PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION ---------------------- The Company, Time Warner Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Time Warner"), TW Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Time Warner ("Holdco"), Time Warner Acquisition Corp. a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco ("Delaware Sub"), and TW Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco ("Georgia Sub") have entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 22, 1995, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of August 8, 1996 (as so amended, the "Merger Agreement"), which provides for the merger of Delaware Sub into Time Warner (the"TW Merger") and the simultaneous merger of Georgia Sub into the Company (the "Company Merger" and together with the TW Merger, the "Mergers") in a transaction in which the outstanding capital stock of Time Warner and the Company, respectively will be converted into capital stock of Holdco and Page 4 of 17 pages each of Time Warner and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco. Following the Mergers, Holdco will be renamed Time Warner Inc. A copy of the Merger Agreement has been incorporated by reference as Exhibit A hereto. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the "Transaction." After an extensive review of the Transaction by the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and in order to eliminate certain concerns raised by the staff of the FTC regarding possible competitive effects of the Transaction, Time Warner, the Company, the Reporting Person and Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person ("LMC") entered into the Agreement Containing Consent Order (including the related Interim Agreement, the "FTC Consent Decree") dated August 14, 1996, as amended on September 4, 1996 with the FTC. The FTC Consent Decree was initially accepted by the FTC on September 12, 1996, subject to public comment, and will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the final acceptance thereof by the FTC. In connection with the parties' entering into the FTC Consent Decree, LMC and certain subsidiaries of LMC (together with LMC, the "LMC Parties"), entered into a Second Amended and Restated LMC Agreement dated as of September 22, 1995 (the "LMC Agreement") with Time Warner and Holdco. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the LMC Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit B hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the LMC Agreement, subject to the conditions set forth therein, the LMC Parties have agreed to attend the meeting of the Company's shareholders relating to the proposal to approve the Merger Agreement (the "Company Meeting") and to vote all shares of the Company Capital Stock owned by them in favor of the approval of the Company Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. This agreement of the LMC Parties is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions as of the time of the Company Meeting: (a) the Merger Agreement shall not have been amended in any respect, nor shall any right of the Company or obligation of Time Warner thereunder have been waived, other than any amendments and waivers that do not change the consideration to be received in exchange for Company Capital Stock or the exchange ratio therefor and that, when taken together with all other amendments and waivers, do not have a material adverse effect on the value of the consideration to be received in exchange for Company Capital Stock in the Company Merger, (b) R.E. Turner, III, as a shareholder of the Company, shall have voted or shall simultaneously be voting all his shares of Company Capital Stock in favor of the approval of the Company Merger, (c) Time Warner shall have obtained approval for the Transaction from its stockholders, (d) no judgment shall have been entered and be continuing that restrains or enjoins any LMC Party from voting its shares of Company Capital Stock and (e) no Change of Control Event (as defined in the LMC Agreement) shall have occurred with respect to Time Warner or Holdco (except as contemplated by the LMC Agreement). Pursuant to the LMC Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the LMC Parties have agreed (i) not to grant a proxy with respect to their shares of the Company Capital Stock, and (ii) not to transfer their shares of the Company Capital Stock to any person other than Time Warner unless such transferee agrees to be bound by the LMC Agreement. The LMC Parties and Time Warner have agreed to use their reasonable efforts to take all actions, including obtaining any required consents from governmental authorities (including entering into the FTC Consent Decree), necessary for the consummation of the Page 5 of 17 pages Transaction and to defend any proceedings challenging the Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the LMC Agreement imposes any obligation or duty on the part of the Reporting Person or any of its affiliates (i) to agree to, approve or otherwise be bound by or satisfy, any condition to the grant or effectiveness of any approval of any governmental agency required in connection with the consummation of the Transaction that requires the surrender or modification in any significant respect