(a) Within 90 days following the Contribution Closing, Parent shall
prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Company a Closing Date
consolidated balance sheet relating to both the Asset Contributed Systems and
the Contributed Entities (the "CLOSING BALANCE SHEET"), which shall set forth
the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Contributed Entities and
Acquired Assets and Assumed

-9-

Liabilities and the Net Adjusted Working Capital as of the
Closing Date, shall be prepared in accordance with the principles and methods
applied to the Proxy Financial Statements and shall be accompanied by
reasonably detailed information supporting the numbers set forth therein.
For this purpose, in no event will purchase accounting adjustments relating
to the Contribution Closing be made to the Closing Balance Sheet. For the
purpose of this Agreement: (i) "CURRENT ASSETS" means the aggregate amount
of cash, marketable securities, deposits, active subscriber accounts
receivables that are no more than 90 days past due (based on date of invoice)
for those subscribers who have been subscribers and have paid for at least
one entire billing cycle and prepaid expenses and advertising sales accounts
receivables for all such receivables, net of reserves for doubtful accounts,
each as reflected as current assets on a balance sheet prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied in a manner
consistent with that applied in the preparation of the Proxy Financial
Statements, except that the Fibertech Cash and any Excluded Assets shall not
be included; (ii) "LIABILITIES" means the aggregate amount of any and all
liabilities (current and long term and whether or not contingent) reflected
as liabilities on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in
a manner consistent with that applied in preparation of the Proxy Financial
Statements, except that the Assumed Company Debt, the Surety Liabilities, any
Excluded Liabilities and any other liability or obligation terminated
pursuant to Section 6.15(a) without any liability or obligation to any
Contributed Entity or any Asset Contributed System after the Contribution
Closing shall not be included; and (iii) "NET ADJUSTED WORKING CAPITAL"
equals (x) the Current Assets minus (y) the sum of the Liabilities and the
amount by which the total of the Surety Liabilities exceeds $10,000,000.

(b) The Company and the Company's accountants shall, within 30
days after the delivery by Parent of the Closing Balance Sheet and the
information required to be delivered with the Closing Balance Sheet, complete
their review of the Net Adjusted Working Capital derived from the Closing
Balance Sheet. In the event that the Company determines that the Net
Adjusted Working Capital has not been determined on the basis set forth in
Section 3.4(a) and this Section 3.4(b), the Company shall inform Parent in
writing (the "COMPANY'S OBJECTION"), setting forth a specific description of
the basis of the Company's Objection and the adjustments to the Net Adjusted
Working Capital that the Company believes should be made, on or before the
last day of such 30-day period. Parent shall then have 20 days to review and
respond to the Company's Objection. If Parent

-10-

and the Company are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect
to the determination of the foregoing items within 10 days following the
completion of Parent's review of the Company's Objection, they shall refer
their remaining differences to KPMG Peat Marwick (or its successor) or
another internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as
to which the Company and Parent mutually agree (the "CPA FIRM"), who shall,
acting as experts and not as arbitrators, determine on the basis of the
standards set forth in Section 3.4(a) and this Section 3.4(b), and only with
respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what
extent, if any, the Net Adjusted Working Capital, as derived from the Closing
Balance Sheet, requires adjustment. The parties shall instruct the CPA Firm
to deliver its written determination to Parent and the Company no later than
the twentieth day after the remaining differences underlying the Company's
Objection are referred to the CPA Firm. The CPA Firm's determination shall
be conclusive and binding upon Parent and the Company and shall not be
subject to appeal. The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be paid
by the Person whose estimate of Net Adjusted Working Capital differs the most
from that ultimately determined by the CPA Firm. Parent and the Company
shall (and Parent shall cause the Contributed Entities to) make readily
available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records and any work papers
(including those of the parties' respective accountants) relating to the
Financial Statements and Closing Balance Sheet and all other items reasonably
requested by the CPA Firm. The "ADJUSTED CLOSING BALANCE SHEET" shall be (i)
the Closing Balance Sheet in the event that (x) the Company's Objection is
not delivered to Parent during the 30-day period specified above or (y) the
Company and Parent so agree, (ii) the Closing Balance Sheet, adjusted in
accordance with the Company's Objection, in the event that Parent does not
respond to the Company's Objection within the 20-day period following receipt
by Parent of the Company's Objection, or (iii) the Closing Balance Sheet, as
adjusted by either (x) the agreement of the Company and Parent or (y) the CPA
Firm. In the event that the adjustment of the Closing Balance Sheet pursuant
to this Section 3.4(b) discloses that it is appropriate to include an item in
the calculation of Net Adjusted Working Capital that had been omitted from
the Closing Balance Sheet or to omit an item in the calculation of Net
Adjusted Working Capital that had been included in the Closing Balance Sheet,
Parent shall prepare a revised Closing Balance Sheet including or omitting
such item, as the case may be, as at the date thereof.

-11-

(c) Within five business days following issuance of the Adjusted
Closing Balance Sheet, the payments payable pursuant to this Section 3.4(c)
shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank
account designated by Parent or the Company, as the case may be, together
with interest thereon (at the prime rate of interest of Citibank N.A. in
effect on the Closing Date) from and including the Closing Date and up to but
not including the date of payment. If the Net Adjusted Working Capital is
more than zero, Parent will make a payment to the Company in the amount by
which the Net Adjusted Working Capital exceeds zero, as derived from the
Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet. If the Net Adjusted Working Capital is less
than zero, the Company will make a payment to Parent in the amount by which
the Net Adjusted Working Capital is less than zero, as derived from the
Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet. Any adjustment payment in respect of Net
Adjusted Working Capital required to be made by Parent to the Company will be
subject to set-off to the extent of any failure by the Company to comply with
Section 6.15(a), Section 6.17(a) or Section 6.17(d). In the event that the
aforementioned set-off is insufficient to fully compensate Parent due to any
failure by the Company to comply with Section 6.15(a), Section 6.17(a) or
Section 6.17(d), the Company shall make a payment to Parent in the amount
equal to such insufficient amount.

3.5. ANTIDILUTION ADJUSTMENTS. If, between the date of this
Agreement and the Contribution Closing, CSC or Parent issues from time to
time any Shares or shares of Parent Common Stock other than in full or
partial satisfaction of the obligations ("ISSUE EXCEPTIONS") that are
described on Schedule 3.5 then, upon any such issue, the number of Parent
Class A Shares comprising the Stock Consideration shall be adjusted (to be
either increased or decreased) in accordance with the following formula:

X' = 1,419,322,988
-------------
C'

where:

X' = the adjusted aggregate number of Parent Class A Shares comprising
the Stock Consideration immediately following such issue (rounded
to the nearest whole share);

-12-

O = the number of Shares or shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issue;

I = the aggregate number of Shares or shares of Parent Common Stock
to be issued in such issue;

C = initially $116, and following any antidilution adjustment the C'
from the immediately preceding antidilution calculation;

P = the price per Share of the Shares or shares of Parent Common
Stock to be issued in such issue calculated by reference, as the
case may be, to (i) the aggregate amount of the principal of,
interest on, fees and any other amount in respect of the
indebtedness that is paid, redeemed or satisfied in such issue or
(ii) the aggregate amount of the liquidation value of, dividends
on, and any other amount in respect of the Preferred Shares that
is paid, redeemed or satisfied in such issue; and

C' = V + V';
-----
O + I

V = C x O; and

V' = P x I.

3.6. FAILURE TO RECEIVE THIRD PARTY CONSENTS. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not
constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any approval, instrument or
Contract, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or arising
therefrom, if an assignment or transfer or an attempt to make such an
assignment or transfer without the consent of a third party would be void or
constitute a breach or violation thereof or affect adversely any of the
rights or obligations of Parent thereunder; and any transfer or assignment to
Parent of any interest under any such approval, instrument or Contract that
requires the consent of a third party shall be made subject to such consent
or approval being obtained. In the event that any such consent or approval
is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company (i) shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent or approval
after the

-13-

Closing Date until such time as such consent or approval has been obtained
and (ii) shall cooperate with Parent in any lawful arrangement designed to
provide Parent or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, with the full
economic benefits under any such approval, instrument or Contract, including
performance by the Company or its Affiliates, as the case may be, as an
agent, or in a similar role, for Parent or its Subsidiaries, as the case may
be, PROVIDED that Parent shall undertake to pay or satisfy (or cause the
payment or satisfaction of) the corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment
or such benefit only to the extent Parent would have been responsible
therefor hereunder if such consent or approval had been obtained prior to the
Closing Date. No party hereto shall be required to pay any material
payments, agree to any material restrictions on its or any of its affiliates'
business or commence or pursue any litigation in order to comply with this
Section 3.6. Nothing in this Section 3.6 shall be deemed a waiver or
modification by Parent of its right to receive an effective assignment and
transfer of all of the Acquired Assets, nor shall this Section 3.6 be deemed
to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Acquired Assets any approvals,
instruments or Contributed Contracts described in this Section or to require
the obtaining of any consent or approval not otherwise required to be
obtained under the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

Representations and Warranties

5.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. Except as set
forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter
delivered to Parent by the Company on or prior to entering into this Agreement
(the "COMPANY DISCLOSURE LETTER"), the Company hereby represents and warrants to
CSC, Parent and Merger Sub that:

(a) ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND QUALIFICATION. Each of the
Contributed Entities, the Contributed System Entities and the Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate
power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on
its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership
or operation of its properties or conduct of its business requires such
qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing,
when taken together with all other such failures, is not reasonably likely to
have a Contributed Systems Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made
available to Parent a complete and correct copy of the Company's and the
Contributed Entities' respective certificates of incorporation and by-laws or
comparable governing instruments, each as amended to date. The

-16-

Company's and the Contributed Entities' respective certificates of
incorporation and by-laws or comparable governing instruments so delivered
are in full force and effect. TCI owns directly all of the outstanding Common
Stock of the Company, and the Company is TCI's principal cable property
holding company. Section 5.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a
correct and complete list of each jurisdiction where each of the Contributed
Subsidiaries is and each of the Contributed System Entities is or, if Future
Contributed System Entities, will be as of the Contribution Closing organized
and qualified to do business.

