C. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
-------------------------
(1) The Seller's representation on the Forms 144 regarding Seller's
knowledge of material information regarding the Issuer may be made as of the
date the Sales Plan is adopted. The "Remarks" section of each Form 144 should
state that the sale is being made pursuant to a previously adopted plan intended
to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) and indicate the later of the date the Sales Plan
was adopted or was most recently amended and that the representation is made as
of such date.
3
1. Seller hereby appoints Bear Xxxxxxx to sell shares of Stock
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below and on Schedule A hereto.
Subject to such terms and conditions, Bear Xxxxxxx hereby accepts such
appointment.
2. Bear Xxxxxxx is authorized to begin selling Stock pursuant to
this Sales Plan commencing on May 1, 2004 and ending on the earliest of October
31, 2005, or two business days after receipt of notice of death of Seller or of
the commencement of any proceedings in respect of or triggered by the Seller's
bankruptcy or insolvency, or the date on which the maximum number of shares of
Stock authorized to be sold under this Sales Plan, as set forth on Schedule A,
have been sold.
3. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Sales Plan,
commencing on May 1, 2004, Bear Xxxxxxx may sell with time, price and amount
discretion by Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx or another successor registered
representative designated by Bear Xxxxxxx, a total of 328,000 shares of Stock
(the "Sale Amount"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Sales Plan,
Bear Xxxxxxx shall sell the number of shares of Stock during each calendar month
(each, a "Sale Month") as set forth on Schedule A (the "Monthly Sale Amount")
which such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section C.3.d below. The Monthly
Sale Amount may be sold on any day that the principal market in which the Stock
trades is open (each such day a "Sale Day"), at a gross price before deduction
of commissions or xxxx-down of at least $25.00 per share ("Minimum Sale Price")
which such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section C.3.d.
Any Monthly Sale Amount shares not sold during a Sale Month shall be
rolled over and sold on the next Sale Day that such shares of Stock may be sold
in compliance with this Sales Plan.
Bear Xxxxxxx recognizes that the Seller does not want to file an
inordinate number of Form 4's during any month and shall consider this desire as
one factor among many in the course of exercising time, price and amount
discretion over the sales.
(b) Subject to the Minimum Sale Price and the other applicable
provisions of this Sales Plan, Bear Xxxxxxx shall sell the Sale Amount on each
Sale Day under ordinary principles of best execution.
(c) The Seller agrees to pay Bear Xxxxxxx the commission set forth
in the letter from Bear Xxxxxxx to the Seller and the Other Sellers (the "Fee
Letter"). Bear Xxxxxxx will deduct its commission, the standard Securities and
Exchange Commission fee, and any regulatory or transfer taxes from the proceeds
of any sale of Stock under this Sales Plan.
4
(d) The Monthly Sale Amount and any other applicable provisions of
the Sales Plan shall be adjusted automatically on a proportionate basis to take
into account any stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend with respect
to the Stock or any similar transaction with respect to the Issuer's stock that
occurs during the Sales Plan.
In October 2003, the Issuer announced that its board of directors had
approved an amended plan to spin-off the Issuer's recently launched satellite
service, Rainbow DBS and three of Rainbow Media's national entertainment
services - AMC, the Independent Film Channel and WE: Women's Entertainment -
their subsidiaries, and certain other Rainbow businesses (the "Rainbow Spinoff")
which, if completed will result in the formation of a new entity, referred to
herein as "Rainbow Spinco." In the event the Rainbow Spinoff is completed, this
Sales Plan shall continue to apply only to the Stock and shall not be adjusted
to cover any shares of stock of Rainbow Spinco (the "Spinco Stock") received by
Seller in respect of the Stock subject to the Sales Plan at the time of the spin
off.
Upon the issuance of Spinco Stock pursuant to the Rainbow Spinoff, the
Minimum Sale Price shall be adjusted as follows: the Minimum Sale Price per
share of Stock shall equal the Minimum Sale Price per share of Stock as set
forth above on the trading day immediately prior to the Rainbow Spinoff
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the closing price of a share
of Stock on the first day that Spinco Stock is publicly traded and the
denominator of which is the sum of (x) the closing price of a share of Spinco
Stock on the on the first day that Spinco Stock is publicly traded multiplied by
the number of shares of Spinco Stock received in the Rainbow Spinoff in respect
of a share of Stock plus (y) the closing price of a share of Stock on the first
day that Spinco Stock is publicly traded , rounded to the nearest whole cent.
NOTE: Please see Annex A for an example of the calculation for
adjusting the Minimum Sale Price in accordance with this section C.3.d.
Upon the issuance of Spinco Stock pursuant to the Rainbow Spinoff, the
Monthly Sale Amounts shall be adjusted as follows: the Monthly Sale Amount for
those months following the Rainbow Spinoff (the "Post-Spinoff Monthly Sale
Amounts") shall equal the Monthly Sale Amount for such month (and if applicable
the number of other shares of Stock remaining unsold at the time of the Rainbow
Spinoff, as the case may be) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the sum of (x) the closing price of a share of Stock on the first day that
Spinco Stock is publicly traded plus (y) the closing price of a share of Spinco
Stock on the first day that Spinco Stock is publicly traded multiplied by the
number of shares of Spinco Stock received in the Rainbow Spinoff in respect of a
share of Stock and the denominator of which is the closing price of a share of
Stock on the first day that Spinco Stock is publicly traded, rounded to the
nearest whole share.
5
NOTE: Please see Annex B for an example of the calculation for
adjusting the Monthly Sale Amount in accordance with this section C.3.d.
Sales under the adjusted Minimum Sales Price, and the adjusted Monthly
Sale Amounts, shall not take place until the first full Spinco Stock trading day
has been completed (9:30 a.m. EST through 4:00 p.m. EST).
(e) Seller understands that Bear Xxxxxxx may not be able to effect
a sale due to a market disruption or a legal, regulatory or contractual
restriction applicable to Bear Xxxxxxx or any other event or circumstance (a
"Blackout"). Seller also understands that even in the absence of a Blackout,
Bear Xxxxxxx may be unable to effect sales consistent with ordinary principles
of best execution due to insufficient volume of trading, failure of the Stock to
reach and sustain a limit order price, or other market factors in effect on the
date of a sale.
(f) Seller and Bear Xxxxxxx agree that if Issuer enters into a
transaction that results, in Issuer's good faith determination, in the
imposition of trading restrictions on the Seller, such as a pooling-of-interests
transaction or stock offering requiring an affiliate lock-up ("Issuer
Restriction"), and if Issuer shall provide Broker at least three (3) days' prior
written notice signed by Issuer and Seller and confirmed by telephone of such
trading restrictions (Attn: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Tel No.: (000) 000-0000, Fax No.:
(000) 000-0000; and Xxx Xxxxxxx, Tel No.: (000) 000-0000, Fax No.: (917)
000-0000, then Bear Xxxxxxx will cease effecting sales under this Sales Plan
until notified in writing by Issuer that such restrictions have terminated. Bear
Xxxxxxx shall resume effecting Sales in accordance with this Sales Plan as soon
as practicable after the cessation or termination of a Blackout or receipt of
the notice as set forth in the preceding sentence that the Issuer Restriction
has ended. Any unfilled sales that are not executed due to the existence of a
Blackout or Issuer Restriction shall be effected pursuant to this Sales Plan on
the next Sale Day that such shares of Stock may be sold in compliance with this
Sales Plan.
4. To the extent that any Stock remains in the Seller's account
after the end of, or upon termination of this Sales Plan, Bear Xxxxxxx agrees to
return such Stock promptly to the Issuer's transfer agent for relegending to the
extent that such Stock would then be subject to transfer restrictions in the
hands of the Seller or otherwise to be put in such name as directed by Seller.
5. Subject to the parameters specified in Section C(3) above, and
in each such case, subject to the manner of sale requirement of Rule 144 being
satisfied as provided in Section B(10)(d), sales of the Stock may be effected,
in whole or in part, on an agency basis or, if Bear Xxxxxxx is a market maker in
the Stock at the time that any sale is to be made under this Sales Plan, Bear
Xxxxxxx may, in its sole discretion, effect one or more sales on a principal
basis commensurate with all regulatory requirements regarding best execution
practices.
6
6. Seller acknowledges and agrees that he does not have
authority, influence or control over any sales of Stock effected by Bear Xxxxxxx
pursuant to this Sales Plan, and will not attempt to exercise any authority,
influence or control over such sales.
D. TERMINATION
1. This Sales Plan may not be terminated prior to the end of the
Sales Plan, except upon direction by Seller or by notice from Bear Xxxxxxx that
Bear Xxxxxxx, in its sole discretion, has determined that it is prohibited from
continuing to operate as agent by a legal, contractual or regulatory restriction
applicable to it or its affiliates. Any modification of this Sales Plan by
Seller will be made in good faith and not as part of a scheme to evade the
prohibitions of the Rule. In particular, subject to the Seller's right to
terminate this Sales Plan, Seller agrees not to alter or modify this Sales Plan
at any time that Seller is aware of any material non-public information about
the Issuer or the Stock.

