OTHER EVENTS On June 30, 1998, the registrant commenced a solicitation of votes with respect to a pre-packaged reorganization plan (the "Reorganization Plan"), pursuant to which the registrant will restructure its financial obligations. The solicitation is being sent to the holders of the registrant's 12-1/4% Senior Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Notes") and certain other impaired creditors. The registrant has not yet commenced a reorganization case under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. If it receives the requisite votes indicating acceptance of its proposed reorganization plan, however, the registrant intends to file a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Although the Reorganization Plan was developed in the course of discussions and negotiations with the registrant's senior lender and an Unofficial Committee representing approximately 73% of the outstanding Senior Notes, the Plan has not yet been approved or endorsed by any creditor or the Unofficial Committee. Under the Company's proposed Reorganization Plan, holders of the Senior Notes will receive approximately $16.4 million in cash, $100,000,000 of new Senior Notes due 2004 and 91% of the equity of the reorganized CAI. The holder of CAI's $30,000,000 12% Subordinated Note and the holders of CAI's Subordinated Promissory Notes due September 29, 2000 issued by CAI in connection with the acquisition of wireless cable assets in the Baltimore and Washington markets will receive their PRO RATA share of the remaining 9% of the new common stock of the reorganized CAI. The Reorganization Plan does not provide any recovery for CAI's current common shareholders or other equity- based interest holders. CAI's trade creditors, including ALL ITFS or MMDS licenseholders that lease excess capacity to CAI's various subsidiaries, will remain unimpaired and be paid in the ordinary course of CAI's operations. CAI intends to continue to pay its employees wages and benefits. A copy of the Disclosure Statement, with exhibits, is filed as an exhibit hereto. The voting deadline for the solicitation is July 27, 1998. Item 7 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS C. Exhibits 99.1 Disclosure Statement dated as of June 30, 1998 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

EX-1 2 THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING CONDUCTED TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT ACCEPTANCES OF A JOINT REORGANIZATION PLAN PRIOR TO THE FILING OF VOLUNTARY REORGANIZATION CASES UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY CODE. BECAUSE NO CHAPTER 11 CASES HAVE YET BEEN COMMENCED, THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AS CONTAINING ADEQUATE INFORMATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 1125(a) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. FOLLOWING THE COMMENCEMENT OF THEIR CHAPTER 11 CASES, CAI WIRELESS SYSTEMS, INC. AND PHILADELPHIA CHOICE TELEVISION, INC. EXPECT TO PROMPTLY SEEK AN ORDER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT (i) APPROVING (a) THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AS HAVING CONTAINED ADEQUATE INFORMATION AND (b) THE SOLICITATION OF VOTES AS HAVING BEEN IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 1126(b) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE AND (ii) CONFIRMING THE JOINT REORGANIZATION PLAN DESCRIBED HEREIN. DISCLOSURE STATEMENT DATED JUNE 30, 1998 Pre-Petition Solicitation of Votes With Respect to Prepackaged Joint Reorganization Plan of CAI WIRELESS SYSTEMS, INC. AND PHILADELPHIA CHOICE TELEVISION, INC. from the holders of CAI Wireless Systems, Inc.'s 12 1/4% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2002 and certain other IMPAIRED CREDITORS NEITHER CAI WIRELESS SYSTEMS, INC. NOR PHILADELPHIA CHOICE TELEVISION, INC. HAS COMMENCED A CASE UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE AT THIS TIME. THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT SOLICITS ACCEPTANCES OF THE PLAN AND CONTAINS INFORMATION RELEVANT TO A DECISION TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN. THE VOTING DEADLINE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PREPACKAGED REORGANIZATION PLAN IS 5:00 P.M. (EASTERN TIME) ON JULY 27, 1998, UNLESS EXTENDED BY THE COMPANIES (THE "VOTING DEADLINE"). IN ORDER TO BE COUNTED, BALLOTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE VOTING AGENT BY THE VOTING DEADLINE. CAI Wireless Systems, Inc. ("CAI") and Philadelphia Choice Television, Inc. ("PCT" and, together with CAI, the "Companies") are furnishing this Disclosure Statement and the Exhibits hereto, the accompanying Ballots and Master Ballots, and the related materials delivered herewith pursuant to Section 1126(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101-1330, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), in connection with their solicitation (the "Solicitation") of acceptances of the proposed prepackaged joint reorganization plan described herein (the "Plan," a copy of which is annexed to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit A). CAI and PCT are soliciting such acceptances from all impaired creditors entitled to vote under the Plan and Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Companies are furnishing this Disclosure Statement to each impaired creditor entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. The Disclosure Statement is to be used by each such creditor solely in connection with its evaluation of the Plan; use of the Disclosure Statement for any other purpose is not authorized. The Disclosure Statement may not be reproduced or provided to others (other than to those advisors of any recipient of the Disclosure Statement who may review the information contained herein to assist such recipient in its evaluation of the Plan) without the prior written consent of CAI. The Companies have not commenced reorganization cases under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the date of this Disclosure Statement. If, however, the Companies receive properly completed Ballots and Master Ballots (that are not subsequently revoked) indicating acceptance of the Plan in sufficient number and amount to meet the voting requirements prescribed by Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Requisite Acceptances"), they intend to file (but hereby expressly reserve the right not to file) with a United States Bankruptcy Court voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and to seek, as promptly thereafter as practicable, confirmation of the Plan. The Consummation Date is expected to occur shortly following the Bankruptcy Court's entry of an order confirming the Plan (the "Confirmation Order"). CAI does not presently intend to commence a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of its Subsidiaries other than PCT, or to include any of its other Subsidiaries in its Chapter 11 case. In the event that the Requisite Acceptances are not received, or if received are subsequently revoked, in either case, prior to the termination of the Solicitation, the Companies hereby reserve the absolute right to use any and all Ballots and Master Ballots accepting the Plan that were received pursuant to the Solicitation, and not subsequently revoked, to seek confirmation of the Plan (or of any modification thereof that does not materially and adversely affect the treatment of the class(es) of Claims with respect to which such Ballots or Master Ballots were cast) pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. See Section VIII.E.3 -- "Summary of the Plan -- Confirmation of the Plan -- Confirmation Without Acceptance of All Impaired Classes" below. _____________________________ THE PLAN PROVIDES FOR, AMONG OTHER THINGS, (i) CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS OF CASH, (ii) THE ISSUANCE BY REORGANIZED CAI OF (a) THE NEW SENIOR NOTES AND NEW COMMON STOCK FOR DISTRIBUTION TO CERTAIN HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST CAI AND (b) OPTIONS TO PURCHASE NEW COMMON STOCK FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE COMPANIES' FINANCIAL ADVISORS AND CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT OF REORGANIZED CAI, (iii) THE SALE AND ASSIGNMENT BY CAI OF APPROXIMATELY 16 CONTRACTS TO PROVIDE CABLE TELEVISION SERVICE TO VARIOUS MULTI-DWELLING UNITS IN THE PHILADELPHIA MARKET, AND (iv) THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE SALE AND ASSIGNMENT BY PCT OF APPROXIMATELY 48 CONTRACTS TO PROVIDE CABLE TELEVISION SERVICE TO VARIOUS MULTI-DWELLING UNITS IN THE PHILADELPHIA MARKET. BECAUSE ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN WILL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF ALL THE PROVISIONS THEREOF, CREDITORS ARE URGED TO CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE INFORMATION REGARDING TREATMENT OF THEIR CLAIMS CONTAINED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. THE COMPANIES INTEND TO CONTINUE OPERATING THEIR BUSINESSES IN CHAPTER 11 IN THE ORDINARY COURSE AND TO SEEK TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY RELIEF FROM THE BANKRUPTCY COURT TO PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES, TRADE, AND CERTAIN OTHER CREDITORS IN FULL AND ON TIME. THE CLAIMS OF THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, THE COMPANIES' EMPLOYEES, GENERAL UNSECURED CREDITORS (INCLUDING TRADE CREDITORS, LICENSORS, AND LESSORS), AND SECURED CREDITORS ARE NOT IMPAIRED UNDER THE PLAN. THE CONFIRMATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN ARE SUBJECT TO MATERIAL CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. SEE SECTION VIII.E.4 -- "SUMMARY OF THE PLAN -- CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN -- CONDITIONS TO CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMMATION." THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THOSE CONDITIONS WILL BE SATISFIED. THE COMPANIES PRESENTLY INTEND TO SEEK TO CONSUMMATE THE PLAN AND TO CAUSE THE CONSUMMATION DATE TO OCCUR PROMPTLY AFTER CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, AS TO WHEN AND WHETHER CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN AND THE CONSUMMATION DATE ACTUALLY WILL OCCUR. PROCEDURES FOR DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN, INCLUDING MATTERS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE TIMING OF THE RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS BY HOLDERS OF CLAIMS IN CERTAIN CLASSES AND THAT COULD AFFECT THE AMOUNT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ULTIMATELY RECEIVED BY SUCH HOLDERS, ARE DESCRIBED IN SECTION VIII.D.6 -- "SUMMARY OF THE PLAN -- SUMMARY OF OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN -- DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN." THE TERMS OF THE PLAN HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN THE COURSE OF DISCUSSIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS WITH (i) MLGAF, THE HOLDER OF THE COMPANIES' 13% SENIOR SECURED NOTES (THE "SECURED NOTES"), (ii) AN UNOFFICIAL COMMITTEE (THE "UNOFFICIAL NOTEHOLDERS' COMMITTEE") COMPRISED OF CERTAIN HOLDERS OF CAI'S 12 1/4% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2002 (THE "SENIOR NOTES") WHO COLLECTIVELY HOLD OR MANAGE APPROXIMATELY 73% OF THE SENIOR NOTES, AND (iii) THE HOLDER OF THE COMPANIES' 12% SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE OCTOBER 1, 2005 (THE "12% SUBORDINATED NOTE"). ALTHOUGH THE PLAN AND VARIOUS RELATED MATTERS REFERRED TO IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY AND DISCUSSED WITH MLGAF, THE UNOFFICIAL NOTEHOLDERS' COMMITTEE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, AND REFLECT TO SOME EXTENT THE VIEWS OF THOSE PARTIES, THE UNOFFICIAL NOTEHOLDERS' COMMITTEE HAS NOT APPROVED OR ENDORSED THE PLAN OR RECOMMENDED THAT OTHER HOLDERS OF SENIOR NOTES VOTE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN. THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANIES HAVE APPROVED THE PLAN AND RECOMMEND THAT THE HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN VOTE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN. _____________________________ IF THE PLAN IS NOT CONFIRMED AND CONSUMMATED, THE COMPANIES BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THEIR ABILITY (AND THE ABILITY OF CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES) TO CONTINUE AS GOING CONCERNS. CAI BELIEVES THAT IF THE PLAN IS NOT CONFIRMED AND CONSUMMATED, CAI (AND CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES) WOULD HAVE TO FILE PETITIONS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. THE COMPANIES HAVE ARRANGED FOR FINANCING UNDER THE DIP FACILITY (AS DEFINED HEREIN) IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLAN AND BELIEVE THAT SUCH FINANCING (i) IS NECESSARY TO CONSUMMATE THE PLAN AND (ii) MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN A CASE UNDER THE BANKRUPTCY CODE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PRE-PACKAGED REORGANIZATION PLAN. WITHOUT ADDITIONAL FINANCING, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANIES WILL BE ABLE TO EMERGE FROM A CASE UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, AND THE COMPANIES (AND CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES) MAY BE FORCED INTO A LIQUIDATION UNDER CHAPTER 7 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. THE COMPANIES BELIEVE THAT IF THEY ARE LIQUIDATED UNDER CHAPTER 7, THE VALUE OF THE ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PAYMENT OF CREDITORS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE VALUE OF THE DISTRIBUTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY AND UNDER THE PLAN. SEE SECTION XIV.C -- "FEASIBILITY OF THE PLAN AND THE BEST INTERESTS OF CREDITORS TEST -- LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS" BELOW. _____________________________ THE COMPANIES BELIEVE THAT THE PLAN IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THEIR CREDITORS. ACCORDINGLY, CREDITORS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN ARE URGED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN. (VOTING INSTRUCTIONS ARE SET FORTH IN SECTION XVI OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT.) TO BE COUNTED, YOUR BALLOT MUST BE DULY COMPLETED, EXECUTED, AND ACTUALLY RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 5:00 P.M., EASTERN TIME, ON JULY 27, 1998. CREDITORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ AND CONSIDER CAREFULLY THIS ENTIRE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, INCLUDING THE PLAN ANNEXED HERETO AS EXHIBIT A AND THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT UNDER "CERTAIN RISK FACTORS," PRIOR TO VOTING. IN MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION, CREDITORS MUST RELY ON THEIR OWN EXAMINATION OF THE COMPANIES AND THE TERMS OF THE PLAN, INCLUDING THE MERITS AND RISKS INVOLVED.

EACH CREDITOR SHOULD CONSULT WITH ITS OWN LEGAL, BUSINESS, FINANCIAL, AND TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH MATTERS CONCERNING THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE SOLICITATION, THE PLAN AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. SEE SECTION XI -- "CERTAIN FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED" FOR A DISCUSSION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH AN INVESTMENT DECISION. _____________________________ THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT HAS NOT BEEN FILED WITH OR REVIEWED BY, AND THE NEW SENIOR NOTES AND NEW COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED ON THE CONSUMMATION DATE WILL NOT HAVE BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH, THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") OR ANY SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS.

INTRODUCTION CAI Wireless Systems, Inc., a Connecticut corporation ("CAI" or the "Company"), and Philadelphia Choice Television, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PCT" and, together with CAI, the "Companies") hereby transmit this disclosure statement (the "Disclosure Statement") pursuant to Section 1126(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101-1330, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), for use in the solicitation of votes (the "Solicitation") to accept their prepackaged joint reorganization plan, dated June 30, 1998 (the "Plan," a copy of which is annexed to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit A). The Solicitation is being conducted at this time in order to obtain (prior to the commencement of a Chapter 11 case) sufficient acceptances to enable the Plan to be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Companies believe that this pre-petition Solicitation will significantly simplify, shorten, and reduce the cost of the administration of, and minimize disputes during, their Chapter 11 case. (CAI does not intend to commence Chapter 11 cases for any of its Subsidiaries other than PCT.) CAI believes that this will minimize the disruption of the Companies' businesses that could result from a traditional bankruptcy case, which would likely be contested and protracted. Further, in a lengthy bankruptcy case, CAI believes that there is a substantial risk that recoveries by the Companies' creditors would be significantly less than the proposed recoveries under the Plan. CAI's operating strategy, since the potential availability of digital technology deployment on a commercial basis (approximately late-1994) has been to execute a business plan with one or more strategic users of its most valuable asset, a substantial amalgamation of MMDS spectrum concentrated in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. Recognizing that there are significant capital expenditures associated with the construction and operation of a broad-based MMDS system capable of serving a large segment of its markets, CAI formulated a business plan whereby a large portion of such expenditures would be borne by a Strategic Partner. Under this business plan, CAI would become a wholesale transport services provider, and, over time, not engage directly in any retail business. In March 1995, CAI sought to implement this business plan with Bell Atlantic Corporation ("Bell Atlantic") and NYNEX Corporation ("NYNEX"), regional bell operating companies with a combined operating territory substantially identical to the spectrum footprint of CAI. The joint venture, which was memorialized in a Business Relationship Agreement (the "BR Agreement") between CAI and certain affiliates of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX (the "BANX Affiliates") and coupled with a $100,000,000 investment by the BANX Partnership, was consummated by September 1995, simultaneous with (i) the consummation by CAI of five acquisitions, including the purchase of ACS Enterprises, Inc., a publicly-held MMDS operator based in Philadelphia, PA, and (ii) the $275,000,000 offering of the Senior Notes. The BR Agreement contemplated that the BANX Affiliates, at their option, could elect to become the provider of subscription video programming in any of CAI's markets utilizing CAI's MMDS spectrum in such markets. The video programming, which was to be assembled and packaged by Tele-TV, a joint venture formed by Bell Atlantic, NYNEX and Pacific Telesis, would be delivered to CAI's state-of-the art digital MMDS transmission facilities, and transmitted to Bell Atlantic/NYNEX customers under the Bell Atlantic/NYNEX name. In fulfillment of its obligations under the BR Agreement, CAI began the construction of such digital transmission facilities in Hampton Roads, VA and Boston, MA, the first two markets identified by the BANX Affiliates as potential markets for this new digital subscription video product. Notwithstanding the significant expenditure of resources by all involved, neither BANX Affiliate ever exercised an election to provide digital transport services in Hampton Roads, Boston or any other market originally subject to the BR Agreement. In December 1996, when it became apparent to CAI that the focus of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX had shifted away from subscription video utilizing CAI's transport system, CAI and Bell Atlantic/NYNEX entered into a series of agreements that resulted in a termination of the BR Agreement and the disposition and eventual cancellation or exchange of all of the CAI securities originally issued to the BANX Partnership in connection with their $100,000,000 investment in CAI. During the period of inaction by Bell Atlantic/NYNEX, and due in part to the Company's concerns over such inaction, CAI embarked upon a strategy of preserving its MMDS spectrum and expanding the authorized uses of such spectrum to fully realize the spectrum's technical capabilities. Through a series of demonstrations and trials, CAI has been an industry leader in its efforts to engineer and obtain regulatory authority for fixed, flexible two-way use of the MMDS spectrum for services such as data transmission and telephony. In addition to a series of specific flexible use authorizations received by CAI during the last two years, CAI has participated with the industry trade group in seeking to obtain from the FCC authority for fixed, flexible two-way use of the MMDS spectrum on an industry-wide basis. CAI expects the FCC to issue such authority during the summer of 1998. CAI continues to believe that a Strategic Partner is necessary for the MMDS industry to fully realize the potential of this spectrum. Since the departure of Bell Atlantic/NYNEX, CAI has aggressively sought one or more national-level Strategic Partners with the financial resources and infrastructure to fully utilize the MMDS spectrum for video, voice and data transmission. CAI has demonstrated, and continues to demonstrate, its technological capabilities to several potential Strategic Partners, and is currently conducting an on-site trial for a telecommunications company, providing wireless Internet and corporate intranet access for trial participants at various locations in the greater New York City area. Recently, this trial has been expanded to include two-way data transmission with the deployment of first generation transverters developed by a high-technology equipment manufacturer in conjunction with CAI engineers. CAI also has invested in TelQuest Satellite Services LLC in order to access pre-digitized video programming and to provide a vehicle for a complementary Direct-to-Home (DTH) video service that could, eventually, free additional MMDS spectrum for these alternative uses. CAI's Plan, described herein, is designed to assist in the implementation of CAI's long-term objective of obtaining one or more Strategic Partners interested in pursuing further the full capabilities of the MMDS spectrum for video, voice and data transmission. CAI believes that "Reorganized CAI" will be in a better position to attract one or more Strategic Partners, and that it will be in a better position to assist such Strategic Partners with a broader aggregation of MMDS spectrum. This Disclosure Statement sets forth certain detailed information regarding CAI's history, projections for the future, and significant events expected to occur during the Chapter 11 Case. This Disclosure Statement also describes the Plan, alternatives to the Plan, effects of confirmation of the Plan, and the manner in which distributions will be made under the Plan. In addition, this Disclosure Statement discusses the confirmation process and the voting procedures that holders of Claims in impaired Classes must follow for their votes to be counted.

E. The Confirmation Hearing If the Companies receive the Requisite Acceptances with respect to the Plan, the Companies intend to file voluntary petitions to commence the Chapter 11 Case and request that the Bankruptcy Court schedule a hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan (the "Confirmation Hearing") as soon as possible, at the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Marine Midland Plaza, 824 Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19899. The Companies will request confirmation of the Plan, as it may be modified from time to time, under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and they have reserved the right to (i) modify the Plan to the extent, if any, that confirmation pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification and (ii) use any and all Ballots and Master Ballots accepting the Plan that were received pursuant to the Solicitation, and not subsequently revoked, to seek confirmation of the Plan (or of any modification thereof that does not materially and adversely affect the treatment of the class(es) of Claims with respect to which such Ballots or Master Ballots were cast) pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. II. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Introduction The primary purpose of the Plan is to effectuate a restructuring of CAI's capital structure (the "Restructuring") in order to align its capital structure with its present and future operating prospects. In addition, the Companies anticipate that the Restructuring will serve as the vehicle for the prompt and efficient sale by CAI, and distribution of the proceeds of the sale and assignment by PCT, pursuant to Section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, of approximately 64 contracts (16 by CAI and 48 by PCT) to provide cable television programming to certain multi-dwelling units in the Philadelphia, PA market (the "MDU Assets") to Mid-Atlantic Telcom Plus, d/b/a OnePoint Communications ("OnePoint"). The Reorganized Companies shall use a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the MDU Assets to establish and fund a Distribution Reserve for and on account of certain Disputed Claims against PCT. All sale proceeds remaining after the establishment and funding of the Distribution Reserve shall be used by the Reorganized Companies, first to fund distributions required to be made under the Plan, and second, for general working capital purposes. At present, the funds generated by CAI are insufficient to meet debt service requirements. The Restructuring would reduce significantly the principal amount of CAI's outstanding indebtedness by converting a substantial portion of CAI's indebtedness into New Common Stock. By offering the holders of Senior Notes ninety-one percent (91%) of the equity of CAI on a post-Restructuring basis, CAI intends that such holders will participate in the long-term appreciation of CAI's business, which CAI expects will be enhanced by the reduction of its debt service and the implementation of the new business plan described in more detail below. See Section III.A-- "Business Plans for the Reorganized Companies -- Business and Operating Strategies of CAI." The Restructuring would also enhance CAI's ability to attract a Strategic Partner and contemplates a new senior secured credit facility of at least $70 million, thereby significantly enhancing the liquidity, and the opportunity for success, of Reorganized CAI. During the pendency of the Restructuring and thereafter, both CAI and PCT expect to make payment in full on all General Unsecured Claims, including the Claims of trade creditors, and to continue to operate their businesses in the ordinary course. B. CAI CAI is a Connecticut corporation, with its principal executive offices located at 18 Corporate Woods Boulevard, Albany, New York 12211. CAI also maintains offices at 101 Ponds Edge Drive, Suite 300, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania 19317, where its operational headquarters, including the president and chief operating officer and CAI's accounting and human resources departments are located, and at 2101 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 100, Arlington, Virginia 22201, where CAI's engineering and regulatory affairs departments are located. CAI, primarily through its Operating Subsidiaries, is a leading developer, owner and operator, in terms of number of subscription television subscribers and number of Estimated Total Service Area households, of wireless telecommunications transport systems utilizing Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Services ("MMDS") spectrum. In CAI's 14 primary markets, there are a total of 16,135,174 Estimated Total Service Area households. Initially, CAI focused on the development of MMDS subscription television systems in major metropolitan markets, primarily in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. CAI then focused on the development and build-out of digital MMDS television systems in connection with its joint venture with Bell Atlantic Corporation and NYNEX Corporation. Following the termination of this joint venture, CAI has endeavored to develop alternative uses of its MMDS spectrum and has pursued development of other lines of business, including high speed Internet and intranet access, as well as digital video and fixed wireless telephony services. See Section III.A -- "Business Plans for the Reorganized CAI -- Business And Operating Strategies of CAI." CAI had approximately 50,000 analog video subscribers as of May 31, 1998. MMDS subscription television programming and other MMDS-based telecommunications transport services are transmitted through the air via microwave frequencies from a central transmission facility to a small receiving antenna at each subscriber's location, and require a line-of-sight ("LOS") path between the transmit point and the receiving antenna. Thus, in communities with tall trees, hilly terrain, tall buildings or other obstructions in the transmission path, in which MMDS transmission can be difficult or impossible to receive at certain locations, CAI has used low power signal repeaters (known as "beambenders") or signal boosters, which retransmit an otherwise blocked signal over a limited area to improve coverage. The use of beambenders and/or signal boosters increases the costs per subscriber. In addition, CAI has designed cellular networks which utilize a main transmission facility and additional cell sites that rebroadcast the signal within a smaller area to improve coverage. MMDS spectrum is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), which governs, among other things, the issuance, renewal, assignment, transfer and modification of licenses necessary for MMDS systems to operate. "MMDS" is the vernacular term used to describe CAI's business and includes both MMDS and Multichannel Distribution Service ("MDS") channels, as well as Instructional Television Fixed Service ("ITFS") channels. To date, the MMDS spectrum has been licensed by the FCC for one-way video and data transmission on an industry-wide basis. In addition, CAI has applied for and received a variety of authorizations from the FCC for fixed, flexible use of its MMDS spectrum in certain of CAI's markets. CAI has received from the FCC (i) authorization for a market trial of up to 500 customers for its high speed one-way Internet access product (which uses a telephone line for the return path) in Rochester, NY, (ii) authorization for a market trial of up to 1,000 customers for its high speed one-way Internet access product in New York City, (iii) permanent authorization for fixed, two-way flexible use of five channels for 16 customer sites located in and around the Boston market, (iv) permanent authorization for fixed, two-way flexible use of two channels for unlimited customer sites within ten miles of seven hub sites (four of which require further FCC authorizations) located in and around Boston, MA, and (v) authorization from the FCC to utilize its MMDS spectrum in Pittsburgh, PA for a variety of tests, including the simulation of a commercial roll-out of fixed, two-way services to customers located within a 20-mile radius of CAI's main transmission facility in Pittsburgh. CAI has also received developmental authorization to test fixed, flexible two-way uses on two channels located in its Hartford, CT market; however, CAI does not have any plans to conduct any testing in that market at this time. C. History Of CAI 1. General CAI was formed in 1991 to invest in and operate MMDS subscription television systems. Initially, CAI focused on the development of analog MMDS subscription television systems in major metropolitan markets, primarily in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. Starting with an operating analog system in Albany, NY, and systems planned for Rochester, NY, Norfolk, VA, Hartford, CT and Boston, MA, CAI made its initial public offering of 3,400,000 shares of Old Common Stock on February 17, 1994. The offering price was $11.00 per share, and CAI raised $34,782,000, after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions. CAI used the proceeds of the initial public offering for capital expenditures and operating expenses incurred in connection with the construction, launch, and development of the Rochester system, the acquisition, construction, launch and development of the Norfolk system, the upgrading and further development of the Albany system, and the launch and development of the Hartford system. The Old Common Stock was listed under the symbol "CAWS" on various Nasdaq markets until trading of the Old Common Stock was transferred to the Electronic Bulletin Board system on January 13, 1998. See Section II.D.2 -- "General Information -- Recent Developments -- De-listing by Nasdaq of Old Common Stock." As of June 15, 1998, CAI had 40,543,039 shares of Old Common Stock issued and outstanding. CAI believed that the MMDS spectrum had greater potential than simply the delivery of analog subscription video services, but recognized the challenges that expanded use of the MMDS spectrum would present it in terms of balance sheet issues, lack of brand identity and infrastructure, and the inability of the MMDS industry to compel technology companies and equipment manufacturers to develop and manufacture equipment that could take full advantage of the capabilities provided by MMDS spectrum. In an effort to address many of these issues, CAI devised a business plan that called for the continued aggregation of a significant concentration of MMDS spectrum that would be attractive to a Strategic Partner interested in utilizing the MMDS spectrum to service its customers. CAI identified the regional bell operating companies ("RBOCs") as likely partners in light of the pronouncements then being made by the hard-wire cable companies regarding their desire to enter into the phone business. CAI believed that RBOCs would be interested in developing a digital video strategy that provided the RBOCs with video delivery platform that could be implemented faster than the contemplated plant upgrades many RBOCs faced in order to offer enhanced services. CAI thus began to negotiate with Bell Atlantic Corporation and NYNEX Corporation. Simultaneously with these negotiations, CAI began to acquire additional MMDS spectrum to attempt to replicate the Bell Atlantic/NYNEX operating territories. Through a series of acquisitions culminating in the September 29, 1995 acquisition of ACS Enterprises, Inc. ("ACS"), an MMDS operator based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (with operating systems in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Ohio and Bakersfield, California), and Eastern Cable Networks of Washington, Inc. ("ECNW"), which operated the Washington, D.C. MMDS system, CAI has aggregated a significant amount of owned and leased MMDS spectrum in the Bell Atlantic/NYNEX operating territories. CAI enhanced its spectrum capacity during 1996 by being the top bidder in an FCC auction with bids totaling $36.2 million for the Basic Trading Area ("BTA") rights for its existing markets as well as for its new markets. Joint venture negotiations with Bell Atlantic and NYNEX culminated in the March 1995 execution of the BR Agreement with the BANX Affiliates and the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with the BANX Partnership. In September 1995, CAI completed the series of transactions contemplated by the BR Agreement and the SPA, including the purchase on May 9, 1995 by the BANX Partnership of $30 million of convertible term notes due May 9, 2005 (the "BANX Term Notes") and warrants (the "BANX Warrants") to purchase convertible voting preferred stock, no par value (the "Old Voting Preferred Stock") (the "Stage I Closing"), and the purchase on September 29, 1995 by the BANX Partnership of $70 million of 14% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $10,000 per share (the "Old Senior Preferred Stock") and additional BANX Warrants (the "Stage II Closing"). (The BANX Term Notes, BANX Warrants, and the Old Senior Preferred Stock are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "BANX Securities.") Upon issuance of the BANX Securities in September 1995, the full conversion or exercise of the BANX Securities would have resulted in (a) the BANX Partnership being required to make an additional investment in CAI, at that time, of approximately $202 million (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Modification Agreement (as defined below)), and (b) the BANX Partnership's pro forma ownership interest in CAI increasing to approximately 45%. The purpose of the BR Agreement was to allow CAI to realize revenue in certain of its markets without making the substantial capital expenditures generally required for subscriber equipment and installation and to eliminate most operating costs, other than channel license fees and distribution system expenses. Under the BR Agreement, CAI granted to each BANX Affiliate the option, on a market-by-market basis, to become the marketer and provider of subscription television services using CAI's MMDS transmission systems in each market in their respective service areas, in exchange for monthly service revenues payable to CAI based on the number of serviceable households and subscribers in each market so optioned by a BANX Affiliate. Simultaneous with the consummation of the BANX transactions, CAI raised $265 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses, through an offering of $275 million in aggregate principal amount of its 12*% Senior Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Notes"). The proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Senior Notes were used by CAI to fund the cash portion of certain acquisitions and to fund a debt service escrow account (the "Senior Note Escrow") in accordance with the indenture (the "Senior Notes Indenture") dated as of September 15, 1995 between CAI and The Chase Manhattan Bank (as successor to Chemical Bank), as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), governing the terms of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of CAI, except for a first priority security interest in the Senior Note Escrow granted by CAI to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes rank equal in right of payment with any other senior indebtedness of CAI that is or may be issued from time to time and rank senior in right of payment to CAI's other unsecured debt. The indebtedness evidenced by the Senior Notes is effectively subordinated to all secured debt of CAI to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The Senior Notes Indenture requires semi-annual payments of interest on the Senior Notes at the per annum rate of 12-1/4% on each of March 15 and September 15. Proceeds of the Senior Notes offering deposited into the Senior Note Escrow at closing equaled an amount sufficient to cover such semi-annual interest payments until March 1999. The principal amount of the Senior Notes is due in full on September 15, 2002. The Senior Notes Indenture imposes certain limitations and restrictions on CAI and its restricted Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, restrictions on CAI's ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make investments, consummate certain assets sales, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, suffer to exist certain liens, engage in unrelated business and consummate mergers and/or consolidations without the prior consent of a majority in interest of the holders of the Senior Notes. In connection with CAI's obligations under the BR Agreement, CAI substantially completed the construction of digital video delivery systems in Boston, MA and Hampton Roads, VA. Through December 12, 1996, however, neither BANX Affiliate had exercised its respective options under the BR Agreement in these or any other markets contemplated by the BR Agreement. Concurrently with the construction of these systems, the environment in which the RBOCs decided to pursue a subscription video strategy was changing dramatically. During an eight month period following the September 1995 joint venture closing, (a) the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was enacted into law, permitting, among other things, RBOCs to enter into the long distance business, (b) Bell Atlantic and NYNEX announced plans to merge, and (c) cable companies acknowledged that their plans to deploy the "Information Superhighway" complete with phone service, as well as expanded cable services, were substantially behind anticipated schedules, thereby dissipating the perceived threat to the RBOCs. With these changes, CAI began to realize that Bell Atlantic/NYNEX's priorities were shifting away from subscription video, and any commitment these RBOCs had to the CAI joint venture. In response, CAI devised a plan that would allow it to re-focus its efforts and seek to sever all relationships it then had with Bell Atlantic/NYNEX. On December 12, 1996, CAI and the various BANX entities reached an agreement (the "Modification Agreement") modifying certain terms of the BR Agreement and providing CAI or its designee with the right to acquire the BANX Securities. In connection with the Modification Agreement, the average per share exercise/conversion price of the BANX Securities was reduced from $8.19 to $5.31, on full conversion and exercise. This reduction would result in the BANX Partnership having to make an additional investment in CAI of approximately $95.0 million to acquire an approximately 45% ownership interest in CAI. The Modification Agreement was subsequently amended on April 29, 1997, pursuant to Amendment No.1 to the Modification Agreement ( the "Amendment"). The Amendment represented the renegotiation of an option granted to CAI to repurchase the $100 million face amount of BANX Securities held by the BANX Partnership. The repurchase consideration contemplated by the Amendment was $40 million in cash and 100,000 shares of non-voting convertible junior preferred stock of CAI, having a liquidation preference of $30 million (the "Old Junior Preferred Stock"). The repurchase option was exercisable through February 28, 1998. As part of the Amendment, the BANX Affiliates also immediately released CAI from its obligation under the BR Agreement to make CAI's wireless MMDS spectrum available to the BANX Affiliates at a future date in Boston, MA, Pittsburgh, PA and Albany, Syracuse and Buffalo, NY. Upon a repurchase of the BANX Securities, as contemplated by the Amendment, the BR Agreement was to have lapsed in its entirety, releasing similar obligations in CAI's other markets. In connection with the execution of the Amendment, the BANX Partnership also suspended or released CAI from a number of covenant restrictions and governance rights and provided CAI with a blanket proxy on the approximately 10% interest in CS Wireless held by BANX entities. If the repurchase were consummated in accordance with the terms of the Amendment, the CS Wireless shares would have been returned to CAI without additional consideration. The parties also exchanged mutual releases and reached an agreement to share certain patent and intellectual property rights related to their digital wireless venture. On February 17, 1998, CAI consummated a series of transactions, including the purchase by CAI of the remaining interest of BANX under the BR Agreement and the acquisition of BANX's approximately 10% equity interest in CS Wireless. Under the terms of the Termination and Purchase Agreement (the "Termination Agreement"), CAI issued $7,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Secured Notes to BANX in consideration of the termination of the BR Agreement, Modification Agreement and Modification Agreement Amendment, and the transfer of 1,000,000 shares of CS Wireless common stock held by BANX. The parties exchanged general releases in connection with the transaction. As part of the transactions comprising the termination of CAI's relationship with the BANX Affiliates, Merrill Lynch Global Allocation Fund, Inc. ("MLGAF") advised CAI that it had completed the purchase from BANX of all of the BANX Securities, including $30,000,000 of BANX Term Notes, $70,000,000 of Old Senior Preferred Stock and the BANX Warrants to purchase Old Voting Preferred Stock of CAI, as well as the Secured Notes issued by CAI to BANX in connection with the Termination Agreement. On March 3, 1998, CAI exchanged the BANX Securities then held by MLGAF for a new $30 million subordinated 12% note due October 1, 2005 (the "12% Subordinated Note"). As a result of the exchange transaction, the Company (i) eliminated approximately $117 million of Old Senior Preferred Stock, accumulated preferred stock dividends thereon, and accrued interest on the BANX Term Notes, of which approximately $102 million was reclassed to paid-in capital, and (ii) recorded a $10,046,000 extraordinary gain from the early extinguishment of debt. The 12% Subordinated Note, which is a joint and several obligation of CAI and certain of the Subsidiaries, accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded semi-annually, is payable at maturity on October 1, 2005, and is expressly subordinate to the Secured Notes and Senior Notes. In conjunction with the transaction, CAI also exchanged 2,500 shares of Old Common Stock for all warrants to purchase Old Common Stock that were held by BANX and acquired by MLGAF on February 17, 1998. This Old Common Stock was issued in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and contains a legend restricting its transfer without such registration or an exemption therefrom. The issuance of this Old Common Stock to MLGAF increased the number of issued and outstanding shares to 40,543,039 at March 31, 1998. 2. Use of the MMDS Spectrum While pursuing the complete severing of its relationships with Bell Atlantic/NYNEX, CAI embarked upon a strategy of preserving its MMDS spectrum and expanding the authorized uses of such spectrum to fully realize the spectrum's technical capabilities, developing new two-way equipment and transmission technology that would enable CAI to take full advantage of expanded regulatory uses of the MMDS spectrum if and when such uses were approved by the FCC, and continuing the search for one or more Strategic Partners interested in utilizing CAI's spectrum capabilities. Through a series of demonstrations and trials, CAI has been an industry leader in its efforts to engineer and obtain regulatory authority for fixed, flexible two-way use of the MMDS spectrum for services such as data transmission and telephony. In addition to a series of specific flexible use authorizations received by CAI during the last two years, CAI has participated with the industry trade group in seeking to obtain from the FCC authority for fixed, flexible two-way use of the MMDS spectrum on an industry-wide basis. CAI expects the FCC to issue such authority during the summer of 1998. CAI has assembled one of the strongest engineering departments in the MMDS industry. CAI's engineering efforts with regard to one- and two-way MMDS transmission networks have resulted in the development of a wireless broadband network architecture designed to maximize the available MMDS capacity within a given market while providing the MMDS operator with as much flexibility as possible to offer video, voice, and data, or some combination thereof. CAI has determined that, assuming receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, it can now design and construct a wireless broadband network achieving these goals in a time period of 6-9 months at a cost of approximately $15 -$25 per home passed. As part of this architecture, CAI has reconfigured the manner in which digital video would be distributed to and within individual markets. By incorporating satellite services into the MMDS network architecture, CAI would only need to develop, construct, and staff one digital compression center, which, with the introduction of satellite services, would be capable of serving all of CAI's markets. This element of CAI's network architecture would relieve CAI from the expense associated with the construction and staffing of a digital compression center in each operating market at a cost of $6 - -$8 million per compression center. The introduction of satellite services resulted in the formation of TelQuest Satellite Services LLC ("TelQuest"), a satellite operator formed as a joint venture among CAI, CS Wireless and TelQuest Communications, Inc., a privately-held corporation controlled by Jared E. Abbruzzese, chairman and chief executive officer of CAI. TelQuest initially operated a digital compression center and uplink facility at the Loral Skynet Telemetry, Tracking and Control Center in Hawley, Pennsylvania, and is presently relocating this operation to a facility located in Atlanta, Georgia. TelQuest is currently providing pre-digitized video programming to CS Wireless customers in Dallas, TX and to CAI's Boston facility, where CAI is currently using the satellite feed for testing and demonstration purposes. CAI believes that the introduction of satellite services, in conjunction with digital MMDS facilities, will decrease the number of MMDS channels necessary to be allocated for a subscription video product, and thereby increase the number of available MMDS channels for data and telephony delivery services, when and as such services are approved by the FCC. CAI believes that expanded uses of the MMDS spectrum and enhanced network architecture must be accompanied by the development of enhanced equipment of varying capabilities. CAI has worked with several technology companies and equipment manufacturers to design and test new one- and two-way equipment for use in the delivery of video, voice, and data services via MMDS spectrum. Often starting with equipment originally designed for hard-wire or hybrid fiber-coaxial platforms, CAI's engineers and these equipment manufacturers have successfully revamped such equipment for use in an MMDS environment. Recently, one such manufacturer delivered to CAI, and CAI has deployed on a trial basis in connection with an on-site, long-term demonstration conducted by CAI for a potential Strategic Partner, first generation two-way transverters that allow a user to receive data transmissions at downstream speeds of up to 7 Mbps and upload data at 600 Kbps return capacity. CAI believes that it has broadened the availability of equipment capable of supporting alternative uses of MMDS spectrum, such as two-way data delivery services and telephony. CAI continues to believe that a Strategic Partner is necessary for the MMDS industry to fully realize the potential of this spectrum. Believing that a national-level Strategic Partner has the financial resources and infrastructure to fully utilize the MMDS spectrum for video, voice, and data transmission, CAI has aggressively sought one or more Strategic Partners since the departure of Bell Atlantic/NYNEX. To date, CAI has demonstrated its technological capabilities to several potential Strategic Partners, and is in discussions with several entities regarding a possible strategic alliance. Additionally, CAI is currently conducting an on-site trial, including the recent deployment of the two-way transverters, for a telecommunications company, providing wireless Internet and corporate intranet access for trial participants at various locations in the greater New York City area. Business discussions between CAI and these entities have been wide-ranging, and no definitive agreement has been reached with any entity at this time. Currently, in CAI's 14 primary markets, there are a total of 16,135,174 Estimated Total Service Area households, making it the largest MMDS operator in the United States based upon the number of television households. CAI had approximately 50,000 analog video subscribers as of May 31, 1998. 3. Investment in CS Wireless In addition to the MMDS assets it owns and its interest in TelQuest, CAI has a 60% interest in CS Wireless Systems, Inc. ("CS Wireless"). Pursuant to the terms of a participation agreement dated December 12, 1995 (as amended, the "Participation Agreement") between CAI, CS Wireless, and Heartland Wireless Communications, Inc. ("Heartland"), an MMDS subscription television operator of small- and medium-sized markets, CAI and Heartland agreed to contribute to CS Wireless certain wireless cable assets, including related operating liabilities, or the stock of subsidiaries owning wireless cable assets for systems located primarily in the mid- and southwestern regions of the United States. The combination of these assets into CS Wireless resulted in a company with approximately 7.7 million Estimated Total Service Area households and 56,500 analog video subscribers, as of March 31, 1996, making it one of the largest wireless cable companies in the United States (in terms of subscribers and Estimated Total Service Area households). The transaction closed on February 23, 1996 (the "CS Closing"). Immediately following the CS Closing, and after giving effect to the issuance of equity by CS Wireless in connection with the Unit Offering (defined below) and certain true-up adjustments contemplated by the Participation Agreement, the equity in CS Wireless was owned approximately 52% by CAI, approximately 37% by Heartland, and approximately 10% by affiliates of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX. The remaining 1% equity interest was sold, contemporaneously with the CS Closing, in a private placement to purchasers of an aggregate of 100,000 units (the "Unit Offering"), each consisting of (i) four $1,000 principal amount at maturity of 11d% Senior Discount Notes due 2006 and 1.1 shares of common stock of CS Wireless. The notes accrete in value for five years and cash interest is scheduled to be paid beginning in 2001. The gross proceeds of the Unit Offering to CS Wireless were approximately $230.0 million. A portion of the net proceeds of the Unit Offering was used to make a cash payment to Heartland at the CS Closing, as required under the Participation Agreement, and the remainder has been, and will continue to be, used by CS Wireless for capital expenditures required to build out its systems and add subscribers, certain formation costs, working capital, and general corporate purposes. Prior to the contributions contemplated by the Participation Agreement, CS Wireless was a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAI, operating a wireless cable system in Cleveland, Ohio. Under the Participation Agreement, CS Wireless acquired, or had contributed to it (i) the stock of subsidiaries of CAI owning wireless cable systems or channel rights, and operating wireless cable systems and (ii) wireless channel rights held by (a) CAI in Bakersfield, California, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Stockton/Modesto, California, all of which were located outside the operating territories of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX (the "CAI Properties"), and (b) Heartland in Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, Maysville and Sweet Springs, Missouri, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Salt Lake City, Utah (the "Heartland Properties"). The Participation Agreement contemplated a true-up adjustment of the amounts contributed to CS Wireless by each of CAI and Heartland based on the value of MMDS assets or channel rights or stock of entities owning such assets or rights. In connection with one aspect of the true-up, CAI's 52% interest in CS Wireless was reduced to approximately 51% and Heartland's interest was increased to approximately 39% by the issuance of additional CS Wireless equity to Heartland. In addition, as part of the series of transactions consummated by CAI and BANX during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1998, CAI received BANX's approximately 10% interest in CS Wireless, thereby increasing CAI's ownership interest in CS Wireless to approximately 60%. CAI and Heartland are also subject to a true-up adjustment in the event that the number of channels available to CS Wireless in any market contributed by a party is less than 16. The true-up adjustment for any such channel deficiency may be satisfied by the deficient party by delivering to CS Wireless either (i) cash, (ii) a 5-year promissory note, (iii) shares of CS Wireless stock, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. CAI has been notified by Heartland that Heartland believes there is a potential channel deficiency arising out of the number of channels delivered by CAI in connection with its contribution of MMDS assets relating to the Charlotte, North Carolina market. CAI believes that it has delivered 13 of the 16 required channels, and expects to be able to deliver at least three additional channels in the Charlotte market from applications currently pending at the FCC. Heartland has advised CAI that it believes that CAI has delivered only 6 channels relating to the Charlotte market. CAI has disputed Heartland's position, and is in discussions with Heartland on this issue. CAI, CS Wireless, and Heartland are also parties to a stockholders' agreement, dated as of February 23, 1996 (the "CS Stockholders' Agreement"), which provides for, among other things, a minimum permissible level of ownership of CS Wireless stock by CAI, the conditions under which CAI or Heartland may transfer all or part of their CS Wireless stock, certain rights and obligations of CAI and Heartland with respect to the composition of the board of directors of CS Wireless, and super-majority voting requirements for certain items of business of CS Wireless. CAI currently is evaluating its alternatives under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the CS Stockholders' Agreement. 