approximately $57 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, from the
Partnership's portion of the net proceeds of the Manitowoc System's sale.
After the Partnership distributes its portion of the proceeds from the sale of
the Manitowoc System to its partners, the Partnership will be dissolved and
liquidated.

         The Partnership expended approximately $4,143,000 on capital
improvements during 1995.  Of this total, approximately 34 percent related to
the completion of the franchise required rebuild and upgrade of the New York
System.  Plant extensions and service drops to subscriber homes accounted for
approximately 24 percent of the capital expenditures.  Converters accounted for
approximately 10 percent of the capital expenditures.  The remainder of the
expenditures were for various other enhancements in the New York System.
Funding for these expenditures was provided primarily by cash generated from
operations and borrowings under the Partnership's credit facility.  Capital
additions for 1996 will consist of expenditures necessary to maintain the value
of the plant until the New York System is sold.  Funding for these expenditures
is expected to be provided by cash generated from operations and available
borrowings from the Partnership's existing credit facility.

         On February 28, 1995, the Partnership entered into a $25,000,000
revolving credit and term loan agreement.  The revolving credit period expires
January 1, 1997, at which time the outstanding balance converts to a term loan
payable in 24 consecutive quarterly installments commencing March 31, 1997.  As
of December 31, 1995, $23,600,000 was outstanding under this agreement, leaving
$1,400,000 available for future needs of the Partnership.  Interest payable on
outstanding amounts is at the Partnership's option of the Base Rate plus 1/2
percent or the London InterBank Offered Rate plus 1-3/8 percent.  This loan is
expected to be paid in full upon closing of the sale of the New York System.

         The Partnership has sufficient sources of capital available to meet
its presently anticipated needs from its ability to generate cash from
operations and from borrowings available under its credit facility.

         In addition to the New York System owned by it, the Partnership owns
an 8 percent interest in Joint Fund 11.  This investment is accounted for under
the equity method.  When compared to the December 31, 1994 balance, this
investment has increased by $35,314 from $550,483 at December 31, 1994 to
$585,797 at December 31, 1995.  This increase represents the Partnership's
proportionate share of income generated by Joint Fund 11.  Refer to
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for Joint Fund 11 for details pertaining to its financial condition.

REGULATION AND LEGISLATION

         The Partnership has filed cost-of-service showings in response to
rulemakings concerning the 1992 Cable Act for the New York System and thus
anticipates no further reductions in rates in this system.  The cost-of-service
showings have





                                          16
<PAGE>   17
not yet received final approvals from regulatory authorities, however, and
there can be no assurance that the Partnership's cost-of-service showings will
prevent further rate reductions in this system until such final approvals are
received.

         The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), which became law
on February 8, 1996, substantially revised the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, including the 1984 Cable Act and the 1992 Cable Act, and has been
described as one of the most significant changes in communications regulation
since the original Communications Act of 1934.  The 1996 Act is intended, in
part, to promote substantial competition in the telephone local exchange and in
the delivery of video and other services.  As a result of the 1996 Act, local
telephone companies (also known as local exchange carriers or "LECs") and other
service providers are permitted to provide video programming, and cable
television operators are permitted entry into the telephone local exchange
market.  The FCC is required to conduct rulemaking proceedings over the next
several months to implement various provisions of the 1996 Act.

         Among other provisions, the 1996 Act modified the 1992 Cable Act by
deregulating the cable programming service tier of large cable operators
including the Partnership effective March 31, 1999 and the cable programming
service tier of "small" cable operators in systems providing service to 50,000
or fewer subscribers effective immediately.  The 1996 Act also revised the
procedures for filing cable programming service tier rate complaints and adds a
new effective competition test.

         It is premature to predict the specific effects of the 1996 Act on the
cable industry in general or the Partnership in particular.  The FCC will be
undertaking numerous rulemaking proceedings to interpret and implement the 1996
Act.  It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of those
proceedings or their effect on the Partnership.  See Item 1.


                             CABLE TV JOINT FUND 11

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         1995 compared to 1994

         Revenues in Joint Fund 11's Manitowoc System totaled $3,632,675 in
1995 compared to $3,296,103 in 1994, an increase of $336,572, or approximately
10 percent.  An increase in the subscriber base accounted for approximately 55
percent of the increase in revenues in 1995.  The number of basic subscribers
increased by 602 subscribers, or approximately 6 percent, to 11,436 at December
31, 1995 from 10,834 at December 31, 1994.  The number of premium subscribers
increased by 635 subscriptions, or approximately 9 percent, to 7,726 at
December 31, 1995 from 7,091 at December 31, 1994.  Basic service rate
increases accounted for approximately 14 percent of the increase in revenues.
An increase in advertising sales activity accounted for approximately 22
percent of the increase in revenues.  No other individual factor contributed
significantly to the increase in revenues.

         Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the
administration of the Manitowoc System.  The principal cost components are
salaries paid to system personnel, programming expenses, professional fees,
subscriber billing costs, rent for leased facilities, cable system maintenance
expenses and consumer marketing expenses.

         Operating expenses in the Manitowoc System totaled $2,327,354 in 1995
compared to $2,026,763 in 1994, an increase of $300,591, or approximately 15
percent.  Operating expenses represented approximately 64 percent of revenues
in 1995 compared to approximately 61 percent of revenues in 1994.  The increase
in expenses was primarily due to an increase in programming fees, property tax
expense and advertising sales related expenses.  The increase in advertising
sales related expenses was due, in part, to an increase in advertising sales
activity.  No other individual factor significantly affected the increase in
operating expenses.

         Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner
totaled $463,691 for 1995 compared to $437,558 in 1994, an increase of $26,133,
or approximately 6 percent.  The increase was due to the increase in revenues,
upon which such fees and allocations are based, and increases in allocated
expenses from the General Partner.

         Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $545,237 in 1995
compared to $522,593 in 1994, an increase of $22,644, or approximately 4
percent, due to capital additions in 1995 and 1994.





                                          17
<PAGE>   18
         Operating income totaled $296,393 in 1995 compared to $309,189 in
1994, a decrease of $12,796, or approximately 4 percent.  The decrease was due
to the increases in operating expenses, management fees and allocated overhead
from the General Partner and depreciation and amortization expense exceeding
the increase in revenues.

         The cable television industry generally measures the performance of a
cable television system in terms of cash flow or operating income before
depreciation and amortization.  The value of a cable television system is often
determined using multiples of cash flow.  This measure is not intended to be a
substitute or improvement upon the items disclosed on the financial statements,
rather it is included because it is an industry standard.  Operating income
before depreciation and amortization totaled $841,630 for 1995 compared to
$831,782 in 1994, an increase of $9,848, or approximately 1 percent.  The
increase was due to the increase in revenues exceeding the increases in
operating expenses and management fees and allocated overhead from the General
Partner.

         Interest income totaled $166,280 in 1995 compared to $87,134 in 1994,
an increase of $79,146, or approximately 91 percent.  This increase was due to
higher cash balances and higher interest rates on interest-bearing accounts in
1995.

         Interest expense totaled $10,003 in 1995 compared to $15,716 in 1994,
a decrease of $5,713, or approximately 36 percent.  The decrease was due to
lower outstanding balances on interest bearing obligations in 1995.

         Net income of Joint Fund 11 totaled $453,912 in 1995 compared to
$373,181 in 1994, an increase of $80,731, or approximately 22 percent.  The
increase was due primarily to the increase in interest income.

         1994 compared to 1993

         Revenues in the Manitowoc System totaled $3,296,103 in 1994 compared
to $3,292,675 in 1993, an increase of $3,428, or less than 1 percent.  An
increase in the subscriber base primarily accounted for the increase in
revenues.  Basic service subscribers increased 1,066, or approximately 11
percent, to 10,834 at December 31, 1994 from 9,768 at December 31, 1993.
Premium service subscriptions increased 1,795, or approximately 34 percent, to
7,091 at December 31, 1994 from 5,296 at December 31, 1993.  The increase in
revenues would have been greater but for reductions in basic service rates due
to basic service rate regulations issued by the FCC in May 1993 and February
1994.  No other individual factor was significant to the increase in revenues.

         Operating expenses in the Manitowoc System totaled $2,026,763 in 1994
compared to $1,947,068 in 1993, an increase of $79,695, or approximately 4
percent.  The increase in operating expenses was due primarily to increases in
programming fees and marketing related costs due to increases in basic service
subscribers and premium service subscriptions.  These increases were partially
offset by a decrease in copyright fees.  No other individual factor contributed
significantly to the increase in operating expenses.  Operating expenses
represented approximately 61 percent of revenues in 1994 compared to
approximately 59 percent of revenues in 1993.

         Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner
totaled $437,558 in 1994 compared to $411,577 in 1993, an increase of $25,981,
or approximately 6 percent.   The increase was due to an increase in allocated
expenses from the General Partner.  The General Partner experienced increases
in expenses in 1994.

         Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $522,593 in 1994
compared to $517,441 in 1993, an increase of $5,152, or approximately 1
percent, due to capital additions in 1994 and 1993.

         Operating income in the Manitowoc System totaled $309,189 in 1994
compared to $416,589 in 1993, a decrease of $107,400, or approximately 26
percent.  The decrease was due to the increases in operating expenses,
allocated overhead from the General Partner and depreciation and amortization
expense exceeding the increase in revenues.

         Interest expense for Joint Fund 11 totaled $15,716 in 1994 compared to
$22,912 in 1993, a decrease of $7,196, or approximately 31 percent, due to a
lower outstanding balance on interest bearing obligations.  Other expense
totaled $7,426 in 1994 compared to $248,912 in 1993, primarily as a result of
Joint Fund 11 incurring costs associated with the litigation with the City of
Manitowoc during 1993.  No such costs were incurred in 1994.

         Net income for Joint Fund 11 totaled $373,181 in 1994 compared to
$246,536 in 1993, an increase of $126,645, or approximately 51 percent, due
primarily to the decrease in litigation costs discussed above.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         On September 5, 1995, Joint Fund 11 entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Manitowoc System to the
General Partner for a sales price of $15,735,667, subject to normal working
capital closing adjustments.  This sales price is the average of three separate
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Manitowoc System and the
General Partner's offer was the only bid tendered in a public bidding process
for the Manitowoc System.  The General Partner assigned its rights and
obligations under the asset purchase agreement to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc.
("JCH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner.  The closing of the
sale will occur on a date upon which Joint Fund 11 and JCH mutually agree by
September 30, 1996.  The sale of the Manitowoc System is subject to a number of
conditions, including approval of the transaction by the holders of a majority
of the Partnership's limited partnership interests and approvals from
governmental authorities and other third parties necessary to the transfer of
the Manitowoc System.  If all conditions precedent to JCH's obligation to 
close are not eventually satisfied or waived, JCH's obligation to purchase the 
Manitowoc System will terminate on September 30, 1996.

         In order to sell the Manitowoc System, Joint Fund 11 must obtain the
consent of the City of Manitowoc and third parties with whom Joint Fund 11 has
contracts related to the Manitowoc System, such as pole attachment agreements
or other service agreements, to the transfer thereof.  Joint Fund 11 was
unsuccessful in its efforts to sell the Manitowoc System in June 1990, at the
time of Joint Fund 11's sale of its remaining Wisconsin cable television
systems, due to the refusal of the City of Manitowoc to consent to the transfer
of the system's franchise.  Negotiations with the City of Manitowoc with
respect to the renewal and transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise are
continuing, and the Manitowoc System currently is being operated pursuant to a
temporary extension of the franchise's term until March 29, 1996.  The General
Partner hopes that the City ultimately will agree to the renewal and transfer
of the franchise and that the City will not take any action that will prevent
the closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System, but given the current status 
of negotiations with the City there can be no assurance that the sale will 
occur as planned.

         If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, Joint Fund 11
intends to distribute the sale proceeds, after the repayment of debt, to Cable
TV Fund 11-A, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 11-C, Ltd. and
Cable TV Fund 11-D, Ltd.  Net sales proceeds plus Joint Fund 11's cash on hand,
which are expected to total approximately $18,420,800, will be distributed as
follows:  Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd. will receive approximately $3,356,700; Cable
TV Fund 11-B, Ltd. will receive approximately $1,432,700; Cable TV Fund 11-C,
Ltd. will receive approximately $4,994,100 and Cable TV Fund 11-D, Ltd. will
receive approximately $8,637,300.  After Joint Fund 11 distributes the proceeds
from the sale of the Manitowoc System to its partners, Joint Fund 11 will be
liquidated and dissolved.

         Joint Fund 11 had no bank debt outstanding at December 31, 1995.

         During 1995, Joint Fund 11 expended approximately $311,000 for capital
expenditures in the Manitowoc System.  These expenditures were used for various
projects to maintain the value of the system.  These expenditures were funded
from cash generated from operations.

         Capital expenditures in 1996 for the Manitowoc System will consist of
expenditures necessary to maintain the value of the Manitowoc System until it
is sold.  It is expected that these capital expenditures will be funded from
cash on hand and cash generated from operations.  Joint Fund 11 has sufficient
liquidity and capital resources, including cash on hand and its ability to
generate cash from operations, to meet its anticipated needs.

REGULATION AND LEGISLATION


         The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), which became law
on February 8, 1996, substantially revised the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, including the 1984 Cable Act and the 1992 Cable Act, and has been
described as one of the most significant changes in communications regulation
since the original Communications Act of 1934.  The 1996 Act is intended, in
part, to promote substantial competition in the telephone local exchange and in
the delivery of video and other services.  As a result of the 1996 Act, local
telephone companies (also known as local exchange carriers or "LECs") and other
service providers are permitted to provide video programming, and cable
television operators are permitted entry into the telephone local exchange
market.  The FCC is required to conduct rulemaking proceedings over the next
several months to implement various provisions of the 1996 Act.





                                          19
<PAGE>   20
         Among other provisions, the 1996 Act modified the 1992 Cable Act by
deregulating the cable programming service tier of large cable operators
including Joint Fund 11 effective March 31, 1999 and the cable programming
service tier of "small" cable operators in systems providing service to 50,000
or fewer subscribers effective immediately.  The 1996 Act also revised the
procedures for filing cable programming service tier rate complaints and adds a
new effective competition test.

         It is premature to predict the specific effects of the 1996 Act on the
cable industry in general or Joint Fund 11 in particular.  The FCC will be
undertaking numerous rulemaking proceedings to interpret and implement the 1996
Act.  It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of those
proceedings or their effect on Joint Fund 11.  See Item 1.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd.:

         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CABLE TV FUND 11-B,
LTD. (a Colorado limited partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the General Partner's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cable TV Fund 11-B,
Ltd. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                            (A Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS

         Formation and Business

         Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Colorado limited
partnership, was formed on June 17, 1983, under a public program sponsored by
Jones Intercable, Inc.  The Partnership was formed to acquire, construct,
develop and operate cable television systems.  Jones Intercable, Inc.
("Intercable"), a publicly held Colorado corporation, is the "General Partner"
and manager of the Partnership.  Intercable and its subsidiaries also own and
operate cable television systems.  In addition, Intercable manages cable
television systems for other limited partnerships for which it is general
partner and, also, for affiliated entities.

         The Partnership owns and operates the cable television system serving
the municipalities of Lancaster, Lockport and Orchard Park, New York (the "New
York System").  In addition to the New York System, the Partnership owns an 8
percent interest in Cable TV Joint Fund 11 ("Joint Fund 11") through capital
contributions made during 1984 of $3,500,000.  Joint Fund 11 owns and operates
the cable television system serving the city of Manitowoc, Wisconsin (the
"Manitowoc System").

         Proposed Sales of Cable Television Systems

         On October 6, 1995, the Partnership entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the New York System to an
unaffiliated cable television system operator for a sales price of $84,000,000.
This transaction was approved by a majority of the Partnership's limited
partnership interests in a vote conducted during the first quarter of 1996.
The closing of the sale of the New York System is subject to the successful
transfer of the New York System's franchises.  Closing of this sale is expected
to occur on or about April 1, 1996.

         Upon consummation of the proposed sale of the New York System, the
Partnership will pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled approximately
$23,808,000 at December 31, 1995, its sales tax liability of approximately
$1,750,000 and a brokerage fee of $2,100,000 to The Jones Group, Ltd., a
subsidiary of the General Partner, and then the Partnership will distribute the
approximate $56,047,500 net proceeds to its partners of record as of February
29, 1996.  Because limited partners have already received distributions in an
amount equal to 100 percent of the capital initially contributed to the
Partnership by the limited partners, the net proceeds from the New York
System's sale will be distributed 75 percent to the limited partners and 25
percent to the General Partner.  Based upon the pro forma financial information
as of December 31, 1995, as a result of the New York System's sale, the limited
partners of the Partnership, as a group, will receive approximately $42,035,600
and the General Partner will receive approximately $14,011,900.  Limited
partners will receive $1,105 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or
$2,211 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, from the net proceeds of
the New York System's sale.  Once the distribution of the net proceeds from the
sale of the New York System has been made, limited partners will have received
a total of $1,605 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $3,211 for
each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, taking into account distributions to
limited partners made in July 1990 and July 1992.  The Partnership will
continue to own its 8 percent interest in the Venture until the Manitowoc
System also is sold.  Upon the closing of the sale of the Partnership's New
York System and the Venture's Manitowoc System, the Partnership will be
liquidated and dissolved.

         On September 5, 1995, Joint Fund 11 entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Manitowoc System to the
General Partner for a sales price of $15,735,667, subject to normal working
capital closing adjustments.  The closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System
is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the holders of
a majority of the limited partnership interests in each of the four
partnerships that comprise Joint Fund 11 in votes to be conducted in 1996 and
the successful renewal and transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise.

