REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT

This Reorganization Agreement (this "Agreement") dated as of May 20, 2004 is among Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("LMC"), Liberty Media International Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("LMINT LLC"), and Liberty Media International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

RECITALS

LMINT LLC and the Company are wholly-owned subsidiaries of LMC. The parties desire to effect the transactions set forth in this Agreement in connection with a plan to reorganize and spin off LMC's interests in certain cable television, telecommunications and other related businesses outside of the United States of America (the "International Business") in a series of transactions intended to qualify under, among other provisions, Sections 355 and 368 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which plan was adopted by LMC's Board of Directors on March 10, 2004 with the expectation that the plan would accomplish certain non-federal tax purposes germane to the business of LMC and its affiliates and the Company and its affiliates. This agreement constitutes a plan of reorganization. Pursuant to this Agreement and upon the consummation of the other transactions provided for herein, subject to regulatory approval and certain conditions, LMC intends to distribute all the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company (the "Distribution") to the holders of record on the record date for the Distribution of shares of Liberty Media Corporation Series A Common Stock (the "LMC Series A Common Stock"), and Liberty Media Corporation Series B Common Stock (the "LMC Series B Common Stock" and together with the LMC Series A Common Stock, the "LMC Common Stock").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
REORGANIZATION AND DISTRIBUTION

In accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Act"), the parties will take, or cause to be taken, all actions that are necessary or appropriate to accomplish steps numbered 6 through 42, inclusive, set forth in the Liberty Media International Restructure Plan attached hereto as Schedule 1.1 (the "Reorganization") in the order set forth therein (except for step 32, which may be done at any time before or after this Agreement is executed) as soon as practicable after the conditions thereto have been satisfied or, to the extent waivable, waived. All of the steps of the Reorganization, together with steps 1 through 5 of Schedule 1.1, which already have been completed prior to the date hereof, are intended to be part of the same plan of reorganization even though there may be delays between certain of the steps. The parties will cause any transferee of assets in the Reorganization (whether by merger, contribution, distribution or sale) to assume all liabilities and obligations of the transferor associated with the transferred assets whether arising before or after the Reorganization (except as otherwise expressly provided in the agreement effecting the transfer). As promptly as practicable after the Reorganization is completed the parties will take, or cause to be taken, all actions that are necessary or appropriate to accomplish the Distribution. All documents and instruments used to effect the Reorganization and Distribution shall be in form satisfactory to LMC and the Company and their respective legal counsel.

ARTICLE II
DISTRIBUTIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF ASSETS

Section 2.1 Distributions to LMC.

LMINT LLC hereby agrees to distribute, assign, transfer, deliver and convey to LMC and its subsidiaries, and to cause its subsidiaries to do so, as part of the Reorganization and without further consideration, the assets, subject to associated liabilities and obligations, which Schedule 1.1 contemplates will be distributed, assigned, transferred, delivered and conveyed to LMC and its subsidiaries (the "Distributed Assets"). LMC agrees to acquire, accept and receive all of the assignors' right, title and interest in and to the Distributed Assets, subject to associated liabilities and obligations.

Section 2.2 Contributions to the Company's Capital.

LMC hereby agrees to assign, transfer, deliver and convey to the Company, as a contribution to capital and without further consideration, the assets, subject to associated liabilities and obligations, which Schedule 1.1 contemplates will be contributed to the Company (collectively, the "Contributed Assets"). The Company hereby agrees to acquire, accept and receive all of LMC's right, title and interest in and to the Contributed Assets, subject to associated liabilities and obligations. The contributions to the Company's capital pursuant to this Section 2.2 are intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Section 2.3 Excess Loss Accounts

The Reorganization is being completed in part in order to eliminate any excess loss accounts that may exist with respect to direct and indirect corporate subsidiaries of the Company. To the extent any excess loss account existing as of the day prior to the Distribution Date with respect to any direct or indirect corporate subsidiary of the Company is not eliminated as a consequence of the Reorganization, the amount of the intercompany payable, if any, determined as of the day prior to the Distribution Date, that is payable by such subsidiary to the Company or to the direct or indirect parent of such subsidiary other than the Company will be deemed to have been contributed to the capital of such subsidiary as of the day prior to the Distribution Date to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess loss account, provided that (a) such contribution will be deemed to be have been made only if the company from which the deemed contribution originates (the "Contributing Parent") owns 100%, directly or indirectly, of such subsidiary, (b) no such contribution will be deemed to have been made with respect to Liberty Japan, Inc. or Liberty Jupiter, Inc. and (c) with respect to any subsidiary (a "Recipient Subsidiary") that is an indirect subsidiary of the Contributing Parent, such contribution shall be deemed to have been contributed to the direct subsidiary of the Contributing Parent that is an owner in the ownership chain of such Recipient Subsidiary and in turn by such owner to its subsidiary that is an owner in the ownership chain of such Recipient Subsidiary, successively, until a contribution in the required amount is made to such Recipient Subsidiary by the owner that is the direct stockholder of such Recipient Subsidiary, and in the case of any Recipient Subsidiary having more than one stockholder, such capital contribution will be deemed to have been made to such Recipient Subsidiary by the owners that are its stockholders in proportion to their stock ownership in such Recipient Subsidiary.