4. Interim Financing The construction of the digital facilities in Boston and Norfolk/Virginia Beach required the expenditure of significant capital by CAI. Additionally, CAI's focus on expanding the regulatory landscape, designing a broadband wireless network architecture, and locating a Strategic Partner, has required capital expenditures by CAI that have exceeded revenue from analog operations since CAI's inception. To address its cash needs, CAI sought interim debt financing beginning in late 1996, and on June 6, 1997, closed a $30 million interim credit facility provided by Foothill Capital Corporation and affiliates of Canyon Capital Management, L.P. (the "Interim Lenders"). The credit facility was governed by the terms of a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1997 (the "Interim Loan Agreement"), and was comprised of $25 million of two-year term debt bearing interest at the rate of 13% per annum (the "Term Facility"), of which $10 million was made available at closing, and $5 million in revolving credit (the "Revolving Facility" and, together with the Term Facility, the "Interim Credit Facility"). The balance of the Term Facility (i.e., in excess of the $10 million made available at closing), was to be made available to CAI upon the achievement of certain agreed-upon operational benchmarks. As long as CAI was not in default of its obligations under the Interim Loan Agreement, it could elect to have one-half of the interest on the Term Facility accrue and be added to the principal amount outstanding on the Term Facility. The remaining portion of the interest on the Term Facility was payable, and was paid, monthly in arrears. The Term Facility was scheduled to mature on March 1, 1999, at which time all accrued and unpaid interest on and principal of the outstanding amount of the Term Facility was to be due and payable in full. In addition to the $10 million under the Term Facility, the Interim Lenders also made $3 million available to CAI under the Revolving Facility at the closing of the Interim Credit Facility. The remaining $2 million was to be made available to CAI upon the achievement of certain operational benchmarks. The Revolving Facility bore interest at four and three-quarters percent above the Reference Rate, as announced from time to time by Norwest Bank. Principal and interest on the Revolving Facility, which was scheduled to expire on March 1, 1999, was payable, and was paid, monthly in arrears. The entire Interim Credit Facility was collateralized by a pledge of the assets of CAI, including the stock of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, certain investments held by CAI, and a pledge of the stock of CS Wireless held by CAI. In connection with the closing of the Interim Credit Facility, CAI was to be required to effect certain corporate restructurings in an effort to enhance the Interim Lenders' collateral position. The proceeds from the Interim Credit Facility were used by CAI to continue to build-out its wireless cable business and for general working capital purposes. In addition to $1.5 million in fees payable to the Interim Lenders at the closing of the Interim Credit Facility and the fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and special FCC counsel to the Interim Lenders) incurred by the Interim Lenders in connection with the Interim Credit Facility, CAI also was required to (i) pay to the Interim Lenders an additional $1.5 million fee, evidenced by a two-year promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 14% per annum, which interest was to accrue and be payable in full upon maturity of the note, and (ii) issue to the Interim Lenders warrants (the "Foothill/Canyon Warrants") to purchase Old Common Stock at any time between the closing of the Interim Credit Facility and the fifth anniversary thereof. The holders of the Foothill/Canyon Warrants were to be entitled to purchase in the aggregate that number of shares of Old Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the maximum amount outstanding (including principal and accrued interest) on the above-referenced promissory note, divided by (y) the lowest of (A) $1.90 per share, (B) the lowest effective net price for the Old Common Stock (or its equivalent) that CAI received in connection with any new capital investment, merger, strategic partnership, joint venture or other significant corporate transaction that made available to CAI in excess of $50 million, (C) the lowest 20-day fair market value of the Old Common Stock following the consummation of a transaction of the type described in clause (B) above, and (D) the 20-day fair market value of the Old Common Stock immediately following confirmation of a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Foothill/ Canyon Warrants contained certain anti-dilution provisions and registration rights, and were allocated among the Interim Lenders. On November 25, 1997, CAI repaid all amounts outstanding and owing to the Interim Lenders out of the proceeds of the sale by CAI and certain Subsidiaries of $25 million principal amount of 13% Senior Secured Notes, due February 20, 1998 (the "Secured Notes"), to MLGAF, the holder of approximately $94 million in face amount of CAI's Senior Notes. The then-outstanding amount under the Interim Credit Facility was approximately $17.3 million, consisting of $15.329 million in principal, $1.575 million in fees, and $350,000 in interest on the principal and fees. The repayment of the Interim Credit Facility in November 1997 represented the early termination of the Interim Credit Facility. Prior to its termination and repayment in full, CAI executed a series of continuing waiver agreements, which waived compliance by CAI with certain post-closing requirements, increased the interest rates payable on the obligations outstanding under the Interim Credit Facility, and imposed additional and/or modified existing covenants relating to various items, including sales of non-core assets, certain fundamental changes to CAI and CAI's ability to incur additional indebtedness. All of the waivers executed and delivered by CAI to the Interim Lenders contained a general release of the Interim Lenders. A final general release was required of and delivered by CAI in connection with receipt of the pay-off letter issued by the Interim Lenders in connection with the repayment of all obligations under the Interim Credit Facility. The early termination of the Interim Credit Facility resulted in CAI recording a third quarter charge of approximately $4.7 million, representing the costs associated with the Interim Credit Facility that CAI was originally amortizing over the two-year term of such facility. CAI used the remaining proceeds from the issuance and sale to MLGAF of Secured Notes, approximately $7,300,000, net of expenses associated with this transaction, for working capital purposes and build-out of CAI's wireless cable business. On January 26, 1998, CAI issued and sold an additional $2,000,000 of Secured Notes to MLGAF, and on February 17, 1998, CAI issued and sold an additional $18,000,000 of Secured Notes in connection with the consummation of a series of transactions by CAI, MLGAF and the BANX Affiliates. The Secured Notes, which are short term obligations of CAI (currently maturing on June 30, 1998), were issued and sold pursuant to the terms of a Note Purchase Agreement between CAI and certain of the Subsidiaries and MLGAF (as amended from time to time, the "Note Purchase Agreement"). Interest accruing at the rate of 13% per annum on the Secured Notes is payable at maturity. In addition to fees and expenses associated with the issuance and sale of the Secured Notes, CAI is required to pay a $730,000 commitment fee to MLGAF, which is also due at maturity. As collateral for the Secured Notes, CAI granted a blanket lien on all of its assets, including the stock of substantially all of the Subsidiaries, as well as a pledge of its 60% interest in CS Wireless and 25% interest in TelQuest and certain accounts receivable held by CAI. The Note Purchase Agreement contains covenants that are usual and customary for transactions of this type, including a series of negative covenants intended to preserve the value of the collateral pledged by CAI for the benefit of MLGAF. 5. The Securities Action CAI has been named in six lawsuits alleging various violations of the federal securities laws filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York. The actions were consolidated into one lawsuit entitled In Re CAI Wireless Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation (96-CV-1857) (the "Securities Action"), which is currently pending in the Northern District of New York. The amended, consolidated complaint, which names the Company, Jared E. Abbruzzese, chairman and chief executive officer of CAI, John J. Prisco, president, chief operating officer and a director of CAI, and Alan Sonnenberg, the former president of CAI and a former member of its Board of Directors, as defendants, alleges a variety of violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the Federal securities laws by CAI arising out of its alleged disclosure (or alleged omission from disclosure) regarding its Internet and other flexible use of MMDS spectrum, as well as its business relationship with Bell Atlantic and NYNEX. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act, during the specified Class Period (May 23, 1996 through December 6, 1996). CAI and the individual defendants are contesting the Securities Action vigorously at this time, believe it is entirely without merit, and do not believe that it will have a material adverse effect on CAI's earnings, financial condition, or liquidity. CAI has notified the carrier of its directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, which is intended to cover not only CAI's officers and directors, but also the Company itself, for liability on account of claims such as those made in the Securities Action. The policy covers up to $5 million of any covered liability, subject to a retention amount of $500,000. The Securities Action is still in its preliminary stages. A scheduling conference was held on June 3, 1997, at which the briefing schedule for defendants' motion to dismiss was agreed upon among the parties. The defendants' motion to dismiss was heard by the Northern District of New York on October 17, 1997, and is still pending. While the motion is pending, all other deadlines affecting motions and discovery have been postponed. Under the Plan, all Claims against CAI arising under, out of, or related to the Securities Action are classified as Class CAI-7.02 Equity Securities Claims, the holders of which are not entitled to receive or retain any property on account of such Claims. See Section VIII.C -- "Summary of the Plan -- Certain Matters Regarding Classification And Treatment Of Claims And Interests." D. Recent Developments 1. Extension of Maturity of Secured Notes On June 1, 1998, the Companies announced an extension until June 15, 1998 of the maturity of $45,000,000 in Secured Notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement and held by MLGAF. Since that time, the Companies have announced a further extension of the maturity of the Secured Notes through June 30, 1998. The Company has requested that the maturity of the Secured Notes be extended to the Petition Date. If the Chapter 11 Case is commenced, all amounts outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement as of the Petition Date will be converted into and deemed to be outstanding obligations under the proposed DIP Facility. See Section X.A -- "Financing During and After the Chapter 11 Case -- The DIP Facility". 2. De-listing by Nasdaq of Old Common Stock On January 8, 1998, the Old Common Stock was removed from the Nasdaq National Market ("NNM") and listed for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market SM. The removal was caused by CAI's failure to meet the net tangible asset listing requirement imposed by Nasdaq upon NNM-listed companies. As a condition to listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market SM, CAI was required to maintain compliance with a $1.00 per share bid price for a defined interim period. Effective January 13, 1998, as a result of failing to maintain the $1.00 per share bid price, the Old Common Stock was de-listed from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market SM. The Old Common Stock currently trades on the Electronic Bulletin Board system under the CAWS symbol. 3. Attempts to Identify Strategic Partner CAI has sought to identify one or more Strategic Partners that would be willing to (a) enter into a business relationship with CAI pursuant to which CAI would provide video, voice and/or data services to such Strategic Partner's customers in CAI's markets or (b) provide financing sufficient to permit CAI to implement its business plan. CAI has demonstrated its technological capabilities for each of video, voice and data to several potential Strategic Partners. In addition to a variety of demonstrations, CAI has been conducting an on-site trial for a telecommunications company, providing transport services for Internet access and such company's corporate intranet, which services recently have included two-way data transmission with the deployment of first generation transverters developed by CAI and a high-technology equipment manufacturer. Business discussions between CAI and these entities have been wide ranging and continue; however, no definitive agreement has been reached with any entity at this time. 4. Negotiations with Unofficial Noteholders' Committee During the Spring of 1998, CAI engaged in informal discussions with representatives of MLGAF with respect to CAI's prospects and various restructuring alternatives. During May 1998, CAI entered into confidentiality agreements with certain other large holders of Senior Notes with a view to engaging in discussions relating to restructuring alternatives. Noteholders, including MLGAF, who collectively hold or manage approximately 73% of the outstanding Senior Notes, formed the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee and retained Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP as counsel and Dabney Flanigan, LLC as financial advisor. CAI has agreed to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP and fees of $200,000 for the 60-day period commencing June 5, 1998 and $100,000 per month thereafter to Dabney Flanigan, LLC in connection with the restructuring. Although the Plan and various related matters referred to in this Disclosure Statement have been reviewed by and discussed with the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee, MLGAF, and their respective representatives, and reflect to some extent the views of those parties, the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee has not approved or endorsed the Plan or recommended that other holders of Senior Notes vote to accept the Plan. E. PCT 1. Acquisition by CAI of ACS Enterprises, Inc. PCT is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of CAI, and is the successor by merger to ACS Home Systems, Inc., formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAI. PCT and ACS Home Systems, Inc. were originally wholly-owned subsidiaries of ACS Enterprises, Inc. ("ACS"), a publicly-held MMDS operator with systems in Philadelphia, PA, Cleveland, OH, and Bakersfield, CA. On September 29, 1995, CAI acquired ACS in a merger transaction, pursuant to which ACS was merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAI and the holders of ACS common stock immediately prior to the merger received a combination of Old Common Stock and cash. Following the acquisition, CAI merged ACS with and into CAI; thereupon PCT and ACS Home Systems, Inc. became wholly-owned, direct subsidiaries of CAI. On March 29, 1996, CAI caused the merger of ACS Home Systems, Inc. with and into PCT, then known as Apartment Cable Systems, Inc. Simultaneous with the merger, Apartment Cable Systems, Inc. changed its name to Philadelphia Choice Television, Inc. On May 5, 1997, PCT, then a Pennsylvania corporation, reincorporated in the State of Delaware. PCT has authorized 30 shares of Class A voting common stock, no par value, and 39,970 shares of Class B non-voting common stock, no par value, all of which are issued and held by CAI. 2. Operations of PCT PCT operates CAI' s largest analog subscription video system (in terms of subscribers), covering the greater Philadelphia area. Located at 2510 Metropolitan Avenue, Trevose, PA, PCT offers a 30 to 35 channel video product to single family and multi-dwelling units and commercial establishments. As of May 31, 1998, PCT had approximately 31,100 analog video subscribers. PCT leases MMDS spectrum sufficient to provide subscribers with its channel line-up from PC License, Inc., a wholly-owned Subsidiary of CAI, which holds MMDS spectrum-type assets relating to the Philadelphia area. Video programming is obtained by PCT either through the participation by CAI and its Subsidiaries, including PCT, in Wireless Enterprises, L.L.C., a joint venture formed by certain MMDS operators to assemble programming, or through direct contractual arrangements with programmers whose programs are not available through Wireless Enterprises, L.L.C. In addition to the analog video service, PCT also maintains a customer service call center for the benefit of CAI's Philadelphia, New York City and Washington systems. The call center, which, as a result of cost-cutting measures implemented by CAI, recently decreased the available hours per day of its customer service representatives, handles all customer service-related phone calls, including installation requests, pay-per-view orders, and service call and disconnect orders. CAI intends for PCT to continue to operate the analog subscription video business in the Philadelphia area after the sale of the MDU Assets to OnePoint. See Section VIII.D.4 -- "Summary of the Plan -- Summary of Other Provisions of the Plan -- Sale Of MDU Assets By PCT." Upon consummation of the sale, PCT will focus its efforts on maintaining its current single family and commercial unit subscriber base. It will not seek to compete, and indeed will be prohibited pursuant to the purchase and sale agreements relating to the sale of the MDU Assets, from competing against OnePoint at any of the transferred MDUs for any video, voice, or data service. F. Regulation In The Wireless Industry 1. General The wireless cable industry is subject to regulation by the FCC pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act"). The Communications Act empowers the FCC, among other things, to issue, revoke, modify and renew licenses within the spectrum available to wireless cable; to approve the assignment and/or transfer of control of such licenses; to approve the location of wireless cable system headends; to regulate the kind, configuration and operation of equipment used by wireless cable systems; and to impose certain equal employment opportunity and other obligations and reporting requirements on wireless cable channel license holders and operators. The FCC has determined that wireless cable systems are not "cable systems" for purposes of the Communications Act. Accordingly, a wireless cable system does not require a local franchise and is subject to fewer local regulations than a hard-wire cable system. Moreover, all transmission and reception equipment for a wireless cable system can be located on private property; hence, there is no need to make use of utility poles or dedicated easements or other public rights of way. Although wireless cable operators typically have to lease from third parties the right to use a certain portion of the channels utilized in any given system, unlike hard-wire cable operators they do not have to apply for and be awarded a local franchise or pay local franchise fees. Recently, legislation has been introduced in some states, including Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, to authorize state and local authorities to impose on all video program distributors (including wireless cable operators) a tax on the distributors' gross receipts comparable to the franchise fees cable operators pay. Similar legislation might be introduced in several other states. While the proposals vary among states, the bills all would require, if passed, as much as 5% of gross receipts to be paid by wireless distributors to local authorities. Efforts are underway by the industry trade association to preempt such state taxes through federal legislation. In addition, the industry is opposing the state bills as they are introduced, and, in Virginia and Maryland, it has succeeded in either blocking the legislation or being exempted from the video tax that was eventually enacted into law. However, it is not possible to predict whether new state laws will be enacted which impose new taxes on wireless cable operators. The FCC licenses and regulates the use of channels by license holders and system operators. In the 50 largest markets, 33 6-MHz channels are available for wireless cable delivery services (in addition to any local broadcast television channels that can be offered to subscribers via an off-air antenna). In each geographic service area of all other markets, 32 6-MHz channels are available for wireless cable (in addition to any local broadcast television channels that can be offered to subscribers via an off-air antenna). Except in limited circumstances, 20 wireless cable channels in each of these geographic service areas are generally licensed only to qualified non-profit educational organizations (commonly referred to as ITFS channels). In general, each of these channels must be used a minimum of 20 hours per week per channel for instructional programming. The remaining "excess air time" on an ITFS channel may be leased to wireless cable operators for commercial use, without further restrictions (other than the right of the ITFS license holder, at its option, to recapture up to an additional 20 hours of air time per week for educational programming). Lessees of ITFS' "excess air time," including CAI, generally have the right to transmit to their customers the educational programming provided by the lessor at no incremental cost. The FCC's rules permit ITFS license holders to consolidate their educational programming on one or more of their ITFS channels, thereby providing wireless cable operators leasing such channels, including CAI, greater flexibility in their use of ITFS channels. The remaining 13 channels available in most of CAI's operating and targeted markets are made available by the FCC for full-time usage without programming restrictions. 2. Licensing Procedures The actual number of wireless cable channels available for licensing in any market is determined by the FCC's interference protection and channel allocation rules. The FCC awards ITFS and MMDS licenses based upon applications demonstrating that the applicant is legally, financially and technically qualified to hold the license and that the operation of the proposed station will not cause harmful interference to other stations or proposed stations entitled to interference protection. During the year ended March 31, 1996, CAI participated in the FCC's MMDS Spectrum auction (the "FCC Auction") for awarding available commercial wireless spectrum in 493 markets (the "Auction Markets") throughout the United States, identified as Basic Trading Areas in accordance with material copyrighted by Rand McNally & Company. The winner of an Auction Market has the right to apply for the available MMDS frequencies throughout the Auction Market, consistent with certain specified interference criteria that protect existing ITFS and MMDS channels. Existing ITFS and MMDS channel right holders also must protect the Auction Market winner's spectrum from power increases, tower relocations, or other changes to their stations. CAI was the successful bidder for 32 Auction Markets, costing CAI a total of $48.8 million. Pursuant to an agreement with CS Wireless, CAI has transferred five Auction Markets located in CS Wireless' operating regions and for which CAI was the successful bidder, costing an aggregate of $12.6 million, to CS Wireless at cost, and will transfer two additional Auction Markets located in CS Wireless' operating regions and for which CAI was the successful bidder upon the granting of such Auction Market awards by the FCC. For each of the Auction Markets in which CAI was the successful bidder, CAI was required to submit the requisite FCC applications and make a down-payment (20% of such successful bid offset by amounts previously paid) within five business days of the announcement by public notice of the successful bid. When the authorization for an Auction Market is ready to be issued by the FCC, the FCC will release a public notice to that effect. Within 5 business days of such public notice, the successful bidder is required to remit the balance of its bid to the FCC, whereupon the Auction Market authorization will be issued by the FCC. As of March 31, 1998, authorizations for all but two Auction Markets for which CAI was the successful bidder (excluding those markets that are required to be conveyed at cost to CS Wireless) have been issued by the FCC and paid for by CAI. Authorizations for the remaining two Auction Markets are expected to be issued during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999, and payment, in the aggregate amount of $1.1 million for such remaining Auction Markets, will be due upon such issuance. In February 1995, the FCC amended its rules and established "windows" for the filing of new ITFS applications or major modifications to authorized ITFS facilities. The first filing "window" was October 16-20, 1995. (CAI supported a number of ITFS new station and major modification applications.) Where two or more ITFS applicants file applications for the same channels and the proposed facilities could not be operated without impermissible interference, the FCC employs a set of comparative criteria to select from among the competing applicants. More recently, the FCC commenced a rulemaking proceeding that contemplates conducting auctions where two or more ITFS applicants file competing applications. That rulemaking proceeding remains pending, and it is uncertain whether the FCC will conduct auctions or maintain the existing comparative selection process. Construction of ITFS stations generally must be completed within 18 months of the date of grant of the authorization. If construction of MMDS or ITFS stations is not completed within the authorized construction period, the licensee must file an application with the FCC seeking additional time to construct the station and demonstrate therein compliance with certain FCC standards. If the extension application is not filed or is not granted, the license will be deemed forfeited. ITFS and MMDS licenses generally have terms of 10 years. Licenses must be renewed thereafter, and may be revoked for cause in a manner similar to other FCC licenses. FCC rules prohibit the sale for profit of a conditional MMDS license or a controlling interest in the conditional licensee prior to construction of the station or, in certain circumstances, prior to the completion of one year of operation. However, the FCC does permit the leasing of 100% of an MMDS licensee's spectrum to a wireless cable operator and the granting of options to purchase a controlling interest in a license even before such holding period has lapsed. Wireless cable transmissions are subject to FCC regulations governing interference and reception quality. These regulations specify important signal characteristics such as modulation (i.e., AM/FM) or encoding formats (analog or digital). Until recently, FCC regulations required wireless cable systems to transmit only analog signals and those regulations needed to be modified, either by rulemaking or by individual application, to permit the use of digital transmissions. CAI was a party to a petition for declaratory ruling filed in July 1995 seeking adoption of interim regulations authorizing digital transmission. This petition was granted on July 9, 1996, and allows wireless license holders to operate digitally under current FCC interference rules. The license holder is, however, required to file for digital authorization. It is likely that, in the longer term, the FCC will consider adopting both new technical and service rules tailored to digital operations. The service rules could modify the respective rights and obligations of the ITFS lessors and their commercial lessees of "excess air time" in light of the increased capacity that would result from digital compression. Even if the FCC does adopt new service rules governing the allocation of "excess air time" in a digital environment, it is anticipated that there would be a dramatic increase in the number of channels that will be available to CAI following the conversion to digital transmission. CAI demonstrated transmission of digital satellite television programming and digital local broadcast television signals in its Rochester, NY market in June 1996, and believes that the necessary FCC approvals will be obtained to permit use of digital compression by the time it becomes commercially available on a wide-spread basis; however, there can be no assurance that these approvals will be forthcoming or timely. In addition, such modifications filed with the FCC after the FCC Auction will be subject to the interference protection rights of adjacent FCC Auction winners. The FCC also regulates transmitter locations and signal strength. The operation of a wireless cable television system requires the co-location of a commercially viable number of MMDS channels and operations with similar transmission characteristics (such as power and polarity). In order to commence the operations of certain of CAI's markets, applications have been or will be filed with the FCC to relocate and modify existing transmission facilities. Under current FCC regulations, a wireless cable operator generally may serve subscribers anywhere within the line of sight ("LOS") of its transmission facility, provided that the signal complies with FCC interference standards. Under rules adopted by the FCC on June 15, 1995 and effective as of September 15, 1995, an MMDS channel license holder generally has a protected service area of 35 miles around its transmitter site. In launching or upgrading a system, CAI may wish to relocate its transmission facility or increase its height or power. If such changes cause CAI's signal to violate interference standards with respect to the protected service area of other wireless license holders, CAI would be required to obtain the consent of such other license holders; however, there can be no assurance that such consents would be received. 3. Change in Control Issues Under federal law, the FCC must grant prior approval to any assignment or transfer of control involving an entity that holds an FCC license. The governing statute and the FCC's rules distinguish between minor and major changes of control, and the FCC thus has two different processes tailored to fit the extent to which the licensed entity undergoes changes: (a) a "short form" or pro forma change of control process that takes approximately two weeks from filing to grant, for use when, among other things, a licensed entity files a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) a "long form" change of control process that generally takes a minimum of two to three months, for use when, among other things, a licensed entity proposes to undergo a permanent change in the ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of its voting securities. The short form application generally should be filed within one week of the filing of a Chapter 11 petition. The application does not require public notice. The long form application generally should be filed as soon as the composition of the licensed entity's post-confirmation voting securities ownership can be determined with reasonable certainty. Once filed, there is a thirty-day public notice period, during which time interested parties may file comments challenging the FCC's proposed grant of approval to the application. There are relatively few bases upon which an interested party can successfully challenge an application of this nature. Generally, other than determining that the prospective owners of the licensed entity are citizens of the United States and do not hold significant interests in hard-wire cable companies whose franchises overlap with the licensed entity's areas of operation, the FCC will not perform an extensive analysis of the identity and characteristics of the proposed assignees or transferees of the entity's voting securities. Thus, absent a challenge, a long form application generally will be granted within approximately two to three months. A challenge would extend the grant period by another two to three months, although predictions as to when the FCC will dispose of a challenge are inherently unpredictable. Because the Restructuring of CAI's capital structure contemplated by the Plan would involve the transfer of ownership of more than 50% of CAI's voting securities, CAI and CS Wireless will be required to file long form change in control applications. Due to the inherent uncertainties in the application and notice process (e.g., a challenge to CAI's and/or CS Wireless' applications), there can be no assurance that CAI's and/or CS Wireless' applications will be granted within two to three months of their filing, or even at all. 4. Interference Issues Interference from other wireless cable systems can limit the ability of a wireless cable system to serve any particular site. In licensing ITFS and MMDS systems, a primary concern of the FCC is avoiding situations where proposed stations are predicted to cause interference with the reception of previously authorized or proposed stations. Pursuant to FCC rules, a wireless cable system is generally protected from interference within a radius of 35 miles of the transmission site. In addition, modification and new station applications submitted after the FCC Auction will be required to protect FCC Auction winners from interference. The FCC's interference protection standards may make one or more of these proposed modifications or new grants unavailable. In such event, it may be necessary to negotiate interference agreements with the licensees of the systems which would otherwise block such modifications or grants. There can be no assurance that CAI will be able to negotiate necessary interference agreements on terms acceptable to CAI. In the event CAI cannot obtain interference agreements required to implement CAI's plans for a market, CAI may have to curtail or modify operations in that market, utilize a less optimal tower location, or reduce the height or power of the transmission facility, any of which could have a material adverse effect on CAI's growth in that market. In addition, while CAI's leases with ITFS and MMDS licensees require their cooperation, it is possible that one or more of CAI's channel lessors may hinder or delay CAI's efforts to use the channels in accordance with CAI's plans for the particular market. 5. Certain Legislation Affecting the Wireless Cable Industry (a) The 1992 Cable Act On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the 1992 Cable Act, which compels the FCC to, among other things, (i) adopt comprehensive federal standards for the local regulation of certain rates charged by hard-wire cable operators, (ii) impose customer service standards on hard-wire cable operators, (iii) govern carriage of certain broadcast signals by all multi-channel video providers, and (iv) compel non-discriminatory access to programming owned or controlled by vertically-integrated cable operators. The rate regulations adopted by the FCC do not regulate cable rates once other multi-channel video providers serve, in the aggregate, at least 15% of the households within the cable franchise area. The customer service rules adopted by the FCC establish certain minimum standards to be maintained by traditional hard-wire cable operators. These standards include prompt responses to customer telephone inquiries, reliable and timely installations and repairs, and readily understandable billing practices. These rules do not apply to wireless cable operators, although CAI believes that it provides and will continue to provide customer service superior to its hard-wire cable competitors. Under the retransmission consent provisions of the 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's implementing regulations, all multi-channel video providers (including both hard-wire and wireless cable) seeking to retransmit certain commercial broadcast signals must first obtain the permission of the broadcast station. Hard-wire cable systems, but not wireless cable systems, are required under the 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's "must carry" rules to retransmit a specified number of local commercial television or qualified low power television signals. See Section II.F.7 -- "General Information -- Regulation in the Wireless Industry -- Retransmission Consent." The 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's implementing regulations impose limits on exclusive programming contracts and prohibit programmers in which a cable operator has an attributable interest from discriminating against cable competitors with respect to the price, terms and conditions of programming. Certain provisions of the 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's implementing regulations have been challenged in the courts and before the FCC. Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), Congress has directed the FCC to eliminate cable rate regulations for "small systems," as defined in the 1996 Act, and for large systems under certain prescribed circumstances, and for all cable systems effective three years after enactment of the 1996 Act. While current FCC regulations are intended to promote the development of a competitive subscription television industry, the rules and regulations affecting the wireless cable industry may change, and any future changes in FCC rules, regulations, policies and procedures could have a material adverse effect on CAI. In addition, a number of legal challenges to the 1992 Cable Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder have been filed, both in the courts and before the FCC. These challenges, if successful, could result in increases in CAI's operating costs and otherwise have a material adverse effect on CAI. CAI's costs to acquire satellite-delivered programming may be affected by the outcome of those challenges. Other aspects of the 1992 Cable Act that have been challenged, the outcome of which could adversely affect CAI, include the 1992 Cable Act's provisions governing rate regulation to be met by traditional hard-wire cable companies. The 1992 Cable Act empowered the FCC to regulate the basic subscription rates charged by traditional hard-wire cable operators. The FCC recently issued rules requiring such cable operators, under certain circumstances, to reduce the rates charged for non-premium services by as much as 17%. Should these regulations withstand court and regulatory challenges, the extent to which wireless cable operators may continue to maintain a price advantage over traditional hard-wire cable operators could be diminished. On the other hand, continued strict rate regulation of cable rates would tend to impede the ability of hard-wire cable operators to upgrade their cable plant and gain a competitive advantage over wireless cable. (b) The 1996 Act The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), enacted in February 1996, could have a material impact on the MMDS industry and the competitive environment in which CAI operates. The 1996 Act has and will continue to result in comprehensive changes to the regulatory environment for the telecommunications industry as a whole. The legislation, among other things, substantially reduced regulatory authority over cable rates. Another provision of the 1996 Act afforded hard-wire cable operators greater flexibility to offer lower rates to certain of its subscribers, and would permits cable operators to offer discounts on hard-wire cable service to CAI's subscribers or prospective subscribers. The legislation also permits telephone companies to enter the video distribution business, subject to certain conditions. The entry of telephone companies into the video distribution business, with greater access to capital and other resources, could provide significant competition to the companies in the MMDS industry, including CAI. In addition, the legislation afforded relief to direct broadcast satellite ("DBS") providers by exempting such providers from local restrictions on reception antennas and preempting the authority of local governments to impose certain taxes. CAI cannot predict the substance of future rules and policies to be adopted by the FCC in implementing the provisions of the legislation. 6. Copyright Under the federal copyright laws, permission from the copyright holder generally must be secured before a video program may be retransmitted. Under Section 111 of the Copyright Act, certain "cable systems" are entitled to engage in the secondary transmission of programming without the prior permission of the holders of copyrights in the programming. In order to do so, a cable system must secure a compulsory copyright license. Such a license may be obtained upon the filing of certain reports with and the payment of certain fees to the U.S. Copyright Office. In 1994, Congress enacted the Satellite Home Viewers Act of 1994 which enables operators of wireless cable television systems to rely on the cable compulsory license under Section 111 of the Copyright Act. For the year ended March 31, 1998, CAI paid approximately $180,000 in copyright fees. 7. Retransmission Consent Under the retransmission consent provisions of the 1992 Cable Act, wireless and hard-wire cable operators seeking to retransmit certain commercial television broadcast signals must first obtain the permission of the broadcast station in order to retransmit their signal. However, wireless cable systems, unlike hard-wire cable systems, are not required under the FCC's "must carry" rules to retransmit a specified number of local commercial television or qualified low power television signals. Although there can be no assurances that CAI will be able to obtain requisite broadcaster consents, CAI believes in most cases it will be able to do so for little or no additional cost. In addition to regulation by the FCC, MMDS operators are subject to regulations by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") with respect to construction of transmission towers and to certain local zoning regulations affecting construction of towers and other facilities. There also may be restrictions imposed by local authorities, neighborhood associations and other similar organizations limiting the use of certain types of reception equipment used by CAI. Future changes in the foregoing regulations or any other regulations applicable to CAI could have a material adverse effect on CAI's results of operations and financial condition. Certain states have legislated that each resident of a Multiple Dwelling Unit ("MDU") should not be denied access to programming provided by franchised cable systems, notwithstanding the fact that the MDU entered into an exclusive agreement with a non-franchised video program distributor. States with such "mandatory access" laws where CAI provides MMDS service include Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. In several district courts, mandatory access laws have been held unconstitutional. Such laws could increase the competition for subscribers in MDUs. There may also be restrictions imposed by local authorities. There can be no assurance that CAI will not be required to incur additional costs in complying with such regulations or restrictions. Due to the regulated nature of the subscription television industry, CAI 's growth and operations may be adversely impacted by the adoption of new, or changes to existing, laws or regulations or the interpretations thereof. G. Purposes And Effects Of The Plan The primary purposes of the Plan and the Restructuring are to reduce CAI's debt service requirements and overall level of indebtedness, including the principal amount thereof, to realign its capital structure, and to provide CAI with greater liquidity and thereby increase the likelihood that it will survive in a manner that will permit it to attract and retain a Strategic Partner. If consummated, the Restructuring would reduce the principal amount of CAI's indebtedness, significantly lessen CAI's debt service requirements, and transfer ownership of CAI from its present Equity Security holders primarily to the present holders of Senior Notes, with more limited equity participation by the holders of Subordinated Notes. In addition, the Plan will provide PCT with the most efficient means of distributing the proceeds of the expected sale of certain non-essential assets, i.e., the MDU Assets, pursuant to Section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Restructuring will strengthen CAI's balance sheet primarily by substantially reducing CAI's overall level of indebtedness, which will permit it to borrow on a senior secured basis sufficient cash to survive until it is able to attract an appropriate Strategic Partner. As of March 31, 1998, CAI had a shareholders' deficit of approximately $27,560,980. On a pro forma basis, as of March 31, 1998, after giving effect to the Plan, CAI's shareholders' equity is estimated to be approximately $158.5 million. TRADE CREDITORS ARE INTENDED TO BE UNAFFECTED BY THE PLAN AND RESTRUCTURING, AND THE COMPANIES EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO PAY ALL TRADE CREDITORS WHO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE NORMAL TRADE CREDIT TERMS IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS, SUBJECT TO ANY REQUIRED BANKRUPTCY COURT APPROVAL. III. BUSINESS PLANS FOR THE REORGANIZED COMPANIES A. Business And Operating Strategies Of CAI 1. General CAI, since its formation, has focused on the development and operation of MMDS subscription television systems concentrated in major metropolitan areas located in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. With the suspension of the BR Agreement and the receipt of regulatory approvals not previously sought by MMDS operators or granted by the FCC, CAI has endeavored to develop the full capabilities of its MMDS spectrum in addition to subscription television. CAI believes that its MMDS spectrum can be utilized as the transport system for fixed, flexible two-way uses that eventually could be combined into a wireless broadband network ("WBN"). Although CAI recognizes that there are significant regulatory, technological and financial issues surrounding the development of such a system in any of CAI's markets, CAI believes that such systems can be deployed in a reasonable manner to develop a commercially-viable means of delivering video, voice and data transmission services. CAI has been aggressively seeking one or more Strategic Partners interested in developing and utilizing wireless broadband networks. The Company has demonstrated, and continues to demonstrate, its technological capabilities for each of video, voice and data to several potential Strategic Partners. In addition to a variety of demonstrations, the Company has been conducting an on-site trial for one telecommunications company providing trial participants with Internet access and corporate intranet access services, which services have recently included two-way data transmission at transmission speeds of up to 7 Mbps for downstream transmissions and 600 Kbps return capacity. The two-way transmission services are provided using first-generation developed by a high technology equipment manufacturer in conjunction with CAI engineers, and manufactured specifically for MMDS spectrum. Business discussions between CAI and these entities have been wide ranging, and no definitive agreement has been reached with any entity at this time. CAI has assembled significant spectrum rights in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. CAI is focused on preserving these substantial channel rights in anticipation of developing digital systems that will allow CAI to utilize higher output power and compression technologies to increase channel capacity. CAI began to acquire its spectrum capacity in preparation for its obligations under the BR Agreement, which required CAI to deliver a minimum number of channels in each of the markets subject to the BR Agreement. With the termination of the BANX rights, CAI has continued to implement a preservation strategy that will allow CAI to utilize its significant spectrum capacity for the delivery of video, voice and data services, or various combinations thereof, subject to regulatory approval, as necessary for one or more Strategic Partners. This preservation strategy includes the continued build-out of the transmission facilities in conformity with the FCC license perfection regulations, as well as the re-negotiation of spectrum leases when and as such leases mature. Although CAI believes that it will be possible to offer all three services in any given market once regulatory approval for fixed, flexible two-way use of the MMDS spectrum is obtained for such market, the allocation of channels among the various services is expected to be driven by the needs of a Strategic Partner, whose needs, presumably, will be driven by consumer demand for such services in CAI's markets. Not all services may be offered in all markets, and there can be no assurance that CAI will be able to locate one or more Strategic Partners interested in utilizing CAI's spectrum for such services. CAI's initial efforts with respect to the development of fixed, flexible two-way use of the MMDS spectrum have been limited primarily to its Boston and greater New York City markets and have been limited to the conduct of tests. CAI believes that fixed, flexible two-way use of the MMDS spectrum offers a significantly enhanced service capability and would present new opportunities for CAI and other MMDS operators. On October 10, 1997, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") with respect to fixed, flexible two-way wireless transmissions for MMDS and ITFS licensees. CAI believes that the FCC has acknowledged that two-way use of MMDS spectrum is permitted, and that the focus of the NPRM is on the technical and engineering parameters that must be met in order for MMDS operators to use their spectrum in a coordinated two-way environment. Comments on the NPRM were due at the FCC by January 8, 1998 and reply comments were submitted by February 9, 1998. The NPRM is consistent with CAI's strategy of expanding the use of MMDS spectrum beyond analog video services to a full complement of telecommunications services including two-way data transmission and telephony services. CAI believes that the proposed rules, if adopted, would streamline the process by which CAI could apply for two-way authority for its MMDS spectrum and increase its opportunities to implement this strategy, and in turn help CAI to meet the current and perceived future competition and, in relation to obtaining a new Strategic Partner, show the flexibility and increased value of CAI's MMDS spectrum. Prior to and during the pendency of the NPRM process, CAI has received from the FCC authorizations permitting it to develop two-way, fixed flexible uses of its MMDS spectrum in specified CAI markets for specific customer locations. CAI has applied for, and received from the FCC, a permanent authorization for fixed, flexible two-way use of five of its MMDS channels for 16 customer sites located in and around CAI's Boston market. In response to another application, CAI received FCC authorization to use 10 MHz of MMDS spectrum for two-way transmissions to and from customer locations located throughout the greater Boston metropolitan area. The applications contemplated that the customer locations would be served by seven strategically located cell sites, three of which were previously authorized, and four of which need further FCC authorization, that would transmit and collect information to and from the customer locations. CAI believes that two-way, fixed flexible use of its MMDS spectrum should include telephony delivery services. CAI believes that the combination of digital compression, fiber loop and cellular technologies can be integrated into the MMDS network architecture, resulting in a single wireless platform capable of delivering a wide range of services, including telephony delivery services. Adaptation of newly available, but as of yet commercially untested, technologies has been explored by CAI, with the intention of assessing Broadband MMDS spectrum's ability to simultaneously provide a combination of video, voice and data delivery services. CAI believes that an MMDS system having one main transmitter and multiple booster sites can be designed using standard cellular network design principles to produce a relatively low-cost telephony delivery platform. CAI has commenced preliminary testing and has taken initial steps in furtherance of developing a telephony application for its MMDS spectrum. Although CAI believes that an MMDS system can be designed to provide telephony delivery services, there can be no assurance that such a system could be designed, or that CAI would be capable of designing and constructing such a system. Furthermore, in the event that such a system could be designed, there can be no assurance that CAI would receive the requisite regulatory approval to offer a telephony delivery service, that CAI would have the financial resources, alone or in conjunction with a Strategic Partner, necessary to design and construct a telephony delivery service in one or more of its markets, or that such service, if it was designed and constructed by CAI in one or more markets, could be successfully deployed in a commercially successful manner. 2. Wireless Broadband Network Subject to receipt of regulatory approval for fixed, flexible use of its MMDS spectrum and successful testing, the successful deployment of digital video, one- and two-way data transmission and telephony delivery services utilizing the MMDS platform and sufficient capital resources, CAI intends to launch a wireless broadband network (the "WBN"). CAI believes that this network would be able to provide quick and relatively inexpensive household coverage on a broad scale. CAI believes that the concept of a WBN will enhance CAI's ability to attract one or more Strategic Partners by giving such partners the ability to provide competitive access products over CAI's MMDS spectrum. CAI also believes that its network design will be capable of providing a combination of analog and/or digital video services for residential, as well as for corporate and institutional/instructional subscribers, bundled with high speed Internet and intranet access services, and telephony delivery services. CAI expects to be able to alter the channel allocation among the various services depending on the needs of the Strategic Partner and consumer demand, thereby increasing the potential to derive multiple revenue streams from each system. CAI has not yet implemented a WBN system in any of its markets. CAI believes that the various regulatory approvals it has received and the joint development projects with which it is involved will enable CAI to assess the viability of broadband, large-scale systems in any of its markets. CAI has not, however, tested a broadband system in any of its markets. There are a number of risk factors, including, without limitation, receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals, technology development and the availability of additional financing, that will affect the implementation of a broadband system in any of CAI's markets, some of which are outside the control of CAI. There can be no assurance that CAI will be able to develop a broadband system in any of its markets, or that if a WBN system is developed, that CAI will be able to deploy a variety of services in a commercially reasonable manner, if at all. In furtherance of its development of the WBN, and in an effort to attract one or more Strategic Partners, CAI has actively participated in the industry-wide effort to change FCC regulations governing the use of MMDS spectrum for two-way transmission services, has developed two-way equipment in conjunction with high-technology equipment manufacturers, and has sought to educate inter-exchange carriers and other large telecommunications and technology companies with respect to CAI's proposed expanded service capabilities. Additionally, in an effort to maximize the potential of the WBN, CAI has reconfigured the distribution of digital video signals to and within individual markets. By utilizing satellite services, CAI, through its participation in TelQuest, has developed one digital compression center capable of servicing all of CAI's markets. This strategy eliminates the need for the construction and operation of multiple compression centers (one for each market in which a digital video service is launched), and results in a projected construction cost-savings of $6 to $8 million for each compression center. CAI also believes that in areas within markets where the WBN could not deliver services (due to LOS constraints), CAI could provide digital satellite DTH video services and potentially one-way high-speed data. CAI would also have the opportunity to migrate future digital MMDS video customers from the WBN to the satellite in the event capacity on the WBN was needed for voice and data customers. In the 18 months since the strategy was developed, CAI has made substantial progress. CAI believes it is positioned to execute a strategic transaction with one or more large telecommunication companies and execute its business plan utilizing the WBN. The Company's business plan going forward assumes an investment and a contract for significant usage of the WBN in all of its markets by a Strategic Partner. CAI's role in the business case is to provide the transmission infrastructure and bandwidth enabling a high-quality commercial launch of simultaneous video, voice and data services. CAI has designed cellular networks for each of its markets with each cell having a five-mile radius. The five-mile network design is the result of an exhaustive engineering study of propagation and coverage statistics and design parameters such as the availability of transmission towers, modulation schemes, and transmit power requirements from the subscriber premises. the design also incorporates a 2 times frequency usage pattern within each cell. By segmenting each cell into four quadrants, each frequency set for two-way communications can be used twice within each cell. As an example, the Boston market is built out with 25 cells by the tenth year of the plan and covers approximately 88% of the homes and businesses in the market area. The Company estimates the total cost for each cell is approximately $857,000. Current analysis indicates that this cellular design is economical on an incremental cell basis down to approximately 20,000 homes and businesses per cell. Under the Company's proposed business plan, the Strategic Partner would purchase WBN capacity, on a wholesale basis, and retail the digital video, voice and data services provided via the WBN to its customers. The Strategic Partner would market, sell, install, bill and service the customer and fund all acquisition and equipment costs. The wholesale fees CAI anticipates it will charge should allow the Strategic Partner to price the services at the retail level to compete with the Local Exchange Carrier and/or cable or satellite operator in a particular market and earn a reasonable return. The prices to end-customers will be determined by the Strategic Partner. The plan anticipates that the Strategic Partner will offer a full-range of telecommunications services to its customers in addition to the video, voice and data provided by CAI. The wholesale prices for the CAI services are expected to consist of monthly recurring charges based on the number of customers for each service. The business plan further anticipates that the Strategic Partner will be retain applicable installation fees. The new business plan segments the potential market into five sectors: residential, home business, small business, medium business and large business. With input from an outside consulting group, the Company determined penetration rates for each service within each market segment as well as the expected retail prices from which it derived the wholesale price CAI would charge the Strategic Partner. 3. Digital Subscription Video CAI has committed significant funds and substantial engineering and regulatory efforts to the build-out of its digital MMDS system in Boston, MA. Initially, construction of the Boston system was undertaken in fulfillment of CAI's obligations under the BR Agreement with BANX for the provision of subscription video services by BANX using MMDS spectrum. When BANX abandoned its digital video plans, CAI continued to construct the Boston system. In its continuation of the construction, however, CAI sought to build into the system flexibility it believed was necessary to offer one-way, high-speed data services, as well as two-way MMDS services, such as two-way data and telephony services. CAI's Boston system is currently testing digital video, voice and data transmission services. In connection with the build-out of the digital system in Boston, CAI has converted nearly 100% of the ITFS receive sites in Boston enabling the receive sites to receive the ITFS signals, as transmitted from CAI's digital head-end and several repeater sites located in the Boston metropolitan area. The technology and equipment deployed and being used in Boston for digital video and other uses was devised primarily by CAI's engineering staff, working in conjunction with various equipment vendors. Since the technology and equipment is relatively new, CAI and its principal vendors have had to reconfigure certain aspects of the technology and equipment. CAI has substantially eliminated many of the minor technical flaws it experienced in the incipient stages of developing and testing the Boston digital video technology, and is working with vendors to improve the technology and prototype equipment deployed in Boston for video and alternative uses such as two-way data and telephony. CAI originally indicated that it would launch a digital subscription video product in Boston during the second half of 1997. The video launch was not only viewed by CAI as important as a means of attracting a Strategic Partner, but also was required to meet certain covenants imposed by the Interim Credit Facility prior to its early termination in November 1997. (The covenants imposed upon CAI in connection with the issuance of the Secured Notes do not include a digital video requirement in Boston or any other CAI market.) The launch of a commercial digital subscription video product in Boston has been delayed due to three principal factors: unexpected delays associated with equipment, including customer premises equipment of sufficient quality to support a commercial launch of a digital subscription video product; CAI's limited financial resources; and the absence of a Strategic Partner willing to utilize the digital MMDS system to the fullest capacity. CAI, in conjunction with its primary vendors, has made significant progress in improving the quality of the digital video product being tested in Boston. The customer premises and other equipment has been reconfigured in some instances in an effort to eliminate many of the technical flaws that were associated with the early versions of this equipment. At this time, however, CAI has no definitive plans to launch, on its own, a full-scale commercial digital subscription video service in its Boston market, and is instead contemplating limited roll-out of a digital subscription video product once all of the technical flaws experienced by CAI with the equipment have been eliminated to CAI's satisfaction. CAI is fully committed to ensuring that its ITFS license holders in Boston can serve their respective receive sites with such license holders digital video programming, a project that CAI believes is substantially completed in Boston. CAI believes, however, that its best position in connection with discussions it is having or contemplates having with potential Strategic Partners, and in light of its limited financial resources, is to delay the full-scale launch of a commercial video service for the immediate future. Under the new WBN business plan, CAI projects a monthly charge to the Strategic partner for the digital video service of $18.75 per basic subscriber per month for a 72-channel video product. The rates for premium services, pay-per-view movies and pay-per-view events are forecast at $8.25, $12.50, and $17.50, respectively. These prices are projected to increase slightly throughout the projection period. The business plan includes the sale of the digital MMDS signal and does not contemplate the resale of TelQuest's digital satellite signal to customers unable to receive the MMDS signal. Furthermore, the business plan projects the digital video service being sold only in the residential sector of the Company's markets. The penetration rate for such video service in the fifth year of the plan is 6.8% of addressable homes and 10% in the tenth year. The proposed business plan does not contemplate offering digital video services in New York City due to the limitations on the number of usable channels in that market. 4. High-speed Data Services CAI believes that MMDS technology presents a viable option to traditional telephony providers as a "pipeline" through which Internet and commercial on-line services can be carried, especially for small- to medium -sized businesses seeking a cost-effective means of accessing such on-line services. To date, except for limited circumstances in which two-way use is authorized, the FCC has licensed the MMDS spectrum for one-way video and data transmission. CAI further believes that the MMDS industry's systems, which can currently reach more than 50% of the nation's households, are superior to traditional telephone lines in terms of speed. An MMDS system can transmit data at speeds of up to 27 Mbps, nearly 1,000 times faster than traditional telephony rates of 28.8 Kbps. Several MMDS operators, including CAI, have successfully tested one-way Internet access capabilities over their existing systems, using a traditional telephone line for the typically less data-intensive return path. During the fall of 1996, CAI began commercial trials of its one-way Internet access service in its New York, Rochester, NY and Boston markets. This service transmitted data at speeds of up to 27 Mbps downstream and utilized a telephony return path. Approximately 200 recipients participated in the trials. In connection with the development of CAI's Internet strategy, CAI engaged a national Internet consulting firm, Maloff Group International ("MGI"), and appointed MGI's principal, Joel Maloff, as CAI's acting Senior Vice President and General Manager of Internet Services. In consultation with MGI, CAI developed a wholesale Internet access strategy. This strategy includes CAI providing retransmission services to Internet Service Providers ("ISPs") on a market-by-market basis. Pursuant to CAI's standard form of retransmission agreement, an ISP can purchase MMDS spectrum capacity from CAI in 1.544 Mbps bandwidth segments (each a "T1 Equivalent") for a fixed monthly rate. The ISP can serve as many subscribers from the T1 Equivalent as it chooses, however, CAI recommends serving not more than 300 subscribers per T1 Equivalent to fully maximize download transmission speeds. The ISP maintains the subscriber relationship, although in most instances, CAI provides the installation services to the ISP for a fee. CAI has currently contracted with four ISPs, which provide Internet access services in Rochester, New York City and Boston. Under the WBN business plan, CAI intends to sell, on a wholesale basis and subject to regulatory approval, a two-way, high-speed data service to a Strategic Partner for $22.50 per month per subscriber, initially, which price is expected to decline over the projection period. The installation charge would be determined and collected by the Strategic Partner. Subscriber installation charges are expected to be determined and collected by the Strategic Partner, who would be responsible for such installation services at subscribers' premises. The Company's business plan further assumes that each data subscriber is configured with one cable modem unit, which is expected to be provided by the Strategic Partner. The business plan further assumes downstream capacity of 27 Mbps and an upstream capacity of 3.5 Mbps. Each downstream channel is projected to have a capacity of approximately 1,900 subscribers. Five-year penetration rate assumptions for various market sectors are as follows: residential - 5.9%; home office - 3.2%; small business - 4.8%; medium business - 2.6%, and large business 0.0%. 5. Telephony Services The Companies' business plan also assumes that CAI sells, on a wholesale basis and subject to regulatory approval, a telephony transmission service to the Strategic Partner. The expected base charge for this service is $18.75 per customer per month, plus a usage charge of $0.01 per minute per 64 Kbps line. Under the usage assumptions contained in the Company's business plan, this rate structure would produce an average revenue to the Company of $81.70 per month per customer. The telephony service capacity currently being tested by the Company produces speeds of up to 256 Kbps in each direction. The Company believes that the speed of this service will increase to 512 Kbps with the next generation of equipment. This telephony service is projected to be primarily a home office and small business product and is not expected to be offered to residential customers. The penetration of addressable locations at the end of five years in the five sectors are as follows: residential - 0.0%, home office - - 7.8%, small business - 7.8%, medium business - 4.9%, and large business - 1.5%. 6. Analog-based Subscription Video CAI currently operates six analog-based subscription video systems in New York City, Rochester and Albany, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Washington, DC, and Norfolk/Virginia Beach, VA. In addition, CAI has a portfolio of wireless cable channel rights in eight additional markets, including Long Island, Buffalo and Syracuse, NY; Providence, RI; Hartford, CT; Boston, MA; Baltimore, MD, and Pittsburgh, PA. As of May 31, 1998, CAI provided subscription video services to approximately 50,000 subscribers. CAI 's principal subscription video competitors in each of its markets are the hard-wire cable companies, and include Comcast Corp., Tele-Communications, Inc., Cox Cable Communications, Time Warner Cable and Cablevision Systems Corp. The table below outlines as of March 31, 1998 (except as indicated in the footnotes) the characteristics of the markets in which CAI has an operational subscription television system or in which CAI holds significant spectrum rights: TABLE I