         If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, Joint Fund 11
will pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled $55,175 at December 1995,
including $45,258 owed to the General Partner, and then the net sales proceeds
plus cash on hand will be distributed to Joint Fund 11's partners in proportion 
to their ownership interests in Joint Fund 11.  The Partnership





                                         28
<PAGE>   29
accordingly will receive 8 percent of such proceeds, estimated to total
approximately $1,432,700. Because limited partners will have already received
distributions in an amount in excess of the capital initially contributed to
the Partnership by the limited partners, the Partnership's portion of the net
proceeds from the Manitowoc System's sale will be distributed 75 percent to the
limited partners and 25 percent to the General Partner.  Based upon pro forma
financial information as of December 31, 1995, as a result of the Manitowoc
System's sale, the limited partners of the Partnership, as a group, will
receive approximately $1,074,500 and the General Partner will receive
approximately $358,200.  As a result, it is anticipated that the limited 
partners will receive approximately $28 for each $500 limited partnership 
interest, or approximately $57 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, 
from the Partnership's portion of the net proceeds of the Manitowoc System's 
sale.  After the Partnership distributes its portion of the proceeds from the 
sale of the Manitowoc System to its partners, the Partnership will be 
dissolved and liquidated.

         Contributed Capital

         The capitalization of the Partnership is set forth in the accompanying
statements of partners' capital.  No limited partner is obligated to make any
additional contribution to partnership capital.

         Intercable purchased its interest in the Partnership by contributing
$1,000 to partnership capital.

         All profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated 99 percent to
the limited partners and 1 percent to Intercable, except for income or gain
from the sale or disposition of cable television properties, which will be
allocated to the partners based upon the formula set forth in the partnership
agreement and interest income earned prior to the first acquisition by the
Partnership of a cable television system, which was allocated 100 percent to
the limited partners.

(2)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Accounting Records

         The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.  The Partnership's tax returns are also prepared on the accrual
basis.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner's management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Investment in Cable Television Joint Venture

         The Partnership's investment in Joint Fund 11 is accounted for under
the equity method due to the Partnership's influence on Joint Fund 11 as a
general partner.  When compared to the December 31, 1994 balance, this
investment has increased by $35,314.  This increase represents the
Partnership's proportionate share of income generated by Joint Fund 11 during
1995.  The operations of Joint Fund 11 are significant to the Partnership and
should be reviewed in conjunction with these financial statements.  Reference
is made to the accompanying financial statements of Joint Fund 11 on pages 35
to 43.

         Property, Plant and Equipment

         Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided using the
straight-line method over the following estimated service lives:

<TABLE>
         <S>                                     <C>

         Equipment and tools                      3- 5 years
         Buildings                               10-31 years

         Replacements, renewals and improvements are capitalized and 
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

         Allocation of Cost of Purchased Cable Television Systems

         The Partnership allocated the total contract purchase price of cable
television systems acquired as follows:  first, to the fair value of net
tangible assets acquired; second, to the value of subscriber lists; and third,
to franchise costs.  Brokerage fees paid to an affiliate of Intercable and
other system acquisition costs were capitalized and charged to distribution
systems.

         Revenue Recognition

         Subscriber prepayments are initially deferred and recognized as
revenue when earned.

         Reclassification

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1995 presentation.

(3)      TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES

         Management Fees, Distribution Ratios and Reimbursement

         Intercable manages the Partnership and receives a fee for its services
equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues of the Partnership, excluding revenues
from the sale of cable television systems or franchises.  For the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 management fees paid to Intercable, excluding
the Partnership's 8 percent interest in Joint Fund 11, were $718,318, $639,592,
and $596,115, respectively.

         Any partnership distributions made from cash flow (defined as cash
receipts derived from routine operations, less debt principal and interest
payments and cash expenses) are allocated 99 percent to the limited partners
and 1 percent to Intercable.  Any distributions other than interest income on
limited partner subscriptions earned prior to the acquisition of the
Partnership's first cable television system or from cash flow, such as from the
sale or refinancing of the system or upon dissolution of the Partnership, will
be made as follows:  first, to the limited partners in an amount which,
together with all prior distributions, will equal the amount initially
contributed to the Partnership capital by the limited partners; the balance, 75
percent to the limited partners and 25 percent to Intercable.  In July 1990,
$9,153,740 of the limited partners' initial capital contributions was
distributed to the limited partners from funds received from Joint Fund 11.  In
July 1992, the remaining amount of limited partners' initial capital
($9,859,381) was distributed to the limited partners from funds received from
the sale of the Grand Island System.  Any future distributions will be made 75
percent to the limited partners and 25 percent to Intercable.

         The Partnership reimburses Intercable for certain allocated overhead
and administrative expenses.  These expenses represent the salaries and related
benefits paid to corporate personnel, rent, data processing services and other
corporate facilities costs.  Such personnel provide engineering, marketing,
administrative, accounting, legal and investor relations services to the
Partnership.  These reimbursements are limited to 25 percent of the gross
revenues of the Partnership.  Allocations of personnel costs are primarily
based upon actual time spent by employees of Intercable with respect to each
partnership managed.  Remaining expenses are allocated based on the pro rata
relationship of the Partnership's revenues to the total revenues of all systems
owned or managed by the General Partner and certain of its subsidiaries.
Systems owned by Intercable and all other systems owned by partnerships for
which Intercable is the general partner are also allocated a proportionate
share of these expenses.  The General Partner believes that the methodology
used in allocating overhead and administrative expenses is reasonable.
Reimbursements by the Partnership to the General Partner for allocated overhead
and administrative expenses, excluding the Partnership's 8 percent interest in
Joint Fund 11, were $1,037,281, $989,586 and $824,911 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

         The Partnership was charged interest during 1995 at an average
interest rate of 10.51 percent on amounts due Intercable, which approximated
Intercable's weighted average cost of borrowings.  Total interest charged by
the General Partner to the Partnership was $13,980,  $14,287 and $13,350 in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

         Payments to/from Affiliates for Programming Services

         The Partnership receives programming from Superaudio, Mind Extension
University, Jones Computer Network and Product Information Network, all of
which are affiliates of Intercable.

         Payments to Superaudio totaled approximately $21,712, $21,977 and
$21,590 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Payments to Mind Extension
University totaled approximately $23,227, $19,914 and $12,565 in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.  Payments to Jones Computer Network, which initiated
service in 1994, totaled $46,392 and $-0- in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         The Partnership receives a commission from Product Information Network
based on a percentage of advertising revenue and number of subscribers.
Product Information Network, which initiated service in 1994, paid commissions
to the Partnership totaling $38,629 and $186 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

</TABLE>

         On February 28, 1995, the Partnership entered into a $25,000,000
revolving credit and term loan agreement.  The revolving credit period expires
January 1, 1997, at which time the outstanding balance converts to a term loan
payable in 24 consecutive quarterly installments commencing March 31, 1997.
Proceeds from this credit facility were used to repay amounts outstanding under
the Partnership's previous credit facility, repay amounts due the General
Partner and fund capital expenditures.  As of December 31, 1995, $23,600,000
was outstanding under this agreement, leaving $1,400,000 available for future
needs of the Partnership.  Interest payable on outstanding amounts is at the
Partnership's option of the Base Rate plus 1/2 percent or the London InterBank
Offered Rate plus 1-3/8 percent.  The effective interest rates on outstanding
obligations as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 7.03 percent and 6.77
percent, respectively.  This loan is expected to be paid in full upon closing
of the sale of the New York System.





                                          31
<PAGE>   32
         Installments due on debt principal for each of the five years in the
period ending December 31, 2000 and thereafter, $62,355, $2,894,355,
$3,602,355, $3,796,784, $4,248,000 and $9,204,000.  Substantially all of the 
Partnership's property, plant and equipment are pledged as security for the 
above indebtedness.

         At December 31, 1995, the carrying amount of the Partnership's
long-term debt did not differ significantly from the estimated fair value of
the financial instruments.  The fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt
is estimated based on the discounted amount of future debt service payments
using rates of borrowing for a liability of similar risk.

(6)      INCOME TAXES

         Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements because they accrue directly to the partners.  The Federal and state
income tax returns of the Partnership are prepared and filed by Intercable.

         The Partnership's tax returns, the qualification of the Partnership as
such for tax purposes, and the amount of distributable income or loss are
subject to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities.  If such
examinations result in changes with respect to the Partnership's qualification
as such, or in changes with respect to the Partnership's recorded income or
loss, the tax liability of the general and limited partners would likely be
changed accordingly.

         Taxable income reported to the partners is different from that
reported in the statements of operations due to the difference in depreciation
allowed under generally accepted accounting principles and the expense allowed
for tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).
There are no other significant differences between taxable income or losses and
the net income or losses reported in the statements of operations.

(7)      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Partnership has filed cost-of-service showings in response to
rulemakings concerning the 1992 Cable Act for the New York System and thus
anticipates no further reductions in rates in this system.  The cost-of-service
showings have not yet received final approvals from regulatory authorities,
however, and there can be no assurance that the Partnership's cost-of-service
showings will prevent further rate reductions in this system until such final
approvals are received.

         The Partnership rents office and other facilities under various
long-term lease arrangements.  Rent expense paid under such lease arrangements
totaled $9,145, $16,093 and $31,480, respectively, for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.  Minimum commitments under operating leases for the
five years in the period ending December 31, 2000 and thereafter are as
follows:

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of Cable TV Joint Fund 11:

         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CABLE TV JOINT FUND
11 (a Colorado general partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the General Partners' management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cable TV Joint Fund
11 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                             CABLE TV JOINT FUND 11
                            (A General Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS

         Formation and Business

         Cable TV Joint Fund 11 ("Joint Fund 11"), a Colorado general
partnership, was formed on February 1, 1984, through a joint venture agreement
made by and among Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd. ("Fund 11-A"), Cable TV Fund 11-B,
Ltd. ("Fund 11-B"), Cable TV Fund 11-C, Ltd. ("Fund 11-C") and Cable TV Fund
11-D, Ltd ("Fund 11-D"), all Colorado limited partnerships (the "Joint Venture
Partners").  Joint Fund 11 was formed to acquire, construct, develop and
operate cable television systems.  Joint Fund 11 owns and operates the cable
television system serving the areas in and around the city of Manitowoc,
Wisconsin (the "Manitowoc System").  Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Intercable"), who
is the "General Partner" of each of the Joint Venture Partners, manages Joint
Fund 11.  Intercable and its subsidiaries also own and operate other cable
television systems.  In addition, Intercable manages cable television systems
for other limited partnerships for which it is general partner and, also, for
affiliated entities.

         Proposed Sale of Cable Television System

         On September 5, 1995, Joint Fund 11 entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Manitowoc System to the
General Partner for a sales price of $15,735,667, subject to normal working
capital closing adjustments.  This sales price is the average of three separate
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Manitowoc System and the
General Partner's offer was the only bid tendered in a public bidding process
for the Manitowoc System.  The General Partner assigned its rights and
obligations under the asset purchase agreement to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc.
("JCH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner.  The closing of the
sale will occur on a date upon which Joint Fund 11 and JCH mutually agree by
September 30, 1996.  The sale of the Manitowoc System is subject to a number of
conditions, including approval of the transaction by the holders of a majority
of the Partnership's limited partnership interests and approvals from
governmental authorities and other third parties necessary to the transfer of
the Manitowoc System.  If all conditions precedent to JCH's obligation to 
close are not eventually satisfied or waived, JCH's obligation to purchase the 
Manitowoc System will terminate on September 30, 1996.

         In order to sell the Manitowoc System, Joint Fund 11 must obtain the
consent of the City of Manitowoc and third parties with whom Joint Fund 11 has
contracts related to the Manitowoc System, such as pole attachment agreements
or other service agreements, to the transfer thereof.  Joint Fund 11 was
unsuccessful in its efforts to sell the Manitowoc System in June 1990, at the
time of Joint Fund 11's sale of its remaining Wisconsin cable television
systems, due to the refusal of the City of Manitowoc to consent to the transfer
of the system's franchise.  Negotiations with the City of Manitowoc with
respect to the renewal and transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise are
continuing, and the Manitowoc System currently is being operated pursuant to a
temporary extension of the franchise's term until March 29, 1996.  The General
Partner hopes that the City ultimately will agree to the renewal and transfer
of the franchise and that the City will not take any action that will prevent
the closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System, but given the current status 
of negotiations with the City there can be no assurance that the sale will 
occur as planned.

         If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, Joint Fund 11
will pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled $55,175 at December 1995,
including $45,258 owed to the General Partner, and then the net sales proceeds
plus cash on hand will be distributed to the Joint Venture Partners in
proportion to their ownership interests in Joint Fund 11.  The net sales
proceeds will be distributed as follows:  Fund 11-A will receive approximately
$3,356,700; Fund 11-B will receive approximately $1,432,700; Fund 11-C will
receive approximately $4,994,100 and Fund 11-D will receive approximately
$8,637,300.

         Contributed Capital, Sharing Ratios and Distribution

         The capitalization of Joint Fund 11 is set forth in the accompanying
statements of partners' capital.  Profits and losses of Joint Fund 11 are
allocated to the partners in proportion to their respective partnership
interests.





                                          40

         All partnership distributions, including those made from cash flow
(defined as cash receipts derived from routine operations, less debt principal
and interest payments and cash expenses), from the sale or refinancing of
partnership property and on dissolution of Joint Fund 11, are made to the
partners also in proportion to their approximate respective interests in Joint
Fund 11 as follows:

(2)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Accounting Records

         The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Joint Fund 11's tax returns are also prepared on the accrual
basis.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner's management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Property, Plant and Equipment

         Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the
following estimated service lives:


<TABLE>
         <S>                                   <C>
         Cable distribution systems            5-15 years
         Equipment and tools                    3-5 years
         Buildings                               20 years
         Office furniture and equipment           5 years
         Vehicles                                 3 years
</TABLE>

         Replacements, renewals and improvements are capitalized and
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

         Intangible Assets

         Costs assigned to franchises and subscriber lists were amortized using
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

         Revenue Recognition

         Subscriber prepayments are initially deferred and recognized as
revenue when earned.

(3)      TRANSACTIONS WITH JONES INTERCABLE, INC. AND AFFILIATES

         Management Fees and Reimbursements

         Intercable manages Joint Fund 11 and receives a fee for its services
equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues, excluding revenues from the sale of
the cable television systems or franchises.  Management fees paid to Intercable
during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $181,634, $164,805 and $164,634, respectively.

         Intercable is reimbursed for certain allocated overhead and
administrative expenses.  These expenses represent the salaries and related
benefits paid to corporate personnel, rent, data processing services and other
corporate facilities costs.





                                         41
<PAGE>   42
Such personnel provide engineering, marketing, administrative, accounting,
legal and investor relations services to Joint Fund 11.  Allocations of
personnel costs are primarily based upon actual time spent by employees of
Intercable with respect to each partnership managed.  Remaining expenses are
allocated based on the pro rata relationship of the Partnership's revenues to
the total revenues of all systems owned or managed by Intercable and certain of
its subsidiaries.  Systems owned by Intercable and all other systems owned by
partnerships for which Intercable is the general partner are also allocated a
proportionate share of these expenses.  Intercable believes that the
methodology used in allocating overhead and administrative expenses is
reasonable.  The amount of allocated overhead and administrative expenses
charged to Joint Fund 11 during 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $282,057, $272,753 and
$246,943, respectively.

         Joint Fund 11 was charged interest during 1995 at an average interest
rate of 10.5 percent on the amounts due Intercable, which approximated
Intercable's weighted average cost of borrowings.  Total interest charged
during 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $6,848, $13,306 and $21,071, respectively.

         Payments to/from Affiliates for Programming Services

         Joint Fund 11 receives programming from Superaudio, Mind Extension
University, Jones Computer Network and Product Information Network, all of
which are affiliates of Intercable.

         Payments to Superaudio totaled $6,318, $6,105 and $6,040 in 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.  Payments to Mind Extension University totaled $6,759,
$5,532 and $3,515 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Payments to Jones
Computer Network, which initiated service in 1994, totaled $12,760 and $3,316

(6)      INCOME TAXES

         Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements because they accrue to the partners of Funds 11-A, 11-B, 11-C and
11-D, which are general partners in Joint Fund 11.

         Joint Fund 11's tax returns, the qualification of the Partnership as
such for tax purposes, and the amount of distributable partnership income or
loss are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.  If
such examinations result in changes with respect to the Joint





                                         42
<PAGE>   43
Fund 11's qualification as such, or in changes with respect to Joint Fund 11's
recorded income or loss, the tax liability of the general and limited partners
would likely be changed accordingly.

         Taxable income reported to the partners is different from that
reported in the statements of operations due to the difference in depreciation
allowed under generally accepted accounting principles and the expense allowed
for tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).
There are no other significant differences between taxable income and the net
income reported in the statements of operations.

of such transactions have been or will be as favorable as those that could have
been obtained by the Partnership or the Venture from unaffiliated parties.

     The General Partner charges a management fee, and the General Partner is
reimbursed for certain allocated overhead and administrative expenses. These
expenses represent the salaries and benefits paid to corporate personnel, rent,
data processing services and other corporate facilities costs. Such personnel
provide engineering, marketing, administrative, accounting, legal and investor
relations services to the Partnership and the Venture. Allocations of personnel
costs are based primarily on actual time spent by employees of the General
Partner with respect to each partnership managed. Remaining expenses are
allocated based on the pro rata relationship of the Partnership's revenues to
the total revenues of all systems owned or managed by the General Partner and
certain of its subsidiaries. Systems owned by the General Partner and all other
systems owned by partnerships for which Jones Intercable, Inc. is the general
partner, are also allocated a proportionate share of these expenses.

     The General Partner also advances funds and charges interest on the balance
payable. The interest rate charged approximates the General Partner's weighted
average cost of borrowing.

     The Systems receive stereo audio programming from Superaudio, a joint
venture owned 50% by an affiliate of the General Partner and 50% by an
unaffiliated party, educational video programming from Mind Extension
University, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, and computer video
programming from Jones Computer Network, Ltd., an affiliate of the General
Partner, for fees based upon the number of subscribers receiving the
programming.

     Product Information Network ("PIN"), an affiliate of the General Partner,
provides advertising time for third parties on the Systems. In consideration,
the revenues generated from the third parties are shared between PIN and the
Partnership and the Venture. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the
Partnership received revenues from PIN of $38,629, and the Venture received
revenues from PIN of $4,559.

