     See Item 3 which is incorporated by reference herein.

     Subject to the foregoing, the Reporting Person intends to continuously
review its investment in the Issuer, and may in the future determine (i) to
acquire additional securities of the Issuer, through open market purchases and
private agreements, (ii) to dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the
Issuer owned by it in the market, in privately negotiated transactions or
otherwise or (iii) to take any other available course of action, which could
involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the
results described in the next paragraph of this Item 4.  Notwithstanding
anything contained herein, the Reporting Person specifically reserves the right
to change its intention with respect to any or all of such matters.  In reaching
any decision as to its course of action (as well as to the specific elements

to the Reporting Person; developments with respect to the business of the

and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the
securities of the Issuer.

     Other than as set forth in this Statement, the Reporting Person has no
present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:

including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to
fill any existing vacancies on the board;

(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the
Issuer;

(f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure;

(g) Changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto
or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by
any person;

(h) A class of securities of the Issuer being delisted from a national
securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer
quotation system of a registered national securities association;

(i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination
of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or

(j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated in this paragraph.


Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     The text of Item 5 of the Prior Filing is amended and restated to read in
its entirety as follows:

     (a)   The Reporting Person beneficially owns 87,465,736 shares of Common
Stock. The Reporting Person presently beneficially owns, through its control of
LTVGIA, 16,761,150 shares of Common Stock, and the Reporting Person presently
beneficially owns, through its control of LUVSG, 70,704,586 shares of Common
Stock. Assuming 409,182,000 shares of Common Stock are outstanding as of the
date hereof, which outstanding share number is based on the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2000 as reported by the Issuer, the
Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person represent approximately 21.4%
of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

                              Page 4 of 20 Pages
<PAGE>

     Except as described on Schedule 3, which is incorporated herein, to the
knowledge of the Reporting Person, none of the Schedule 1 Persons and none of
the Schedule 2 Persons beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

     (b)   Except as described in Item 6 below, the Reporting Person has the
power to direct the voting of the Shares and to direct the disposition of the
Shares. LTVGIA and LUVSG, as the record owners of the Shares, may be deemed to
share the power to vote or direct the voting of the Shares, and the power to
dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares, with the Reporting Person.

     (c)   No transactions have been effected by the Reporting Person during the
past 60 days.

     (d)   None.

     (e)   Not applicable.


Item 6.    Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.

     The text of Item 6 of the Prior Filing is amended and restated to read in
its entirety as follows:

     The arrangements described below exist with respect to the Common Stock.

BYLAWS OF THE ISSUER

     Pursuant to the bylaws of the Issuer (the "Bylaws"), the Issuer's Board of
Directors (the "Board") consists of 12 directors, six of which are TVG Directors
(as such term is defined in the Bylaws).  Two of the TVG Directors are TVG
Independent Directors (as such term is defined in the Bylaws).  Prior to the
Merger, TVG designated the six TVG Directors.  The other six directors on the
Board were designated by the Board prior to the Merger.  Pursuant to the Bylaws
(and as described in greater detail below):

     (1) two of the four members of the Board's Executive Committee are TVG
Directors;

     (2) two of the five members of the Board's Compensation Committee are
Independent Directors (as such term is defined in the Bylaws) selected by the
TVG Director Committee (as such term is defined in the Bylaws);

     (3) two of the three members of the Board's Special Committee are TVG
Directors;

     (4) two of the four members of the Board's Audit Committee are TVG
Directors;

     (5) there shall be a TVG Director Committee of the Board comprised of all
of the TVG Directors who are not the TVG Independent Directors.

                              Page 5 of 20 Pages
<PAGE>

     Pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement (defined below), the Reporting
Person will be able to appoint three of the TVG Directors and has appointed
three of the existing TVG Directors. The three TVG Directors appointed by the
Reporting Person are: (a) Peter C. Boylan III, a co-President and co-Chief
Operating Officer of the Issuer, who serves as a TVG Director on the Executive
Committee, the Special Committee and the TVG Director Committee, (b) Robert R.
Bennett, the chief executive officer and a director of the Reporting Person, who
serves as a TVG Director on the Compensation Committee and the TVG Director
Committee and (c) J. David Wargo, who is a TVG Independent Director and serves
on the Audit Committee.