As used in this Agreement, the term (i) "SUBSIDIARY" means, with
respect to the Company, any Contributed Entity, CSC, Parent or Merger Sub, as
the case may be, any entity, whether incorporated or unincorporated, of which
at least a majority of the securities or ownership interests having by their
terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or
other persons performing similar functions is directly or indirectly owned or
controlled by such party or by one or more of its respective Subsidiaries or
by such party and any one or more of its respective Subsidiaries (it being
agreed that until the Effective Time, Parent shall be deemed a Subsidiary of
CSC for all purposes hereunder) and (ii) "CONTRIBUTED SYSTEMS MATERIAL
ADVERSE EFFECT" means a material adverse effect on the financial condition,
properties, business or results of operations of all of the Contributed
Systems, taken as a whole, excluding any such effects proximately caused by
CSC or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(b) CAPITAL STRUCTURE; ACQUIRED ASSETS; INDEBTEDNESS. (i) The
authorized and outstanding capital stock of each Contributed Entity is set
forth in Section 5.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter. All of the
outstanding shares of capital stock in each of the Contributed Entities have
been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
are owned beneficially and of record by a direct or indirect Subsidiary of
the Company, free and clear of any Lien. Except as required to consummate
the Company Restructuring, there are no preemptive or other outstanding
rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights,
redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments
to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other securities of the
Contributed Entities or any securities or obligations convertible or
exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to
subscribe for or acquire, any securities of the

-17-

Contributed Entities, and no securities or obligations evidencing such rights
are authorized, issued or outstanding. No Contributed Entity has any shares
of capital stock reserved for issuance. No Contributed Entity has
outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of
which have the right to vote (or to convert into or be exercised or exchanged
for securities having the right to vote) ("VOTING DEBT") with the
stockholders of any Contributed Entity on any matter. There are no voting
trusts, proxies, or other commitments or understandings, restrictions or
arrangements of any kind in favor of any Person with respect to the voting
of, or the right to participate in dividends or other earnings on, any
securities or other ownership interests of any Contributed Entity. Each of
the Contributed System Entities is or, if a Future Contributed System Entity,
will be as of the Contribution Closing a Subsidiary of the Company. All of
the Asset Contributed Systems are owned and operated within, and all of the
Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities are contained within, the Contributed
System Entities.

(ii) The Acquired Assets, taken as a whole, constitute and will
constitute all the properties, assets, privileges, rights, and interests of
the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to, used in or held for use in
connection with or otherwise required to carry on the business of the Asset
Contributed Systems as of the date hereof and as of immediately after the
Contribution Closing, except to the extent that Excluded Assets may relate
to, be used in or held for use in connection with or otherwise be required to
carry on such business.

(iii) Section 5.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, which shall
be supplemented on the third business day before the Closing Date in
accordance with Section 6.17(e), sets forth all of the outstanding
Indebtedness of each of the Contributed System Entities (including the Future
Contributed System Entities as of the Contribution Closing) and each of the
Contributed Entities, the maturity thereof and the interest rate thereon,
except for the Assumed Company Debt, which is set forth to the best
approximation by the Company as of the date hereof and shall be set forth in
exact amounts on the third business day prior to the Closing Date. As used
in this Agreement, the term "INDEBTEDNESS" means, without duplication, any
liability, whether or not contingent, (i) in respect of borrowed money or
evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments or letters of
credit (or reimbursement agreements in respect thereto), but excluding
reimbursement obligations under any surety bond and reimbursement obligations
and letters of credit and other forms of surety

-18-

for cable franchises and other operating agreements, (ii) representing the
balance deferred and unpaid of the purchase price of any property, except any
such balance that constitutes a trade payable arising in the ordinary course
of business, (iii) any obligation of a Person to pay rent or other amounts
under a lease with respect to any property (whether real, personal or mixed)
acquired or leased by such Person and used in its business that is required
to be accounted for as a liability on the balance sheet of such Person in
accordance with GAAP, and the amount of such obligation constituting
Indebtedness shall be the amount so required to be accounted for as a
liability, (iv) under any other agreement related to the fixing or exchanging
of interest rates on any Indebtedness described above, such as an interest
swap, cap or collar agreement, or (v) guarantees of items of other Persons
which would be included within this definition of Indebtedness for such other
Persons (whether or not the guarantee would appear on a balance sheet of such
other Person). The aggregate amount of liabilities, whether or not
contingent, in respect of reimbursement obligations and letters of credit and
other forms of surety for cable franchises and other operating agreements,
excluding reimbursement obligations under any surety bonds (collectively, the
"SURETY LIABILITIES") does not exceed $10,000,000.

(c) CORPORATE AUTHORITY; APPROVAL. (i) Each of the Company and TCI
has (and as of the Contribution Closing each Contributed System Entity will
have) all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken (or, in the case
of the Contributed System Entities, as of the Contribution Closing will have
taken) all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Contribution (it
being understood that, for the purposes of this Agreement, consummation of the
Contribution shall include consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Company Restructuring). This Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of the
Company and TCI enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting

filings and/or notices under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976, as amended (the "HSR ACT"), and except as set forth in Section
5.1(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no notices, reports or other filings
are required to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with, nor
are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations
required to be obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from, any

("GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY"), in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
Contribution and the performance of its other obligations hereunder, except
those that the failure to make or obtain are not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Contributed Systems Material Adverse
Effect or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the
Company to consummate the Contribution and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
the Company do not, and the consummation by the Company of the Contribution
and the performance of its other obligations hereunder will not, constitute
or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the respective
certificates of incorporation or by-laws of the Contributed System Entities,
the Contributed Entities or the Company or the comparable governing
instruments of any of the Contributed System Entities or any of the
Contributed Entities, (B) a breach of or violation of or a default under, or
the acceleration of any obligations of or the creation of a Lien on the
assets of the Contributed Entities, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(with or without notice, lapse of time or both) pursuant to, any agreement,
lease, license, franchise, permit, concession, contract, note, mortgage,
indenture, arrangement or other obligation ("CONTRACTS") binding upon the
Contributed Entities, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Law or
governmental or non-governmental permit or license to which the Contributed
Entities, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject or (C) any change
in the rights or obligations of any party under any of the Contracts, except,
in the case of clause (B) or (C) above, for any breach, violation, default,
acceleration, creation or change that, individually or in the aggregate, is
not reasonably likely to have a Contributed Systems Material Adverse Effect
or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section
5.1(d) of the Company Disclosure

-20-

Letter sets forth a correct and complete list of Contracts of the Contributed
Entities, the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to which consents or
waivers are or may be required prior to consummation of the Contribution and
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not subject
to the material adverse effect or materiality exception set forth with
respect to clauses (B) and (C) above), other than any such Contract (x) the
amount that could be paid or received thereunder after the Audit Date does
not exceed $100,000 per annum and $250,000 in the aggregate or (y) that is
terminable by any of the Contributed System Entities or by any of the
Contributed Entities without penalty on less than 60 days' notice.

(e) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has delivered to Parent and
CSC complete and correct copies of each of the financial statements listed in
Section 5.1(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS").
The Financial Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the
financial position of each of the Contributed Systems as of the respective
date indicated and the financial position and results of operations, as the
case may be, of each of the Contributed Systems for the periods set forth
therein, in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the
periods involved, except for the omission of statements of retained earnings,
changes in cash flows and financial positions and except for the omission of
notes and normal year-end adjustments. The Proxy Financial Statements
(including the related notes and schedules) to be delivered to CSC by the
Company will fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of the Contributed Systems as of the respective dates
indicated and the consolidated financial position and results of operations,
retained earnings, changes in financial position and cash flows, as the case
may be, of the Contributed Systems for the periods set forth therein
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements) to notes and normal year-end
audit adjustments that will not individually or in the aggregate be material
in amount or effect, in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein. The
financial positions and results of operations reflected in the Proxy
Financial Statements, when delivered, will not differ in any material respect
from that reflected in the Financial Statements for the same periods involved
(other than any purchase accounting adjustments and accruals for Taxes which
were not reflected in the Financial Statements).

