The closing of this transaction, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 1999, is subject to the consents of governmental authorities and third parties with whom the Partnership has contracted that are necessary for the transfer of the Barrington System and the South Suburban System, and termination or expiration of the statutory waiting period applicable to the transaction under the Hart- Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Because the sale of the Barrington System and the South Suburban System will represent a sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, a vote of the limited partners of the Partnership will be required to approve this sale. In addition to the proposed sale of the Barrington System and the South Suburban System, Intercable has also entered into letters of intent on behalf of certain other managed partnerships to sell all of their remaining cable properties located in the State of Illinois. These properties are located in and around Aurora, Lake County, Naperville, Orland Park, Park Forest and Wheaton, Illinois. Item 7.