2.   CLOSING DATE: PURCHASE PRICE, PAYMENT AND ADJUSTMENTS.

         2.01    Closing Date and Location.

         The consummation of the transfer and delivery of the Assets to be
Acquired to Buyer and the receipt of the consideration therefor by Seller shall
constitute the "Closing." Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties,
the Closing shall take place at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of Jones

be sooner than ten (10) business days after each party's receipt of such
Closing Notice, and after all of the conditions to Closing set forth in
Sections 6 and 7 have been satisfied or waived, whichever shall later occur,
which specified date and time shall constitute the "Closing Date." Either Buyer
or Seller may deliver notice in writing to the other parties hereto setting a
Closing Date in accordance with this Section 2.01 (a "Closing Notice"). The
effective date of the sale of the Acquired Systems shall be at the close of
business on the Closing Date and all prorations and allocations provided for
hereunder shall be made as of the close of business on the Closing Date, except
as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Agreement may be terminated pursuant to Section 12 hereof if the Closing
has not occurred by September 30, 1996.

         2.02    Purchase Price.

         Buyer shall acquire and accept the Assets to be Acquired from Seller
and shall pay to Seller the aggregate amount of Eighty-Four Million Dollars
($84,000,000) for the Assets to be Acquired (the "Purchase Price"), subject to
adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.05.

         2.03    Payment of the Purchase Price.

         On the Closing Date, Buyer will pay to Seller an amount equal to the
Purchase Price as adjusted at Closing pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.05 in immediately available funds by wire transfer.

         2.04    Allocation of Purchase Price.

         The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Assets to be Acquired
based upon an appraisal to be obtained prior to the Closing. The parties agree
to engage Kane Reece Associates, Inc. ("KRA") or, if unavailable,
Malarky-Taylor Associates, to prepare such appraisal, and agree to share
equally the costs of the appraisal. The parties shall cause the appraiser to
consult with Buyer and Seller during the preparation of such appraisal, and the
appraiser shall deliver the final appraisal to Buyer and Seller
simultaneously. Buyer and Seller agree to be bound by such allocation and to
file all returns and reports in respect of the

         3.09    Other Contracts and Leases.

         Schedule 3.09 lists each existing contract, agreement, lease, permit,

Systems (the "Agreements") other than the Excluded Assets; the Franchises; the

relating to the Acquired Systems not involving either aggregate liabilities
under all such agreements exceeding $25,000 or any material nonmonetary
obligation; and programming agreements. Each of the Agreements is in full force
and effect in accordance with its terms. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Acquired Systems and all equipment and real property used in connection
therewith are now being utilized, operated and maintained in conformity in all
material respects with the provisions of the Agreements. Seller has not in any
manner failed to so utilize, operate and maintain the Acquired Systems in a
manner which could now or hereafter result in cancellation or termination of,
or liability for damages under, the Agreements, nor is Seller in default in any
material respect in the performance of one or more of its obligations pursuant
to the Agreements.

         3.10    Agreements with Employees.

                 (a)      Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, Seller is not
a party to any employment agreement, written or oral, which cannot be

litigation, at law or in equity, or any proceedings before any commission,
agency or other governmental authority, pending or, to Seller's knowledge,
after due inquiry, threatened against Seller or the Acquired Systems, and, to
Seller's knowledge, after due inquiry, no facts or circumstances exist which
could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such litigation or
proceedings.

         3.12    Tax Returns and Payments.

         With respect to the Acquired Systems, Seller has timely and properly
filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which it is or has been required to
file on or prior to the date hereof by any jurisdiction to which it is or has
been subject, all such tax returns being true, correct and complete in all
material respects. All income, unemployment, social security, franchise,
property and other taxes levied, assessed or imposed upon Seller or the
Acquired Systems by the United States, or any state, or governmental
sub-division of either, to the extent due and payable and not contested by
Seller, have been timely and properly paid to date, and no liability exists for
deficiencies. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12 attached hereto, there are no
tax audits pending nor any outstanding agreements or waivers extending the
statutory period of limitations applicable to any federal, state or local
income tax return of Seller for any period. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.12, to Seller's knowledge, after due inquiry, no tax deficiencies have been
determined, nor proposed tax assessments charged, against Seller (nor is there
any reasonable basis therefor). Seller has made or caused to be made all
withholdings of taxes required to be made, and such withholdings have either
been paid to the appropriate governmental agency or set aside in appropriate
accounts for such purpose. True, correct and complete copies of the federal,
state and local tax returns of Seller for the Acquired Systems for all income,
gross receipts, franchise and property taxes for the last three (3) fiscal
years have been delivered to Buyer.

         3.13    Compliance with Laws.

         Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable
foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs,
injunctions, ordinances or decrees of any governing authority, federal, state
or local court, or of any municipal or governmental department, commission,
board, bureau, agency or municipality having jurisdiction over it or the
Acquired Systems.

         3.14    Adverse Developments.

         Since June 30, 1995, (i) no material adverse change has occurred with
respect to the Acquired Systems or their financial conditions or operations,
taken as a whole, other than any change arising out of events or conditions
that affect the CATV industry generally, and (ii) there has been no material
damage, destruction, loss or other casualty to the Assets to be Acquired, taken
as a whole, that has not been repaired or replaced.

         3.15    Condition of Assets to be Acquired and Insurance.

         The Acquired Systems, both as integrated systems and in their
respective component parts, are operated and maintained in a proper manner; are
free from any material (either individually or in the aggregate) defects of
workmanship or material in light of its age and the use to which it has been
put; and meet in all material respects the requirements of: (i) the
Franchises, (ii) the Pole Attachment Agreements, (iii) the Agreements, and (iv)
all applicable




                                     -18-
<PAGE>   13
technical standards, rules, regulations and orders of federal, state and local
governing or regulatory authorities. The Assets to be Acquired are all in good
operating condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. None of the cable used
in the Acquired Systems requires any rearrangement or rehabilitation other than
routine system maintenance. The Assets to be Acquired include such spare parts
as are necessary in order to permit the operation of the Acquired Systems
without material interruption for a thirty-day period. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.15, the Assets to be Acquired are and have been insured, and all
such insurance policies are in full force and effect, are on an "occurrence"
basis, and are in terms and scope and amounts which are customary in accordance
with industry standards for CATV systems of comparable size. Seller has not
received any notice of cancellation with respect to such policies. During the
past three (3) years, no application by Seller for insurance with respect to
the Assets to be Acquired has been denied for any reason. Seller has provided
Buyer with copies of the loss claims history of Seller for the past three (3)
years.

         3.16    Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights.

         The operation of the Acquired Systems by Seller does not infringe
upon, or otherwise violate, the rights of any person or entity in any
copyright, trade name, trademark right, service mark, service name, patent,
patent right, license, trade secret or franchise, and there is not pending or,
to Seller's knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened any action with respect to
any such infringement or breach.

         3.17    Labor Relations.

         Except as set forth on Schedule 3,17, the employees of Seller are not
parties to any collective bargaining agreement. This Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereunder shall not obligate Buyer to recognize any
union or to assume any collective bargaining agreement that applies to Seller's
employees. There currently are not, nor in the past five years have there been,
any grievances, unfair labor practice claims, disputes or controversies with
any union, or threats of strikes, work stoppages or any pending demands for
collective bargaining by any union. Seller has received no notice of any
grievances, unfair labor practice claims, disputes or controversies with any
other organization of Seller's employees, or threats of strikes, work stoppages
or any pending demands for collective bargaining by any such organization.

         3.18    Restoration.

         No material restoration, repaving, repair or other work is required to
be made by Seller to any street, sidewalk or abutting or adjacent area pursuant
to the requirements of any ordinance, code, permit, easement or contract
relating to the installation, construction or operation of the Acquired
Systems. No property of any person or entity has been damaged, destroyed,
disturbed or removed in the process of construction or maintenance of the
Acquired Systems which has not been, or will not be, prior to Closing,
repaired, restored or replaced, or, if not repaired, restored or replaced, for
which an adequate reserve has not been accrued by the Seller prior to Closing.

         Seller shall continue to operate the Acquired Systems, shall maintain
the Assets to be Acquired (including the maintaining of a level of inventory of
spare equipment and parts which is adequate for the continued operation of the
Acquired Systems for a thirty-day period) and shall keep all of its business
books, records and files, all in the ordinary course of business in accordance
with past practices consistently applied and in accordance with the capital
budget and operating budget delivered by Seller to Buyer; provided, however,
that Seller shall have the right to make payment in full of all outstanding
obligations under the Lancaster Capital Lease Agreement in order to obtain
unencumbered fee simple title to the real property subject to such

<PAGE>   17
lease in anticipation of transferring such real property to Buyer at Closing in
the event Seller is unable to obtain consent to the assignment of the Lancaster
Capital Lease Agreement. Seller shall not sell, transfer or assign any assets
except in the ordinary course of business and for full and fair value. Seller
shall not permit the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance on any of its
assets that would survive the Closing other than the lien of current taxes not
yet due and payable. Seller shall not initiate or otherwise cause any other
person to initiate any action to amend or cancel, nor permit any other person
to take any action to amend or cancel, any of the Franchises, the Pole
Attachment Agreements or the Agreements without the prior written consent of
Buyer; provided, however, that Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to renew
any Franchises currently held under temporary operating authority as disclosed
on Schedule 3.06.  Promptly after becoming aware thereof, Seller shall notify
Buyer of any action taken or proposed to be taken by a person other than Seller
to amend or cancel any of the Franchises, the Pole Attachment Agreements or the
Agreements. Seller shall not enter into any contract or commitment nor incur any
indebtedness or other liability or obligation of any kind relating to the
Acquired Systems which is not in the ordinary course of business in accordance
with past practices without the prior written consent of Buyer. Seller shall
not permit any of its partners, officers, directors, shareholders, agents,
employees or affiliates to pay any of Seller's accounts receivable from
subscribers outstanding on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
persons shall be permitted to make payment for CATV services received by them
at their own dwellings. Without the prior written consent of Buyer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Seller
shall not, except as otherwise required by law: change the channel lineup of
the Acquired Systems; add additional channels to the Acquired Systems, except
for channels added at the request of a franchising authority as part of the
process of renewing a Franchise (in which event, Seller shall give Buyer
written notice of the addition of such channels); change its subscriber rates
(provided, however, that if Seller is required to change its subscriber rates
pursuant to a regulatory order, Seller may do so without the consent of Buyer
upon 30 days' prior written notice); or conduct any extraordinary or unusual
marketing or collection programs, including, without limitation, any amnesty
programs, or any extraordinary collection practices which might adversely
affect customer relationships. Seller shall comply with all laws, rules and
regulations of federal, state, city and local governments. Seller shall not
violate the terms of any lease or contract connected with the operation of the
Acquired Systems or with the utilization of the Assets to be Acquired. Seller
shall not grant any increase in the rate of wages, salaries, bonuses or other
remuneration of any employee, except in accordance with past practices, and
provided that Seller may incent employees to remain employees of the Acquired
Systems through the Closing Date without violating this covenant.

         5.02    Insurance.

         Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in full
force and effect until Closing all existing insurance policies to cover and
protect the Assets to be Acquired against damage or destruction.

         5.03    Organization

         Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with sound
business judgment to preserve intact its present business and organization, to

with subscribers, suppliers and others having business relationships with it
and to maintain the goodwill enjoyed within the municipalities serviced by the
Acquired Systems.

         5.04    Access for Investigation.

         Seller shall afford Buyer and its representatives access during normal
business hours to the properties, plant and equipment and to the books and
records of Seller in order that Buyer shall have full opportunity to
investigate the business affairs of Seller.

         5.05    Notice.

                 (a)      Promptly upon Seller becoming aware of the occurrence
of, or the impending or threatened occurrence of, any event which would cause
any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained herein, or in any
Schedule or Exhibit, to be inaccurate in any material respect, Seller shall
give detailed written notice thereof to Buyer and shall use its best efforts to
prevent or promptly remedy the same.

                 (b)      Seller shall refrain from knowingly taking, and shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to refrain from knowingly suffering or
permitting, any action which would render untrue any of the representations or
warranties of Seller contained herein, and Seller shall not knowingly omit to
take any action reasonably required to maintain the goodwill enjoyed within the
municipalities serviced by the Acquired Systems in the ordinary course of
business, consistent with past practice.

         5.06    Consummation of Agreement.

         Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform and

fulfilled under this Agreement, to the end that the transactions contemplated

         Seller shall cooperate, to the extent not inconsistent with its
obligations hereunder, as Buyer may reasonably request, in apprising the
municipalities serviced by the Acquired Systems and the utility companies which

to Buyer in such manner as to preserve the goodwill of such municipalities and
utility companies.

persons to whom Seller makes recurring periodic payments in connection with the
business and operations of the Acquired Systems (the "Accounts List"), except
for persons to whom Seller makes recurring periodic payments in connection with
any Excluded Asset. Each individual entry set forth on the Accounts List shall
list the name and address of each account creditor and the approximate average
amount and approximate frequency of the recurring periodic payments paid to
each such account creditor. Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure
the accuracy and completeness of the Accounts List.

         5.09    FCC Approval.

         Seller shall make application to the FCC for the consent and approval
of the FCC to the transfer of the ownership and operation of any FCC licenses

approval is required to be obtained.

         5.10    Certificates.

         On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer:

         Except for fees relating to filings required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act, the costs of which shall be shared equally by Buyer
and Seller, Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain prior to Closing all consents and approvals from
third parties which are identified on Schedule 3.02; provided, however, that
the costs and expenses associated with the performance after the Closing Date
of obligations which are required by a third party as a condition of granting
its consent or approval and which obligations are accepted by the Buyer shall
be borne solely by the Buyer. All such consents shall be in writing and in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. In the event that Buyer's
cooperation is required to obtain such consents, Buyer shall reasonably
cooperate with Seller and shall be responsible for its own out-of-pocket costs
in connection therewith.

         5.12    Approval of Franchise Authorities.

         Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
consent of the applicable franchisors to the transfer to Buyer of all of the
Franchises. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a
certificate from each franchisor certifying that:  (a) the Franchise was
properly granted; (b) the Franchise was properly extended (if applicable);




                                     -25-

(c) the Franchise is in accordance with all state and local laws; (d) the
Franchise is validly existing and in full force and effect; (e) there exists no
fact or circumstance which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both, would constitute a default under the Franchise, or permit the franchisor
to cancel or terminate the rights thereunder, except upon the expiration of the
full term thereof; and (f) the Franchise may be collaterally assigned to
Buyer's lenders. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
the approval of the New York State Cable Commission to the transfer of the
Acquired Systems to Buyer, with no adverse conditions imposed on such transfer
by the Commission. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in Seller's
efforts to secure such approvals and consents, including attending such
meetings and providing such information with respect to Buyer as the
franchisors or New York State Cable Commission may reasonably request. Buyer
shall post any bond or other security reasonably required pursuant to the terms
of such approvals and consents.

         5.13    FCC and Other Regulatory Compliance.

         Seller shall consult with Buyer prior to implementing any subscriber
rate changes relating to the implementation of any FCC regulations, except as
otherwise provided in Section 5.01 hereof.

         5.14    Approval of Lessors.

         Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
consent of each lessor of real property relating to the Acquired Systems listed

effect; and (b) all payments under the lease due and payable prior to the date
of such certificate have been paid in full.

         5.15    Employees.

         Seller shall terminate all of its employees immediately prior to
Closing. Seller shall remain solely responsible for any termination benefits to
which any of the employees is entitled by reason of such termination whether or
not such person is subsequently employed by Buyer. Buyer shall have no
obligation to offer employment to any of the employees of Buyer. Buyer shall
notify Seller at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date of those
employees to whom Buyer intends to offer employment. Buyer agrees to offer such
employees credit for accrued overtime, sick pay, vacation pay, holiday pay and
other employee benefits to the extent Buyer offers equivalent benefits to its
existing employees and to the extent the foregoing are included as current
liabilities under Section 2.05(a) hereof. Seller shall refrain from making any
statements or communications to its employees regarding subsequent employment
by Buyer or Buyer's employment policies without Buyer's prior written consent.

         Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of all regularly prepared
monthly financial statements relating to the Acquired Systems promptly after

year of Closing shall be prorated based upon real estate taxes levied or
estimated to be levied in that year by each taxing body (without regard to the
date of levy or the fiscal year of the taxing body); provided, however, if any
of such real estate taxes have not yet been levied as of the Closing Date for
the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, the tax proration shall be
based upon the prior year's tax levy, taking into account any adjustments in
real estate tax assessments which may have been made. Upon final levy of the
real estate taxes, Seller and Buyer agree that a final proration will be made
as of the Closing Date, and if it is determined that either party shall owe the
other based upon a discrepancy between the amounts included in the Final
Adjustment and the final proration, then the owing party shall make payment to
the other within thirty (30) days of final settlement thereof.

10.  DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND RISK OF LOSS.

                 (a)      The risk of any loss or damage to the Assets to be
Acquired and the Acquired Systems resulting from fire, theft or any other
casualty (but excluding any loss or damage attributable to reasonable wear and
tear) ("Damage") shall be borne by Seller at all times prior to the Closing. In
the event that any such Damage shall be sufficiently substantial so as to
preclude and prevent resumption of normal operations of all or any portion of
the Acquired Systems within twenty (20) days from the occurrence of the event
resulting in such loss or damage, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in
writing of its inability to resume normal




                                     -32-
<PAGE>   27
operations or to replace or restore the lost or damaged property, and Buyer, at
any time within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, may elect either (a)
to waive such defect and proceed toward consummation of the transaction in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (b) to terminate this
Agreement. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section,
the parties hereto shall stand fully released and discharged of any and all
obligations hereunder.

                 (b)      If Buyer shall elect to consummate this transaction
notwithstanding such Damage and does so, there shall be no diminution of the
Purchase Price, and all insurance proceeds (other than for bodily injury or for
damage to property other than the Assets to be Acquired or for business
interruption prior to the Closing Date) payable as a result of the occurrence
of the event resulting in the Damage shall be delivered to Buyer, or the rights
thereto shall be assigned to Buyer if not yet paid over to Seller, and Seller
shall pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible associated with the insurance
claim.