     Vacancies. Vacancies on the Board will be filled by the majority vote of
     ---------
the directors present and voting at a meeting of the Board duly called and held
at which a quorum is present or by unanimous written consent of the directors.
However, expiring directorships or vacancies on the Board will be filled by the
GS Director Committee (as such term is defined in the Bylaws), in the case of
the directors designated by the Board prior to the Merger and their successors,
and by the TVG Director Committee, in the case of the TVG Directors and their
successors, until the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger.

     Chairman. Until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the completion of
     --------
the Merger and the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of
Gemstar, Mr. Yuen will be Chairman of the Board so long as he is a director.
Thereafter, until the third annual Board meeting following (1) the date Mr. Yuen
ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar or, if later, (2) the fifth
anniversary of the completion of the Merger, the Chairman of the Board will be
elected by a majority vote or unanimous written consent of TVG Directors or
their successors.

     Tie Votes. Except for the matters delegated to the Compensation Committee,
     ---------
the Audit Committee or the Special Committee of the Board, matters identified in
the Bylaws as "fundamental decisions" and matters that require approval by
supermajority vote of stockholders, if a matter is brought before the Board and
if there is a tie vote with respect to such matter, then the exclusive power to
approve or disapprove that matter will generally be exercised by the Tie-
breaking Committee of the Board (of which Mr. Yuen will be the sole member)
until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger and
the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar. Thereafter,
until the third annual Board meeting following (1) the date Mr. Yuen ceases to
be Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar or, if later, (2) the fifth anniversary of
the completion of the Merger, the TVG Director Committee will generally have the
ability to resolve tie votes.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no committee of directors will have the
power to resolve a tie vote of the Board until the fifth anniversary of the
completion of the Merger if Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of
Gemstar because of his death or disability.

     Committees. The Board has the following committees:
     ----------

     (1) The Executive Committee:  The Executive Committee consists of four
         -----------------------
directors and acts by majority vote of the quorum which is present or by
unanimous written consent. The members of the Executive Committee include each
of the following who are directors: the Chief

                              Page 6 of 20 Pages
<PAGE>

Executive Officer; the Chief Financial Officer (but if the Chief Financial
Officer is not a director selected by the Board prior to the Merger or a
successor to such director, then, until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of
the completion of the Merger and the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive
Officer of Gemstar, a director designated by the GS Director Committee or a
successor to such director will be a member of the Executive Committee instead
of the Chief Financial Officer); and two TVG Directors. The Executive Committee
will have, to the extent permitted by law, and until the third annual Board
meeting following (1) the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of
Gemstar or, if later, (2) the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger,
all powers of the Board with respect to matters related to the operations of
Gemstar and its subsidiaries between Board meetings, except: as otherwise
determined by the Board; with respect to any matter that is delegated to a
different committee of directors; with respect to matters itemized in the Bylaws
as "fundamental decisions" or that require approval by supermajority vote of
stockholders; or with respect to (1) any acquisition by Gemstar or any person
controlled by Gemstar of any business or assets if the amount involved exceeds
$25 million, (2) any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition, pledge or
encumbrance of assets or of all or a part of any business of Gemstar or any
person controlled by Gemstar if the amount involved exceeds $25 million, and (3)
the incurrence by Gemstar or any person controlled by Gemstar of indebtedness in
excess of $50 million in any fiscal year. If a matter is brought before the
Executive Committee and if there is a tie vote with respect to such matter, then
the exclusive power to approve or disapprove that matter will generally be
exercised by the Tie-breaking Committee (of which Mr. Yuen will be the sole
member) until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the completion of the
Merger and the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar.
Thereafter, until the third annual Board meeting following (1) the date Mr. Yuen
ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar or, if later, (2) the fifth
anniversary of the completion of the Merger, the TVG Director Committee will
generally have the ability to resolve tie votes. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no committee of directors will have the power to resolve a tie vote of the
Executive Committee until the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger
if Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar because of his death
or disability. Only the Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar may call a meeting of
the Executive Committee until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the
completion of the Merger and the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive
Officer of Gemstar. Thereafter, the Chief Executive Officer or any two members
of the Executive Committee may call a meeting.

