                                    Exhibit A

         Patrick Francis Dolan ("Mr. Dolan") is currently one of the trustees (a
"Trustee") of each of the trusts listed in the table below (the "Trusts"), which
own in the aggregate 817,410 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Class B Common Stock") of Cablevision Systems Corporation, a
Delaware Corporation (the "Issuer"). The other Trustee(s) of the DC Patrick
Trust is Mary S. Dolan and of the Dolan Progeny Trust are Deborah Ann Dolan and
Paul Joseph Dolan. Class B Common Stock of the Issuer is convertible at the
option of the holder share for share into Class A Common Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Class A Common Stock") of the Issuer.  Mr. Dolan does not has an
economic interest in such shares, but, and as a Trustee of the Trusts, has the
shared power to vote and dispose of such  shares. Under certain rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, so long as Mr. Dolan retains such powers, he
is deemed to have beneficial ownership thereof for purposes of Schedule 13D
reporting. In addition, Mr. Dolan holds 1,900 shares of Class A Common Stock of
the Issuer individually and options to purchase 2,200 shares of Class A Common
Stock which options are exercisable within 60 days.                             

         The following table lists each Trust's name and the name of its
beneficiary or description of its beneficiary class.


Name of Trust                              Beneficiary

DC Patrick Trust                           Patrick Francis Dolan

Dolan Progeny Trust                        All children of Charles F.
                                           Dolan living at any time and
                                           from time to time.

Tara Dolan 1989 Trust                      Tara Dolan

         Pursuant to the provisions of the agreements governing the Trusts, the
economic interest in the shares of the Issuer owned by each Trust is held by
such Trust's beneficiary or, if more than one, such Trust's beneficiary class.
For the Dolan Progeny Trust, distributions of income and principal can be made
in the discretion of the non-beneficiary Trustee, Paul Joseph Dolan, to any one
or more of the members of the Trust's beneficiary class.

The Trusts

The DC Patrick Trust

         For the DC Patrick Trust, distributions of income and principal can be
made in the discretion of the non-beneficiary Trustee, Mary S. Dolan, to the
person for whom the Trust is named, Patrick Francis Dolan (the "Current
Beneficiary"). The Current Beneficiary has the power during his life to appoint
all or part of the DC Patrick Trust to or for the benefit of one or more of his
descendants. Upon the death of the Current Beneficiary, the DC Patrick Trust,
if not previously terminated, will pass as appointed by the Current Beneficiary
to or for the benefit of one or more of his descendants. Any unappointed
portion of such Trust will pass, in further trust, per stirpes to the Current
Beneficiary's then-living descendants, or if none, per stirpes to the
then-living descendants of Charles F. Dolan, or if none, among the heirs-at-law
of Charles F. Dolan. There are two Trustees of the DC Patrick Trust, Patrick
Francis Dolan and Mary S. Dolan.

The Dolan Progeny Trust

         For the Dolan Progeny Trust, the current beneficiary class consists of
the six children of Charles F. Dolan. The Dolan Progeny Trust terminates upon
the death of the survivor of Charles F. Dolan's children, if not previously
terminated. Upon such termination, the Dolan Progeny Trust will pass as
appointed by the unanimous appointment of Charles F. Dolan's children or by the
survivor of them to or for the benefit of any one or more persons or charitable
organizations. Any unappointed portion of the Dolan Progeny Trust will pass, in
further trust, per stirpes to the then-living descendants of Charles F. Dolan,
or if none, among the heirs-at-law of Charles F. Dolan. There are three
Trustees of the Dolan Progeny Trust, Deborah Ann Dolan, Patrick Francis Dolan
and Paul Joseph Dolan.

The Tara Dolan 1989 Trust

         For the Tara Dolan 1989 Trust, until the beneficiary, Tara Dolan,
attains age 21, the income of the Trust may be distributed to or for the
benefit of the beneficiary as the Trustee, Patrick Francis Dolan, in the
Trustee's discretion determines. Any net income not so distributed is to be
accumulated and added to the principal of the Trust. From and after the
beneficiary attaining age 21, all of the net income of the Trust is to be
distributed to the beneficiary. In addition, during the continuance of the Tara
Dolan 1989 Trust, the Trustee in the Trustee's discretion may distribute the
principal of the Trust to or for the benefit of the beneficiary. Upon the
beneficiary attaining age 40, the Trust for the beneficiary terminates and is
to be distributed to the beneficiary. If the beneficiary dies before attaining
age 40, the beneficiary has a testamentary general power of appointment over
the Trust. In default of the exercise of such power of appointment, the Trust
will be distributed to the beneficiary's then-living issue, per stirpes, or if
none, to Charles F. Dolan's then-living issue, per stirpes. Patrick Francis
Dolan is the sole Trustee for the Tara Dolan Trust.

Beneficial Ownership of Beneficiaries and Trusts

         Beneficiaries of any Trust can be said to have only a contingent
economic interest in the securities of the Issuer held by such Trust because
(a) the non-beneficiary Trustee has the sole discretion to distribute or
accumulate the income from each Trust and the sole discretion to distribute the
principal of each Trust to the beneficiary of such Trust or, if more than one,
to any one or more of the members of such Trust's beneficiary class, (b) the
beneficiary class for the Dolan Progeny Trust has not yet closed and (c) the
beneficiary of the Tara Dolan Trust has not attained the age of 21.

(iii) TCI's right to designate two Class B directors, (iv) the right of TCI

          (d) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any
circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (i) a suitable and equitable
provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be
valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such in valid or unenforceable
provision and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such
provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such
invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability
affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application
thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

          (e) Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties hereto, this

hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement,
that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such
failure, the other party will not have an adequate remedy at law or damages.

remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of

requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with any other
party's seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns and shall not be assignable without the written consent of all
other parties hereto.

annexes and schedules hereto) and the Merger Agreement (including any exhibits
and schedules thereto) supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the
entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

CSC and approved by the majority vote of the directors elected by the Class A
Shares and, with respect to each of Parent, the Company and the Class B
Entities, by Parent, the Company and such Class B Entities. No waiver of any
provisions hereof by any party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions
hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing
waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

          (k) No Request for Amendment or Waiver. The Company and the Class B
Entities shall not, and shall cause their respective Controlled Affiliates and
Associates not to, request publicly that Parent or CSC or any of their
respective agents or representatives, directly or indirectly, amend or waive
any provision of this Agreement or make any such request privately if it could
be expected to


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
require Parent or CSC to make a public announcement regarding such request.