                 (c)      Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, in
the event of Damage to the Acquired Systems which is not material damage to the
Acquired Systems, Seller shall have the full responsibility for the completion
of all necessary repair and/or restoration work with respect to such damage,
whether or not such work is capable of being completed prior to the Closing
Date, and shall promptly and with due diligence, in a prudent and workmanlike
manner, proceed with such work, time being of the essence.

11.  SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES: INDEMNIFICATION.

         11.01   Survival of Representations and Warranties.

         All representations, warranties, covenants, stipulations,
certifications, indemnities and agreements contained herein or in any document
delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the consummation of the transactions
provided for in this Agreement; provided that the representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement shall expire and be extinguished six
months after the Closing Date, except for representations and warranties
relating to (i) title and ownership, which shall survive forever, (ii)
environmental matters, which shall survive for five years, and (iii) tax
matters, which shall survive until the third annual anniversary of the Closing
Date, and Buyer's and Seller's rights to make claims based thereon shall
likewise expire and be extinguished on such dates. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that Seller shall remain responsible for any refund
liability with respect to the rates charged by Seller in the Acquired Systems
through the Closing Date and Buyer's right to be indemnified for any such
claims shall survive forever.

         11.02   Indemnification.

                 (a)     Seller and Jones shall, jointly and severally, defend,
indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all claims, 
liabilities, damages, losses, deficiencies and expenses (including reasonable 
attorneys' fees and expenses and costs of suit.




                                     -33-
<PAGE>   28
including, but not limited to, travel expenses and discovery costs for such
matters as transcripts, photocopying, subpoenas and telecopies) (individually,
a "Loss" and collectively, "Losses") arising out of (i) any and all inaccurate
representations and warranties, and out of any and all breaches of covenants,
agreements and certifications made by or on behalf of Seller in this Agreement
or in any document delivered hereunder, (ii) any failure to comply with any
applicable bulk transfer acts, or (iii) any and all liabilities and obligations
of Seller (except for the Assumed Liabilities) and any and all liabilities and
obligations of Seller not disclosed to Buyer in this Agreement; provided that
in connection with the indemnification provided for in Section 11.02(a)(i)
hereof, Seller and Jones shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer for Losses
subject to indemnification thereunder (other than Losses relating to tax
matters) once the total amount of Losses for which Seller and Jones have
provided indemnification under such Section 11.02(a)(i) equals $4,500,000
("Seller's Cap"). Buyer shall not be entitled to be indemnified by Seller or
Jones for any Losses under this Section 11.02(a) arising out of any single
claim or aggregate claims until the total amount of all such Losses suffered or
paid by Buyer exceeds $250,000 ("Seller's Basket"). Buyer shall then be entitled
to be indemnified for all such Losses under this Section 11.02(a) arising out a
single claim or aggregate claims. For example, if the total amount of such
Losses equals $252,000, Buyer shall be entitled to be indemnified for the
entire amount of such Losses, and not just the amount of Losses in excess of
$250,000.

                 (b)     Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless
from and against any and all Losses arising out of (i) any and all inaccurate
representations, and out of any and all breaches of covenants, warranties,
stipulations, agreements and certifications made by or on behalf of Buyer in
this Agreement or in any document delivered by Buyer hereunder; (ii) the
Assumed Liabilities; and (iii) all debts, liabilities or claims owing by or
against Buyer subsequent to the Closing Date or arising out of the business
activities of Buyer subsequent thereto; provided that Buyer shall not be
obligated to indemnify Seller for Losses subject to indemnification hereunder
once the total amount of Losses for which Buyer has provided indemnification
hereunder equals $4,500,000.
                 
         11.03  Indemnification with Respect to Third-Party Claims.

                  (a)     Definition. As used herein, a "Third-Party Claim"
means a Loss or potential Loss for which indemnification is claimed by Buyer or
Seller (the "Indemnitee") under the provisions of this Article 11 and which is
consequent to a claim against the Indemnitee by a person, corporation,
association, partnership or other business organization, or an individual, or a
government, any political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency by
commencement against the Indemnitee of a legal action or proceeding or receipt
by the Indemnitee of an assertion of a claim for which indemnification is
provided pursuant to this Article 11 by Buyer or Seller and Jones, as the case
may be (the "Indemnitor").
                                                                      
                 (b)     The Indemnitee will give notice of a Third-Party Claim
to the Indemnitor, together with, if such Third-Party Claim is subject to
arbitration pursuant to Section 14 hereof, demand for arbitration, stating the
nature thereof and enclosing copies of any complaint, summons, written
assertion of such Third-Party Claim or similar document. No claim




                                     -34-
<PAGE>   29
for indemnification on account of a Third-Party Claim shall be made and no
indemnification therefor shall be available under this Article 11  until the
Indemnitee shall have given initial written notice of its claim to the
Indemnitor.

                 (c)     Retention of Counsel by the Indemnitor. Except as
hereinafter provided (including, but not limited to, Section 11.03(d)(ii)
hereof), the Indemnitor shall engage counsel to defend a Third-Party Claim, and
shall provide notice to the Indemnitee not later than 15 business days
following delivery by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor of a notice of a Third
Party Claim, such notice to include an acknowledgment by the Indemnitor that it
will be liable in full to the Indemnitee for any Losses in connection with such
Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee will fully cooperate with such counsel. The
Indemnitor will cause such counsel to consult with the Indemnitee as
appropriate as to the defense of such claim, and the Indemnitee may, at its own
expense, participate in such defense, assistance or enforcement, but the
Indemnitor shall control such defense, assistance or enforcement. The Indemnitor
will cause such counsel engaged by the Indemnitor to keep the Indemnitee
informed at all times of the status of such defense, assistance or enforcement.

                 (d)     Employment of Counsel by the Indemnitee.
                       
                         (i)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
         11.03(c), the Indemnitee shall have the right to engage counsel and to
         control the defense of a Third-Party Claim if the Indemnitor shall not
         have notified the Indemnitee of its appointment of counsel and control
         of the defense of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 11.03(c)
         within the time period therein provided.

                         (ii)   Notwithstanding the engagement of counsel by
         the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own
         expense, to engage counsel to participate jointly with the Indemnitor
         in, and to control jointly with the Indemnitor, the defense of a
         Third-Party Claim if (x) the Third-Party Claim involves remedies other
         than monetary damages and such remedies, in the Indemnitee's
         reasonable judgment, could have an effect on the conduct of the
         Indemnitee's business, or (y) the Third-Party Claim relates to acts,
         omissions, conditions, events or other matters occurring after the
         Closing Date as well as to acts, omissions, conditions, events or
         other matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, or (z) the claims
         involve monetary damages which could exceed Seller's Cap.

                         (iii)  If the Indemnitee chooses to exercise its
         right to appoint counsel under this Section 11.03(d), the Indemnitee
         shall deliver notice thereof to the Indemnitor setting forth in
         reasonable detail why it believes that it has such right and the name
         of the counsel it proposes to employ. The Indemnitee may deliver such
         notice at any time that the conditions to the exercise of such right
         appear to be fulfilled, it being recognized that in the course of
         litigation, the scope




                                     -35-
<PAGE>   30
         of litigation and the amount at stake may change. The Indemnitee shall
         thereupon have the right to appoint such counsel.

                         (iv)    The reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
         and any accountants, experts or consultants engaged by the Indemnitee
         in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.03(d)(i) in
         connection with defending a Third-Party Claim shall be paid by the
         Indemnitor in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11. If
         the Indemnitee's employment of counsel is for a Third-Party Claim of
         the type described in subdivision (ii)(y) or (ii)(z) of this Section
         11.03(d), then subject to the provisions of Section 11.03(e), the
         amount of fees and expenses so payable by the Indemnitor shall be that
         fraction of the aggregate of such fees and expenses, the numerator of
         which is the portion of the amount of any judgment on, or settlement
         of, such Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnitee is indemnified
         pursuant to this Article 11 and the denominator of which is the total
         amount of such judgment or settlement, but provided further, if such
         defense of a Third-Party Claim is successful (in the sense that as a
         consequence thereof, there is no Loss (other than such fees and
         expenses) for which the Indemnitee is indemnified pursuant to this
         Article 11), the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor will attempt in good
         faith to reach an agreement on the amount of such fees and expenses so
         payable by the Indemnitor.

                 (e)     Settlement of Third-Party Claims.

                         (i)     The Indemnitor may settle any Third-Party
         Claim solely involving monetary damages only if the amount of such
         settlement is to be paid entirely by the Indemnitor pursuant to this
         Article 11.
                         
                         (ii)    The Indemnitor will not enter into a
         settlement of a Third Party Claim which involves a non-monetary remedy
         or which will not be paid entirely by the Indemnitor pursuant to this
         Article 11  without the written consent of the Indemnitee (which
         consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  

          

                         (iii)   The Indemnitee will not enter into a
         settlement of a Third Party Claim without the written consent of the
         Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, under
         the circumstances described in subdivision (i) of Section 11.03(d), if
         the Indemnitor has accepted all or any portion of the liability for
         such Third-Party Claim. Otherwise, the Indemnitee shall be free to
         compromise, defend and settle Third-Party Claims without prejudice to
         any of its rights hereunder or under applicable law.
                         
                         (iv)    As to any Third-Party Claim of the type
         described in subsection (ii)(y) or subsection (ii)(z) of Section
         11.03(d), the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall consult as to any
         proposed settlement. If the Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor that it
         wishes to accept a proposed settlement and the Indemnitor is    




                                     -36-
<PAGE>   31
         unwilling to do so, if the amount for which the Third-Party Claim is
         ultimately resolved is greater than the amount for which the
         Indemnitee desired to settle, then (x) the Indemnitee shall be liable
         only for the amount, if any, which it would have paid had the
         Third-Party Claim been settled as proposed by the Indemnitee, and (y)
         all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and costs of suit incurred
         by the Indemnitee subsequent to the time of the proposed settlement
         shall be paid or reimbursed by the Indemnitor.

                         (v)    In determining whether to accept or reject any
         settlement proposal, each party shall act in good faith and with due
         regard for the reasonable commercial and financial interests of the
         other.
                         
                (f)     Claims as to Which Indemnification is Partially
Payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any settlement of, or
final judgment with respect to, a Third-Party Claim which relates to acts,
omissions, conditions, events or other matters occurring both before and after
the Closing Date, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall negotiate in good
faith as to the portion of such Third-Party Claim as to which such
indemnification is payable.

                (g)     Cooperation, etc. The Indemnitee and the Indemnitor 
shall cooperate with one another in good faith in connection with the defense,
compromise or settlement of any claim or action. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the party controlling the defense or settlement of
any matter shall take steps reasonably designed to ensure that the other party
and its counsel are informed at all times of the status of such matter. Neither
party shall dispose of, compromise or settle any claim or action in a manner
that is not reasonable under the circumstances and in good faith. The
Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall enter into such confidentiality and other
non-disclosure agreements as the Indemnitee or Indemnitor, as the case may be,
shall reasonably request in order to protect trade secrets and other
confidential or proprietary information of the Indemnitee or Indemnitor, as the
case may be.
        
12.   TERMINATION.

         12.01 Termination by Mutual Agreement.

         This Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing (i) by mutual
agreement of Seller and Buyer or (ii) by Buyer in the event of a substantial
loss under Section 10. In such event, this Agreement shall terminate and neither
Buyer nor Seller shall have any further obligation or liability to the other
hereunder, except that Sections 14, 15, 16.05, 16.06 and 16.07 of the Agreement
shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding such
termination.

<PAGE>   32
         12.02 Buyer's Default.

         Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer has delivered
to Seller an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a financial institution
reasonably acceptable to Seller in the amount of $84,000,000 and in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Letter of Credit"). In the event that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated on the Closing
Date (if and as extended upon the mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer) due to
Buyer's failure or refusal to close, and all of the conditions specified in
Section 6 shall have been satisfied, Seller shall be entitled, at its sole
option and discretion, either to: (A) draw down the amount of the Purchase
Price, as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.03, under the Letter of Credit
immediately upon tendering to Buyer the instruments and documents specified in
Section 8.01(a), provided that Seller's Closing Notice advised Buyer of
Seller's intent to make such draw in the event Buyer failed or refused to
close; or (B) terminate this Agreement and pursue any and all of its equitable
and legal causes of action against Buyer, provided that Seller's right to
recover damages against Buyer shall not be limited in any respect by the
provisions of Section 11.02 hereof or otherwise, and provided further that the
Letter of Credit shall be returned to the financial institution issuing the
Letter of Credit upon such termination. Payment of a draw under the Letter of
Credit shall not constitute an admission by Buyer of Seller's entitlement to
such funds. Buyer shall have the right to pursue all of its equitable and legal
causes of action against Seller as a result of any such draw and Buyer's right
to recover damages from Seller as a result thereof shall not be limited in any
respect by the provisions of Section 11.02 hereof or otherwise.
         
         12.03 Seller's Default.

         In the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
not consummated on the Closing Date (if and as extended) due to Seller's
failure or refusal to close, and all of the conditions specified in Section 7
shall have been satisfied, Buyer shall be entitled to pursue any and all of its
equitable and legal causes of action against Seller.
         
         12.04 Termination by Buyer or Seller.

         This Agreement may be terminated by Buyer or Seller at any time after
September 30, 1996 (the "Termination Date") in the event that any condition set
forth in Sections 6 or 7 hereof has not been satisfied or tendered by the party
owing performance for any reason other than a material breach or default by
such party of its respective covenants, agreements, or other obligations under
this Agreement, or waived by the party for whose benefit the condition is
intended. Upon such termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further
obligation or liability to the other hereunder, except that Sections 14, 15,
16.05, 16.06 and 16.07 of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full
force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and

                                   FRANCHISE

                                   AGREEMENT
<PAGE>   2
STATE OF NEW YORK

Town of Clarence, County of Erie

         This FRANCHISE AGREEMENT made this 25th day of April, 1995 between the
Incorporated Town of Clarence (hereinafter called "Clarence") and Cable TV Fund
11-B, LTD., a Colorado limited partnership doing business as Jones Intercable
Inc., (hereinafter called "Franchisee").

         WHEREAS Franchisee wishes to construct, maintain and operate a cable
television system in Clarence; and

         WHEREAS the construction, maintenance and operation of said cable
television system involves the use and occupation by Franchisee of the streets,
thoroughfares and other public rights-of-way belonging to Clarence; and

         WHEREAS the technical ability, financial condition and character of
Franchisee and its principals have been considered and approved by the Town
Board of Clarence in full public proceedings affording due process; and

         WHEREAS, by resolution of the Town Board dated April 12,1995, Clarence
has granted a renewal of the non-exclusive cable television franchise to
Franchisee and authorized the Town Supervisor or other designated
representative of the Town Board to execute the instant FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
with Franchisee upon the terms hereinafter set forth; and

         WHEREAS, the instant FRANCHISE AGREEMENT complies with the franchise
standards required by the New York State Commission of Cable Television and the
Federal Communications Commission;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and
covenants contained herein:

         IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:





                                                                               2
<PAGE>   3
         1. Grant

         Clarence hereby grants to Franchisee, its successors and assigns the
non-exclusive right and privilege to erect and place in Clarence and to
construct, maintain and operate in, over or under the present and future
streets, sidewalks, alleys, public land and places and highways in or of
Clarence, towers, poles, lines, cables, necessary wiring and other apparatus
for the purpose of transmitting, receiving, amplifying and distributing
telephone, telegraph, television, data, radio signals and other video and aural
programming and communications services within said Clarence and to the
inhabitants thereof. Any and all towers intended to be erected shall be subject
to the prior approval of the Town Board of Clarence. No antennas nor poles
shall exceed the height of existing utility poles without the prior approval of
the Town Board. All installations shall comply with Clarence ordinances and
federal, state and local laws and regulations.

         2. Term

         The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of ten (10) years
from June 11,1995.

         3. Franchise Area

         The franchise rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall
be applicable to the present territorial limits of the Town of Clarence and to
any area added thereto during the term of this Agreement.

         4. Construction

         (a)     Franchisee shall construct and maintain its cable system in a
safe and reliable manner.

         (b)     The population density shall be established at a minimum of 25
dwelling units per aerial mile of cable for years 1 thru 5 of this franchise.
During years 6 - 10 of this franchise the population density shall be
established at 20 dwelling units per aerial mile of cable. Areas adjoining
existing cable plant meeting the above density requirements shall be cabled
without a contribution in aid of construction by subscribers. Areas not
immediately adjoining the cable plant and whose population density is less than
the number of dwelling units per lineal mile of aerial cable established above,
shall be considered to be located in a line extension area.  Subscribers
residing in such an area and who are willing to contribute to the





                                                                               3
<PAGE>   4
cost of construction shall be entitled to services in accordance with the
following formula C/LE -CA/P = SC.

C = The actual cost of new construction in the line extension area;

LE = The number of dwelling units requesting service in the line extension
area;

CA = The average cost of construction per mile in the primary service area;

P = The minimum number of dwelling units per mile which would require the
franchisee to provide service in the primary service area. This is determined
by taking the minimum number, or the average (which is determined by dividing
the number of dwelling units in the primary service area by the number of
lineal miles of cable in the same area) whichever of the two numbers is lower;

SC = Subscriber contribution in aid of construction in the line extension area.

         (c)     Franchisee shall construct its cable system using materials of
good and durable quality, and all work involved in construction, installation,
maintenance, and repair of the cable system shall be performed in a safe,
thorough, and reliable manner.

         (d)     New subdivisions where cable facilities have been installed in
joint trench with power and/or telephone that are located within cabled areas
shall have service activated when the number of occupied homes equals 25% of
the planned lots in the subdivision. The calculation of the percentage occupied
will be determined based on the area where cable facilities have been placed in
joint trench rather than including future phases of the subdivision in the lots
calculation.

