-6-
VI. Exhibit C of the Franchise shall be amended to delete
paragraphs 3, 4, and 5, and add new paragraphs 3 (a -e) and 4
(a and b), to read as follows:
Exhibit C
1. Channel Capacity
A. Number of cables at 1 Institutional Trunk, 54 Channel
system activation: Capacity; 1 Subscriber Trunk, 54
Channel Capacity, Single Feeder
B. Minimum Bandwidth: Upper Bandwidth of 400 MHz
C. Feeder Cables/ 400 MHz, Line Extender Amplifiers
Amplifiers: will be at a maximum of two in
Cascade.
D. Two -Way Capability
2. The cable system will be initially activated with the
inherent capacility to support the transmission of data for
municipal service.
3(a) The system is designed and constructed to have the capacity
to carry signals both "upstream" (from subscriber locations
to the system headend) and "downstream ",(from the system
headend to subscriber locations). The system will be
activated to provide for status monitoring for system
evaluation and maintenance. Capacity for other services
which require upstream signals will be activated at such
time as the projected return on the investment required to
provide any such services(s) meets the minimum payback
requirements outlined herein. For the purposes hereof, the
minimum payback requirements will be deemed to be met if the
projected capital expenditures and start -up operating losses
relating to the proposed new service will be recovered out
of projected operating income from the new service
(operating revenues less operating expenses, excluding
depreciation and financing costs) over a period not
exceeding three years from the initial activation of such
service. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as to
relieve Franchisee from any obligation(s) contained
elsewhere in this Franchise or in the Cable Communications
Ordinance which require the Franchisee to provide services
to the Municipalities either free of charge or at cost.
(b) The determination of interactive services to be offered to
subscribers shall be made by the Franchisee, provided
however, that the Franchisee shall continually monitor and
provide to the Municipalities periodic reports on
interactive services; said reports will be presented in
January, 1986, and every January thereafter unless otherwise
agreed upon by the Municipalities and the Franchisee.
-7-
(e) If equipment is in place in the system to support the
provision of interactive services as detailed above,
Franchisee agrees to use its best efforts to utilize such
equipment to enhance locally originated programming.
4(a) Beginning in January 1985, Franchisee will offer service to
subscribers utilizing one -way addressable technology.
Subscriber terminals utilized will have the capacity to be
upgraded to two -way interactive functioning, and will offer
consumer features such as optional wireless remote control,
volume control, audio muting, channel scanning, favorite
channel scanning, and programmable "parental locking".
(b) The phasing out of QUBE technology will commence January 1,
1985 and will be completed by no later than October 31,
1986. Beginning in January 1985, QUBE service will not be
available to non -QUBE subscribers or to new subscribers to
the system. Franchisee will continue to make QUBE service
available to cUrrent (as of January 1985) QUBE subscribers
until at least July 1, 1986. QUBE subscribers will be
offered the option of purchasing services offered via the
new addressable converter instead of QUBE service, at no
additional installation charge. Beginning on or about July
1, 1986, remaining QUBE subscribers will be disconnected
from QUBE service and given the option of purchasing any
other level of service available on the system, at no
additional installation charges.
-8-
Said reports shall include information on technological
development, cost and availability in the market, and
subscriber demand within the franchise area for interactive
services. Any service which is shown to be technologically
proven, for which equipment is being commercially
manufactured and distributed as part of standard product
lines, and for which there is any measurable subscriber
demand within the franchise area or projectable to the
franchise area, will then be analyzed in detail to determine
if it meets the payback requirements outlined in paragraph
3(a) hereof. If the payback requirements are shown to be
met, then such report shall also include an implementation
schedule..
(c) Following submission of any report required by the paragraph
3(b) hereof, upon the determination of the majority of the
municipal governments of Buffalo Grove, Elk Grove village,
Hoffman Estates, Palatine, and Rolling Meadows
(collectively, "the Municipalities ") that additional
verification is-required the Municipalities may engage an
independent consultant to review the findings of said report.
The consultant will be selected by the Municipalities from a
list of qualified telecommunications consultants to be
provided by the American Arbitration Association, 140 West
51st Street, New York, New York 10020. The Municipalities
will obtain proposals which shall include cost estimates
from any three (3) consultants on the list. The Franchisee
will agree to reimburse the Municipalites for the cost of
consultant's review, up to a maximum of the cost of the
least expensive of the three proposals; the Municipalities
may, if they so choose, select one of the other consultants
from whom proposals were obtained in which case the
Municipalities shall pay for any differential in cost.
(d) If either the analysis conducted pursuant. to paragraph 3(b)
or the analysis conducted by the consultant pursuant to 3(c)
hereof shows that any interactive service is technologically
proven, for which equipment is being commercially
manufactured and distributed as part of standard product
lines, and for which there is measurable subscriber demand
within the franchise area or projectable to the franchise
area and the minimum payback requirements outlined in
paragraph 3(a) can be projected to be met for any
interactive services(s), then within 120 days of such
finding the Franchisee shall present a specific
implementation proposal for such services(s) to the
Municipalities. The implementation proposal shall include
detailed operating plans and schedules for the introduction
of the service on the system, which schedule shall call for
introduction as promptly as is reasonably practical, and in
no event later than one year from issuance of the report,
unless delay is necessitated due to circumstances beyond the
Franchisee's control.

necessary to permit editing and cablecasting of 1/2 inch
format video tape.