(1) DMA is the Designated Market Area as determined by A.C. Nielsen Company as of December 1995. (2) The Estimated Total Service Area Households in the service area represents the approximate number of households within a 35 mile radius of CAI's Tower sites. These households may have been adjusted downward if any of CAI's markets overlapped with a newly acquired market (see Table II). This information is based on estimates of CAI obtained using two ED Engineering software programs, MSITETM and POP90TM. Both of these programs use 1990 Census data to compile their information. Some of these households will be "shadowed" and therefore unable to receive CAI's service due to LOS constraints. The percentage of Estimated Households in the Service Area that CAI estimates may be shadowed due to LOS constraints generally ranges from 10% to 60% depending upon the market. A certain amount of these LOS constraints may be overcome by the placement of beambenders and/or signal boosters or by properly designing a cellular network within a service area. (3) The Number of Channels Available comprises wireless cable channels and local broadcast channels that can be received by subscribers. Wireless cable channels are either licensed to CAI or leased to CAI from other license holders. The Number of Channels Available includes 10 off-air channels in Philadelphia and 11 in New York City. The Number of Channels Available includes certain channels that are subject to FCC approvals or third party interference agreements. CAI has pending FCC applications concerning co-location of transmission sites and/or an increase in broadcast power with respect to 5 channels in Hartford, 8 channels in New York City, 17 channels in Providence, 3 channels in Buffalo, 15 channels in Norfolk, 5 channels in Boston and 6 channels in Long Island. The Number of Channels Available includes ITFS channels that may not be available for commercial programming by CAI. CAI also has rights, either through licenses or leases, to 5 channels in Greensboro (1 available and 4 applied for), 8 available channels in Memphis, and 2 available channels in Winston-Salem. (4) The Number of Subscribers represents the number of analog subscription video subscribers as of May 31, 1998. (5) The Long Island market includes Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State. The table below outlines as of March 31, 1998 the characteristics of the potential markets for which CAI was the successful bidder at the completion of the FCC Auction (defined below). The Estimated Service Area households in Table I above may have been adjusted if the 35-mile Protected Service Area (PSA) overlapped with any of the markets identified below. To the extent there was overlap between two PSAs, the number of Estimated Total Service Area households in such overlapping area was divided equally between the two affected markets. Table II

(1) The number of channels currently owned or leased by CAI. CAI has not actively sought to increase its video subscriber base in its existing analog operating systems. Originally, this decision was made in connection with the BR Agreement, which contemplated that CAI would be required to transfer all of its analog video subscribers to the appropriate BANX Affiliate at the time such BANX Affiliate became the provider of video programming in a particular market. CAI was not entitled to any compensation for subscribers so transferred, and there was no incentive for CAI to increase its subscriber base. With the suspension of the BR Agreement, CAI continues to explore the full capabilities of its MMDS spectrum, including uses for such spectrum other than subscription video delivery. Consequently, CAI has maintained its strategy of not pursuing video subscriber growth while it evaluates its business opportunities other than subscription video services. The policy of not pursuing subscriber growth has had a negative impact on CAI's revenues, which is only partially mitigated by the cost-savings associated with reduced marketing and other efforts ordinarily pursued in connection with increasing a subscriber base. In each of the principal analog-based subscription video markets served by CAI there is, and CAI believes there will continue to be, significant competition for households that are presently subscribers of a hard-wire cable service. Additionally, CAI has experienced loss of subscribers to hard-wire cable providers in markets where CAI's channel offering is significantly less, as a result of channel capacity limitations inherent in an analog-based MMDS operation, than the hard-wire cable providers, such as in CAI's New York City market. The Company's proposed business plan assumes that CAI will continue to operate its analog video business in an effort to maximize current cash flow until the infrastructures necessary for the implementation of the WBN are constructed, which is projected to occur in 1999. At that point, it is assumed that the Company no longer has an analog video service and that the Company does not receive any remuneration from a Strategic Partner for the transfer of any of its former analog subscribers to the Strategic Partner. B. Risk Factors Related To CAI's Business Plan 1. Competition and Technology The subscription television industry is highly competitive. CAI's principal subscription television competitors in each market are traditional hard-wire cable, DBS and private cable operators. Premium movie services offered by the cable television systems have encountered significant competition from the home video cassette recorder industry. In areas where several local off-air VHF/UHF broadcast channels can be received without the benefit of subscription television, cable television systems also have faced competition from the availability of broadcast signals generally and have found market penetration to be more difficult. Legislative, regulatory and technological developments may result in additional and significant competition, including competition from local telephone companies. (a) Hard-Wire Cable CAI's principal subscription television competitors in each market are traditional hard-wire cable operators. Hard-wire cable companies are generally well established and known to potential customers and have significantly greater financial and other resources than CAI. The hard-wire cable companies competing in CAI's markets generally offer significantly increased channel line-ups, compared to between 22 to 42 channels (consisting of between 17 and 33 wireless cable channels and between 5 and 10 local off-air VHF/UHF broadcast channels) generally offered by CAI in its markets. According to a report issued by the FCC in September, 1995, of the approximately 96,000,000 total television households nationwide, approximately 85,000,000 are passed by hard-wire cable systems, and of those homes that are passed by cable, approximately 62,000,000 are hard-wire cable subscribers. (b) Direct-to-Home ("DTH") DTH satellite television services originally were available via satellite receivers which generally were 7-to-12 foot dishes mounted in the yards of homes to receive television signals from orbiting satellites. Until the implementation of encryption, these dishes enabled reception of any and all signals without payment of fees. Having to purchase decoders and pay for programming has reduced their popularity, although CAI will to some degree compete with these systems in marketing its services. Another form of DTH service is DBS, which involves the transmission of an encoded signal direct from a satellite to the customer's home. Because the signal is at a higher power level and frequency than most satellite-transmitted signals, its reception can be accomplished with a relatively small (18-inch) dish mounted on a rooftop or in the yard. DBS cannot, for technical and legal reasons, provide local VHF/UHF broadcast channels as part of its service, although many DBS subscribers receive such channels via standard over-the air receive antennas. Moreover, DBS may provide subscribers with access to broadcast network distant signals only when such subscribers reside in areas unserved by any broadcast station. The cost to a DBS subscriber for equipment and service is generally substantially higher than the cost to wireless cable subscribers. According to DBS Digest, there are approximately 5,800,000 subscribers using DBS services. (c) Private Cable Private cable, also known as satellite master antenna television, is a multi-channel subscription television service where the programming is received by satellite receiver and then transmitted via coaxial cable throughout private property, often MDUs, without crossing public rights of way. Private cable operates under an agreement with a private landowner to service a specific MDU, commercial establishment or hotel. The FCC amended its rules to provide point-to-point delivery of video programming by private cable operators and other video delivery systems in the 18 GHz band. Private cable operators compete with CAI for exclusive rights of entry into larger MDUs. (d) Telephone Companies The 1996 Act removed many of the restrictions on the ability of local exchange carriers ("LECs"), including RBOCs, to provide video programming directly to subscribers in their respective telephone service areas. Thus, while there remains a prohibition against an LEC acquiring a hard-wire cable operator within its telephone service area, LECs can build their own hard-wire cable systems. In addition to having the opportunity to install traditional hard-wire cable, LECs also have the option of installing high capacity fiber optic facilities. CAI believes that it will continue to maintain a cost advantage over installing hard-wire, fiber optic or open video distribution platforms due to the high capital expenditures associated with such technologies. Bell South Corporation has acquired wireless cable channel rights in Atlanta, GA, New Orleans, LA, and Miami, FL and begun to offer services in New Orleans. Pacific Telesis Group recently launched a 150 channel digital video system in Los Angeles, CA. The competitive effect of the entry of telephone companies into the subscription television business, including wireless cable, in still uncertain. (e) Local Off-Air VHF/UHF Broadcasts Local off-air VHF/UHF broadcast television stations (such as ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox) provide free programming to the public. Previously, subscription television operators could retransmit these broadcast signals without permission. However, effective October 6, 1993, pursuant to the 1992 Cable Act, local broadcasters may require that subscription television operators obtain their consent before retransmitting local television broadcasts. CAI has obtained such consents for its operating systems. CAI also will be required to obtain such consents in certain of its markets to re-broadcast any such channels. CAI believes that it will be able to obtain such consents, but no assurance can be given that it will be able to obtain all such consents. The FCC also has recently permitted broadcast networks to acquire, subject to certain restriction, ownership interests in hard-wire cable systems. In some areas, several low power television ("LPTV") stations authorized by the FCC are used to provide multi-channel subscription television service to the public. LPTV transmits on conventional VHF/UHF broadcast channels, but is restricted to very low power levels, which limits the area where a high-quality signal can be received. (f) Local Multi-Point Distribution Service ("LMDS") In 1993, the FCC initially proposed to redesignate the 28 GHz band to create a new video programming delivery service referred to as LMDS. In July 1995, the FCC proposed to award licenses in each of 493 BTAs- pursuant to auctions. Final rules were issued by the FCC, and the auction for LMDS spectrum was conducted, in February 1998. Bidders bid on an A-block license, consisting of 1,150 MHz of spectrum, and a B-block license, consisting of 150 MHz of spectrum, in each BTA-. A total of 864 licenses were sold to 104 bidders for bids totaling $578.6 million. 122 licenses were not sold, including 109 A-block licenses. The FCC intends to re-auction the unsold licenses at an undetermined date in the future. The LMDS licensees share the 28 GHz frequency band with the Mobile Satellite Service and the 31 GHz band with state and local governments. The FCC contemplates allowing the LMDS licensees to use the spectrum for a variety of services, including telephony, interactive video, video distribution, data transmission, teleconferencing, and other applications. Depending on the type and number of services offered, the cost of the customer-premises equipment could range from $300 (for a video receive antenna) to $1,000 (for telephony, video, and data capabilities). In addition, within each market, CAI initially must compete with others to acquire, from the limited number of MMDS channels issued or issuable, rights to a minimum number of MMDS channels needed to establish a commercially viable system. Digital capability is essential for MMDS to compete with hard-wire cable, which in its current analog state offers between 36 to 90 channel offerings depending on a given market. With the deployment of digital, hard-wire cable is expected to offer over 150 channels. CAI has lost television subscribers to hard-wire cable competitors in each of its markets due to the channel capacity limitations inherent in an analog-based MMDS operation. In addition, within each market, CAI initially must compete with others to acquire, from the limited number of MMDS channels issued or issuable, rights to a minimum number of MMDS channels needed to establish a commercially viable system. Aggressive price competition or the passing of a substantial number of presently unpassed households by any existing or new subscription television service could have a material adverse effect on CAI's results of operations and financial condition. New and advanced technologies for the subscription television industry, such as digital compression, fiber optic networks, DBS transmission, video dialtone, and LMDS are in various stages of development of commercial deployment. These technologies are being developed and supported by entities, such as hard-wire cable companies and RBOCs, that have significantly greater financial and other resources than CAI. These new technologies could have a material adverse effect on the demand for MMDS subscription television services. There can be no assurance that CAI will be able to compete successfully with existing competitors or new entrants in the market for subscription television services. CAI also will face intense competition from other providers of data and telephony transmission services if CAI implements, on a commercial basis, such services. Such competition is increased due to the fact that MMDS spectrum has not traditionally been utilized to deliver such alternative services, and consumer acceptance of such services delivered via MMDS technology is unknown at this time. Many of the existing providers of data transmission and telephony services, such as long distance and regional telephone companies, have significantly greater financial and other resources than CAI. In addition, there can be no assurance that there will be consumer demand for alternative uses of the MMDS spectrum such as data transmission, including Internet access services, and telephony delivery services, that CAI will be able to compete successfully against other providers of such services, or that CAI will be able to achieve profitability from such services in future years. 2. Dependence on Channel Leases and Licenses; Need for License Extensions CAI is dependent upon leases of transmission capacity from various third-party license holders for much of its channel rights. MMDS and ITFS licenses generally are granted for a term of ten years and are subject to renewal by the FCC. FCC licenses also specify construction deadlines which, if not met, could result in the loss of the license. Requests for additional time to construct a channel may be filed and are subject to review pursuant to FCC rules. Certain of CAI's MMDS and ITFS channel rights are subject to pending extension requests and it is anticipated that additional extensions will be required. There can be no assurance that the FCC will grant any particular extension request or license renewal request. CAI's channel leases typically cover four ITFS channels and/or one to four MMDS channels each. Under the rules of the FCC, the term of leases for ITFS channels, which constitute between 20 and, in rare instances, 28 of the 33 available wireless channels within any major wireless cable market, may not exceed 10 years. The ITFS channel leases under which CAI operates generally provide that following the expiration of the initial term of the lease, the ITFS license holders may negotiate for the lease of channel capacity for one or more additional or renewal terms with only CAI or its sublessor. (The MMDS channel leases held by CAI generally grant CAI the right to renew the channel lease.) If a renewal agreement is not reached within a specified time frame during which only CAI or its sublessor has the use of the channel capacity, CAI would thereafter typically have a right of first refusal to match any competing offers from one or more third parties. For these and other reasons, including CAI's status as the entity that controls the tower lease and the equipment, CAI anticipates that it will be able to negotiate additional renewals with either the incumbent license holder, or with successor license holders, although there is no assurance that it will be successful. All ITFS and MMDS channel leases are dependent upon the continued validity of the corresponding FCC license. CAI anticipates that upon the expiration of the current license terms, all such FCC licenses will be renewed following completion of the FCC review process, although there is no assurance that the FCC will grant these renewal applications. The termination of or failure to renew a channel license or lease (due to a breach by CAI or its lessor, cancellation of the license held by a third party lessor for failure to timely construct and/or perfect the wireless cable facility, or otherwise) or the failure to grant an application for an extension of the time to construct an authorized station, could result in CAI being unable to deliver services on such channel(s) unless it were able to lease excess capacity from a successor license holder. Such a termination or failure in a market which CAI actively serves could have a material adverse effect on Reorganized CAI and its operations. 3. Highly Competitive Businesses The subscription television, high speed data, and local telephone services businesses are highly competitive. The competitors for the services in each market are traditional hard-wire cable, direct broadcast satellite (DBS), private cable operators, regional telephone companies, CLEC's and Internet service providers. Many of these competitors are well established and known to potential customers and have significantly greater financial and other resources than CAI. New and advanced technologies for the delivery of telecommunications services, such as fiber optic networks, ADSL, 28 GHz microwave transmission (LMDS), and 22 GHz microwave transmission, are in various stages of development. Certain of these technologies are being developed and supported by entities, such as hard-wire cable companies and regional telephone companies, that have significantly greater financial and other resources than CAI. These new technologies could have material adverse effect on the demand for Reorganized CAI's services. There can be no assurance that Reorganized CAI will be able to compete successfully with existing or new entrants in the market for subscription television and telecommunications services. 4. Competitive Pressures of Rapid Changes in Technology The subscription television and telecommunications services industries in general are subject to rapid and significant changes in technology. These changes may increase competitive pressures on Reorganized CAI or require capital investments by Reorganized CAI (to remain competitive) in excess of its available resources. Because of the rapid and high level of technological change in the industry, the effect of technological changes on Reorganized CAI's businesses of cannot be predicted with any certainty. 5. Need for Additional Financing for Operations Reorganized CAI's new business plan will require one or more substantial investments to finance projected capital expenditures and operating expenses for system development. These activities may be financed in whole or in part by Reorganized CAI through debt or equity financings, joint ventures, or other arrangements. There are no assurances, however, that the financing necessary to expand the build-out of the wireless broadband networks will be available on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. Additional debt could result in a substantial portion of Reorganized CAI'S cash flow from operations being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness and may render Reorganized CAI more vulnerable to competitive pressures and economic downturns. The failure to obtain additional financing could adversely affect the growth of Reorganized CAI and its ability to compete successfully in the subscription television and telecommunications services industries. 6. New Business Strategy/Strategic Partner The provision of subscription television services utilizing the MMDS spectrum is not new; however, the provision of video services packaged together with high speed data and telephone services, on a wholesale basis to one or more Strategic Partners, as contemplated by Reorganized CAI's business plan, is a new and untested concept. Thus, Reorganized CAI will face a number of the difficulties and uncertainties generally associated with new businesses, such as lack of consumer acceptance, difficulty in obtaining financing, increasing competition, advances in competing technologies and changes in laws and regulations. Although CAI has developed prototype equipment, which is currently installed and being demonstrated in New York and Boston, the equipment is not yet commercially available. There can be no assurance that the wireless broadband network will develop as planned. In addition, while CAI has conducted lengthy discussions with several potential Strategic Partners, and believes that, primarily due to the tremendous cost and "time to market" advantages of the wireless broadband network over competing networks, it ultimately will be successful in attracting a Strategic Partner, there can be no assurance that any transaction with a Strategic Partner actually will be consummated. C. Business And Operations of PCT Following consummation of the Plan, PCT will continue to provide analog subscription video services to its single family and commercial unit subscribers in the Philadelphia market. See Section II.E -- "General Information -- PCT -- Operations of PCT" IV. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANIES A.

Board Of Directors And Management Of PCT The Board of Directors of PCT currently is comprised of Messrs. Prisco and Ashman. The following is a list of PCT's officers and their positions with PCT as of June 15, 1998:
Name Position(s) with PCT John J. Prisco President James P. Ashman Executive Vice President Gerald Stevens-Kittner Senior Vice President -- Spectrum Management George J. Parise Vice President, Controller and Treasurer Sabino Rodriguez, III Secretary D. Employment Agreements CAI has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Abbruzzese, Prisco, Ashman, Stevens-Kittner and Kostreski, as well as certain other Key Employees who are not executive officers listed above. Such agreements continue in effect until March 21, 1999, in the case of Mr. Abbruzzese; until January 3, 1999 in the case of Mr. Prisco; until February 28, 1999 in the case of Mr. Ashman; until March 18, 1999 in the case of Mr. Stevens-Kittner; and until March 8, 1999 in the case of Mr. Kostreski. The employment agreements are automatically renewable for successive one-year terms, unless otherwise terminated. Under the terms of their respective employment agreements: Mr. Abbruzzese serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CAI and is entitled to an annual base salary of $350,000; Mr. Prisco serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of CAI and is entitled to a base salary of $200,000; Mr. Ashman serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of CAI and is entitled to a base salary of $183,000; Mr. Stevens-Kittner serves as Senior Vice President - Spectrum Management and is entitled to a base salary of $180,000, and Mr. Kostreski serves as Senior Vice President - - Engineering and is entitled to a base salary of $143,750. Each of the foregoing executive officers also is entitled to an annual bonus to be determined by the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, Messrs. Abbruzzese, Prisco, Ashman, Stevens-Kittner and Kostreski agree to devote substantially all of their working time to the business of CAI. Mr. Abbruzzese has agreed to devote not less than 75% of his working time to CAI and Mr. Stevens-Kittner may devote up to 20% of his working time to the business of CS Wireless. Each of the employment agreements entitles the executive to his base salary and certain benefits for 12 months following termination of such executive's employment without cause (as defined in the employment agreement). All of the named executives are subject to nondisclosure agreements with respect to the confidential information of CAI and are subject to a noncompetition provision in each of their employment agreements. In connection with the consummation of the Plan, Reorganized CAI will enter into new one-year employment agreements with the Key Employees, in substantially the same form as the existing agreements, but amending the severance payable upon certain terminations of employment. The severance amount payable in the event of a termination other than for cause (as defined in the agreements) will be equal to one year's base salary for all Key Employees, other than Mr. Abbruzzese, for whom the severance amount will be equal to eighteen month's base salary. The severance amount payable in the event of a termination of employment as a result of an individual's death or disability will be equal to one year's base salary, except for Mr. Abbruzzese, for whom the severance amount will be equal to eighteen month's base salary; provided, however, any severance payment paid to an individual as a result of disability will be reduced by the amount of disability insurance proceeds received by the individual pursuant to a Company-provided policy. The new Employment Agreements also provide for payment of the severance amount in the event of a voluntary termination of employment for Good Reason within 18 months following the Consummation Date. Good Reason means, with respect to the employee, (i) the assignment to the employee of any material duties materially inconsistent with the employee's position, authority, duties or responsibilities immediately before the Consummation Date, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith that is remedied by Reorganized CAI promptly after receipt of notice of such action given by the affected employee; (ii) any material reduction in the employee's base salary, opportunity to earn annual bonuses or other compensation or employee benefits, other than as a result of an isolated and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith that is remedied by Reorganized CAI promptly after receipt of notice of such action given by the affected employee; (iii) Reorganized CAI's requiring the employee to relocate his or her principal place of business to a place that is more than thirty-five miles from his or her previous principal place of business; or (iv) any purported termination of the agreement other than as expressly permitted by the agreement. In February 1998, CAI implemented a deferred bonus plan for certain employees. Under the terms of the plan, bonuses in amounts determined by the Compensation Committee would be paid to plan participants upon the earlier of (a) the completion by CAI of a major financial restructuring, or (b) the completion of investments by, and/or contractual relationships with, one or more Strategic Partners valued at not less than $75 million in the aggregate (each a "Bonus Event"). Under the plan, a total of approximately $1,200,000 would be paid within 60 days of a Bonus Event. In approving the deferred bonus plan, the Compensation Committee, while recognizing CAI'S financial status, was concerned that CAI honor its contractual obligations to those individual employees with whom CAI had employment agreements entitling them to an annual bonus. The Compensation Committee was also guided by the need to provide certain employees with an appropriate incentive as CAI sought to implement its long-term plans. In recognition of the consummation of a series of transactions during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1998 that resulted in a complete termination of all rights and interests previously held by the BANX Affiliates in CAI's spectrum and the BANX Securities, and the importance of the termination of such rights and interests in CAI's search for one or more Strategic Partners, the Compensation Committee waived the Bonus Event requirement and approved the payment of 45% of the bonus amount to members of CAI's senior management and 90% of the bonus amount to other plan participants at the end of February 1998. Simultaneously, the Compensation Committee approved the payment of an additional 45% of the bonus amount on June 15, 1998 to those plan participants that received 45% of the bonus amount at the end of February 1998 in the form of a retention bonus, subject to the condition that such participant continue to be an active employee of CAI through June 15, 1998. On June 10, 1998, the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee requested that CAI defer the required payment of the retention bonuses until the Committee could review, and CAI and the Committee could resolve, all outstanding arrangements and issues with respect to the employment and compensation of continuing management. In response to this request, CAI's board of directors agreed to defer for one week, with the consent of the affected employees, the retention bonuses due to Messrs. Abbruzzese, Prisco, and Ashman (representing approximately 53.9% of the total), but to pay the remainder when due on June 15 to other participating employees. On June 19, 1998, the Committee and CAI reached agreement on employment and compensation matters concerning continuing management and, accordingly, CAI paid Messrs. Abbruzzese, Prisco, and Ashman their retention bonuses on June 22, 1998. The remaining 10% of the aggregate bonus amount due each participating employee is still subject to the originally-approved Bonus Events. E. Executive Severance Plan CAI currently maintains an Executive Severance Pay Plan (the "Severance Plan") pursuant to which executive employees of CAI identified and designated by the Compensation Committee as eligible participants are entitled to certain severance benefits upon a Qualifying Termination of Employment in the event of a change in control (as defined under the Severance Plan). Individuals designated by the Compensation Committee as Tier I participants are eligible for a lump sum payment equal to 30 months of such individual's base salary, as well as the maintenance of certain other benefits (or a reasonable equivalent thereof) for a prescribed period following the Qualifying Termination of Employment. Individuals designated by the Compensation Committee as Tier II participants are eligible for a lump sum payment of 18 months of such individual's base pay, as well as the maintenance of certain other benefits (or a reasonable equivalent thereof) for a prescribed period following the Qualifying Termination of Employment. The Compensation Committee has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to add or remove participants from the Severance Plan from time to time prior to a change in control of CAI. Under the Severance Plan, a "Qualifying Termination of Employment" occurs if, within two years of a change in control of CAI, (a) a participant terminates her employment as a result of (i) the assignment to such participant of any duties inconsistent in any respect with participant's position (including status, offices, titles, and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities immediately before the change in control, or any other action by CAI that results in a significant diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by CAI promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by participant; (ii) any material reduction in participant's base pay, opportunity to earn annual bonuses or other compensation or employee benefits, other than as a result of an isolated and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by CAI promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by participant; (iii) CAI's requiring participant to relocate his or her principal place of business to a place which is more than thirty-five miles from his or her previous principal place of business; (iv) any purported termination of the Plan otherwise than as expressly permitted by the Severance Plan; or (v) termination of the participant's employment as a result of participant's death or disability within 24 months following a change in control, or (b) CAI terminates a participant's employment. A participant is not entitled to separation benefits under the Severance Plan in the event that such participant's employment is terminated for cause or the participant voluntarily resigns from CAI. For purposes of the Severance Plan, each of the following events constitutes a "Change in Control": (i) a report on Schedule 3d shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act disclosing that any person other than CAI, or any employee benefit plan sponsored by CAI, is the beneficial owner (as the term is defined in Rule 3d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of thirty-five percent or more of the total voting power represented by CAI's then outstanding voting securities (calculated as provided in paragraph (d) of Rule 3d-3 in the case of rights to acquire voting securities); or (ii) any person, other than CAI or any employee benefit plan sponsored by CAI, shall purchase shares pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire any voting securities of CAI (or securities convertible into such voting securities) for cash, securities or any other consideration, provided that after consummation of the offer, the person in question is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of thirty-five percent or more of the total voting power represented by CAI's then outstanding voting securities (all as calculated under clause (i)); or (iii) the stockholders of CAI shall approve (A) any consolidation or merger of CAI in which CAI is not the continuing or surviving corporation (other than a merger of CAI in which holders of Old Common Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of Old Common Stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger as immediately before), or pursuant to which Old Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, or (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all the assets of CAI; or (iv) CAI shall have filed, or an involuntary filing shall have been made in respect of CAI, for protection from creditors under the Bankruptcy Code, or (v) there shall have been a change in the composition of the Board of Directors of CAI at any time during any consecutive twenty-four-month period such that "continuing directors" cease for any reason to constitute at least a fifty percent majority of the Board. So long as there has not been a "change of control" within the meaning of clause (iv), the Board of Directors may adopt by a seventy percent majority vote of the "continuing directors" a resolution to the effect that an event described in clauses (i) or (ii) shall not constitute a "change of control." In connection with the consummation of the Plan, the Severance Plan will be terminated. F. Transactions With Affiliates Certain officers and directors are involved in other relationships and transactions with CAI, including interests in certain affiliated companies and in companies which provide CAI and/or the Subsidiaries with certain services. Recent transactions with affiliates are summarized below. Satellite Services. CAI has pursued three satellite ventures in addition to its investment is TelQuest Satellite Services LLC (described more fully below), through the following wholly-owned Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Satellite Subsidiaries"): (i) MMDS Satellite Ventures, Inc., which was formed for the purpose of pursuing Ku-band satellite opportunities; (ii) CAI Data Systems, Inc., formed for the purpose of pursuing Ka-band satellite opportunities, and (iii) CAI Satellite Communications, Inc., formed for the purpose of pursuing V-band satellite opportunities. MMDS Satellite Ventures, Inc. has been inactive since the summer of 1997, primarily due to a perceived lack of interest on the part of any potential joint venture partner in pursuing a Ku-band satellite strategy. CAI Data Systems, Inc. ("Data Systems") announced on July 23, 1997 that it had filed an application with the FCC to construct, launch, and operate a Ka-band satellite. The application, which is currently pending before the FCC, contemplates a July 1999 launch date for the satellite. The estimated cost of constructing and launching the satellite is approximately $292,500,000, which Data Systems plans to finance through the issuance of its own debt and/or equity securities. There can be no assurance that Data Systems' application will be granted by the FCC or, if granted, that Data Systems will be able to secure financing necessary to construct and launch a satellite. CAI Satellite Communications, Inc. filed a V-band application on September 25, 1997 for the same orbital slots that were identified in Data System's Ka-band application. The application is currently awaiting FCC review. The rationale for seeking identical orbital slots in the V-band application was to permit the co-location of multiple satellites in the same orbit, which potentially could result in the saving of enormous launch costs at the appropriate time. Before the FCC can grant any orbital position in the V-band, however, it must first file a request with the World Radio Conference for the United States to be allocated the particular V-band frequency. CAI has expended approximately $344,000 on these entities to date, including approximately $87,500 for the FCC filing fee. The Satellite Projects Committee (the "Satellite Committee") of the Board of Directors of CAI has authorized the sale, subject to the receipt of consent from MLGAF, CAI's senior secured lender, of up to one-half of the equity interests in these entities to Haig Capital, LLC ("Haig"), an entity in which Jared E. Abbruzzese, chairman and chief executive officer of CAI has an approximately 75% interest. Under the terms of the transaction as approved by the Satellite Committee, CAI would transfer one-half of the equity in each of the Satellite Subsidiaries to Haig in exchange for Haig's agreement to fund the future capital and other expenditures of the Satellite Subsidiaries, including the salaries and benefits payable to certain employees, up to the amount expended by CAI through the date of transfer of such equity interest. From and after the date that Haig has matched the capital investment made by CAI, Haig and CAI would bear the on-going costs on a pro rata basis. TelQuest Satellite Services. TelQuest is a joint venture between CAI, CS Wireless, and TelQuest Communications, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Abbruzzese. TelQuest was formed on August 4, 1997 for the purpose of developing and operating satellite systems providing digital services. In connection with CAI's $5,000,000 investment in TelQuest, CAI made four cash payments totaling $2,500,000. CAI also contributed to TelQuest a combination of equipment (made available to TelQuest pursuant to a five-year renewable lease at a nominal rental amount) and cash (in lieu of equipment) totaling $2,149,211, as part of the $2,500,000 equipment portion of CAI'S investment in TelQuest. In return for CAI'S $5,000,000 investment in TelQuest, CAI received a 25% interest in the company, subject to dilution upon the occurrence of certain events. CAI has designated its Boston market as the first of its markets to receive TelQuest digital video programming. TelQuest is currently broadcasting approximately 40 channels of pre-digitized video programming, which programming is being received at the Company's head-end located in downtown Boston without significant technical flaws. CAI is currently using the TelQuest programming in Boston to test the digital MMDS delivery platform and the customer premises equipment to be used for a commercial subscription video product. In conjunction with its investment in TelQuest, CAI also has entered into an affiliation agreement with TelQuest that will enable CAI to purchase pre-digitized video programming from TelQuest for those markets, if any, in which CAI launches a commercial digital subscription video product. CAI continues to believe that the affiliation agreement with TelQuest is the most cost-efficient means of accessing pre-digitized video programming for use at its transmission facilities. A migration from the C-band satellite capacity that TelQuest currently is transmitting to the contemplated Ku-band satellite capacity will provide CAI with the opportunity to expand its video offerings to include a direct-to-home product as a supplement to any MMDS-based video delivery system for those potential subscribers that are not capable of receiving the MMDS signal. There can be no assurance, however, that TelQuest will be able to migrate from C-band satellite capacity to Ku-band satellite capacity, that CAI will be able to expand its video offerings beyond its current subscription video product, or that CAI will launch a digital subscription video product in a commercial manner in any of its markets. Wave Air, Inc. CAI periodically charters an airplane owned by Wave Air, Inc., which is primarily owned by Mr. Abbruzzese, in order to carry out business when airline schedules are not compatible. Wave Air charges CAI for this service on an hourly basis at or below market rates for such services. Transactions with Wave Air, Inc. amounted to approximately $154,000 for the year ended March 31, 1998. Loans to Officers. On March 31, 1997, Mr. Abbruzzese executed and delivered a demand promissory note in the principal amount of $780,054.33 in favor of CAI. The note evidences various indebtedness owed by Mr. Abbruzzese and affiliated entities, which Mr. Abbruzzese has agreed to assume, including the outstanding balance on an $800,000 loan made by CAI to Haig. The obligation bears interest at 14% per annum and is secured by a pledge of Mr. Abbruzzese's interest in Haig. Mr. Abbruzzese repaid $86,045 of this obligation during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. In addition, in June 1998, Mr. Abbruzzese made a $45,000 payment on the obligation, reducing the principal outstanding balance to approximately $650,000. Installation Services. In October 1996, two CAI employees formed Telecom Service Support LLC ("Telecom Support") to provide subscriber installation, service call, and warehouse services to the subscription television industry. CAI incurred $452,000 for such services during the year ended March 31, 1998. Services provided by Telecom Support to CAI were on terms at least as favorable to those available to CAI from unrelated parties. Additionally, CAI advanced $20,000 and provided leased vehicles and certain facilities to Telecom Support for the year ended March 31, 1998. Equipment Sales and Purchases. During the year ended March 31, 1998, CAI sold to CS Wireless approximately $3,706,000 of equipment at $116,000 over book value, for 20% down and the balance due 30 days after delivery. The equipment consisted primarily of equipment no longer needed for CAI's Boston, MA project. Additionally, during April 1997, CAI placed purchase orders approximating $1,612,000 with CS Wireless for equipment needed for the Boston project, taking advantage of CS Wireless' favorable pricing arrangements with its vendors. In March 1997, CAI purchased certain used equipment for $107,000 for the Boston project from Haig. All equipment purchased from Haig was sold by Haig to CAI at or below fair market value for such items. Consulting Arrangement. Until February 1998, CAI was a party to a consulting agreement with Alan Sonnenberg, the former president and vice chairman of CAI, pursuant to which Mr. Sonnenberg agreed to provide CAI with certain consulting services for an annual fee of $75,000. Under the agreement, Mr. Sonnenberg received $62,500 during the year ended March 31, 1998. The agreement was terminated in February 1998. Engineering and Spectrum Management Services. CAI has arrangements with CS Wireless pursuant to which CAI personnel provide engineering and spectrum management services CS Wireless. CAI provides engineering consulting services to CS Wireless in connection with the digital build-out by CS Wireless of its Dallas market. CAI receives $10,000 per month plus reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of such consulting services. CAI also provides spectrum management services and subleases office space in its Arlington, Virginia office to CS Wireless. Up to 20% of the professional time of Mr. Gerald Stevens-Kittner, CAI's Senior Vice President -- Spectrum Management, is devoted to CS Wireless spectrum management matters, including regulatory issues before the FCC. CS Wireless compensates Mr. Stevens-Kittner directly for such services. CAI charges CS Wireless a pro rata portion of the monthly rent payment for its Arlington office space, based on the office space used by one CS Wireless employee resident in the Arlington office. G. Directors And Officers Of The Reorganized Companies It is anticipated that the boards of directors of the Reorganized Companies will include two (2) members of current management of CAI. The composition of the remainder of the boards of the Reorganized Companies will be determined by the Companies and the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee, subject to the requirements of Section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Companies and the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee intend to announce prior to the Confirmation Date the identities of any individuals proposed to serve as directors or officers of the Reorganized Companies. If and to the extent possible, the identities of such individuals will be announced by inclusion of a list of proposed directors and/or officers in the Plan Supplement, which will be filed with the Bankruptcy Court at least five (5) Business Days prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing. H. Management Options In connection with the Plan, CAI or Reorganized CAI will adopt a management stock option plan (the "Management Option Plan") for the Management Option Plan Participants (each, a "Participant") that is intended to provide an incentive to complete one or more transactions that would increase shareholder value. Specifically, the Management Option Plan is intended to provide incentives that will motivate those highly competent individuals that comprise the senior management of Reorganized CAI to continue in their efforts to attract a Strategic Partner or effectuate a Trigger Event. The Management Option Plan is also intended to align the interests of such employees with those of Reorganized CAI's shareholders. Pursuant to the Management Option Plan, the Participants would be given options (the "Management Options") to acquire, in the aggregate, up to 10 percent of the outstanding shares of Reorganized CAI issued upon consummation of the Plan. Under the proposed Plan, 15 million shares of New Common Stock are anticipated to be issued to holders of Class CAI-5 and CAI-6 Claims; thus, the number of shares available under the Management Option Plan would be 1.5 million. Approval of the Plan will be deemed an approval or ratification, as the case may be, of the Management Option Plan pursuant to which the Management Options will be granted. The Management Option Plan may be adopted prior to the Consummation Date by the Board of Directors of CAI, although no options will be granted until the Consummation Date. The Management Options will vest and become exercisable upon completion of one or more Trigger Events, other than a Trigger Event with a person or persons with whom no member of Reorganized CAI's management team had discussions, or was otherwise materially involved, either before or after the Consummation Date. The Trigger Events include, among other events, a material third party acquisition or merger, material equity investment in CAI, or joint venture, and/or a material take-or-pay arrangement or other material third party transaction with respect to the use of CAI's spectrum, and/or any other third party transaction having a substantially similar economic effect as the foregoing. The price at which Management Options can be exercised will be established on the Consummation Date in accordance with a formula based on the deemed recovery of the holders of Class CAI-5 Claims (the "Bondholder Recovery"). In the aggregate, based on the proposed Plan, Management Options representing up to 300,000 shares (2% of the outstanding shares) will be exercisable at $4.96, reflecting a 60% Bondholder Recovery; Management Options representing up to 300,000 shares will be exercisable at $6.78, reflecting a 70% Bondholder Recovery; Management Options representing up to 300,000 shares will be exercisable at $8.79, reflecting a 80% Bondholder Recovery, and Management Options representing 600,000 shares (4% of the outstanding shares) will be exercisable at $10.81, reflecting a 90% Bondholder Recovery. For this purpose, the Bondholder Recovery equals the percentage of $275 million represented by the sum of: (i) the accreted value of the New Senior Notes on the date of issuance thereof and (ii) the value of the New Common Stock received by holders of Class CAI-5 Claims under the Plan. Vesting will be accelerated for 50% of the Management Options if the average trading price of the New Common Stock is at or above $12.82, corresponding to a 100% Bondholder Recovery, for 60 consecutive trading days following the Consummation Date (assuming an appropriate average trading volume). The unvested portion of the Management Options will be reduced by 50% (on a pro rata basis from each price tranche) after the 18th monthly anniversary of the Consummation Date. The unvested portion of the Management Options will be reduced by 100% after the 24th monthly anniversary of the Consummation Date. In the event of a termination of employment prior to the 9 month anniversary of the Consummation Date other than for Cause or in the event of a voluntary termination for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreements), the Participant's Management Options continue unaffected by the termination and remain subject to the terms of the Management Option Plan, provided that 50% of such Management Options, to the extent exercisable, must be exercised within six (6) months of the effective date of the termination of employment. Any of that 50% portion of the Participant's Management Options that are not exercisable within such six (6) month period will thereafter lapse. If a Participant's employment has not terminated within the 9 months following the Consummation Date, all of that Participant's Management Options will continue unaffected by any subsequent termination of employment and will remain subject to the terms of the Management Option Plan. THIS SOLICITATION OF THE HOLDERS OF SENIOR NOTES, WHO, IN THE AGGREGATE, WILL RECEIVE 91% OF THE NEW COMMON STOCK, WILL BE DEEMED A SOLICITATION FOR APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT OPTION PLAN. CAI BELIEVES THAT THE CONFIRMATION ORDER SHOULD CONSTITUTE APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT OPTION PLAN FOR PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 422 AND 162(m) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "TAX CODE"). THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, THAT THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE WILL AGREE WITH SUCH POSITION. V. REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION; RECOMMENDATION Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that, in order for the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan as a consensual plan, the holders of Claims in each Impaired Class who cast votes in favor of the Plan must (a) hold at least 2/3 in amount of the Claims of the holders in such Class who actually cast votes with respect to the Plan and (b) comprise more than one-half in number of the holders in such Class who actually cast votes with respect to the Plan (together, the "Requisite Acceptances"). The Solicitation is being conducted at this time in order to obtain (prior to the filing of voluntary petitions for reorganization of the Companies under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) the Requisite Acceptances. The Companies anticipate that by conducting the Solicitation in advance of commencing the Chapter 11 Case, the duration of the Chapter 11 Case will be significantly shortened, and the administration of the case, which otherwise can be lengthy, complex, and extremely expensive, will be significantly shortened, greatly simplified, and much less costly. In light of the significant benefits to be attained by the Companies' Impaired Creditors pursuant to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, each of the Companies' Boards of Directors recommends that such Creditors vote to accept the Plan. The Boards have reached this decision after considering the alternatives to the Plan that are available to the Companies and their likely effect on the Companies' business operations, creditors, and shareholders. These alternatives include liquidation of the Companies under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or a reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code without pre-petition solicitation. The Boards determined, after consulting with financial and legal advisors, that the Plan would result in a larger distribution to creditors than would any other Chapter 11 reorganization or a liquidation under Chapter 7. For a comparison of estimated distributions under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and under the Plan, see Section XIV.C -- "Feasibility of the Plan and the Best Interests of Creditors Test - -- Liquidation Analysis." The Boards also concluded that initiating a Chapter 11 case without pre-petition solicitation would result in a significant delay in confirmation of a plan, which, compared to confirmation of the Plan, would result in higher fees and expenses and increase the possibility that a reorganization case would damage the Companies' businesses, and would increase the possibility that the Companies would not be able to reorganize and therefore would be forced to liquidate. In addition, the Companies were advised that the DIP Facility would be available only in the context of a prepackaged plan. For all of these reasons, the Boards support the Plan and urge all Impaired Creditors to accept and support the Plan. ALTHOUGH THE PLAN AND VARIOUS RELATED MATTERS REFERRED TO IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY AND DISCUSSED WITH MLGAF, THE UNOFFICIAL NOTEHOLDERS' COMMITTEE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, AND REFLECT TO SOME EXTENT THE VIEWS OF THOSE PARTIES, THE UNOFFICIAL NOTEHOLDERS' COMMITTEE HAS NOT APPROVED OR ENDORSED THE PLAN OR RECOMMENDED THAT OTHER HOLDERS OF SENIOR NOTES VOTE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN. VI. SUMMARY OF VOTING PROCEDURES This Disclosure Statement, including all Exhibits hereto, together with the related materials included herewith, are being furnished to all known holders of Impaired Claims against CAI and PCT, including (i) holders of Senior Notes whose names (or the names of whose nominees) appear as of the Voting Record Date (as defined in the next paragraph) on the securityholder lists maintained by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Senior Note Indenture or, if applicable, who are listed as participants in a clearing agency's security position listing and (ii) all other holders of Impaired Claims known to CAI and PCT. IF SUCH ENTITIES DO NOT HOLD FOR THEIR OWN ACCOUNT, THEY SHOULD PROVIDE COPIES OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE PLAN AND, IF APPLICABLE, APPROPRIATE BALLOTS TO THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS. All votes to accept or reject the Plan must be cast by using the ballot (the "Ballot") enclosed with this Disclosure Statement or, in the case of a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee holding Senior Notes in its own name on behalf of a beneficial owner, or any agent thereof (each, a "Nominee"), the master ballot (the "Master Ballot") provided to such Nominee under separate cover (or manually executed facsimiles thereof). No other votes will be counted. Consistent with the provisions of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3018, the Companies have fixed June 23, 1998 (the "Voting Record Date") as the date for the determination of holders of record of Impaired Claims entitled to receive a copy of this Disclosure Statement and the related materials and to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Ballots and Master Ballots must be RECEIVED by the Voting Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on July 27, 1998, unless the Companies, in their sole discretion, and from time to time, extend, by oral or written notice to the Voting Agent, such date, in which event the period during which Ballots and Master Ballots will be accepted will terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such extended date (in either case, the "Voting Deadline"). Except to the extent requested by the Companies or as permitted by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3018, Ballots and Master Ballots received after the Voting Deadline will not be counted or otherwise used in connection with the Companies' request for confirmation of the Plan (or any permitted modification thereof). In addition, the Companies reserve the right to use acceptances of the Plan received in this Solicitation to seek confirmation of the Plan under any other circumstances, including, without limitation, the filing of an involuntary bankruptcy petition against CAI or PCT or the voluntary commencement of a non-prepackaged Chapter 11 case by CAI or PCT. After the Consummation Date, CAI (or its agent) will furnish to each Senior Note Holder a letter of transmittal for remittance to CAI (or its agent) of the certificates which represent such holder's Senior Notes. Holders whose Senior Notes are not remitted in proper form for transfer together with a properly completed letter of transmittal will not receive their Pro Rata share of New Senior Notes and New Common Stock. See Section VIII.D.8 -- "Summary of the Plan -- Summary of Other Provisions of the Plan -- Surrender and Cancellation of Securities or Instruments." The Companies reserve the absolute right to amend the Plan either before or after the Petition Date. Amendments to the Plan that do not materially and adversely affect the treatment of Claims and Interests may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing without the necessity of resoliciting votes. In the event resolicitation is required, the Companies will furnish new Ballots and/or Master Ballots to be used to vote to accept or reject the Plan, as amended. Although the Solicitation relates to voluntary petitions for reorganization of the Companies under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, no such filings have yet been made. The Companies intend to file their Chapter 11 petitions when the Requisite Acceptances have been received or when the Companies otherwise determine that such filing is necessary or appropriate to protect their property and interests. In addition, the Companies expressly reserve the right to extend, by oral or written notice to the Voting Agent, the Voting Deadline and the Voting Record Date until the Requisite Acceptances have been received. VII. ANTICIPATED EVENTS DURING THE CHAPTER 11 CASE A. Commencement Of The Chapter 11 Case If, in response to the Solicitation occurring pursuant to this Disclosure Statement, the Companies receive the Requisite Acceptances, the Companies intend to commence promptly the Chapter 11 Case. From and after the Petition Date, the Companies will continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Companies do not expect the Chapter 11 Case to be protracted. To expedite their emergence from Chapter 11, the Companies intend to seek, among other things, the relief detailed below from the Bankruptcy Court on the Petition Date. If granted, this relief will facilitate the administration of the Chapter 11 Case; there can be no assurance, however, that the Bankruptcy Court will grant the requested relief. 