         (e)     The Clarence Cable Committee may schedule two construction
meetings per year, 1.) in September to provide input to the Franchisee on
future home construction and any cable construction requests received by the
commission and 2.) in March for the Franchisee to update the Commission on
construction plans.

         (f)     Operator may, in its discretion, solicit door to door for the
purpose of selling Operator's services.  Operator shall provide Franchisee with
thirty (30) days advance written notice of its intent to solicit door to door.
Operator may survey and solicit door to door in areas not serviced by
Franchisee for the purpose of determining the feasibility of providing service
to said area by giving Clarence advanced notice verbally.





                                                                               4
<PAGE>   5
         5. Subscriber Rates

         (a)     The Franchisee may make such charges for services provided to
subscribers as are permitted by Federal, State, or Local law. Under this
subsection, neither party surrenders any other rights or obligations due them
under any other Federal, State, or Local statute rule or regulation.

         (b)     Any subscriber over 65 years of age who is the principal
resident of the service dwelling will be entitled to a discount of 10% on basic
cable television services, including initial installation. This discount will
be extended to the Limited Basic customer and the Basic Plus customer.
Franchisee shall establish a procedure for subscribers to apply for this
discount.

         (c)     The Town Hall, Town Library, all public schools, Senior
Center, and Youth Center within Clarence which are in areas meeting the density
requirements of section 4(b) will receive one free outlet and free Basic Plus
Service.

         (d)     Franchisee agrees to seek the Clarence Cable Commission's
input during regularly scheduled meetings on any programming changes.
Franchisee will consult with the Town's representative prior to customer
notification of planned changes so long as the changes are within the
Franchisee's control. Both parties agree that the input and notification
process in no way abridges Franchisee' rights to make programming decisions.
Franchisee shall have the right to conduct door to door sales for the purpose
of selling Franchisee's products. All telemarketers shall act in professional
and courteous manner. To the extent, that Clarence should receive citizen
complaints regarding door to door telemarketers, Franchisee agrees to work
closely with Clarence to correct the complaints and to prevent future
complaints from occurring.

         (e)     Franchisee agrees to make available to the Clarence High
School production equipment, not to exceed twenty five thousand ($25,000) in
value, to allow the school to originate programming from the high school.
Clarence agrees that if at least twenty (20) hours of programming in the first
year, twenty eight (28) hours of programming the second year and forty (40)
hours of programming in the third year and each year thereafter, is not made
available to Franchisee for cablecast per school year, the franchisee, at its
option, may remove the equipment for use at a another location. Equipment will
be made available no latter than the start of the 1995 school year. Franchisee
agrees to provide one (1) preventive maintenance service per year for the above
provided production equipment. Franchisee is not responsible for any damages
caused by the users actions, direct or indirect, negligence, or lack of action.


                                                                               5

         6. Complaints

         (a)     Franchisee shall maintain an office with a listed telephone
number within the Village of Lancaster for the purpose of receiving and
responding to cable television subscriber complaints.

         (b)     All subscriber complaints or trouble calls shall receive
investigative action on the same day such complaint or call is received at the
local office, if possible, but in no case later than the following business
day.  Subscriber complaints and trouble calls shall be processed in compliance
with the standards set forth in Section 596.8 of the rules and regulations of
the New York State Commission on Cable Television.

         (c)     Franchisee shall provide notice to each subscriber, at
intervals of not more than one year, of the procedure for reporting and
resolving subscriber complaints. (Such notice may be written or by such other
means as the State Commission on Cable Television may from time to time
approve.)

         7. Prohibition of Abandonment

         8. Indemnification and Insurance

         (a)     Franchisee shall indemnify and save Clarence harmless from all
losses sustained by Clarence on account of any suit, judgment, execution,
claim, damage, or demand whatsoever occasioned by or arising out of the
construction, erection, maintenance, repair, or operation of Franchisee's cable
television system or the exercise by Clarence of the franchise rights granted
herein. For this purpose, Franchisee shall obtain and carry property damage and
personal liability insurance written by an insurance company or companies
qualified to do business in the State of New York. The amounts of such
insurance shall be not less than $250,000 for liability due to damage to
property, no less than $500,000 for liability due to injury or death of any
person, and not less than $1,000,000 for liability due to any one accident.

of any claim or demand, either by suit or otherwise, made against Clarence on
account of any negligence or other conduct on the part of Franchisee.





                                                                               6
<PAGE>   7
         (b)     Franchisee specifically agrees that it will pay all expenses
incurred by Clarence to defend itself in regard to any matter mentioned in
paragraph (a), above. These expenses shall include out-of pocket expenses, such

service rendered by Clarence's attorneys or their assistants or any other
employees of Clarence.

         (c)     A certificate evidencing the insurance coverage required by

any activity undertaken pursuant to this Agreement shall be repaired or

openings or obstructions in public ways will be protected by fencing or other
protective devices at the sole expense of Franchisee. At its own expense

         11. Additional Regulations

privileges granted in this Agreement.





                                                                               7

                            ORDER APPROVING RENEWAL

               (Adopted: March 2, 1994; Released: March 23, 1994)

                 The above-captioned application was submitted by Cable TV Fund
11-B, Ltd. (Jones Intercable, Inc., General Partner) on January 31, 1994. A
copy of same was served upon the Town and all local notice requirements were
met. Notice was also published in this Commission's Weekly Bulletin on February
4, 1994. No comments or objections have been received.

                 This application is governed by Section 822 of the Executive
Law which requires our approval unless we find specific violations of law, the
regulations of this Commission, or the public interest. Section 822(4) of the
Executive Law provides that we may approve the renewal contingent upon
compliance with standards or conditions consistent with the public interest.
Having reviewed this application in the context of all applicable statutory and
regulatory standards, we have determined to approve the renewal subject to
conditions as hereinafter set forth.

                 This application seeks our approval of a renewal of a
franchise granted by Town of Elma on August 1, 1984, which provided for an
optional five year renewal in favor of the company. The terms of the franchise,
as renewed, are subject to the Cable Act.

Channel Capacity

                 The cable operator has committed itself to a technical upgrade
and rebuild of its system to a minimum capacity of 450 MHz by December 31,
1995. We wish to emphasize that the timely fulfillment of this commitment is an
express and material condition of our approval herein.

Public, Educational and Governmental (PEG) Access

                 Our approval is granted with the understanding that the
provisions of Section 595.4 of our rules pertaining to minimum standards for
public, educational and governmental access are controlling.

                                       2

Line Extension

                 Our approval is granted with the understanding that our line
extension rules as provided in Section 595.5 of 9 NYCRR are controlling.

Subscriber Complaints, Trouble Call Processing and Consumer Service Standards

                 Approval is granted with the understanding that our rules
applicable to trouble call processing, credit for service outages and consumer
protection and service standards as set forth in Section 596.8 and Part 590 of
our rules are controlling.

Franchise Fee Offset

                 Section 15 Of the subject franchise provides for a franchise
fee payment of three percent (3%) of annual gross revenues "less any taxes
levied by the New York State Department of Equalization and Assessment and paid
to the Town." Such provision indicates an intent by the franchising parties to
reverse the procedure set forth in Section 626 of the Real Property Tax Law
whereby franchise fees may be credited as an offset against Special franchise
tax assessments. In effect, this franchise provision contemplates that the
special franchise assessment will instead be paid to the Town but the amount
paid will be deducted from the amount Of franchise fees otherwise due to the
Town. Under either method of applying the statutory credit authorized by RPTL
Section 626, it is apparent that the net effect will be the same. Therefore, we
shall approve this provision with the understanding that only the amount of
special franchise tax actually paid to the Town may be credited as an offset
against franchise fees otherwise payable. We also note that the wording of this
franchise provision referring to "any taxes" does not include real property tax
assessments other than the special franchise tax assessed by the Department of
Equalization and Assessment.

THE COMMISSION ORDERS:

1.       Pursuant to Section 822 of the Executive Law and the rules and
regulations of this Commission, the application of Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd.
(Jones Intercable, Inc., General Partner) for approval of the renewal of its
cable television franchise for the Town of Elma (Erie County) is hereby
approved, subject to the conditions and understandings expressed herein. Said
renewal shall expire on August 1, 1999.

2.       This Order does not in any way confer rights or privileges other than
those granted in the underlying franchise and the certificate holder remains
subject to the obligations imposed by Article 28 of the Executive Law, the
underlying franchise and all applicable rules, regulations and orders of this
Commission.

                                   AGREEMENT
<PAGE>   2
STATE OF NEW YORK

Town of Orchard Park and Village of Orchard Park, County of Erie

         This FRANCHISE AGREEMENT made this 28th day of May, 1995 between the
Incorporated Town of Orchard Park and Village of Orchard Park (hereinafter
called "Orchard Park") and Cable TV Fund 11-B, LTD., a Colorado limited
partnership doing business as Jones Intercable Inc., (hereinafter called
"Franchisee").

         WHEREAS Franchisee wishes to construct, maintain and operate a cable
television system in Orchard Park; and

         WHEREAS the construction, maintenance and operation of said cable
television system involves the use and occupation by Franchisee of the streets,
thoroughfares and other public rights-of-way belonging to Orchard Park; and

         WHEREAS the technical ability, financial condition and character of
Franchisee and its principals have been considered and approved by the Town
Board of Orchard Park and the Village Board of Orchard Park in full public
proceedings affording due process; and

         WHEREAS, by resolution of the Town Board dated May 17, 1995, Orchard
Park has granted a renewal of the non-exclusive cable television franchise to
Franchisee and authorized the Town Supervisor or other designated
representative of the Town Board to execute the instant FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
with Franchisee upon the terms hereinafter set forth; and

         WHEREAS, by resolution of the Village Board dated May 17, 1995,
Orchard Park has granted a renewal of the non-exclusive cable television
franchise to Franchisee and authorized the Village Mayor or other designated
representative of the Village Board to execute the instant FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
with Franchisee upon the terms hereinafter set forth; and

         WHEREAS, the instant FRANCHISE AGREEMENT complies with the franchise
standards required by the New York State Commission of Cable Television and the
Federal Communications Commission;





                                                                               2
<PAGE>   3
         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and
covenants contained herein:

         IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

         1. Grant

         Orchard Park hereby grants to Franchisee, its successors and assigns
the nonexclusive right and privilege to erect and place in Orchard Park and to
construct, maintain and operate in, over or under the present and future
streets, sidewalks, alleys, public land and places and highways in or of
Orchard Park, towers, poles, lines, cables, necessary wiring and other
apparatus for the purpose of transmitting, receiving, amplifying and
distributing telephone, telegraph, television, data, radio signals and other
video and aural programming and communications services within said Orchard
Park and to the inhabitants thereof. Any and all towers intended to be erected
shall be subject to the prior approval of Orchard Park. No antennas nor poles
shall exceed the height of existing utility poles without the prior approval of
Orchard Park. All installations shall comply with Orchard Park ordinances and
federal, state and local laws and regulations.

         2. Term

         The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of ten (10) years
from May 28, 1995.

         3. Franchise Area

         The franchise rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall
be applicable to the present territorial limits of the Town of Orchard Park and
the Village of Orchard Park and to any area added thereto during the term of
this Agreement.

         4. Construction

         (a)     Franchisee shall construct and maintain its cable system in a
safe and reliable manner.





                                                                               3
<PAGE>   4
         (b)     The population density shall be established at a minimum of 25
dwelling units per aerial mile of cable for years 1 thru 5 of this franchise.
During years 6 - 10 of this franchise the population density shall be
established at 20 dwelling units per aerial mile of cable. Areas adjoining
existing cable plant meeting the above density requirements shall be cabled
without a contribution in aid of construction by subscribers. Areas not
immediately adjoining the cable plant and whose population density is less than
the number of dwelling units per lineal mile of aerial cable established above,
shall be considered to be located in a line extension area. Subscribers
residing in such an area and who are willing to contribute to the cost of
construction shall be entitled to services in accordance with the following
formula C/LE-CA/P = SC.

C = The actual cost of new construction in the line extension area;

CA = The average cost of construction per mile in the primary service area;

P = The minimum number of dwelling units per mile which would require the
franchisee to provide service in the primary service area. This is determined
by taking the minimum number, or the average (which is determined by dividing
the number of dwelling units in the primary service area by the number of
lineal miles of cable in the same area) whichever of the two numbers is lower;

LE = The number of dwelling units requesting service in the line extension
area;

SC = Subscriber contribution in aid of construction in the line extension area.

         (c)     Franchisee shall construct its cable system using materials of
good and durable quality, and all work involved in construction, installation,
maintenance, and repair of the cable system shall be performed in a safe,
thorough, and reliable manner.

         (d)     New subdivisions where cable facilities have been installed in
joint trench with power and/or telephone that are located within cabled areas
shall have service activated when the number of occupied homes equals 25% of
the planned lots in the subdivision. The calculation of the percentage occupied
will be determined based on the area where cable facilities have been placed in
joint trench rather than including future phases of the subdivision in the lots
calculation.

         5. Subscriber Rates

         (a)     The Franchisee may make such charges for services provided to
subscribers as are permitted by Federal, State, or Local law. Under this
sub-section, neither party surrenders any other rights or obligations due them
under any other Federal, State, or Local statute rule or regulation.





                                                                               4
<PAGE>   5
         (b)     Any subscriber over 65 years of age who is the principal
resident of the service dwelling will be entitled to a discount of 10% on basic
cable television service including initial installation. This discount will be
extended to the Basic Plus customer. Franchisee shall establish a procedure for
subscribers to apply for this discount.

         (c)     The Town Hall, Town Library, Fire Stations, Senior Center, and
all public schools within Orchard Park which are in areas meeting the density
requirements of section 4(b) will receive one free outlet and free Basic Plus
Service.

         (d)     Franchisee agrees to construct a two way capable plant to the
Orchard Park High School to enable the School to cable cast programming on the
Educational access channel. Franchisee has sole responsibility for scheduling
air time for access programming.

         6. Complaints

         (a)     Franchisee shall maintain an office with a listed telephone
number within the Orchard Park for the purpose of receiving and responding to
cable television subscriber complaints.

         (b)     All subscriber complaints or trouble calls shall receive
investigative action on the same day such complaint or call is received at the
local office, if possible, but in no case later than the following business
day.  Subscriber complaints and trouble calls shall be processed in compliance
with the standards set forth in Section 596.8 of the rules and regulations of
the New York State Commission on Cable Television.

         (c)     Franchisee shall provide notice to each subscriber, at
intervals of not more than one year, of the procedure for reporting and
resolving subscriber complaints. (Such notice may be written or by such other
means as the State Commission on Cable Television may from time to time
approve.)

         7. Prohibition of Abandonment

Franchisee shall provide continuous cable television service during the term of
this agreement and shall at no time during the term of this agreement abandon
or cease to operate its cable system.





                                                                               5
<PAGE>   6
         8. Indemnification and Insurance

         (a)     Franchisee shall indemnify and save Orchard Park harmless from
all losses sustained by Orchard Park on account of any suit, judgment,
execution, claim, damage, or demand whatsoever occasioned by or arising out of
the construction, erection, maintenance, repair, or operation of Franchisee's
cable television system or the exercise by Orchard Park of the franchise rights
granted herein. For this purpose, Franchisee shall obtain and carry property
damage and personal liability insurance written by an insurance company or
companies qualified to do business in the State of New York. The amounts of
such insurance shall be not less than $250,000 for liability due to damage to
property, no less than $5,000,000 for liability due to injury or death of any
person, and not less than $5,000,000 for liability due to any one accident.
Orchard Park shall notify Franchisee within thirty (30) days after the
presentation of any claim or demand, either by suit or otherwise, made against
Orchard Park on account of any negligence or other conduct on the part of
Franchisee.

         (b)     Franchisee specifically agrees that it will pay all expenses
incurred by Orchard Park to defend itself in regard to any matter mentioned in
paragraph (a), above. These expenses shall include out-of pocket expenses, such
as reasonable attorney's fees, and shall include the reasonable value of any
service rendered by Orchard Park's attorneys or their assistants or any other
employees of Orchard Park.

         (c)     A certificate evidencing the insurance coverage required by
paragraph (a), above, shall be delivered by Franchisee to the Town Clerk within
60 days of the date of this franchise.

         9. Repair of Property

         Any property of the Town of Orchard Park or the Village of Orchard
Park damaged or destroyed by reason of any activity undertaken pursuant to this
Agreement shall be repaired or replaced, or Franchisee shall commence such
repair or replacement, within 48 hours from the time Franchisee receives notice
of the damage. Franchisee shall restore any such damage property to serviceable
condition. All openings or obstructions in public ways will be protected by
fencing or other protective devices at the sole expense of Franchisee. At its
own expense Franchisee will disconnect or relocate any of its equipment in
public rights-of-way as may be required by the Town or Village by reason of
street construction and public safety. If requested by a private party holding
an appropriate permit issued by the Town or Village, Franchisee will
temporarily raise or lower its lines to enable the moving of any building or
structure if expenses related thereto are paid by the requesting party.
Franchisee will restore or commence to restore any damage to private property
resulting from the installation and operation of its cable television system
within thirty (30) days of notice from such property owner.





                                                                               6
<PAGE>   7
         10. Equal Employment

         Franchisee shall not refuse to hire or employ, nor bar or discharge
from employment, nor discriminate against any person in compensation or in
terms, conditions, or privileges of employment because of age, race, creed,
color, national origin, or sex.

         11. Additional Regulations

         Orchard Park reserves the right to adopt such additional regulations
as it shall find necessary in the exercise of its police power, provided such
regulations are reasonable and not materially in conflict with the rights and
privileges granted in this Agreement.

         12. Municipal Inspection

         Orchard Park reserves the right to inspect all pertinent books,
records, maps, plans, financial statements, and other like materials of
Franchisee upon reasonable notice during normal business hours.

         13. Responsible Municipal Officer

         The Town Board and the Village Board shall be responsible for the
continuing administration of this Agreement.

         14. Material Provisions and Severability

         Should any provision of this Agreement be held invalid by any court or
regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

         15.     Approval and Amendment of Provisions

         (a)     The terms and provisions of this Agreement are subject to the
approval of the New York State Commission on Cable Television.