ARTICLE III
PURCHASES AND SALES

Section 3.1 Purchase of Notes and Bonds.

LMC agrees to cause its subsidiaries to assign, transfer, deliver and convey to LMC (a) the notes receivable described in step 16 of Schedule 1.1 in consideration of a promissory note issued by LMC to LSAT Techco Financing, Inc. in the principal amount of $4,089,492.97 and (b) the bonds described in step 16 of Schedule 1.1 in consideration of a promissory note issued by LMC to Liberty Satellite Brazil Bonds, Inc. in a principal amount equal to $8,198,380, which the parties agree is the fair market value of the bonds as of the date of this Agreement, each note to be in substantially the form of Exhibit A.

Section 3.2 Purchase of DTH Interests.

LMC agrees to cause Liberty Satellite, LLC to sell all of its right, title and interest in and to the beneficial interests described in step 28 of Schedule 1.1 to the purchasers set forth therein, and LMI agrees to cause its subsidiaries that are set forth therein as purchasers to purchase such right, title and interest, for the cash consideration set forth therein.

Section 3.3 Intercompany Payables.

A portion of the intercompany payable from Liberty Japan, Inc. to LMC will be converted on May 21, 2004 into a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit B pursuant to step 24 of Schedule 1.1. On the date immediately preceding the Distribution a portion of the remaining intercompany payable from Liberty Japan, Inc. to LMC in an amount equal to the amount of advances made by LMC to Liberty Japan, Inc. on or after May 22, 2004 will be converted into a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit B (such note, together with the note to be made by Liberty Japan, Inc. pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.3, the "Japan Notes") with a principal amount equal to the amount of such advances, pursuant to step 41 of Schedule 1.1. The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of the Japan Notes as and when due. Such payment is a guarantee of payment, not of collection.

ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTION OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK TO LMC STOCKHOLDERS

Section 4.1 Issuance of Company Common Stock.

Immediately prior to the Distribution the Company will issue to LMC a number of shares of Series A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Common Stock"), and a number of shares of Series B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series B Common Stock"), as in the aggregate is sufficient to effect the Distribution in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof.

Section 4.2 The Distribution.

(a) The Board of Directors of LMC (the "LMC Board") shall have the authority to (i) declare or refrain from declaring the Distribution, (ii) establish or change the record date for the Distribution (the "Record Date"), (iii) establish or change the date on which the Distribution will be effective (the "Distribution Date") and (iv) establish or change the procedures for effecting the Distribution, subject to this Agreement and the Delaware Act.

(b) On the Distribution Date, subject to the conditions to the Distribution set forth in Section 4.3, LMC shall cause to be distributed to the holders of record of LMC Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date (such holders, the "LMC Stockholders"), as a dividend, all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock (collectively, the "Company Common Stock"), on the basis of 0.05 of a share of Series A Common Stock for each share of LMC Series A Common Stock held of record on the Record Date and 0.05 of a share of Series B Common Stock for each share of LMC Series B Common Stock held of record on the Record Date.

(c) LMC will not issue fractional shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Distribution. If any LMC Stockholder otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of Company Common Stock in the Distribution, that person will instead receive cash in an amount equal to the product of the applicable fraction of a share multiplied by the average of the closing prices of the applicable series of Company Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market over the 10 trading day period beginning on the trading day on which shares of Company Common Stock begin trading in the regular way market.

Section 4.3 Conditions to the Distribution.

It shall be a condition to the occurrence of the Distribution that (a) on or before the Record Date, the LMC Board shall have taken all necessary corporate action to establish the Record Date and to declare the Distribution in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of LMC and the Delaware Act, (b) Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, special tax counsel to LMC, shall have rendered an opinion substantially to the effect that the Distribution will qualify as a tax-free spin-off under Section 355 of the Code and (c) the registration statement of the Company with respect to the registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the Company Common Stock shall have become effective, and such effectiveness shall not on the date of the Distribution be stayed or suspended.

Section 4.4 Treatment of Certain LMC Awards.

(a) Certain employees, directors and officers of LMC and its subsidiaries have been granted options to purchase shares of LMC Series A Common Stock ("LMC Options") and stock appreciation rights with respect to shares of LMC Series A Common Stock ("LMC SARs") pursuant to various stock incentive plans of LMC (the "LMC Plans").

