Agreement provides that the Company will enter into a Master Distribution
Agreement for the distribution of At Home's At Home service on substantially the
same terms and conditions as TCI, Comcast and Cox. The Master Distribution
Agreement between the Company and At Home has not yet been entered into. The
Agreement provides for the issuance to the Company of a warrant to purchase up
to 7,875,784 shares of At Home's Series A Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.50 per share (the "Warrant"). The Warrant is immediately exercisable, subject

Agreement also provides for the issuance of a warrant to purchase up to
3,071,152 shares of At Home's Series A Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.50 per share under certain conditions (the "Contingent Warrant"). The
Contingent Warrant will become exercisable as and to the extent certain cable
television systems are transferred from TCI and its controlled affiliates to the
Company or its controlled affiliates. These transfers are currently expected to
take place in the first quarter of 1998. The Warrant, the Contingent Warrant and
the Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated October 10, 1997, between At Home and the
Company, attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, are
incorporated herein by reference.

The Company beneficially owns 7,875,784 shares of Series A Common Stock,
representing 8.2% of the outstanding Series A Common Stock and 6.2% of At Home's
outstanding Common Stock (all classes). Upon the vesting of all of the shares
represented by the Contingent Warrant, the Company will beneficially own
10,946,936 shares of Series A Common Stock, representing 11.0% of the
outstanding Series A Common Stock and 8.4% of At Home's outstanding Common Stock
(all classes). The Company has sole voting and dispositive power over all such
shares. Other than the transactions described in Item 4 above, the Company

Restated Stockholders Agreement with TCI, Cox, Comcast and KPCB. The existing
Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6, is
incorporated herein by reference. The Second Amended and Restated Stockholders
Agreement has not yet been entered into. The amendments to the existing
Stockholders Agreement that would be implemented in the Second Amended and
Restated Stockholders Agreement are set forth in the term sheets to the