(f) ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Since March 31, 1997 (the "AUDIT
DATE"): (i) the Company, the Contributed

-21-

System Entities and the Contributed Entities have conducted their respective
businesses relating to the Contributed Systems only in, and have not engaged
in any material transaction other than according to, the ordinary and usual
course of such businesses; and (ii) there has not been (I) any change in the
financial condition, properties, business or results of operations of any of
the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Systems or any event or
development or combination of events or developments that, individually or in
the aggregate, has had or is reasonably likely to have a Contributed Systems
Material Adverse Effect (it being acknowledged and agreed that, for the
purposes of this Agreement, knowledge or awareness of the Company shall
include the knowledge or awareness of the Company, of the Contributed
Entities and of any of the Contributed System Entities); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that any such effect resulting from any change (x) in law, rule, or
regulation or generally accepted accounting principles or interpretations
thereof that applies to both CSC and the Contributed Systems or (y) in
economic or business conditions generally or in the cable industry
specifically shall not be considered when determining if a Contributed
Systems Material Adverse Effect has occurred; (II) any material damage,
destruction or other casualty loss with respect to any material asset or
property owned, leased or otherwise used by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries with respect to the Contributed Systems, whether or not covered
by insurance; (III) except as required to consummate the Company
Restructuring, any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or
other distribution in respect of the capital stock of any of the Contributed
System Entities or any of the Contributed Entities, except for cash dividends
(excluding any dividend of any Fibertech Cash) or other dividends or
distributions on its capital stock set forth in Section 5.1(f) of the Company
Disclosure Letter; or (IV) any change in accounting principles, practices or
methods used by the Contributed Entities or used with respect to the
Contributed Systems. Since the Audit Date, there has not been any material
increase in the compensation payable or that could become payable by the
Contributed Entities or the Contributed System Entities to officers or key
employees of the Contributed Systems other than periodic or merit increases
consistent with past practice or bonus payments that will not be the
responsibility of or require any payment by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
(including, after the Contribution Closing, the Contributed Entities) or any
amendment of any of the Compensation and Benefit Plans or the adoption of any
new benefit plan or arrangement.

(g) LITIGATION AND LIABILITIES. Except as set forth in Section
5.1(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter,

-22-

there are no (i) civil, criminal or administrative actions, suits, claims,
hearings, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against any of the Contributed Entities or Contributed
System Entities or against any of their respective "AFFILIATES" (as defined
in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) relating directly or indirectly to any
of the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Systems or their respective
businesses or (ii) obligations or liabilities, whether or not accrued,
contingent or otherwise and whether or not required to be disclosed,
including those relating to matters involving any Environmental Law, or any
other facts or circumstances of which the Company has knowledge that could
result in any claims against, or obligations or liabilities of any of the
Contributed Entities or Contributed Systems except, in the case of either
clause (i) or (ii) above, for those that are not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Contributed Systems Material Adverse
Effect or prevent or materially burden or materially impair the ability of
the Company to consummate the Contribution and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. (i) A copy of each bonus, deferred
compensation, pension, retirement, profit-sharing, thrift, savings, employee
stock ownership, stock bonus, stock purchase, restricted stock, stock option,
employment, termination, severance, compensation, medical, health or other
plan, agreement, policy or arrangement that covers current or former
employees or directors of the Contributed Entities or of the Company or its
Subsidiaries relating to the Contributed Systems and is in effect on the date
hereof, other than "multiemployer plans" within the meaning of Section 3(37)
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")
(such plans, agreements, policies and arrangements, the "COMPENSATION AND
BENEFIT PLANS"), and any trust agreement or insurance contract forming a part
of such Compensation and Benefit Plans has been made available to Parent
prior to the date hereof. The Compensation and Benefit Plans are listed in
Section 5.1(h) of the Company Disclosure Letter and any "change of control"
or similar provisions therein are specifically identified in Section 5.1(h)
of the Company Disclosure Letter to the extent that there would be any
liability to or payment required by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
(including after the Contribution Closing, the Contributed Entities)
thereunder.

(ii) All Compensation and Benefit Plans are in substantial compliance
with all applicable Laws, including the Code and ERISA. Each Compensation and
Benefit Plan that

-23-

is an "employee pension benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(2) of
ERISA (a "PENSION PLAN") and that is intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") with respect to "TRA" (as defined in
Section 1 of Rev. Proc. 93-39), and the Company is not aware of any
circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable
determination letter. There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened material litigation relating to the Compensation and
Benefit Plans. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged
in a transaction with respect to any Compensation and Benefit Plan that,
assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date
hereof, would subject any of the Contributed Entities to or otherwise cause
the Contributed Systems to incur a material tax or penalty imposed by either
Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

(iii) As of the date hereof, no liability under Subtitle C or D of
Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by any of the
Contributed Entities or of the Contributed Systems with respect to any
ongoing, frozen or terminated "single-employer plan", within the meaning of
Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of
them, or the single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one
employer with the Company under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the
Code (an "ERISA AFFILIATE"). The Contributed Entities and, with respect to
the Contributed Systems, the Contributed System Entities have not incurred
and do not expect to incur any withdrawal liability with respect to a
multiemployer plan under Subtitle E to Title IV of ERISA. No notice of a
"reportable event", within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the
30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be
filed for any Pension Plan or by any ERISA Affiliate of the Contributed
Entities or, with respect to the Contributed Systems, the Contributed System
Entities within the 12-month period ending on the date hereof or will be
required to be filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

(iv) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any
Compensation and Benefit Plan as of the date hereof have been timely made or
have been reflected on the most recent Financial Statements. Neither any
Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate of the
Contributed Entities or, with respect to the Contributed Systems, the
Contributed System Entities or the Company or its Subsidiaries has an
"accumulated funding deficiency" (whether or not waived) within the meaning
of Section 412 of

-24-

the Code or Section 302 of ERISA. None of the Contributed Entities or, with
respect to the Contributed Systems, the Contributed System Entities has
provided, or is required to provide, security to any Pension Plan or to any
single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate of the Contributed Entities or,
with respect to the Contributed Systems, the Contributed System Entities
pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

(v) Under each Pension Plan which is a single-employer plan, as of
the last day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date hereof, the
actuarially determined present value of all "benefit liabilities", within the
meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the
actuarial assumptions contained in the Pension Plan's most recent actuarial
valuation), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such
Pension Plan, and there has been no material change in the financial
condition of such Pension Plan since the last day of the most recent plan
year. The withdrawal liability of the Contributed Entities or, with respect
to the Contributed Systems, the Contributed System Entities under each
Compensation and Benefit Plan that is a multiemployer plan, determined as if
a "complete withdrawal" within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA had
occurred as of the date hereof, does not exceed $100,000.

(vi) None of the Contributed Entities or, with respect to the
Contributed Systems, the Contributed System Entities has any obligations for
retiree health and life benefits under any Compensation and Benefit Plan,
except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter. The Contributed
Entities and, with respect to the Contributed Systems, the Contributed System
Entities may amend or terminate any such plan under the terms of such plan at
any time without incurring any material liability thereunder.

(vii) Except as expressly contemplated by Section 6.11(c), the
consummation of the Contribution and the other transactions contemplated by
this Agreement will not (x) entitle any current or former employees or
directors ("EMPLOYEES") of the Contributed Entities or, with respect to the
Contributed Systems, the Contributed System Entities to severance pay, (y)
accelerate the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment of
compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or trigger any
other material obligation pursuant to, any of the Compensation and Benefit
Plans or (z) result, in any material respect, in any breach or violation of,
or a default under, any of the Compensation and Benefit Plans.

-25-

(i) COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; PERMITS. The businesses of each of the
Contributed Systems Entities and the Contributed Entities have not been, and
are not being, conducted in violation of any federal, state, local or foreign
law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, injunction,
decree, arbitration award, agency requirement, franchise, license or permit
of any Governmental Entity (collectively, "LAWS"), except for violations or
possible violations that, individually or in the aggregate, are not
reasonably likely to have a Contributed Systems Material Adverse Effect or
prevent or materially burden or materially impair the ability of the Company
to consummate the Contribution and the other transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. No investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with
respect to any of the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Systems is
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor has any
Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct such investigation or
review except any investigations or reviews that are not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Contributed Systems Material
Adverse Effect or prevent or materially burden or materially impair the
ability of the Company to consummate the Contribution and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the knowledge of the
Company, no material change is required in any of the Contributed Systems'
processes, properties or procedures in connection with any such Laws, and
none of the Company, the Contributed Entities or the Contributed Systems has
received any notice or communication of any noncompliance with any such Laws
that has not been cured as of the date hereof except for such noncompliance
that is not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a
Contributed Systems Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially burden
or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the
Contribution and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each
of the Contributed Entities and the Contributed Systems has all permits,
licenses, franchises, variances, exemptions, orders and other governmental
authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to conduct the businesses of
its respective Contributed Systems as presently conducted, except those the
absence of which are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely
to have a Contributed Systems Material Adverse Effect or prevent or
materially burden or materially impair the ability of the Company to
consummate the Contribution and the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

(j) ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Except as set forth in Section 5.1(j)
of the Company Disclosure Letter, and for

-26-

such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably
likely to have a Contributed Systems Material Adverse Effect: (i) all of the
Contributed System Entities with respect to the Asset Contributed Systems and
the Contributed Entities have complied at all times with all applicable
Environmental Laws; (ii) the properties currently owned or operated by any of
the Contributed System Entities with respect to the Asset Contributed Systems
or the Contributed Entities (including soils, groundwater, surface water,

to the Asset Contributed Systems or the Contributed Entities is or has been

Law or relating to Hazardous Substances; (viii) there are no circumstances or
conditions involving any of the Contributed System Entities with respect to
the Asset Contributed Systems or the Contributed Entities that could
reasonably be expected to result in any claims, liability, investigations,
costs or restrictions on the ownership, use, or transfer of any property of
any of the Contributed System Entities with respect to the Asset Contributed
Systems or the Contributed Entities pursuant to any Environmental Law; (ix)
none of the properties of any of the Contributed System Entities with respect
to the Asset Contributed Systems or the Contributed Entities contain or has

the indemnity with respect to environmental matters at the Mamaroneck, New

Closing.

any Real Property Law that has not since been cured, which violations,
individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a Contributed
Systems Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially burden or materially
impair the ability of the Company to consummate the Contribution and the
other transactions contemplated hereby.

