                                    PART II
 
                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
ITEM 20.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, generally,
that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding (except
actions by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director or officer of the corporation against all expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with such suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may
similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation, provided such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such
person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court
shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all of the facts and circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
such court shall deem proper.
 
     Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides,
generally, that the certificate of incorporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability
of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
section 174 of Title 8, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision may eliminate or limit
the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date
when such provision becomes effective.
 
     Article V, Section E of TCI/Liberty's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides as follows:
 
     A. Limitation On Liability.
 
          To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
     Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a
     director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or
     any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
     duty as a director. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph 1
     shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any
     limitation, right or protection of a director of the Corporation
     existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
 
     B. Indemnification.
 
          a. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.  The Corporation shall indemnify and
     hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it
     presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is
     made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in
     any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
     administrative or investigative (a "proceeding") by reason of the fact
     that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or
     was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at
     the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
     agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
     trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect
     to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and
     expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such
     person. Such right of indemnification shall inure whether or not the
     claim asserted is based on matters which antedate the
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>   3
 
     adoption of this Section E. The Corporation shall be required to indemnify
     a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
     such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the
     Board of Directors of the Corporation.
 
         b. PREPAYMENT OF EXPENSES.  The Corporation shall pay the expenses
     (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending any proceeding in advance
     of its final disposition, provided, however, that the payment of expenses
     incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of
     the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the
     director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be
     ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be
     indemnified under this paragraph or otherwise.
 
         c. CLAIMS.  If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses
     under this paragraph is not paid in full within 60 days after a written
     claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may file
     suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in
     whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting
     such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of
     proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification
     or payment of expenses under applicable law.
 
         d. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS.  The rights conferred on any person by
     this paragraph shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person
     may or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate,
     the Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
     otherwise.
 
         e. OTHER INDEMNIFICATION.  The Corporation's obligation, if any, to
     indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director,
     officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
     venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any
     amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other
     corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit
     entity.
 
     Article II, Section 2.9 of TCI/Liberty's By-laws also contains an indemnity
provision, requiring TCI/Liberty to indemnify members of the Board of Directors
and officers of TCI/Liberty and their respective heirs, personal representatives
and successors in interest for or on account of any action performed on behalf
of TCI/Liberty, to the fullest extent provided by the laws of the State of
Delaware and TCI/Liberty's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

     TCI/Liberty will also enter into indemnification agreements with each
person who will become a director prior to the Effective Time (each director, an
"indemnitee"). The indemnification agreements will provide (i) for the prompt
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all
expenses, including attorneys' fees and all other costs, expenses and
obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being
a witness or participating in (including on appeal), or in preparing for
("Expenses"), any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
or any inquiry or investigation ("Claim"), related to the fact that such
indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of
TCI/Liberty or is or was serving at TCI/Liberty's request as a director,
officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise,
or by reason of anything done or not done by a director or officer in any such
capacity, and against any and all judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid
in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or
payable in connection therewith) of any Claim, unless the Reviewing Party (one
or more members of the Board of Directors or other person appointed by the
Board of Directors, who is not a party to the particular claim, or independent
legal counsel) determines that such indemnification is not permitted under
applicable law and (ii) for the prompt advancement of Expenses, and for
reimbursement to TCI/Liberty if the Reviewing Party determines that such
indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law. In
addition, the indemnification agreements will provide (i) a mechanism through
which an indemnitee may seek court relief in the event the Reviewing Party
determines that the indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under
applicable law (and therefore is not entitled to indemnification or expense
advancement under the indemnification agreement) and (ii) indemnification
against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), and advancement thereof if
requested, incurred by the indemnitee in
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>   4
 
seeking to collect an indemnity claim or advancement of expenses from
TCI/Liberty or incurred in seeking to recover under a directors' and officers'
liability insurance policy, regardless of whether successful or not.
Furthermore, the indemnification agreements will provide that after there has
been a "change in control" of TCI/Liberty (as defined in the indemnification
agreements), other than a change in control approved by a majority of directors
who were directors prior to such change, then, with respect to all
determinations regarding a right to indemnity and the right to advancement of
Expenses, TCI/Liberty will seek legal advice only from independent legal counsel
selected by the indemnitee and approved by TCI/Liberty.
 
     The indemnification agreements will impose upon TCI/Liberty the burden of
proving that an indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in any particular
case and negate certain presumptions that may otherwise be drawn against an
indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with the termination of actions
in certain circumstances. Indemnitees' rights under the indemnification
agreements are not exclusive of any other rights they may have under the
Delaware General Corporation Law, TCI/Liberty's By-laws or otherwise. Although
not requiring the maintenance of directors' and officers' liability insurance,
the indemnification agreements require that indemnitees be provided with the
maximum coverage available for any director or officer of TCI/Liberty if there
is such a policy.
 
     TCI/Liberty may purchase liability insurance policies covering its
directors and officers.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
             (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act of 1933;
 
             (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
        the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in the registration statement; and
 
             (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
        of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
        or any material change to such information in the registration
        statement;
 
     provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
     information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
     paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
     pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
 
          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
     any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.
 
          (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
     pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
     of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
     securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
          (5) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by
     reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this
     Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the
     incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means.
     This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the
     effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding
     to the request.
 
          (6) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information
     concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein,
     that was not the subject of and included in the
 
                                      II-6
<PAGE>   8
 
     registration statement when it became effective, provided, in the case of a
     transaction that (but for the possibility of integration with other
     transactions) would itself qualify for an exemption from registration, that
     (i) such transactions by itself or when aggregated with other such
     transactions made since the filing of the most recently audited financial
     statements of the Registrant would have a material financial effect upon
     the Registrant and (ii) the information required to be supplied in a
     post-effective amendment by this paragraph 6 is not contained in periodic
     reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of
     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
     the registration statement.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
