consent of any General Partner.
21
The Partners hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in the Management Agreement, if the
General Manager seeks the consent of TCI GP to take any of the
actions set forth in clauses (a) through (o) of this
Section 4.10 and TCI GP does not promptly consent to the
taking of such action, then the Partnership and the General Manager
and its Affiliates shall have no liability to the Comcast Partners
for or with respect to any and all Damages arising from or related
to the failure of the Partnership to take such action."

sensitive information, that is subject to confidentiality
restrictions or that contains trade secrets or other sensitive
information to the extent necessary to protect the legitimate
business and confidentiality concerns of TWE and its Affiliates, in
each case taking into account the need, if any, for such Partner to
have such information in evaluating the appropriate allocation of
Debt or selection of an Asset Pool in connection with the
Dissolution Procedure, otherwise in connection with the Dissolution
Procedure or for any other legitimate purpose relating to its
Interest in the Partnership; and

restrictions on providing requested information in this clause
