Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish TCIC with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto furnished to TCIC with respect to its most recent fiscal year, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, TCIC believes that, during the year ended December 31, 1996, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with. Based solely on review of the copies of such Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto furnished to TCIC with respect to its most recent fiscal year, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, TCIC believes that, during the year ended December 31, 1996, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with except that one report each, covering the initial reporting of shareholdings, was filed late by Messrs.

(a) Summary Compensation Table of TCI Communications, Inc. The following table shows, for the three years ended December 31, 1996, all forms of compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and each of the five most highly compensated executive officers of TCIC, whose total annual salary and bonus exceeded $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. Additionally, the following table includes disclosure of all forms of compensation paid by the Company to Mr. Gary S. Howard during the year ended December 31, 1996. On December 4, 1996, TCI distributed (the "Distribution") to the holders of shares of TCI Group common stock all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Satellite. Certain directors, officers and employees of TCI and its subsidiaries have been granted options to purchase shares of Series A TCI Group common stock ("TCI Options") and stock appreciation rights with respect to shares of Series A TCI Group common stock ("TCI SARs"). The TCI Options and TCI SARs have been granted pursuant to various stock plans of TCI (the "TCI Plans"). The TCI Plans give the Board of Directors of TCI (the "TCI Board") the authority to make equitable adjustments to outstanding TCI Options and TCI SARs in the event of certain transactions, of which the Distribution of Satellite was one. (continued) III-4 7 The TCI Board determined that, immediately prior to the Distribution, each TCI Option would be divided into two separately exercisable options: (i) an option to purchase TCI Satellite Entertainment, Inc. Series A common stock ("SATCo Option"), exercisable for the number of shares of TCI Satellite Entertainment, Inc. Series A common stock ("SATCo Series A Stock") that would have been issued in the Distribution in respect of the shares of Series A TCI Group common stock ("TCI Group Series A Stock") subject to the applicable TCI Option, if such TCI Option had been exercised in full immediately prior to the record date of the Distribution, and containing substantially equivalent terms as the existing TCI Option, and (ii) an option to purchase TCI Group Series A Stock (a "TCI Group Series A Option"), exercisable for the same number of shares of TCI Group Series A Stock as the corresponding TCI Option had been. The aggregate exercise price of each TCI Option was allocated between the SATCo Option and the TCI Group Series A Option into which it was divided, and all other terms, including date of grant, of the SATCo Option and TCI Group Series A Option are in all material respects the same as the terms of such TCI Option. Similar adjustments were made to the outstanding TCI SARs, resulting in the holders thereof holding TCI Group Series A SARs and SATCo SARs instead of TCI SARs, and to outstanding restricted stock awards, resulting in the holders thereof holding restricted shares of SATCo Series A Stock in addition to restricted stock of TCI Group Series A Stock, effective immediately prior to the Distribution. The foregoing adjustments were made pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the TCI Plans pursuant to which the respective TCI Group Series A Options and TCI Group Series A SARs were granted. Prior to the Distribution, TCI and Satellite entered into an agreement to sell to each other from time to time at the then current market price shares of TCI Group Series A Stock and SATCo Series A Stock, respectively, as necessary to satisfy their respective obligations under such securities. TCI, in addition to the TCI Group Series A Stock, has shares of the Tele-Communications, Inc. Series B TCI Group common stock ("TCI Group Series B Stock") the Tele-Communications, Inc. Series A Liberty Media Group common stock ("Liberty Group Series A Stock"), and the Tele-Communications, Inc. Series B Liberty Media Group common stock ("Liberty Group Series B Stock") outstanding. Prior to the Distribution, Satellite was a member of the TCI Group and all of the assets and businesses transferred to Satellite were included in the TCI Group. Accordingly, the Distribution was made to the TCI Group Stockholders and the holders of Liberty Media Group Common Stock did not participate in the Distribution. Effective January 14, 1997, TCI issued a stock dividend to holders of Liberty Media Group common stock consisting of one share of Liberty Group Series A Stock for every two shares of Liberty Group Series A Stock owned and one share of Liberty Group Series A Stock for every two shares of Liberty Group Series B Stock owned (the "Liberty Group Stock Dividend"). As a result of the Liberty Group Stock Dividend, the number of options granted to purchase Liberty Series A Stock and the price to purchase such options have been adjusted. (continued) III-5 8