                                                                               7
<PAGE>   8
         (b)     Should the Federal Communications Commission or the New York
State Commission on Cable Television make such modifications of the provisions
of its rules and regulations that would require the amendment of this
Agreement, such amendment is hereby agreed upon and such necessary provisions
or changes are incorporated herein by reference.  Necessary amendments will be
made within one year or upon the expiration of this Agreement, whichever occurs
first.

         16. Franchise Fees and Reporting

         Franchisee agrees to pay to Orchard Park for the rights and privileges
enjoyed hereunder, a sum equal to three percent (3%) of Franchisee's gross
annual receipts attributable to providing the services contemplated in this
Franchise Agreement. Such sum shall be paid in semiannual installments within
90 days of the end of each fiscal half year of Franchisee. In addition to the
above described franchise fee, Franchisee shall be responsible for all
applicable local, state, and federal property, sales, income, and franchise and
other taxes or assessments. Franchisee shall provide a financial statement to
Orchard Park annually, within 90 days of the close of its fiscal year. Such
financial reports will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principals and shall be audited by a public accountant or certified
by a senior financial officer of Franchisee.

         17. Future Technology Initiative

         (a)     The Franchisee and Orchard Park recognize that during the
period of this Agreement that technology changes in the Cable industry may make
new products and services available that may benefit Orchard Park and its
residents. Both parties agree to evaluate these products and services as they
become available.  Nothing in this section will require either party to offer a
specific service or to purchase it if made available.





                                                                               8

         The parties have duly executed this agreement as of the date first
written above.

                                        (i)     of all the Lenders would exceed

         irrevocably request, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, on not less than
         three nor more than five Business Days' notice, or, in the case of
         Base Rate Loans, on not less than one nor more than five Business

         and an integral multiple of $100,000, or in the unused amount of the
         then applicable Commitment Amount. Upon receipt of a Borrowing
         Request, the Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders on the same
         day of the Borrowing requested thereby. On the terms and subject to
         the conditions of this Agreement, each Borrowing shall be comprised of
         the type of Loans, and shall be made on the Business Day, specified in
         such Borrowing Request. On or before 2:00 p.m., Hartford, Connecticut
         time, on such Business Day, each Lender shall deposit with the Agent
         same day funds in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of the
         requested Borrowing. Such deposit will be made to an account which the
         Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the
         extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Agent shall make such
         funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer to the accounts the
         Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request. No Lender's

<PAGE>   23
         make any Loan shall be affected by any other Lender's failure to make
         any Loan.

                 SECTION 2.4. CONTINUATION AND CONVERSION ELECTIONS. By
         delivering a Continuation/Conversion Notice to the Agent on or before
         12:00 noon, Hartford, Connecticut time, on a Business Day, the
         Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than
         three nor more than five Business Days' notice, that all, or any
         portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and an integral
         multiple of $100,000, of any Loans be, in the case of Base Rate Loans,
         converted into LIBO Rate Loans or in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, be
         converted into a Base Rate Loan or continued as a LIBO Rate Loan (in
         the absence of delivery of a Continuation/Conversion Notice with
         respect to any LIBO Rate Loan at least three Business Days before the
         last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto,
         such LIBO Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert
         into a Base Rate Loan); provided, however, that (x) each such
         conversion or continuation shall be pro rated among the applicable
         outstanding Loans of all Lenders, and (y) no portion of the
         outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be continued as, or be
         converted into, LIBO Rate Loans when any Default has occurred and is
         continuing. Upon receipt of a Continuation/Conversion Notice, the
         Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders on the same day of the
         continuation or conversion requested thereby. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, in the case of the conversion of a LIBO Rate Loan into a
         Base Rate Loan, the Borrower may make such election on not less than
         one nor more than five Business Days' notice.

                 SECTION 2.5. FUNDING. Each Lender may, if it so elects,
         fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBO Rate Loans
         hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an
         international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or
         maintain such LIBO Rate Loan; provided, however, that such LIBO Rate
         Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by
         such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBO
         Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such
         foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. In
         addition, the Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, for purposes
         of any determination to be made under Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, it
         shall be conclusively assumed that each Lender elected to fund all
         LIBO Rate Loans by purchasing, as the case may be, Dollar certificates
         of deposit in the U.S. or Dollar deposits in its LIBOR Office's
         interbank eurodollar market.

                 SECTION 2.6. NOTES. Each Lender's Loans shall be evidenced by
         a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a maximum principal
         amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of the original applicable
         Commitment Amount. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each





                                      -22-
<PAGE>   24
         Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid
         attached to such Lender's Note (or on any continuation of such grid),
         which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the
         outstanding principal of, and the interest rate and Interest Period
         applicable to, the Loans evidenced thereby.  Such notations shall be
         conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error;
         provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such
         notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the
         Borrower.

                 SECTION 3.1. CONVERSION, REPAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS. On the
         Conversion Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each
         Lender's Revolving Loans (with respect to each Lender, the "CONVERSION
         DATE AMOUNT") shall automatically convert into a term loan (with
         respect to each Lender, its "TERM LOAN"). Thereafter, the Borrower
         shall repay the outstanding principal amount of each Lender's Term
         Loan in successive quarterly installments on each Quarterly Payment
         Date beginning with March 31, 1997 and ending on the Stated Maturity
         Date. The amount of each installment in each calendar year shall be
         equal, and the aggregate principal amount of all installments made in
         each calendar year shall be equal to an amount that, when subtracted
         from the Conversion Date Amount of each Lender's Term Loan, shall
         result in the Conversion Date Amount at the end of such calendar year
         being reduced by a percentage at least equal to the percentage set
         forth below opposite such year:

                 The remaining unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans shall
         be repaid by the Borrower on the Stated Maturity Date.

                 Prior to the Stated Maturity Date, the Borrower:

                          (a)     may, from time to time on any Business Day,
                 make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the
                 outstanding principal amount of any Term Loans; provided,
                 however, that:

<PAGE>   25
                                  (i)      any such prepayment shall be made
                          pro rata among Loans of the same type and, if
                          applicable, having the same Interest Period of all
                          Lenders;

                                  (ii)     no such prepayment of any LIBO Rate
                          Loan may be made on any day other than the last day
                          of the Interest Period for such Loan unless the
                          Borrower shall have paid directly to any Lender any
                          amounts required under Section 4.4;

                                  (iii)    all such voluntary prepayments shall
                          require at least three but no more than five Business
                          Days' prior notice to the Agent in the case of LIBO
                          Rate Loans, and at least one but no more than five
                          Business Days' prior notice to the Agent in the case
                          of Base Rate Loans; and

                                  (iv)     all such voluntary partial
                          prepayments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount
                          of $500,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000;

                          (b)     shall, on each date when any reduction in the
                 Commitment Amount shall become effective, including pursuant
                 to Section 2.2, make a mandatory prepayment of all Revolving
                 Loans equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate
                 outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans over the
                 Commitment Amount as so reduced; and

                          (c)     shall, immediately upon any acceleration of
                 any Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, repay all
                 Loans, unless, pursuant to Section 8.3, only a portion of all
                 Loans is so accelerated.

         Each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to clause (a)
         shall be applied, to the extent of such prepayment, in the inverse
         order of the scheduled repayments of Term Loans set forth in this
         Section 3.1. Each prepayment of any Term Loans made pursuant to this
         Section shall be (i) without premium or penalty and (ii) made together
         with any amounts required to be paid under Section 4.4. No voluntary
         prepayment of principal of any Revolving Loans shall cause a reduction
         in the Commitment Amount.

                 SECTION 3.2. EXCESS CASH FLOW RECAPTURE. In addition to any
         and all scheduled repayments of the Term Loans as set forth in Section
         3.1 above, the Borrower shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days
         after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Borrower, commencing with the
         end of the 1996 Fiscal Year, pay to the Agent an amount equal to
         seventy-five percent (75%) of Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower for the
         immediately preceding Fiscal Year. Such prepayments of Excess Cash





                                      -24-
<PAGE>   26
         Flow shall be applied to the payment of installments of the
         outstanding principal amount of each Lender's Term Loans (including,
         without limitation, the installment due and payable on the Stated
         Maturity Date) due and payable hereunder in inverse order of maturity.

                 SECTION 3.3. INTEREST PROVISIONS. Interest on the outstanding
         principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance
         with this Section 3.3.

                          SECTION 3.3.1. RATES. Pursuant to an appropriately
                 completed and delivered Borrowing Request or
                 Continuation/Conversion Notice, the Borrower may elect that
                 Loans comprising a Borrowing accrue interest at a rate per
                 annum:

                                  (a)      on that portion maintained from time
                          to time as a Base Rate Loan, equal to the sum of the
                          Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus
                          the Applicable Margin; and

                                  (b)      on that portion maintained as a LIBO
                          Rate Loan, during each Interest Period applicable
                          thereto, equal to the sum of the LIBO Rate (Reserve
                          Adjusted) for such Interest Period plus the
                          Applicable Margin.

                 The Applicable Margin for each type of Loan shall change
         automatically on the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered in
         accordance with Section 7.1.1 (b) and (c) indicating a change in the
         then existing Leverage Ratio mandating a change in such margins;
         provided, however, that if such Compliance Certificate is not
         delivered within the time required by such Section, such change in
         such margins shall, upon ultimate delivery of such Compliance
         Certificate, be deemed nevertheless to have been effective on and as
         of the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to be
         delivered pursuant to such Section.

                 The "LIBO RATE (RESERVE ADJUSTED)" means, relative to any Loan
         to be made, continued or maintained as, or converted into, a LIBO Rate
         Loan for any Interest Period, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if
         necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%) determined pursuant to the
         following formula:

<TABLE>
         <S>                      <C>      <C>
         LIBOR                    =        LIBO Rate
                                           ---------
         (Reserve Adjusted)                1.00 - LIBOR Reserve Percentage
</TABLE>

                 The LIBO Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for any Interest Period for
         LIBO Rate Loans will be determined by the Agent on the basis of the
         LIBOR Reserve Percentage in effect on, and the applicable rates
         furnished to and


                                      -25-
<PAGE>   27
         received by the Agent from Shawmut, two Business Days before the first
         day of such Interest Period.

                 "LIBO RATE" means, relative to any Interest Period for LIBO
         Rate Loans, the rate of interest equal to the average (rounded
         upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%) of the rates per
         annum at which Dollar deposits in immediately available funds are
         offered to Shawmut's LIBOR Office in the London interbank market as at
         or about 11:00 a.m. London time two Business Days prior to the
         beginning of such Interest Period for delivery on the first day of
         such Interest Period, and in an amount approximately equal to the
         amount of Shawmut's LIBO Rate Loan and for a period approximately
         equal to such Interest Period.

                 "LIBOR RESERVE PERCENTAGE" means for any day the reserve
         percentage (expressed as a decimal) equal to the maximum aggregate
         reserve requirements (including all basic, emergency, supplemental,
         marginal and other reserves and taking into account any transitional
         adjustments or other scheduled changes in reserve requirements)
         specified under regulations issued from time to time by the F.R.S.
         Board and then applicable to assets or liabilities consisting of and
         including "EUROCURRENCY LIABILITIES", as currently defined in
         Regulation D of the F.R.S. Board, having a term approximately equal or
         comparable to such Interest Period.

                 All LIBO Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the
         first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the
         last day of such Interest Period by reference to the interest rate
         determined as applicable to such LIBO Rate Loans.

                          SECTION 3.3.2.. POST-MATURITY RATES. After the date
                 any principal amount of any Loan is due and payable (whether
                 on the Stated Maturity Date, in connection with any mandatory
                 reduction of the Commitment Amount or mandatory prepayment
                 hereunder, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other
                 monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and
                 payable, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent not
                 prohibited by applicable law, interest (after as well as
                 before judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to
                 the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.0%.

                          SECTION 3.3.3. PAYMENT DATES. Interest accrued on each
                 Loan shall be payable without duplication:

                                  (a)      on the Conversion Date with respect
                          to Revolving Loans, and on the Stated Maturity Date
                          with respect to Term Loans;

                          required payment or prepayment, in whole or in part,
                          of principal outstanding on such Loan;

                                  (c)      with respect to Base Rate Loans, on
                          each Quarterly Payment Date occurring after the
                          Effective Date;

                                  (d)      with respect to any LIBO Rate Loans,
                          on the last day of each applicable Interest Period
                          (and, if such Interest Period shall exceed 3 months,
                          on the last calendar day of the 3rd month of such
                          Interest Period and the last calendar day of each
                          subsequent 3rd month of such Interest Period
                          thereafter);

                                  (e)      with respect to any Base Rate Loans
                          converted into LIBO Rate Loans on a day when interest
                          would not otherwise have been payable pursuant to
                          clause (c), on the date of such conversion; and

                                  (f)      on that portion of any Loans which
                          is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3
                          immediately upon such acceleration.

                          Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary
                 Obligations arising under this Agreement or any other Loan
                 Document after the date such amount is due and payable
                 (whether on the Stated Maturity Date, in connection with any
                 mandatory reduction of the Commitment Amount or mandatory
                 prepayment hereunder, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be
                 payable upon demand.

                 SECTION 3.4. FEES. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set
         forth in this Section 3.4. All such fees shall be nonrefundable.

                          SECTION 3.4.1. COMMITMENT FEE. The Borrower agrees to
                 pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, for the
                 period (including any portion thereof when any of such
                 Lender's Commitments are suspended by reason of the Borrower's
                 inability to satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on
                 the Effective Date and continuing through the Commitment
                 Termination Date, a commitment fee at the rate of 3/8 of 1%
                 per annum on such Lender's Percentage of the sum of the

                          SECTION 3.4.2. AGENT'S FEE. The Borrower agrees to
                 timely pay to the Agent, for the Agent's own account, the fees
                 provided for in the Agent's Fee Letter.

                          SECTION 3.4.3. FACILITY FEE. The Borrower agrees to

                 nonrefundable facility fee as set forth in the Fee Letter.

                                   ARTICLE 4.
                     CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

                 SECTION 4.1. LIBO RATE LENDING UNLAWFUL. If any Lender shall
         determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the
         Borrower and the other Lenders, be conclusive and binding on the
         Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the
         interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or
         other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such
         Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan as, or to convert any
         Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan, the obligations of all Lenders to make,
         continue, maintain or convert into any such Loans shall, upon such
         determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify
         the Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
         exist, and all LIBO Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Base
         Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with
         respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

                 SECTION 4.2. DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE. If the Agent shall have
         determined, or shall be informed by a Lender, that

                          (a)     Dollar certificates of deposit or Dollar
                 deposits, as the case may be, in the relevant amount and for
                 the relevant Interest Period are not available to Shawmut or
                 such Lender in its relevant market; or

                          (b)     by reason of circumstances affecting such
                 relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining
                 the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans,

                 then, upon notice from the Agent to the Borrower and the
         Lenders of such fact, the obligations of all Lenders under Sections
         2.3 and Section 2.4 to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert
         any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the
         Agent shall determine, or be informed, that and, in either case, shall
         give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders that, the
         circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

                 SECTION 4.3. INCREASED LIBO RATE LOAN COSTS, ETC. The Borrower
         agrees to reimburse each Lender for any increase in the cost to such
         Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum, receivable by
         such Lender in respect of, making, continuing or maintaining (or of
         its obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Loans as, or of
         converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into, LIBO Rate
         Loans. Such Lender shall, within ninety (90) days of its actual
         knowledge of such event, notify the Agent and the Borrower in writing
         of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in
         reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount
         required fully to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
         reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the
         Borrower directly to such Lender within five days of its receipt of
         such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error,
         be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

                 SECTION 4.4. FUNDING LOSSES. In the event any Lender shall
         incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by
         reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
         acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of
         the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the
         principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan) as a result of:

                          (a)     any conversion or repayment or prepayment of
                 the principal amount of any LIBO Rate Loans on a date other
                 than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable
                 thereto, whether pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise;

                          (b)     any Loans not being made as LIBO Rate Loans
                 in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor; or

                          (c)     any Loans not being continued as, or
                 converted into, LIBO Rate Loans in accordance with the
                 Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor,

                 then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower
         (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall, within five days of
         its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will
         (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender
         for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include
         calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest
         error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

                 SECTION 4.5. INCREASED CAPITAL COSTS. If any change in, or the
         introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation,
         reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive,
         guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of
         law) of any court, central bank,





                                      -29-
<PAGE>   31
         regulator or other governmental authority affects or would affect the
         amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender
         or any Person controlling such Lender, and such Lender determines (in
         its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or
         such controlling Person's capital as a consequence of its Commitments
         or the Loans made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that
         which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but
         for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case
         upon notice from time to time by such Lender to the Borrower, the
         Borrower shall, within five (5) days after receipt of such notice, pay
         directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate
         such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of
         return. A statement of such Lender as to any such additional amount or
         amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall,
         in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the
         Borrower. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
         reasonable method of averaging and attribution that it shall deem
         applicable.

                 SECTION 4.6. TAXES. All payments by the Borrower of principal
         of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder
         shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present
         or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes,
         fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever
         imposed by any taxing authority ("TAXES"), but excluding (i) Taxes
         imposed on any Lender's net income (including, without limitation, any
         Taxes imposed on branch profits) and franchise Taxes imposed on any
         Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is
         organized or any political subdivision thereof or by the jurisdiction
         of such Lender's lending office, (ii) any Taxes that are in effect and
         that would apply to a payment to such Lender as of the Effective Date,
         (iii) if any Person acquires any interest in this Agreement or any
         Note pursuant to the provisions hereof, including without limitation a
         participation (whether or not by operation of law), or a foreign
         Lender changes the office in which its Loan is made, accounted for or
         booked (any such Person or such foreign Lender in that event being
         referred to as a "TAX TRANSFEREE"), any Taxes to the extent that they
         are in effect and would apply to a payment to such Tax Transferee as
         of the date of the acquisition of such interest or change in office,
         as the case may be, and (iv) Taxes which are otherwise included in any
         amounts otherwise payable by the Borrower pursuant to any other
         provision of this Agreement (all such non-excluded Taxes being
         hereinafter referred to as "NON-EXCLUDED TAXES"). In the event that
         any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the
         Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes
         pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower
         will:


                                      -30-
<PAGE>   32
                          (a)     pay directly to the relevant authority the
                 full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

                          (b)     promptly forward to the Agent an official
                 receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent
                 evidencing such payment to such authority; and

                          (c)     pay to the Agent for the account of the
                 Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to
                 ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender
                 will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had
                 no such withholding or deduction been required.