1. Applications for Retention of the Companies' Professionals; Ordinary Course Professionals The Companies intend to seek Bankruptcy Court authority to retain and employ certain professionals to represent them and assist them in connection with the Chapter 11 Case. Some of these professionals were intimately involved with the negotiation and development of the Plan and include, among others: (i) Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, as counsel for the Companies; (ii) Day, Berry & Howard LLP, as special counsel to the Companies; (iii) BT Alex. Brown, as financial advisor to the Companies; (iv) Coopers & Lybrand LLP, as accountants to the Companies; and (v) The Altman Group, as solicitation and noticing agents for the Companies. The Companies also intend to seek authority to retain certain professionals to assist with the operations of their businesses in the ordinary course; these so-called "ordinary course professionals" will not be involved in the administration of the Chapter 11 Case. 2. Motion to Waive Filing of Schedules and Statement of Financial Affairs Section 521 of the Bankruptcy Code and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1007 direct that, unless otherwise ordered by the court, debtors must prepare and file certain schedules of claims, executory contracts and unexpired leases and related information (the "Schedules") and a statement of financial affairs (the "Statement") within 15 days of the commencement of a Chapter 11 case. The purpose of this requirement is to provide a debtor's creditors, equity security holders and other interested parties with sufficient information to make informed decisions with respect to the debtor's reorganization. In appropriate circumstances, however, a bankruptcy court may modify or dispense with the filing of the Schedules and the Statement pursuant to Section 521 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Companies believe that such circumstances would exist in its Chapter 11 Case and that they should not be required to file the Statement and the Schedules. The Companies thus intend to request that the Bankruptcy Court waive the necessity of filing the Schedules and the Statement. 3. Motion to Mail Notices and Provide Publication Notice of Section 341 Meeting to Unimpaired Creditors Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Rules, the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, or another party that the Bankruptcy Court may direct, must provide notice of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case and of the first meeting of creditors held pursuant to Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Section 341 Meeting") to all creditors. In addition, at least two other notices, notice of the hearing to approve the Disclosure Statement and consider confirmation of the Plan and notice of the entry of an order confirming the Plan must be given to all creditors and equity security holders. Due to the size of the Chapter 11 Case and the large number of Creditors and Interest holders, the Companies will request that CAI, or its authorized noticing agent, be authorized to mail all required notices in the Chapter 11 Case. In addition, because all classes of Claims and Interests other than Classes CAI-5, CAI-6, CAI-7, CAI-8, and PCT-5 are not Impaired under the Plan and will pass through the Chapter 11 Case unaffected, the Companies will request that they be authorized to provide only publication notice of the events set forth above, in several newspapers of national circulation, to holders of Unimpaired Claims. 4. Motion to Approve Pre-Petition Solicitation and to Schedule Confirmation Hearing To facilitate the prompt confirmation and consummation of the Plan, the Companies intend to immediately seek an order scheduling the hearing on (i) approval of the pre-petition solicitation procedures, including this Disclosure Statement, (ii) approval of a short form disclosure statement and summary of the Plan (the "Short Form Disclosure Statement") to holders of unclassified and Unimpaired Claims, as well as Claims and Interests that are not entitled to receive or retain any property or interest in property under the Plan, and (iii) confirmation of the Plan, for a date immediately following the end of the notice period therefor, or as soon thereafter as the Bankruptcy Court's calendar permits. 5. Motion to Continue Using Existing Cash Management System Because the Companies expect the entire Chapter 11 Case to last for less than three months, and because of the administrative hardship that any operating changes would impose on the Companies and the other Subsidiaries, the Companies intend to seek Bankruptcy Court authority to continue using their existing cash management system, bank accounts (which are subject to the security interests and liens of MLGAF) and business forms and to follow their current internal investment and deposit guidelines. Absent the Bankruptcy Court's authorization of the continued use of the cash management system, cash flow among CAI and the Subsidiaries would be severely impeded, to the detriment of CAI's estate and creditors, as well as PCT and the other Subsidiaries. Continued use of the existing cash management system will facilitate the Companies' smooth and orderly transition into Chapter 11, minimize the disruption to their businesses while in Chapter 11, and expedite their emergence from Chapter 11. Requiring the Companies to adopt and implement a new cash management system would likely increase the costs of the Chapter 11 Case, primarily as a result of the significant time and expense associated with the transition to a new cash management system. For the same reasons, requiring the Companies to cancel their existing bank accounts and establish new accounts or requiring them to create new business forms would only frustrate the Companies' efforts to reorganize expeditiously. 6. Motion for Authority to Pay Pre-Petition Trade Claims in the Ordinary Course of Business Trade Claims are defined in the Plan as pre-petition Unsecured Claims against CAI or PCT arising from or with respect to the delivery of goods or services to CAI or PCT in the ordinary course of business; they are among the Claims included in the classes of Claims denominated Class CAI-3 General Unsecured Claims and Class PCT-3 General Unsecured Claims. Notwithstanding provisions of the Bankruptcy Code that would otherwise require the Companies to defer payment of Trade Claims until the Distribution Date, the Companies intend to seek authority from the Bankruptcy Court to pay, in the ordinary course of business, the Trade Claims of those providers of goods and services that agree, in writing, to continue to provide the Companies with customary trade terms on an ongoing basis. Because certain goods and services are essential to the Companies' businesses, the relief sought in this motion is critical to the Companies' uninterrupted operations during the Chapter 11 Case. 7. Motion for Authority to Pay Pre-Petition Employee Wages and Benefits The Companies believe that any delay in paying pre-petition compensation or benefits would destroy their relationships with employees and irreparably harm employee morale at a time when the dedication, confidence and cooperation of the Companies' employees is most critical. Accordingly, the Companies will seek authority to pay compensation and benefits that had accrued but remained unpaid as of the Petition Date. 8. Motion for Authority to Incur Post-Petition Indebtedness and Use Cash Collateral If the Companies elect to commence the Chapter 11 Case, CAI expects to obtain immediate short-term working capital financing in the form of a debtor-in-possession facility (the "DIP Facility") from MLGAF, as well as Bankruptcy Court authorization to use MLGAF's cash collateral (the "Cash Collateral"). Prompt Bankruptcy Court approval of the DIP Facility and the use of the Cash Collateral will facilitate the normal operations of the Companies and the other Subsidiaries and the maintenance of strong relationships with the Companies' vendors and suppliers during the Chapter 11 Case. CAI believes that the DIP Facility likely will be conditioned upon CAI's granting MLGAF, with Bankruptcy Court approval, a priority over virtually all other claims in the Chapter 11 Case, including Administrative Claims, and security interests in or liens on substantially all of the assets of CAI and the Guarantor Subsidiaries. Based on currently projected financing needs, CAI expects to seek and obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of a DIP Facility in the aggregate amount of $60 million (which amount includes the conversion of approximately $45,000,000 in Secured Notes, plus accrued interests and fees, to DIP Notes). Under the Bankruptcy Rules, this facility likely will be approved by interim order on or about the Petition Date, and by Final Order approximately two to three weeks later. There can be no assurance, however, that the Bankruptcy Court will approve, either by interim or Final Order, the DIP Facility or the use of the Cash Collateral. 9. Motion for Authority for the Companies to Sell MDU Assets to OnePoint The Companies have entered into a binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") with Mid-Atlantic Telcom Plus, d/b/a OnePoint Communications (AOnePoint@), providing for the sale by the Companies of their MDU Assets to OnePoint for $6,000,000 in cash. Consummation of the sale is subject to the satisfaction of a variety of conditions, including Bankruptcy Court approval. Accordingly, the Companies intend to seek immediately an order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing, among other things, the sale of the MDU Assets and the assumption and assignment to OnePoint of the contracts forming the basis of the MDU Assets. Prompt approval of the sale and the assumption and assignment of the contracts will not only permit the Companies to maximize the value of the MDU Assets by consummating expeditiously the transactions contemplated by the Letter of Intent, which, in turn, would provide the Companies with an additional source of funds for working capital purposes, but will alleviate the possibility of a diminution in value of the MDU Assets that could result if the sale were delayed until confirmation and consummation of the Plan. B. Anticipated Timetable For The Chapter 11 Case Following the Petition Date, the Companies expect the Chapter 11 Case to proceed on the following estimated timetable. There can be no assurance, however, that the Bankruptcy Court's orders to be entered on the Petition Date will permit the Chapter 11 Case to proceed as expeditiously as anticipated. The Companies anticipate that the hearing to consider the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan would occur 30-45 days after the Petition Date. Assuming that the Plan is confirmed at that hearing, the Plan provides that the Consummation Date will be the Business Day on which all conditions to the consummation of the Plan (as set forth in Article X.B of the Plan) have been satisfied or waived (as provided in Article X.C of the Plan). See Section VIII.E.4 -- "Summary of the Plan -- Conditions to Confirmation and Consummation." Based upon information currently available to them, the Companies believe that the Consummation Date could occur as early as ten days following the Confirmation Date, although the process of obtaining FCC approval of the transfer of control of CAI and CS Wireless could significantly delay the Consummation Date. Under this timetable, the Companies would emerge from Chapter 11 within 45 to 60 days after the Petition Date. There can be no assurance, however, that this projected timetable can be achieved. VIII. SUMMARY OF THE PLAN A. Introduction Chapter 11 is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. Under Chapter 11, a debtor is authorized to reorganize its business for the benefit of itself and its creditors and shareholders. In addition to permitting rehabilitation of the debtor, Chapter 11 promotes equality of treatment of creditors and equity security holders who hold substantially similar claims against or interests in the debtor and its assets. In furtherance of these two goals, upon the filing of a petition for relief under Chapter 11, Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for an automatic stay of substantially all acts and proceedings against the debtor and its property, including all attempts to collect claims or enforce liens that arose prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 case. The consummation of a plan of reorganization is the principal objective of a Chapter 11 case. A plan of reorganization sets forth the means for satisfying claims against and interests in a debtor. Confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court makes the plan binding upon the debtor, any issuer of securities under the plan, any person or entity acquiring property under the plan, and any creditor of or equity security holder in the debtor, whether or not such creditor or equity security holder (i) is impaired under or has accepted the plan or (ii) receives or retains any property under the plan. Subject to certain limited exceptions and other than as provided in the plan itself or the confirmation order, the confirmation order discharges the debtor from any debt that arose prior to the date of confirmation of the plan and substitutes therefor the obligations specified under the confirmed plan, and terminates all rights and interests of equity security holders. THE REMAINDER OF THIS SECTION PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF THE STRUCTURE AND MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPANIES' PLAN, AND OF THE CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS UNDER THE PLAN, AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE PLAN (AS WELL AS THE EXHIBITS THERETO AND DEFINITIONS THEREIN), WHICH IS ANNEXED TO THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AS EXHIBIT A. THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT INCLUDE SUMMARIES OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE PLAN AND IN DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO THEREIN. THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT DO NOT PURPORT TO BE PRECISE OR COMPLETE STATEMENTS OF ALL THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN OR DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO THEREIN, AND REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE PLAN AND TO SUCH DOCUMENTS FOR THE FULL AND COMPLETE STATEMENTS OF SUCH TERMS AND PROVISIONS. THE PLAN ITSELF AND THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO THEREIN CONTROL THE ACTUAL TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND INTERESTS IN THE COMPANIES UNDER THE PLAN AND WILL, UPON OCCURRENCE OF THE CONSUMMATION DATE, BE BINDING UPON ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND INTERESTS IN CAI AND PCT, THEIR ESTATES, REORGANIZED CAI AND REORGANIZED PCT, ALL PARTIES RECEIVING PROPERTY UNDER THE PLAN, AND OTHER PARTIES IN INTEREST. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE PLAN OR ANY OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENT, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE TERMS OF THE PLAN AND/OR SUCH OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENT WILL CONTROL. B. Voting On The Plan 1. Voting Deadline A copy of this Disclosure Statement with the annexed Plan (including all Exhibits to the Plan and this Disclosure Statement) is being distributed to all Impaired Creditors. In addition, a Ballot, together with a postage-paid return envelope, is enclosed with each copy of this Disclosure Statement being delivered to those Impaired Creditors that are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Master Ballots will be provided under separate cover to Nominees. In order to be counted, all Ballots and Master Ballots indicating acceptance or rejection of the Plan MUST BE RECEIVED by the Voting Agent at its address set forth in Section XVI.J -- "The Solicitation; Voting Procedures -- Further Information; Additional Copies" of this Disclosure Statement no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on July 27, 1998 (the "Voting Deadline"), unless the Voting Deadline is extended by the Companies. 2. Creditors Entitled To Vote On The Plan As more fully described below, the Plan designates eight separate classes of Claims against and Interests in CAI and six separate classes of Claims against and Interests in PCT (other than DIP Facility Claims, Administrative Claims, and Priority Tax Claims). See Section VIII.C -- "Summary of the Plan -- Certain Matters Regarding Classification And Treatment Of Claims And Interests." Only the holders of Impaired Claims in Classes CAI-5, CAI-6, and PCT-5 are being solicited and are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. In addition to holders of DIP Facility Claims, Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims (which are not classified under the Plan), pursuant to Section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, holders of Claims or Interests in Classes CAI-1, CAI-2, CAI-3, CAI-4, PCT-1, PCT-2, PCT-3, PCT-4, and PCT-6 are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, and are deemed to have accepted the Plan, because such Classes are Unimpaired under the Plan. Pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, Classes CAI-7 and CAI-8 are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, and are deemed to have rejected the Plan, because the holders of Impaired Claims or Interests in such Classes will neither receive nor retain any property or interest in property under the Plan. 3. Vote Required For Class Acceptance The Bankruptcy Court will determine whether sufficient acceptances have been received to confirm the Plan. An Impaired Class of Claims will have accepted the Plan if the holders of Claims in that Class voting in favor of the Plan (i) hold at least 2/3 in aggregate amount of the Claims of the holders in such Class who actually cast votes with respect to the Plan and (ii) comprise more than one-half in number of the holders in such Class who actually cast votes with respect to the Plan. 4. Counting Of Ballots And Master Ballots For Determining Acceptance Of The Plan The Companies intend to count all Ballots and Master Ballots received prior to the Voting Deadline for purposes of determining whether each Impaired Class entitled to vote has accepted or rejected the Plan. Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3018(b) prescribes the conditions that must be satisfied in order to count the ballots solicited with respect to a plan of reorganization prior to the commencement of a Chapter 11 case. Rule 3018(b) requires that (i) the Chapter 11 plan must have been disseminated to substantially all impaired creditors in the class(es) entitled to vote, (ii) the time prescribed for voting on the plan must not have been unreasonably short, and (iii) the solicitation must have been conducted in accordance with Section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, which requires that the solicitation be conducted in compliance with all applicable non-bankruptcy laws, rules, or regulations or, if there are no such applicable laws, rules or regulations, that the disclosure statement with respect to the plan contains "adequate information," as defined in Section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 1125(a) defines "adequate information" as information of a kind and in sufficient detail as far as is reasonably practicable in light of the nature and history of a company and the condition of such company's books and records, that would enable a hypothetical reasonable investor typical of holders of claims or equity interests of the relevant class to make an informed judgment about the plan of reorganization. The Companies believe that all of the requirements of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3018(b) will be satisfied. This Disclosure Statement and the Plan (annexed hereto as Exhibit A), together with all of the accompanying materials, are being transmitted to all known Impaired Creditors. The solicitation period determined by the Board for voting on the Plan is approximately 20 Business Days, which is approximately the time normally prescribed by the SEC for an exchange offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act. The Companies believe that this Disclosure Statement contains adequate information (within the meaning of Section 1125(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code) for all Impaired Creditors entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan to make an informed judgment about the Plan. C. Certain Matters Regarding Classification And Treatment Of Claims And Interests Section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan of reorganization must classify the claims and interest of a debtor's creditors and equity interest holders. In accordance with Section 1123, the Plan divides Claims and Interests into Classes and sets forth the treatment for each Class (other than DIP Facility Claims, Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims which, pursuant to Section 1123(a)(1), need not be and have not been classified). The Companies also are required, under Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, to classify Claims against and Interests in CAI and PCT into Classes that contain Claims and Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims and Interests in such Class. The Companies believe that the Plan has classified all Claims and Interests in compliance with the provisions of Section 1122, but once the Chapter 11 Case has been commenced, it is possible that a holder of a Claim or Interest may challenge the Companies' classification of Claims and Interests and that the Bankruptcy Court may find that a different classification is required for the Plan to be confirmed. In that event, the Companies intend, to the extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan, and the Bankruptcy Court, to make such reasonable modifications of the classifications under the Plan to permit confirmation and to use the Plan acceptances received in this Solicitation for purposes of obtaining the approval of the reconstituted Class or Classes of which each accepting holder ultimately is deemed to be a member. Any such reclassification could adversely affect the Class in which such holder initially was a member, or any other Class under the Plan, by changing the composition of such Class and the vote required of that Class for approval of the Plan. Furthermore, a reclassification of a Claim or Interest after approval of the Plan could necessitate a resolicitation of acceptances of the Plan. The amount of any Impaired Claim that ultimately is allowed by the Bankruptcy Court may vary from the estimated allowed amount of such Claim and, accordingly, the total Claims ultimately allowed by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to each Impaired Class of Claims may also vary from the estimates contained herein with respect to the aggregate Claims in any Impaired Class. Thus, the value of the property that ultimately will be received by a particular holder of an Allowed Claim under the Plan may be adversely or favorably affected by the aggregate amount of Claims ultimately allowed in the applicable Class. There can be no assurance that the actual aggregate amounts of Allowed Claims in Impaired Classes will not materially exceed the aggregate amounts estimated by the Companies. Thus, no representation can be or is being made with respect to the accuracy of the expected percentage recovery by the holder of an Allowed Claim in any particular Class. The classification of Claims and Interests and the nature of distributions to members of each Class are summarized below. The Companies believe that the consideration, if any, provided under the Plan to holders of Claims and Interests reflects an appropriate resolution of their Claims and Interests, taking into account the differing nature and priority (including applicable contractual subordination) of such Claims and Interests. The Bankruptcy Court must find, however, that a number of statutory tests are met before it may confirm the Plan. See Section VIII.E -- "Summary of the Plan -- Confirmation of the Plan." Many of these tests are designed to protect the interests of holders of Claims or Interests who are not entitled to vote on the Plan, or do not vote to accept the Plan, but who will be bound by the provisions of the Plan if it is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. The "cramdown" provisions of Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for example, permit confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan in certain circumstances even if the plan has not been accepted by all impaired classes of claims and interests. See Section VIII.E -- "Summary of the Plan -- Confirmation of the Plan." Because the holders of Claims and Interests in Classes CAI-7 and CAI-8 will receive no distributions under the Plan on account of their Claims and Interests and, accordingly, will be deemed to have rejected the Plan, the Companies intend to request confirmation pursuant to the cramdown provisions of Section 1129(b). Although the Companies believe that the Plan could be confirmed under Section 1129(b), there can be no assurance that the requirements of such section would be satisfied. 1. Unclassified Claims (a) DIP Facility Claims (Unimpaired) DIP Facility Claims consist of the Claims of MLGAF arising under the DIP Facility. The DIP Facility will be comprised of the combined deemed and actual purchase on the date of closing of $60,000,000 of DIP Notes. The DIP Notes will consist of promissory notes issued under the DIP Facility Agreement in the amount of (i) the Secured Notes issued under the existing Note Purchase Agreement (which Secured Notes will be converted into DIP Notes as if there had been a purchase under the DIP Facility Agreement in an amount equal to (a) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Secured Notes as of the Petition Date plus (b) all accrued interest and fees), plus (ii) new notes in an amount equal to $60,000,000 minus the amount described in (i) above. Pursuant to the terms of the DIP Facility, CAI's obligations to MLGAF under the DIP Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of CAI and each Subsidiary guarantor of CAI's obligations under the DIP Facility and are entitled to priority over all other expenses of administration in the Chapter 11 Case, subject only to a carve-out (the "Carve-Out") in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 for (i) following the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event that would constitute an Event of Default with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, the payment of Allowed Professional Fees incurred by the Companies and any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Case or the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee (in addition to compensation previously awarded, whether or not paid), (ii) fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1930, and (iii) fees payable to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court. Under the Plan, the holder of an Allowed DIP Facility Claim will receive cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed DIP Facility Claim or such other treatment as to which CAI and such holder have agreed upon in writing. As of the date of this Disclosure Statement, CAI has not finalized the terms of the proposed DIP Facility with MLGAF. Accordingly, CAI cannot, and does not, make any representations with respect to the estimated amount of DIP Facility Claims that will be Allowed in the Chapter 11 Case, if commenced. (b) Administrative Claims (Unimpaired) The Plan provides that Administrative Claims are Unimpaired. Administrative Claims consist of the actual and necessary costs and expenses of the Chapter 11 Case that are allowed under Sections 503(b) and 507(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. They include, among other things, the cost of operating the Companies' businesses following the Petition Date (e.g., the post-petition salaries and other benefits for the Companies' employees, post-petition rent, amounts owed to vendors providing goods and services to the Companies during the Chapter 11 Case, tax obligations incurred after the Petition Date, certain statutory fees and charges assessed under 28 U.S.C. ' 1930) and the actual, reasonable fees and expenses of the professionals retained by the Companies and the Creditors' Committee, if one is appointed, or the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee in the Chapter 11 Case. All payments to professionals in connection with the Chapter 11 Case for compensation and reimbursement of expenses and all payments to reimburse expenses of members of the Creditors' Committee (if one were to be appointed) would be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules and would be subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court as being reasonable. Administrative expenses representing liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Companies, consistent with past practice, will be paid by the Companies in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular transaction and any related agreements and instruments. All other holders of Allowed Administrative Claims will receive Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Administrative Claim or such other treatment as to which the Companies and such holder have agreed upon in writing. CAI, which is a holding company, has relatively few direct operating expenses, other than payroll and rent. PCT is an Operating Subsidiary and, accordingly, has significantly more operating expenses than CAI. Nevertheless, the Companies anticipate that most of the Administrative Claims against CAI and PCT will be paid as they come due during the Chapter 11 Case and that the Administrative Claims to be paid on the Consummation Date will, for the most part, consist of the allowed but unpaid fees and expenses incurred by professionals retained in the Chapter 11 Case. As of the date of this Disclosure Statement, the Companies have not commenced the Chapter 11 Case. Accordingly, the Companies cannot, and do not, make any representations with respect to the estimated amount of Administrative Claims that will be Allowed in the Chapter 11 Case, if commenced. (c) Priority Tax Claims (Unimpaired) Priority Tax Claims are Unsecured Claims asserted by federal and state governmental authorities for taxes specified in Section 507(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, such as certain income taxes, property taxes, excise taxes, and employment and withholding taxes. These Unsecured Claims are given a statutory priority in right of payment. The Plan provides that Priority Tax Claims, if any, are Unimpaired. Under the Plan, except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim has been paid by CAI or PCT prior to the Consummation Date or has agreed in writing to a different treatment, each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim will be paid, at the sole discretion of Reorganized CAI or Reorganized PCT, as the case may be, (i) in full by Reorganized CAI or Reorganized PCT, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any law, regulation, agreement, instrument or other document relating to such claims or (ii) deferred Cash payments, having a value as of the Consummation Date equal to such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, over a period not exceeding six years after the date of assessment of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, plus interest on the unpaid portion thereof at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum from the Consummation Date through the date of payment thereof. Cash payments of principal will be made in annual installments equal to ten percent (10%) of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the first payment to be due on or before the first anniversary of the Consummation Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, and subsequent payments to be due on the anniversary of the first payment date or as soon thereafter as is practicable; provided, however, that any installments remaining unpaid on the date that is six years after the date of assessment of the tax that is the basis for the Allowed Priority Tax Claim will be paid on the first Business Day following such date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment; and provided further, that the Companies reserve the right to pay any Allowed Priority Tax Claim, or any remaining balance of any Allowed Priority Tax Claim, in full at any time on or after the Distribution Date without premium or penalty; and provided further, that no holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim will be entitled to any payments on account of any pre-Consummation Date interest accrued on or penalty arising after the Petition Date with respect to or in connection with such Allowed Priority Tax Claim. The Companies estimate that the aggregate amount of Allowed Priority Tax Claims will be approximately $160,000. 2. Unimpaired Classes of Claims Against CAI (a) Class CAI-1: Other Priority Claims Class CAI-1 Other Priority Claims include Claims against CAI, other than DIP Facility Claims, Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, that are entitled to priority under Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, such as unsecured Claims for accrued employee compensation, including vacation, severance, and sick-leave pay, earned within 90 days before the Petition Date, to the extent of $4,300 per employee, and contributions to employee benefit plans arising from services rendered within the 180-day period preceding the Petition Date, but only for such plans to the extent of the number of employees covered by such plans multiplied by $4,300, less the aggregate amount paid to such employees for accrued employee compensation. Under the Plan, the holder of an Allowed Other Priority Claim against CAI will receive (a) Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Class CAI-1 Other Priority Claim or (b) such other treatment as to which CAI and such holder have agreed upon in writing. CAI anticipates that it will have few, if any, Allowed Other Priority Claims because it intends to seek Bankruptcy Court approval on the Petition Date to continue to pay all employee claims in the ordinary course. (b) Class CAI-2: Secured Claims Each holder of a Class CAI-2 Secured Claim will be treated as a separate class for all purposes under the Plan, and each holder of an Allowed Class CAI-2 Secured Claim will receive the treatment set forth below. To the extent, if any, that the value of the collateral securing a Class CAI-2 Secured Claim is less than the total amount of such Claim, the difference shall be treated as a Class CAI-3 General Unsecured Claim. CAI specifically reserves all rights to challenge the validity, nature and perfection of, and to avoid pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable law, any purported liens and security interests. (i) Class CAI-2.01: Bott Secured Claims Class CAI-2.01 consists of all Claims against CAI, directly or indirectly arising from or under, or relating in any way to, the Bott Notes, and secured by the Bott Collateral, but only to the extent of the value (if any) of the Bott Affiliates' interest in CAI's interest in the Bott Collateral. Under the Plan, the holder of an Allowed Bott Secured Claim, will, in the sole discretion of CAI, (a) receive Cash in an amount equal to such Allowed Bott Secured Claim, (b) have its Allowed Bott Secured Claim Reinstated, or (c) receive such other treatment as to which CAI and such holder shall have agreed upon in writing. CAI estimates that on the Petition Date, Allowed Class 2.01 Bott Secured Claims will aggregate approximately $3,841,000. (ii) Class CAI-2.02: Mester Secured Claims Class CAI-2.02 consists of all Claims against CAI, directly or indirectly arising from or under, or relating in any way to, the Mester Notes and secured by the Mester Collateral, but only to the extent of the value (if any) of Mester's interest in CAI's interest in the Mester Collateral. Under the Plan, the holder of an Allowed Mester Secured Claim will, in the sole discretion of CAI, (a) receive Cash in an amount equal to such Allowed Secured Mester Claim, (b) have its Allowed Secured Mester Claim Reinstated, or (c) receive such other treatment as to which CAI and such holder shall have agreed upon in writing. CAI estimates that on the Petition Date, Allowed Class 2.02 Mester Secured Claims will aggregate approximately $400,000. (iii) Class CAI-2.03: Other Secured Claims Class CAI-2.03 consists of all Secured Claims against CAI other than the Secured Claims included in Classes 2.01 through 2.02, but only to the extent of the value (if any) of any collateral held by or granted to a holder of a Secured Claim to secure such Claim. Under the Plan, the holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim will, in the sole discretion of CAI, (a) receive Cash in an amount equal to such Allowed Other Secured Claim, (b) receive deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed amount of such Allowed Other Secured Claim, of a value, as of the Consummation Date, of at least the value of such holder's interest in CAI's Estate's interest in the collateral securing the Allowed Other Secured Claim, (c) upon abandonment by CAI, receive the collateral securing such holder's Allowed Other Secured Claim, (d) receive payments or liens amounting to the indubitable equivalent of the value of such holder's interest in CAI's Estate's interest in the collateral securing the Allowed Other Secured Claim, (e) have its Allowed Other Secured Claim Reinstated, or (f) receive such other treatment as CAI and such holder have agreed upon in writing. CAI estimates that on the Petition Date, the aggregate amount of Allowed Class CAI-2.03 Other Secured Claims will be de minimis. (c) Class CAI-3: General Unsecured Claims General Unsecured Claims consist of each Claim against CAI that is not a DIP Facility Claim, Administrative Claim, Priority Tax Claim, Other Priority Claim, Secured Claim, Senior Note Claim, Intercompany Claim, Subordinated Note Claim, or Securities Claim. Under the Plan, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim against CAI will receive in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for such Allowed General Unsecured Claim (a) treatment that leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such Allowed General Unsecured Claim entitles the holder of such Claim; (b) notwithstanding any contractual provision or applicable law that entitles the holder of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim to demand or receive accelerated payment of such Claim after the occurrence of a default, treatment that (i) cures any such default that occurred before or after the Petition Date, other than a default of a kind specified in Section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) reinstates the maturity of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim as such maturity existed before such default, (iii) compensates the holder of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim for any damages incurred as a result of any reasonable reliance by such holder on such contractual provision or such applicable law, and (iv) does not otherwise alter the legal, equitable, or contractual rights to which such Allowed General Unsecured Claim entitles the holder of such Claim; or (c) such other treatment as to which CAI and such holder have agreed upon in writing. CAI estimates that on the Petition Date, Allowed Class CAI-3 General Unsecured Claims will aggregate no more than $5,000,000. (d) Class CAI-4: Intercompany Claims Class CAI-4 consists of all Claims against CAI held by a direct or indirect Subsidiary of CAI, including, without limitation, any account reflecting intercompany book entries by a Subsidiary with respect to CAI, any Claim not reflected in such book entries that is held by a Subsidiary, and any derivative Claim asserted by or on behalf of a Subsidiary against CAI. Under the Plan, each holder of an Allowed Intercompany Claim against CAI, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for such Allowed Intercompany Claim, will, in the sole discretion of CAI, (a) receive treatment that leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such Allowed Intercompany Claim entitles the holder of such Claim, (b) be Reinstated, or (c) receive such other treatment as CAI and such holder have agreed upon in writing. CAI estimates that on the Petition Date, Allowed Class CAI-4 Intercompany Claims will be de minimis. 3. Impaired Classes of Claims Against CAI (a) Class CAI-5: Senior Note Claims Class CAI-5 consists of all Claims of a Senior Note Holder arising under or as a result of the Senior Notes. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, on the Consummation Date the Senior Note Claims will be deemed Allowed Claims in the aggregate amount of $275,000,000 plus accrued interest through the Petition Date. Under the Plan, each holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim will receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for such Allowed Senior Note Claim, its Pro Rata share of (a) the New Senior Notes and (b) ninety-one percent (91%) of the New Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Article IV.C of the Plan. For a more complete description of and certain risk factors associated with the New Senior Notes and the New Common Stock, see Section XII.B -- "Securities To Be Issued In Connection With The Plan -- Resale of Securities of Reorganized CAI." In addition, on the Distribution Date, each holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim against CAI will receive its Pro Rata share of the balance of the Senior Note Escrow that otherwise would have been payable to such holder on September 1, 1998 in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes Indenture. (b) Class CAI-6: Subordinated Note Claims Class CAI-6 consists of all Claims against CAI arising under or as a result of (i) the 12% Subordinated Note and (ii) the ECN Notes. Under the Plan, the holder of an Allowed Subordinated Note Claim against CAI will receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for such Allowed Subordinated Note Claim, its Pro Rata share of nine percent (9%) of the New Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Article IV.C of the Plan. In consideration of the treatment of its Class CAI-6 Subordinated Note Claim, the holder of the 12% Subordinated Note will provide a release of all obligations under such note to each Subsidiary that is an obligor thereunder. CAI estimates that the aggregate amount of Allowed Class CAI-6 Subordinated Note Claims will be approximately $32,793,000 plus accrued interest through the Petition Date. (c) Class CAI-7: Securities Claims Class CAI-7 consists of all Claims against CAI arising from the rescission of a purchase or sale of a security of CAI, including, but not limited to, Old Senior Preferred Stock, Old Junior Preferred Stock, Old Voting Preferred Stock, Old Common Stock, Old Stock Options, Old Warrants, Senior Notes, Subordinated Notes, all other debt instruments and any and all other rights to acquire Equity Securities of CAI, for damages arising from the purchase or sale of such a security, or for reimbursement, contribution or indemnification allowed under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code on account of such Claim, including, without limitation, a Claim with respect to those actions pending against CAI and/or their current or former officers and directors in which Securities Claims are asserted, including the Securities Action. Under Section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, these Claims are to be subordinated to all Claims or Interests that are senior to or equal the Claim or Interest represented by the security in question, except if the security in question is common stock, in which case the Claim has the same priority as common stock. (i) Class CAI-7.01: Debt Securities Claims Class CAI-7.01 consists of all Securities Claims arising from, under, or in any way related to, a Debt Security. The holders of Class CAI-7.01 Debt Securities Claims will not be entitled to, and will not, receive or retain any property or interest in property on account of such Claims. (ii) Class CAI-7.02: Equity Securities Claims Class CAI-7.02 consists of all Securities Claims arising from, under, or in any way related to, an Equity Security. The holders of Class CAI-7.02 Equity Securities Claims will not be entitled to, and will not, receive or retain any property or interest in property on account of such Claims. Pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, Class CAI-7 is deemed to reject the Plan because the holders of Claims in Class CAI-7 will not receive or retain any property or interest in property under the Plan. The Bankruptcy Court may confirm the Plan notwithstanding the deemed rejection by Class CAI-7, provided that the Plan does not "discriminate unfairly" and is "fair and equitable." See Section VIII.E.3 -- "Summary of the Plan -- Confirmation of the Plan - Confirmation Without Acceptance of All Impaired Classes - 'Cramdown'." CAI believes the Plan does not "discriminate unfairly" and is "fair and equitable" to Class CAI-7. 4. Impaired Class of Interests in CAI Class CAI-8: Equity Securities Interests Class CAI-8 consists of all Interests directly or indirectly arising from, under, or in any way relating to, any of the Equity Securities. The Equity Securities and Interests being canceled under the Plan include the Old Common Stock, Old Stock Options, and Old Warrants, together with any options, warrants, or rights, contractual or otherwise, to acquire or receive any such stock or ownership interests, including, but not limited to, the Old Options, the Old Warrants and any contracts or agreements pursuant to which the non-debtor party was or could have been entitled to receive shares of stock or other ownership interests in CAI and (ii) any other common or preferred stock of or other ownership interest in CAI, options or warrants to purchase or acquire such common or preferred stock or other ownership interest in CAI. Pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, Class CAI-8 is deemed to reject the Plan because the holders of Interests in Class CAI-8 will not receive or retain any property or interest in property under the Plan. The Bankruptcy Court may confirm the Plan notwithstanding the deemed rejection by Class CAI-8, provided that the Plan does not "discriminate unfairly" and is "fair and equitable." See Section VIII.E.3 -- "Summary of the Plan -- Confirmation of the Plan - Confirmation Without Acceptance of All Impaired Classes - 'Cramdown'." CAI believes the Plan does not "discriminate unfairly" and is "fair and equitable" to Class CAI-8. 5. Unimpaired Classes of Claims Against PCT (a) Class PCT-1: Other Priority Claims Class PCT-1 Other Priority Claims include Claims against PCT, other than DIP Facility Claims, Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, that are entitled to priority under Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, such as unsecured Claims for accrued employee compensation, including vacation, severance, and sick-leave pay, earned within 90 days before the Petition Date, to the extent of $4,300 per employee, and contributions to employee benefit plans arising from services rendered within the 180-day period preceding the Petition Date, but only for such plans to the extent of the number of employees covered by such plans multiplied by $4,300, less the aggregate amount paid to such employees for accrued employee compensation. Under the Plan, the holder of an Allowed Other Priority Claim against PCT will receive (a) Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Class PCT-1 Other Priority Claim or (b) such other treatment as to which PCT and such holder have agreed upon in writing. PCT estimates that the aggregate amount of Allowed Other Priority Claims against PCT will be de minimis. (b) Class PCT-2: Secured Claims Each holder of a Class PCT-2 Secured Claim will be treated as a separate class for all purposes under the Plan, and each holder of an Allowed Class PCT-2 Secured Claim will receive the treatment set forth below. To the extent, if any, that the value of such holder's interest in PCT's interest in the collateral securing a Class PCT-2 Secured Claim is less than the total amount of such Claim, the difference shall be treated as a Class PCT-3 General Unsecured Claim. PCT specifically reserves all rights to challenge the validity, nature and perfection of, and to avoid pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable law, any purported liens and security interests. Under the Plan, the holder of an Allowed Secured Claim against PCT will, in the sole discretion of PCT, (a) receive Cash in an amount equal to such Allowed Secured Claim, (b) receive deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed amount of such Allowed Secured Claim, of a value, as of the Consummation Date, of at least the value of such holder's interest in PCT's Estate's interest in the collateral securing the Allowed Secured Claim, (c) upon abandonment by PCT, receive the collateral securing such holder's Allowed Secured Claim, (d) receive payments or liens amounting to the indubitable equivalent of the value of such holder's interest in PCT's Estate's interest in the collateral securing the Allowed Secured Claim, (e) have its Allowed Secured Claim Reinstated, or (f) receive such other treatment as PCT and such holder have agreed upon in writing. PCT estimates that on the Petition Date, Allowed Class PCT-2 Secured Claims will be de minimis. (c) Class PCT-3: General Unsecured Claims General Unsecured Claims consist of each Claim against PCT that is not a DIP Facility Claim, Administrative Claim, Priority Tax Claim, Other Priority Claim, Secured Claim, Intercompany Claim, or Subordinated Note Claim. Under the Plan, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim against PCT will receive in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for such Allowed General Unsecured Claim (a) treatment that leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such Allowed General Unsecured Claim entitles the holder of such Claim; (b) notwithstanding any contractual provision or applicable law that entitles the holder of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim to demand or receive accelerated payment of such Claim after the occurrence of a default, treatment that (i) cures any such default that occurred before or after the Petition Date, other than a default of a kind specified in Section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) reinstates the maturity of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim as such maturity existed before such default, (iii) compensates the holder of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim for any damages incurred as a result of any reasonable reliance by such holder on such contractual provision or such applicable law, and (iv) does not otherwise alter the legal, equitable, or contractual rights to which such Allowed General Unsecured Claim entitles the holder of such Claim; or (c) such other treatment as to which PCT and such holder have agreed upon in writing. The estimated amount of Allowed Class PCT-3 General Unsecured Claims is included in the estimate of Allowed Class CAI-3 General Unsecured Claims. (d) Class PCT-4: Intercompany Claims Class PCT-4 consists of all Claims against PCT held by CAI or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of CAI, including, without limitation, any account reflecting intercompany book entries by a CAI or a Subsidiary with respect to PCT, and any Claim not reflected in such book entries that is held by a CAI or a Subsidiary. Under the Plan, each holder of an Allowed Intercompany Claim against PCT, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for such Allowed Intercompany Claim, will, in the sole discretion of PCT, (a) receive treatment that leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such Allowed Intercompany Claim entitles the holder of such Claim, (b) be Reinstated, or (c) receive such other treatment as PCT and such holder have agreed upon in writing. PCT estimates that on the Petition Date, Allowed Class PCT-4 Intercompany Claims will be approximately $17,411,000. 6. Impaired Class of Claims Against PCT Class PCT-5: Subordinated Note Claims Class PCT-5 consists of all Claims against PCT arising under or as a result of any Subordinated Note. Under the Plan, each Allowed Class PCT-5 Subordinated Note Claim will be fully and finally satisfied by the satisfaction of the applicable Class CAI-6 Subordinated Note Claim in accordance with Article III.C.2 of the Plan. 7. Unimpaired Class of Interests in PCT Class PCT-8: Equity Securities Interests Class PCT-6 consists of all Interests in PCT directly or indirectly arising from or under, or relating in any to, any of the Equity Securities of PCT. Pursuant to the Plan, each Allowed Class PCT-6 Equity Securities Interest will be Reinstated. D. Summary Of Other Provisions Of The Plan 1. Exit Financing The Companies anticipate that they will finalize the material terms of a new senior secured facility (the "New Senior Secured Facility") prior to the Confirmation Date, pursuant to which the Companies would have access to sufficient working capital to maintain their operations, as well as the operations of the Subsidiaries, during CAI's continued efforts to attract a Strategic Partner. CAI has commenced discussions with MLGAF, which has informed CAI that it is considering providing a portion of the New Senior Secured Facility. In addition, BT Alex. Brown, the Companies' financial advisor has begun to contact additional potential participants; however, no definitive agreement has been reached with any entity at this time. The Companies anticipate that the New Senior Secured Facility, which would be used to (a) refinance amounts outstanding on the Consummation Date under the DIP Facility and (b) provide additional borrowing capacity to Reorganized CAI and the Subsidiaries following the Consummation Date, may consist of two tranches of secured debt. The first tranche would be secured by a first priority lien on and security interest in substantially all of CAI's assets and the second tranche would be secured by a second priority lien on and security interest in the same assets. Based on its experience, BT Alex. Brown has compiled a list of potential lenders to participate in the New Senior Secured Facility. As of June 25, 1998, eight potential lenders have expressed some interest in participating in the facility and have requested confidentiality agreements. Four of those eight potential lenders have signed a confidentiality agreement and have received information regarding the restructuring. As of that same date, BT Alex. Brown had not received any proposals or term sheets for any portion of the New Senior Secured Facility from any potential lender other than MLGAF, which has indicated a willingness to participate in a portion of such facility, subject to agreement on satisfactory terms and conditions. BT Alex. Brown expects that any potential New Senior Secured Facility lender, including MLGAF, will require a market interest rate and an equity stake in Reorganized CAI. Additional information regarding the status and terms of the New Senior Secured Facility is expected to be provided before the Voting Deadline by a supplement to the Disclosure Statement. 