portion of the Loan for which Borrower has not made an election,
pursuant to Section 2.5(c) below, shall bear interest at the Adjusted
Reference Rate.
(c) Procedure for Determining Interest Periods and Rates of Interest.
----------------------------------------------------------------
(i) If Borrower anticipates that it may elect the Adjusted Libor
Rate to be applicable to a new advance of the Commitment or
to a Portion which was subject to such rate during an
expiring Interest Period or which was subject to the Adjusted
Reference Rate, Borrower must notify Bank at least two (2)
Business Days prior to such new advance and/or the
commencement of the proposed Interest Period of the rate(s)
which Borrower anticipates it may elect to be applicable to
such new advance or Portion and the duration of the proposed
Interest Period(s). If Borrower anticipates that it may
elect the Adjusted Libor Rate to be applicable to such new
advance or Portion of the Loan, Borrower must request a
quotation of such rate(s) prior to 11:00 a.m. Denver time two
(2) Business Days in London as to the Adjusted Libor Rate,
prior to such advance and/or the commencement of the proposed
Interest Period, and if Borrower desires to elect such
rate(s), Borrower must accept such quotation of the Adjusted
Libor Rate no later than 1:00 p.m. Denver time on the date
such quotation is given by Bank. If Borrower does not provide
the applicable notice for the Adjusted Libor Rate, then
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the Adjusted
Reference Rate shall apply to any Portion which was subject
to the rate of interest applicable during an expiring
Interest Period and to any new advance of the Commitment
until Borrower shall have given proper notice of a change in
or
-9-
determination of the rate of interest in accordance with this
Paragraph 2.5(c).
(ii) Borrower shall not request, and Bank shall not be required to
provide, an indication or quotation with respect to a
specified rate of interest for a Portion in an amount less
than $100,000 for an Adjusted Libor Rate. Borrower shall not
elect more than three (3) different Portions (other than a
Portion bearing interest at the Adjusted Reference Rate) to
be applicable to the Loan
(iii) Upon an election of the Adjusted Libor Rate made by Borrower
pursuant to subparagraph (c) (i) above, such rate shall apply
to the applicable Portion of the Loan unless Bank is unable
to obtain the necessary funding for such rate, in which event
Bank will so notify Borrower and interest will accrue at the
Adjusted Reference Rate.
(d) Payment and Calculation of Interest. With respect to Portions of the
-----------------------------------
Loan which bear interest at the Adjusted Libor Rate, Borrower shall
pay interest upon the expiration of the Interest Period for each
Portion; with respect to Portions of the Loan which bear interest at
the Adjusted Reference Rate, Borrower shall pay interest with respect
to each outstanding Portion of the Loan on a quarterly basis on the
last day of each calendar quarter, commencing with September 30, 1995
and continuing on the last day of each March, June, September and
December thereafter until maturity and thereafter upon demand. If
any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and the Loan is
not paid when due, each of the Adjusted Libor Rate and the Adjusted
Reference Rate shall be increased by two percent (2%) per annum (but
not in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law) and
interest shall be payable at the relevant rate on the Loan or each
Portion thereof until the Loan has been paid in full. Interest shall
be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2.5(b)
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of, (i)
with respect to Portions of the Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted
Libor Rate, three hundred sixty (360) days, and (ii) with respect to
Portions of the Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted Reference Rate,
three hundred sixty-five (365) days, or three hundred sixty-six (366)
days, as the case may be.
-10-
(e) Reserves. If at any time the Loan or any Portion of the Loan
--------
outstanding hereunder is subject to the Adjusted Libor Rate, and Bank
is subject to and incurs a Reserve, Borrower hereby agrees to pay
within five (5) Business Days of demand thereof from time to time, as
billed by Bank, such additional amount as is necessary to reimburse
Bank for its costs in maintaining such Reserve. Such amount shall be
computed by taking into account the cost incurred by Bank in
maintaining such Reserve in an amount equal to the Portion on which
such Reserve is incurred. The determination by Bank of such costs
incurred shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the fact
and amount of such additional cost.