(t) LEASES. The Company has made available to Parent correct and
complete copies of all real property leases that relate to the Contributed
Systems (and any personal property leases that relate to the Contributed
Systems the amount that could be paid or received by the Contributed Entities
or Contributed System Entities thereunder exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate)
to which the Contributed Entities or Contributed System Entities is a party
or is bound (together, the "CONTRIBUTED SYSTEMS LEASES"), none of which has
been modified in any material respect except to the extent such modifications
have been disclosed and copies made available to Parent prior to the date
hereof. Each of the Contributed Systems Leases is in full force and effect.
None of the Contributed Entities or Contributed System Entities, and, to the
knowledge of the Company, no other party is, in default (with or without
notice or lapse of time or both) under any Contributed Systems Lease in any
material respect. To the knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred and
is continuing that constitutes (or with notice or the passage of time or
both, could constitute) a default under any Contributed Systems Lease in any
material respect.

(i) As to the Contributed Systems Leases relating to the
Contributed Systems Leased Real Property:

-33-

(A) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
notice of a proceeding in eminent domain or other similar proceeding
affecting the Contributed Systems Leased Real Property; and

(B) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
notice that the current use and operation of the Contributed Systems Leased
Real Property violates, in any material respect, any instrument of record
or agreement affecting the Contributed Systems Leased Real Property or any
Real Property Laws.

(ii) The Contributed Entities and the Contributed System Entities
have a valid leasehold interest in their respective Contributed Systems
Leased Real Property, free and clear of any Lien other than Contributed
Systems Permitted Liens.

(u) PERSONAL PROPERTY. The Contributed Entities and the
Contributed System Entities have good title to, or a valid leasehold interest
in, or other good and sufficient right to use, all tangible personal
properties that are material to the business and operations of any of their

(v) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Contributed Entities and the
Contributed System Entities own, or are licensed or otherwise possess legally
enforceable rights to use, all patents, registered or unregistered
trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, and any applications
therefor, technology, know-how, computer software programs or applications,
and tangible or intangible proprietary information or materials (the
"INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS") that are used in the business of their
respective Contributed Systems as currently conducted, except for any such
failures to own, be licensed or possess that, individually or in the
aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a Contributed Systems Material
Adverse Effect, and to the knowledge of the Company all such Intellectual
Property Rights held by the Contributed Entities and the Contributed System
Entities are valid and subsisting.

(w) BROKERS AND FINDERS. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries or their officers, directors or employees has employed any
broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees or
commissions or finders' fees in connection with the Transactions or the other

(x) CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISES. (i) Section 5.1(x) of the Company
Disclosure Letter sets forth all of the Contributed Systems and the approximate
number, as of the date of this Agreement, equal to the sum of (x) the total
number of households (exclusive of "second outlets") that are paying for and
receiving any level of cable television service from the Contributed Systems in
individually billed residential units and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing
the total ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to all subscribers in commercial venues or bulk-billed
multiple residential units by the predominant cable service rate charged by each

and CNN, as of March 31, 1997 served by each such Contributed System.
Section 5.1(x) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the name of the legal
entity that owns or, if Future Contributed System Entities, will own each such
Contributed System and holds or will hold, as the case may be, the applicable

franchise agreements and similar governing agreements, statutes or ordinances,
including any material related Contracts with any Governmental Entity
(collectively, the "CABLE FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS") relating to such Contributed
Systems have been made available to Parent. The Contributed Entities and the
Contributed System Entities are in compliance with all such Cable Franchise
Agreements of their respective Contributed Systems (the "CONTRIBUTED SYSTEM

(ii) Except as set forth in Section 5.1(x) of the Company Disclosure
Letter, there exists no fact or circumstance that makes it reasonably likely
that any Contributed System Cable Franchise Agreement scheduled to expire in the
next five years will not be timely renewed on commercially reasonable terms.
The Company has filed or caused to be filed with the appropriate Governmental
Entity all appropriate requests for renewal under the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "COMMUNICATIONS

and is, in compliance in all material respects with the rules and regulations of
the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") and none of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries has received notice from the FCC of any violation of its rules
and regulations by any of the Contributed Entities or, with respect to the Asset
Contributed Systems, any of the Contributed System Entities.

-35-

None of the applicable franchises for the Contributed Systems has been
suspended or revoked. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any notice of any such possible suspension or revocation, and no
such suspension or revocation is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened.

(iii) The Contributed Systems and all related businesses of the
Contributed Entities or, with respect to the Asset Contributed Systems, the

the FCC all material filings, including but not limited to cable television
registration statements, annual reports and aeronautical frequency usage notices
that are required under the rules and regulations of the FCC.

(iv) The Contributed Entities or, with respect to the Asset
Contributed Systems, the Contributed System Entities have conducted all system
and microwave performance tests and all Cumulative Leakage Index ("CLI") related
tests applicable to the Contributed Systems and have maintained records which
accurately and completely reflect in all material respects all results required
to be shown thereon. The Contributed Entities or, with respect to the Asset
Contributed Systems, the Contributed System Entities have corrected any
radiation leakage of the Contributed Systems required to be corrected in
connection with the monitoring obligations and have otherwise complied in all
material respects with all applicable CLI rules and regulations. The
Contributed Systems are in compliance in all material respects with all signal
leakage criteria set forth in 47 CFR Section 76.611.

(v) For each relevant semi-annual reporting period, the Company has
timely filed or caused to be filed with the United States Copyright Office all
required Statements of Account in true and correct form, and has paid when due
all required copyright royalty fee payments in the correct amount, relating to
the Contributed Systems' carriage of television broadcast signals.

(vi) Other than requests of network non-duplication and syndicated
exclusivity protection, neither the Company nor any of the Contributed Entities
or any of the Company's Subsidiaries has received any requests, notices or
demands, whether written or oral, from the FCC or any other Governmental Entity,
challenging or questioning the rights of the Contributed Entities or Contributed
System

-36-

Entities to operate the Contributed Systems or carry any signal or requesting
signal carriage. All of the broadcast television signals carried by the
Contributed Systems are carried either pursuant to the must-carry
requirements or pursuant to executed retransmission consent agreements,
accurate, complete and correct copies of which have been made available to
Parent.

(vii) The regulated rates for services and equipment charged by any
Contributed System, including the rates for any "MIGRATED PRODUCT TIERS" (as
such term is defined by the FCC as of the date of this Agreement), (I) comply in
all material respects with FCC's rules establishing maximum permitted rates for
regulated services and equipment, (II) have been approved by the FCC under a
rate settlement with the Company with respect to a Contributed System or (III)
are subject to an order by the FCC or other Governmental Entity requiring a
Contributed System to adjust such rates. The Company has made available to
Parent accurate, complete, and correct copies of all FCC rate justification
forms and materials (including Forms 393, 1200, 1205, 1210, and 1240) filed with
the FCC and any other Governmental Entity for each of the Contributed Systems
that are required to file such forms and materials, and such forms have been
filed with the appropriate regulatory body in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable requirements. The Company has also made available
to Parent an accurate, complete, and correct copy of any rate settlement
agreement entered into with the FCC affecting any Contributed System. Section
5.1(x) of the Company Disclosure Letter lists each Contributed System and
regulated rate that is the subject of a pending challenge before the FCC or any
other Governmental Entity and the Governmental Entity before which each such
challenge is pending. Section 5.1(x) of the Company Disclosure Letter lists
each Contributed System subject to an order described in subclause (III) above,
and the rate reduction required by each such order.

(viii) The Company has made available to Parent, to the extent it
possesses them, accurate, complete, and correct copies of each material inquiry,
request for information, report, directive, and similar communications received
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the FCC or any other Governmental
Entity that relates to the obligations of the Contributed Entities with respect
to any of the Contributed Systems under the Communications Act. The Company has
also made available to Parent a copy of each written response by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries to each such inquiry, request for information, report,
directive, or similar communication.

-37-

(y) ACCREDITED INVESTOR; INVESTMENT INTENT. Each of the Company and
the transferors receiving shares of Parent Common Stock in the Contribution is
an "accredited investor" within the meaning of the Securities Act and is
acquiring such shares for its own account and for investment purposes only and
not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof
in violation of the Securities Act. The Company acknowledges its understanding
that the offering and sale of the shares of Parent Common Stock in the
Contribution is intended to be exempt from the registration under the Securities
Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof.

(z) DISCLOSURE. No representation or warranty made by the Company in
this Agreement nor any document, written information, statement, financial
statement, certificate, Schedule or Exhibit prepared and furnished by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its representatives pursuant hereto or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken together,
contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or
will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements or facts
contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
furnished, not misleading. To the best knowledge of the Company, there is no
event, fact or condition that would have a Contributed Systems Material Adverse
Effect, or that reasonably could be expected to do so, that has not been set
forth in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter or in the Schedules.