     (2) The Compensation Committee: The Compensation Committee consists of five
         --------------------------
directors and acts by majority vote of all its members or by unanimous written
consent. The members of the Compensation Committee include two Independent
Directors (as defined in the Bylaws) designated by the Board prior to the Merger
and their successors, two TVG Directors who are Independent Directors and the
Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar (provided he or she is a director). The Chief
Executive Officer of Gemstar is the chairman of the Compensation Committee.
Except with respect to matters itemized in the Bylaws as "fundamental decisions"
or that require approval by supermajority vote of stockholders, the Compensation
Committee is empowered to make all decisions with respect to the compensation
and other terms of employment of any executive officer of Gemstar or any of its
subsidiaries, or any other officer or employee of Gemstar or any of its
subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by at
least seven of the twelve directors, the Compensation Committee's authority to
grant stock options or other stock based compensation is limited, on a
cumulative
<PAGE>

basis from the completion of the Merger, to 2% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock on a fully diluted basis immediately after the completion of the
Merger. Further, not more than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a
fully diluted basis immediately after the completion of the Merger may be
granted, awarded or issued in the aggregate to officers of Gemstar or any person
controlled by Gemstar who directly report to the Chief Executive Officer.

     (3) The Special Committee:  The Special Committee consists of three members
         ---------------------
and acts by majority vote of all its members or by unanimous written consent
other than with respect to matters itemized in the Bylaws as "fundamental
decisions" or that require approval by supermajority vote of stockholders.  The
members of the Special Committee include the Chief Executive Officer (provided
he or she is a director) and two TVG Directors or their successors.  The Special
Committee will have authority to determine matters related to the relationship
between Gemstar and "service providers" as contemplated by the Bylaws.

     (4) The Audit Committee:  The Audit Committee consists of four members and
         -------------------
will act by majority vote of all its members or by unanimous written consent and
has all powers normally accorded to an audit committee other  than with respect
to matters itemized in the Bylaws as "fundamental decisions" or that require
approval by supermajority vote of stockholders.  The members of the Audit
Committee include the Chief Financial Officer, one GS Independent Director (as
such term is defined in the Bylaws) and the two TVG Independent Directors.

     (5) The GS Director Committee:  The GS Director Committee consists of all
         -------------------------
GS Directors other than the GS Independent Directors and acts by majority vote
of all its members or by unanimous written consent. The GS Director Committee
has the right to: appoint the Chairman of the Board (which will be Mr. Yuen so
long as he is a director) until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the
completion of the Merger and the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive
Officer of Gemstar; nominate directors to fill expiring directorships held by GS
Directors until the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger; and fill
vacancies with respect to the directorships held by GS Directors until the fifth
anniversary of the completion of the Merger. The Board may not dissolve the GS
Director Committee or modify its duties or composition without the approval of
at least ten of the twelve members of the Board until the earlier of the fifth
anniversary of the completion of the Merger and the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be
Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar. If Mr. Yuen should cease being the Chief
Executive Officer before the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger
as a result of his death or disability, then until the fifth anniversary of the
completion of the Merger the Board may dissolve the GS Director Committee or
modify its duties or composition with the approval of nine of the twelve members
of the Board.