(f) Special Provisions Applicable to Adjusted Libor Rate. The following
-----------------------------------------------------
special provisions shall apply to the Adjusted Libor Rate:
(i) Change of Libor Rates. The Adjusted Libor Rate may be
---------------------
automatically adjusted by Bank on a prospective basis to take
into account the additional or increased cost of maintaining
any necessary reserves for Eurodollar deposits or increased
costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent
to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period,
including but not limited to changes in tax laws (except
corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve
requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (or any successor), including the Reserve
Percentage but excluding the Reserve, that increase the cost
to Bank of funding the Loan or a Portion thereof bearing
interest at the Adjusted Libor Rate. Bank shall give Borrower
notice of such a determination and adjustment and Borrower
may, by notice to Bank (a) require Bank to furnish to
Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting
such Adjusted Libor Rate and the method for determining the
amount of such adjustment; and/or (b) repay the Portion of
the Loan with respect to which such adjustment is made
pursuant to the requirements of Paragraph 2.8 hereof.
(ii) Unavailability of Eurodollar Funds. In the event that
----------------------------------
Borrower shall have requested a quotation of the Adjusted
Libor Rate in accordance with Paragraph 2.5(c) hereof and
Bank shall have reasonably determined that
-11-
Eurodollar deposits equal to the amount of the principal of
the Loan, or a Portion thereof, and for the Interest Period
specified are unavailable or that the Adjusted Libor Rate
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or
maintaining the principal amount of the Loan specified by
Borrower during the Interest Period specified or that by
reason of circumstances affecting Eurodollar markets,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
an Adjusted Libor Rate applicable to the specified Interest
Period, Bank shall promptly give notice of such determination
to Borrower that the Adjusted Libor Rate is not available. A
determination by Bank hereunder shall be prima facie evidence
of the correctness of the fact.
(iii) Illegality. In the event that it becomes unlawful for Bank
----------
to maintain Eurodollar liabilities sufficient to fund any
Portion of the Loan subject to the Adjusted Libor Rate, then
Bank shall immediately notify Borrower thereof and Bank's
obligations hereunder to advance funds or maintain the Loan
or a Portion thereof at the Adjusted Libor Rate shall be
suspended until such time as Bank may again cause the
Adjusted Libor Rate to be applicable to any Portion of the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan and any Portion
shall then be subject to the Adjusted Reference Rate.
(g) Minimizing Additional Cost. To the extent reasonably possible, Bank
--------------------------
will use its best efforts to minimize any additional costs which may
arise under either subparagraphs (e) or (f) above.
2.6 Advances. In addition to the notice required under Paragraph 2.5(c) hereof
--------
with respect to interest rate elections, Borrower shall give Bank at least
one (1) Business Day's prior notice, in case of an Adjusted Reference Note
advance, and two (2) Business Days' prior notice, in case of an Adjusted
Libor Rate advance, of each requested new advance under the Commitment,
such request to be confirmed in writing and received by Bank within five
(5) Business Days after the date of the advance by delivering to Bank an
Advance Request Form certified by the President, Group Vice
President/Finance or Treasurer of Jones, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, containing the following information and representations, which
must be true and correct as of the date of the requested advance:
-12-
(a) the aggregate amount of the requested advance, which shall be in
multiples of $25,000 or, if less, the unborrowed balance of the
Commitment for a Portion subject to the Adjusted Reference Rate,
and of not less than $100,000, for a Portion subject to the
Adjusted Libor Rate;
(b) confirming the interest rate(s) Borrower has elected to apply to
the new advance and, if more than one interest rate has been
elected, the amount of the Portion as to which each interest rate
shall apply; and
(c) representations that (i) the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 3 hereof are true and correct; (ii) no Event of
Default hereunder, or event which with the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default
hereunder, has occurred and is then continuing; and (iii) there
has been no material adverse change in Borrower's financial
condition or business since the date hereof.