5.2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CSC, PARENT AND MERGER SUB.
Except as set forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the
disclosure letter delivered to the Company or TCI by CSC on or prior to entering
into this Agreement (the "PARENT DISCLOSURE LETTER"), CSC, Parent and Merger Sub
each hereby represent and warrant to the Company that:

(a) CAPITALIZATION OF MERGER SUB AND PARENT. The authorized capital
stock (i) of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01

Shares, all of the outstanding shares of which are validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable, 80,000,000 Parent Class B Shares, none of which are issued
or outstanding as of the date hereof, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
par value $.01 per share, none of which are issued or outstanding as of the date
hereof. All of the issued and outstanding capital

-38-

stock of Merger Sub is, and as of immediately prior to the Effective Time
will be, owned by Parent, and all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of Parent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be owned by CSC.
There are (i) no other shares of capital stock or voting securities of
Merger Sub or Parent, (ii) no securities of Merger Sub or Parent convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities of
Merger Sub or Parent, respectively, and (iii) no options or other rights to
acquire from Merger Sub or Parent, and no obligations of Merger Sub or Parent
to issue, any capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for capital stock or voting securities of Merger Sub or
Parent, except (A) in the case of Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to the
Merger and (B) in the case of Parent, pursuant to the Partnership
Contribution, the Contribution, the Preferred Shares, the Parent Class B
Shares, the CSC Stock Plans and in respect of any such other obligations of
CSC outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Neither of
Merger Sub nor Parent has conducted any business prior to the date hereof or
has any, and prior to the Effective Time will not have any, assets,
liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its
formation and pursuant to the Partnership Contribution, the Reorganization,
this Agreement and the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. CSC and Parent have delivered to the Company true and
complete copies of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (or
comparable governing instruments) of CSC, Parent and each of CSC's
Significant Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date hereof.

(b) ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND QUALIFICATION. Each of CSC and
its "SIGNIFICANT SUBSIDIARIES" (as defined in Rule 1.02(w) of Regulation S-X
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"EXCHANGE ACT")) is a corporation or partnership duly organized, validly
existing and, in the case of corporate entities, in good standing under the laws
of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate,
partnership or similar power and authority to own and operate its properties and
assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to
do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or partnership in
each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of its properties or conduct
of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so
qualified or in such good standing, when taken together with all other such
failures, is not reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

-39-

As used in this Agreement, the term "PARENT MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT"
means a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties, business
or results of operations of CSC and Parent and their Subsidiaries taken as a
whole, excluding such effects proximately caused by any of the Contributed
Entities, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) CAPITAL STRUCTURE OF CSC. The authorized capital stock of CSC
consists of (i) 50,000,000 CSC Class A Shares, of which 13,722,151 shares were
outstanding as of the close of business on June 6, 1997, and 20,000,000 CSC
Class B Shares, of which 11,119,709 shares were outstanding as of the close of
business on June 6, 1997, and (ii) such number of Preferred Shares as set forth
in Section 5.2(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, of which such number of
shares were outstanding as of the close of business on March 31, 1997 as set
forth in Section 5.2(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter. All of the outstanding
Shares and the Preferred Shares have been duly authorized and are validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. CSC has no Shares or Preferred Shares
reserved for or subject to issuance, except that, as of March 31, 1997, there
were approximately 648,211 CSC Class A Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to
the CSC Amended and Restated Employee Stock Plan, 1,500,000 CSC Class A Shares
reserved for issuance pursuant to the CSC First Amended and Restated 1996
Employee Stock Plan and 60,000 CSC Class A Shares reserved for issuance pursuant
to the CSC 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "CSC
STOCK PLANS"), the same number of CSC Class A Shares subject to issuance upon
conversion of the same number of CSC Class B Shares (including all such CSC
Class B Shares subject to issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) and
5,115,600 CSC Class A Shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the 8 1/2%
Series I Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock of CSC. Each of
the outstanding shares of capital stock of each of CSC's Significant
Subsidiaries and, after the Effective Time, each of Parent's Significant
Subsidiaries is, with respect to such Significant Subsidiaries that are
corporations, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and,
except as disclosed in the CSC Reports filed prior to the date hereof or as set
forth in Section 5.2(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, is owned by a direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC or, after the Effective Time, of Parent,
free and clear of any Lien. Except as disclosed in the CSC Reports filed prior
to the date hereof or as set forth above and in Section 5.2(c) of the Parent
Disclosure Letter, there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options,
warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights,

-40-

repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments to issue or to sell
any shares of capital stock or other securities of CSC or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into
or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire,
any securities of CSC or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, and no securities
or obligation evidencing such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding. CSC
does not have outstanding any Voting Debt having the right to vote with the
stockholders of CSC on any matter.

(d) CORPORATE AUTHORITY. (i) Each of CSC, Parent and Merger Sub has
all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action
necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, subject only to (A) any
stockholder approval necessary to permit the issuance of the shares of Parent
Common Stock required to be issued pursuant to the Contribution and (B) the vote
of a majority of the outstanding Shares voting together as a single class to
approve the Merger (together, the "PARENT REQUISITE VOTES"). This Agreement is
a valid and binding agreement of CSC, Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against
each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity
Exception.

(ii) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent will have taken all necessary
action to permit it to issue the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
required to be issued pursuant to the Contribution and the Merger. The Parent
Common Stock, when issued in connection with the Contribution and the Merger,
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and no stockholder of
Parent will have any preemptive right of subscription or purchase in respect
thereof.

(e) GOVERNMENTAL FILINGS; NO VIOLATIONS. (i) Other than the filings
and/or notices (A) pursuant to Section 1.3, (B) under the HSR Act, the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (C) to comply with state securities or
"blue sky" laws, (D) required to be made with the American Stock Exchange, Inc.
(the "AMEX") and (E) as disclosed in Section 5.2(e) of the Parent Disclosure
Letter, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by CSC,
Parent or Merger Sub with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals,
permits or authorizations required to be obtained by CSC, Parent or Merger Sub
from, any Governmental Entity, in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by CSC, Parent and Merger Sub and the consummation by CSC, Parent
and Merger Sub of the

-41-

Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, except those
that the failure to make or obtain are not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect or prevent or
materially delay or materially impair the ability of CSC, Parent or Merger
Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by CSC,
Parent and Merger Sub do not, and the consummation by CSC, Parent and Merger Sub
of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not,
constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws of CSC, Parent and Merger Sub or the
comparable governing instruments of any of their Significant Subsidiaries, (B) a
breach of or violation of or a default under, or the acceleration of any
obligations of or the creation of a Lien on the assets of CSC or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries (with or without notice, lapse of time or both)
pursuant to, any Contracts binding upon CSC or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries or any Law or governmental or non-governmental permit or license to
which CSC or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is subject or (C) any change in
the rights or obligations of any party under any of the Contracts, except, in
the case of clause (B) or (C) above, for any breach, violation, default,
acceleration, creation or change that, individually or in the aggregate, is not
reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect or prevent,
materially delay or materially impair the ability of CSC, Parent or Merger Sub
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 5.2(e)
of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list of
Contracts of CSC and its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to which consents or
waivers are or may be required prior to consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not subject to the material adverse
effect or materiality exception set forth with respect to clauses (B) and (C)
above), other than any such Contract (x) the amount that could be paid or
received thereunder after the CSC Audit Date does not exceed $100,000 per annum
and $250,000 in the aggregate or (y) that is terminable by the CSC or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries, as the case may be, without penalty on less than 60
days' notice.

(f) CSC REPORTS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. CSC has delivered to the
Company each registration statement, report, proxy statement or information
statement prepared by it since December 31, 1996 (the "CSC AUDIT DATE"),
including (i) CSC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

-42-

December 31, 1996 and (ii) CSC's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended March 31, 1997, each in the form (including exhibits, annexes and any
amendments thereto) filed with the SEC (collectively, including any such
reports filed subsequent to the date hereof, the "CSC REPORTS"). As of their
respective dates, the CSC Reports did not, and any CSC Reports filed with the
SEC subsequent to the date hereof will not, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Each of the
consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the
CSC Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents, or
will fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of CSC and its Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the
consolidated statements of income and of changes in financial position
included in or incorporated by reference into the CSC Reports (including any
related notes and schedules) fairly presents, or will fairly present, in all
material respects, the results of operations, retained earnings and changes
in financial position, as the case may be, of CSC and its Subsidiaries for
the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements,
to notes and normal year-end audit adjustments that will not be material in
amount or effect), in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein.

(g) ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Except as disclosed in the CSC
Reports filed prior to the date hereof, since the CSC Audit Date, there has not
been (i) any change in the financial condition, properties, business or results
of operations of CSC and its Subsidiaries or any event or development or
combination of events or developments that, individually or in the aggregate,
has had or is reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such effect resulting from any change (x) in law,
rule, or regulation or generally accepted accounting principles or
interpretations thereof that applies to both CSC or such Subsidiary and the
Contributed Systems or (y) in economic or business conditions generally or in
the cable industry or programming industry specifically shall not be considered
when determining if a Parent Material Adverse Effect has occurred; (ii) any
material damage, destruction or other casualty loss with respect to any material
asset or property owned, leased or otherwise used by CSC or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries, whether or not covered by insurance; (iii) any change
by CSC in accounting principles, practices or

-43-

methods; or (iv) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or
other distribution in respect of the capital stock of CSC or Parent, except
for dividends or other distributions on its capital stock publicly announced
prior to the date hereof and regular dividends in respect of the Preferred
Shares.