(continued) III-8 11 (11) Includes dollar value of annual TCI contributions to the TCI Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") in which all named executive officers are fully vested. Directors who are not employees of the Company are ineligible to participate in the ESPP. The ESPP, a defined contribution plan, enables participating employees to acquire a proprietary interest in TCI and benefits upon retirement. Under the terms of the ESPP, employees are eligible for participation after one year of service. The ESPP's normal retirement age is 65 years. Participants may contribute up to 10% of their compensation and TCI (by annual resolution of the TCI Board of Directors) may contribute up to 100% of the participants' contributions. The ESPP includes a salary deferral feature in respect of employee contributions. Forfeitures (due to participants' withdrawal prior to full vesting) are used to reduce TCI's otherwise determined contributions. Generally, participants acquire a vested right in TCI contributions as follows:
Years of service Vesting Percentage ------------------ ---------------- Less than 1 0 1-2 20 2-3 30 3-4 45 4-5 60 5-6 80 6 or more 100
Participant contributions are fully vested. Although TCI has not expressed an intent to terminate the ESPP, it may do so at any time. The ESPP provides for full and immediate vesting of all participants' rights upon termination. (b) Option/SAR Grants Table of TCI Communications, Inc.

In 1989, ECP Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("ECP"), and Halcyon Communications, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation which is not an affiliate of the Company ("HCI"), formed Halcyon Communications Partners, an Oklahoma general partnership ("HCP"), for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating cable television systems.

("TCINV"), and TEMPO Cable, Inc. ("Tempo Cable") and TCI Cablevision of Utah, Inc.

Series A common stock for the 20 trading days preceding the IP VI Effective Date and $1,000,000 in cash. Mr. Hindery is the beneficial owner of 100% of ICM-VI and acquired his interest in ICM-VI in July of 1996 for $10,000.

That right of first refusal may be exercised by Dr. Malone either by the payment of cash or, subject to certain exceptions, by exchanging shares of TCI Group Series A Stock for the TCI Shares or Contingent TCI Shares to be acquired by him. If not exercised by Dr. Malone, the right of first refusal may be exercised by the Company. Completion of the InterMedia Transactions is subject to various conditions, including execution of definitive agreements, receipt of consents from governmental authorities and other third parties. The interests of Messrs. Hindery, Fisher and Malone in the InterMedia Transactions were disclosed to the Company's Board of Directors which approved the InterMedia Transactions pursuant to a vote in which Messrs. Fisher and Malone abstained from voting. (continued) III-25 28 (b) Certain business relationships. Satellite Relationships John Malone is currently a director of TCIC, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and a director of TCI and is also the Chairman of the Board and a director of Satellite. Dr. Malone is also a principal stockholder of both TCI and Satellite. Since the consummation of the Distribution, Satellite and TCI have operated independently, and neither has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other. However, for the purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between Satellite and TCI after the Distribution, and to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition, Satellite and TCI have entered into various agreements, including the "Reorganization Agreement," the "Transition Services Agreement," an amendment to TCI's existing "Tax Sharing Agreement," the "Indemnification Agreements," the "Trade Name and Service Mark Agreement" and the "Share Purchase Agreement," all of which are described below. In addition, TCIC continues to provide installation, maintenance, retrieval and other customer fulfillment services for certain customers of Satellite, pursuant to the "Fulfillment Agreement," and entered into the "TCIC Credit Facility" with Satellite, both of which are described below. Reorganization Agreement. On the Distribution date, TCI, TCIC and a number of other TCI subsidiaries, including Satellite, entered into the Reorganization Agreement, which provided for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Distribution, the conditions thereto and certain provisions governing the relationship between Satellite and TCI with respect to and resulting from the Distribution. (continued) III-26 29 Certain of Satellite's assets relating to the digital satellite business were historically owned by subsidiaries of TCI other than Satellite and its predecessors. These assets include the capital stock of Tempo Satellite, Inc. ("Tempo") and the 