     (6) The TVG Director Committee:  The TVG Director Committee consists of all
         --------------------------
TVG Directors other than the TVG Independent Directors and acts by majority vote
of all its members or by unanimous written consent.  The TVG Director Committee
will have the right to: nominate directors to fill expiring directorships held
by TVG Directors until the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger;
fill vacancies with respect to the directorships held by TVG Directors until the

<PAGE>

members of the Board until the third annual board of directors' meeting

or, if later, (2) the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger.

     (7) The Tie-breaking Committee:  The Tie-breaking Committee consists of Mr.
         --------------------------
Yuen as Chairman of the Board and will exist until the earlier of the fifth
anniversary of the completion of the Merger and the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be
Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar.  During such time, the Tie-breaking
Committee will have the power to resolve tie votes of the Board and the
Executive Committee as described above.  During such time, the Board may not
dissolve the Tie-breaking Committee or modify its duties or composition.

     Quorum. A majority of the total number of Board members will constitute a
     ------
quorum, except that six of the twelve Board members will constitute a quorum at
a duly called Board meeting where either all GS Directors or all TVG Directors
fail to attend such meeting.

     Voting. Generally, directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is
     ------

nine of the twelve Board members.

     Executive Officers.  Henry C. Yuen will be Chief Executive Officer of
     ------------------
Gemstar for five years after the completion of the Merger unless he earlier dies
or resigns or his employment is terminated for disability as permitted by, or
for "cause" within the meaning of, his existing employment agreement. Until the
earlier of the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger and the date
Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar, Mr. Yuen will be
Chairman of the Board so long as he is a director of Gemstar.

     The foregoing discussion of the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the complete text of the Bylaws, which is incorporated by reference
herein.

for, Mr. Yuen's election as a director and appointment as Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer until the earlier of the fifth

                              Page 9 of 20 Pages
<PAGE>

anniversary of the completion of the Merger and the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be
Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer other than as a result of his termination
without cause and (2) to vote for the election to the Board of five other
persons (including two independent directors) designated by Mr. Yuen until the
earlier of the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Merger and the date
Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer other than as a
result of his termination without cause, provided that if Mr. Yuen should die or
become disabled during such five-year period Liberty and News Corp. have each
agreed, for the remainder of the five-year period, to continue to vote for the
election to the Board of the directors formerly designated by Mr. Yuen or their
successors (including Mr. Yuen's successor) and to vote against their removal
except for cause.

     For so long as Liberty and News Corp. are committed to vote for Mr. Yuen
and his designees, Mr. Yuen has agreed to vote his shares of Common Stock for
the election to the Board of three designees of Liberty (including one
independent director) and three designees of News Corp. (including one
independent director).

     Each of Liberty's and News Corp.'s right to designate directors generally
shall be reduced by one director upon the transfer of 90% or more of its
respective shares of Common Stock, but if the transfer of any of such shares is
from one to the other then the total number of directors Liberty and News Corp.
have the right to designate will not be reduced. Liberty and News Corp. have the
right to allocate designees to the Board between one another as they may agree
in connection with any transfer of shares among Liberty, News Corp. and their
respective controlled related parties.

     Officers:
     --------

     Henry C. Yuen. Liberty and News Corp. will use their respective best
     -------------
efforts to cause their designees to the Board to vote for Mr. Yuen's election as
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar during the five-
year period following the completion of the Merger and against any removal or
diminution of Mr. Yuen's responsibilities during such period (provided that the
Issuer does not have the right to terminate Mr. Yuen's employment for disability
pursuant to his employment agreement or that "cause," within the meaning of his
employment agreement, does not exist for termination of such employment).

     Elsie Ma Leung. Liberty and News Corp. will use their respective best
     --------------
efforts to cause their designees to the Board to vote for the election of Elsie
Ma Leung, a co-President, co-Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer of the Issuer (and any successors to her offices) as co-President, co-
Chief Operating Officer, a member of the Office of the Chief Executive and Chief
Financial Officer of the Issuer during the five-year period following the
completion of the Merger and against any removal or diminution of Ms. Leung's
responsibilities during such period (provided that "cause," within the meaning
of Mr. Yuen's employment agreement, does not exist for termination of such
employment).

