(collectively, the "Company Securities") is Tele-Communications, Inc. (the
"Company") whose principal executive offices are located at Terrace Tower II,
5619 DTC Parkway, Englewood, Colorado 80111.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the
following at the end thereof:
The Bob Magness Estate borrowed $206,151,170 under a credit facility
provided by Bankers Trust Company (the "Bank"). The maximum principal amount of
the promissory note evidencing this debt is $300,000,000. The loan is evidenced
by a Secured Promissory Note dated February 9, 1998 and an Allonge, First
Amendment to Note dated October 16, 1998 (together the "Note") and is secured by
a pledge of Series B TCI Group Common Stock and Series B Liberty Media Group
Common Stock made by the Co-Personal Representatives on behalf of the Bob
Magness Estate pursuant to a Borrower Security and Pledge Agreement dated
February 9, 1998, as amended by an Amendment and Confirmation of Borrower
Security and Pledge Agreement dated October 16, 1998. The Note contains several
variables with regard to interest rates and payment terms. In all events, the
unpaid principal balance, together with any accrued interest, must be paid on
October 30, 1999, unless the Note is extended with the Bank's consent as
provided in the Note. A total of $273,072,472.90 has been advanced under the
Note
PAGE 3 OF 8
<PAGE>
and bears an interest rate of .375% above the LIBOR rate in effect on the date
of borrowing. See Exhibits 7 and 8.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the
following at the end thereof:
On October 16, 1998, the Bob Magness Estate fully exercised the Magness
Group's right to purchase shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock pursuant to
the Malone Right and purchased 5,792,800 shares of Series B TCI Group Common
Stock from the Company. The 5,792,800 shares purchased constitute the full
right of the Magness Group to participate in the Malone Right on a proportionate
basis with Malone with respect to 12,406,238 shares of the 14,511,570 shares
subject to the Malone Right. The exercise price per share purchased pursuant to
the Malone Right is $35.5875 based on the average of the closing sales price of
the Series B TCI Group Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the five
trading days preceding June 24, 1998, which was the date Malone exercised his
right to purchase shares pursuant to the Malone Right.
The Bob Magness Estate purchased all of the shares that the Magness Group
had the right to acquire under the Malone Right. Therefore, because the Magness
Group's right to purchase shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock was fully
exercised by the Bob Magness Estate, neither the Bob Magness Estate nor any
other member of the Magness Group, including, but not limited to, Gary Magness
has any right to purchase additional shares pursuant to the Malone Right.

Redeemable Convertible Liberty Media Group Preferred Stock, Series H,
outstanding on September 30, 1998, in each case after elimination of
shares then held by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries.
(2) Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series B Liberty Media Group Common
Stock and Series B Ventures Group Common Stock ("Series B Shares") are
convertible at any time on a one-for-one basis into Series A TCI Group
Common Stock, Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock and Series A
Ventures Group Common Stock ("Series A Shares"), respectively. The
numbers of shares of Series A TCI Group Common Stock, Series A Liberty
Media Group Common Stock and Series A Ventures Group Common Stock shown
in this Item 5 assume that the shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock,
Series B Liberty Media Group Common Stock, and Series B Ventures Group
Common Stock have been fully converted into shares of Series A TCI Group
Common Stock, Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock, and Series A
Ventures Group Common Stock, respectively.
In addition, each share of Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series B
Liberty Media Group Common Stock and Series B Ventures Group Common Stock
is entitled to 10 votes per share and each share of Series A TCI Group
Common Stock, Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock and Series A
Ventures Group Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Holders
of Class B Preferred Stock vote with the holders of the Series A TCI
Group Common Stock, Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series A Liberty
Media Group Common Stock, Series B Liberty Media Group Common Stock,
Series A Ventures Group Common Stock, Series B Ventures Group Common
Stock, and certain classes/series of the Company preferred stock on the
election of directors. Accordingly, when these series and classes of
stock are aggregated, Gary Magness may be deemed to currently
beneficially own voting equity securities representing approximately
16.6% of the voting power with respect to a general election of directors
of the Company.