20.86% partnership interests in PRIMESTAR Partners, L.P. ("PRIMESTAR Partners"). The Reorganization Agreement provided for, among other things, the transfer of these assets to Satellite and for the assumption by Satellite of related liabilities. No consideration was payable by Satellite for these transfers, except that two subsidiaries of Satellite purchased TCI's partnership interests in PRIMESTAR Partners for consideration payable by delivery of promissory notes issued by such subsidiaries (the "K-1 Notes"), which promissory notes were assumed by TCI on the Distribution date in the form of a capital contribution to Satellite. The Reorganization Agreement also provides for certain cross-indemnities designed to make Satellite financially responsible for all liabilities relating to the digital satellite business prior to the Distribution, as well as for all liabilities incurred by Satellite after the Distribution, and makes TCI financially responsible for all potential liabilities of Satellite which are not related to the digital satellite business, including, for example, liabilities arising as a result of Satellite's having been a subsidiary of TCI. The Reorganization Agreement further provided for each of Satellite and TCI to preserve the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information of the other party, for five years following the Distribution, subject to customary exceptions, including disclosures required by law, court order or government regulation. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, on the Distribution date, Satellite issued to TCIC a note in the principal amount of $250,000,000 (the "Satellite Note") representing a portion of Satellite's intercompany balance owed to TCIC on such date. See "-TCIC Credit Facility" below. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the remainder of Satellite's intercompany balance owed to TCIC on the Distribution date (other than certain advances to Satellite made by TCIC in 1996 to fund certain construction and related costs associated with TCI Satellite Entertainment, Inc.'s Satellites ("SATCo Satellites"), as described below under "-Reimbursement of Certain Satellite Expenses"), and the indebtedness represented by the K-1 Notes were assumed by TCI in the form of (i) a $100 million capital contribution to Satellite, (ii) consideration for Satellite's assumption of TCI's obligations under options granted to Brendan R. Clouston, another executive officer of TCI and another employee of TCI to purchase shares of SATCo Series A Stock representing 1.0%, 1.0% and 0.5%, respectively, of the shares of Satellite common stock issued and outstanding on the Distribution date, determined immediately after giving effect to the Distribution but before giving effect to the issuance of the shares of SATCo Series A Stock issuable upon exercise of such options, and (iii) consideration for Satellite's grant of an option to TCI to purchase up to 4,765,000 shares of SATCo Series A Stock (as such number may be adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits and the like), for a purchase price equal to the par value of such shares, as necessary to satisfy TCI's obligations to deliver shares of SATCo Series A Stock upon conversion of certain convertible securities of TCI as a result of the Distribution. See "-Other Arrangements" below. (continued) III-27 30 Transition Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement between TCI and Satellite, TCI is obligated to provide to Satellite certain services and other benefits, including certain administrative and other services that were provided by TCI prior to the Distribution. Such services include (i) tax reporting, financial reporting, payroll, employee benefit administration, workers' compensation administration, telephone, fleet management, package delivery, management information systems, billing, lock box, remittance processing and risk management services, (ii) other services typically performed by TCI's accounting, finance, treasury, corporate, legal, tax, benefits, insurance, facilities, purchasing, fleet management and advanced information technology department personnel, (iii) use of telecommunications and data facilities and of systems and software developed, acquired or licensed by TCI from time to time for financial forecasting, budgeting and similar purposes, including without limitation any such software for use on personal computers, in any case to the extent available under copyright law or any applicable third-party contract, (iv) technology support and consulting services, and (v) such other management, supervisory, strategic planning or other services as Satellite and TCI may from time to time mutually determine to be necessary or desirable. Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, TCI has also agreed to provide Satellite with certain most- favored-customer rights to programming services that TCI or a wholly owned subsidiary of TCI may own in the future and access to any volume discounts that may be available to TCI for purchase of home satellite dishes, satellite receivers and other equipment. As compensation for services rendered to Satellite and for the benefits made available to Satellite pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Satellite is required to pay TCI a fee of $1.50 per qualified subscribing household or other residential or commercial unit (counted as one subscriber regardless of the number of satellite receivers) per month, commencing with the Distribution date, up to a maximum of $3 million per month, and reimburse TCI quarterly for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by TCI to third parties in providing the services. The Transition Services Agreement continues in effect until the close of business on December 31, 1999 and will be renewed automatically for successive one-year periods thereafter, unless earlier terminated by (i) either party at the end of the initial term or the then current renewal term, as applicable, on not less than 180 days' prior written notice to the other party, (ii) TCI upon written notice to Satellite following certain changes in control of Satellite, and (iii) either party if the other party is the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events. During the period commencing with the Distribution date and ending on December 31, 1996, Satellite paid $763,000 to TCIC pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. Tax Sharing Agreement. Through the Distribution date, Satellite's results of operations were included in TCI's consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns, in accordance with the existing tax sharing arrangements among TCI and its consolidated subsidiaries. Effective July 1, 1995, TCI, TCIC and certain other subsidiaries of TCI entered into the Tax Sharing Agreement, which formalized such pre-existing tax sharing arrangements and implemented additional procedures for the allocation of certain consolidated income tax attributes and the settlement of certain intercompany tax allocations. The Tax Sharing Agreement encompasses U.S. Federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences and relies upon the Code and any applicable state, local and foreign tax law and related regulations. Prior to the Distribution date, the Tax Sharing Agreement was amended to provide that Satellite be treated as if it had been a party to the Tax Sharing Agreement, effective July 1, 1995. Pursuant to the Amended Tax Sharing Agreement, beginning on the July 1, 1995 effective date, Satellite is responsible to TCI for its share of current consolidated income tax liabilities through the Distribution date; TCI is responsible to the extent that Satellite's income tax attributes generated after the effective date and through the Distribution date are utilized by TCI to reduce its consolidated income tax liabilities. (continued) III-28 31 Indemnification Agreements. On the Distribution date, Satellite entered into the Indemnification Agreements with TCIC and TCI UA 1. The Indemnification Agreement with TCIC provides for Satellite to reimburse TCIC for any amounts drawn under an irrevocable transferable letter of credit issued by the Bank of New York for the account of TCIC to support Satellite's share of PRIMESTAR Partners' obligations under the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Agreement between PRIMESTAR Partners and GE American Communications, Inc. ("GE Americom"), with respect to PRIMESTAR Partners' use of transponders on the GE Americom medium power satellite that was launched on January 30, 1997, and which was declared commercially operational on March 6, 1997 ("GE-2"). At December 31, 1996, the drawable amount of such letter of credit was $25,000,000. The Indemnification Agreement with TCI UA 1 provides for Satellite to reimburse TCI UA 1 for any amounts drawn under the TCI UA 1 Letter of Credit, which supports the PRIMESTAR Credit Facility that was obtained by PRIMESTAR Partners to finance advances to Tempo for payments due in respect of the construction of SATCo Satellites and that is supported by letters of credit arranged for by affiliates of the partners of the PRIMESTAR Partners (other than G.E. Americom Services, Inc.). The amount of the TCI UA 1 Letter of Credit was $141,250,000 at December 31, 1996. The Indemnification Agreements further provide for Satellite to indemnify and hold harmless TCIC and TCI UA 1 and certain related persons from and against any losses, claims, and liabilities arising out of the respective letters of credit or any drawings thereunder. The payment obligations of Satellite to TCIC and TCI UA 1, under such Indemnification Agreements are subordinated in right of payment with respect to certain future obligations of Satellite to financial institutions. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the aggregate amount paid by Satellite to TCI under the Indemnification Agreements was $1,623,000. Such amount represents the aggregate fees incurred by TCI with respect to the TCI UA 1 Letter of Credit from the Distribution date through December 31, 1996. Trade Name and Service Mark License Agreement. Pursuant to the Trade Name and Service Mark License Agreement (the "License Agreement"), TCI granted to Satellite, for an initial term of three years following the Distribution, a non-exclusive non-assignable license to use certain trade names and service marks specifically identified in the License Agreement, including the mark "TCI" in the context of the digital satellite business. The License Agreement provides, among other things, that all advertising, promotion and use of certain of TCI's trade names and service marks by Satellite shall be consistent with TCI guidelines and standards, as well as subject to TCI approval in certain circumstances. Fulfillment Agreement. TCIC has historically provided Satellite with certain customer fulfillment services for PRIMESTAR customers enrolled by Satellite's direct sales force or the national call center maintained by Satellite for orders, information and customer service. Charges for such services have been allocated to Satellite by TCIC based on scheduled rates. (continued) III-29 32 Pursuant to the Fulfillment Agreement entered into by TCIC and Satellite, TCIC continues to provide fulfillment services to Satellite following the Distribution with respect to customers of the PRIMESTAR medium power service. Such services include installation, maintenance, retrieval, inventory management and other customer fulfillment services. The Fulfillment Agreement became effective on January 1, 1997. Among other matters, the Fulfillment Agreement (i) sets forth the responsibilities of TCIC with respect to fulfillment services, including performance standards and penalties for nonperformance, (ii) provides for TCIC's fulfillment sites to be connected to the billing and information systems used by Satellite, allowing for on-line scheduling and dispatch of installation and other service calls, and (iii) provides scheduled rates to be charged to Satellite for the various customer fulfillment services to be provided by TCIC. Satellite retains sole control under the Fulfillment Agreement to establish the retail prices and other terms and conditions on which installation and other services are provided to Satellite's customers. The Fulfillment Agreement also provides that, during the term of the Fulfillment Agreement, TCIC will not provide fulfillment services to any other Ku-band, Ka-band, direct broadcast satellite ("DBS"), broadcast satellite service, fixed satellite service, C- band, wireless or other similar or competitive provider or distributor of television programming services (other than traditional cable). The Fulfillment Agreement has an initial term of two years and is terminable, on 180 days notice to TCIC, by Satellite at any time during the first six months following the Distribution date. The scheduled rates for the services to be provided by TCIC under the Fulfillment Agreement exceed the scheduled rates upon which charges historically have been allocated to Satellite for such services, reflecting in part the value to Satellite, as determined by Satellite's management, of the performance standards, exclusivity, termination right and certain other provisions included in the Fulfillment Agreement. Satellite and TCIC are currently discussing certain proposed changes to the Fulfillment Agreement, but there can be no assurance that any such changes will be agreed to or that Satellite will not exercise its rights to terminate the Fulfillment Agreement if an acceptable amendment is not agreed to prior to the end of Satellite's six-month termination window. There can be no assurance that the terms of the Fulfillment Agreement are not more or less favorable than those which could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties, or that comparable services could be obtained by Satellite from third parties on any terms if the Fulfillment Agreement is terminated. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the aggregate amount paid by Satellite to TCIC for fulfillment services was $74,049,000 (including $6,432,000 paid subsequent to the Distribution date). TCIC Credit Facility. In connection with the Distribution, Satellite and TCIC entered into the TCIC Credit Facility to provide for the terms of the Satellite Note and to provide for a revolving credit facility (the "TCIC Revolving Loans"). The TCIC Credit Facility required Satellite to use its best efforts to obtain external debt or equity financing after the Distribution date and provided for mandatory prepayment of the TCIC Revolving Loans and the Satellite Note from the proceeds thereof. The initial borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility were used to repay the Satellite Note in full. In connection with the February 1997 issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Subordinated Discount Notes by Satellite and the March 1997 determination that GE-2 was commercially operational, borrowing availability pursuant to the TCIC Credit Facility was terminated. Borrowings under the TCIC Revolving Loans bore interest at 10% per annum, compounded semi-annually. Commitment fees equal to 3/8% of the average unborrowed availability under the TCIC Credit Facility were payable to TCIC annually. Commitment fees paid to TCIC during the year ended December 31, 1996 aggregated $141,000. From the Distribution date through December 31, 1996, the aggregate amount of interest paid by Satellite to TCIC pursuant to the TCIC Credit Facility was $1,946,000. (continued) III-30 33 Reimbursement of