     Joachim Kiener and Peter C. Boylan III. Mr. Yuen will vote, and will use
     --------------------------------------
his best efforts to cause his designees to the Board to vote, for the election
of Joachim Kiener and Peter C. Boylan III (and the successors to their
respective offices) as co-Presidents and co-Chief
<PAGE>

Operating Officers of the Issuer and as members of the Office of the Chief
Executive during the five-year period following the completion of the Merger and
against any removal or diminution of their responsibilities during such period
(provided that "cause," within the meaning of Mr. Yuen's employment agreement,
does not exist for termination of such employment).

     Standstill:  Each of Mr. Yuen, Liberty and News Corp. agree, provided that
     ----------
their respective designees to the Board continue to be elected and appointed
directors, that until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the completion of
the Merger and the date Mr. Yuen ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of Gemstar
other than as a result of his termination without cause, they will not:

     (1) make a public offer to acquire all or part of the Issuer, except in
certain cases where another unaffiliated person has made an offer for a
comparable percentage of the Issuer (for purposes of this provision, AT&T Corp.
and its affiliates generally are not deemed to be affiliates of Liberty);

     (2) solicit proxies for the election of directors or make any stockholder
proposal, except in certain cases;

     (3) act in concert with other stockholders or become a group within the
meaning of applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, other
than with each other and parties controlled by each other and except in
connection with making a permitted competing offer for the Issuer;

     (4) transfer shares of Common Stock to any person who would, to the
knowledge of such party, be an "Acquiring Person" within the meaning of the
Issuer's rights agreement (i.e., a person whose ownership of Common Stock is
such as to cause the share purchase rights issued under the rights agreement to
become exercisable); or

     (5) seek to challenge the legality of the foregoing provisions of the
Stockholders' Agreement.

     Registration Rights:  At any time after the date which is six months after
     -------------------
July 12, 2000 and before the tenth anniversary of July 12, 2000, either Liberty
or News Corp. (or transferees of their Common Stock) may request that the Issuer
effect a  registration of all or part of their shares of Common Stock. The
Issuer will not be required to effect a demand registration unless the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock demanded to be registered is at least 1% of the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, in which case the Issuer must
use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement to
become effective for the sale of such shares.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to effect
any demand registration after such time as Liberty or News Corp. (or transferees
of their Common Stock), as the case may be, is able to sell all of its
respective Common Stock without restriction. In addition, once a demand
registration has been effected, the Issuer is not obligated to register shares
pursuant to a demand registration before the expiration of twelve months from
the date on

                                 Page 11 of 20
<PAGE>

which the previous demand registration statement was declared effective.  The
Issuer may postpone for up to 90 days the filing of a registration statement if
it reasonably believes that such a registration statement would have a material
adverse effect on its ability to engage in any financing, acquisition of assets
or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other significant transaction.
However, the Issuer is not permitted to so postpone a demand registration more
than once in any period of twelve consecutive months.

     Under the Stockholders' Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to pay all
expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and any transfer
taxes, connected with the registration or qualification of the shares subject to
the first two demand registrations and the Issuer's legal and accounting
expenses for subsequent registrations.

     Under the Stockholders' Agreement, demand registrations may be effected by
means of an underwritten offering or, in certain cases, pursuant to a delayed or
continuous offering under applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

     Under the Stockholders' Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to indemnify the
parties requesting a demand registration against certain liabilities that may
arise in connection with any offer and sale of Common Stock, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to contribute to
payments that such parties may be required to make in respect of any such offer
and sale. The Stockholders' Agreement also provides that parties requesting a
demand registration will indemnify the Issuer, its directors and officers and
each person which controls the Issuer against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for certain actions
arising from the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock under the demand
registration.

     Rights of First Refusal: Under the Stockholders' Agreement, Mr. Yuen may
     -----------------------
not transfer shares of Common Stock which he owns, except for limited transfers
as specified in the Stockholders' Agreement, unless he first offers such shares
to each of Liberty and News Corp. Any purchases of Common Stock from Mr. Yuen by
Liberty or News Corp. will not cause a triggering event under the Issuer's
rights agreement.