(3) On February 9, 1998, Malone and his spouse (the "Malone Group") and the
Magness Group entered into the Stockholders' Agreement (as described in
Item 4 above) pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things,
to consult with each other on any matter coming to a vote of the
Company's stockholders provided, however, that in the event of a
disagreement, the shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series B
Liberty Media Group Common Stock and Series B Ventures Group Common Stock
held by the Malone Group and the Magness Group will be voted in the
manner directed by Malone pursuant to an irrevocable proxy given by the
Magness Group. See Item 4 above for more information on the
Stockholders' Agreement.
The Stockholders' Agreement gives the Magness Group and Malone the right
to purchase from the Company, on a proportionate basis, 12,406,238 shares
of Series B TCI Group Common Stock (the "Malone Right"). On October 16,
1998, the Bob Magness Estate fully exercised the Magness Group's right to
purchase shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock pursuant to the Malone
Right and purchased 5,792,800 shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock
from the Company. The 5,792,800 shares purchased constitute the full
right of the Magness Group to participate in the Malone Right on a
PAGE 5 OF 8
<PAGE>
proportionate basis with Malone with respect to 12,406,238 shares of the
14,511,570 shares subject to the Malone Right. The exercise price per
share purchased pursuant to the Malone Right is $35.5875 based on the
average of the closing sales price of the Series B TCI Group Common Stock
on the Nasdaq National Market for the five trading days preceding June
24, 1998, which was the date Malone exercised his right to purchase
shares pursuant to the Malone Right.
The Bob Magness Estate purchased all of the shares that the Magness Group
had the right to acquire under the Malone Right. Therefore, because the
Magness Group's right to purchase shares of Series B TCI Group Common
Stock was fully exercised by the Bob Magness Estate, neither the Bob
Magness Estate nor any other member of the Magness Group has any right to
purchase additional shares pursuant to the Malone Right.
In addition, shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock, Series B Liberty
Media Group Common Stock, and Series B Ventures Group Common Stock held
by Kim Magness, Gary Magness, the Bob Magness Estate, the Betsy Magness
Estate and Magness Securities, LLC are subject to the terms of the
Magness Call Agreement. SEE Item 4.
(4) Kim Magness and Gary Magness are co-personal representatives of the Bob
Magness Estate. Accordingly, the following shares beneficially owned by
the Bob Magness Estate are reflected in full in Kim Magness' and Gary
Magness' share information (i) 15,964,145 shares of Series A TCI Group
Common Stock, (ii) 15,964,145 shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock,
(iii) 18,037,921 shares of Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock,
(iv) 11,454,693 shares of Series B Liberty Media Group Common Stock, (v)
12,034,298 shares of Series A Ventures Group Common Stock, and (vi)
12,034,298 shares of Series B Ventures Group Common Stock. The foregoing
share numbers assume the conversion in full of all Series B Shares into
Series A Shares. SEE footnote 2 to this Item 5(a) for an explanation of
the convertibility of Series B Shares into Series A Shares.
(5) Includes, as applicable, 8,313 shares of Series A TCI Group Common Stock,
102 shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock, 10,800 shares of Series A
Liberty Media Group Common Stock, 17,402 shares of Series A Ventures
Group Common Stock, and 5,796 shares of Series B Ventures Group Common
Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Magness' spouse, as to which Mr. Magness
disclaims any beneficial ownership thereof. The foregoing share numbers
assume the conversion in full of all Series B Shares into Series A
Shares. SEE footnote 2 to this Item 5(a) for an explanation of the
convertibility of Series B Shares into Series A Shares.
(6) Includes, as applicable, 3,850 shares of Series A TCI Group Common Stock,
1,100 shares of Series B TCI Group Common Stock, 920 shares of Series A
Liberty Media Group Common Stock and 500 shares of Series B Liberty Media
Group Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Magness' daughter, as to
which Mr. Magness holds such shares as custodian and disclaims any
beneficial ownership thereof. The foregoing share numbers assume the
conversion in fully of all Series B Shares into Series A Shares. SEE
footnote 2 to this Item 5(a) for an explanation of the convertibility of
Series B Shares into Series A Shares.
(7) Of such shares, 62,500 are held directly by the Gary Magness Irrevocable
Trust and are deemed beneficially owned by Gary Magness since he is the
sole trustee and current primary beneficiary of such trust.