of any license, franchise or permit held by the Reporting Person or any of its affiliates, the divestiture of any assets of the Reporting Person or any of its affiliates, the holding of any such assets in a trust or otherwise separate and apart from such person's other assets, limitations on such person's freedom of action with respect to future acquisitions of assets or with respect to any existing or future business or activities or its enjoyment of the full rights of ownership, possession and use of any asset now owned or hereafter acquired by such person (including any requirement not to receive shares of Holdco capital stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement or otherwise), any agreement to divest any such shares, any requirement not to receive, or to agree to divest, shares of Holdco capital stock to be received pursuant to the LMC Agreement, any change in such person's ownership or in any rights of or arrangements among its equity holders or any other restrictions, limitations, requirements or conditions which are or might be burdensome or adverse to any such person (in any such case, other than as provided in the FTC Consent Decree or required by the LMC Agreement), (ii) to agree to enter into or be bound by any settlement or judgment (other than the FTC Consent Decree), (iii) to agree to any changes to the terms of the LMC Agreement or any of the agreements contemplated by the LMC Agreement, or (iv) to seek or agree to any changes to the terms of the FTC Consent Decree. Pursuant to the LMC Agreement, Time Warner has agreed, upon the written request of LMC, to terminate the Merger Agreement and abandon the Merger in certain circumstances, including if (a) on the date fixed for the consummation of the Transaction (the "Closing Date"), the LMC Agreement, any agreement contemplated by the LMC Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Mergers or any other transaction contemplated by the LMC Agreement shall be illegal or would result in the imposition on the LMC Parties or their successors of damages or penalties or if the FTC shall have failed to accept or denied acceptance of the FTC Consent Decree for public comment or there shall be pending any suit by any governmental agency in which the relief sought would have any such effects or any effect described in the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph (including any proceeding with respect to an alleged violation of the FTC Consent Decree but excluding any other proceeding contemplated by the FTC Consent Decree), (b) on the Closing Date, any consent or approval of any governmental agency required in connection with the consummation of the Transactions shall be subject to any condition referred to in the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, (c) a Holdco stockholder rights plan, if adopted at or prior to the Closing, shall differ in any material respect from the Time Warner rights plan now in existence, as amended in accordance with the Rights Amendment (as defined in the LMC Agreement), (d) on or prior to the Closing Date, a Change in Control Event shall have occurred or on the Closing Date a Takeover Proposal (as defined in the LMC Agreement) with respect to Time Warner shall be pending, (e) any action shall have been taken by Time Warner that if taken after the effective time of the Merger would result in a Prohibited Effect (as such term is defined in the LMC Agreement), (f) as of the Closing Date, any party (other than LMC and its affiliates) shall be in breach of its obligations under the LMC Agreement or any other agreement contemplated by the LMC Agreement or (g) as of the Closing Date, any required approval by the stockholders of Time Warner for the consummation of the Page 6 of 17 pages transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the LMC Agreement and the other agreements contemplated by the LMC Agreement shall not have been obtained. Pursuant to a Contribution and Exchange Agreement dated as of September 22, 1995 among Time Warner, Holdco, LMC, TCI Turner Preferred, Inc., a Colorado corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of LMC ("TCITP"), and Liberty Broadcasting Inc., an Oregon corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of TCITP ("LBI"), at LMC's election (the "Contribution Election"), TCITP and LBI will contribute all of the stock of United Cable Turner Investment Inc. ("UCTI"), their subsidiary that holds a portion of the Company Capital Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, to Holdco simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction. If LMC makes the Contribution Election, TCITP and LBI will receive from Holdco 0.75 of a share of Holdco Common Stock for each share of the Class B Common Stock of the Company and 4.80 shares of the Holdco Common Stock for each share of the Class C Preferred Stock of the Company held by UCTI, which exchange ratios are identical to those provided for the Company Merger in the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement is filed as Exhibit C hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, in connection with the Transaction, the Company and LMC Southeast Sports, Inc., an affiliate of the Reporting Company ("Southeast"), have entered into an