Certain Satellite Expenses. During 1996, TCIC made intercompany advances to Satellite to fund the majority of the construction and related costs associated with the SATCo Satellites. Prior to 1996, PRIMESTAR Partners had funded substantially all of the construction and related costs associated with SATCo Satellites. In connection with the Distribution, a determination was made to provide that such 1996 advances from TCIC would be repaid by Satellite to TCIC (notwithstanding the Reorganization Agreement), to the extent (and only to the extent) that Tempo received corresponding advances from PRIMESTAR Partners. As a result of negotiations between Satellite and PRIMESTAR Partners, PRIMESTAR Partners advanced $73,786,000 to Tempo in December 1996 to reimburse Tempo for all the 1996 costs which previously had been funded by TCIC. Upon receipt, such advance was paid to TCIC by Tempo in repayment of such 1996 advance by TCIC. Call Center JV. In March 1997, Satellite and TCI agreed to form a limited liability company (the "Call Center LLC") through which Satellite and TCI are expected to conduct various customer call service operations. The initial ownership interests of Satellite and TCI in the Call Center LLC are expected to be 28% and 72%, respectively, subject to adjustment based on various categories of operating data for the last three quarters of 1997, including call center volume attributable to their customers. The Call Center LLC is expected to be managed by a four-member board of directors, two members of which are to be appointed by TCI and two members of which are to be appointed by Satellite. Any decision by the board of directors is expected to require approval by all four directors. Initially, the Call Center LLC is expected to provide customer call services only for TCI cable subscribers and Satellite DBS subscribers, but it is expected that those services in the future will be made available to third parties, including, for example, unaffiliated cable companies. The hourly rates for services provided by the Call Center LLC to Satellite and TCI through December 31,1997, have been fixed based on their respective expense budgets for those services. Thereafter, Satellite and TCI expect that the rates charged to them will be fair market rates, as established by agreement between Satellite and TCI. TCI has agreed to contribute assets comprising certain currently operating call center facilities, as well as a facility under construction. The assets to be contributed by TCI include two operating call centers and the facility under construction. Satellite has agreed to contribute assets comprising two currently operating call center facilities. Transfers of various of the call center assets to the Call Center LLC will be subject to receipt of consents of third parties, including governmental authorities. Pending receipt of any required third-party consents and regulatory approvals, Satellite and TCI have agreed to provide to the Call Center LLC the use of the call center assets to be contributed under services agreements or similar arrangements to the extent feasible. Operating obligations relating to the contributed assets, including leases of real and personal property (but not including any indebtedness for borrowed money), are expected to be assumed by the Call Center LLC. No definitive agreement has yet been reached regarding the above- described transaction, and there can be no assurance that any such transaction will be consummated. (continued) III-31 34 Other Arrangements. On the Distribution date, TCI and Satellite entered into the Share Purchase Agreement, which obligates TCI and Satellite to sell to each other from time to time, at the then current market price, shares of TCI Group Series A Stock and SATCo Series A Stock, respectively, as necessary to satisfy their respective obligations under TCI Group Series A Options and SATCo Series A Options held after the Distribution date by their respective employees and non-employee directors. Certain officers of Satellite who were officers or directors of TCI and/or TCIC prior to the Distribution received undertakings of indemnification from TCI and/or TCIC. Such undertakings survived the Distribution. National Digital Television Center, Inc. ("NDTC"), an indirect subsidiary of TCI, has obtained a nontransferable, nonexclusive license to use certain proprietary technology of Imedia Corporation currently under development ("Imedia Technology") to provide statistical multiplexing of digitally compressed video signals. Although there can be no assurance that the Imedia Technology will be successfully implemented, if successful, such technology would increase the number of digital program signals that could be transmitted simultaneously over a single satellite transponder, thus effectively increasing the digital compression ratio. NDTC has agreed that if, prior to September 1, 1997, Satellite engages NDTC to provide digitization, compression and uplinking services for any high power DBS system operated by Satellite, and NDTC is authorized to use Imedia Technology or other proprietary technologies to provide multiplexing of digitally compressed video signals for Satellite, NDTC shall provide