Item 5(b) of the Statement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced

ALLONGE, FIRST AMENDMENT TO NOTE
Reference is made to the Secured Promissory Note dated February 9, 1998
(the "Note") made by the Estate of Bob J. Magness ("BORROWER") to the order of
Bankers Trust Company (the "BANK") evidencing the principal amount of up to
$80,000,000. Any capitalized term not defined in this Allonge, First Amendment
to Note (this "ALLONGE") shall have the meaning set forth in the Note.
Borrower has requested that Bank amend the Note to increase the principal
sum which may be borrowed thereunder from $80,000,000 to $300,000,000, to extend
the Maturity Date to October 30, 1999 and to make certain other modifications
thereto. Bank has agreed provided that Borrower execute and deliver this
Allonge.
Bank agrees that Borrower shall be permitted to borrow up to $300,000,000
outstanding at any one time under the Note subject to the terms and provisions
hereof and thereof. Accordingly, any reference in the Note to the Maximum
Amount shall mean $300,000,000. Borrower agrees that the increased amount of
the Loan being made available hereunder shall be repaid in accordance with, and
shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of, the Note as amended
hereby. In confirmation thereof, Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of
Bank the principal sum of Three Hundred Million Dollars or, if less, the then
outstanding principal amount of the Loan on the Maturity Date, together with
interest thereon all in accordance with the Note as amended hereby.
1. MATURITY DATE. The Maturity Date is hereby extended from February 9,
1999 to October 30, 1999 and references herein or in the Note to the Maturity
Date shall mean October 30, 1999 as it may be extended for consecutive 364-day
periods in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.1(b) of the
Note. For clarity sake, references to the "Maturity Date" in the first and
second sentences of Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to be references to the
"then-current Maturity Date". In addition, the following is deemed added at the
end of Section 2.1(b): "If Bank fails to deliver such notice, then it shall be
as if Bank had denied such extension. Upon such denial (whether by notice from
Bank or failure by Bank to deliver such notice), there shall be no right to any
further extension other than the ninety (90) day period as and to the extent set
forth above in this Section 2.1(b)."
2. PURPOSE. The additional principal amount of the Loan being made
available pursuant hereto shall be used: (a) to lend $5,000,000 to the Estate
of Betsy Ruth Magness (the "BETSY ESTATE") so that the Betsy Estate shall have
sufficient funds to repay its outstanding indebtedness to Bank, (b) to purchase
5,792,800 shares of Series B Common Stock of TCI pursuant to Borrower's "Tag
Along" rights under the Stockholders' Agreement, and (c) for general purposes of
Borrower.
3. UNUSED FEE. Effective as of the earlier of (x) October 31, 1998 or
(y) the date of the first advance of the Loan made after the date hereof (such
earlier date, the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), the letter dated February 9, 1998 made by
Borrower to Bank (the "2/9/98 LETTER") relating to an unused fee due with
respect to the Note and the note made by the Betsy Estate to Bank shall be void
and of no further force or effect. In lieu thereof, Borrower agrees that if
average daily borrowings of at least $150,000,000 are not maintained under the
Note for any calendar quarter (or partial calendar quarter) occurring after the
Effective Date up to maturity, then Borrower shall pay to Bank an unused fee in
an amount equal to one-eighth of one percent (.125%) per annum on the average
daily unadvanced portion of $150,000,000 for any such quarter (or partial
quarter), such unused fee to be paid upon receipt by Borrower of a certificate
from Bank stating that such aggregate average daily borrowings for such quarter
(or partial quarter) have not been maintained and setting forth the calculation
of the unused fee. The unused fee, if any, due under the 2/9/98 Letter for the
calendar quarter ending September 30, 1998 and for the portion of the calendar
quarter occurring after September 30, 1998 but prior to the Effective Date is
hereby waived by Bank.
4. CONVERSION LIMIT. The provisions of Section 11(a) of the Note shall
not apply to Borrower's exercise of its "Tag Along"
<PAGE>
rights described in Paragraph 2(b) of this Allonge.