2. Releases and Satisfaction of Subordination Rights All Claims of the holders of the Secured Notes, Senior Notes and the Subordinated Notes against CAI or PCT and all rights and claims between or among such holders relating in any manner whatsoever to any claimed subordination rights (if any), will be deemed satisfied by the distributions under, described in, contemplated by, and/or implemented by the Plan to holders of Claims having such subordination rights, and such subordination rights will be deemed waived, released, discharged, and terminated as of the Consummation Date, and all actions related to the enforcement of such subordination rights will be permanently enjoined. Distributions under, described in, contemplated by, and/or implemented by the Plan to the various Classes of Claims thereunder will not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or like legal process by any holder of a Claim, including, but not limited to, holders of Secured Note Claims, Senior Note Claims and Subordinated Note Claims, by reason of any claimed subordination rights or otherwise, so that each holder of a Claim will have and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan. 3. Continued Corporate Existence Following confirmation and consummation of the Plan, each of the Companies and the other Subsidiaries will continue to exist as separate corporate entities in accordance with the laws of their respective states of incorporation and pursuant to their respective certificates of incorporation and by-laws in effect prior to Consummation, except to the extent such certificates of incorporation and by-laws are amended under the Plan. The certificate of incorporation and by-laws of each of the Companies will be amended as necessary to satisfy the provisions of the Plan and the Bankruptcy Code and will include, among other things, pursuant to Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, (x) a provision prohibiting the issuance of non-voting equity securities, and if applicable (y) a provision as to the classes of securities issued pursuant to the Plan or thereafter possessing voting power, for an appropriate distribution of such power among such classes, including, in the case of any class of equity securities having a preference over another class of equity securities with respect to dividends, adequate provisions for the election of directors representing such preferred class in the event of default in the payment of such dividends. The Amended Certificate of Incorporation of CAI also will include, among other things, a provision authorizing a capital stock of 25 million shares of New Common Stock, $.01 par value per share. 4. Sale Of MDU Assets By the Companies PCT and CAI have entered into a binding letter of intent (the ALOI@) with Mid-Atlantic Telcom Plus, d/b/a OnePoint Communications (AOnePoint@), providing for the sale by the Companies to OnePoint of their assets used in the provision of subscription video services to 64 multi-dwelling units located in and around the greater Philadelphia area (the AMDU Assets"). The proposed purchase price for the MDU Assets is $6 million, 92% of which will be delivered to CAI and PCT at closing and 8% of which will be held in escrow for a period up to 6 months, pending the technical conversion required to convert the MDUs to OnePoint's distribution system. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the LOI is subject to the satisfaction of a variety of conditions, including Bankruptcy Court approval. 5. Revesting of Assets Pursuant to Section 1141(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, all property of each Company's Estate, together with any property of either Company that is not property of its Estate and that is not specifically disposed of pursuant to the Plan, shall revest in CAI or PCT, as the case may be, on the Confirmation Date. Thereafter, the Companies may operate their businesses and may use, acquire, and dispose of property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Bankruptcy Court. As of the Confirmation Date, all property of each Company shall be free and clear of all Claims and Interests, except as specifically provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Company may, without application to or approval by the Bankruptcy Court, pay fees that it incurs after the Confirmation Date for professional fees and expenses. 6. Distributions Under the Plan (a) General On or as soon as is practicable after the Consummation Date, to the extent that the Plan provides for distributions on account of Allowed Claims in the applicable Class, each holder of an Allowed Claim will receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class. Beginning on the Distribution Date and every 180 days thereafter, distributions will also be made, pursuant to Articles III, VII, and IX of the Plan, respectively, to (a) holders of Claims to whom a distribution has become deliverable during the period since the immediately preceding distribution date and (b) to holders of Disputed Claims whose Claims were Allowed during the period since the immediately preceding distribution date. Such interim distributions will also be in the full amount that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Cash necessary for the Reorganized Companies to make payments pursuant to the Plan will be obtained from Reorganized CAI's existing Cash balances, Reorganized CAI's ongoing operations, or the New Senior Secured Facility. CAI or such third party Disbursing Agent(s) as it may employ in its sole discretion will initially make all distributions of Cash, New Senior Notes, New Common Stock and other property required to be distributed under the applicable provisions of the Plan. Any Disbursing Agent (including, if applicable, Reorganized CAI in its capacity as such) may employ or contract with other entities to assist in or make the distributions required by the Plan. Each Disbursing Agent will serve without bond, and each third party Disbursing Agent will receive, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services from Reorganized CAI on terms acceptable to Reorganized CAI. Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan will be in U.S. dollars by checks drawn on a domestic bank selected by Reorganized CAI, or by wire transfer from a domestic bank, at the option of Reorganized CAI. Cash payments of $1,000,000 or more to be made pursuant to the Plan will, to the extent requested in writing no later than five days after the Confirmation Date, be made by wire transfer from a domestic bank. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of Reorganized CAI, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. (b) Distributions For Claims Allowed As Of The Consummation Date Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the Consummation Date will be made on the Distribution Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable. Securities to be issued will be deemed issued as of the Distribution Date regardless of the date on which they are actually distributed. Distributions on account of Claims that first become Allowed Claims after the Consummation Date shall be made pursuant to Articles III, VII, and IX of the Plan. (c) Record Date For Distributions To Holders Of Senior Notes The record date for distributions to holders of Senior Notes will be the seventh (7th) Business Day following entry of the Confirmation Order (the "Distribution Record Date"). At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the transfer ledgers for the Senior Notes including, but not limited to the transfer ledgers of the Indenture Trustee, will be closed, and there will be no further changes in the record holders of the Senior Notes. Reorganized CAI, the Indenture Trustee, and the Disbursing Agent, if any, will have no obligation to recognize any transfer of such Senior Notes occurring after the Distribution Record Date and will be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes with only those record holders stated on the transfer ledgers as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. (d) Calculation Of Distribution Amounts Of New Common Stock No fractional shares or units of New Common Stock will be issued or distributed under the Plan or by Reorganized CAI or any Disbursing Agent, indenture trustee, agent, or servicer. Each Person entitled to receive New Common Stock will receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Stock to which such Person is entitled. Whenever any distribution to a particular Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of a share of New Common Stock, the Disbursing Agent will allocate separately one whole share to such Persons in order of the fractional portion of their entitlements, starting with the largest such fractional portion, until all remaining whole shares have been allocated. Upon the allocation of a whole share to a Person in respect of the fractional portion of its entitlement, such fractional portion will be canceled. If two or more Persons are entitled to equal fractional entitlements and the number of Persons so entitled exceeds the number of whole shares which remain to be allocated, the Disbursing Agent will allocate the remaining whole shares to such holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the Disbursing Agent deems fair. Upon the allocation of all of the whole shares authorized under the Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements will be canceled and will be of no further force and effect. (e) Delivery Of Distributions Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims will be made by the Disbursing Agent or the appropriate indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, (a) at the addresses set forth on the proofs of Claim filed by such holders (or at the last known addresses of such holders if no proof of Claim is filed or if the applicable Company has been notified of a change of address), (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Disbursing Agent after the date of any related proof of Claim, (c) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no proof of Claim has been filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address, (d) in the case of the holder of a Claim that is governed by an indenture or other agreement and is administered by an indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, at the addresses contained in the official records of such indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, or (e) at the addresses set forth in a properly completed letter of transmittal accompanying securities properly remitted to the Companies. If any holder's distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder will be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent or the appropriate indenture trustee, agent, or servicer is notified of such holder's then current address, at which time all missed distributions will be made to such holder without interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions made through the Disbursing Agent or the indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, shall be returned to the Reorganized Companies until such distributions are claimed. All claims for undeliverable distributions must be made on or before the second (2nd) anniversary of the Consummation Date, after which date all unclaimed property will revert to the Reorganized Companies free of any restrictions thereon and the claim of any holder or successor to such holder with respect to such property will be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. (f) Fractional Dollars; De Minimis Distributions Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no payments of fractions of dollars will be made. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment made will reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars being rounded down. The Disbursing Agent, or any indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, will not make any payment of less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) with respect to any Claim unless a request therefor is made in writing to such Disbursing Agent, indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be. 7. Resolution and Treatment of Disputed, Contingent, and Unliquidated Claims (a) Objection Deadline; Prosecution Of Objections The Companies or Reorganized Companies, as the case may be, will be allowed up to 120 days after the Consummation Date (unless extended by an order of the Bankruptcy Court) to file objections to Claims with the Bankruptcy Court and serve such objections upon the holders of each of the Claims to which objections are made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in the Plan will limit the Reorganized Companies' right to object to Claims, if any, filed or amended more than 120 days after the Consummation Date. (b) No Distributions Pending Allowance No payments or distributions will be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order, and the Disputed Claim, or some portion thereof, has become an Allowed Claim. Disputed Claims are Claims, or portions of Claims, that are neither Allowed Claims nor Disallowed Claims and include, but are not limited to, Claims that have not been Scheduled by the Companies; Claims that have been Scheduled at zero or as contingent, unliquidated or disputed; Claims that are the subject of a proof of Claim that differs in nature, amount, or priority from the Companies' Schedules; and Claims that have not yet been allowed or disallowed by a Final Order. (c) Distribution Reserve The Reorganized Companies or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, will, on the Consummation Date or as soon thereafter as practicable, establish and fund (from the Cash, New Senior Notes, New Common Stock, or other property to be distributed under the Plan) the Distribution Reserve. In general, the purpose of the Distribution Reserve is to ensure that sufficient Cash or other property is set aside to distribute to holders of Disputed Claims the amounts to which they are entitled under the Plan if, as, and when their Disputed Claims become Allowed Claims. The amount of Cash or other property to be withheld by the Disbursing Agent on account of each Disputed Claim will be determined in accordance with the provisions of Article IX.C.1 of the Plan. Neither the Disbursing Agent, nor any other party, shall be entitled to vote any shares of the New Common Stock held in the Distribution Reserve. In the event that any matter requires approval by the shareholders of Reorganized CAI prior to the distribution or cancellation of all shares of New Common Stock from the Distribution Reserve, the shares of New Common Stock held by the Disbursing Agent shall be deemed not to have been issued, for voting purposes only. (d) Distributions After Allowance The Reorganized Companies or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, will make payments and distributions from the Distribution Reserve to each holder of a Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan governing the class of Claims to which such holder belongs. On the next succeeding interim distribution date after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing all or part of such Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent will distribute to the holder of such Claim any Cash, New Senior Notes, New Common Stock, or other property in the Distribution Reserve that would have been distributed on the Distribution Date had such Allowed Claim been allowed on the Distribution Date. After a Final Order has been entered, or other final resolution has been reached, with respect to each Disputed Claim (i) any New Senior Notes or New Common Stock held in the Distribution Reserve will be distributed Pro Rata to holders of Allowed Claims entitled thereto under the terms of the Plan and (ii) any Cash or other property remaining in the Distribution Reserve will become property of the Reorganized Companies. All distributions made under Article IX.D of the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim will be made together with any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property, as if such Allowed Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the Distribution Date. In no event, however, will the Disbursing Agent be required to make distributions under Article IX.D of the Plan more frequently than once every 180 days or to make any individual payments in an amount less than $25.00. 8. Surrender and Cancellation of Securities or Instruments On or before the Distribution Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, each holder of an instrument evidencing a Claim on account of Debt Securities which are not being Reinstated (a "Certificate") must surrender such Certificate to the Disbursing Agent, or, with respect to indebtedness that is governed by an indenture or other agreement, the respective indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, and such Certificate will be canceled. No distribution of property under the Plan will be made to or on behalf of any such holder unless and until the Certificate is received by the Disbursing Agent or the respective indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the Disbursing Agent or the respective indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be. Any such holder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent or the respective indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Consummation Date, will be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims in respect of such Certificate and will not participate in any distribution hereunder, and all property in respect of such forfeited distribution, including interest accrued thereon, will revert to Reorganized CAI notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. 9. Treatment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Companies have the right, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, to assume or reject any executory contracts or unexpired leases. If CAI or PCT rejects an executory contract or unexpired lease that was entered into before the Petition Date, it will be treated as if it had been breached on the date immediately preceding the Petition Date, and the other party to the agreement may assert a General Unsecured Claim for damages incurred as a result of the rejection. In the case of rejection of employment agreements and real property leases, damages are subject to certain limitations imposed by Sections 365 and 502 of the Bankruptcy Code. (a) Assumed Contracts and Leases; Related Payments Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, as of the Consummation Date each of the Companies will be deemed to have assumed each executory contract and unexpired lease to which it is a party, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by CAI or PCT, as the case may be, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Confirmation Date. The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code approving the contract and lease assumptions described above, as of the Consummation Date. Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed and relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of real property will include (a) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease and (b) all executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, usufructs, reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises, and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court or is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Confirmation Date. Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default will be satisfied, under Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of CAI or PCT, or the assignee of CAI or PCT assuming such contract or lease, by Cure. If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of a Reorganized Company or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure will occur following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be. (b) Rejected Contracts and Leases; Bar to Rejection Damages As of the date of this Disclosure Statement, the Companies have not determined that any of the executory contracts and unexpired leases to which they, or either of them, are parties will be rejected; provided, however, that pursuant Section 365 (d)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Companies reserve the right, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, to seek to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to which they, or either of them, are a party. If the rejection by CAI or PCT, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, of an executory contract or unexpired lease results in a Claim, then such Claim will be forever barred and unenforceable against CAI or PCT, or Reorganized CAI or Reorganized PCT, as the case may be, or the properties of any of them, unless a proof of Claim is filed with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel for the Companies within thirty (30) days after service of the earlier of (i) notice of entry of the Confirmation Order or (ii) other notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected. (c) Compensation and Benefit Programs Except and to the extent previously assumed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Confirmation Date, all employee compensation and benefit programs of the Companies, including programs subject to Sections 1114 and 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, entered into before or after the Petition Date and not since terminated, will be deemed to be, and will be treated as though they are, executory contracts that are assumed under Article VIII.A of the Plan, but only to the extent that rights under such programs are held by the Companies or Persons who are employees of the Companies as of the Confirmation Date, and the Companies' obligations under such programs to persons who are employees of the Companies on the Confirmation Date will survive confirmation of the Plan, except for (i) executory contracts or plans specifically rejected pursuant to the Plan (to the extent such rejection does not violate Sections 1114 and 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code) and (ii) executory contracts or plans as have previously been rejected, are the subject of a motion to reject, or have been specifically waived by the beneficiaries of any plans or contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employment Agreements to be entered into with the Key Employees on the Consummation Date will amend and supersede any other employment agreements and severance plans with or for the benefit of the Key Employees, and, as amended, will be assumed under the Plan. On the Consummation Date, the Severance Plan will be terminated. In addition, pursuant to the requirements of Section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan provides for the continuation of payment by the Companies of all "retiree benefits," as defined in Section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, if any, at previously established levels. The Companies, however, have no obligations to pay "retiree benefits." 10. Retention of Jurisdiction Pursuant to Sections 105(a) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, and notwithstanding entry of the Confirmation Order and occurrence of the Consummation Date, the Bankruptcy Court will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, and related to, the Chapter 11 Case and the Plan, as more fully set forth in Article XII of the Plan. 11. Bar Dates For Certain Claims (a) Administrative Claims The Confirmation Order will establish an Administrative Claims Bar Date for filing Administrative Claims (except for Professional Fees and the expenses of the members of the Creditors' Committee (if one has been appointed)), which date will be 45 days after the Confirmation Date. Holders of asserted Administrative Claims, except for Professional Fees and the expenses of the members of the Creditors' Committee (if one has been appointed), not paid prior to the Confirmation Date must submit proofs of Claim on or before such Administrative Claims Bar Date or forever be barred from doing so. The notice of Confirmation to be delivered pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3020(c) and 2002(f) will set forth such date and constitute notice of this Administrative Claims Bar Date. The Companies, or the Reorganized Companies, as the case may be, will have 45 days (or such longer period as may be allowed by order of the Bankruptcy Court) following the Administrative Claims Bar Date to review and object to such Administrative Claims before a hearing for determination of allowance of such Administrative Claims. (b) Professional Fee Claims All final requests for compensation or reimbursement of Professional Fees pursuant to Sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 503(b) or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code for services rendered to CAI or the Creditors' Committee (if one has been appointed) prior to the Consummation Date, including requests under Section 503(b)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code by any Professional or other entity for making a substantial contribution in the Chapter 11 Case, must be filed and served on the Reorganized Companies and their counsel no later than 45 days after the Consummation Date, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Objections to applications of such Professionals or other entities for compensation or reimbursement of expenses must be filed and served on the Reorganized Companies and their counsel, and the requesting Professional or other entity no later than 45 days (or such longer period as may be allowed by order of the Bankruptcy Court) after the date on which the applicable application for compensation or reimbursement was served. 12. Miscellaneous (a) Interest On Claims Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, post-petition interest will neither accrue nor be paid on Claims, and no holder of a Claim will be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim. In addition, interest will neither accrue nor be paid upon any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Petition Date to the date a final distribution is made thereon if and after such \Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. (b) Preservation Of Rights Of Action; Settlement of Litigation Claims Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in any document, instrument, release, or other agreement entered into in connection with the Plan, in accordance with Section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Companies will retain all claims, rights of action, suits, or proceedings, whether in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, that the Companies or their Estates may hold against any person or entity (collectively, "Litigation Claims"), and may enforce, sue on, settle, or compromise (or decline to do any of the foregoing) any or all of such Litigation Claims. The failure of the Companies to specifically list any claim, right of action, suit, or proceeding herein or in the Plan does not, and will not be deemed to, constitute a waiver or release by the Companies of such claim, right of action, suit, or proceeding, and the Reorganized Companies will retain the right to pursue additional Claims, rights of action, suits or proceedings. In addition, at any time after the Petition Date and before the Consummation Date, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Companies or the Reorganized Companies may settle some or all of the Litigation Claims with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9019. (c) Withholding And Reporting Requirements In connection with the Plan and all distributions thereunder, the Reorganized Companies shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. E. Confirmation Of The Plan Described below are certain important considerations under the Bankruptcy Code in connection with confirmation of the Plan. 1. Confirmation Hearing Section 1128(a) of the Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court, after notice, to hold a hearing on confirmation of the Plan (the "Confirmation Hearing"). Section 1128(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that any party in interest may object to confirmation of the Plan. If the Companies file petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and seek confirmation of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court will schedule a Confirmation Hearing. The Companies will provide notice of the Confirmation Hearing to all known Creditors and Interest holders or their representatives (the "Confirmation Notice"). The Confirmation Hearing may be adjourned from time to time by the Bankruptcy Court without further notice except for an announcement of the adjourned date made at the Confirmation Hearing or any adjournment thereof. Objections to confirmation must be filed and served in the manner and within the time set forth in the Confirmation Notice and must (a) be in writing, (b) comply with the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Local Bankruptcy Rules, (c) set forth the name of the objector, and the nature and amount of any Claim or Interest asserted by the objector against or in CAI or PCT, the applicable Estate or its property, and (d) state with particularity the legal and factual bases for the objection. OBJECTIONS TO CONFIRMATION THAT ARE NOT TIMELY FILED AND SERVED WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AND WILL BE OVERRULED. 2. Requirements for Confirmation of the Plan The Bankruptcy Court will determine at the Confirmation Hearing whether the following requirements for confirmation, set forth in Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, have been satisfied: (a) The Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. (b) The Companies have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. (c) The Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. (d) Any payment made or promised by the Companies or by a person issuing securities or acquiring property under the Plan for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Chapter 11 Case, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Case, has been disclosed to the Bankruptcy Court, and any such payment made before confirmation of the Plan is reasonable, or if such payment is to be fixed after confirmation of the Plan, such payment is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable. (e) The Companies have disclosed (i) the identity and affiliations of (x) any individual proposed to serve, after confirmation of the Plan, as a director, officer, or voting trustee of the Reorganized Companies , (y) any affiliate of CAI or PCT participating in a joint plan with CAI or PCT, or (z) any successor to the Companies under the Plan (and the appointment to, or continuance in, such office of such individual(s) is consistent with the interests of Creditors and Interest holders and with public policy), and (ii) the identity of any insider that will be employed or retained by the Companies and the nature of any compensation for such insider. (f) With respect to each Class of Claims or Interests, each Impaired Creditor and Impaired Interest holder either has accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan an account of the Claims or Interests held by such entity, property of a value, as of the Consummation Date, that is not less than the amount that such entity would receive or retain if the Companies were liquidated on such date under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. See Section XIV.B -- "Feasibility of the Plan -- Best Interests Test." (g) The Plan provides that Administrative Claims and Priority Claims other than Priority Tax Claims will be paid in full on the Consummation Date and that Priority Tax Claims will receive on account of such Claims deferred cash payments, over a period not exceeding six years after the date of assessment of such Claims, of a value, as of the Consummation Date, equal to the Allowed Amount of such Claims, except to the extent that the holder of any such Claim has agreed to a different treatment. (h) If a Class of Claims is Impaired under the Plan, at least one Class of Impaired Claims has accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by insiders holding Claims in such Class. (i) Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the Companies or any successor to the Companies under the Plan, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the Plan. See Section XIV.A - -- "Feasibility of the Plan." (j) The Plan provides for the continuation after the Consummation Date of all retiree benefits, if any, at the level established pursuant to Section 1114(e)(1)(B) or 1114(g) of the Bankruptcy Code at any time prior to confirmation of the Plan, for the duration of the period the Companies have obligated themselves to provide such benefits. The Companies believe that, upon receipt of the Requisite Acceptances, the Plan will satisfy all the statutory requirements of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, that the Companies have complied or will have complied with all of the requirements of Chapter 11, and that the Plan is being proposed and will be submitted to the Bankruptcy Court in good faith. 3. Confirmation Without Acceptance of All Impaired Classes -- "Cramdown" CAI will request confirmation of the Plan, as it may be modified from time to time, under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and has reserved the right to modify the Plan to the extent, if any, that confirmation pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification. Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan can be confirmed even if it is not accepted by all impaired classes of claims and interests, as long as at least one impaired class of claims has accepted it. Thus, if the Requisite Acceptances are received, the Bankruptcy Court may confirm the Plan notwithstanding the rejection, deemed or otherwise, of an Impaired Class of Claims or Interests if the Plan "does not discriminate unfairly" and is "fair and equitable" as to each Impaired Class that has rejected, or is deemed to have rejected, the Plan. A plan does not discriminate unfairly within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code if a rejecting impaired class is treated equally with respect to other classes of equal rank. A plan is fair and equitable as to a class of secured claims that rejects the plan if, among other things, the plan provides (a) (i) that the holders of claims in the rejecting class retain the liens securing those claims (whether the property subject to those liens is retained by the debtor or transferred to another entity) to the extent of the allowed amount of such claims and (ii) that each holder of a claim in the rejecting class receives on account of its claim deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed amount of that claim, of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, of at least the value of the holder's interest in the estate's interest in such property; (b) for the sale, subject to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, of any property that is subject to the liens securing the claims included in the rejecting class, free and clear of the liens, with the liens to attach to the proceeds of the sale, and the treatment of the liens on proceeds under clause (a) or (c) of this subparagraph; or (c) for the realization by such holders of the indubitable equivalent of such claims. A plan is fair and equitable as to a class of unsecured claims that rejects the plan, if, among other things, the plan provides (a) that each holder of a claim in the rejecting class will receive or retain on account of its claim property that has a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the allowed amount of the claim; or (b) that no holder of a claim or interest that is junior to the claims of the rejecting class will receive or retain under the Plan any property on account of such junior claim or interest. A plan is fair and equitable as to a class of equity interests that rejects the plan if the plan provides (a) that each holder of an interest included in the rejecting class receive or retain on account of that interest property that has a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the greatest of the allowed amount of any fixed liquidation preference to which such holder is entitled, any fixed redemption price to which such holder is entitled, or the value of such interest; or (b) that no holder of an interest that is junior to the interest of the rejecting class will receive or retain under the Plan any property on account of such junior interest. As described above, holders of Claims and Interests in Classes CAI-7 and CAI-8 will not receive or retain property under the Plan on account of their Claims and Interests in such Classes. Accordingly, under Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, such Classes are presumed to have rejected the Plan. The Companies (a) intend to request confirmation of the Plan under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code notwithstanding the deemed rejection of the Plan by Classes CAI-7 and CAI-8 and (b) reserve the right to seek confirmation of the Plan under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code notwithstanding the rejection of the Plan by other classes of Claims. The Companies believe that the Plan may be confirmed pursuant to the above-described "cramdown" provisions, over the dissent of certain Classes of Claims and Interests, in view of the treatment proposed for such Classes. The Companies believe that the treatment under the Plan of the holders of Claims and Interests in Classes CAI-7 and CAI-8 will satisfy the "fair and equitable" test since, although no distribution will be made in respect of Claims and Interests in such Classes and, as a result, such Classes will be deemed to have rejected the Plan, no Class junior to these non-accepting Classes will receive or retain any property under the Plan. In addition, the Companies do not believe that the Plan unfairly discriminates against any dissenting Class because all dissenting Classes of equal rank are treated equally under the Plan. 4. Conditions to Confirmation and Consummation (a) Conditions To Confirmation The following are conditions precedent to confirmation of the Plan: (i) The proposed Confirmation Order shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Companies, the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee, and the Exit Lenders.

(b) Conditions To Consummation The following are conditions precedent to the occurrence of the Consummation Date, each of which may be satisfied or waived in accordance with Article X.C of the Plan: (i) The Confirmation Order, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Companies, the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee, and the Exit Lenders, confirming the Plan, as the same may have been modified, must have become a Final Order and must, among other things, provide that: (A) the Companies and Reorganized Companies are authorized and directed to take all actions necessary or appropriate to enter into, implement and consummate the contracts, instruments, releases, leases, indentures and other agreements or documents created in connection with the Plan or the Restructuring; (B) the provisions of the Confirmation Order are nonseverable and mutually dependent; (C) all executory contracts or unexpired leases assumed or assumed and assigned by the Companies during the Chapter 11 Case or under the Plan shall remain in full force and effect for the benefit of the Reorganized Companies or their assignees notwithstanding any provision in such contract or lease (including those described in Sections 365(b)(2) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code) that prohibits such assignment or transfer or that enables, permits or requires termination of such contract or lease; (D) the transfers of property by the Companies (a) to the Reorganized Companies (i) are or will be legal, valid, and effective transfers of property, (ii) vest or will vest the Reorganized Companies with good title to such property free and clear of all liens, charges, Claims, encumbrances, or interests, except as expressly provided in the Plan or Confirmation Order, (iii) do not and will not constitute avoidable transfers under the Bankruptcy Code or under applicable bankruptcy or nonbankruptcy law, and (iv) do not and will not subject any Reorganized Company to any liability by reason of such transfer under the Bankruptcy Code or under applicable nonbankruptcy law, including, without limitation, any laws affecting successor or transferee liability, and (b) to holders of Claims under the Plan are for good consideration and value and are in the ordinary course of the Companies' business; (E) except as expressly provided in the Plan, the Companies are discharged effective upon the Confirmation Date from any "debt" (as that term is defined in Section 101(12) of the Bankruptcy Code), and the Companies' liability in respect thereof is extinguished completely, whether reduced to judgment or not, liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or noncontingent, asserted or unasserted, fixed or unfixed, matured or unmatured, disputed or undisputed, legal or equitable, or known or unknown, or that arose from any agreement of CAI or PCT that has either been assumed or rejected in the Chapter 11 Case or pursuant to the Plan, or obligation of CAI or PCT incurred before the Confirmation Date, or from any conduct of CAI or PCT prior to the Confirmation Date, or that otherwise arose before the Confirmation Date, including, without limitation, all interest, if any, on any such debts, whether such interest accrued before or after the Petition Date; (F) the Plan does not provide for the liquidation of all or substantially all of the property of the Companies and its confirmation is not likely to be followed by the liquidation of the Reorganized Companies or the need for further financial reorganization; (G) all Interests in CAI shall be terminated effective upon the Consummation Date; and (H) the New Senior Notes and New Common Stock issued under the Plan in exchange for Claims against CAI are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, except to the extent that holders of New Senior Notes and New Common Stock are "underwriters," as that term is defined in Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. (ii) The Reorganized Companies shall have credit availability under the New Senior Secured Facility, in amount, form and substance acceptable to CAI, to provide the Reorganized Companies with working capital to meet ordinary and peak requirements and additional borrowings to support future projects. (iii) The FCC shall have granted CAI's and CS Wireless' transfer of control applications concerning the ownership changes contemplated by the Plan on terms and conditions reasonable satisfactory to CAI. (iv) The FCC's grant of CAI's and CS Wireless' transfer of control applications shall have become final on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to CAI. (v) The following agreements, in form satisfactory to the Companies, shall have been executed and delivered, and all conditions precedent thereto shall have been satisfied: (A) Amended Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of CAI; (B) Amended Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of PCT; (C) New Senior Notes Indenture; (D) Management Option Plan and Management Option Agreements; (E) Employment Agreements; (F) Registration Rights Agreement; and (G) New Senior Secured Facility. (vi) All actions, documents and agreements necessary to implement the Plan shall have been effected or executed. (c) Waiver Of Conditions The conditions set forth in Articles X.A and X.B of the Plan, other than those set forth in Articles X.A.1 and X.B.1, may be waived in whole or in part by the Companies or the Reorganized Companies without further notice or a hearing. 5. Modifications and Amendments The Companies may alter, amend, or modify the Plan or any Exhibits thereto under Section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code at any time prior to the Confirmation Date. After the Confirmation Date and prior to "substantial consummation" of the Plan, as defined in Section 1101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Companies may, under section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement approved with respect to the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, and such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and effect of the Plan so long as such proceedings do not adversely affect the treatment of holders of Claims or Interests under the Plan; provided, however, that prior notice of such proceedings shall be served in accordance with the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or order of the Bankruptcy Court. F. Effects Of Confirmation 1. Binding Effect From and after the Consummation Date, the Plan will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Companies, all present and former holders of Claims against and Interests in the Companies, whether or not such holders will receive or retain any property or interest in property under the Plan, their respective successors and assigns, including, but not limited to, the Reorganized Companies, and all parties-in-interest in the Chapter 11 Case. 2. Discharge Of The Companies All consideration distributed under the Plan will be in exchange for, and in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of, all Claims of any nature whatsoever against the Companies or any of their assets or properties, and, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, and regardless of whether any property will have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims, upon the Consummation Date, the Companies shall be deemed discharged and released under Section 1141(d)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims, including, but not limited to, demands and liabilities that arose before the Confirmation Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims relate to services performed by employees of the Companies prior to the Petition Date and that arises from a termination of employment or a termination of any employee or retiree benefit program regardless of whether such termination occurred prior to or after the Confirmation Date, and all debts of the kind specified in Sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not (a) a proof of Claim based upon such debt is filed or deemed filed under Section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) a Claim based upon such debt is Allowed under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (c) the holder of a Claim based upon such debt accepted the Plan. The Confirmation Order will constitute be a judicial determination of discharge of all liabilities of the Companies, subject to the Consummation Date occurring. 3. Permanent Injunction Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all entities who have held, hold or may hold Claims against, or Interests in, the Companies will be permanently enjoined, on and after the Consummation Date, from (i) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind with respect to any such Claim or Interest, (ii) the enforcement, attachment, collection or recovery by any manner or means of any judgment, award, decree or order against CAI or PCT on account of any such Claim or Interest, (iii) creating, perfecting or enforcing any encumbrance of any kind against CAI or PCT or against the property or interests in property of CAI or PCT on account of any such Claim or Interest and (iv) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from CAI or PCT or against the property or interests in property of CAI or PCT on account of any such Claim or Interest. The foregoing injunction will extend to successors of the Companies (including, without limitation, the Reorganized Companies) and their respective properties and interests in property. 4. Exculpation and Limitation on Liability Neither the Reorganized Companies, nor any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Case, nor MLGAF or the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee, nor any of their respective present or former members, officers, directors, employees, advisors, attorneys, or agents, will have or incur any liability to any holder of a Claim or an Interest, or any other party in interest, or any of their respective agents, employees, representatives, financial advisors, attorneys, or affiliates, or any of their successors or assigns, for any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Solicitation, the Chapter 11 Case, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan, except for their willful misconduct, and in all respects shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no holder of a Claim or Interest, no other party in interest, none of their respective agents, employees, representatives, financial advisors, attorneys, or affiliates, and no successors or assigns of the foregoing, will have any right of action against the Reorganized Companies, or any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Case, or MLGAF or the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee, or any of their respective present or former members, officers, directors, employees, advisors, attorneys, or agents, for any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Solicitation, the Chapter 11 Case, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan, except for their willful misconduct. The foregoing exculpation and limitation on liability will not, however, in any manner limit, abridge or otherwise affect the rights, if any, of the Reorganized Companies to enforce, sue on, settle, or compromise the Litigation Claims retained pursuant to Article IV.G of the Plan. IX. TREATMENT OF TRADE CREDITORS AND EMPLOYEES DURING THE CHAPTER 11 CASE A. Trade Creditors If the Companies commence the Chapter 11 Case and seek confirmation of the Plan, then, notwithstanding provisions of the Bankruptcy Code that would otherwise require payment of such pre-petition claims to be deferred until consummation of the Plan, the Companies intend to seek the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (on, or as soon as possible after, the Petition Date) to make payments on account of Trade Claims to holders of Trade Claims who continue to provide the Companies with normal trade credit. If and to the extent that the Bankruptcy Court does not approve such payments, the Plan provides that holders of Trade Claims will be paid in full. There can be no assurance, however, that the Bankruptcy Court will permit an early payment to the holders of Trade Claims. B. Employees If the Companies commence the Chapter 11 Case and seek confirmation of the Plan, the Companies intend that salaries, wages, accrued paid vacation, health related benefits, (other than the severance benefits of senior management, see Section IV.D -- "Corporate Structure and Management of the Companies -- Employment Agreements") and similar employee benefits will be unaffected. Employee benefit claims that accrue pre-petition will be Unimpaired under the terms of the Plan. To ensure the continuity of the Companies' work force and to further accommodate the Unimpaired treatment of employee benefits, the Companies intend to seek the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (on, or as soon as possible after, the Petition Date) to honor payroll checks outstanding as of the Petition Date (or to issue replacement checks), to permit employees to use their accrued vacation time (as long as they remain employees of the Companies ) and to continue paying medical benefits under the Companies' health plan. There can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court would permit payment of pre-petition claims of employees at that time or if it does, that it would not impose limitations on such payments. Employee claims and benefits not paid or honored, as the case may be, prior to consummation of the Plan will be paid or honored in full upon consummation of the Plan or as soon thereafter as such payment or other obligation becomes due or performable. X. FINANCING DURING AND AFTER THE CHAPTER 11 CASE A. The DIP Facility THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN TERMS OF THE PROPOSED DIP FACILITY AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE DIP FACILITY AGREEMENT. CERTAIN TERMS USED HEREIN AND NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN HAVE THE MEANINGS ASSIGNED TO THEM IN THE DIP FACILITY AGREEMENT. A COPY OF THE DIP FACILITY AGREEMENT WILL BE FILED WITH THE BANKRUPTCY COURT IF CAI SEEKS AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THE DIP FACILITY. AS OF THE DATE OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, CAI INTENDS TO SEEK BANKRUPTCY COURT APPROVAL OF THE DIP FACILITY IF THE COMPANIES COMMENCE THE CHAPTER 11 CASE. ALTHOUGH THE PLAN AND VARIOUS RELATED MATTERS REFERRED TO IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY AND DISCUSSED WITH MLGAF, THE UNOFFICIAL NOTEHOLDERS' COMMITTEE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, AND REFLECT TO SOME EXTENT THE VIEWS OF THOSE PARTIES, THE UNOFFICIAL NOTEHOLDERS' COMMITTEE HAS NOT APPROVED OR ENDORSED THE PLAN OR RECOMMENDED THAT OTHER HOLDERS OF SENIOR NOTES VOTE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN. NEVERTHELESS, MLGAF, THE HOLDER OF A SUBSTANTIAL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF SENIOR NOTES, HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE THE DIP FACILITY, SUBJECT TO FINAL DOCUMENTATION AND CUSTOMARY CONDITIONS. 1. General The DIP Facility, which would be provided by MLGAF, is proposed to consist of the combined deemed and actual purchase on the date of closing of $60,000,000 of DIP Notes (the "Commitment"). The DIP Notes will consist of promissory notes to be issued under the DIP Facility Agreement in an amount equal to (i) the Secured Notes issued under the existing Note Purchase Agreement, which Secured Notes will be converted into DIP Notes as if there had been a purchase under the DIP Facility Agreement in an amount equal to (a) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Secured Notes as of the Petition Date plus (b) all accrued interest and fees, plus (ii) new notes in an amount equal to $60,000,000 minus the aggregate amount of principal, accrued interest, and fees outstanding under the existing Note Purchase Agreement as of the Petition Date. The DIP Notes will bear interest at the rate of 13% per annum, payable at maturity; provided, however, upon receipt of a fully executed commitment for a New Senior Secured Facility, or other exit financing satisfactory to MLGAF in its sole discretion, the interest rate on the DIP Notes will be reduced by 100 basis points. The Commitment would terminate and all outstanding DIP Facility obligations would be due and payable on the date (the "Termination Date") that is the earliest of (a) six (6) months from the date of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case and the filing of the Plan by the Companies, (b) the Consummation Date, or (c) the date of any occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the amended and restated note purchase agreement evidencing the DIP Facility). The proceeds of the DIP Facility will be used to pay certain transaction costs and expenses and to provide working capital for the Companies in accordance with the Budget (as defined in the DIP Facility Agreement). No portion of the proceeds may be used to commence or prosecute any action or objection with respect to MLGAF, its claims against the Companies under the DIP Facility Agreement, or the collateral therefor. 2. Security The DIP Facility Claims will be (a) entitled to superpriority claim status under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject only to a carve-out (the "Carve-Out") in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 for (i) following the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event that would constitute an Event of Default with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, the payment of Allowed Professional Fees incurred by the Companies and any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Case or the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee (in addition to compensation preciously awarded, whether or not paid), (ii) fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1930, and (iii) fees payable to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court; (b) secured under Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the Carve-Out, by a first priority lien on and security interest in all present and after acquired property of CAI; (c) secured under Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the Carve-Out, by a junior lien on and security interest in all property of CAI that is otherwise subject to a valid and perfected lien or security interest on the Petition Date (other than a lien or security interest with respect to the Secured Notes, which will continue to secure CAI's obligations under the DIP Facility); and (d) secured by a lien on and security interest in substantially all present and after acquired property of each of the Subsidiaries. 3. Covenants The DIP Facility contains substantially the same affirmative and negative covenants as those contained in the existing Note Purchase Agreement. In addition, the DIP Facility provides for certain informational and other requirements customary for a debtor-in-possession financing facility, such as (a) the provision by the Companies of monthly financial statements, budgets, cash forecasts, and other financial data; (b) the maintenance of certain cash collateral, lockbox, and other blocked accounts with a bank satisfactory to MLGAF; (c) restrictions on the payment of pre-petition Claims (other than those pre-petition Claims that the Companies are permitted by Bankruptcy Court order to pay); (d) restrictions on the granting of additional superpriority Claims to any other party; and (e) certain financial covenants. 4. Events of Default The DIP Facility contains substantially the same Events of Default as those contained in the existing Note Purchase Agreement. In addition, the occurrence of any of the following is an Event of Default under the DIP Facility: (a) the Chapter 11 Case is dismissed or converted to a liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) a trustee or examiner with enlarged powers is appointed in the Chapter 11 Case; (c) any other superpriority claim or lien equal or superior in priority to those granted with respect to the DIP Facility is granted in the Chapter 11 Case; (d) an order granting final approval of the DIP Facility is not entered by the Bankruptcy Court within 30 days after the Petition Date; (e) any interim order approving the DIP Facility or the Final Order is stayed, modified, reversed, or vacated; (f) a material disruption in the senior management of the Companies or in the composition of the board of directors of CAI occurs without the prior consent of MLGAF; (g) the Companies' request to confirm the Plan is withdrawn or the Plan is amended or modified in a material respect; and (h) the Bankruptcy Court enters an order granting relief from the automatic stay so as to allow a third to proceed against any material asset or assets of the Companies. 