(h) LITIGATION AND LIABILITIES. Except as disclosed in the CSC
Reports filed prior to the date hereof, there are no (i) civil, criminal or
administrative actions, suits, claims, hearings, investigations or proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of CSC, threatened against CSC or any of its
Affiliates or (ii) obligations or liabilities, whether or not accrued,
contingent or otherwise and whether or not required to be disclosed, including
those relating to environmental and occupational safety and health matters, or
any other facts or circumstances of which CSC has knowledge that could result in
any claims against, or obligations or liabilities of, CSC or any of its
Affiliates, except, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, for those
that are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a
Parent Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially burden or materially
impair the ability of CSC, Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. (i) A copy of each bonus, deferred
compensation, pension, retirement, profit-sharing, thrift, savings, employee
stock ownership, stock bonus, stock purchase, restricted stock, stock option,
employment, termination, severance, compensation, medical, health or other plan,
agreement, policy or arrangement that covers current or former employees or
directors of CSC and its Subsidiaries and is in effect on the date hereof, other
than multiemployer plans (the "CSC COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS"), and any
trust arrangement or insurance contract forming a part of such CSC Compensation
and Benefits Plans has been made available to the Company prior to the date
hereof. The CSC Compensation and Benefit Plans are listed in Section 5.2(i) of
the Parent Disclosure Letter and any "change of control" or similar provision
therein are specifically identified in Section 5.2.(i) of the Parent Disclosure
Letter.

(ii) All CSC Compensation and Benefit Plans are in substantial
compliance with all applicable Laws, including the Code and ERISA. Each CSC
Compensation and Benefit Plan that is an "employee pension benefit plan" within
the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a "CSC PENSION PLAN") and that is intended
to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable
deter-

-44-

mination letter from the IRS with respect to TRA, and CSC is not aware of any
circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable
determination letter. As of the date hereof, there is no pending or, to the
knowledge of CSC, threatened material litigation relating to the CSC
Compensation and Benefit Plans. Neither CSC nor any of its Subsidiaries has
engaged in a transaction with respect to any CSC Compensation and Benefit
Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the
date hereof, would subject CSC or any of its Subsidiaries to a material tax
or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

(iii) As of the date hereof, no liability under Subtitle C or D of
Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by CSC or any
Subsidiary with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated "single-employer
plan", within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or
formerly maintained by any of them, or the single-employer plan of any entity
which is considered an ERISA Affiliate of CSC. CSC and its Subsidiaries have
not incurred and do not expect to incur any withdrawal liability with respect
to a multiemployer plan under Subtitle E to Title IV of ERISA. No notice of
a "reportable event", within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which
the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be
filed for any CSC Pension Plan or by any ERISA Affiliate within the 12-month
period ending on the date hereof or will be required to be filed in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any
CSC Compensation and Benefit Plan or of the date hereof have been timely made
or have been reflected on the most recent consolidated balance sheet filed or
incorporated by reference in the CSC Reports prior to the date hereof.
Neither any CSC Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of an ERISA
Affiliate of CSC has an "accumulated funding deficiency" (whether or not
waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of
ERISA. Neither CSC nor its Subsidiaries has provided, or is required to
provide, security to any CSC Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of
an ERISA Affiliate of CSC pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

(v) Under each CSC Pension Plan which is a single-employer plan, as
of the last day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date hereof,
the actuarially determined present value of all "benefit liabilities", within
the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of
the actuarial assumptions

-45-

contained in the CSC Pension Plan's most recent actuarial valuation), did not
exceed the then current value of the assets of such CSC Pension Plan, and
there has been no material change in the financial condition of such CSC
Pension Plan since the last day of the most recent plan year. The withdrawal
liability of CSC and its Subsidiaries under each CSC Compensation and Benefit
Plan which is a multiemployer plan, determined as if a complete withdrawal
has occurred as of the date hereof, does not exceed $100,000.

(vi) Neither CSC nor its Subsidiaries have any obligations for retiree
health and life benefits under any CSC Compensation and Benefit Plan, except as
set forth in the Parent Disclosure Letter. CSC or its Subsidiaries may amend or
terminate any such plan under the terms of such plan at any time without
incurring any material liability thereunder.

(vii) The consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will not (x) entitle any employees of CSC or its
Subsidiaries to severance pay, (y) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or

Subsidiaries or any business (within the meaning of Rule 11-01(d) of
Regulation S-X promulgated under the Exchange Act) that, if it were a
Subsidiary, would be a Significant Subsidiary (it being agreed and understood
that any change that would prevent, modify or terminate any contractual
relationships among any of the parties hereto or any of their respective
Affiliates entered into after May 1, 1997 (excluding the agreements
contemplated in this Agreement) shall not be deemed to be materially
adverse). Subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information,
CSC, Parent and TCI each shall have the right to review in advance, and to
the extent practicable each will consult the other on, all the information
relating to CSC, Parent or TCI, as the case may be, and any of their
respective Subsidiaries, that may appear in any filing made with, or written
materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in
connection with each of the Transactions and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of
TCI, CSC and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

(c) TCI, CSC and Parent each shall, upon request by the other,
furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries,
directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably

-60-

necessary or advisable in connection with the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the
S-4 Registration Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or
application made by or on behalf of CSC, Parent, TCI or any of their
respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in
connection with each of the Transactions and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) TCI and CSC and Parent each shall keep the other apprised of the
status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated
hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notice or other
communications received by CSC or Parent or TCI, as the case may be, or any of
its Subsidiaries, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with
respect to the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The Company and CSC each shall give prompt notice to the other of
any change that is reasonably likely to result in a Contributed Systems Material
Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, respectively.

(e) As soon as practicable after the date hereof but in no event
later than 75 days after the date of the Original Agreement, the Company shall
prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to CSC audited
financial statements and unaudited financial statements (collectively, the
"PROXY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS") for the combined operations of the Contributed
Systems in form and substance as is required in connection with the
Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the S-4 Registration Statement. The Proxy
Financial Statements shall be prepared under the supervision of the audit
partner of KPMG Peat Marwick who is in charge of the CSC audit and in
cooperation and consultation with CSC and its Representatives. CSC and the
Company shall each be responsible for one-half of the costs and reasonable
expenses associated with the audit and preparation required under this
paragraph; PROVIDED, that if the Contribution Closing is not consummated other
than as a result of a breach or default by CSC, Parent or Merger Sub, the
Company shall be responsible and pay or reimburse all of such costs and
expenses.

6.6. TAXATION. Neither CSC, Parent or Merger Sub nor TCI shall take
or cause to be taken any action, whether before or after the Effective Time,
that would cause the Merger, the Contribution or, if applicable, the Partnership
Contribution not to qualify as an exchange governed by Section 351 of the Code.

-61-

6.7. ACCESS. Upon reasonable notice, and except as may otherwise be
required by applicable law, TCI and CSC and Parent each shall (and shall cause
its Subsidiaries to) afford the other's officers, employees, counsel,
accountants and other authorized representatives ("REPRESENTATIVES") access,
during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the consummation of
the Contribution Closing, to its properties, books, contracts and records and,
during such period, each shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) furnish
promptly to the other all information concerning its business, properties and
personnel as may reasonably be requested, PROVIDED that no investigation
pursuant to this Section shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation
or warranty made by the Company, CSC, Parent or Merger Sub, and PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that the foregoing shall not require TCI or CSC or Parent to permit any
inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of
TCI or CSC or Parent, as the case may be, would result in the disclosure of any
trade secrets of third parties or violate any of its obligations with respect to
confidentiality if TCI or CSC or Parent, as the case may be, shall have used
reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such
inspection or disclosure. All requests for information made pursuant to this
Section shall be directed to an executive officer of the Company or CSC or
Parent, as the case may be, or such Person as may be designated by any of its
officers, as the case may be. All such information shall be governed by the
terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

6.8. CERTAIN CONTRACTS. The Company agrees to take such action as
necessary so that at the Contribution Closing none of the Contributed Entities
is a party or Contributed Systems is subject to or bound by any programming,
affiliation or similar Contracts except as CSC may approve in writing prior to
the Contribution Closing Date or as set forth on Section 5.1(n) of the Company
Disclosure Letter.

6.9. STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING AND DE-LISTING. CSC and Parent shall use
their respective best reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common
Stock to be issued in the Merger and pursuant to the Contribution (including any
shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
securities of Parent) to be approved for listing on the AMEX subject to official
notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date. The Surviving Corporation shall
use its best efforts to cause the CSC Class A Shares to be de-listed from the
AMEX and

-62-

de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following the
Effective Time.

6.10. PUBLICITY. The initial press release regarding the
Contribution shall be a joint press release by CSC and TCI, and the initial
press release(s) regarding the Partnership Contribution, the Reorganization
and/or the Merger shall be a press release by CSC, and thereafter TCI and CSC
and Parent each shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press
releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the
Contribution and prior to making any filings with any third party and/or any
Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange) with respect
thereto, except as may be required by law or by obligations pursuant to any
listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange.

6.11. BENEFITS; BOARD REPRESENTATION; EMPLOYEES.

(a) STOCK OPTIONS; CONJUNCTIVE RIGHTS.