5. CORRECTIONS TO NOTE. The words "THEN and in any such event" appearing

AMENDMENT AND CONFIRMATION OF BORROWER SECURITY
AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT
Amendment and Confirmation of Borrower Security and Pledge Agreement (this
"CONFIRMATION") dated as of October 15th, 1998, by and between the Estate of Bob
J. Magness ("DEBTOR") and Bankers Trust Company ("BANK").
R E C I T A L S
---------------
---------------
A. Debtor executed and delivered to Bank a Borrower Security and Pledge
Agreement dated February 9, 1998 (the "Pledge Agreement") pursuant to which
Debtor granted a lien on and security interest in the Collateral (as defined
therein) to secure the Obligations (as defined therein). The Obligations
include those owed by Debtor to Bank under a Secured Promissory Note dated
February 9, 1998 (as it may be amended or extended from time to time, the
"Note").
B. Debtor has requested, among other things, that Bank increase the
maximum principal sum which may be borrowed under the Note from $80,000,000 to
$300,000,000, such increase to be evidenced by an Allonge, First Amendment to
Note of even date herewith (the "Allonge").
C. The Pledge Agreement provides that the Obligations include those due
under any amendment to the Note and that the Collateral includes, among other
things, "all cash, securities, shares, certificates, notes, instruments, rights,
receivables and all other property of Debtor now or hereafter in the possession,
custody or control of Bank" including those credited to account number 280335 at
Bank and those described on Schedule B to the Pledge Agreement. However, as a
condition to Bank's agreement to increase the principal amount of the Note and
to make certain other modifications as set forth in the Allonge, Bank desires
that Debtor, among other things, confirm and ratify the pledge to Bank of
certain securities being delivered to Bank on or about the date hereof and more
particularly described in Schedule A hereto and that Debtor also confirm that
the Pledge Agreement secures the Note as modified by the Allonge.
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Bank to increase the principal sum
available under the Note, and to agree to the other modifications set forth in
the Allonge, Debtor agrees as follows:
1. GRANT. As security for the Obligations (including as increased
pursuant to the Allonge), Debtor hereby ratifies and confirms, and. hereby
restates, Debtor's assignment, pledge and grant to Bank of a continuing security
interest in and lien upon all right, title and interest of Debtor in and to the
Collateral which shall include, without limitation, the securities described on
SCHEDULE A hereto, all as set forth in the Pledge Agreement as amended hereby.

2. COLLATERAL MAINTENANCE. The Collateral Maintenance Requirements set
forth in SCHEDULE C to the Pledge Agreement are hereby amended so that Debtor
shall be required to pledge additional collateral or repay Obligations if at any
time the Obligations as a percentage of market value of the Collateral are
greater than 60%. Accordingly, the figure "65%" appearing in the third line of
paragraph 1 of said SCHEDULE C is hereby deemed deleted and substituted therefor
is the figure "60%". In addition, for clarity sake, the word "Loan" appearing
in the 5th line of said paragraph is deemed deleted and substituted therefor is
the word "Obligations". Finally, for a release of Collateral to occur under
paragraph 2 of said SCHEDULE C, the Collateral Maintenance Requirement to be
satisfied thereunder is the requirement that the Obligations as a percentage of
market value of the Collateral shall be not greater than 50% after giving effect
to any such release.
3. CERTAIN TERMS. The reference to "$80,000,000" in the preface to the
Pledge Agreement is hereby deemed to be "$300,000,000"; the Obligations shall
include all obligations due to Bank under the Allonge; the Collateral shall
include, without limitation, the collateral described in SCHEDULE A hereto; and
the term Note shall mean the Note as modified by the Allonge and as it may be
further modified or extended.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All terms, provisions,
representations and warranties set forth in the Pledge Agreement are true and
correct as of the date hereof and shall apply to, and are true and correct with
respect to, the Collateral described on SCHEDULE A hereto including the
representations of Borrower set forth in clauses (e) and (f) of Paragraph 2 of
the Pledge Agreement.
5. NO DEFAULT OR OFFSET. Debtor represents and warrants to Bank that
there is currently no default or Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under
the Note or the Pledge Agreement. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that there are
no offsets, defenses, crossclaims or counterclaims to the Obligations, and to
the extent any such offset, defense, crossclaim or counterclaim exists, same are
hereby irrevocably waived.