                 Moreover, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly asserted
         against the Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received
         by the Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Agent or such Lender may,
         but is not obligated to, pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Borrower
         will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties,
         interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount
         received by such Person after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes
         (including any Non-Excluded Taxes on such additional amount) shall
         equal the amount such Person would have received had not such
         Non-Excluded Taxes been asserted. Within 30 days after the date that
         any Lender or any Tax Transferee receives a refund of any Non-Excluded
         Taxes which the Borrower has paid to the relevant taxing authority or
         for which such Lender has been paid by the Borrower pursuant to the
         indemnification provisions of this Section, such Lender or Tax
         Transferee, as the case may be, shall pay to the Borrower such refund
         of Non-Excluded Taxes along with any interest received with respect
         thereto.

                 If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes, when due
         to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent,
         for the account of the respective Lenders, the required receipts or
         other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the
         Lenders for any incremental Non-Excluded Taxes, interest or penalties
         that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure.
         For purposes of this Section 4.6, a disbursement hereunder by the
         Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be
         deemed a Borrowing by the Borrower.

                 Upon the request of the Borrower and/or the Agent, each Lender
         that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the
         United States shall, prior to the due date of any payments under the
         Notes, execute and deliver to the Borrower and/or the Agent on or
         about the first scheduled payment date in each Fiscal Year, one or
         more (as the Borrower or the Agent, may reasonably request) United
         States Internal Revenue

         Service Forms 4224 or Forms 1001 or such other forms or documents (or
         successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be
         applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such
         Lender is exempt from withholding or deduction of Non-Excluded Taxes.

                 SECTION 4.7. PAYMENTS, COMPUTATIONS, ETC. Unless otherwise
         expressly provided, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to this
         Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made by the
         Borrower to the Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled
         to receive such payment. All such payments required to be made to the
         Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not
         later than 12:00 noon, Hartford, Connecticut time, on the date due, in
         same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Agent
         shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds
         received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the
         Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Agent shall promptly
         remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such
         payments received by the Agent for the account of such Lender
         (provided, that, any such funds remitted after the date received shall
         be remitted with interest accrued thereon at the Federal Funds Rate).
         All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual
         number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
         occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable
         over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a
         Base Rate Loan (other then when such interest is calculated with
         respect to the Federal Funds Rate), 365 days or, if appropriate, 366
         days). Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day
         which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise
         required by clauses (c) or (d) of the definition of the term "Interest
         Period") be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such
         extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if
         any, in connection with such payment.

                 SECTION 4.8. SHARING OF PAYMENTS. If any Lender shall obtain
         any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by
         application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than
         pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6) in excess of
         its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all
         Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such
         participations in Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause
         such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery
         ratably with each of them; provided, however, of that if all or any
         portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter
         recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded
         and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing
         Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the
         ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such
         selling Lender's ratable share (according to


                                      -32-
<PAGE>   34
         the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Lender's required
         repayment to the purchasing Lender; to (b) the total amount so
         recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount
         paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total
         amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing
         a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to
         the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
         payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such
         participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of
         the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any
         applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender
         receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section
         applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its
         rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with
         the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the
         benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

                 SECTION 4.9. SETOFF. Each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of
         any Default described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 8.1.8 or,
         with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence of any
         other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the
         payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and
         (as security for such Obligations) the Borrower hereby grants to each
         Leader a continuing security interest in, any and all balances,
         credits, deposits accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or
         thereafter maintained with or otherwise held by such Lender; Provided,
         however, that any such appropriation and application shall be subject
         to the provisions of Section 4.8. Each Lender agrees promptly to
         notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such setoff and
         application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure
         to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
         application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
         addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
         setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

                                   ARTICLE 5.
                            CONDITIONS TO BORROWING

                 SECTION 5.1. INITIAL BORROWING. The obligations of the Lenders
         to fund the initial Borrowing shall be subject to the prior or
         concurrent satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth
         in this Section 5.l.

                          SECTION 5.1.1. GENERAL PARTNER'S CERTIFICATE. The
                 Agent shall have received from the General Partner, a
                 certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
                 General Partner, dated the date of the initial Borrowing:

                          are true and correct and in full force and effect on
                          the date of the initial Borrowing, together with a
                          certificate of good standing for the Borrower issued
                          by the jurisdiction in which it is organized, and
                          dated as of a date reasonably close to the date of
                          the initial Borrowing;

                                  (b)      with respect to the General
                          Partner's Organic Documents, that the copies thereof
                          attached are true and correct and in full force and
                          effect on the date of the initial Borrowing, copies
                          of which shall be attached thereto, together with a
                          certificate of good standing for the General Partner
                          issued by the jurisdiction in which it is organized,
                          and dated as of a date reasonably close to the date
                          of the initial Borrowing;

                                  (c)      all action necessary for the
                          execution, delivery and performance of this
                          Agreement, the Note, and each other Loan Document by
                          the General Partner, as the general partner of the
                          Borrower, together with copies of all resolutions to
                          such effect attached thereto; and

                                  (d)      the incumbency and signatures of
                          those officers of the General Partner authorized to
                          act on behalf of and bind the General Partner, in its
                          capacity as the general partner of the Borrower, with
                          respect to this Agreement, the Note and each other
                          Loan Document.

                 Each Lender may conclusively rely upon each certificate
                 referenced above until it shall have received a further
                 certificate from the General Partner canceling or amending
                 such prior certificates.

                          SECTION 5.1.2. DELIVERY OF NOTES. The Agent shall
                 have received each Lender's Note, in each case, duly executed
                 and delivered by the Borrower.

                          SECTION 5.1.3. PAYMENT OF OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS,
                 ETC. All Indebtedness identified in Item 7.2.2(b)
                 ("Indebtedness to be Paid") of the Disclosure Schedule,
                 together with all interest, prepayment premiums and other
                 amounts due and payable with respect thereto, shall have been
                 paid in full (including, to the extent necessary, from
                 proceeds of the initial Borrowing); all Liens securing payment
                 of any such Indebtedness shall have been released; and the
                 Agent shall have received all Uniform Commercial Code Form
                 UCC-3 termination Statements or other instruments as





                                      -34-

                 may be necessary or appropriate to release such Liens
                 (including the Lien held by Shawmut under the Existing Credit
                 Agreement), in each case, duly executed and completed by the
                 holders of such Liens and in a form suitable for filing.

                          SECTION 5.1.4. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Agent shall
                 have received executed counterparts of the Security Agreement,
                 dated as of the date hereof, duly executed by the Borrower,
                 together with

                          (Form UCC-1), or such other evidence of filing as may
                          be acceptable to the Agent, naming the Borrower as
                          the debtor and the Agent as the secured party, as
                          agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, or other
                          similar instruments or documents, as may be necessary
                          or, in the opinion of the Agent, desirable to perfect
                          the security interest of the Agent pursuant to the
                          Security Agreement.

                          Commercial Code Form UCC-3 termination statements, if
                          any, necessary to release all Liens and other rights
                          of any Person in any collateral described the
                          Security Agreement previously granted by any Person
                          (other than with respect to collateral subject to
                          Capitalized Leases and purchase money Liens permitted
                          hereunder) together with such other Uniform

                 of such Borrowing (both immediately before and after giving

         operations or prospects (with respect to the Borrower's ability to pay
         or repay the Obligations) of the Borrower, or any Subsidiary, or which

         service marks and copyrights), free and clear of all Liens, charges or
         claims (including infringement claims with respect to patents,
         trademarks, copyrights and the like) except as permitted pursuant to
         Section 7.2.3.

                 SECTION 6.10. TAXES. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
         has filed all tax returns and reports required by law to have been

         any Plan or multiemployer Plan.

                 SECTION 6.12. ENVIRONMENTAL WARRANTIES. To the best of the
         Borrower's knowledge, all facilities and property (including

         provided in F.R.S. Board Regulation G, U or X or any regulations
         substituted therefor, as from time to time in effect, are used in this

                 SECTION 6.14. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION.

                          (a)     All factual information heretofore or
                 contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or
                 the General Partner in writing to the Agent or any Lender for
                 purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any
                 transaction contemplated hereby is, and all other such factual
                 information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the
                 Borrower or the General Partner in writing to the Agent or any
                 Lender will be, true and accurate in every material respect on
                 the date as of which such information is dated or certified
                 and as of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement
                 by the Agent and such Lender, and such information is not, or
                 shall not be, as the case may be, incomplete by omitting to
                 state any material fact necessary to make such information not
                 misleading.

                          (b)     All of the information set forth in the
                 Disclosure Schedule and the Cable Schedule is true and
                 accurate in every material respect as of the Effective Date.

                 SECTION 6.15. CABLE AUTHORIZATIONS. The Cable Schedule
         accurately and completely lists all CATV and SMATV systems currently
         owned by the Borrower, and all Franchises issued or granted to the
         Borrower (such Franchises, together with all renewals and extensions
         thereof, are referred to collectively as the "CABLE FRANCHISES"). The
         Cable Franchises constitute the only material Franchises required or
         advisable in connection with the conduct by the Borrower of its
         business as presently conducted. All of the Cable Franchises are duly
         issued in the name of the Borrower (or are issued in some other name
         but have been duly and validly assigned to the Borrower), the Borrower
         has full power and authority to operate thereunder, and each such
         Cable Franchise will expire on the date set forth for such Cable
         Franchise in the Cable Schedule. All assets of the Cable Systems and
         all Cable Franchises,





                                      -42-
<PAGE>   44
         contracts, agreements and other things necessary or advisable in
         connection with the present or proposed operation of the Cable Systems
         shall at all times be owned (or leased on terms and conditions
         permitted hereunder) and held by the Borrower. The Cable Schedule
         accurately and completely lists all agreements, if any, which are
         presently in effect with public utilities for the use of public
         utility facilities in connection with the Cable Systems. The Borrower
         has the right and authority (contractual, by law or otherwise) to
         provide pay television and related services to subscribers. The Cable
         Schedule accurately and completely lists (i) all deeds, leases,
         leaseholds and other interests in real property held by the Borrower,
         together with accurate legal descriptions of all such real property
         owned or leased by the Borrower, and (ii) all Pole Agreements and wire
         line crossing agreements to which the Borrower is a party. Other than
         the Cable Franchises, no Franchise has been granted with respect to
         the territory covered by the Cable Franchises, nor, to the best of the
         Borrower's knowledge, is any application for any such Franchise
         pending. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no overbuilding of
         any territory covered by the Cable Systems.

                 SECTION 6.16. FCC REGISTRATION AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. With
         respect to each of the Cable Systems, there is a registration
         statement on file with the FCC which fully complies with all
         applicable requirements of 47 C.F.R. Part 76, Subpart B. The Borrower
         is the holder of each of the FCC Licenses listed on the Cable
         Schedule, each of which has the effective and expiration dates noted
         on the Cable Schedule, and is, to the best of the Borrower's
         knowledge, lawfully issued (and continues to exist) pursuant to the
         rules and regulations of the FCC. The Borrower is presently in
         compliance in all material respects with all terms and conditions of
         all FCC Licenses covering the Cable Systems, all Federal, state and
         local laws, all rules, regulations and administrative orders of the
         FCC (other than with respect to compliance with regulations
         promulgated by the FCC regarding rates and codified at,47 C.F.R.
         Sections 76.922-76.924, with which, to the Borrower's knowledge, it is
         in compliance in all material respects) and all state and local
         commissions or authorities which are applicable to the Borrower or the
         operation of the Cable Systems (including, without limitation, those
         regarding signal leakage), and the foregoing permit any contemplated
         and continued operation of the Cable Systems without the obtaining of
         any further approvals, covenants, modifications or the taking of any
         other action of any kind or nature whatsoever. The Borrower has
         received no notice that any fact or any past, present or threatened
         occurrence would preclude or impair its ability to obtain any FCC
         License or other Franchise necessary for the operation of the Cable
         Systems as currently operated or as contemplated to be operated in any
         projections furnished to the Agent.

                 SECTION 6.17. FRANCHISES, COPYRIGHTS AND LICENSES. The
         Borrower possesses, or has the right to use, all FCC Licenses and all
         other Franchises, all copyrights, all licenses (including all cable
         television or broadcast licenses), all rights under agreements with
         public utilities and microwave transmission companies, Pole
         Agreements, and all utility easements and other rights, the absence of
         which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the
         business, properties, operations or conditions, financial or
         otherwise, or prospects (with respect to the Borrower's ability to pay
         or repay the Obligations) of the Borrower, each of which is in full
         force and effect and with which the Borrower is in compliance in all
         material respects, with no known conflict with the rights of others
         which could affect or impair in any material manner the businesses,
         properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, or
         prospects (with respect to the Borrower's ability to pay or repay the
         Obligations) of the Borrower. The General Partner or any other
         Affiliate of the Borrower providing services to the Borrower, has
         obtained all licenses, permits, authorizations and Franchises
         necessary for the ownership of its properties used in providing
         services to the Cable Systems, the conduct of its businesses in
         connection with the Cable Systems as currently operated or as
         contemplated to be operated (as described in any written projections
         furnished to the Agent or the Lenders on or prior to the Effective
         Date), in all instances in which the failure to have obtained such
         licenses, permits, authorizations and Franchises could have a material
         adverse impact on the businesses, properties, operations or condition,
         financial or otherwise, of the Borrower. To the best of the Borrower's
         knowledge, no event has occurred which permits, or after the giving of
         notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit, the revocation or
         termination of any Cable Franchise, or any copyright, license, permit,
         authorization or other right of the FCC so as to adversely affect in
         any material manner the businesses, properties, operations or
         condition, financial or otherwise, or prospects (with respect to the
         Borrower's ability to pay or repay the Obligations) of the Borrower.

                 SECTION 6.18. COMMUNICATIONS ACT FILINGS. The Borrower has
         duly and timely filed all cable television registration statements and
         other filings which are required to be filed under the Communications
         Act, and has complied in all other material respects with the
         Communications Act (other than with respect to compliance with
         regulations promulgated by the FCC regarding rates and codified at 47
         C.F.R. Sections 76.922-76.924, with which, to the best of Borrower's
         knowledge, it is in compliance in all material respects), including,
         without limitation, the rules and regulations of the FCC relating to
         the carriage of television signals. The Borrower has recorded or
         deposited with and paid to the United States Copyright Office, the
         Register of Copyrights and the Copyright Royalty Tribunal, all
         notices, statements of account, royalty fees and other documents,
         instruments and amounts required under the Copyright Act,


                                      -44-

         and is not liable to any person for copyright infringement under the
         Copyright Act.

                 SECTION 6.19. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT. The Partnership Agreement
         is in full force and effect and no default or event which, with the
         passage of time or notice or both, would constitute a default has
         occurred and is continuing thereunder.

                 SECTION 6.20. NO EVENT OF DEFAULT. No Default or Event of
         Default has occurred and is continuing.

                 SECTION 6.21. ABSENCE OF FINANCING STATEMENTS, ETC. Except
         with respect to Liens permitted hereunder, there is no financing
         statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage
         or other document filed or recorded with any filing records, registry
         or other public office, that purports to cover, affect or give notice
         of any present or possible future lien on, or security interest in,
         any assets or property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
         any rights relating thereto.

                 SECTION 6.22. MANAGEMENT FEES, ALLOCATED OVERHEAD AND GENERAL
         PARTNER ADVANCES. Except as set forth in Item 6.22 of the Disclosure
         Schedule, there are no Management Fees, Allocated Overhead and/or
         General Partner Advances outstanding as of September 30, 1994.

                                   ARTICLE 7.
                                   COVENANTS

                 SECTION 7.1. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. The Borrower agrees with
         the Agent and each Lender that, until all Commitments have terminated
         and all Obligations have been paid and performed in full, the Borrower
         will perform the obligations set forth in this Section 7.1.

                          SECTION 7.1.1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, REPORTS,
                 NOTICES, ETC. The Borrower will furnish, or will cause to be

                 Lenders) copies of the following financial statements,
                 reports, notices and information:

                 The Borrower shall pay any fees of such independent public
                 accountants incurred in connection with the Agent's or, during

                 interest when added together with the fair market value of all

                 own cost and expense, takes all steps necessary to grant the
                 Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a first priority

                 legal opinions with respect thereto as the Agent may
                 reasonably request.

                 granted to or obtained by the Borrower, the cancellation or
                 termination of which would have a material adverse effect on
                 the Borrower or the continued operation of the Cable Systems
                 viewed as a whole (collectively, for purposes of this Section

                 business, operations, financial condition or prospects (with
                 respect to the Borrower's ability to pay or repay the

                                   ARTICLE 9.
                                   THE AGENT

                 SECTION 9.1. ACTIONS. Each Lender hereby appoints Shawmut as
         it its Agent under and for purposes of this Agreement, the Notes and
         each


                                      -60-
<PAGE>   62
         other Loan Document. Each Lender authorizes the Agent to act on behalf
         of such Lender under this Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan
         Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the
         Required Lenders received from time to time by the Agent (with respect
         to which the Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise
         provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel), to
         exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically
         delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof,
         together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto.
         Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any
         termination of this Agreement) the Agent, pro rata according to such
         Lender's Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities,
         obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or
         nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or
         asserted against, the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of
         this Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document, including
         reasonable attorneys' fees; provided, however, that no Lender shall be
         liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
         obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are
         determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding
         to have resulted solely from the Agent's gross negligence or willful
         misconduct. The Agent shall not be required to take any action
         hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document, or to
         prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement, the Notes
         or any other Loan Document, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its
         satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the Agent shall be or
         become, in the Agent's determination, inadequate, the Agent may call
         for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the
         acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is
         given.