(i) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares
(a "CSC OPTION") under the CSC Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, shall be
deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as
were applicable under such CSC Option, the same number of shares of Parent
Common Stock subject to the CSC Option and at the same exercise price in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, each of the outstanding
"conjunctive stock appreciation rights" and "bonus award shares" of CSC (as
described in the CSC Reports), whether vested or unvested, shall, at the
Effective Time be deemed to constitute a conjunctive stock appreciation right or
bonus award share of Parent, as the case may be, on the same terms and
conditions as were applicable under such conjunctive stock appreciation right or
bonus award share of CSC, as the case may be, as in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time.

(ii) Effective at the Effective Time, Parent shall assume each CSC
Option and conjunctive stock appreciation right or bonus award share of CSC in
accordance with the terms of the CSC Stock Plans and other arrangements, as the
case may be, under which it was issued and the stock option agreement or other
agreement, as the case may be, by which it is evidenced. At or prior to the
Effective Time, Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for
issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon
exercise of CSC Options assumed by it in accordance with this Section.

-63-

As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall file a
registration statement on Form S-3 or Form S-8, as the case may be (or any
successor or other appropriate forms), or another appropriate form with
respect to the Parent Common Stock subject to such CSC Options, and shall use
its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration
statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses
contained therein) for so long as such CSC Options remain outstanding.

(b) ELECTION TO PARENT'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Effective as of the
Effective Time, CSC shall cause two persons to be designated by TCI as soon as
reasonably practicable after the date hereof and no later than prior to the
substantial completion of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be appointed to
Parent's board of directors as designees of the Parent Class B Shares as
contemplated by the Stockholders Agreement.

(c) EMPLOYEES. (i) Parent or CSC may, but shall have no obligation
to, employ or offer employment to any employee engaged in the business of a
Contributed System, including employees engaged in advertising sales for a
Contributed System. Not less than 120 days (or such later date as the Company
and CSC may mutually agree) after the date of this Agreement, CSC shall provide
the Company a list, which may be updated by CSC from time to time to reflect
changes in employees or staffing after such date (provided such updates are not
material overall), of employees who will be offered employment after the Closing
Date (the "HIRED EMPLOYEES"). CSC shall coordinate the hiring procedures
relating to such Hired Employees with the Company.

(ii) The Company will pay or cause to be paid to all employees
employed in the Contributed Systems all compensation, including salaries,
commissions, bonuses, deferred compensation, severance, insurance, pensions,
profit sharing, vacation (other than vacation and sick leave which is allowed to
be carried over pursuant to Section 6.11(c)(iii)), sick pay and other
compensation or benefits to which they are entitled for periods prior to the
Contribution Closing, including, without limitation, all amounts, if any,
payable on account of the termination of their employment. The Company agrees
to cooperate in all reasonable respects with CSC to allow CSC to evaluate and
interview employees of the Contributed Systems to make hiring decisions.

-64-

(iii) The Company will remain solely responsible for, and will
indemnify and hold harmless Parent and CSC from and against all losses
arising from or with respect to, all salaries and all severance, vacation,
medical, sick, holiday, continuation coverage and other compensation or
benefits to which its employees may be entitled, whether or not such
employees may be hired by CSC, as a result of their employment by it prior to
the Contribution Closing, the termination of their employment prior to the
Contribution Closing, the obligation, if any, to notify and/or bargain with
any labor organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or pursuant to any applicable legal requirement (including without
limitation WARN) or otherwise relating to their employment prior to the
Closing Time. All Hired Employees shall be entitled to carry forward all
accrued vacation and sick leave limited to the maximum amount to be carried
forward under Parent's standard policies.

(iv) Parent shall after the Contribution Closing provide employee
benefit plans, programs and policies to Hired Employees that, in the
aggregate, will provide benefits to such employees that are no less favorable
in the aggregate than those provided to similarly situated employees of
Parent and its Subsidiaries. Hired Employees of the Contributed System
Entities and the Contributed Entities shall be given credit for all service
with the Company, the Contributed System Entities and the Contributed
Entities, or with any prior owner or operator of a Contributed System to the
extent that such employee received time and grade credit from the Company,
the Contributed System Entities and the Contributed Entities, under all
employee benefit plans, programs and policies (including any bonus program)
of Parent and its Subsidiaries in which they become participants for purposes
of eligibility and vesting but not for purposes of benefit accrual.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of this subsection (c)(iv)
shall not apply to employees who are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement.

(v) Effective as of the Contribution Closing, all Hired Employees
shall cease to be covered by the Company's employee welfare benefit plans,
including plans, programs, policies and arrangements which provide medical
and dental coverage, life and accident insurance, disability coverage, and
vacation and severance pay (collectively, "WELFARE PLANS") and all other
employee benefit plans of the Company.

(vi) All claims and obligations under, pursuant to, or in
connection with, any Welfare Plan or other

-65-

employee benefit plan of the Company affecting employees of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, including any Hired Employee, incurred on or before
the Contribution Closing or resulting or arising from events or occurrences
commencing or occurring on or before the Contribution Closing will remain the
responsibility of the Company. The Company shall retain all obligations for
payment of long- or short-term disability claims arising from disabilities
that occurred prior to the Contribution Closing and up until such time as the
employee returns to work with one of the Contributed Systems. Parent shall be
responsible for payment of long and short-term disability claims that arise
from disabilities that occur after the Contribution Closing, or any claims of
a Hired Employee after such employee has returned to work with one of the
Contributed Systems, on a full-time, unrestricted basis for at least 30 days.

(vii) If Parent or any of its Subsidiaries discharges any Hired
Employee prior to 60 days following the Contribution Closing, Parent shall
pay such discharged Hired Employee the severance benefits that would have
been payable by the Company if such discharge had occurred prior to the
Contribution Closing and the Company shall reimburse Parent and its
Subsidiaries for all claims and obligations for any and all such benefits.
Any claims or obligations arising in connection with any discharges of any
Hired Employees after such date shall be the responsibility and obligation of
the Parent and its Subsidiaries and not of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

6.12. EXPENSES. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges
and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated in Article IV,
and Parent shall reimburse the Surviving Corporation for such charges and
expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.5(e) and Section 9.10,
whether or not any of the Transactions are consummated, all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions and
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the
party incurring such expense.

6.13. INDEMNIFICATION; DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' INSURANCE. (a)
From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless,
to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law (and Parent shall also
advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable
law; PROVIDED the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an
undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such
Person is not entitled to indemnification), each present and former

-66-

director and officer of CSC and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "D&O
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") against any costs or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(collectively, "COSTS") incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring
at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at
or after the Effective Time to the fullest extent that CSC or such Subsidiary
would have been permitted as of the date hereof to indemnify such person.

(b) Any D&O Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification
under paragraph (a) of this Section 6.13, upon learning of any such claim,
action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Parent
thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Parent of any
liability it may have to such D&O Indemnified Party except to the extent that
such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of
any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising
before or after the Effective Time), any D&O Indemnified Party may retain
counsel satisfactory to him or her, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation
shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the D&O
Indemnified Party promptly as statements therefor are received. Parent and
the Surviving Corporation will cooperate and assist in the defense of any
such matter. If such indemnity is not available with respect to any D&O
Indemnified Party, then the Surviving Corporation and the D&O Indemnified
Party shall contribute to the amount payable in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect relative faults and benefits.

(c) The Surviving Corporation or Parent shall maintain CSC's
officers' and directors' liability insurance ("D&O INSURANCE") on
substantially the same terms as in existence on the date hereof for a period
of six years after the Effective Time so long as such insurance can be
obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Prior to the Effective Time,
Parent shall enter into indemnification agreements with its officers and
directors on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the
indemnification agreements of the officers and directors of CSC as of the
date hereof.

(d) The provisions of this Section are intended to be for the
benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties,
their heirs and their representatives.

-67-

6.14. PREFERRED SHARES. Prior to the Effective Time, CSC and
Parent shall enter into such agreements or other documents as required under
the respective certificates of designation of the Preferred Shares, as may be
amended, to give effect to the consummation of the Merger and, if applicable,
the Charter Amendments.

6.15. OTHER ACTIONS BY THE PARTIES. (a) TERMINATION OF AFFILIATED
AGREEMENTS. Prior to the Contribution Closing, the Company shall take all
actions necessary or appropriate so that the Contributed Entities and the
Asset Contributed Systems, without any payment or transfer of value to any of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall not be subject to and shall
have no debt, liability, commitment or other obligation of any kind
whatsoever, whether known or unknown, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or inchoate, secured or
unsecured, accrued, fixed, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due
or to become due, to the Company or any of its Affiliates after the
Contribution Closing (including (i) all borrowing and Contracts between (x)
the Contributed Entities or any of the Asset Contributed Systems and (y) the
Company or its Affiliates and (ii) any obligations to pay dividends or other
distributions to the Company or any of its Affiliates), in all cases other
than as expressly set forth on Section 6.15(a) of the Company Disclosure
Letter and other than solely among the Contributed Entities.

(b) STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT. At or prior to the Contribution
Closing, Parent and TCI shall execute and deliver the Stockholders Agreement.

(c) OTHER TRANSACTIONS. In addition, CSC, Parent and the
Surviving Corporation shall consummate and cause to be consummated the
following transactions:

(i) At the Merger Closing and effective immediately after the
Effective Time, Parent shall amend its certificate of incorporation to change
its name to "Cablevision Systems Corporation".