any kind, even if advised of the possibility of such losses or damages

its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates from and against any
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees and the costs of investigating or defending any

by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further
appeal) to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part

We have requested that you sell the above-captioned securities pursuant

connection with this request, we hereby make the following representations to
the issuer, issuer's counsel, and issuer's transfer agent.

2. The sale of the shares of the above-captioned securities in
accordance with the terms of the Sales Plan, together with any other sales of
such securities by us and by any person or entity whose sales are required by
Rule 144 to be aggregated with ours during the three months preceding such sales
under the Sales Plan will not exceed the greater of 1% of the shares
outstanding; or the average weekly reported trading volume in such securities on
all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated
quotation system of a registered securities association during the four calendar
weeks preceding the filing of the applicable Form 144.
3. We have not made and will not make any payment to any other person
in connection with any execution you may effect on our order; and have not, and

behalf, and we are not an underwriter with respect to these securities. We agree
not to take, and agree to cause any person or entity with whom we would be

and representatives to make any inquiry of the issuer, issuer's counsel, and
issuer's transfer agent that you may deem advisable in connection with the
proposed sale of these securities.
8. We understand that our order may be accepted by you subject to your
investigation as to whether such proposed sale, if executed, will comply with
the Rule and policies of Bear, Xxxxxxx Securities Corp.