agreement, dated as of September 22, 1995 (the "SportSouth Agreement"), providing for the sale by the Company to Southeast of the Company's interest in SportSouth Network, Ltd., a regional sports cable network, for approximately $65,000,000. A copy of the SportSouth Agreement has been incorporated by reference as Exhibit D hereto. Subject to the foregoing, the Reporting Person intends to continuously review its investment in the Company. In reaching any conclusion as to its future course of action, the Reporting Person will take into consideration various factors, such as the Company's business and prospects, other developments concerning the Company generally, other business opportunities available to the Reporting Person, developments with respect to the business of the Reporting Person, and general industry, economic and stock market conditions, including, but not limited to, the market price of the Class B Common Stock of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Reporting Person reserves the right, depending on other relevant factors, to acquire additional shares of Class B Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company in open market or privately negotiated transactions, to dispose of all or a portion of its holdings of the Company's capital stock or to change its intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item.

Except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement or in the Parent Disclosure Letter, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the Additional Agreements to which it is contemplated to be a party by Holdco and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance with the provisions hereof and thereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to the loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Holdco or any subsidiary of Holdco under, (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of Holdco or the comparable organizational documents of any subsidiary of Holdco, (ii) any Contract to which Holdco or any subsidiary of Holdco is a party or by which any of them or their respective properties or assets are bound, other than the Stock Agreements as to which no representation is being made or (iii) subject to the governmental filings and other matters referred to in Sections 3.01(d) and 3.02(d) of the Merger Agreement and in the following sentence, any Requirement of Law applicable to Holdco or any subsidiary of Holdco or their respective properties or assets, other than the Horizontal Rule as to which no representation is being made, and other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), any such conflicts, violations, defaults, rights or Liens that individually or in the aggregate would not (x) have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, (y) prevent Holdco or any subsidiary of Holdco from performing its obligations under this Agreement or any applicable Additional Agreement in any material respect or (z) prevent or delay in any material respect the consummation of any of the Transactions. Except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement or in the Parent Disclosure Letter, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required by or with respect to Holdco or any subsidiary of Holdco in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any applicable Additional Agreement by Holdco or the consummation by Holdco or any subsidiary of Holdco, as the case may be, of any of the Transactions, except for (i) filings under the HSR Act and the initial acceptance of the FTC Consent Decree, (ii) such filings with, and orders of, the FCC as may be required under the Communications Laws in connection with the Transactions, (iii) approvals of cable franchising authorities and (iv) such other consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings which, if not obtained or made, would not prevent or delay in any material respect the consummation of any of the Transactions or otherwise prevent Holdco or any subsidiary of Holdco from performing its 22 obligations under this Agreement or any applicable Additional Agreement in any material respect or have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of Holdco, none of Holdco or any of its Affiliates are party to any agreement with the Company, any of the Company's Affiliates, TCI or any of TCI's Affiliates that would require the consent, waiver or approval of or by Holdco or any of its Affiliates of the Mergers or for the consummation of any of the Transactions, or the execution, delivery or performance of the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the Additional Agreements, other than the Stock Agreements. (c) Except as disclosed in the Parent Disclosure Letter, as of September 22, 1995, there is no suit, action or proceeding (including any proceeding by or before the FCC) pending or, to the knowledge of Holdco, threatened against or affecting Holdco or any its Affiliates (and Holdco is not aware of any basis for any such suit, action or proceeding) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to (i) prevent Holdco from performing its obligations under this Agreement or any applicable Additional Agreement in any material respect, or (ii) prevent or delay in any material respect the consummation of