(ii) Following the Contribution Closing, the Reorganization may be
consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Reorganization
Agreement.

(d) CERTAIN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Company and TCI agree that
Parent shall have (A) the right, for a period of 120 days following the date
of the Contribution Closing, to the reasonable use of any Intellectual
Property Rights of the Company and TCI relating to the businesses of

-68-

the Contributed Entities and the Asset Contributed Systems including signs,
purchase orders, invoices, brochures, labels, letterheads or billing
documents and (B) the right (I) for a period of 120 days following the date
of the Contribution Closing, to the extent reasonably required in connection
with the conduct of their businesses after such date, to include a statement
indicating that, prior to being acquired by Parent, the businesses of the
Contributed Entities and the Asset Contributed Systems were conducted under
their respective corporate names prior to the Contribution Closing and (II)
to the extent required by applicable law, to indicate by footnote or other
similar device that information concerning prior financial or operating
performance results or other similar historical information about the
Contributed Systems arose when they conducted their respective businesses
under their respective corporate or business names prior to the Contribution
Closing.

(e) CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall protect, defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Parent, CSC and their principals, shareholders, directors,
officers, affiliates, agents, and employees ("INDEMNIFIED PARTIES"), from and
against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, damages, liabilities,
fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings, orders,
judgments, remedial action requirements, investigations, property or personal
injury claims, natural resource damage claims, enforcement actions and all
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) arising under or relating to any Environmental
Laws and asserted by any Person other than any of the Indemnified Parties in
connection with any release or contamination ("PRE-EXISTING CONTAMINATION")
involving Hazardous Substances (whether in soil, water, air or structures)
that at or prior to the Contribution Closing existed at or emanated from
property owned by UA-Columbia Cablevision of Westchester, Inc. generally
known as ▇▇▇-▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇-▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇ excluding only environmental liabilities (i) for which a Contributed
Subsidiary is able to recover under the September 1, 1988 agreement between
▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, UA-Columbia Cablevision of Westchester, Inc.,
Electro-Materials Corp. of America and Rohm and ▇▇▇▇ Company or (ii) that are
not attributable to Pre-Existing Contamination. This indemnity shall survive
indefinitely and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
Company, Parent and CSC. To the extent that the Company shall have
indemnified any of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this

-69-

Section 6.15(e), the Company shall have a right of subrogation as to claims
that the Indemnified Parties may have against any other Person, and the
Indemnified Parties shall assign to the Company their rights against such
other Person.

(f) FURTHER ACTIONS. The Company, Parent and the Surviving
Corporation shall enter into, file and perform all such agreements,
indentures, charter amendments, certificates of designation, documents,
certificates, stockholder and director consents and such other instruments as
are required, advisable or desirable in order to give full effect to this
Section 6.15 and to the Partnership Contribution in accordance with the
Partnership Contribution Agreement.

6.16. PARENT, CSC AND THE COMPANY VOTES. Parent, CSC and the
Company shall vote (or consent with respect to) or cause to be voted (or a
consent to be given with respect to) any shares of capital stock of Merger
Sub, the Surviving Corporation and Parent, respectively, beneficially owned
by it or any of its Affiliates or with respect to which it or any of its
Affiliates has the power (by agreement, proxy or otherwise) to cause to be
voted (or to provide a consent), in favor of the adoption and approval of
this Agreement and any and all of the Transactions at any meeting of
stockholders of CSC, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation at which
this Agreement and/or any or all of the Transactions shall be submitted for
adoption and approval and at all adjournments or postponements thereof (or,
if applicable, by any action of stockholders of CSC, Parent, Merger Sub or
the Surviving Corporation by consent in lieu of a meeting).

6.17. RELEASED INDEBTEDNESS AND FIBERTECH CASH; COMPANY
RESTRUCTURING; TAX SHARING; SURETY LIABILITIES; AND DISCLOSURE UPDATES: (a)
RELEASED INDEBTEDNESS AND FIBERTECH CASH. Without limiting the generality of
any other provisions of this Agreement, prior to the Contribution Closing the
Company shall take any and all actions necessary or appropriate so that the
Contributed Entities shall have no, and the Asset Contributed Systems shall
not be subject to or encumbered by any, outstanding Indebtedness as of the
Contribution Closing, in both cases other than (I) an aggregate amount of
debt for borrowed money, including in such amount the principal of such debt
and any interest accrued thereon and fees and other amounts payable in
respect thereof, not to exceed (assuming payment in full at the Contribution
Closing) $669,000,000 (the "ASSUMED COMPANY DEBT") at the consummation of the

-70-

Contribution Closing, (II) Liabilities not material in amount and accounted
for in Section 3.4. and (III) any debt obligations or other liabilities
solely among the Contributed Entities. The Assumed Company Debt will be due
and payable in full as of the Contribution Closing and the parties agree
that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary:
(i) the existence of the Assumed Company Debt, or the occurrence of a default
thereunder as a result of the Contribution, shall not cause the Company to be
in breach or default of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements in this Agreement; and (ii) CSC or Parent, as of the Contribution
Closing, shall pay or cause to be paid the Assumed Company Debt in full, or
shall cause the Company and any of its Affiliates (other than Parent and its
Subsidiaries, including, after the Contribution Closing, the Contributed
Entities) that are liable (directly or contingently) for payment of the
Assumed Company Debt to be unconditionally released from any liability with
respect to the Assumed Company Debt. In the event that the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries receive any cash ("Fibertech Cash") in respect of any
prepayments of the Facilities Lease Agreement dated June 1, 1995 between TKR
Cable Company (Owner) and New Jersey Fiber Technologies (Operator), the
Company shall cause all such cash to remain as and be included as an asset of
the Contributed Entities and Asset Contributed Systems up to and through the
Contribution Closing.

(b) COMPANY RESTRUCTURING. Prior to the Contribution Closing, the
Company shall take or cause to be taken the actions described in Section
6.17(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the "COMPANY RESTRUCTURING"), so
that, immediately prior to the Contribution Closing, all of the Asset
Contributed Systems will be owned by the Contributed System Entities, all of
the Included Contributed Systems will be owned by the Contributed Entities
and all of the outstanding capital stock of the Contributed Entities will be
owned by the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries. The Company
covenants and agrees that none of the actions taken by it or any of its
Affiliates in connection with the Company Restructuring shall cause a breach
or default by the Company of any of its representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

(c) TAX SHARING AGREEMENTS. Any obligations and Contracts
disclosed on Section 5.1(l) of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be
terminated as of immediately prior to the Contribution Closing without
subjecting any

-71-

Contributed Entity or any Asset Contributed System to any liability.

(d) SURETY LIABILITIES. Prior to the Contribution Closing, the
Company shall take any and all actions necessary or appropriate so that the
Contributed Entities shall have no outstanding Surety Liabilities (or
obligations to incur Surety Liabilities) and so that the Asset Contributed
Systems shall not be encumbered by or subject to any outstanding Surety
Liabilities (or obligations to incur Surety Liabilities), in both cases,
other than an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000 and other than
Liabilities accounted for in Section 3.4. CSC or Parent shall cause the
Company and any of its Affiliates including the Contributed System Entities
(other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, including, after the Contribution
Closing, the Contributed Entities) that are liable (directly or contingently)
under the Surety Liabilities to be unconditionally released from any
liability with respect to the Surety Liabilities.

(e) DISCLOSURE UPDATES AND SUPPLEMENTS. On the third business day
before the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a supplement to
the Company Disclosure Letter as of such date, which supplement shall reflect
the consummation of the Company Restructuring but shall not, except as
otherwise expressly noted in this Agreement, be deemed to modify in any
respect the Company Disclosure Letter.

materially burden or materially impair the ability of CSC, Parent or Merger
Sub to consummate the Merger.

(h) TAX OPINION. Parent shall have received the opinion of
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, counsel to Parent, dated the date of the Merger Closing,

TERMS:

1. Simultaneously with the Contribution Closing and/or the Partnership
Contribution, or thereafter, Parent may transfer or cause to be transferred
all or part of the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the
Contributed Subsidiary Capital Stock to one or more direct Subsidiaries of
Parent (each a "First-Tier Transferee Subsidiary") or to one or more direct
Subsidiaries of a First-Tier Transferee Subsidiary.

2. The stock of one or more of the First-Tier Transferee Subsidiaries may be
transferred to an entity that is a member of the CSC Group and that holds
directly or indirectly the other cable properties of the CSC Group.

3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing paragraphs,
(a) the stock of each First-Tier Transferee Subsidiary shall continue to be
held directly by Parent for a period of at least one year after the Closing
Date and (b) CSC will not transfer or distribute to Parent substantially
all of its assets outside the ordinary course of business and will not be
merged into Parent or liquidated or wound-up for a period of at least one
year after the Closing Date, unless in the case of (a) or (b) either
(i) the Company has consented to the stock of such First-Tier Transferee
Subsidiaries ceasing to be held directly by Parent, or to such transfer,
distribution, merger, liquidation or winding-up of CSC, as applicable, or
(ii) CSC or Parent has obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
to the effect that a transaction pursuant to which the stock of such
First-Tier Transferee Subsidiaries ceases to be held directly by Parent
prior to the expiration of such one-year period, or pursuant to which CSC
transfers or distributes substantially of its assets to Parent or is
merged, liquidated or wound-up, as applicable, will not cause the