                 SECTION 9.2. FUNDING RELIANCE, ETC. Unless the Agent shall
         have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender
         by 5:00 p.m., Hartford, Connecticut time, on the day prior to a
         Borrowing that such Lender will not make available the amount which
         would constitute its Percentage of such Borrowing on the date
         specified therefor, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made
         such amount available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such
         assumption, may make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.
         If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount
         available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree
         to repay the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
         together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Agent
         made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is
         repaid to the Agent, in the case of the Borrower, at the rate of
         interest then applicable for Base Rate Loans, and in the case of any
         Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate.





                                      -61-
<PAGE>   63
                 SECTION 9.3. EXCULPATION. Neither the Agent nor any of its
         directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender
         for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement
         or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith,
         except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor
         responsible for any recitals or warranties herein or therein, nor for
         the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this
         Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor for the creation, perfection
         or priority of any liens purported to be created by any of the Loan
         Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence,
         value or sufficiency of any collateral security, nor to make any
         inquiry respecting the performance by the Borrower of its obligations
         hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Any such inquiry which may
         be made by the Agent shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry
         or to take any action. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice
         of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent,
         certificate, statement or writing which the Agent believes to be
         genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.

                 SECTION 9.4. SUCCESSOR. The Agent may resign as such at any
         time. If the Agent at any time shall resign, the Borrower may appoint
         another Lender as a successor Agent which shall thereupon become the
         Agent hereunder, provided, however, that the appointment of any Lender
         which was not a Lender on the Effective Date shall be subject to the
         prior written approval of the Required Lenders, which approval shall
         not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent shall have been so
         appointed by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment,
         within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving notice of
         resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Borrower,
         appoint a successor Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or a
         commercial banking institution organized or licensed under the laws of
         the U.S. (or any State thereof) or a U.S. branch or agency of a
         commercial banking institution, and having combined capital, surplus
         and undivided profits of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of
         any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
         successor Agent shall be entitled to receive from the retiring Agent
         such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Agent may
         reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested
         with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent,
         and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
         obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's
         resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of

                          (a)     this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as
                 to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
                 the Agent under this Agreement; and

<PAGE>   64
                          (b)     Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 shall continue
                 to inure to its benefit.

                 SECTION 9.5. LOANS BY SHAWMUT. Shawmut shall have the same
         rights and powers with respect to (x) the Loans made by it or any of
         its Affiliates, and (y) the Notes held by it or any of its Affiliates
         as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not the
         Agent. Shawmut and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
         to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or
         any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if Shawmut were not the
         Agent hereunder.

                 SECTION 9.6. CREDIT DECISIONS. Each Lender acknowledges that
         it has, independently of the Agent and each other Lender, and based on
         such Lender's review of the financial information of the Borrower,
         this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of
         which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents,
         information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate,
         made its own credit decision to extend its Commitments. Each Lender
         also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Agent and each
         other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and
         investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any timer continue to
         make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from
         time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this
         Agreement or any other Loan Document

                 SECTION 9.7. DEFAULTING LENDERS. Notwithstanding anything to
         the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
         Documents, any Lender that fails (i) to make available to the Agent
         its pro rata share of any Loan or (ii) to comply with the provisions
         of Section 4.8 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements
         with the other Lenders, where such Lender's share of any payment
         received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata
         share of such payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, in each
         case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of
         this Credit Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a "DELINQUENT
         LENDER") and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as
         such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to
         have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower,
         whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise,
         to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and
         reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding
         Loans. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute
         such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their
         respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. A Delinquent
         Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when
         and if, as a result of application of the


                                      -63-
<PAGE>   65
         assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent
         Lenders, the Lenders' respective pro rata shares of all outstanding
         Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such
         delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such
         delinquency.

                 SECTION 9.8. HOLDERS OF NOTES. The Agent may deem and treat
         the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for
         all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with
         a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or
         transferee.

                 SECTION 9.9. DISCLOSURE. The Borrower agrees that in addition
         to disclosures made in accordance with standard and customary banking
         practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender
         pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential
         assignees or participants hereunder; provided that such assignees or
         participants or potential assignees or participants shall agree (a) to
         treat in confidence such information unless such information otherwise
         becomes public knowledge, (b) not to disclose such information to a
         third party, except as required by law or legal process and (c) not to
         make use of such information for purposes of transactions unrelated to
         such contemplated assignment or participation.

                 SECTION 9.10. ASSIGNEE OR PARTICIPANT AFFILIATED WITH THE
         BORROWER. If any assignee Lender is an Affiliate of the Borrower, then
         any such assignee Lender shall have no right to vote as a Lender
         hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes of
         granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments
         or other modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for purposes of
         making requests to the Agent pursuant to Section 8.3, and the
         determination of the Required Lenders shall for all purposes of this
         Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to such
         assignee Lender's interest in any of the Loans. If any Lender sells a
         participating interest in any of the Loans to a participant, and such
         participant is the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower, then such
         transferor Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of the sale of such
         participation. A transferor Lender shall have no right to vote as a
         Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes
         of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to
         amendments or modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for
         purposes of making requests to the Agent pursuant to Section 8.3 to
         the extent that such participation is beneficially owned by the
         Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, and the determination of
         the Required Lenders shall for all purposes of this Agreement and the
         other Loan Documents be made without regard to the interest of such
         transferor Lender in the Loans to the extent of such participation.

                 SECTION 9.11. COPIES, ETC. The Agent shall give prompt notice
         to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be
         given to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this
         Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the
         Borrower). The Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or
         instrument received for its account and copies of all other
         communications received by the Agent from the Borrower for
         distribution to the Lenders by the Agent in accordance with the terms
         of this Agreement.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Agreement and of each other Loan Document may from time to time be
         amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver
         is in writing and consented to by the Borrower and the Required
         Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification or
         waiver which would:

                          (a)     modify any requirement hereunder that any
                 particular action be taken by all the Lenders or by the
                 Required Lenders shall be effective unless consented to by
                 each Lender;

                          (b)     modify this Section 10.1, change the
                 definition of "REQUIRED LENDERS", increase any Commitment
                 Amount or change the Percentage of any Lender, reduce any fees
                 described in Article III, release any collateral security,
                 except as otherwise specifically provided in any Loan Document
                 or extend any Commitment Termination Date shall be made
                 without the consent of each Lender and each holder of a Note;

                          (c)     extend the due date for, or reduce or forgive
                 the amount of, any scheduled reduction of the Commitment
                 Amount or any scheduled repayment or prepayment of principal
                 of or interest on any Loan (or reduce the principal amount of
                 or rate of interest on any Loan) shall be made without the
                 consent of the holder of that Note evidencing such Loan; or

                          (d)     affect adversely the interests, rights or
                 obligations of the Agent qua the Agent shall be made without
                 consent of the Agent

No failure or delay on the part of the Agent, any Lender or the holder of any
Note in exercising any power or right under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on
the





                                      -65-

Borrower in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Agent, any Lender or the
holder of any Note under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall,
except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to
subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any
similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

                 SECTION 10.2. NOTICES. All notices and other communications
         provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan

                 SECTION 10.3. PAYMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Borrower
         agrees to pay on demand all reasonable expenses of the Agent
         (including the fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of counsel
         to the Agent and of local counsel) in connection with:

                          (a)     the negotiation, preparation, syndication,

         respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively,
         the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") free and harmless from and against any and

         LIABILITIES"), incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them as a

                 Agreement and any other Loan Document by any of the
                 Indemnified Parties (including any action brought by or on

                 seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, discharging
                 or releases from, any real property owned or operated by the
                 Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Hazardous Materials
                 (including any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs,
                 expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental
                 Law), regardless of whether caused by, or within the control

except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a
particular Indemnified Party solely by reason of the relevant Indemnified
Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If and to the extent that the

         warranties made by the Borrower and the General Partner in this
         Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution
         and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document.

                 SECTION 10.6. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement or
         any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
         jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be
         ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability
         without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or
         such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
         provision in any other jurisdiction.

                 SECTION 10.7. HEADINGS. The various headings of this Agreement
         and of each other Loan Document are inserted for convenience only and
         shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or
         such other Loan Document or any provisions hereof or thereof.

                 SECTION 10.8. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS, EFFECTIVENESS. This
         Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several
         counterparts, by hand or facsimile signatures, each of Which shall be
         deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall
         constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become

         the Agent) shall have been received by the Agent and notice thereof
         shall have been given by the Agent to the Borrower, the General
         Partner and each Lender.

         PROVISIONS THEREOF. This Agreement, the Notes and the other

         Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties
         hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any
         prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

                 SECTION 10.10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be
         binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and

                          (b)     the rights of sale, assignment and transfer
                 of the Lenders are subject to Section 10.11.

                 SECTION 10.11. SALE AND TRANSFER OF LOANS AND NOTES;
         PARTICIPATION IN LOANS AND NOTES. Each Lender may assign, or sell

         Persons in accordance with this Section 10.11.

                          SECTION 10.11.1. ASSIGNMENTS. Any Lender may at any
                 time assign and delegate to one or more commercial banks or
                 other financial institutions (each Person to whom such
                 assignment and delegation is to be made, being hereinafter
                 referred to as an "ASSIGNEE LENDER"), a percentage of such
                 Lender's total Loans and Commitments (which assignment and
                 delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying,
                 percentage of the assigning Lender's Loans and Commitments);

                 be the registered holder of an aggregate principal amount of
                 Loans and Commitments at least equal to $12,500,000.00
                 multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to
                 $25,000,000 minus the aggregate principal amount of scheduled
                 repayments of Loans made by the Borrower as, of the time of
                 the assignment and the denominator of which is $25,000,000,
                 (iii) Shawmut (or any subsequent Lender who is Agent) shall
                 never hold an aggregate principal amount of Loans and
                 Commitments which is less than any other lender holds and
                 (iv), in the case of a Lender, such Lender shall continue to
                 be the registered holder of at least fifty percent (50%) of
                 the aggregate principal amount of Loans and Commitments
                 originally held by such Lender. Each Assignee Lender must
                 furnish if applicable, the withholding tax exemption forms
                 required under Section 4.6. Additionally, the Borrower and the
                 Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and

                 with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned
                 and delegated to an Assignee Lender until:

                          (a)     written notice of such assignment and
                 delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and
                 related information with respect to such Assignee Lender,
                 shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by such
                 Lender and such Assignee Lender;

                          (b)     such Assignee Lender shall have executed and
                 delivered to the Borrower and the Agent a Lender Assignment
                 Agreement, accepted by the Agent; and

                          (c)     the processing fees described below shall
                 have been paid.

From and after the date that the Agent accepts a Lender Assignment Agreement,
(x) the Assignee Lender thereunder shall be deemed automatically to have become
a party hereto and to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned and delegated to such Assignee Lender in connection with such
Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and (y) the assigning Lender, to
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and
delegated by it in connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall be
released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice that the Agent has
received an executed Lender Assignment Agreement, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver to the Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee Lender) new
Notes evidencing such Assignee Lender's assigned Loans and Commitments and, if
the assigning Lender has retained Loans and Commitments hereunder, replacement
Notes in the principal amount of the Loans and Commitments retained by the
assigning Lender hereunder (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in
payment of, those Notes then held by the assigning Lender). Each such Note
shall be dated the date of the predecessor Notes. The assigning Lender shall
mark the predecessor Notes "EXCHANGED" and deliver them to the Borrower.
Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Notes evidenced by the new
Notes, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the Lender Assignment
Agreement. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Notes evidenced by
the replacement Notes shall be paid to the assigning Lender. Accrued interest
and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or time provided in the
predecessor Notes and in this Agreement. The assigning Lender or the Assignee
Lender must also pay a processing fee to the Agent upon delivery of any Lender
Assignment Agreement in the amount of $2,500. Any attempted assignment and
delegation not made in accordance with this Section 10.11.1 shall be null and
void. Nothing in this Section 10.11.1 shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from
pledging its rights (but not its obligations


                                      -70-
<PAGE>   72
to make Loans) under this Agreement and/or its Loans and/or its Notes hereunder
to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from
such Federal Reserve Bank.

                          SECTION 10.11.2. PARTICIPATIONS. Any Lender may at
                 any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons
                 (each of such commercial banks and other Persons being herein
                 called a "PARTICIPANT") participating interests in any of the
                 Loans, Commitments, or other interests of such Lender
                 hereunder; provided, however, that:

                                  (a)      no participation contemplated in
                          this Section 10.11.2 shall relieve such Lender from
                          its Commitments or its other obligations hereunder or
                          under any other Loan Document;

                                  (b)      such Lender shall remain solely
                          responsible for the performance or its Commitments
                          and such other obligations;

                                  (c)      the Borrower and the Agent shall
                          continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
                          in connection with such Lender's rights and
                          obligations under this Agreement and each of the
                          other Loan Documents;

                                  (d)      no Participant, unless such
                          Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender, or is
                          itself a Lender, shall be entitled to require such
                          Lender to take or refrain from taking any action
                          hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except
                          that such Lender may agree with any Participant that
                          such Lender will not, without such Participant's
                          consent, take any action of the type described in
                          clause (b) or (c) of Section 10.1; and

                                  (e)      the Borrower shall not be required
                          to pay any amount under Section 4.6 that is greater,
                          than the amount which it would have been required to
                          pay had no participating interest been sold.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes of
Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.9, 10.3 and 10.4, shall be considered a
Lender

                 SECTION 10.12. OTHER TRANSACTIONS. Nothing contained herein
         shall preclude the Agent or any other Lender from engaging in any
         transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or
         any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in
         which


                                      -71-
<PAGE>   73
         the Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging
         with any other Person.

                 SECTION 10.13. NONRECOURSE OBLIGATIONS. Anything contained in
         this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents to the contrary
         notwithstanding, in any action or proceeding brought on this
         Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness
         evidenced by the Notes, no deficiency judgment shall be enforced
         against the separate assets of the General Partner (other than
         distributions to the General Partner made in violation of Section
         7.2.6 or 7.2.7 hereof), and the liability of the General Partner for
         any amounts due under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
         Documents shall be limited to the interest of the General Partner in
         the collateral described in the Loan Documents, its interest in any
         other assets of the Borrower and any distributions made in violation
         of Section 7.2.6 or 7.2.7. Subject to the preceding sentence, the
         Agent may join any present or future general partners of the Borrower
         in their capacities as general partners, as defendants in any legal
         action it undertakes to enforce the Agent's and the Lenders' rights
         and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
         Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth herein
         shall be deemed to prohibit the Agent and the Lenders from taking
         legal action(s) and enforcing any judgment arising therefrom against a
         present or future general partner of the Borrower arising by reason of
         any fraud or intentional misconduct of such general partner.

                 SECTION 10.14. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY
         AGREES THAT ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT BY THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS AND
         BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS
         AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE
         OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE
         AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE GENERAL PARTNER OR THE BORROWER SHALL BE
         BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT OR IN
         THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR CONNECTICUT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
         THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER
         PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE AGENT'S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY
         JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. THE
         BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION
         OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT AND OF THE UNITED STATES
         DISTRICT COURT FOR CONNECTICUT FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION
         AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY
         NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH
         LITIGATION.


                                      -72-
<PAGE>   74
         THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY
         REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE TO THE
         BORROWER'S ADDRESS PROVIDED HEREIN. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND
         IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY
         OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF
         VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO
         ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN
         INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER
         MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY
         LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO
         JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO
         ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH
         IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
         OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

                 SECTION 10.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. THE AGENT, THE
         LENDERS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
         INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
         RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR
         IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY
         COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR
         WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE GENERAL PARTNER OR
         THE BORROWER. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS
         RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND
         EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A
         PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENT
         AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER LOAN
         DOCUMENT. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY
         RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION REFERRED TO IN
         THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 10.15 ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY,
         PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN
         ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE ABSENCE OF A COURT OF COMPETENT
         JURISDICTION'S FINAL NON-APPEALABLE FINDING THAT SUCH CLAIM AROSE
         SOLELY AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE AGENT'S AND/OR LENDERS' NEGLIGENCE OR
         WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AND, IN THE CASE OF SUCH A FINDING, THE AGENT OR
         LENDERS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, SHALL PAY ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S


                                      -73-
<PAGE>   75
         FEES AND COSTS INCURRED BY THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH
         FINDINGS. THE BORROWER (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
         ATTORNEY OF THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
         OTHERWISE, THAT THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
         FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
         HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
         TO WHICH THEY ARE A PARTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND
         CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.

                 SECTION 10.16. PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WAIVER. THE BORROWER
         ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FINANCING EVIDENCED HEREBY IS A COMMERCIAL
         TRANSACTION WITHIN THE MEANING OF CHAPTER 903a OF THE CONNECTICUT
         GENERAL STATUTES. THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO NOTICE AND
         PRIOR COURT HEARING OR COURT ORDERED UNDER CONNECTICUT GENERAL
         STATUTES SECTIONS 52-a ET. SEQ. AS AMENDED OR UNDER ANY OTHER STATE OR
         FEDERAL LAW WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL PREJUDGMENT REMEDIES THE AGENT
         AND/OR LENDERS MAY EMPLOY TO ENFORCE THEIR RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
         HEREUNDER. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE
         AGENT'S AND/OR LENDERS' ATTORNEY MAY, PURSUANT TO CONNECTICUT GENERAL
         STATUTES SECTION 52-278f, ISSUE A WRIT FOR A PREJUDGMENT REMEDY
         WITHOUT SECURING A COURT ORDER. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND RESERVES
         ITS RIGHT TO NOTICE AND A HEARING SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF A WRIT
         FOR PREJUDGMENT REMEDY AS AFORESAID AND THE AGENT AND LENDERS
         ACKNOWLEDGES BORROWER'S RIGHT TO SAID HEARING SUBSEQUENT TO THE
         ISSUANCE OF SAID WRIT.
