                   assigned to the Issuer its rights relating to channel
                   capacity on AT&T Corporation's cable television systems for
                   the provision of interactive video services under an

                   in connection with the merger of AT&T and

              -    The Issuer adopted a deferred compensation and stock
                   appreciation rights plan for key executives of the Issuer;
                   and

              -    In consideration of all of the foregoing, the Issuer issued
                   to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person, (1)
                   109,450,167 shares of Series B Stock and (2) 150,000 shares