the Mergers or any of the other Transactions. (d) As of September 22, 1995, and other than the Horizontal Rule, Holdco is not aware of any current or formally proposed Communications Law that would prevent any Shareholder from receiving, or would require any Shareholder to divest all or any part of, the TW Parent Common Stock issuable to such Shareholder in connection with the Mergers (assuming no exchange of such TW Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.1). (e) No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person, other than Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., the fees and expenses of which will be paid by Old TW, is entitled to any broker's, finder's, financial advisor's or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Old TW or Holdco. ARTICLE IV CERTAIN POST-CLOSING COVENANTS SECTION 4.1 Share Exchange. Immediately following the Effective Time -------------- of the Mergers, each Shareholder shall cause all of its Covered TW Securities that consist of shares of TW Parent Common Stock to be delivered to TW Parent for exchange into, and TW Parent shall issue in exchange therefor, shares of LMCN-V Common Stock. The rate of exchange pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 shall be one share of TW Parent Common Stock for each whole share of LMCN-V Common Stock. An exchange for LMCN-V Common Stock shall be effected through a direction from each Shareholder to the Exchange Agent (or, in the case of an exchange in connection with the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, such other agent of Holdco 23 exercising a similar function) to register all of the shares of TW Parent Common Stock issuable to such Shareholder in the Mergers (or the transactions relating to the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, as applicable) in the name of, and to deliver the appropriate certificates to, TW Parent and, upon receipt by TW Parent of such certificates, the issuance and delivery by TW Parent to each Shareholder of the appropriate number of shares of LMCN-V Common Stock. All shares of Holdco LMC Common Stock delivered to the Liberty Parties or the SpinCo Parties from time to time in accordance with this Agreement shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. For so long as the Liberty Parties or SpinCo Parties hold any LMCN-V Common Stock, all of the TW Parent Common Stock and Voting Holdco LMC Common Stock from time to time owned beneficially or of record (a) by LMC Parent or any of its Controlled Affiliates, (b) by any SpinCo Party or (c) for so long as TCI is a Liberty Party, by TCI or any of its Controlled Affiliates (other than any of the shares (the "Excluded Shares") described in the letter from Baker & --------------- Botts, L.L.P., counsel to TCI, to Peter Haje, Esq., General Counsel of Old TW dated September 22, 1995, unless and until TCI acquires sole voting and dispositive control of such shares) shall be delivered to TW Parent for exchange for LMCN-V Common Stock; provided, however, that the obligations in this -------- ------- sentence shall terminate with respect to (x) LMC Parent and its Controlled Affiliates, and TCI and its Controlled Affiliates, upon the termination of the Restriction Period with respect to the Liberty Parties and (y) the SpinCo Parties, upon the termination of the Restriction Period with respect to the SpinCo Parties. TW Parent shall issue, in exchange for the TW Parent Common Stock delivered to it pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, a number of shares of LMCN-V Common Stock equal to (i) the number of shares of TW Parent Common Stock so delivered divided by (ii) the Formula Number then in effect pursuant to the terms of the LMCN-V Common Stock, and, in exchange for each share of Voting Holdco LMC Common Stock delivered to it at any time pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences, one share of LMCN-V Common Stock. SECTION 4.2 No Redemption. The Voting Holdco LMC Common Stock and ------------- the LMCN-V Common Stock shall not be redeemable at the option of TW Parent, including pursuant to any provision equivalent to Section 5 of Article IV of Old TW's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, as in effect on September 22, 1995 contained in Holdco's Certificate of Incorporation ("TW -- Article IV"). TW Parent further agrees that it shall not exercise any right - ---------- pursuant to TW Article IV to require the redemption from any Liberty Party or SpinCo Party of any of its shares of TW Parent Common Stock unless it has first given at least 10 business days' prior written notice of such redemption to each Liberty Party or SpinCo Party, as applicable (which notice shall state that TW Parent intends to effect the redemption of shares of TW Parent Common Stock held by such Liberty Party or SpinCo Party, the number of shares to be redeemed and the proposed redemption date (in addition to any other information required by TW Article IV)), and each Liberty Party or SpinCo Party, as applicable, shall have the right at any time prior to the redemption date to exchange the shares to be redeemed for a number of shares of Voting Holdco LMC Common Stock that are convertible into the same number of shares of TW Parent Common Stock so called for redemption. 