     The foregoing discussion of the Stockholders' Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the complete text of the Stockholders' Agreement, which
is incorporated by reference herein.

RIGHTS PLAN OF THE ISSUER

     In connection with the Merger, the Issuer amended and restated its existing
rights agreement, dated July 10, 1998 as amended ("Rights Plan"), with American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order to make the Rights Plan inapplicable to
the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the
Stockholders' Agreement.  The Rights Plan was amended in connection with the
Merger  to exempt each of Liberty and its controlled related parties and News
Corp. and its controlled related parties from the definition of Acquiring Person
(as such term is defined in the Rights Plan). If, however, Liberty or News Corp.
or their respective controlled related parties acquires beneficial ownership of
any additional shares of Common

                              Page 12 of 20 Pages
<PAGE>

Stock, then such person would be an Acquiring Person unless the beneficial
ownership resulted from any of the following:

     (1) the right to acquire or acquisition of additional shares by Liberty,
News Corp. or any of their respective controlled related parties from each other
or from Henry C. Yuen;

     (2) the acquisition by Liberty, News Corp. or any of their respective
controlled related parties of additional shares which do not exceed, in the
aggregate, the number of shares of Common Stock transferred by Mr. Yuen before
or after the completion of the Merger to persons other than Liberty, News Corp.
or any of their respective controlled related parties in certain transactions
permitted by the Stockholders' Agreement;

     (3) the grant or exercise of employee or director options; and

     (4) any agreement, arrangement or understanding among Liberty, News Corp.
or any of their respective controlled related parties with respect to voting,
holding, acquiring or disposing of beneficial ownership of Common Stock.

     The definition of Acquiring Person was also modified in certain respects to
make it less likely that someone would inadvertently become an Acquiring Person.

     The amendments to the Rights Plan also modify the definition of beneficial
ownership so that Mr. Yuen, Liberty and its controlled related parties, and News
Corp. and its controlled related parties will not be deemed to beneficially own
any of the shares of Common Stock owned by each other as a result of any of the
transactions expressly contemplated by the Merger, including the Stockholders'
Agreement.

     The foregoing discussion of the Rights Plan is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the complete text of the Rights Plan, which is incorporated by
reference herein.

AGREEMENT TO TRANSFER SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

     Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, dated September 27, 2000, between Liberty
and News Corp. (the "Letter Agreement", which term includes the summary of
proposed terms incorporated in the Letter Agreement), Liberty has agreed, among
other things, to transfer all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by it to subsidiaries of News Corp., and Liberty has agreed to assign to News
Corp. all of its rights under the Stockholders' Agreement (and, in connection
therewith, cause persons designated by News Corp. to replace Liberty's designees
to the Board).  A copy of the Letter Agreement is filed as Exhibit 7(f) hereto
and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.  The transfer of Common Stock
shall be effected in the manner, on the terms and for the consideration set
forth in the Letter Agreement.

     Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Liberty and News Corp. agreed to
negotiate in good faith and enter into definitive agreements (the "Definitive
Agreements") with respect to the transactions ("Transactions") contemplated by
the Letter Agreement. The failure of the parties to

                              Page 13 of 20 Pages
<PAGE>

execute the Definitive Agreements, however, will not affect the binding effect
or enforceability of the Letter Agreement.

     Each of Liberty and News Corp. has agreed in the Letter Agreement to take
all actions as may be required to consummate the Transactions on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Letter Agreement, including commercially reasonable
efforts to procure required waivers and approvals. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the NPAL/LUVSG Merger (as defined in the Letter Agreement) is not
completed before June 22, 2001, then either Liberty or News Corp. may terminate
its obligations under the Letter Agreement, unless the reason the NPAL/LUVSG
Merger was not completed was a breach by the party seeking to terminate.
