         (w) AOL-LA's filing for bankruptcy or its decision not to prevent or
oppose any involuntary filing for bankruptcy;

         (x) adoption or material amendment to any employee benefit or executive
compensation plan or severance payment; and

         (y) hiring or firing any personnel with an annual salary in excess of
$100,000 or increasing their compensation above $100,000.

Each of these actions requires the unanimous approval of the Special Committee
before being submitted for approval by the Board. Because of their role in
choosing the members of the Special Committee, both AOL and the Cisneros Group
effectively have the power to veto these corporate actions. If either AOL or
the Cisneros Group loses its right to representation on the Special Committee,
the Special Committee will be dissolved. If the Special Committee is dissolved
the approval of the Board as a whole will be required to approve any corporate
actions previously evaluated by the Special Committee.