24 SECTION 4.3 Certain Post-Closing Compensation Obligations. --------------------------------------------- (a) If, after the Effective Time of the Mergers, (i) any Action shall be taken by TW Parent or any of its Controlled Affiliates (including, after the effective time of the TBS Merger, the Company and its Controlled Affiliates) which has a Prohibited Effect under any Specified Law then in effect (including any Specified Law the effectiveness of which has been stayed if such stay is subsequently lifted) or then formally proposed or promulgated with a delayed effective date if such Specified Law becomes effective thereafter, and (ii) such Prohibited Effect did not exist prior to the taking of such Action and did not result from any breach of this Agreement or the FTC Consent Decree by LMC Parent or any Applicable LMC Affiliate or by any SpinCo Party; and (iii) if such Prohibited Effect relates to a Liberty Party, such Action shall have been taken prior to the termination of the Restriction Period with respect to the Liberty Parties; and if such Prohibited Effect relates to a SpinCo Party, such action shall have been taken prior to the termination of Restriction Period with respect to the SpinCo Parties; then, in any such case, the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall apply. (b) As promptly as practicable after obtaining actual knowledge that TW Parent intends to take an Action and that such Action will likely result in a Prohibited Effect, LMC Parent, if the Prohibited Effect is with respect to a Liberty Party, or SpinCo, if the Prohibited Effect is with respect to a SpinCo Party, shall notify TW Parent thereof. If such notice is received by TW Parent prior to the taking of the referenced Action, then either TW Parent and its Controlled Affiliates shall not take such Action or if the Action is taken and a Prohibited Effect described in Section 4.3(a) occurs, TW Parent shall be obligated to pay compensation pursuant to this Section 4.3. (c) As promptly as practicable after obtaining actual knowledge that a Prohibited Effect has occurred or will likely occur (other than a Prohibited Effect with respect to which notice has been given under Section 4.3(b)), LMC Parent, if the Prohibited Effect is with respect to a Liberty Party, or SpinCo, if the Prohibited Effect is with respect to a SpinCo Party (the applicable of the foregoing being the "Notice Party"), shall notify TW Parent thereof. ------------ Following the giving of such notice, the Notice Party shall at TW Parent's request consult with TW Parent as to such Prohibited Effect and its causes and discuss in good faith the actions that either party might take to avoid or cure such Prohibited Effect. If the Notice Party and TW Parent agree that certain actions can be taken by TW Parent and its Controlled Affiliates to cure or avoid the Prohibited Effect, then TW Parent and its Controlled Affiliates shall either take such actions or become obligated to 25 compensate the Liberty Parties (if prior to the Distribution or the Distribution does not occur) or the SpinCo Parties (if the Distribution occurs) (the Liberty Parties or the SpinCo Parties, as applicable, being the "Affected Parties") ---------------- pursuant to this Section 4.3 if a Prohibited Effect described in Section 4.3(a) occurs; provided, however, that if the Notice Party and TW Parent also agree -------- ------- that certain actions could be taken by the Notice Party and its Controlled Affiliates (or by the Affected Party, if different from the Notice Party, and its Controlled Affiliates) to eliminate the Prohibited Effect which would be substantially less burdensome to the Notice Party and its Controlled Affiliates (and to the Affected Party, if different from the Notice Party, and its Controlled Affiliates) than the actions that TW Parent and its Controlled Affiliates would be required to take in order to cure the Prohibited Effect would be to TW Parent and its Controlled Affiliates and the costs to effect such actions would be substantially less than the cost to compensate the Affected Parties pursuant to this Section 4.3, then subject to the following sentence, the Liberty Parties or SpinCo Parties, as the case may be, shall, at TW Parent's expense, use reasonable efforts to take such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless such Liberty Party or SpinCo Party otherwise agrees, no Liberty Party or SpinCo Party shall be required to dispose of any of its TW Securities, to dispose of any assets or discontinue any business or investments that LMC Parent or SpinCo, as applicable, determines in good faith are material to the Liberty Parties or SpinCo Parties or their respective strategic objectives, or to agree to any restrictions or limitations that LMC Parent or SpinCo, as applicable, deems significant on the future operation of its business. (d) If the Prohibited Effect cannot be cured or avoided, or for any reason (including the failure of the parties to agree upon any course of action or alternative courses of action that would cure or avoid the Prohibited Effect or the relative burdens thereof) has not been cured or avoided (x) within 60 days after notice has been given to TW Parent pursuant to this Section 4.3 (unless prior to