5. Additional Significant Provisions The following are certain additional significant provisions of the proposed DIP Facility: (a) a commitment fee of (x) 1% for the three month period commencing with the Petition Date, (y) 4% for the next succeeding three month period, and (z) 2% for each three month period thereafter, of the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Notes will be due quarterly in advance and payable on the Maturity Date (as defined in the DIP Facility Agreement); (b) CAI's obligations under the DIP Facility Agreement will be guaranteed by each of Subsidiaries that is an obligor under the existing Note Purchase Agreement; (c) CAI will be required to maintain its existing cash management system; (d) CAI will be responsible for all costs and expenses of MLGAF (including attorneys' fees and costs) relating to the negotiation, documentation, administration, and enforcement of obligations under the DIP Facility; and (e) MLGAF's obligation to close the DIP Facility is conditioned upon, among other things, receipt by the Companies of the Requisite Acceptances of the Plan, the filing of the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court, entry (within 15 days after the Petition Date) of an interim order approving the DIP Facility, and receipt by MLGAF of certain financial information from CAI; and (f) MLGAF will have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to assume up to 35% of any commitment by another Exit Lender or Lenders in connection with consummation of an acceptable reorganization plan, on terms at least as favorable as those set forth in such commitment. B. Use Of Cash Collateral The Companies' obligations under the Secured Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of CAI and certain of the Subsidiaries. Cash proceeds of such collateral constitutes "cash collateral" as that term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Code requires court approval of the use of cash collateral, unless all parties holding an interest in such cash collateral consent to the use thereof. In order to allow the Companies' continued normal operation during the Chapter 11 Case, MLGAF has consented to the Companies' use of its cash collateral in accordance with the Approved Budget, as that term is defined in the DIP Facility Agreement. C. The New Senior Secured Facility THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ANTICIPATED TERMS OF THE NEW SENIOR SECURED FACILITY AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE NEW SENIOR SECURED FACILITY. CERTAIN TERMS USED HEREIN AND NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN HAVE THE MEANINGS ASSIGNED TO THEM IN THE NEW SENIOR SECURED FACILITY. MLGAF, THE HOLDER OF A SUBSTANTIAL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF SENIOR NOTES, IS CONSIDERING PROVIDING A PORTION OF THE NEW SENIOR SECURED FACILITY, SUBJECT TO AGREEMENT ON TERMS, FINAL DOCUMENTATION, AND SATISFACTION OF CUSTOMARY CONDITIONS. Amounts due and owing under the DIP Facility must be repaid in full on the Consummation Date in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement relating to that Facility, unless otherwise expressly agreed by MLGAF. MLGAF cannot be required to extend the DIP Facility beyond the Consummation Date. Accordingly, following the Consummation Date, the Companies will need financing to replace the DIP Facility and to carry on their businesses and operations. The Companies anticipate that they will finalize the material terms of a new senior secured facility (the "New Senior Secured Facility") prior to the Confirmation Date, pursuant to which the Companies would have access to sufficient working capital to maintain their operations, as well as the operations of the Subsidiaries, during CAI's continued efforts to attract a Strategic Partner. CAI has commenced discussions with MLGAF, which has informed CAI that it is considering providing a portion of the New Senior Secured Facility. BT Alex. Brown has begun contacting other potential participants for the facility, but as of the date of this Disclosure Statement, no definitive agreement has been executed. The Companies anticipate that the New Senior Secured Facility, which would be used to (a) refinance amounts outstanding on the Consummation Date under the DIP Facility and (b) provide additional borrowing capacity to Reorganized CAI and the Subsidiaries following the Consummation Date, may consist of two tranches of secured debt. The first tranche would be secured by a first priority lien on and security interest in substantially all of CAI's assets and the second tranche would be secured by a second priority lien on and security interest in the same assets. As of June 25, 1998, the Companies had not received any proposals or term sheets for any portion of the New Senior Secured Facility from any potential lender other than MLGAF, which has indicated a willingness to participate in a portion of such facility, subject to agreement on satisfactory terms and conditions. The Companies' financial advisor, BT Alex. Brown, expects that any potential New Senior Secured Facility lender, including MLGAF, will require a market interest rate and an equity stake in Reorganized CAI. XI. CERTAIN FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED Holders of Impaired Claims who are entitled to vote on the Plan should carefully consider the following factors before deciding whether to vote to accept or to reject the Plan. A. Maintenance Of Operations And Post-Petition Financing The Companies believe that the Solicitation with respect to the Plan and the subsequent commencement of the Chapter 11 Case in connection with the Plan should not materially adversely affect the Companies' relationships with programmers, customers, employees, and suppliers, as well as the FCC, provided that the Companies can demonstrate (i) sufficient liquidity to continue to operate their businesses and (ii) a likelihood of success for the Plan in a reasonably short time frame. The Companies believe that this Solicitation offers the most expeditious means to achieve success for the Plan. CAI believes that it will be able to obtain debtor-in-possession financing sufficient to operate its businesses following the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case. Indeed, CAI already has reached an agreement with MLGAF for an aggregate commitment of $60 million in debtor-in possession financing. See Section X.A --"Financing During and After the Chapter 11 Case -- The DIP Facility." A condition to the proposed DIP Facility is that the Companies receive the Requisite Acceptances of the Plan. Thus, there can be no assurance at this time that such financing will be available, that it will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, or that even with such financing the Companies will have adequate working capital. Nevertheless, the Companies believe that each condition can be satisfied and the DIP Facility will be available. In addition, PCT and certain non-debtor affiliates of CAI may require additional financing during the Chapter 11 Case. Although the Companies believes that any such financing would be available, similarly, no assurances can be given. The Companies' inability to obtain such financing, in whole or in part, would pose serious risks to the Companies' viability, and could preclude consummation of the Plan or any other recapitalization or reorganization. Finally, it is possible that despite the belief and intent of the Companies, the Solicitation or the subsequent commencement of the Chapter 11 Case could materially adversely affect the relationships between the Companies and their programming suppliers, customers, employees, lessors, or the FCC. If such relationships were materially adversely affected, the Companies' working capital position could materially deteriorate. This deterioration could adversely affect the Companies' ability to complete the Solicitation or, if the Solicitation is successfully completed, to obtain confirmation of the Plan. B. Certain Bankruptcy Considerations 1. General Although the Companies believe that the successful pre-petition Solicitation of votes to accept the Plan should lessen the impact of a subsequent Chapter 11 filing to confirm the Plan, the filing of bankruptcy petitions by or against the Companies and the publicity attendant thereto nevertheless may adversely affect the Companies' businesses. The Companies believe that any such adverse effects may worsen during the pendency of a protracted bankruptcy case. 2. Effect on Non-Filing Subsidiaries or Affiliates The filing of the Chapter 11 Case by the Companies and the publicity attendant thereto might also adversely affect the businesses of the non-filing Operating Subsidiaries. Because the business of CAI is closely related to the businesses of the non-filing Operating Subsidiaries, any downturn in the businesses of the non-filing entities could affect CAI's prospects also. Although CAI does not believe that the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case will adversely affect the businesses of the nonfiling Subsidiaries, if there is a protracted chapter 11 case, the possibility of adverse effects on such Subsidiaries may increase. Further, while CAI does not believe that creditors of the Subsidiaries can assert any legal right to take actions with respect to any Subsidiaries due to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, certain of these creditors could try to take such actions nonetheless. If this were to occur, the affected Subsidiaries would not have the benefit of the "automatic stay." Although there can be no assurance, CAI believes that such actions, if any, by creditors of the Subsidiaries would not have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Subsidiaries, and therefore, on CAI. 3. Failure to Receive Requisite Acceptances If the Requisite Acceptances are received, the Companies intend to file voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and to seek, as promptly thereafter as practicable, confirmation of the Plan. If the Requisite Acceptances are not received, the Companies may nevertheless file petitions for relief under Chapter 11 and seek confirmation of the Plan notwithstanding the dissent of certain Classes of Claims or Interests. In such event, it is possible that, to satisfy the Bankruptcy Code's standards for a "cramdown" confirmation, including the absolute priority rule, the Plan may be modified in a manner that will materially and adversely affect the treatment provided to any Class that has rejected the Plan. Alternatively, the Companies may seek to accomplish an alternative restructuring of its capitalization and its obligations to securityholders and other creditors and obtain their consent to any such restructuring plan by means of another out-of-court solicitation for acceptance of a plan of reorganization for the Companies, or otherwise. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such alternative restructuring arrangement or plan would be similar to or as favorable to the Companies' Creditors as those proposed in the Plan. 4. Failure to Confirm the Plan Even if the Requisite Acceptances are received and, with respect to those Classes deemed to have rejected the Plan the requirements for "cramdown" are met, the Bankruptcy Court, which, as a court of equity may exercise substantial discretion, may choose not to confirm the Plan. Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code requires, among other things, a showing that confirmation of the Plan will not be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Companies (see Section XIV.A -- "Feasibility of the Plan and the Best Interests of Creditors Test -- Feasibility of the Plan"), and that the value of distributions to dissenting holders of Claims and Interest may not be less than the value such holders would receive if the Companies were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (see Section XIV.B -- "Feasibility of the Plan and the Best Interests of Creditors Tests -- Best Interests Test"). Although the Companies believe that the Plan will meet such tests, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion. Additionally, the Solicitation must comply with the requirements of Section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and the applicable Bankruptcy Rules with respect to the length of the solicitation period, compliance with applicable non-bankruptcy law, if any, and in the absence of applicable non-bankruptcy law, the adequacy of the information contained in this Disclosure Statement, as well as in the Short Form Disclosure Statement. If the Bankruptcy Court were to find that the Solicitation did not so comply, all acceptances received pursuant to the Solicitation could be deemed invalid and the Companies could be forced to resolicit acceptances under Section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in which case confirmation of the Plan could be delayed and possibly jeopardized. The Companies believe that the Solicitation complies with the requirements of Section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, that duly executed Ballots will be in compliance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and that the Plan, if the Requisite Acceptances are received, should be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance, however, that the Plan will ever be filed and, if the Plan is filed, there can be no assurance that modifications thereof will not be required for confirmation, or that such modifications would not result in a resolicitation of acceptances. 5. Failure to Consummate the Plan Consummation of the Plan is conditioned upon, among other things, entry of the Confirmation Order and an order (which may be the Confirmation Order) approving the assumption and assignment of all executory contracts and unexpired leases (other than those specifically rejected by the Companies ) to the Reorganized Companies or their assignees, the negotiation and execution of definitive agreement governing the New Senior Secured Facility, and FCC approval of CAI's and CS Wireless' transfer of control applications. As of the date of this Disclosure Statement, there can be no assurance that any or all of the foregoing conditions will met (or waived) or that the other conditions to consummation, if any, will be satisfied. Accordingly, even if the Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, there can be no assurance that the Plan will be consummated and the Restructuring completed. C. Certain Tax Considerations THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MATERIAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN. INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD READ CAREFULLY THE DISCUSSION SET FORTH IN SECTION XIII OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, ENTITLED "CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN" FOR A DISCUSSION OF THE MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND RISKS FOR HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND THE COMPANIES RESULTING FROM THE TRANSACTIONS OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLAN. D. Inherent Uncertainty Of Financial Projections The Projections set forth in Exhibit E hereto cover the Companies' operations through the period ending March 31, 2008. These Projections are based on numerous assumptions that are an integral part of the Projections, including confirmation and consummation of the Plan in accordance with its terms, the anticipated future performance of the Reorganized Companies, industry performance, general business and economic conditions, FCC approvals, competition, adequate financing, absence of material contingent or unliquidated litigation or indemnity claims, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Reorganized Companies and some or all of which may not materialize. In addition, unanticipated events and circumstances occurring subsequent to the date of this Disclosure Statement may affect the actual financial results of the Reorganized Companies' operations. These variations may be material and may adversely affect the ability of the Reorganized Companies to pay the obligations owing to certain holders of Claims entitled to distributions under the Plan and other post-Consummation Date indebtedness. Because the actual results achieved throughout the periods covered by the Projections may vary from the projected results, the Projections should not be relied upon as a guaranty, representation, or other assurance of the actual results that will occur. E. Dividends Reorganized CAI does not anticipate that any dividends will be paid with respect to the New Common Stock in the near term. The Projections contemplate no payment of dividends through at least the end of the projection period ending March 31, 2008. F. Competition The subscription television industry is highly competitive. The principal subscription television competitors in each market are traditional hard-wire cable, DBS and private cable operators. Hard-wire cable companies generally are well established and known to potential customers and have significantly greater financial and other resources than the Companies. Premium movie services offered by the cable television systems have encountered significant competition from the home video cassette recorder industry. In areas where several local off-air VHF/UHF broadcast channels can be received without the benefit of subscription television, cable television systems also have faced competition from the availability of broadcast signals generally and have found market penetration to be more difficult. Legislative, regulatory and technological developments also may result in additional and significant competition, including competition from local telephone companies and from the proposed new LMDS wireless service. For a more complete discussion of the competition faced by the Companies, see Section III.B.1 -- "Business Plans for the Reorganized Companies -- Risk Factors Related to CAI's Business Plan -- Competition and Technology." XII. SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLAN As of the Distribution Date, Reorganized CAI will issue the New Senior Notes, New Common Stock, and Management Options, referred to collectively in the Plan as the "New Securities." The New Securities will be issued for distribution in accordance with the Plan to or for the benefit of holders of Allowed Claims as follows: (a) the New Senior Notes will be issued to the holders of Senior Notes on account of their Allowed Class CAI-5 Claims; (b) the New Common Stock will be issued to the holders of Senior Notes and the holders of Subordinated Notes on account of their respective Allowed Class CAI-5, CAI-6, and PCT-5 Claims; and (c) the Management Options will be issued to certain members of the senior management of Reorganized CAI. The following discussion summarizes the material provisions of the New Senior Notes, New Common Stock, and Management Options, including references, where applicable, to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of Reorganized CAI. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Senior Notes Indenture and Amended CAI Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. A. Description Of Securities To Be Issued 1. New Senior Notes The principal terms of the New Senior Notes are set forth in Exhibit C to this Disclosure Statement. The summary contained therein is qualified by reference to, and may be modified by, the New Senior Notes Indenture substantially in the form of the indenture to be included in the Plan Supplement. 2. New Common Stock The principal terms of the New Common Stock to be issued by Reorganized CAI under the plan shall be as follows: Authorization: 25 million shares Initial Issuance: 15 million shares Par Value: $.01 per share Voting Rights: One vote per share Preemptive Rights: None Dividends: Payable at the discretion of the board of directors of Reorganized CAI 3. Management Options Management Options to purchase up to 10% of the issued shares of New Common Stock will be issued to certain members of the continuing management of Reorganized CAI on the Consummation Date pursuant to the Management Option Plan. For a more detailed discussion of the Management Options, see Section IV.C -- "Corporate Structure and Management of the Companies -- Management Options." B. Resale Of Securities Of Reorganized CAI 1. Registration of Securities Under Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance of the New Senior Notes and New Common Stock to be distributed under the Plan in exchange for Claims against CAI and the subsequent resale of such securities by entities that are not "underwriters" (as defined in Section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code) are not subject to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEX, SUBJECTIVE NATURE OF THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A PARTICULAR HOLDER MAY BE AN UNDERWRITER, CAI MAKES NO REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE ABILITY OF ANY PERSON TO DISPOSE OF THE SECURITIES TO BE DISTRIBUTED UNDER THE PLAN. Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code provides: (b) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection and except with respect to ordinary trading transactions of an entity that is not an issuer, an entity is an underwriter under section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, if such entity -- (A) purchases a claim against, interest in, or claim for an administrative expense in the case concerning, the debtor, if such purchase is with a view to distribution of any security received or to be received in exchange for such a claim or interest; (B) offers to sell securities offered or sold under the plan for the holders of such securities; (C) offers to buy securities offered or sold under the plan from the holders of such securities, if such offer to buy is -- (i) with a view to distribution of such securities; and (ii) under an agreement made in connection with the plan, with the consummation of the plan, or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan; or (D) is an issuer, as used in such section 2(11), with respect to such securities. (2) An entity is not an underwriter under section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 or under paragraph (1) of this subsection with respect to an agreement that provides only for -- (A) (i) the matching or combining of fractional interests in securities offered or sold under the plan into whole interests, or (ii) the purchase or sale of such fractional interests from or to entities receiving such fractional interests under the plan; or (B) the purchase or sale for such entities of such fractional or whole interests as are necessary to adjust for any remaining fractional interests after such matching. (3) An entity other than an entity of the kind specified in paragraph (1) of this subsection is not an underwriter under section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to any securities offered or sold to such entity in the manner specified in subsection (a)(1) of this section. (c) An offer or sale of securities of the kind and in the manner specified under subsection (a)(1) of this section is deemed to be a public offering. (d) The Trust Indenture Act of 1939 does not apply to a note issued under the plan that matures not later than one year after effective date of the plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section XII.B.2 below, CAI has no present intention to register under the Securities Act of 1933 the New Senior Notes or New Common Stock to be (a) distributed to holders of Allowed Senior Note Claims and Subordinated Note Claims on account of and in exchange for such Claims or (b) reserved for future purchase pursuant to the exercise of the Management Options, but does intend to apply for listing of the New Common Stock on a national securities exchange or quoting in a United States automated inter-dealer quotation system and to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to the New Common Stock. 2. Registration Rights Agreement (a) Demand Rights Reorganized CAI and certain holders of shares of New Common Stock who may be deemed to be "underwriters" or "affiliates" for purposes of the Securities Act will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") on or prior to the Consummation Date. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Reorganized CAI will agree to file with the SEC as soon as practicable after receiving a request from the holders of not less than 10% of the shares of New Common Stock (subject to adjustments for stock splits), a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-1 or Form S-3, if use of such a form is then available, to cover resales of "Registrable Securities" (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) by the holders thereof who satisfy certain conditions relating to the provision of information in connection with the Registration Statement. Reorganized CAI will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 180 days of such demand. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, "Registrable Securities" means securities acquired by persons pursuant to or in connection with the Plan (including New Common Stock, New Senior Notes and securities issuable in connection with the New Senior Secured Facility or acquired by their successors and permitted assigns in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement (and any securities issued or issuable with respect thereto). If New Common Stock (or any securities issued or issuable with respect thereto) are listed on any national securities exchange or included in any interdealer quotation system, only those securities held by persons deemed to be "underwriters" or "affiliates" for purposes of the Securities Act will be deemed to be Registrable Securities. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the requisite holders of Registrable Securities who are a party to such agreement will have the right to make up to two demands each year during the six-year term thereof for the filing of a Registration Statement; and, if requested, to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for 90 days, provided, however, that such holders may not make a second demand for registration until 12 months after the date on which the Registration Statement filed pursuant to the first demand for registration shall have been declared effective. Only those holders who are deemed to be "underwriters" or "affiliates" of Reorganized CAI for purposes of the Securities Act will be permitted to demand the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to a shelf registration statement. Reorganized CAI shall, upon receipt of the demand by the requisite holders, provide notice within 15 days to all holders of Registrable Securities who are a party to Registration Rights Agreement. Such holders who respond by requesting the right to include their Registrable Securities for resale pursuant to the Registration Statement (the "Participating Holders") shall be entitled to so participate, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, including, the right of underwriters to reduce the number of shares being offered for resale (in the case of an underwritten offering). In the case of any such reduction, then Reorganized CAI shall include in such registration that amount of Registrable Securities that Reorganized CAI is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) the offering, as follows: first, securities of any Participating Holder that is an "underwriter" or an "affiliate" of Reorganized CAI in an amount sufficient to include all the shares of New Common Stock (or other Registrable Securities, as the case may be) offered by such Participating Holder or an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of such Participating Holder's shares of New Common Stock (or other Registrable Securities, as the case may be) held after the offering to a level that would cause such Participating Holder to no longer be an "underwriter" or an "affiliate" of Reorganized CAI, whichever amount is less; second, such securities duly requested to be included in such Registration Statement by any other Participating Holder, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities held by such holder; and third, all other securities of Reorganized CAI duly requested to be included in such Registration Statement. (b) Piggyback Rights If, during the six-year term of the Registration Rights Agreement, Reorganized CAI proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than by a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8) in a form and a manner that would permit registration of Registrable Securities held by holders that are parties to such agreement, Reorganized CAI shall give notice to such holders of such registration. Upon a written request from such a holder of Registrable Securities requesting that such holder's shares be included in such registration (which request must be received by Reorganized CAI within 20 days after such notice has been given), Reorganized CAI shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities. If Reorganized CAI's underwriters advise that the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration statement cannot be sold in the time or manner requested by Reorganized CAI, then Reorganized CAI shall include in such registration that amount of Registrable Securities that Reorganized CAI is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) the offering, as follows: first, all securities proposed by Reorganized CAI to be sold for its own account; second, securities of any holder of Registrable Securities that has properly requested that its Registrable Securities be included in such registration and that is an "underwriter" or an "affiliate" of Reorganized CAI in an amount sufficient to include all the shares of New Common Stock (or other Registrable Securities, as the case may be) offered by such holder or an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of such holder's shares of New Common Stock (or other Registrable Securities, as the case may be) held after the offering to a level that would cause such holder to no longer be an "underwriter" or an "affiliate" of Reorganized CAI, whichever amount is less; third, such securities duly requested to be included in such registration statement by any other holder, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities held by such holder; and fourth, all other securities of Reorganized CAI duly requested to be included in such registration statement. (c) Other The Registration Rights Agreement contains a variety of other provisions applicable to either demand or piggyback registrations. Reorganized CAI is required to pay specified expenses in connection with such registrations and is required to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The registration rights provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement are transferable to permitted transferees of Registrable Securities that comply with specified procedures. Reorganized CAI securities registrable under such agreement do not include securities listed on a national securities exchange or included in any interdealer quotation system, except such securities held by persons deemed to be "underwriters" or "affiliates" of Reorganized CAI. 3. Lack of Established Market for New Securities There may be certain restrictions on the ability of holders of New Securities to sell, transfer, or otherwise freely dispose of such New Securities received under the Plan if the holders are "issuers" or "dealers" under Sections 2(11) and 2(12), respectively, of the Securities Act of 1933, or "underwriters," as defined in Section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Moreover, the New Securities will be issued pursuant to the Plan to holders of Allowed Senior Note Claims and Allowed Subordinated Note Claims, some of whom may prefer to liquidate their investment rather than hold such securities on a long-term basis. Accordingly, the market for the New Securities may be volatile, at least for an initial period after the Distribution Date, and indeed may be depressed for a period of time immediately following the Consummation Date until the market has had time to absorb these sales and to observe the post-Consummation Date performance of Reorganized CAI. Other factors, such as the statutory restrictions on transferability and the likelihood that Reorganized CAI will not declare dividends for the foreseeable future, may further depress the market for the New Common Stock. In addition, although the Plan and the Projections were prepared based upon an assumed reorganization value range as described below in Section XIV.D -- "Feasibility of the Plan and the Best Interests of Creditors Test -- Valuation Of Reorganized CAI," such valuation was not an estimate of the price at which the New Securities may trade in the market, and CAI has not attempted to make any such estimate in connection with the development of the Plan. No assurance can be given as to the market price that will prevail following the Distribution Date. See Section XIV.D -- "Feasibility of the Plan and the Best Interests of Creditors Test -- Valuation Of Reorganized CAI". XIII. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION, WHICH WAS PREPARED BY CAI AFTER CONSULTATION WITH ITS COUNSEL, SKADDEN, ARPS, SLATE, MEAGHER & FLOM LLP, SUMMARIZES CERTAIN ANTICIPATED FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTIONS PROPOSED IN THE PLAN TO THE COMPANIES AND TO THE HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANIES. THE SUMMARY IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS BASED ON THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "TAX CODE"), THE TREASURY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, JUDICIAL AUTHORITY AND CURRENT ADMINISTRATIVE RULINGS AND PRACTICE, ALL AS IN EFFECT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF AND ALL OF WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, POSSIBLY WITH RETROACTIVE EFFECT THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANIES, THEIR CREDITORS AND THEIR EQUITY SECURITY HOLDERS. THE SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL ASPECTS OF FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR HOLDER OF A CLAIM IN LIGHT OF ITS PARTICULAR FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OR TO CERTAIN TYPES OF HOLDERS OF CLAIMS SUBJECT TO SPECIAL TREATMENT UNDER THE TAX CODE (FOR EXAMPLE, FOREIGNERS, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, BROKER-DEALERS, LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS) AND ALSO DOES NOT DISCUSS ANY ASPECTS OF STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN TAXATION. FURTHERMORE, THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REORGANIZATION TO CREDITORS HOLDING CLASS CAI-4 AND PCT-4 CLAIMS. IN ADDITION, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME MAY ELAPSE BETWEEN THE CONFIRMATION DATE AND THE RECEIPT OF A FINAL DISTRIBUTION UNDER THE PLAN. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, SUCH AS THE ENACTMENT OF ADDITIONAL TAX LEGISLATION, COURT DECISIONS OR ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES, COULD AFFECT THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER. NO RULING WILL BE SOUGHT FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (THE "SERVICE") WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE TAX ASPECTS OF THE PLAN AND NO OPINION OF COUNSEL HAS HERETOFORE BEEN OBTAINED BY THE COMPANIES WITH RESPECT THERETO. ACCORDINGLY, EACH HOLDER OF A CLAIM IS STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT WITH ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN. A. Federal Income Tax Consequences To The Companies 1. Cancellation of Indebtedness Income A taxpayer generally must include in gross income the amount of any discharged indebtedness realized during the taxable year, except to the extent payment of such indebtedness would have given rise to a deduction. Such amounts, however, are not included in income where the discharge of indebtedness is accomplished pursuant to a plan approved by the court in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. Instead, the amount of discharged indebtedness that would otherwise have been required to be included in income will be applied to reduce certain tax attributes of the taxpayer in the following order: net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs"), general business credit carryovers, capital loss carryovers, the taxpayer's basis in property and foreign tax credit carryovers. Under the Plan, satisfaction of the Claims would give rise to discharge of indebtedness income to the Reorganized Companies in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the adjusted issue prices of those Claims that constitute securities for federal income tax purposes and the amount of those Claims that do not so constitute securities and (ii) the sum of (a) the amount of Cash, if any, paid by the Reorganized Companies in partial satisfaction of such Claims and (b) the issue price of any debt instrument and the fair market value of stock and other consideration issued in satisfaction of such Claims, except to the extent that the discharged Claims would have given rise to a deduction had they been paid in full and a deduction for such amounts has not already been claimed. CAI estimates that as of July 27, 1998, the amount of its indebtedness that would be impaired under the Plan is approximately $322 million, which includes approximately $14 million of accruals of interest that have not been deducted in computing taxable income (loss) and that CAI believes would have given rise to a deduction if paid, and that the aggregate amount of consideration to be issued in satisfaction of such indebtedness is approximately $260 million as determined for federal income tax purposes based on the projected recoveries under the Plan (see Section I-- "Introduction -- Summary Of Classification And Treatment Of Claims And Equity Interests") resulting in discharge of indebtedness of approximately $62 million. The foregoing dollar figures assume that the issue price (i.e., the fair market value on the Consummation Date) of the New Senior Notes (provided that public trading occurs on an "established securities market") is $100 million. To the extent the issue price of the New Senior Notes differs from $100 million, the foregoing dollar figures must be adjusted accordingly. In addition, the appropriate valuation of the consideration to be paid, is subject to both legal and factual uncertainty (including issues relating to the proper classification of the securities to be issued, whether or not they are publicly traded and other factors discussed), and thus the amount of discharge of indebtedness could differ substantially from the amounts set forth above. Because the discharge will be accomplished pursuant to a plan approved by a court in a case under the Bankruptcy Code and affects certain accruals which have not been deducted in computing taxable income, Reorganized CAI will not be required to recognize income in respect of such discharge. Instead, the amount of such discharge (less the amount of discharged accruals which have not been deducted in computing taxable income) will reduce tax attributes existing after the determination of Reorganized CAI's taxable income for the taxable year in which the discharge occurs. 2. Amount and Utilization of Net Operating Loss Carryforwards (a) General Limitation on Utilization of NOLs Following an Ownership Change Based on its tax returns as filed and its estimates for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, CAI believes that, as of March 31, 1998, it had approximately $257.9 million of NOLs on a consolidated federal income tax basis ("Consolidated NOLs") of which approximately $140 million are separately allocable to CAI. CAI estimates that following consummation of the Plan (and application of the discharge of indebtedness rules discussed above and the attribute reduction rules of the Tax Code Section 382 Bankruptcy Exception discussed below), it will have Consolidated NOLs of approximately $157 million, of which approximately $40 million will be separately allocable to Reorganized CAI. In general, a corporation is permitted to carry forward an unutilized net operating loss for 15 years (20 years for such losses incurred in taxable years beginning after August 5, 1997) following the year in which the net operating loss is incurred and may use such NOLs to offset taxable income recognized in years prior to expiration of the NOLs. The schedule set forth below shows CAI's estimates of the approximate amount of NOLs expiring in each of the years indicated.

In general, an ownership change for these purposes occurs when the total percentage of stock (determined on the basis of value) of a corporation owned by one or more "5% shareholders" of the corporation has increased by more than 50 percentage points of the total amount of stock in the corporation over the lowest total of the percentage of such stock that was owned by such "5% shareholders" at any time during the applicable testing period. For these purposes, certain "public groups" of less-than 5% shareholders are treated as a single 5% shareholder. The testing period is generally the shorter of (i) three years or (ii) the period of time since the corporation's most recent prior ownership change. CAI's and each of its consolidated Subsidiaries' ownership change should occur on the Consummation Date (the "Change Date"). Section 382 of the Tax Code generally restricts a corporation's utilization of its NOLs after the corporation undergoes an ownership change by limiting the amount of income earned by the corporation after the ownership change that may be offset by the NOLs that arose prior to the ownership change to an annual amount equal to the equity value of the corporation on the Change Date multiplied by the "long term tax-exempt rate," currently 5.15% (the "Section 382 Limitation"). Where the general Section 382 Limitation applies, if the loss corporation does not continue its pre-ownership change business enterprise for two years following the Change Date, its Section 382 Limitation will be zero (the "Continuity of Business Requirement"). CAI has taken the position in filing its tax returns to date that it underwent an ownership change on September 29, 1995. Based on CAI's computation of the effect of the Section 382 Limitation resulting from that ownership change, $6.3 million of the Consolidated NOLs may not be utilized prior to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000. Moreover, as more fully described above in Section II.E -- "General Information -- History of CAI," on March 3, 1998, CAI acquired the BANX Securities which were convertible into or could be exercised to obtain approximately a 45% pro forma ownership interest in CAI. While the position is not free from doubt, CAI does not believe that the acquisition of the BANX Securities should adversely affect its NOLs or the Consolidated NOLs. (b) The Bankruptcy Exception Notwithstanding an ownership change under Section 382(g) of the Tax Code, the Section 382 Limitation does not apply (unless the corporation elects for it to apply), where (i) immediately before the ownership change the corporation is under the jurisdiction of a court pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) such ownership change results from the court-approved plan of reorganization and (iii) the post-reorganization stock ownership of the corporation satisfies certain conditions (the "Bankruptcy Exception"). The stock ownership condition requires that the stockholders and certain creditors of the corporation (described below), determined immediately before the ownership change, own (after such ownership change and as a result of being stockholders or creditors immediately before such change) in the aggregate, stock of the corporation having 50% or more of both the value and voting power of the total outstanding stock of the reorganized corporation. For purposes of the Bankruptcy Exception, stock received by creditors in satisfaction of their debt claims against the corporation will only be counted to the extent such creditors received such stock in satisfaction of (i) indebtedness held by such creditors for at least 18 months before the filing of the Chapter 11 petition with respect to the corporation or (ii) indebtedness which arose in the ordinary course of the trade or business of the corporation and which at all times has been held by such creditors. For purposes of determining whether the post-reorganization stock ownership requirements are met, Reorganized CAI generally must determine whether a creditor who becomes a 5% shareholder as a result of the reorganization held the debt for the requisite 18 months prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, and may rely on a written statement of the creditor, signed under penalties of perjury, to that effect. In general, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, Reorganized CAI may presume that a creditor that is not a 5% shareholder immediately after the ownership change held the debt for the 18-month period. Even where the Bankruptcy Exception applies, Reorganized CAI's ability to utilize the Consolidated NOLs (including its separate NOLs and other tax attributes) will be effectively eliminated if Reorganized CAI undergoes another ownership change within two years of the Consummation Date. In addition, although the Continuity of Business Requirement discussed above is not applicable to an ownership change to which the Bankruptcy Exception applies, Reorganized CAI's ability to utilize the Consolidated NOLs following consummation of the Plan may be challenged under Section 269 of the Tax Code, as discussed below, unless Reorganized CAI and its Subsidiaries conduct more than an insignificant amount of an active trade or business following the ownership change. Because (i) CAI will be under the jurisdiction of a court in a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) an ownership change with respect to CAI is expected to occur as a result of the confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court and (iii) CAI believes that the post-Consummation Date stock ownership requirements of the Bankruptcy Exception should be met and confirmed in accordance with the rules discussed above, CAI intends to take the position that the Bankruptcy Exception will apply to the ownership change that will occur with respect to itself and, although there is no direct authority on point, its Subsidiaries on the Consummation Date. Furthermore, CAI intends to take the position that Section 269 of the Tax Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder should not apply because, among other things, CAI expects that it and each of its Subsidiaries will continue their respective current operations following the Consummation Date. CAI believes that the application of the Bankruptcy Exception would be beneficial, and, accordingly, CAI does not expect that Reorganized CAI will make the election to have the Section 382 Limitation apply in lieu of the Bankruptcy Exception. There can be no assurance that the Service will not seek to challenge CAI's position that the Bankruptcy Exception applies to the ownership change or that such a challenge, if asserted, would not be sustained by a court of law. If the Service were successful in challenging CAI's position, Reorganized CAI's NOLs and the Consolidated NOLs generally would be subject to the Section 382 Limitation (based on the post-ownership change valuation of Reorganized CAI) discussed above (increased to reflect the surrender or cancellation of creditors' Claims for stock). In addition, if the Service were to assert successfully that Section 269 of the Tax Code applies to Reorganized CAI, Reorganized CAI's ability to utilize its NOLs and the Consolidated NOLs following the Consummation Date could be eliminated. As discussed below, CAI believes that Section 269 should not apply, and would vigorously contest any attempt by the Service to apply Section 269 of the Tax Code in this manner. (c) Reduction in NOLs Required by Bankruptcy Exception Although Reorganized CAI's NOLs will not be subject to the Section 382 Limitation if the Bankruptcy Exception applies, its NOLs nevertheless will be reduced by any interest deductions taken by CAI during the taxable year in which the Consummation Date occurs, on or before such date, and the three preceding taxable years with respect to indebtedness that was converted into, or exchanged for, stock pursuant to the Plan. (d) Risks of a Second Section 382(g) Ownership Change Reorganized CAI's Consolidated NOLs and other tax attributes would be eliminated in their entirety if a second ownership change were to occur during the two-year period following the ownership change that will occur on the Consummation Date. A second ownership change that occurs after the two-year period following the Consummation Date would subject Reorganized CAI's utilization of its and its consolidated group's pre-Consummation Date NOLs to the general Section 382 Limitation, and could impair or essentially eliminate the use of NOLs and other tax attributes existing at the time of such second ownership change. There are no restrictions on the transferability of New Common Stock to avoid an ownership change within the two years following the Consummation Date. Accordingly, holders of Claims should not depend upon the continued existence or utilization of CAI's Consolidated NOLs following consummation of the Plan. (e) Section 269 of the Tax Code Section 269 of the Tax Code grants the Service the power to disallow any deduction, credit or allowance (including the utilization of NOLs) where a corporation undertakes certain transactions for the principal purpose of avoiding or evading Federal income taxes. Specifically, Treasury Regulation Section 1.269-3(d) provides that unless the corporation carries on "more than an insignificant amount" of an active trade or business (which does not have to be the historic trade or business) during and subsequent to the Title 11 or similar case, an acquisition of control in connection with an ownership change to which the Bankruptcy Exception applies is considered to be made for the prohibited purpose, absent strong evidence to the contrary. The determination of whether more than an insignificant amount of business is being carried on is based on all the facts and circumstances, including the amount of business assets that remain in use and the number of employees who continue employment. As described in this Disclosure Statement, CAI intends that it and each of its Subsidiaries will continue operating in substantially the same businesses in which they now operate. Although there can be no certainty due to the factual nature of the Section 269 inquiry, CAI believes that the application of Section 269 of the Tax Code should not adversely affect the NOLs that it and its Subsidiaries will retain after the Consummation Date and that, subject to the other risks described herein, those NOLs should be available to be utilized against future operating income. Moreover, Reorganized CAI would vigorously contest any challenge brought by the Service under Section 269 of the Tax Code. 3. Deductions of Accrued Interest and Original Issue Discount by Reorganized CAI To the extent a portion of the consideration issued to creditors pursuant to the Plan is attributable to accrued and unpaid interest on their Claims, Reorganized CAI would be entitled to interest deductions in the amount of such accrued interest, to the extent CAI has not already deducted such amounts. Although the amount of consideration allocable to accrued interest where creditors are receiving less than the full principal amount of their claims is unclear under present law, CAI intends to allocate the full amount of the consideration transferred to creditors pursuant to the Plan to the principal amount of such creditors' Claims and to take the position that no amount of the consideration to be received by creditors pursuant to the Plan is attributable to accrued interest on such creditors' Claims. The applicable high yield discount obligation ("AHYDO") rules of sections 163(e)(5) and 163(i) of the Tax Code may affect Reorganized CAI's ability to deduct interest payments made on the New Senior Notes. Under those rules, Reorganized CAI would not be entitled to deduct a portion of the original issue discount accruing on the New Senior Notes and would be allowed to deduct the remainder of the original issue discount only when paid. The AHYDO rules apply to debt instruments that have a term of more than five years, have a yield to maturity that equals or exceeds five percentage points over the "applicable federal rate" and have "significant original issue discount." Because the amount of original issue discount, if any, and the yield to maturity will be determined at the time that a New Senior Note is issued, it is not possible to determine the precise effect of the AHYDO rules if they apply. However, CAI does not believe that the AHYDO rules should materially adversely affect Reorganized CAI. Moreover, if the AHYDO rules applied to a New Senior Note, a corporate holder may be treated as receiving dividend income (to the extent of Reorganized CAI's current and accumulated earnings and profits) solely for purposes of the dividends received deduction, with respect to that portion of the original issue discount for which Reorganized CAI is denied a deduction. 4. Tax Classification of the New Senior Notes CAI intends to take the position that the New Senior Notes are debt for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, CAI intends to (i) measure its discharge of indebtedness income with respect to the Senior Note Claims by reference to the issue price of the New Senior Notes and (ii) deduct as interest and report to holders as interest original issue discount as it accrues on the New Senior Notes (except to the extent the AHYDO rules, as discussed above, apply). CAI expects that the New Senior Notes will be "traded on an established securities market" within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Tax Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, and accordingly, that their "issue price" will be their fair market value determined as of the Consummation Date. Notwithstanding CAI's intended reporting positions set forth above, based on the terms of the New Senior Notes and the financial condition of Reorganized CAI, there is a significant risk that the Service could successfully assert that the New Senior Notes are properly characterized as equity interests in Reorganized CAI and not as debt for Federal income tax purposes. In such event, CAI would have a significantly greater amount of discharge of indebtedness under the Plan and a correspondingly larger reduction in its NOLs, and would not be permitted to deduct any amounts payable under the New Senior Notes. CAI believes, however, that it would qualify for the Bankruptcy Exception even if the New Senior Notes were treated as equity for tax purposes. Due to the factual nature of the debt characterization issue, there can be no assurance that CAI's reporting positions with respect to these issues will be sustained. 5. Alternative Minimum Tax For purposes of computing Reorganized CAI's regular tax liability, all of the taxable income recognized in a taxable year generally may be offset by the carryover of NOLs (to the extent permitted under the Tax Code). Although all of Reorganized CAI's regular tax liability for a given year may be reduced to zero by virtue of its NOLs, in any given year, Reorganized CAI may be subject to the alternative minimum tax ("AMT"). The AMT imposes a tax equal to the amount by which 20% of a corporation's alternative minimum taxable income ("AMTI") exceeds the corporation's regular tax liability. AMTI is calculated pursuant to specific rules in the Tax Code which eliminate or limit the availability of certain tax deductions and which include as income certain amounts not generally included in computing regular tax liability. Of particular importance to Reorganized CAI is that in calculating AMTI, only 90% of a corporation's AMTI may be offset by net operating loss carryovers (as computed for these purposes). Thus, in any year for which Reorganized CAI may be subject to the AMT, any AMTI recognized would be taxable at an effective rate of 2% (i.e., 10% of the 20% AMT tax rate). B. Federal Income Tax Consequences To Holders Of Claims 1. Classes CAI-1, CAI-2, and CAI-3; Classes PCT-1, PCT-2, and PCT-3 On the exchange of its Claim for cash or property, each holder of a Class CAI-1, CAI-2, CAI-3, PCT-1, PCT-2 or PCT-3 Claim will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount realized on the exchange and its tax basis in such Claim. The amount realized will be equal to the aggregate fair market value of the cash and/or property received to the extent not allocable to interest. (See Section XIII.A.3 -- "Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Companies -- Deductions of Accrued Interest and Original Issue Discount by Reorganized CAI.") The character and taxation of any recognized gain or loss will depend on the status of the creditor, the nature of the Claim in its hands and its holding period. To the extent a creditor receives property constituting a new obligation which, under section 1001 of the Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, does not differ materially in kind or extent from such creditor's Claim, such new obligation should be treated as a continuation of such Claim. As a result, to the extent such new obligation is treated as a continuation of such Claim, there should be no federal income tax consequences to such creditor. Each creditor should consult with its own tax advisors regarding the consequences to it of receiving cash or property, including a new obligation, in exchange in whole or in part for its Claim. 2. Class CAI-5 Senior Note Claims; Classes CAI-6 and PCT-5 Subordinated Note Claims (a) General The federal income tax consequences of the implementation of the Plan to (i) a Class CAI-5 creditor receiving Cash, New Senior Notes and New Common Stock under the Plan (a "Senior Creditor") and (ii) a Class CAI-6 (and, for purposes of this discussion, Class PCT-5) creditor receiving New Common Stock (a "Subordinated Creditor") will depend primarily on a number of factors, including whether the New Senior Notes are properly classified as debt or equity for federal income tax purposes, whether the exchanged claim (a "Senior Claim" or a "Subordinated Claim," respectively) is an obligation that constitutes a "security" for federal income tax purposes (a "Tax Security"), and, if a Senior Claim or a Junior Claim, as the case may be, constitutes a Tax Security, on whether the New Senior Notes constitute Tax Securities and whether any of the Senior Claims, the Junior Claims, or the New Senior Notes are considered traded on an established securities market ("publicly traded") for purposes of the original issue discount rules, as well as marketable securities in the case of the Senior Claims or Junior Claims or readily tradable in the case of the New Senior Notes, in each case for purposes of the installment sales rules of the Tax Code. The term "security" is not defined in the Tax Code or the Treasury Regulations. Whether a Senior Claim or a Junior Claim constitutes a Tax Security is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the origin and nature of the Senior Claim, the Junior Claim and its respective maturity date. Generally, stock, and bonds or debentures with an original term of at least ten years, have been considered to be Tax Securities. In contrast, instruments with terms of five years or less rarely qualify as Tax Securities. CAI believes that it is likely, although not entirely free from doubt, that the Senior Notes and the Subordinated Notes should be treated as Tax Securities, and intends to take the position that the New Senior Notes are Tax Securities for federal income tax purposes. The exchange of Senior Note Claims for Cash, New Senior Notes and New Common Stock and the exchange of Subordinated Note Claims for New Common Stock should constitute a recapitalization pursuant to a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Tax Code. Accordingly, under current law (i) no gain (except as discussed below in the case of the exchange of Senior Note Claims) or loss should be recognized by holders of Class CAI-5 or Class CAI-6 Claims pursuant to the Plan, (ii) except to the extent, if any, such Cash or securities are treated as received in satisfaction of interest accrued on such creditor's Claim after the beginning of such creditor's holding period ("accrued interest") (see "Accrued Interest on Senior and Subordinated Note Claims," below), holders of Class CAI-5 and Class CAI-6 Claims should allocate their respective basis in such Claims as follows: in the case of Senior Note Claims, (x) decrease such basis by the amount of Cash received (other than the amount of Cash attributable to accrued interest), (y) increase such basis by the amount of gain, if any, to be recognized as described below and (z) allocate such basis as adjusted among the New Senior Notes and New Common Stock based on the relative fair market value of such securities and, in the case of Subordinated Note Claims, allocate such basis to the New Common Stock, and (iii) holders of Class CAI-5 and Class CAI-6 Claims should have tax holding periods for the New Senior Notes and New Common Stock received in exchange for their Claims (except to the extent such securities are attributable to accrued interest) that include their respective tax holding periods for such Claims. As discussed in "Tax Classification of New Senior Notes," above, although the matter is not free from doubt, CAI intends to treat the New Senior Notes as debt rather than equity for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, holders of Senior Notes Claims generally would recognize gain with respect to the exchange equal to the lesser of (X) their realized gain on the exchange (i.e., the sum of the Cash received plus the fair market value of the New Common Stock received plus the issue price of the New Senior Notes received (except to the extent such Cash or securities are attributable to accrued interest), less the holder's tax basis in such Claims) or (Y) the fair market value of the amount by which the principal amount of the New Senior Notes exceeds the principal amount of the exchanged Senior Notes plus the Cash received (except to the extent such Cash or securities are attributable to accrued interest). (b) Accrued Interest on Senior and Subordinated Note Claims As discussed above, the manner in which consideration is to be allocated between accrued unpaid interest and principal of the Senior Note Claims and Subordinated Note Claims for federal income tax purposes is unclear under present law. Although there can be no assurance with respect to the issue, CAI intends to take the position that no portion of the consideration distributed to holders of Class CAI-5 Claims or Class CAI-6 Claims pursuant to the Plan is allocable to accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Note Claims or the Subordinated Note Claims. See Section XIII.A.3 -- "Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Companies -- Deduction of Accrued Interest and Original Issue Discount by CAI," above. A holder of a Class CAI-5 or CAI-6 Claim (a "Note Claim") that previously included in income accrued but unpaid interest attributable to its Note Claim should recognize an ordinary loss to the extent that such previously included accrued interest exceeds the amount of consideration received by the holder that is attributable to accrued interest for federal income tax purposes. To the extent a holder of a Note Claim did not previously include in income accrued but unpaid interest attributable to its Note Claim, any portion of the consideration received that is allocable to accrued but unpaid interest should be recognized as ordinary income, regardless of whether the holder realizes an overall gain or loss upon the surrender of its Claim or whether such gain or loss is recognized. Based on CAI's position that no portion of the consideration is allocable to accrued and unpaid interest on the Note Claims, no such income inclusion should be required. Notwithstanding the general discussion above, the basis of a holder of a Note Claim in New Senior Notes or New Common Stock, as the case may be, treated as received in satisfaction of accrued interest on the Note Claims, if any, should be equal to the amount of interest income treated as satisfied by the receipt of such instruments. Additionally, a creditor's tax holding period in such stock or bonds, as the case may be, should begin on the day following the date on which it has a right to receive such securities. To the extent a creditor is treated as receiving stock or new securities in exchange for accrued interest on its Claim, absent an express allocation, it is unclear which of the New Common Stock or New Senior Notes, as the case may be, would be treated as satisfying any such accrued interest. (c) Original Issue Discount on the New Senior Notes The New Senior Notes would be treated as issued with original issue discount to the extent their "stated redemption price at maturity" exceeds their "issue price." An instrument's stated redemption price at maturity includes all payments required to be made over the term of the instrument other than payments of "qualified stated interest" (defined generally as interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually at a single fixed rate that appropriately takes into account the length of periods between payments). No payments on the New Senior Notes will constitute qualified stated interest. Accordingly, all interest on the New Senior Notes will be accounted for under the original issue discount rules. The stated redemption price at maturity of the New Senior Notes should equal their stated principal amount. The determination of the "issue price" of the New Senior Notes depends on whether either the Senior Note Claims or the New Senior Notes are "traded on an established securities market" for purposes of the original issue discount rules. Although the matter is not free from doubt, CAI believes that the issue price of the New Senior Notes would be determined by reference to the rules applicable to debt that is traded on an established securities market or is issued in exchange for property traded on an established securities market. Accordingly, the issue price of the New Senior Notes generally would be their fair market value immediately following their issuance. A holder of New Senior Notes would be required to include such original issue discount in taxable income as it accrues using a constant yield to maturity method, by allocating to each day during the taxable year in which the holder holds the New Senior Discount Note a pro rata portion of the original issue discount on such debt instrument which is attributable to the "accrual period" in which such day is included. The amount of the original issue discount which is attributable to each full accrual period will be the product of the "adjusted issue price" at the beginning of such accrual period multiplied by the "yield to maturity" of the debt instrument. The adjusted issue price is the issue price of a debt instrument increased by the accrued original issue discount for all prior accrual periods and decreased by certain payments (other than qualified stated interest) made by the issuer to the holder. The yield to maturity is the discount rate, which when applied to all payments (other than qualified stated interest) under a debt instrument results in a present value equal to the issue price. As a consequence, a holder of New Senior Notes generally would be required to include amounts of original issue discount in its taxable income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable thereto. (d) Bond Premium on New Senior Notes In general, if the tax basis of New Senior Notes in the hands of a holder of a Senior Note Claim exceeds the stated redemption price at maturity of such New Senior Notes, the New Senior Notes will be considered to be issued with "bond premium." To amortize bond premium, the holder must make an election that applies to all debt instruments it holds or subsequently acquires. A holder that elects to amortize bond premium must reduce its tax basis in the New Senior Notes by an amount equal to the amortized premium. Additionally, a holder that has a tax basis in its New Senior Notes in excess of the issue price of such Notes should be permitted to reduce its original issue discount income with respect to such Notes each accrual period by such excess at the rate at which the original issue discount would be included in income. Holders of Senior Note claims having a relatively high basis in their Senior Note Claims should be able to offset a substantial portion of their original issue discount income with respect to the New Senior Notes by amortizing this premium. (e) Market Discount The Tax Code generally requires holders of debt instruments with "market discount," (generally, the amount by which the "revised issue price" of a debt instrument (i.e., the sum of its issue price plus accrued original issue discount) exceeds the holder's adjusted tax basis in such debt instrument), to treat as ordinary income any gain realized on the disposition of such debt instruments to the extent of the market discount accrued during the holder's period of ownership. An exception is made for certain tax-free exchanges, such as the consummation of the Plan. In such cases, however, on a subsequent disposition of the stock or securities received in such nonrecognition transactions, gain is treated as ordinary income to the extent of any market discount accrued prior to (with respect to the old debt instruments) and after (with respect to the new debt instruments) the nontaxable exchange. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the potential application of the market discount rules to them in light of their individual circumstances, and the advisability of making an election to accrue market discount on a current basis. (f) Treatment of Distributions and Constructive Distributions if New Senior Notes are Characterized as Equity If, contrary to CAI's intended reporting position, the New Senior Notes were treated as equity for tax purposes, distributions, if any, on the New Senior Notes prior to maturity generally would be treated as dividends to the extent of Reorganized CAI's current and accumulated earnings and profits, then as non-taxable returns of capital to the extent of a holder's tax basis, and then as capital gains to the extent distributions exceed a holder's basis. In addition, if the New Senior Notes were treated as equity, it is likely that the constructive dividend rules of Section 305 of the Tax Code would apply. In general, Section 305 of the Tax Code requires that a holder of preferred stock accrue the difference between the redemption price and the issue price of such stock as dividend income to the extent of the available earnings and profits of the issuer on a constant yield to maturity basis similar to the original issue discount methodology discussed above. In general, the issue price of the New Senior Notes, if they are treated as equity, would be their fair market value on the date of issuance, and their redemption price would be the principal amount. The difference between these two amounts would be accrued into a holder's income (to the extent of Reorganized CAI's current and accumulated earnings and profits) over the New Senior Notes' six-year term at their yield to maturity calculated for this purpose. Because CAI presently has no accumulated earnings and profits for tax purposes, holders would not be required to include any dividend income except to the extent that Reorganized CAI has earnings and profits in future taxable years (including earnings and profits attributable to discharge of indebtedness on the Consummation Date or the disposition of assets on or prior to the Consummation Date). To the extent Reorganized CAI does not have earnings and profits for tax purposes in future taxable years, holders should not recognize constructive dividend income. (g) Sale, Exchange or Redemption of New Common Stock and New Senior Notes The sale or exchange of New Common Stock generally should result in capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the holder's tax basis in such New Common Stock. Depending upon the circumstances, a redemption by Reorganized CAI of New Common Stock may result in capital gain or loss to the holder of such stock, or may be treated as a dividend, generally taxable as ordinary income to the holder to the extent of Reorganized CAI's earnings and profits at the time of the redemption. In general, subject to the market discount rules discussed above, the sale, exchange or redemption of the New Senior Notes would result in capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the holder's tax basis in such New Senior Notes. If, contrary to CAI's intended reporting position, the New Senior Notes are classified as equity, the sale or exchange of the New Senior Notes generally should result in capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the holder's tax basis in such New Senior Notes. Depending upon the circumstances, a redemption by Reorganized CAI of New Senior Notes may result in capital gain or loss to the holder of such notes, or may be treated as a dividend, generally taxable as ordinary income to the holder to the extent of Reorganized CAI's earnings and profits at the time of the redemption. XIV. FEASIBILITY OF THE PLAN AND THE BEST INTERESTS OF CREDITORS TEST A. Feasibility Of The Plan In connection with confirmation of the Plan, Section 1129(a)(11) requires that the Bankruptcy Court find that confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Companies. This is the so-called "feasibility" test. To support their belief in the feasibility of the Plan, the Companies, with the assistance of their financial advisors, have prepared financial projections (the "Projections") of the Companies' through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, as set forth in Exhibit E to this Disclosure Statement. The Projections indicate that the Reorganized Companies should have sufficient cash flow to make the payments required under the Plan on the Consummation Date and to repay and service debt obligations and to maintain operations on a going-forward basis as CAI seeks to attract a Strategic Partner. Accordingly, the Companies believe that the Plan complies with the standard of Section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code. As noted in the Projections, however, the Companies caution that no representations can be made as to the accuracy of the Projections or as to the Reorganized Companies' ability to achieve the projected results. Many of the assumptions upon which the Projections are based are subject to uncertainties outside the control of the Companies. Some assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and events and circumstances occurring after the date on which the Projections were prepared may be different from those assumed or may be unanticipated, and may adversely affect the Companies' financial results. As discussed elsewhere in this Disclosure Statement, the Companies have experienced difficulty in (a) maintaining liquidity, (b) raising sufficient funds to maintain the level capital expenditure necessary to expand their businesses, and (c) attracting a Strategic Investor or Strategic Partner, in large part due to CAI's current capital structure, but also due to actual or perceived problems in the wireless cable industry in general. Therefore, the actual results may vary from the projected results and the variations may be material and adverse. See Section X.I -- "Certain Factors To Be Considered" for a discussion of certain risk factors that could affect financial feasibility of the Plan. THE PROJECTIONS WERE NOT PREPARED WITH A VIEW TOWARD COMPLIANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OR THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION REGARDING PROJECTIONS. FURTHERMORE, THE PROJECTIONS HAVE NOT BEEN AUDITED BY THE COMPANIES' INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANTS. ALTHOUGH PRESENTED WITH NUMERICAL SPECIFICITY, THE PROJECTIONS ARE BASED UPON A VARIETY OF ASSUMPTIONS, SOME OF WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN ACHIEVED TO DATE AND MAY NOT BE REALIZED IN THE FUTURE, AND ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS, LITIGATION, ECONOMIC, AND COMPETITIVE UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE COMPANIES. CONSEQUENTLY, THE PROJECTIONS SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY THE COMPANIES, OR ANY OTHER PERSON, THAT THE PROJECTIONS WILL BE REALIZED. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY VARY MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PRESENTED IN THE PROJECTIONS. B. Best Interests Test Even if the Plan is accepted by each class of holders of Impaired Claims, the Bankruptcy Code requires that the Bankruptcy Court find that the Plan is in the best interests of all holders of Claims that are Impaired by the Plan and that have not accepted the Plan. The "best interests" test, set forth in Section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, requires the Bankruptcy Court to find either that all members of an impaired class of claims have accepted the plan or that the plan will provide a member who has not accepted the plan with a recovery of property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the debtor were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date. To calculate the probable distribution to members of each impaired class of holders of claims if a debtor were liquidated under Chapter 7, the Bankruptcy Court must first determine the aggregate dollar amount that would be generated from the debtor's assets if its Chapter 11 case were converted to a Chapter 7 case under the Bankruptcy Code. This "liquidation value" would consist primarily of the proceeds from a forced sale of the debtor's assets by a Chapter 7 trustee. The amount of liquidation value available to holders of Unsecured Claims against the Companies would be reduced by, first, the claims of Secured Creditors (to the extent of the value of their collateral), and second, by the costs and expenses of liquidation, as well as by other administrative expenses and costs of both the Chapter 7 case and the Chapter 11 Case. Costs of a liquidation of the Companies under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code would include the compensation of a Chapter 7 trustee, as well as of counsel and other professionals retained by the trustee, asset disposition expenses, all unpaid expenses incurred by the Companies in the Chapter 11 Case (such as compensation of attorneys, financial advisors, and accountants) that are allowed in the Chapter 7 case, litigation costs, and claims arising from the operations of the Companies during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case. The liquidation itself would trigger certain priority payments that otherwise would be due in the ordinary course of business. Those priority claims would be paid in full from the liquidation proceeds before the balance would be made available to pay Unsecured Claims or to make any distribution in respect of Equity Interests. The liquidation would also prompt the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases and thereby create a significantly greater amount of Unsecured Claims. In a Chapter 7 liquidation, no junior class of claims may be paid unless all classes of claims senior to such junior class are paid in full. Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that subordination agreements are enforceable in a bankruptcy case to the same extent that such subordination is enforceable under applicable non-bankruptcy law. Therefore, no class of claims that is contractually subordinated to another class would receive any payment on account of its claims, unless and until such senior class were paid in full. Once the Bankruptcy Court ascertains the recoveries in liquidation of the Companies' Secured and Priority Creditors, it would then determine the probable distribution to Unsecured Creditors from the remaining available proceeds of the liquidation. If this probable distribution has a value greater than the distributions to be received by the Unsecured Creditors under the Plan, then the Plan is not in the best interests of creditors and cannot be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. As shown in the Liquidation Analysis annexed hereto as Exhibit D, the Companies believe that each member of each Class of Impaired Claims will receive at least as much, if not more, under the Plan as they would receive if the Companies were liquidated. With respect to holders of Class CAI-8 Equity Securities Interests, who will neither receive nor retain any property under the Plan, CAI believes that each member of the Class similarly would receive nothing on account of its Interests in a Chapter 7 liquidation. Because liquidation would not yield more for such Interest holders, the Plan meets the requirements of Section 1129(a)(7) as to Interest holders as well. C. Liquidation Analysis As noted above, the Companies believe that under the Plan all holders of Impaired Claims and Impaired Interests will receive property with a value not less than the value such holder would receive in a liquidation of the Companies under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Companies' belief is based primarily on (i) extensive consideration of the effects that a Chapter 7 liquidation would have on the ultimate proceeds available for distribution to Creditors, including, but not limited to, (a) the increased costs and expenses of a liquidation under Chapter 7 arising from fees payable to a Chapter 7 trustee and professional advisors to the trustee, (b) the erosion in value of assets in a Chapter 7 case in the context of the rapid liquidation required under Chapter 7 and the "forced sale" atmosphere that would prevail, (c) the adverse effects on the Companies' businesses as a result of the likely departure of key employees and the probable loss of subscribers, (d) the substantial increases in claims, such as estimated contingent claims, which would be satisfied on a priority basis or on parity with the Creditors of the Chapter 11 Case, (e) the reduction of value associated with a Chapter 7 trustee's operation of the Companies' businesses, and (f) the substantial delay in distributions to the Companies' Creditors that would likely ensue in a Chapter 7 liquidation and (ii) the liquidation analysis prepared by the Companies with the assistance of BT Alex. Brown, their financial advisors, which is annexed to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit D (the "Liquidation Analysis"). The Companies believe that any liquidation analysis is speculative, as such an analysis necessarily is premised on assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which would be beyond the control of the Companies. Thus, there can be no assurance as to values that would actually be realized in a Chapter 7 liquidation, nor can there be any assurance that a Bankruptcy Court would accept the Companies' conclusions or concur with such assumptions in making its determinations under Section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. For example, the Liquidation Analysis necessarily contains an estimate of the amount of Claims which will ultimately become Allowed Claims. This estimate is based solely upon the Companies' review of their books and records and the Companies' estimates as to additional Claims that may be filed in the Chapter 11 Case or that would arise in the event of a conversion of the case from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7. No order or finding has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court estimating or otherwise fixing the amount of Claims at the projected amounts of Allowed Claims set forth in the Liquidation Analysis. In preparing the Liquidation Analysis, the Companies have projected an amount of Allowed Claims that is at the lower end of a range of reasonableness such that, for purposes of the Liquidation Analysis, the largest possible liquidation dividend to holders of Allowed Claims can be assessed. The estimate of the amount of Allowed Claims set forth in the Liquidation Analysis should not be relied on for any other purpose, including, without limitation, any determination of the value of any distribution to be made on account of Allowed Claims under the Plan. To the extent that confirmation of the Plan requires the establishment of amounts for the Chapter 7 liquidation value of the Companies, funds available to pay Claims, and the reorganization value of the Companies, the Bankruptcy Court will determine those amounts at the Confirmation Hearing. Accordingly, the annexed Liquidation Analysis is provided solely to disclose to holders the effects of a hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation of the Companies, subject to the assumptions set forth therein. D. Valuation Of Reorganized CAI In conjunction with formulating the Plan, CAI determined that it was necessary to estimate a post-confirmation going concern enterprise value for the reorganized Companies. Accordingly, CAI directed BT Alex. Brown to prepare such a valuation. 1. Valuation Overview THE ESTIMATES OF ENTERPRISE VALUE SET FORTH HEREIN REPRESENT HYPOTHETICAL REORGANIZATION ENTERPRISE VALUES THAT WERE DEVELOPED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN. SUCH ESTIMATES REFLECT COMPUTATIONS OF THE ESTIMATED ENTERPRISE VALUE OF REORGANIZED CAI THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF VARIOUS GENERALLY ACCEPTED VALUATION TECHNIQUES AND DO NOT REFLECT OR CONSTITUTE APPRAISALS OF THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY OR THE ACTUAL MARKET VALUE OF THE COMPANY. BECAUSE SUCH ESTIMATES ARE INHERENTLY UNCERTAIN, NEITHER THE COMPANY, NOR BT ALEX. BROWN ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACCURACY. IN ADDITION, BT ALEX. BROWN DID NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY THE COMPANY=S PROJECTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE VALUATION, AND NO INDEPENDENT EVALUATIONS OR APPRAISALS OF THE COMPANY=S ASSETS WERE SOUGHT OR OBTAINED THEREWITH. In preparing its analysis, BT Alex. Brown, among other things: (a) reviewed certain financial statements of CAI for recent years and interim periods; (b) reviewed certain internal financial and operating data prepared by CAI; (c) considered the financial projections, and reviewed the assumptions underlying the financial projections prepared by the management of CAI; (d) prepared a discounted cash flow analysis for the business of CAI based on such financial projections; (e) reviewed certain financial and stock market information of certain publicly traded companies that BT Alex. Brown and management of CAI believe are in businesses reasonably comparable to the business of CAI; (f) considered the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain historical acquisitions of companies and systems whose businesses are believed to be reasonably comparable to that of CAI; (g) considered certain economic and industry information relevant to the business of CAI; (h) discussed the current operations and prospects of the business with the management of CAI; (i) reviewed various documents relating to the Plan, including, but not limited to, the Disclosure Statement; and (j) made such other analyses and examinations as BT Alex. Brown deemed necessary or appropriate. 2. Methodology In preparing its valuation, BT Alex. Brown performed a variety of analyses, and considered a variety of factors. The material analyses and factors are described below. The following summary of such analyses and factors considered does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses and factors considered. In arriving at its conclusions, BT Alex. Brown placed various weights on each of the analyses or factors considered by it, and made judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. BT Alex. Brown did not consider any one analysis or factor to the exclusion of any other analysis or factor. Accordingly, BT Alex. Brown believes that its valuations must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without considering all such analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying the preparation of its findings and conclusions. In its analyses, BT Alex. Brown necessarily made numerous assumptions with respect to CAI, industry performance, general business, regulatory, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond CAI'S control. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such business or securities will actually trade. BT Alex. Brown has employed a variety of generally accepted valuation techniques in estimating CAI'S enterprise value. The total enterprise value consists of both the debt and equity of CAI. The three primary methodologies used in calculating the enterprise value are: (1) comparable public company analysis ("Comparables"); (2) discounted cash flow analysis ("DCF"); and (3) comparable mergers and acquisitions analysis ("M&A"). (a) Comparable Public Company Analysis In a comparable public company analysis, a company is valued by comparing it with publicly-held companies in reasonably similar lines of business. The subject company, together with the comparable companies, may be viewed as alternative investments available to the prudent investor. The price that a prudent investor is willing to pay for each company's publicly-traded securities is related to the perceived future benefits of ownership and the required rate of return on the investment. The price also reflects an implied market value of the total company (the enterprise value). After analyzing CAI, a universe of comparable companies was compiled from various sources including conversations with management. In this analysis, the following five (5) comparable companies were chosen: American Telecasting, CS Wireless (publicly-held debt only), Heartland Wireless, People's Choice TV, and Wireless One. It is frequently difficult to identify companies that are truly comparable to the subject company. Publicly-held corporations differ in terms of markets, size, financial structure, organization and corporate strategies. The selected comparable companies include companies which utilize MMDS spectrum to provide wireless cable service. The analytical work performed included, among other things, a detailed multi-year financial comparison of each company's income statement, balance sheet and cash flow. Each company's performance, profitability, leverage and business trends also were examined. Based on certain analyses, a number of financial multiples and ratios were developed to measure each company's valuation and relative performance. Specifically, the total enterprise value (defined as market equity value plus market debt less excess cash) for each company was compared to its respective gross line-of-sight households. (b) Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Discounted cash flow is another method of valuing a company. The DCF value represents the present value of unlevered, after-tax cash flows to all providers of capital using a discount rate. The DCF valuation method allows an expected operating strategy to be incorporated into a financial projection model. In essence, the DCF method entails estimating the free cash flow available to debt and equity investors (i.e., the annual cash flows generated by the business) and a terminal value of the business at the end of a time horizon and discounting these flows back to the present using a discount rate to arrive at the present value of these flows. The terminal value is determined by assuming the sale of the business at the end of the time horizon. CAI's projections, as shown in this Disclosure Statement, reflect significant assumptions made by CAI's management concerning anticipated results. The assumptions and judgments used in the projections may or may not prove to be correct, and there can be no assurance that projected results are attainable or will be realized. Actual future results may vary significantly from the forecasts. BT Alex. Brown cannot and does not make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of CAI's projections. BT Alex. Brown performed various sensitivity analyses to two principal variables within the DCF methodology: (i) the discount rate and (ii) the exit multiple in the terminal year. These sensitivity analyses were performed, and all the resulting discounted cash flow valuations were considered, in BT Alex. Brown's final DCF enterprise value conclusion. (c) Mergers & Acquisitions Analysis The comparable mergers and acquisitions analysis is another generally accepted methodology for ascertaining a company's values. When using this approach, M&A multiples are calculated based upon the purchase price (including any debt assumed and equity purchased) paid to acquire businesses comparable to the subject company. These multiples are then applied to the subject company to determine the implied enterprise value. Unlike the comparable public company analysis, the valuation in this methodology includes a "control" premium, and thus, generally produces higher valuations than the comparables methodology. For purposes of estimating the enterprise value of CAI, BT Alex. Brown used the transaction values of a selected group of transactions. As with the comparables analysis, since no acquisition used in any analysis is identical to a target transaction, valuation conclusions cannot be based solely on quantitative results. The reasons for and circumstances surrounding each acquisition transaction are specific to such transaction and there are inherent differences between the businesses, operations and prospects of each. Therefore, qualitative judgments must be made concerning the differences between the characteristics of these transactions and other factors and issues which could affect the price an acquiror is willing to pay in an acquisition. Utilizing publicly available information, BT Alex. Brown evaluated a series of transactions involving companies in the wireless cable industry. The transactions considered included seven (7) transactions between 1996 and 1997: BellSouth's acquisition of systems in New Orleans, Atlanta and other Georgia markets, Miami and other Florida markets; PCTV's acquisition of systems in Salt Lake City and other Utah markets; and CS Wireless's acquisition of a system in Kansas City. As in the Comparables methodology, total enterprise value to gross line-of-sight households is the preferred valuation statistic. 3. Valuation of Reorganized CAI BT Alex. Brown has advised CAI that for purposes of the valuation expressed below, BT Alex. Brown assumed that, as of the Consummation Date: (i) the proposed capitalization of CAI will be as set forth in the Plan and Disclosure Statement; (ii) market, business and general economic conditions will be similar to conditions observed; (iii) the financial and other information furnished to BT Alex. Brown by CAI and its professionals and the publicly available information are accurate and complete; and (iv) the Plan is confirmed without material changes. Based upon its analyses, the assumptions made, matters considered and limits of review as set forth above, BT Alex. Brown has concluded that an appropriate estimate for the post-confirmation going concern enterprise value of CAI would be approximately $293 million. XV. ALTERNATIVES TO CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN The Companies believe that the Plan affords holders of Claims the potential for the greatest realization on the Companies' assets and, therefore, is in the best interests of such holders. If, however, the Requisite Acceptances are not received, or the Requisite Acceptances are received, the Chapter 11 Case is commenced, and the Plan is not subsequently confirmed and consummated, the theoretical alternatives include: (a) commencement of a "non-prepackaged" or "traditional" Chapter 11 case, (b) formulation of an alternative plan or plans of reorganization, or (c) liquidation of the Companies under Chapter 7 or 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. A. Commencement Of A "Traditional" Chapter 11 Case If the Requisite Acceptances are not received, the Companies nevertheless could commence "traditional" Chapter 11 cases (for themselves and/or some or all of the Subsidiaries), in which circumstance they could continue to operate their businesses and manage its properties as a debtor-in-possession, but would become subject to the numerous restrictions imposed on debtors-in-possession by the Bankruptcy Code. It is not clear whether the Companies could survive as going concerns in a protracted Chapter 11 case. They could have difficulty sustaining operations in the face of the high costs, erosion of customer confidence, and liquidity difficulties that could well result if they remained Chapter 11 debtors-in-possession for any length of time. Ultimately, the Companies (or other parties in interest) could propose another plan or liquidate the Companies under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. B. Alternative Plan(s) If the Requisite Acceptances are not received or if the Plan is not confirmed, the Companies (or, if the Companies' exclusive periods in which to file and solicit acceptances of a reorganization plan have expired, any other party-in-interest) could attempt to formulate and propose a different plan or plans of reorganization. Such a plan or plan(s) might involve either a reorganization and continuation of the Companies' businesses or an orderly liquidation of assets. With respect to an alternative plan, the Companies have explored various other alternatives in connection with the extensive negotiation process involved in the formulation and development of the Plan. The Companies believe that the Plan, as described herein, the result of extensive negotiations between the Companies and various creditor constituencies, enables Creditors to realize the greatest possible value under the circumstances, and, that as compared to any alternative plan of reorganization, the Plan has the greatest chance to be confirmed and consummated. C. Liquidation Under Chapter 7 Or Chapter 11 If no plan is confirmed, the Chapter 11 Case may be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which a trustee would be elected or appointed to liquidate the Companies' assets for distribution to creditors in accordance with the priorities by the Bankruptcy Code. It is impossible to predict precisely how the proceeds of the liquidation would be distributed to the respective holders of Claims against or Interests in the Companies. The Companies believe that in liquidation under Chapter 7, before creditors received any distribution, additional administrative expenses involved in the appointment of a trustee or trustees and attorneys, accountants and other professionals to assist such trustees would cause a substantial diminution in the value of the Companies' Estates. The assets available for distribution to creditors would be reduced by such additional expenses and by Claims, some of which would be entitled to priority, which would arise by reason of the liquidation and from the rejection of leases and other executory contracts in connection with the cessation of operations and the failure to realize the greater going concern value of the Companies' assets. The Companies could also be liquidated pursuant to the provisions of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. In a liquidation under Chapter 11, the Companies' assets could be sold in an orderly fashion over a more extended period of time than in a liquidation under Chapter 7. Thus, a Chapter 11 liquidation might result in larger recoveries than in a Chapter 7 liquidation, but the delay in distributions could result in lower present values received and higher administrative costs. Because a trustee is not required in a Chapter 11 case, expenses for professional fees could be lower than in a Chapter 7 case, in which a trustee must be appointed. Any distribution to the holders of Claims under a Chapter 11 liquidation plan probably would be delayed substantially. Although preferable to a Chapter 7 liquidation, the Companies believe that any alternative liquidation under Chapter 11 is a much less attractive alternative to creditors than the Plan because the greater return the Companies anticipate is provided by the Plan. THE COMPANIES BELIEVE THAT THE PLAN AFFORDS SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER BENEFITS TO CREDITORS AND EMPLOYEES THAN WOULD ANY OTHER REASONABLY CONFIRMABLE REORGANIZATION PLAN OR LIQUIDATION UNDER ANY CHAPTER OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. The Liquidation Analysis, prepared by the Companies with their financial advisors, is premised upon a liquidation in a Chapter 7 case and is annexed to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit D. In the analysis, the Companies have taken into account the nature, status, and underlying value of their assets, the ultimate realizable value of such assets, and the extent to which the assets are subject to liens and security interests. Based on CAI's experience in the restructuring of business operations in the several years prior to the Petition Date and its experience in seeking investors and merger partners, CAI has not found a buyer ready, willing, and able to purchase CAI as a whole or even to purchase significant portions of CAI as an ongoing business. Therefore, the likely form of any liquidation would be the sale of individual assets. Based on this analysis, it is likely that a liquidation of the Companies' assets would produce less value for distribution to creditors than that recoverable in each instance under the Plan. In the opinion of the Companies, the recoveries projected to be available in liquidation are not likely to afford holders of Claims as great a realization potential as does the Plan. XVI. THE SOLICITATION; VOTING PROCEDURES A. Voting Deadline The period during which Ballots and Master Ballots with respect to the Plan will be accepted by the Companies (and may be withdrawn or revoked unless the Bankruptcy Court issues an order to the contrary) will terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on July 27, 1998, unless and until the Companies, in their sole discretion, extend the date until which Ballots and Master Ballots will be accepted, in which case the Solicitation Period will terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such extended date. Except to the extent the Companies so determine or as permitted by the Bankruptcy Court, Ballots or Master Ballots that are received after the Voting Deadline will not be counted or otherwise used by the Companies in connection with the Companies' request for confirmation of the Plan (or any permitted modification thereof). The Companies reserve the absolute right, at any time or from time to time, to extend, by oral or written notice to the Voting Agent, the period of time (on a daily basis, if necessary) during which Ballots will be accepted for any reason including, but not limited to, determining whether or not the Requisite Acceptances have been received, by making a public announcement of such extension no later than 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the first Business Day next succeeding the previously announced Voting Deadline. Without limiting the manner in which the Companies may choose to make any public announcement, the Companies will not have any obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other than by issuing a news release through the Dow Jones News Service. There can be no assurance that the Companies will exercise their right to extend the Solicitation Period for the receipt of Ballots and Master Ballots. B. Voting Procedures Under the Bankruptcy Code, for purposes of determining whether the Requisite Acceptances have been received, only holders of Impaired Claims who actually vote will be counted. The failure of a holder to deliver a duly executed Ballot will be deemed to constitute an abstention by such holder with respect to voting on the Plan and such abstentions will not be counted as votes for or against the Plan. The Companies are providing copies of this Disclosure Statement (including all Exhibits) and related materials and, where appropriate, Ballots or Master Ballots (in either case, a "Solicitation Package"), to registered holders of CAI's Senior Notes and holders of the Companies' Subordinated Notes. Registered holders may include brokerage firms, commercial banks, trust companies, or other Nominees. If such entities do not hold for their own account, they should provide copies of the Solicitation Package (including, in the case of the Senior Notes, the appropriate Ballot) to their customers and to beneficial owners of Senior Notes. Any beneficial owner of Senior Notes who has not received a Ballot should contact his/her or its Nominee, or the Voting Agent. You should provide all of the information requested by the Ballots you receive. You should complete and return all Ballots that you receive in the return envelope provided with each such Ballot. C. Special Note For Holders of Senior Notes The Voting Record Date for determining which holders of Senior Notes are entitled to vote on the Plan is June 27, 1998. The Indenture Trustee for the Senior Notes will not vote on behalf of the holders of such notes. Holders must submit their own Ballots. 1. Beneficial Owners (a) A beneficial owner holding Senior Notes as record holder in its own name should vote on the Plan by completing and signing the enclosed Ballot and returning it directly to the Voting Agent on or before the Voting Deadline using the enclosed self-addressed, postage-paid envelope. (b) A beneficial owner holding Senior Notes in "street name" through a Nominee may vote on the Plan by one of the following two methods (as selected by such beneficial owner's Nominee). See Section XVI.C.2 -- "The Solicitation; Voting Procedures -- Special Note for Holders of Senior Notes - -- Nominees." (i) Complete and sign the enclosed beneficial owner Ballot. Return the Ballot to your Nominee as promptly as possible and in sufficient time to allow such Nominee to process the Ballot and return it to the Voting Agent by the Voting Deadline. If no self-addressed, postage-paid envelope was enclosed for this purpose, contact the Voting Agent for instructions; or (ii) Complete and sign the pre-validated Ballot (as described below) provided to you by your Nominee. Return the pre-validated Ballot to the Voting Agent by the Voting Deadline using the return envelope provided in the Solicitation Package. Any Ballot returned to a Nominee by a beneficial owner will not be counted for purposes of acceptance or rejection of the Plan until such Nominee properly completes and delivers to the Voting Agent that Ballot or a Master Ballot that reflects the vote of such beneficial owner. If any beneficial owner owns Senior Notes through more than one Nominee, such beneficial owner may receive multiple mailings containing the Ballots. The beneficial owner should execute a separate Ballot for each block of Senior Notes that it holds through any particular Nominee and return each Ballot to the respective Nominee in the return envelope provided therewith. Beneficial owners who execute multiple Ballots with respect to Senior Notes held through more than one Nominee must indicate on each Ballot the names of ALL such other Nominees and the additional amounts of such Senior Notes so held and voted. If a beneficial owner holds a portion of the Senior Notes through a Nominee and another portion as a record holder, the beneficial owner should follow the procedures described in subparagraph (1) (a) above to vote the portion held of record and the procedures described in subparagraph (1) (b) above to vote the portion held through a Nominee or Nominees. 2. Nominees A Nominee that on the Voting Record Date is the registered holder of Senior Notes for a beneficial owner can obtain the votes of the beneficial owners of such Senior Notes, consistent with customary practices for obtaining the votes of securities held in "street name," in one of the following two ways: (a) Pre-Validated Ballots The Nominee may "pre-validate" a Ballot by (i) signing the Ballot; (ii) indicating on the Ballot the name of the registered holder, the amount of Senior Notes held by the Nominee for the beneficial owner, and the account numbers for the accounts in which such Senior Notes are held by the Nominee; and (iii) forwarding such Ballot, together with the Disclosure Statement, return envelope and other materials requested to be forwarded, to the beneficial owner for voting. The beneficial owner must then complete the information requested in the Ballot; review the certifications contained in the Ballot, and return the Ballot directly to the Voting Agent in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope so that it is RECEIVED by the Voting Agent before the Voting Deadline. A list of the beneficial owners to whom "pre-validated" Ballots were delivered should be maintained by Nominees for inspection for at least one year from the Voting Deadline; or (b) Master Ballots If the Nominee elects not to prevalidate Ballots, the Nominee may obtain the votes of beneficial owners by forwarding to the beneficial owners the unsigned Ballots, together with the Disclosure Statement, a return envelope provided by, and addressed to, the Nominee, and other materials requested to be forwarded. Each such beneficial owner must then indicate his/ her or its vote on the Ballot, complete the information requested in the Ballot, review the certifications contained in the Ballot, execute the Ballot, and return the Ballot to the Nominee. After collecting the Ballots, the Nominee should, in turn, complete a Master Ballot compiling the votes and other information from the Ballot, execute the Master Ballot, and deliver the Master Ballot to the Voting Agent so that it is RECEIVED by the Voting Agent before the Voting Deadline. All Ballots returned by beneficial owners should either be forwarded to the Voting Agent (along with the Master Ballot) or retained by Nominees for inspection for at least one year from the Voting Deadline. EACH NOMINEE SHOULD ADVISE ITS BENEFICIAL OWNERS TO RETURN THEIR BALLOTS TO THE NOMINEE BY A DATE CALCULATED BY THE NOMINEE TO ALLOW IT TO PREPARE AND RETURN THE MASTER BALLOT TO THE VOTING AGENT SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED BY THE VOTING AGENT BEFORE THE VOTING DEADLINE. 3. Securities Clearing Agencies The Companies expect that The Depository Trust Company, as a nominee holder of Senior Notes, will arrange for its participants to vote by executing an omnibus proxy in favor of such participants. As a result of the omnibus proxy, such participant will be authorized to vote its Voting Record Date positions held in the name of such securities clearing agencies. 4. Miscellaneous For purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan, the beneficial owners of Senior Notes will be deemed to be the "holders" of the Claims represented by such Senior Notes. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, Ballots or Master Ballots that are signed, dated and timely received, but on which a vote to accept or reject the Plan has not been indicated, will not be counted. The Companies, in their sole discretion, may request that the Voting Agent attempt to contact such voters to cure any such defects in the Ballots or Master Ballots. Except as provided below, unless the Ballot or Master Ballot is timely submitted to the Voting Agent before the Voting Deadline together with any other documents required by such Ballot or Master Ballot, the Companies may, in their sole discretion, reject such Ballot or Master Ballot as invalid, and therefore decline to utilize it in connection with seeking confirmation of the Plan. In the event of a dispute with respect to any Senior Note Claim, any vote to accept or reject the Plan cast with respect to such Claim will not be counted for purposes of determining whether the Plan has been accepted or rejected, unless the Bankruptcy Court orders otherwise. 5. Delivery of Senior Notes CAI is not at this time requesting the delivery of, and neither CAI nor the Voting Agent will accept, certificates representing any Senior Notes or any Equity Securities. In connection with the Consummation Date, CAI will furnish all holders of Senior Notes with appropriate letters of transmittal to be used to remit their Senior Notes in exchange for the distribution under the Plan. Information regarding such remittance procedure (together with all appropriate materials) will be distributed by CAI after the Confirmation Date. D. Fiduciaries And Other Representatives If a Ballot is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation, or another acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should indicate such capacity when signing and, unless otherwise determined by the Companies, must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Companies of authority to so act. Authorized signatories should submit the separate Ballot of each beneficial owner for whom they are voting. UNLESS THE BALLOT OR MASTER BALLOT BEING FURNISHED IS TIMELY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTING AGENT ON OR PRIOR TO THE VOTING DEADLINE, SUCH BALLOT WILL BE REJECTED AS INVALID AND WILL NOT BE COUNTED AS AN ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE COMPANIES RESERVE THE RIGHT, IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION, TO REQUEST OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT THAT ANY SUCH BALLOT OR MASTER BALLOT BE COUNTED. IN NO CASE SHOULD A BALLOT OR MASTER BALLOT BE DELIVERED TO ANY ENTITY OTHER THAN THE VOTING AGENT, AND IN NO CASE SHOULD ANY SENIOR NOTES BE DELIVERED TO THE COMPANIES OR ANY OF THEIR ADVISORS, INCLUDING THE VOTING AGENT. E. Parties In Interest Entitled To Vote Under Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of claims or interests is deemed to be "impaired" under a plan unless (i) the plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such claim or interest entitles the holder thereof or (ii) notwithstanding any legal right to an accelerated payment of such claim or interest, the plan cures all existing defaults (other than defaults resulting from the occurrence of events of bankruptcy) and reinstates the maturity of such claim or interest as it existed before the default. In general, a holder of a claim or interest may vote to accept or to reject a plan if (i) the claim or interest is "allowed," which means generally that no party in interest has objected to such claim or interest, and (ii) the claim or interest is impaired by the Plan. If, however, the holder of an impaired claim or interest will not receive or retain any distribution under the plan on account of such claim or interest, the Bankruptcy Code deems such holder to have rejected the plan, and, accordingly, holders of such claims and interests do not actually vote on the Plan. If a claim or interest is not impaired by the Plan, the Bankruptcy Code deems the holder of such claim or interest to have accepted the plan and, accordingly, holders of such claims and interests are not entitled to vote on the Plan. A vote may be disregarded if the Bankruptcy Court determines, pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, that it was not solicited or procured in good faith or in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. F. Classes Impaired Under The Plan The following Classes of Claims are Impaired under the Plan and are entitled to vote on the Plan: Class CAI-5 Senior Note Claims, Class CAI-6 Subordinated Note Claims, and Class PCT-5 Subordinated Note Claims. Class CAI-7 Securities Claims and Class CAI-8 Equity Securities Interests will not receive or retain any distribution or property under the Plan on account of their Claims or Interests. Accordingly, they are presumed, under Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, to have rejected the Plan, and they are therefore not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. All other Classes of Claims and Interests are Unimpaired under the Plan, are deemed, under Section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, to have accepted the Plan, and accordingly are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Acceptances of the Plan are being solicited only from those who hold Claims in an Impaired Class whose members will (or may) receive a distribution under the Plan. G. Agreements Upon Furnishing Ballots The delivery of an accepting Ballot (or Master Ballot) to the Voting Agent by a holder of Senior Notes or Subordinated Notes pursuant to one of the procedures set forth above will constitute the agreement of such holder to accept (i) all of the terms of, and conditions to, this Solicitation; and (ii) the terms of the Plan; provided, however, all parties in interest retain their right to object to confirmation of the Plan pursuant to Section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code. H. Waivers Of Defects, Irregularities, Etc. Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance, and revocation or withdrawal of Ballots will be determined by the Voting Agent and the Companies in their sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. As indicated below under "Withdrawal of Ballots; Revocation," effective withdrawals of Ballots must be delivered to the Voting Agent prior to the Voting Deadline. The Companies reserve the absolute right to contest the validity of any such withdrawal. The Companies also reserve the right to reject any and all Ballots not in proper form, the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Companies or their counsel, be unlawful. The Companies further reserve the right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of delivery as to any particular Ballot. The interpretation (including the Ballot and the respective instructions thereto) by the Companies, unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with deliveries of Ballots must be cured within such time as the Companies (or the Bankruptcy Court) determine. Neither the Companies nor any other person will be under any duty to provide notification of defects or irregularities with respect to deliveries of Ballots nor will any of them incur any liabilities for failure to provide such notification. Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, delivery of such Ballots will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Ballots previously furnished (and as to which any irregularities have not theretofore been cured or waived) will be invalidated. I. Withdrawal Of Ballots; Revocation Any party who has delivered a valid Ballot for the acceptance or rejection of the Plan may withdraw such acceptance or rejection by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Voting Agent at any time prior to the Voting Deadline. A notice of withdrawal, to be valid, must (i) contain the description of the Claim(s) to which it relates and the aggregate principal amount represented by such Claim(s), (ii) be signed by the withdrawing party in the same manner as the Ballot being withdrawn, (iii) contain a certification that the withdrawing party owns the Claim(s) and possesses the right to withdraw the vote sought to be withdrawn and (iv) be received by the Voting Agent in a timely manner at the address set forth in Section XVI.J below. Prior to the filing of the Plan, the Companies intend to consult with the Voting Agent to determine whether any withdrawals of Ballots were received and whether the Requisite Acceptances of the Plan have been received. As stated above, the Companies expressly reserve the absolute right to contest the validity of any such withdrawals of Ballots. Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, a purported notice of withdrawal of Ballots which is not received in a timely manner by the Voting Agent will not be effective to withdraw a previously cast Ballot. Any party who has previously submitted to the Voting Agent prior to the Voting Deadline a properly completed Ballot may revoke such Ballot and change his or its vote by submitting to the Voting Agent prior to the Voting Deadline a subsequent properly completed Ballot for acceptance or rejection of the Plan. In the case where more than one timely, properly completed Ballot is received, only the Ballot which bears the latest date will be counted for purposes of determining whether the Requisite Acceptances have been received. The Companies will pay all costs, fees and expenses relating to the Solicitation, including, without limitation, customary mailing and handling costs of Nominees. J.

FINANCIAL ADVISORS; VOTING AGENT; FEES AND EXPENSES Pursuant to a letter agreement dated as of December 8, 1997 (as subsequently amended, the "Engagement Letter"), CAI has engaged BT Alex. Brown to act as the Companies' financial advisor in connection with the restructuring of certain of CAI's debt and equity securities, including the Restructuring, and the Plan. The Engagement Letter provides for the payment of the following cash fees (the "Fees") to BT Alex. Brown: (i) a retainer fee of $150,000, which already has been paid; (ii) $75,000 on the 8th of each month, beginning on January 8, 1998 and ending on the earlier of the completion of the Restructuring (as that term is defined in the Engagement Letter) or the termination of BT Alex. Brown's engagement pursuant to Section 11 of the Engagement Letter; and (iii) a fee of $2,750,000 (less any amounts paid under clauses (i) and (ii)) which will be deemed to have been earned upon the formal distribution of this Disclosure Statement to holders of Impaired Claims and will be payable in full on the Consummation Date with respect to the Plan described in this Disclosure Statement. In addition to the foregoing cash Fees which, pursuant to the Engagement Letter, will be classified as and have the status of Class CAI-3 General Unsecured Claims in the Chapter 11 Case, BT Alex. Brown will be granted options to purchase up to one half of one percent (2%) of the New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan at a price determined by the 20-day average price of the New Common Stock after the Consummation Date. The Engagement Letter also provides that BT Alex. Brown will be paid all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it under the Engagement Letter and BT Alex. Brown's counsel (if any) will be paid all reasonable fees and expenses relating to the services to BT Alex. Brown under the Engagement Letter (collectively, the "Expenses"). In consideration of the foregoing payment of Fees and Expenses, BT Alex. Brown has agreed to provide financial advice to the Companies at no additional cost to the Companies for the six (6) month period immediately following the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case. The Engagement Letter also provides that if BT Alex. Brown 's engagement is terminated for any reason, BT Alex. Brown and its counsel (if any) will be entitled to receive all Fees and Expenses through the date of such termination. In addition, if BT Alex. Brown's engagement is terminated and, within six (6) months of the date of such termination, CAI proceeds with a Business Combination (as that term is defined in the Engagement Letter) with an acquiring party contacted by BT Alex. Brown and the transaction is similar to any proposal submitted by BT Alex. Brown, then BT Alex. Brown will be entitled to receive all the Fees it would have received as financial advisor under the Engagement Letter. CAI also has agreed to indemnify BT Alex. Brown with respect to its services under the Engagement Letter, which indemnification will survive termination of the Engagement Letter. CAI has agreed to pay reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of MLGAF and the Unofficial Noteholders' Committee and the reasonable fees, and expenses of their financial and legal advisors. MLGAF is represented by Shearman & Sterling, its legal advisor, which has received a $100,000 retainer from CAI. The Unofficial Noteholders' Committee is represented by Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, its legal advisor, to whom CAI has paid a $75,000 retainer, and Dabney Flanigan, LLC, its financial advisor, to whom CAI has paid $200,000 and will pay a monthly fee of $100,000 commencing in August 1998. The Companies have retained The Altman Group, Inc. to serve as the Voting Agent in connection with the Solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan. The Companies will pay the Voting Agent reasonable and customary compensation for its services in connection with the Solicitation, plus reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements. Brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other Nominees will be reimbursed by CAI for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding materials to their customers, but will not otherwise be compensated for their services. The Companies also will pay any other fees and expenses attributable to the Solicitation. XVIII. RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION For all of the reasons set forth in this Disclosure Statement, the Companies believe that confirmation and consummation of the Plan is preferable to all other alternatives. Consequently, the Companies urge all eligible holders of Impaired Claims to vote to ACCEPT the Plan, and to complete and return their ballots so that they will be RECEIVED by the Voting Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 27, 1998.