such multiplexing services to Satellite for an agreed fee, based on NDTC's incremental costs and other factors. Satellite's rights to receive multiplexing services under its agreement with NDTC are assignable by Satellite to any affiliate of Satellite, including for this purpose PRIMESTAR Partners. Other Relationships TCIC continues to be an obligor under, or a guarantor of the payment or performance of, certain contractual obligations, including debt obligations, of certain entities in which International has an interest. International has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with TCIC, pursuant to which International has agreed to indemnify TCIC for any payment made by TCIC, or any claim, loss or liability that TCIC may otherwise incur, by reason of such obligations. International has not made any payments to TCIC pursuant to he Indemnification Agreement. TINTA's Puerto Rico subsidiaries purchase programming services from a subsidiary of TCIC. The charges, which approximate such TCIC subsidiary's cost and are based on the aggregate number of subscribers served by such Puerto Rico subsidiaries, aggregated $4.3 million during the year ended December 31, 1996. (continued) III-32 35 During 1996, TCIC transferred, subject to regulatory approval, certain distribution equipment to a subsidiary of TINTA in exchange for a L.14,950,000 ($23.3 million using the applicable exchange rate) principal amount promissory note. Such note bears interest at 7% compounded semi-annually. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the U.S. dollar equivalent of interest expense incurred with respect to such note was $658,000. The distribution equipment was subsequently leased back to TCIC over a 5 year term with semi-annual payments of L.998,000 ($1.7 million), plus expenses. TINTA can require TCIC to repurchase the equipment at the end of the lease term at an amount equal to the greater of (i) fair market value or (ii) an amount that when combined with the rental payments received (excluding executory costs) during the lease term, and discounted using an interest rate of 7%, would not exceed 89% of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the lease revenue under the above-described lease agreement aggregated $1.4 million. TCIC purchases sports and other programming from certain subsidiaries of Liberty. Charges to TCIC (which are based upon customary rates charged to others) for such programming were $76 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. Certain TCIC corporate general and administrative costs are charged to subsidiaries of TCI at rates set at the beginning of the year based on projected utilization for that year. The utilization-based charges are set at levels that management believes to be reasonable and that approximate the costs the subsidiaries would incur for comparable services on a stand alone basis. During the year ended December 31, 1996, Liberty and International were allocated $3 million in corporate general and administrative costs by TCIC. Liberty leases satellite transponder facilities from TCIC. Charges by TCIC for such arrangements for the year ended December 31, 1996 aggregated $12 million. TCI Starz, Inc., a subsidiary of TCI, has a 50.1% general partnership interest in QE+ Ltd Limited Partnership ("QE+"), which distributes STARZ!, a first-run movie premium programming service launched in 1994. Liberty holds the remaining 49.9% partnership interest. TCIC has entered into a long-term affiliation agreement with QE+ in respect to the distribution of the STARZ! service. Rates per subscriber specified in the agreement are based upon customary rates charged to other cable system operators. Payments to QE+ for 1996 were approximately $52 million. The affiliation agreement also provides that QE+ will not grant materially more favorable terms and conditions to other cable system operations unless such more favorable terms and conditions are made available to TCIC. The affiliation agreement also requires TCIC to make payments to QE+ with respect to a guaranteed minimum number of subscribers totaling approximately $339 million for the years 1997 and 1998. At December 31, 1996, TCIC had an $203 million intercompany receivable from TCI Starz, Inc. which represented the net effect of advances to TCI Starz, Inc., who in turn paid such amount to QE+ offset by TCIC's purchase of programming from QE+. Such receivable is non-interest bearing for five years from the date of the advances. A former consolidated subsidiary of Liberty, Home Shopping Network, Inc. ("HSN"), paid a commission to TCIC for merchandise sales to customers who are subscribers of TCIC's cable systems. Aggregate commissions to TCIC were $7 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. Effective December 20, 1996, Liberty entered into a series of transactions whereby it decreased its ownership interest in HSN such that Liberty no longer consolidates HSN. (continued) III-33 36 The Company believes that the foregoing business dealings with management during 1996 were based upon terms no less advantageous to TCIC than those which would be available in dealing with unaffiliated persons. (c) Indebtedness of management None. III-34