r
VI. Exhibit C of the Franchise shall be amended to delete
paragraphs 3, 4, and 5, and add new paragraphs 3 (a -e) and 4
(a and b), to read as follows:
Exhibit C
1. Channel Capacity
A. Number of cables at 1 Institutional Trunk, 54 Channel
system activation: Capacity; 1 Subscriber Trunk, 54
Channel Capacity, Single Feeder
B. Minimum Bandwidth: Upper Bandwidth of 400 MHz
C. Feeder Cables/ 400 MHz, Line Extender Amplifiers
Amplifiers: will be at a maximum of two in
Cascade.
D. Two -Way Capability
2. The cable system will be initially activated with the
inherent capacility to support the transmission of data for
municipal service.
3(a) The system is designed and constructed to have the capacity
to carry signals both "upstream" (from subscriber locations
to the system headend) and "downstream" (from the system
headend to subscriber locations). The system will be
activated to provide for status monitoring for system
evaluation and maintenance. Capacity for other services
which require upstream signals will be activated at such
time as the projected return on the investment required to
provide any such services(s) meets the minimum payback
requirements outlined herein. For the purposes hereof, the
minimum payback requirements will be deemed to be met if the
projected capital expenditures and start -up operating losses
relating to the proposed new service will be recovered out
of projected operating income from the new service
(operating revenues less operating expenses, excluding
depreciation and financing costs) over a period not
exceeding three years from the initial activation of such
service. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as to
relieve Franchisee from any obligation(s) contained
elsewhere in this Franchise or in the Cable Communications
Ordinance which require the Franchisee to provide services
to the Municipalities either free of charge or at cost.
(b) The determination of interactive services to be offered to
subscribers shall be made by the Franchisee, provided
however, that the Franchisee shall continually monitor and
provide to the Municipalities periodic reports on
interactive services; said reports will be presented in
January, 1986, and every January thereafter unless otherwise
agreed upon by the Municipalities and the Franchisee.
-7-
}

7
c -
(e) If equipment is in place in the system to support the
provision of interactive services as detailed above,
Franchisee agrees to use its best efforts to utilize such
equipment to enhance locally originated programming.
4(a) Beginning in January 1985, Franchisee will offer service to
subscribers utilizing one -way addressable technology.
Subscriber terminals utilized will have the capacity to be
upgraded to two -way interactive functioning, and will offer
consumer features such as optional wireless remote control,
volume control, audio muting, channel scanning, favorite
channel scanning, and programmable "parental locking ".
(b) The phasing out of QUBE technology will commence January 1,
1985 and will be completed by no later than October 31,
1986. Beginning in January 1985, QUBE service will not be
available to non -QUBE subscribers or to new subscribers to
the system. Franchisee will continue to make QUBE service
available to cUrrent (as of January 1985) QUBE subscribers
until at least July 1, 1986. QUBE subscribers will be
offered the option of purchasing services offered via the
new addressable converter instead of QUBE service, at no
additional installation charge. Beginning on or about July
1, 1986, remaining QUBE subscribers will be disconnected
from QUBE service and given the option of purchasing any
other level of service available on the system, at no
additional installation charges.
i
Said reports shall include information on technological
development, cost and availability in the market, and
subscriber demand within the franchise area for interactive
services. Any service which is shown to be technologically
proven, for which equipment is being commercially
manufactured and distributed as part of standard product
lines, and for which there is any measurable subscriber
demand within the franchise area or projectable to the
franchise area, will then be analyzed in detail to determine
if it meets the payback requirements outlined in paragraph
3(a) hereof. If the payback requirements are shown to be
met, then such report shall also include an implementation
schedule.
(c) Following submission of any report required by the paragraph
3(b) hereof, upon the determination of the majority of the
municipal governments of Buffalo Grove, Elk Grove village,
Hoffman Estates, Palatine, and Rolling Meadows
(collectively, "the Municipalities ") that additional
verification is- required the Municipalities may engage an
independent consultant to review the findings of said report.
The consultant will be selected by the Municipalities from a
list of qualified telecommunications consultants to be
provided by the American Arbitration Association, 140 West
51st Street, New York, New York 10020. The Municipalities
will obtain proposals which shall include cost estimates
from any three (3) consultants on the list. The Franchisee
will agree to reimburse the Municipalites for the cost of
consultant's review, up to a maximum of the cost of the
least expensive of the three proposals; the Municipalities
may, if they so choose, select one of the other consultants
from whom proposals were obtained in which case the
Municipalities shall pay for any differential in cost.
(d) If either the analysis conducted pursuant, to paragraph 3(b)
or the analysis conducted by the consultant pursuant to 3(c)
hereof shows that any interactive service is technologically
proven, for which equipment is being commercially
manufactured and distributed as part of standard product
lines, and for which there is measurable subscriber demand
within the franchise area or projectable to the franchise
area and the minimum payback requirements outlined in
paragraph 3(a) can be projected to be met for any
interactive services(s), then within 120 days of such
finding the Franchisee shall present a specific
implementation proposal for such services(s) to the
Municipalities. The implementation proposal shall include
detailed operating plans and schedules for the introduction
of the service on the system, which schedule shall call for
introduction as promptly as is reasonably practical, and in
no event later than one year from issuance of the report,
unless delay is necessitated due to circumstances beyond the
Franchisee's control.