DISBURSING AGENT The Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions required under this Plan (subject to the provisions of Articles III, VII, and IX hereof) except with respect to a holder of a Claim whose distribution is governed by an indenture or other agreement and is administered by an indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, which distributions shall be deposited with the appropriate indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, who shall deliver such distributions to the holders of Claims in accordance with the provisions of this Plan and the terms of the relevant indenture or other governing agreement. If the Disbursing Agent is an independent third party designated by the Reorganized Debtors to serve in such capacity, such Disbursing Agent shall receive, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services from the Reorganized Debtors on terms acceptable to the Reorganized Debtors. No Disbursing Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. If otherwise so ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond shall be paid by the Reorganized Debtors. . SURRENDER OF SECURITIES OR INSTRUMENTS On or before the Distribution Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, each holder of an instrument evidencing a Claim on account of Debt Securities which are not being Reinstated (a "Certificate") shall surrender such Certificate to the Disbursing Agent, or, with respect to indebtedness that is governed by an indenture or other agreement, the respective indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, and such Certificate shall be cancelled. No distribution of property hereunder shall be made to or on behalf of any such holder unless and until such Certificate is received by the Disbursing Agent or the respective indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the Disbursing Agent or the respective indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be. Any such holder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent or the respective indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, prior to the second (2{nd}) anniversary of the Consummation Date, shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims in respect of such Certificate and shall not participate in any distribution hereunder, and all property in respect of such forfeited distribution, including interest accrued thereon, shall revert to Reorganized CAI notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. . INSTRUCTIONS TO DISBURSING AGENT Prior to any distribution on account of a Class CAI-5 Senior Note Claim, the Indenture Trustee, agent, or servicer of the Senior Notes shall (i) inform the Disbursing Agent as to the amount of properly surrendered Senior Notes and (ii) instruct the Disbursing Agent, in a form and manner that the Disbursing Agent reasonably determines to be acceptable, of the names of the holders of Allowed Class CAI-5 Senior Note Claims, and the face amount of New Senior Notes and/or number of shares of New Common Stock, , as the case may be, to be issued and distributed to or on behalf of such holders of Allowed Class CAI-5 Senior Note Claims in exchange for properly surrendered Senior Notes. . SERVICES OF INDENTURE TRUSTEES, AGENTS, AND SERVICERS The services, with respect to consummation of the Plan, of indenture trustees, agents, and servicers under indentures and other agreements that govern the rights of holders of Claims, shall be as set forth in Article IV.B.1 and elsewhere in the Plan. . RECORD DATE FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF DEBT SECURITIES At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the transfer ledgers for the Debt Securities shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of the Debt Securities. Reorganized CAI and the Disbursing Agent, if any, shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of such Debt Securities occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the transfer ledgers as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. . MEANS OF CASH PAYMENT Cash payments made pursuant to this Plan shall be in U.S. funds, by the means agreed to by the payor and the payee, including by check or wire transfer, or, in the absence of an agreement, such commercially reasonable manner as the payor shall determine in its sole discretion; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any cash payment in excess of $1,000,000 shall, notwithstanding the foregoing, be effected by wire transfer. . CALCULATION OF DISTRIBUTION AMOUNTS OF NEW COMMON STOCK No fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be issued or distributed under the Plan or by Reorganized CAI or any Disbursing Agent, indenture trustee, agent, or servicer. Each Person entitled to receive New Common Stock will receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Stock to which such Person is entitled. Whenever any distribution to a particular Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of a share of New Common Stock, the Disbursing Agent shall allocate separately one whole share to such Persons in order of the fractional portion of their entitlements, starting with the largest such fractional portion, until all remaining whole shares have been allocated. Upon the allocation of a whole share to a Person in respect of the fractional portion of its entitlement, such fractional portion shall be cancelled. If two or more Persons are entitled to equal fractional entitlements and the number of Persons so entitled exceeds the number of whole shares which remain to be allocated, the Disbursing Agent shall allocate the remaining whole shares to such holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the Disbursing Agent deems fair. Upon the allocation of all of the whole shares authorized under the Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect. . DELIVERY OF DISTRIBUTIONS Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent or the appropriate indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, (a) at the addresses set forth on the proofs of Claim filed by such holders (or at the last known addresses of such holders if no proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtors have been notified of a change of address), (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Disbursing Agent after the date of any related proof of Claim, (c) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no proof of Claim has been filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address, or (d) in the case of the holder of a Claim that is governed by an indenture or other agreement and is administered by an indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, at the addresses contained in the official records of such indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, or (e) at the addresses set forth in a properly completed letter of transmittal accompanying securities properly remitted to the Debtors. If any holder's distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent or the appropriate indenture trustee, agent, or servicer is notified of such holder's then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions made through the Disbursing Agent or the indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors until such distributions are claimed. All claims for undeliverable distributions must be made on or before the second (2{nd}) anniversary of the Consummation Date, after which date all unclaimed property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon and the claim of any holder or successor to such holder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. . FRACTIONAL DOLLARS; DE MINIMIS DISTRIBUTIONS Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, payments of fractions of dollars shall not be made. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars being rounded down. The Disbursing Agent, or any indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be, shall not make any payment of less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) with respect to any Claim unless a request therefor is made in writing to such Disbursing Agent, indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, as the case may be. . WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS In connection with this Plan and all distributions hereunder, the Disbursing Agent shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agent shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements. . SETOFFS The Reorganized Debtors may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may have against the holder of such Claim; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtors of any such claim that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may have against such holder. ARTICLE . TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES . ASSUMED CONTRACTS AND LEASES Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, as of the Consummation Date each Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed each executory contract and unexpired lease to which it is a party, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by such Debtor, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Confirmation Date. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code approving the contract and lease assumptions described above, as of the Consummation Date. Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed and relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of real property shall include (a) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease and (b) all executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, usufructs, reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises, and any other interests in real estate or rights IN REM related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court. . PAYMENTS RELATED TO ASSUMPTION OF CONTRACTS AND LEASES Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default shall be satisfied, under Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtor party to the contract or lease or the assignee of such Debtor party assuming such contract or lease, by Cure. If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of any Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure shall occur following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be. . REJECTED CONTRACTS AND LEASES Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, none of the executory contracts and unexpired leases to which the Debtors, or either of them, are a party shall be rejected under the Plan; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Debtors reserve the right, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, to seek to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to which they, or either of them, are a party. . BAR TO REJECTION DAMAGES If the rejection by a Debtor, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, of an executory contract or unexpired lease results in a Claim that is not theretofore evidenced by a timely filed proof of Claim or a proof of Claim that is deemed to be timely filed under applicable law, then such Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, or the properties of any of them, unless a proof of Claim is filed with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel for the Debtors within thirty (30) days after service of the earlier of (i) notice of entry of the Confirmation Order or (ii) other notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected. . COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PROGRAMS . Except and to the extent previously assumed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Confirmation Date, and except as set forth in (2) below, all employee compensation and benefit programs of the Debtors, including programs subject to Sections 1114 and 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, entered into before or after the Petition Date and not since terminated, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, executory contracts that are assumed under Article VIII.A of the Plan, but only to the extent that rights under such programs are held by a Debtor or Persons who are employees of a Debtor as of the Confirmation Date, and the Debtors' obligations under such programs to persons who are employees of a Debtor on the Confirmation Date shall survive confirmation of this Plan, except for (i) executory contracts or plans specifically rejected pursuant to the Plan (to the extent such rejection does not violate Sections 1114 and 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code) and (ii) executory contracts or plans as have previously been rejected, are the subject of a motion to reject, or have been specifically waived by the beneficiaries of any plans or contracts; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Debtors' obligations, if any, to pay all "retiree benefits" as defined in Section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall continue. . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employment Agreements to be entered into with the Key Employees on the Consummation Date shall amend and supersede any other employment agreements and severance plans with or for the benefit of the Key Employees, and, as amended, shall be assumed pursuant to the Plan. On the Consummation Date, the Severance Plan shall be terminated. ARTICLE . PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED, CONTINGENT, AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS . OBJECTION DEADLINE; PROSECUTION OF OBJECTIONS As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 120 days after the Consummation Date (unless extended by an order of the Bankruptcy Court), the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, shall file objections to Claims with the Bankruptcy Court and serve such objections upon the holders of each of the Claims to which objections are made. Nothing contained herein, however, shall limit the Reorganized Debtors' right to object to Claims, if any, filed or amended more than 120 days after the Consummation Date. . NO DISTRIBUTIONS PENDING ALLOWANCE Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no payments or distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order, and the Disputed Claim, or some portion thereof, has become an Allowed Claim. . DISTRIBUTION RESERVE . The Disbursing Agent shall withhold the Distribution Reserve from the Cash, New Senior Notes, New Common Stock, or other property to be distributed under the Plan. As to any Disputed Claim, upon a request for estimation by a Debtor, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine what amount is sufficient to withhold as the Distribution Reserve. The Debtors may request estimation for every Disputed Claim that is unliquidated and the Disbursing Agent shall withhold the Distribution Reserve based upon the estimated amount of such Claim as set forth in a Final Order. If the Debtors elect not to request such an estimation from the Bankruptcy Court with respect to a Disputed Claim that is liquidated, the Disbursing Agent shall withhold the Distribution Reserve based upon the Face Amount of such Claim. Nothing in the Plan or herein shall be deemed to entitle the holder of a Disputed Claim to post-petition interest on such Claim, and such holder shall not be entitled to any such interest. . Neither the Disbursing Agent, nor any other party, shall be entitled to vote any shares of the New Common Stock held in the Distribution Reserve. In the event that any matter requires approval by the shareholders of Reorganized CAI prior to the distribution or cancellation of all shares of New Common Stock from the Distribution Reserve, the shares of New Common Stock held by the Disbursing Agent shall be deemed not to have been issued, for voting purposes only. . If practicable, the Disbursing Agent shall invest any Cash that is withheld as the Distribution Reserve in a manner that shall yield a reasonable net return, taking into account the safety of the investment. . DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER ALLOWANCE The Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, shall make payments and distributions from the Distribution Reserve to each holder of a Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan governing the class of Claims to which such holder belongs. On the next succeeding interim distribution date after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing all or part of such Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute to the holder of such Claim any Cash, New Senior Notes, New Common Stock, or other property in the Distribution Reserve that would have been distributed on the Distribution Date had such Allowed Claim been allowed on the Distribution Date. After a Final Order has been entered, or other final resolution has been reached, with respect to each Disputed Claim (i) any New Senior Notes or New Common Stock held in the Distribution Reserve shall be distributed Pro Rata to holders of Allowed Claims entitled thereto under the terms of this Plan and (ii) any Cash or other property remaining in the Distribution Reserve shall become property of the Reorganized Debtors. All distributions made under this Article IX.D of the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim shall be made together with any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property, as if such Allowed Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Disbursing Agent shall not be required to make distributions under Article IX.D more frequently than once every 180 days or to make any individual payments in an amount less than $25.00 .

The failure to satisfy or waive any condition to the Consummation Date may be asserted by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the failure of such condition to be satisfied (including any action or inaction by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor). The failure of a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time.

EXHIBIT C TO DISCLOSURE STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO JOINT REORGANIZATION PLAN OF CAI WIRELESS SYSTEMS, INC. AND PHILADELPHIA CHOICE TELEVISION, INC. DESCRIPTION OF NEW SENIOR NOTES DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW SENIOR NOTES The New Senior Notes will be issued under an indenture to be dated on or prior to the Consummation Date (the "New Indenture") between CAI and [_____________], as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The following summary of the material provisions of the New Indenture does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and may be modified by, the provisions of the New Indenture, the form of which will be included in the Plan Supplement to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court at least five (5) Business Days prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing. The definitions of certain terms used in the following summary are set forth below under "-- Certain Definitions." As used below in this "Description of the New Senior Notes" section, the "Company" means Reorganized CAI, but not any of its Subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. General The New Senior Notes will be unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The New Senior Notes will rank pari passu with all unsecured Indebtedness of the Company which is not by its terms expressly subordinated to the New Senior Notes. The New Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Subsidiaries of the Company, and will be effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness. As of the Consummation Date, the Company is expected to have $[ ] million of indebtedness outstanding of which $[ ] million would be subordinated to the New Senior Notes. The New Senior Notes will be issued only in registered form, without coupons, in principal denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the New Senior Notes will be payable, and the New Senior Notes will be transferable, at the office of the Company's agent in the City of New York located at the corporate trust office of the Trustee. In addition, interest may be paid at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the person entitled thereto as shown on the security register. No service charge will be made for any transfer, exchange or redemption of New Senior Notes, except in certain circumstances for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Initially, the Trustee will act as paying agent and registrar for the New Senior Notes. The Company may change any paying agent and registrar without notice to the holders. Maturity, Interest and Principal The New Senior Notes are limited to an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $201,219,647 and will mature on [ ], 2004. The New Senior Notes will accrete in value from the Issue Date to [ ], 2004, at a rate of 12% per annum, compounded semi-annually. Cash interest on the New Senior Notes will neither accrue nor be payable prior to maturity. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate of 14% per annum. The Company shall, to the extent lawful, pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate of 14% per annum. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed. The New Senior Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any mandatory sinking fund. Optional Redemption The New Senior Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal to the Accreted Value of the New Senior Notes. Selection and Notice The New Indenture is expected to provide that in the event that less than all of the New Senior Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such New Senior Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee pro rata, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. In any proration, the Trustee shall make such adjustments, reallocations and eliminations as it shall deem proper to the end that the principal amount of New Senior Notes so prorated shall be $1,000 or a multiple thereof, by increasing or decreasing or eliminating the amount which would be allocable to any holder on the basis of exact proportion by an amount not exceeding $1,000. The Trustee in its discretion may determine the particular New Senior Notes (if there are more than one) registered in the name of any holder which are to be redeemed, in whole or in part. No New Senior Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of New Senior Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, New Senior Notes or portions thereof called for redemption will cease to accrete in value, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price therefor. Certain Covenants The New Indenture is expected to contain, among others, the following covenants. Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness. The New Indenture is expected to provide that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, guarantee, acquire or become liable, contingently or otherwise, for (collectively "incur") any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness or issue any Disqualified Capital Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, the Company may incur additional Indebtedness (including, without limitation, any Acquired Indebtedness) or issue Disqualified Capital Stock from and after the date as of which the aggregate amount of cash raised by the Company in one or more Qualified Transactions is equal to or exceeds $40 million if after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance of such Disqualified Capital Stock the Additional Debt Ratio would not exceed 2.00 to 1; provided that in no event may the aggregate principal amount of such additional Indebtedness exceed $150,000,000. The New Indenture is expected to provide that any Indebtedness of an entity existing at the time it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise) or is merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred as of the date such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or the date of such merger. The New Indenture is expected to provide that the Company will not, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also expressly subordinated to the New Senior Notes; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of the Company shall be deemed to be subordinate to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely because such other Indebtedness is secured. Limitation on Restricted Payments. The New Indenture is expected to provide that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly: (i)declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution (other than dividends or distributions payable in Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or payable by any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) on shares of the Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (ii)purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary or any warrants, rights or options to acquire shares of any class of such Capital Stock, other than (x) the exchange of such Capital Stock or any warrants, rights or options to acquire shares of any class of such Capital Stock for Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or warrants, rights or options to acquire Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or (y) to the extent that such Capital Stock or warrants, rights or options are owned by the Company or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company. (iii)make any principal payment on, purchase, defease, redeem, prepay, decrease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled final maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the New Senior Notes (other than any such Indebtedness owing to the Company or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); or (iv)make any Investment (other than Permitted Investments) after the Issue Date. (each of the foregoing prohibited actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being referred to as a "Restricted Payment"), if at the time of such Restricted Payment or immediately after giving effect thereto, (a) a Default or an Event of Default under the New Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, (b) the Company is not able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) in compliance with the Additional Debt Ratio test described under the covenant "--Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness" above, or (c) the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date (the amount expended for such purposes, if other than in cash, being the fair market value of such property as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith) exceeds or would exceed the sum of: (A) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company from any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) from the issuance and sale subsequent to the Issue Date of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company (excluding any net proceeds from any public offering of any Qualified Capital Stock and excluding (A) any Qualified Capital Stock of the Company paid as a dividend on any Capital Stock of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary and (B) any Qualified Capital Stock of the Company with respect to which the purchase price thereof has been financed directly or indirectly using funds (x) borrowed from the Company or from any Restricted Subsidiary, unless and until and to the extent such borrowing is repaid or (y) contributed, extended, guaranteed or advanced by the Company or by any Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, in respect of any employee stock ownership or benefit plan)), plus (B) without duplication of any amounts included in the immediately preceding subclause (B), 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (determined pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of this covenant) received by the Company from the issuance and sale (other than to any Restricted Subsidiary) of any Qualified Capital Stock of the Company upon the conversion of, or in exchange for, any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Indebtedness outstanding immediately after the Issue Date), plus (C) an amount equal to the net reduction in Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries resulting from cash dividends, repayments of loans or advances in cash, or other transfers of cash, in each case to the Company or to any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company from Unrestricted Subsidiaries, or from redesignations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries (in each case valued as provided in the covenant described under "--Limitation on Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries" below), not to exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments previously made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary and which was treated as a Restricted Payment under the New Indenture, plus (D) without duplication of the immediately preceding subclause (C), an amount equal to the lesser of the cost or net cash proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of any Investment made after the Issue Date which had been treated as a Restricted Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions do not prohibit: (1) the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution within 60 days after the date of its declaration if the dividend or distribution would have been permitted on the date of declaration; or (2) the acquisition of Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or warrants, options or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock through the application of the net proceeds of any capital contribution (other than from a Restricted Subsidiary) or a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or warrants, options or other rights to acquire Qualified Capital Stock of the Company; or (3) the acquisition of Indebtedness of the Company that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the New Senior Notes, either (i) solely in exchange for shares of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company (or warrants, options or other rights to acquire Qualified Capital Stock of the Company) or for Indebtedness of the Company which is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the New Senior Notes, at least to the extent that the Indebtedness being acquired is subordinated to the New Senior Notes, is not in an aggregate principal amount in excess of (or if such Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount, at an original issue price not in excess of) the aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness being acquired (or if such acquired Indebtedness was issued with original issue discount, in excess of the accreted amount of such Indebtedness (as determined in accordance with GAAP)) and has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity no less than that of the Indebtedness being exchanged or (ii) through the application of the net proceeds of any capital contribution or a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to or from a Restricted Subsidiary) of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company (or warrants, options or other rights to acquire Qualified Capital Stock of the Company) or Indebtedness of the Company which is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the New Senior Notes, at least to the extent and in the manner that the Indebtedness being acquired is subordinated to the New Senior Notes, is not in an aggregate principal amount in excess of (or if such Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount, at an original issue price not in excess of) the aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness being acquired (or if such acquired Indebtedness was issued with original issue discount, in excess of the accreted amount of such Indebtedness (as determined in accordance with GAAP)) and has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity no less than that of the Indebtedness being refinanced; or (4) the repurchase of Capital Stock of the Company (including options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock) from employees or former employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for consideration which, when added to all loans made pursuant to clause (5) below of this paragraph during the same fiscal year and then outstanding (determined as provided in clause (5) below) does not exceed $250,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year; or (5) the making of loans and advances to employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding (including as outstanding any such loan or advance written off or forgiven) which, when added to the aggregate consideration paid pursuant to clause (4) of this paragraph during the same fiscal year, does not exceed $250,000 in any fiscal year; (6) the making of any payment in the nature of a purchase price or other adjustment for which the Company is obligated pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement. provided, however, that in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) and in the case of clause (vi) of the definition of "Permitted Investment," no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at the time of such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment, as the case may be, or would occur as a result thereof. The New Indenture is expected to provide that in determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date, amounts expended pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3) (but only to the extent that Indebtedness is acquired in exchange for, or with the net proceeds from, the issuance of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or warrants, options or other rights to acquire Qualified Capital Stock of the Company), (4) and (5) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be included in such calculation. The New Indenture is expected to provide that for purposes of calculating the net proceeds received by the Company from the issuance or sale of its Capital Stock either upon the conversion of, or exchange for, Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, such amount will be deemed to be an amount equal to the difference of (a) the sum of (i) the principal amount or accreted value (whichever is less) of such Indebtedness on the date of such conversion or exchange and (ii) the additional cash consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, less any payment on account of fractional shares, minus (b) all expenses incurred in connection with such issuance or sale. In addition, for purposes of calculating the net proceeds received by the Company from the issuance or sale of its Capital Stock upon the exercise of any options or warrants of the Company, such amount will be deemed to be an amount equal to the difference of (a) the additional cash consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such exercise, minus (b) all expenses incurred in connection with such issuance or sale. The New Indenture is expected to provide that not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this covenant were computed, which calculation may be based on the Company's latest financial statements. Limitation on Asset Sales. The New Indenture is expected to provide that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless: (i)the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; (ii)at least 80% of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale is cash or Cash Equivalents (other than in the case where the Company is exchanging all or substantially all the assets of one or more geographic service areas operated by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including by way of the transfer of Capital Stock) for all or substantially all the assets (including by way of the transfer of Capital Stock) constituting one or more geographic service areas operated by another Person (each, a "Permitted Exchange"), in which event the foregoing requirement with respect to the receipt of cash or Cash Equivalents shall not apply) and is received at the time of such disposition; and (iii)upon the consummation of an Asset Sale (other than any Permitted Exchange), the Company applies, or causes such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, or enters into, or causes such Restricted Subsidiary to enter into, a binding commitment to apply, any Net Cash Proceeds within 180 days of receipt thereof (it being understood that any binding commitment to so apply must be consummated within 240 days of such receipt) either (A) to reinvest in Productive Assets, or (B) to repay or prepay permanently Indebtedness (other than non-recourse Indebtedness) of any Restricted Subsidiary (which repayment or prepayment shall be accompanied by a permanent reduction of the commitment to lend the amount so repaid or prepaid in the case of any revolving credit facility), or (C) to repay or prepay permanently any Indebtedness of the Company that is secured by a Lien permitted to be incurred pursuant to "--Limitation on Liens" below (which repayment or prepayment shall be accompanied by a permanent reduction of the commitment to lend the amount so repaid or prepaid in the case of any revolving credit facility), or (D) to the extent not applied pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (A), (B) or (C), pro rata (based on the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the New Senior Notes and, if required by the terms thereof, such other Indebtedness then outstanding) to (I) the repayment or prepayment of any Indebtedness of the Company (other than the New Senior Notes, and any Indebtedness subordinated to the New Senior Notes) that is at the time redeemable or prepayable (and is so redeemed or prepaid) and (II) purchase New Senior Notes tendered to the Company for purchase at a price equal to 100% of the Accreted Value thereof on the date of repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company as set forth below (an "Asset Sale Offer"); provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash, then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this clause (iii); provided, further, however, that the Company may defer making an Asset Sale Offer until the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales to be applied equal or exceed $5,000,000; and provided, further, however that the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the sale of the Philadelphia MDU Operation shall not be required to be applied in accordance with this clause (iii). The New Indenture is expected to provide that each notice of an Asset Sale Offer will be mailed, by first class mail, to holders of New Senior Notes as shown on the applicable register of holders of New Senior Notes. Such notice will specify, among other things, the purchase date (which will be not less than 30 days nor more than 45 days from the date such notice is mailed, except as otherwise required by law) and the amount of Net Cash Proceeds available to repurchase New Senior Notes and will otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in the New Indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Asset Sale Offer, holders of New Senior Notes may elect to tender their New Senior Notes in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount at maturity. To the extent holders properly tender New Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount exceeding the Net Cash Proceeds available to repurchase New Senior Notes in the Asset Sale Offer, New Senior Notes of tendering holders will be repurchased on a pro rata basis (based upon the aggregate principal amount at maturity tendered). To the extent that the Accreted Value tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the amount of Net Cash Proceeds available therefor, the Company may use any remaining portion of such available Net Cash Proceeds not required to fund the repurchase of tendered New Senior Notes for any purposes otherwise permitted by the New Indenture. Upon the consummation of any Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds from the Asset Sale in question to be the subject of future Asset Sale Offers shall be deemed to be zero. In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under "--Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets" below, the successor Person shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this covenant and shall comply with the provisions of this covenant with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of such properties and assets of the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this covenant. The New Indenture is expected to provide that the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of New Senior Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. The New Indenture is expected to provide that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly, enter into, amend or permit or suffer to exist any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, the guaranteeing of any Indebtedness or the rendering of any service) with or for the benefit of any of its Affiliates (an "Affiliate Transaction"), other than any Affiliate Transaction or Affiliate Transactions that are on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Company and no less favorable to the Company than those that might reasonably have been obtained at such time in a comparable transaction by the Company on an arm's-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate; provided, however, that such determination will be made in good faith by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company if any; provided, further, however, that for a transaction or series of related transactions involving value of $5,000,000 or more, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have received, prior to the consummation thereof, an opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking firm that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary. The foregoing provisions shall not prohibit or restrict (a) transactions between the Company and a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or among Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, (b) Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments made in accordance with the covenant described under "--Limitation on Restricted Payments" above, (c) the payment of reasonable and customary fees to directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company and the payment of reasonable and customary compensation for director and Board of Director observer fees, meeting expenses, insurance premiums and indemnities, to the extent permitted by law, (d) making loans or advances to officers, employees or consultants of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (including travel and moving expenses) in the ordinary course of business for bona fide business purposes of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary not in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, (e) any employment or option agreement entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business that is approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, (f) Affiliate Transactions in existence, or for which rights or agreements are in existence, on the Issue Date, in each case as in effect on the Issue Date; provided, however, that no additional payments shall be made with respect thereto without the approval of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company, (g) channel leases and options with Affiliates entered into after the Issue Date provided such leases are no less beneficial to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary than any such leases in effect on the Issue Date, and are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, (h) amendments to, or renewals of, the agreements and leases referred to in clause (g) of this sentence; provided, however, that any such amendments or renewals are no less beneficial to the Company or applicable Restricted Subsidiary than the agreement or lease being amended or renewed and are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company and (i) the issuance of stock options (and shares of stock upon the exercise thereof) pursuant to any stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company. Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The New Indenture is expected to provide that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock; (b) make loans or advances or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (c) guarantee any Indebtedness or any other obligation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; or (d) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (each of the foregoing restrictions, a "Payment Restriction"), except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: (1) applicable law; (2) the New Indenture; (3) customary non-assignment provisions of any lease governing a leasehold interest of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (4) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction was not incurred in connection with, as a result of, or in anticipation of the incurrence of such Indebtedness and is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; (5) agreements existing on the Issue Date as such agreements are from time to time in effect; provided, however, that any amendments or modifications of such agreements which affect the encumbrances or restrictions of the types subject to this covenant shall not result in such encumbrances or restrictions being less favorable to the Company in any material respect, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, than the provisions as in effect before giving effect to the respective amendment or modification; (6) an agreement effecting a refinancing, replacement or substitution of Indebtedness issued, assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement described in clause (4) or (5) of this covenant; provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such refinancing, replacement or substitution agreement are not less favorable to the Company in any material respect as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements referred to in such clause (4) or (5) of this covenant; (7) Liens permitted under the New Indenture to the extent that such Liens restrict the transfer of the asset or assets subject thereto; and (8) with respect to clause (d) above, purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business pursuant to ordinary business terms. Limitation on Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The New Indenture is expected to provide that the Board of Directors of the Company may (subject to the penultimate paragraph of this covenant), if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would arise therefrom, designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (i) any such redesignation shall be deemed to be an incurrence as of the date of such redesignation by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Indebtedness (if any) of such redesignated Subsidiary for purposes of the covenant described under "--Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness " above; and (ii) unless such redesignated Subsidiary shall not have any Indebtedness outstanding, other than Indebtedness which would be Permitted Indebtedness, no such designation shall be permitted if immediately after giving effect to such redesignation and the incurrence of any such additional Indebtedness the Company could not incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to the Additional Debt Ratio test contained in the covenant described under "--Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness" above. The Board of Directors of the Company also may, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would arise therefrom, designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) such designation is at that time permitted under the covenant described under "--Limitation on Restricted Payments" above and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Company could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to the Additional Debt Ratio test contained in the covenant described under "--Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness" above. Any such designation by the Board of Directors of the Company shall be evidenced to the Trustee by the filing with the Trustee of a certified copy of the resolution of the Company's Board of Directors giving effect to such designation or redesignation and an Officers' Certificate certifying that such designation or redesignation complied with the foregoing conditions and setting forth in reasonable detail the underlying calculations. The New Indenture is expected to provide that for purposes of the covenant described under "--Limitation on Restricted Payments" above, (i) an "Investment" shall be deemed to have been made at the time any Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in an amount (proportionate to the Company's equity interest in such Subsidiary) equal to the net worth of such Restricted Subsidiary at the time that such Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; (ii) at any date the aggregate of all Restricted Payments made as Investments since the Issue Date shall exclude and be reduced by an amount (proportionate to the Company's equity interest in such Subsidiary) equal to (A) the amount of Investments in any Unrestricted Subsidiary that becomes a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary after the date of such Investment or (B) the net worth of any Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time that such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, not to exceed, in the case of any such redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments previously made by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary that were treated as Restricted Payments under the New Indenture (in each case (i) and (ii) "net worth" to be calculated based upon the fair market value of the assets of such Subsidiary as of any such date of designation); and (iii) any property transferred to or from an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be valued at its fair market value at the time of such transfer. The New Indenture is expected to provide that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, after such designation, (a) the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary (i) provides credit support for, or a guarantee of, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness) or (ii) is directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary, (b) a default with respect to any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary (including any right which the holders thereof may have to take enforcement action against such Subsidiary) would permit (upon notice, lapse of time or both) any holder of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to declare a default on such other Indebtedness or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity or (c) such Subsidiary owns any Capital Stock of, or owns or holds any Lien on any property of, any Restricted Subsidiary which is not a Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated. The New Indenture is expected to provide that Subsidiaries of the Company that are not designated by the Board of Directors as Restricted or Unrestricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to be Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any provisions of this covenant, all Subsidiaries of a Restricted Subsidiary will be Restricted Subsidiaries and all Subsidiaries of an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of the Company may not change the designation of a Subsidiary of the Company more than twice in any period of five years. Limitation on Issuance and Sale of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The New Indenture is expected to provide that the Company (a) will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Capital Stock (other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary) and (b) will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that this covenant will not prohibit (i) the sale or other disposition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in compliance with the other provisions of the Indenture, (ii) the sale or other disposition of a portion of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of an existing Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary if at the time of such sale or disposition, the Company could make an Investment in the remaining Capital Stock held by it or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an amount equal to the amount of its remaining Investment in such existing Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the covenant entitled "Restricted Payments," or (iii) the ownership by directors of director's qualifying shares or the ownership by foreign nationals of Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent mandated by applicable law. The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Preferred Stock. Limitation on Liens. The New Indenture is expected to provide that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens upon any of their respective property or assets or on any income or profits therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits thereon, whether owned on the date of the New Indenture or thereafter acquired, unless (x) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness subordinate to the New Senior Notes, the New Senior Notes are secured by a valid, perfected Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens and (y) in all other cases, the New Senior Notes are equally and ratably secured; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit or restrict, and the Company need not equally and ratably secure the New Senior Notes as a result of, Permitted Liens. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The New Indenture is expected to provide that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction, except that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if (i) immediately prior thereto, and after giving effect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (the Indebtedness thereunder being equivalent to the Attributable Value thereof) the Company could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) in compliance with the Additional Debt Ratio test contained in the covenant described under "--Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness" above and (ii) the Sale and Leaseback Transaction constitutes an Asset Sale effected in accordance with the requirements of the covenant described under "--Limitation on Asset Sales" above. Limitation on Line of Business. The New Indenture is expected to provide that for so long as any New Senior Notes are outstanding, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will engage solely in the business of (i) transmitting and receiving video, voice or data primarily through wireless broadband transmission facilities, (ii) utilizing wireless channels for any commercial purpose permitted by the FCC, and (iii) evaluating, participating or pursuing any other activity or opportunity that is related to those identified in (i) or (ii) above (including pursuant to acquisitions of entities or divisions or lines of business of entities in the foregoing business). Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets. The New Indenture is expected to provide that the Company will not, in any transaction or series of transactions, merge or consolidate with or into, or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to, any Person or Persons, and the Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to enter into any such transaction or series of transactions if such transaction or series of transactions, in the aggregate, would result in a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company or the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other Person or Persons, unless at the time of and after giving effect thereto (a) either (i) if the transaction or series of transactions is a merger or consolidation involving the Company, the Company shall be the surviving Person of such merger or consolidation, or (ii) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which the properties and assets of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, are sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred, leased or otherwise disposed of (including, with respect to the Restricted Subsidiaries, by merger or consolidation) (any such surviving Person or Persons of such merger or consolidation or to whom such sale, assignment, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made being the "Surviving Entity") shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume by a supplemental New Indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the New Senior Notes and the New Indenture and in each case, the New Indenture shall remain in full force and effect; (b) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions), could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to the Additional Debt Leverage Ratio in the covenant described under "--Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness" above; and (c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions), the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, is at least equal to the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company immediately before such transaction or series of transactions; provided, however, that any Restricted Subsidiary may merge or consolidate with the Company if (i) the Company is the surviving Person of such merger or consolidation and (ii) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The New Indenture is expected to provide that for purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. The New Indenture is expected to provide that in connection with any consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition contemplated hereby, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, assignment or other disposition and the supplemental New Indenture in respect thereof complies with the requirements under the New Indenture. The New Indenture is expected to provide that upon any consolidation or merger or any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with the foregoing, in which the Company is not the continuing corporation, the successor corporation formed by such a consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the New Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company therein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the New Indenture and the New Senior Notes. The New Indenture is expected to provide that for all purposes of the New Indenture and the New Senior Notes (including the provisions of this covenant and the covenants described under "--Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness," "--Limitation on Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries" and "--Limitation on Liens"), Subsidiaries of any Surviving Entity will, upon such transaction or series of transactions, become Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries as provided pursuant to the covenant described under "--Limitation on Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries" and all Indebtedness, and all Liens on property or assets, of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions will be deemed to have been incurred upon such transaction or series of transactions. CS Wireless Interest. The New Indenture is expected to provide that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the New Indenture, for all purposes of the New Indenture, CS Wireless, to the extent that it is a Subsidiary, shall be deemed to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Events of Default The New Indenture is expected to provide that the following events will be defined in the New Indenture as "Events of Default": (i)the failure to pay the principal or Accreted Value of any Note when such principal or Accreted Value becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, pursuant to a required offer to purchase or otherwise; (ii)a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the New Senior Notes or the New Indenture which default continues for a period of 60 days after the Company receives written notice thereof from the Trustee specifying the default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" under the New Indenture or the Company and the Trustee receive such notice from holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding New Senior Notes; (iii)default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay when due principal on such Indebtedness within the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (which failure continues beyond any applicable grace period) (a "Payment Default") or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $5,000,000 or more; (iv)one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $5,000,000 (unless covered by insurance by a reputable insurer as to which the insurer has acknowledged coverage) being rendered against the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; (v)certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (vi)any holder of at least $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall foreclose upon assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary having an aggregate fair market value, individually or in the aggregate, of at least $5,000,000 or shall have exercised any right under applicable law or applicable security documents to take ownership of any such assets in lieu of foreclosure. The New Indenture is expected to provide that upon the happening of any Event of Default specified in the New Indenture, the Trustee may, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding New Senior Notes may, declare the Accreted Value of all the New Senior Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a "notice of acceleration" (the "Acceleration Notice") and upon such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in the New Senior Notes or the New Indenture to the contrary. If an Event of Default with respect to bankruptcy proceedings relating to the Company occurs and is continuing, then such amount will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the New Senior Notes. Holders of the New Senior Notes may not enforce the New Indenture or the New Senior Notes except as provided in the New Indenture. Subject to certain limitation, holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding New Senior Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each holder of the New Senior Notes notice of the Default or Event of Default within 10 days after obtaining knowledge thereof. The Trustee may withhold from holders of the New Senior Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or a failure to comply with the covenants and provisions described under "--Certain Covenants--Limitation on Asset Sales"; and "--Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets" above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The New Indenture is expected to provide that, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the New Senior Notes as described in the preceding paragraph but before a judgment or decree of money due in respect of the New Senior Notes has been obtained, the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the New Senior Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee may rescind such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (i) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the New Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, (ii) all overdue interest on all New Senior Notes, (iii) the principal of and premium, if any, on any New Senior Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the New Senior Notes, and (iv) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate provided for in the New Senior Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration; (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (c) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the New Senior Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. Prior to the declaration of acceleration of the New Senior Notes, the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the New Senior Notes may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under the New Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any New Senior Notes or any default in respect of any covenant which cannot be amended without the consent of each holder affected. The New Indenture is expected to provide that no holder of any of the New Senior Notes has any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the New Indenture or the New Senior Notes or any remedy thereunder, unless the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding New Senior Notes have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee under the New Senior Notes and the New Indenture, the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 30 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and the Trustee, within such 30-day period, has not received directions inconsistent with such written request by holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding New Senior Notes. Such limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of a Note for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee is required to exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the New Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to the provisions of the New Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, whether or not an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee under the New Indenture is not under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the New Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to certain provisions concerning the rights of the Trustee, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding New Senior Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under the New Indenture. The Company is required to furnish to the Trustee annual and quarterly statements as to the performance by the Company of its obligations under the New Indenture and as to any default in such performance. The Company is also required to notify the Trustee within ten days of any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of New Indenture The New Indenture is expected to provide that the Company may, at its option and at any time, terminate the obligations of the Company with respect to the outstanding New Senior Notes ("defeasance"). Such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding New Senior Notes, except for (i) the rights of holders of outstanding New Senior Notes to receive payment in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such New Senior Notes when such payments are due, (ii) the Company's obligations to issue temporary New Senior Notes, register the transfer or exchange of any New Senior Notes, replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen New Senior Notes and maintain an office or agency for payments in respect of the New Senior Notes, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and (iv) the defeasance provisions of the New Indenture. In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to terminate the obligations of the Company with respect to certain covenants that are set forth in the New Indenture, some of which are described under "--Certain Covenants" above and any subsequent failure to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the New Senior Notes ("covenant defeasance"). The New Indenture is expected to provide that in order to exercise either defeasance or covenant defeasance, (i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the New Senior Notes, cash in United States dollars, U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in the New Indenture), or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding New Senior Notes to redemption or maturity (except lost, stolen or destroyed New Senior Notes which have been replaced or paid); (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the outstanding New Senior Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred (in the case of defeasance, such opinion must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable federal income tax laws); (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; (iv) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest with respect to any securities of the Company; (v) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; (vi) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally; and (vii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent under the New Indenture to either defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with. Satisfaction and Discharge The New Indenture is expected to provide that the New Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the New Senior Notes, as expressly provided for in the New Indenture) as to all outstanding New Senior Notes when (i) either (a) all the New Senior Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed New Senior Notes which have been replaced or repaid, and New Senior Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all New Senior Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (except lost, stolen or destroyed New Senior Notes which have been replaced or paid) have been called for redemption pursuant to the terms of the New Senior Notes or have otherwise become due and payable and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the New Senior Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the New Senior Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; (ii) the Company has paid all other sums payable under the New Indenture by the Company; (iii) there exists no Default or Event of Default under the New Indenture; and (iv) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the New Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the New Indenture have been complied with. Reports to Holders The New Indenture is expected to provide that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 15 days after it files them with the Commission, copies of its annual report and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods prescribed under such rules and regulations. Notwithstanding that the Company may not be required to remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission, the New Indenture shall require the Company to continue to file with the Commission and provide to the Trustee such annual and interim reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, respectively, as the Company would be required to file were it subject to such reporting requirements within the time periods prescribed under such rules and regulations. Upon qualification of the New Indenture under the TIA, the Company shall also comply with the provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

AND PHILADELPHIA CHOICE TELEVISION, INC. LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS CAI Wireless Systems, Inc. Chapter 7 Liquidation Analysis As of March 31, 1998 Introduction The Company believes that the value of the property to be received under the Plan by each holder of an Impaired Claim is more than the value such holder would receive in a liquidation of the Company under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. To arrive at that conclusion, the Company estimated and compared the likely returns to each holder of an Impaired Claim in a liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Plan. The results of such analyses are set forth below. The Liquidation Analysis was prepared using CAI's assets as of March 31, 1998, and is based on a number of estimates and assumptions which are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of CAI and/or any Chapter 7 trustee. ACCORDINGLY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE VALUES REFLECTED IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS WOULD BE REALIZED IF CAI WERE, IN FACT, TO UNDERGO SUCH A CHAPTER 7 LIQUIDATION, AND ACTUAL RESULTS COULD VARY MATERIALLY FROM THOSE SHOWN HERE. Major Assumptions CAI' operating systems are assumed to be sold in whole or in part (potentially market by market) to maximize value in the liquidation process. CAI is required to make certain payments, including payments to maintain certain lease obligations for equipment and spectrum, until each system is sold. The net cash expense required for the continuation of operations is assumed to total $9.2 million. Operations during the liquidation period would not generate sufficient cash to support such operations. Funding is assumed to come from a combination of restricted cash on hand (from funds advanced to CAI by its senior secured lender) and the extension of additional credit by CAI's current lender. If such credit was not available, however, CAI would be unable to continue operations, and the estimated liquidation value of CAI's wireless channel rights would be approximately $25 million, rather than $91 million (as set forth below). All assets are assumed to be sold within an average of six months. All liquidation proceeds are stated in actual dollar terms and have not been discounted to present values. Significant reductions in personnel occur at the outset of the Chapter 7 liquidation. Operating expenses continue to be incurred through the liquidation period, however, primarily as a result of the continued employment of individuals necessary to maintain the operating systems and perform administrative functions required by the Chapter 7 trustee. During the Chapter 7 liquidation, CAI, through the Subsidiaries, continues to operate its business and, accordingly, events may occur that could impact recovery proceeds and Claims to be satisfied. Such events could include changes in legislation related to the liquidation process and changes in the market. If the implementation of the liquidation process is delayed, significant operating losses and/or changes in assets and liabilities may be incurred during the interim period until the liquidation is completed, and the net liquidation value could be significantly below that estimated herein. Upon liquidation, actual liabilities may vary significantly from those reflected on the Company's March 31, 1998 consolidated balance sheet and in this Liquidation Analysis, because Claims presently unknown to the Company may be asserted. It is not possible to predict with any certainty the inevitable increase in liabilities resulting from contingent and/or unliquidated Claims. Actual amounts may vary materially from these estimates. Liquidation values are predicated upon the March 31, 1998 consolidated financial statements provided by the Company. The analysis does not take into account the effect of operating results or adjustments to the unaudited financial statements subsequent to March 31, 1998, or changes in assets and liabilities after that date, except for specific adjustments described in the assumptions or notes to the Liquidation Analysis. This analysis assumes no new litigation and only assumes amounts already accrued on the consolidated balance sheet to cover known litigation exposures. Note A - Actual Book Values as of March 31, 1998 The book values used in this Liquidation Analysis are the book values as of March 31, 1998 (unless otherwise noted). Note B - Cash and Cash Equivalents The Liquidation Analysis assumes that operations prior to and during the liquidation period will leave the Company with no cash or cash equivalents. The costs of operating the Company through the six month liquidation period are projected to be approximately $9.2 million. $2.0 million -of these costs is expected to be funded from restricted cash proceeds previously received by the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement. Note C B Subscriber and Other Receivables Subscriber and other receivables are due from CAI's analog video customers. Accounts receivable are assumed to be 47.0%, collectible. Note D - Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses and other current assets are composed of prepaid programming, insurance, postage and service contracts. Prepaid expenses and other current assets are estimated to have no liquidation value. Note E - Property, Plant & Equipment The estimated liquidation values of equipment, real estate and other components of property, plant and equipment are based on discussions between management, in-house engineers, outside contractors, and vendors. Equipment includes transmission equipment, subscriber equipment, office furniture and equipment, leasehold improvements, vehicles, and projects in progress. Projects in progress is primarily comprised of equipment purchased for the roll-out of service in Hampton Roads. Based on a line-by-line analysis, the fixed assets and projects in progress were estimated to generate $19.8 million in a liquidation, or 39.7% of book value. Note F B Wireless Channel Rights, Net The value of the wireless channel rights was determined based on the results of the FCC's LMDS auction which occurred in March of 1998. LMDS spectrum can be used for telephony, high speed data and subscription television services, and consists of two blocks, a 1,100 MHz block at a 28 GHz frequency and another 150 MHz block. While CAI only has a portion of 198 MHz of bandwidth at the 2.5 GHz frequency, this bandwidth is much more efficient than bandwidth at the 28 GHz frequency. This enhanced efficiency should allow MMDS companies to offer the same capacity of services as entities utilizing LMDS spectrum. Furthermore, the LMDS auction may provide a proxy for a liquidation value because any liquidation of the Company would result in an auction of its spectrum on a market-by-market basis. An analysis of the net price paid "per POP" (an industry term for "per person") for the top 20 markets determined that the average price per POP was $3.17. This figure was multiplied by CAI's 44.8 million POPS (in major markets) and then discounted by the weighted average percent of channels that CAI does not control in each market. In CAI's top twelve markets, the Company controls a weighted average (using the population of each market as the weighting factor ) of 29.6 of the total 33 channels (6 MHz) within the MMDS spectrum. The resulting value was further reduced by the present value of ten years of estimated future lease payments on leased channels. Note G B Investment in CS Wireless In a liquidation scenario, the value of the CS Wireless equity stake was assumed to be nominal. Note H B Investment in TelQuest CAI's investment in TelQuest is assumed to be sold for $1.4 million. Note I B Senior Note Escrow The holders of the Senior Notes have a first priority security interest in the Senior Note Escrow. The remaining cash balance of the Senior Note Escrow therefore will be distributed to the holders of the Senior Notes in any liquidation scenario. Note J - Goodwill and Loan Acquisition Costs, Net If CAI ceases to exist on a going concern basis, the value of these assets will be zero. Note K - Other Assets Other assets include notes receivable, intangible assets and deposits and are assumed to bring $1.1 million in a liquidation. Note L - Administrative and Priority Claims See notes T through W. Note M - Secured Notes The Secured Notes are secured by a lien on substantially all assets of the Company. The total amount includes accrued interest of $3.03 million as of June 30, 1998 and fees of $730,000. An additional $7.2 million will be required to reflect the additional funding required (primarily to pay leases) to maintain the value of the Company's assets through the liquidation process. Note N - Wireless Channel Right Obligations Wireless channel right obligations are comprised of both secured and unsecured obligations. $400,000 of the obligation is secured by channel rights and is due to Mester. The remaining $4.4 million represents the exercise price of rights to lease or purchase MMDS channels in the future and is an unsecured claim. Note O B Bott Notes The Bott Notes due to Bott and the Bott Family Trust are collateralized by the common stock of the Subsidiaries that own certain wireless channel rights in Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany. The Bott Notes are discount notes. Note P B Subsidiary Notes Payable The debt of CAI'S Subsidiaries will be assumed by the acquiror of the channel rights and Subsidiary stock. Note Q - General Unsecured Claims General unsecured claims include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, less priority claims for, among other things, wages and taxes, Secured Notes fees, accrued restructuring costs, and accrued interest. (See Notes M and T through W.) Allocation of the net estimated liquidation proceeds to general unsecured claims has been made in accordance with priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy Code, and is pari passu with the Senior Notes. Note R - Senior Notes Senior notes are general unsecured obligations of CAI except for the first priority security interest in the Senior Note Escrow. The total dollar amount includes accrued interest of $9.9 million as of June 30, 1998. Percentage recovery includes cash from the Senior Note Escrow. Recovery would be 16.1% or $45.9 million excluding cash from the Senior Note Escrow. Note S - Notes Payable and Subordinated Debt The ECN Notes are subordinated to all senior indebtedness and obligations collateralized by liens or a security interest in CAI property; they include accrued interest of $57,533 as of June 30, 1998. The 12% Subordinated Note is due to Merrill Lynch Global Allocation Fund and includes accrued interest of $1.2 million as of June 30, 1998. Note T - Administrative, Consulting and Financial Fees and Attorneys' Fees Attorneys' fees are assumed to average $75,000 per month for six months. The administrative, consulting, financial and accounting fees are assumed to be $1.0 million and include transaction fees for the sale of certain assets. Note U - Trustee's Fees Trustee's fees assumes the receipt of 3% of sale proceeds of property, plant and equipment and wireless channel rights. Note V - Accrued Wages, Compensation, Pension and Profit Sharing Estimated claim represents the balance of accrued payroll at March 31, 1998 and includes payroll, vacation pay, holiday pay, bonus pay, royalties and commissions, professional fees and accrued promotions entitled to priority under the Bankruptcy Code. The Company assumes that the number of employees, if any, with accrued payroll greater than the $4,300 priority claim limit is insignificant, and hence no amount has been attributed to such claims. Note W - Accrued Taxes Accrued taxes include payroll, property, sales, income and general taxes. CAI Wireless Systems, Inc Statement of Assets For Balances as of March 31, 1998 ($000)