the expiration of such 60-day period, TW Parent or the applicable of the Liberty Parties or SpinCo Parties, as agreed by TW Parent and LMC Parent or SpinCo, as applicable, have commenced an agreed upon course of action to cure such Prohibited Effect and such cure is effected within an agreed period of time thereafter), or (y) if earlier, by such date as any Liberty Party or SpinCo Party would be required by any Governmental Entity or pursuant to any Judgment against it or its properties to divest of any TW Securities or suffer any consequences of the kind enumerated in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Prohibited Effect, then in any such event TW Parent shall be obligated to compensate the Affected Parties pursuant to this Section 4.3. (e) If TW Parent becomes obligated to compensate the Affected Parties pursuant to this Section 4.3, then TW Parent shall be required to (i) compensate any Affected Party that disposes of Covered TW Securities to the extent required by or to the extent necessary to avoid the applicable Prohibited Effect and (ii) if the aggregate number of Covered TW Securities disposed of by the Affected Parties pursuant to clause (i) above equals or exceeds (on an as converted basis, if applicable) 5% of the sum of the number of Covered TW Securities of all Shareholders immediately after the Effective Time of the Mergers, plus the number of Covered TW Securities included in the Option Consideration (as such numbers shall be appropriately adjusted from time to time to take into 26 account the occurrence of any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations and the like), then, at the option of LMC Parent (if the Affected Party is a Liberty Party) or SpinCo (if the Affected Party is a SpinCo Party) (exercised by notice in writing to TW Parent within 60 days of the first disposition pursuant to clause (i) above), compensate all Affected Parties for the disposition of all the Covered TW Securities if all TW Securities of all Affected Parties are disposed of within 12 months of such notice (provided that claims for compensation may be made pursuant to the following sentences as dispositions are made during such 12 month period and payment of such claims shall not be delayed or deferred for such 12 month period, but rather shall be paid as provided below, and provided, further, that if all TW Securities of the Affected Parties are not disposed of within such 12-month period, the Affected Parties shall reimburse TW Parent for the amount of compensation paid pursuant to this clause (ii) that is in excess of the amount that was required to be paid pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence). If TW Parent becomes obligated to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section 4.3, then such Affected Party, if it desires to assert a claim for compensation hereunder, shall provide to TW Parent a statement, certified by independent public accountants of national standing, setting forth the estimated Blended Rate for the taxable year in which the particular disposition occurred and the estimated Adjustment Amount owed to such Affected Party with respect to those of its TW Securities so disposed of. Within 30 days after delivery of such statement, TW Parent shall pay to such Affected Party the estimated Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account and in accordance with such instructions as such Affected Party shall have previously advised TW Parent in writing. Within 30 days after the end of the taxable year in which the particular disposition of TW Securities by such Affected Party occurred, such Affected Party shall provide to TW Parent a statement, certified by independent public accountants of national standing, setting forth the actual Blended Rate for such taxable year and the actual Adjustment Amount owed to such Affected Party with respect to such disposition. Within five days after delivery of such statement, (i) TW Parent shall pay to such Affected Party an amount equal to the amount by which the Adjustment Amount exceeds the estimated Adjustment Amount, or (ii) such Affected Party shall pay to TW Parent an amount equal to the amount by which the estimated Adjustment Amount exceeds the Adjustment Amount. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account and in accordance with such instructions as such payee shall have previously advised such payor in writing. (f) LMC Parent shall upon request from time to time advise TW Parent of the identity of each Liberty Party and, following the Distribution, SpinCo shall upon request from time to time advise TW Parent of the identity of each SpinCo Party. SECTION 4.4 Certain Post-Closing Covenants. ------------------------------ (a) If a Holdco Rights Plan is in effect immediately following the Effective Time of the Mergers or no Holdco Rights Plan is then in effect, but a Holdco Rights Plan is thereafter adopted, then, in either such case, such Holdco Rights Plan (the "Initial Rights Plan") shall, in all material respects, be the ------------------- same as the Amended TW Plan. If Holdco amends the Initial Rights Plan 27 or adopts a new Holdco Rights Plan after adoption of the Initial Rights Plan (such amended or new plan, the "Subsequent Rights Plan") and the "Beneficial ---------------------- Ownership" by any Liberty Party or SpinCo Party, alone or together with all of its "Affiliates" and "Associates", of TW Securities would, by reason of and immediately upon such amendment or adoption, have effects ("Rights Plan ----------- Effects") under such Subsequent Rights Plan analogous to the effects under the - ------- Rights Agreement of a person becoming an "Acquiring Person" (as defined therein) or of the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement becoming transferable separately from the TW Parent Common Stock, but such "Beneficial Ownership" would not have had such effects under the Amended TW Plan, then Holdco shall be required to (i) compensate, as provided below, any such Liberty Party or SpinCo Party, together with its "Affiliates" and "Associates", that disposes of TW Securities (the "Selling Parties") to the extent necessary to avoid the Rights --------------- Plan Effects and (ii) if the aggregate number of TW Securities disposed of by the Selling Parties pursuant to clause (i) above equals or exceeds (on an as converted basis, if applicable) 5% of the sum of the number of Covered TW Securities of all Shareholders immediately after the Effective Time of the Mergers, plus the number of Covered TW Securities included in the Option Consideration (as such numbers shall be appropriately adjusted from time to time to take into account the occurrence of any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations and the like), then, at the option of LMC Parent, on behalf of the Liberty Parties, and at the option of SpinCo, on behalf of the SpinCo Parties (exercised by notice in writing to Holdco within 60 days of the first disposition pursuant to clause (i) above), compensate, as provided below (x) all Selling Parties that are Liberty Parties for the disposition of all TW Securities owned by the Liberty Parties of the type considered by the Subsequent Rights Plan in determining the "Beneficial Ownership" that would trigger Rights Plan Effects (the "Relevant TW Securities") and (y) all Selling Parties that are ---------------------- SpinCo Parties for the disposition of all Relevant TW Securities owned by the SpinCo Parties, as applicable, provided, in each case, that all Relevant TW Securities of the Liberty Parties or the SpinCo Parties, as applicable, are disposed of within 12 months of such notice (provided that claims for compensation may be made pursuant to the following sentences as dispositions are made during such 12 month period and payment of such claims shall not be delayed or deferred for such 12 month period, but rather shall be paid as provided below, and provided, further, that if all Relevant TW Securities of the Selling Parties are not disposed of within such 12-month period, the Selling Parties shall reimburse TW Parent for the amount of compensation paid pursuant to this clause (ii) that is in excess of the amount that was required to be paid pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence). The obligation of Holdco to compensate any Selling Party pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be subject to the condition that, as of the date of the adoption of the Subsequent Rights Plan, (i) such Selling Party and its "Affiliates" and "Associates" shall have made all filings on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of Relevant TW Securities due on or prior to such date in compliance with Regulation 13D-G under the Exchange Act, and (ii) LMC Parent or Spinco, as applicable, shall be in compliance with its obligations under Section 4.4(b), except to the extent any failure to make any such filings, and/or any failure to be in compliance with such obligations, shall not have prejudiced Holdco. If TW Parent becomes obligated to compensate any Selling Party pursuant to this Section 4.4(a), then such Selling Party, if it desires to assert a claim for compensation hereunder, shall provide to TW Parent a statement, 28 certified by independent public accountants of national standing, setting forth the estimated Blended Rate for the taxable year in which the particular disposition occurred and the estimated Adjustment Amount owed to such Selling Party with respect to those of its Relevant TW Securities so disposed of. Within 30 days after delivery of such statement, TW Parent shall pay to such Selling Party the estimated Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account and in accordance with such instructions as such Selling Party shall have previously advised TW Parent in writing. Within 30 days after the end of the taxable year in which the particular disposition of Relevant TW Securities by such Selling Party occurred, such Selling Party shall provide to TW Parent a statement, certified by independent public accountants of national standing, setting forth the actual Blended Rate for such taxable year and the actual Adjustment Amount owed to such Selling Party with respect to such disposition. Within five days after delivery of such statement, (i) TW Parent shall pay to such Selling Party an amount equal to the amount by which the Adjustment Amount exceeds the estimated Adjustment Amount, or (ii) such Selling Party shall pay to TW Parent an amount equal to the amount by which the estimated Adjustment Amount exceeds the Adjustment Amount. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account and in accordance with such instructions as such payee shall have previously advised such payor in writing. (b) Prior to the Closing, LMC Parent shall, and following the Closing, if Holdco adopts a Holdco Rights Plan having the terms contemplated by the first sentence of Section 4.4(a), LMC Parent and SpinCo (following the Distribution) shall, promptly notify TW Parent in writing of (i) any acquisition of "Beneficial Ownership" of "Common Shares" by any of its "Affiliates" or Associates", and (ii) any "Person" who has "Beneficial Ownership" of any "Common Shares" becoming its "Affiliate" or "Associate", in each case promptly following LMC Parent's or SpinCo's (as applicable) obtaining actual knowledge of such occurrence. (c) Except as otherwise expressly indicated, terms used in Section 4.4(a) and Section 4.4(b) in quotation marks have the meanings given such terms (i) prior to the Closing, in the Amended TW Plan, and (ii) from and after the Closing, the Holdco Rights Plan, if any, except that the Liberty Parties or, following the Distribution, the SpinCo Parties shall be deemed to "Beneficially Own" any TW Securities the subject of an "Offer Notice" (under Section 3 of the First Refusal Agreement) from any Turner Stockholder (as defined in the First Refusal Agreement), any "Fast-Track Offer Notice" (under Section 3.3 of the First Refusal Agreement) from any Turner Stockholder or any "Tender Notice" (under Section 3.4 of the First Refusal Agreement) from any Turner Stockholder, in each case until the earlier of the purchase of such TW Securities pursuant to the First Refusal Agreement and the first date upon which such Turner Stockholder is free to sell such TW Securities. 29 ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 5.1 Expenses.

If any contest shall involve ---------------------------------- issues with respect to which both TCITP and Holdco have contest rights hereunder, the parties will cooperate in any such contest, and will endeavor to permit each party to control the contest of issues for which it has contest rights. In the event there is a disagreement among the parties over matters (such as choice of forum) relating to issues the contest of which are controlled by more than one party, such disagreement shall be resolved in favor of the party who controls the contest of the issues therein which, in the aggregate, would result in the largest Tax liability if resolved unfavorably or the largest Tax refund if resolved favorably. (e) Notice; Cooperation. If UCTI, Holdco, any Affiliate of Holdco or ------------------- any member of the LMC Group (in either case the "Tax Indemnified Party") receives any written communication from a taxing authority regarding any actual or proposed assessment, official inquiry or proceeding that could give rise to an official determination with respect to any asserted Tax liability or refund claim for any period for which TCITP or UCTI, respectively (the "Tax Indemnifying Party"), may be liable (in the case of a liability) or may be entitled (in the case of a refund claim) pursuant to this Agreement, such Tax Indemnified Party (i) shall within 30 days of receipt of such written communication so notify such Tax Indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) shall request in such notice that such Tax Indemnifying Party notify it in writing if it intends to exercise its contest rights hereunder, and (iii) shall, prior to and for at least 30 days after so notifying such Tax Indemnifying Party (or, if less, within a period ending 5 days, including any extension, prior to the date on which the Tax Indemnified Party is required to take action pursuant to such written communication), refrain from making any payment of any Tax claimed and forebear from any settlement negotiations or compromises with respect to such proposed adjustment. The Tax Indemnifying Party agrees to notify the Tax Indemnified Party in writing within such 30 day period if it intends to exercise its contest rights hereunder with respect to the asserted Tax liability, refund 12 claim or credit claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in connection with any examination process with respect to any asserted Tax liability, refund claim or credit claim and shall make available on a reasonable basis to each other any personnel, books, records or other documents necessary or appropriate for participation in such process. (f) Payment.

Otherwise, such Tax Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of any indemnification obligation (net of any payment made pursuant to the preceding sentence) to such Tax Indemnified Party no later than 5 days after any Final Determination with respect to the Tax giving rise to such indemnity obligation. (g) Obligations of Tax Indemnified Party. The failure of a Tax ------------------------------------ Indemnified Party to comply with any of its obligations under this Section 3.4 ----------- shall not relieve any Tax Indemnifying Party or any other party of its indemnity obligations hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Tax Indemnifying Party or other party is actually prejudiced by such failure. 3.5 CARRYBACKS.