2.7 Reduction and Termination of Commitment. Borrower shall have the
---------------------------------------
right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business
Days' prior written notice to Bank, to reduce the amount of the
Commitment in whole or in part without penalty or premium, provided
that on the effective date of such reduction, Borrower shall make a
prepayment of the Loan in an amount, if any, by which the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeds the amount of the
Commitment as then so reduced, together with accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid; provided that in the event of such a prepayment of
a Portion of the Loan upon which interest is determined by reference
to the Adjusted Libor Rate prior to the end of the applicable
Interest Period, Borrower shall reimburse Bank for any costs and
expenses incurred by Bank on account of such prepayment, including
but not limited to funding costs. Bank shall have the right to
terminate the Commitment at any time, in its discretion and upon
notice to Borrower, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
hereunder. Any termination or reduction of the Commitment shall be
permanent, and the Commitment cannot thereafter be restored or
increased without the written consent of Bank.
2.8 Prepayment.
----------
(a) Subject to the provision of subsection (b) below, Borrower may
prepay the outstanding principal balance under the Loan at any
time without premium or penalty, and prepayments prior to the
Termination Date shall not reduce the Commitment and may be
reborrowed. Prepayments made on or after the
-13-
Termination Date may not be reborrowed and shall be applied to
the payments due in the inverse order of maturities. To the
extent applied to principal, partial prepayments shall be
applied first to any Portion bearing interest at the Adjusted
Reference Rate, with any remaining amounts of the prepayment to
then be applied to any Portion(s) bearing interest at the
Adjusted Libor Rate. Except for a prepayment required to be made
by Borrower pursuant to paragraph 2.8 (b) hereof, prepayments
shall be in multiples of $25,000, but not less than $100,000 if
subject to the Adjusted Libor Rate. Borrower shall notify Bank
at least one (1) Business Day in advance of such prepayment
(b) If a Portion of the Loan upon which interest is determined by
reference to the Adjusted Libor Rate is repaid or prepaid other
than at the end of the applicable Interest Period (including
repayment or prepayment by reason of acceleration or otherwise),
Borrower shall reimburse Bank for any costs and expenses
incurred by Bank on account of such repayment or prepayment,
including but not limited to funding costs.
2.9 Payments in Available Funds. All payments and prepayments shall be
---------------------------
made by Borrower at the offices of Bank specified above no later
than 2:00 p.m. Denver time and in immediately available funds.
2.10 Fees. Borrower shall pay Bank a fee upon execution of this
----
Agreement equal to one-half percent (1/2%) of the difference between
$6,500,000 and the outstanding principal amount of the 1992 Loan on
the date of Closing. In addition, from the date hereof through the
Termination Date, Borrower shall pay Bank a commitment fee at the
rate of one-fourth percent (1/4%) per annum on the unborrowed
portion of the Commitment, which shall be payable at the offices of
the Bank specified above, quarterly, in arrears as billed by Bank.
The commitment fee shall be calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty-five (365)
days or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, if applicable, and shall
be payable on the last day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing September 30, 1995.
2.11 Collateral. The repayment of all of Borrower's indebtedness to Bank
----------
shall be secured by first priority security interests (the "Security
Interests") in all real estate, fixtures, accounts, equipment,
inventory and general intangibles (such terms having the meanings
given them in the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code) including all of
the cable television franchises relating to the Systems, now owned
or hereafter acquired by Borrower, and
-14-
in all proceeds thereof (the "Collateral"). Borrower reaffirms all
of the 1992 Collateral Documents and agrees that they shall secure
Borrower's indebtedness to the Bank hereunder. In addition, the
Security Interests shall be created and perfected by mortgages,
deeds of trust, collateral assignments, security agreements, UCC

by recourse only to the assets of Borrower, but not by recourse
directly to or by execution on Jones's separate assets. Notwithstanding

of Jones or (b) Jones' undertakings under the Subordination Agreement.

any indebtedness hereunder of Borrower to Bank remains outstanding.
8.5 No Waiver; Delay. If Bank shall waive any power, right or remedy
----------------
arising hereunder or under any applicable law, such waiver shall not be
deemed to be a waiver upon the later occurrence or recurrence of any of
said events. No delay by Bank in the exercise of any power, right or
remedy shall, under any circumstances, constitute or be deemed to be a
waiver, express or implied, of the same and no course of dealing
between the parties hereto shall constitute a waiver of Bank's powers,