(b) Subject to the approval of the committee of the LMC Board that administers the LMC Plans (the "LMC Plan Committee"), immediately prior to the Distribution each LMC Option held as of the Record Date by employees of the Company or of LMINT LLC (collectively, the "LMI Holders") or by persons who are directors of LMC and employees of LMC who are employed in LMC departments that are expected to provide services to the Company under the Facilities and Services Agreement (collectively, the "LMC Corporate Holders") shall be divided into two separately exercisable options: (i) an option (a "Company Option") to purchase shares of the same series of Company Common Stock as the series of LMC Common Stock for which the LMC Option is exercisable, exercisable for a number of shares of such series of Company Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of LMC Common Stock for which the applicable LMC Option originally was exercisable multiplied by 0.05, and (ii) an option (an "Adjusted LMC Option") to purchase shares of the same series of LMC Common Stock as the series of LMC Common Stock for which the LMC Option is exercisable, exercisable for the same number of shares of such series of LMC Common Stock as the corresponding LMC Option had been exercisable. The aggregate original exercise price of each LMC Option held by an LMI Holder or LMC Corporate Holder shall be allocated between the Company Option and the Adjusted LMC Option into which it is divided so that the Company Option has an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value per share (as determined by the LMC Plan Committee) of the applicable series of Company Common Stock and the balance of the aggregate original exercise price is allocated to the Adjusted LMC Option. Except as described in this Section 4.4 all other terms of the Company Option and Adjusted LMC Option shall in all material respects be the same as such original LMC Option. After the Distribution, Adjusted LMC Options and Company Options held by an LMI Holder or LMC Corporate Holder will continue to be exercisable on the same basis as his or her original LMC Options, except that employment by or service to LMC thereunder also will be deemed to include employment by or service to the Company.

(c) All other holders of outstanding LMC Options as of the Record Date will retain their LMC Options, subject to an adjustment as of the Record Date as follows:

(i) the exercise price per share of the Adjusted LMC Option shall equal the product of the original exercise price per share multiplied by a fraction of which (A) the numerator equals the difference between (1) the average of the closing prices of the applicable series of LMC Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange over the ten-trading day period ending on the last trading day preceding the Distribution Date ("LFMV"), and (2) the product of 0.05 multiplied by the fair market value per share (as determined by the LMC Plan Committee) of the corresponding series of Company Common Stock, and of which (B) the denominator equals LFMV; and

(ii) the number of shares for which the Adjusted LMC Option is exercisable shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the original exercise price per share multiplied by the number of shares for which the original LMC Option was exercisable by (B) the adjusted exercise price per share.

The terms of the outstanding LMC Options held by such holders will in all other material respects remain as they are prior to the date hereof.

(d) LMI Holders and LMC Corporate Holders who hold outstanding LMC SARs as of the Record Date will receive an adjusted LMC SAR and a Company Option relating to shares of the corresponding series of Company Common Stock in replacement of their outstanding LMC SARs. The aggregate base price of the original LMC SAR shall be allocated between the adjusted LMC SAR and the Company Option, such that the Company Option has an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value per share (as determined by the LMC Plan Committee) of the applicable series of Company Common Stock and the balance of the aggregate original base price is allocated to the adjusted LMC SAR. The number of shares of LMC Common Stock related to the adjusted LMC SAR shall be the same as the number of shares of LMC Common Stock related to the original LMC SAR. The number of shares of Company Common Stock for which the Company Option is exercisable shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of LMC Common Stock related to the original LMC SAR multiplied by 0.05. Any adjusted LMC SAR and any Company Option held by an LMI Holder or LMC Corporate Holder will continue to vest on the same basis as his or her original LMC SAR, except that employment by or service to LMC thereunder also shall be deemed to include employment by or service to the Company.

(e) Each other holder of an LMC SAR will retain his or her LMC SAR, the number of shares of LMC Common Stock and base price per share of which will be adjusted as follows:

(i) The base price per share of the adjusted LMC SAR shall equal the product of the original base price per share multiplied by a fraction of which (A) the numerator equals the difference between (1) LFMV and (2) the product of 0.05 multiplied by the fair market value per share of the corresponding series of Company Common Stock, and of which (B) the denominator equals LFMV; and

(ii) The number of shares related to the adjusted LMC SAR shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the original base price per share multiplied by the number of shares related to the original LMC SAR by (B) the adjusted base price per share.

(f) The Company will issue to each holder of an unvested LMC restricted stock award outstanding as of the Record Date, for each share of restricted LMC Common Stock awarded thereunder, an award of 0.05 of a share of the same series of Company Common Stock as the shares of LMC Common Stock to which such LMC restricted stock award relates. Except as described in this subsection (f), the Distribution will not affect the outstanding LMC restricted stock awards and the restricted stock awards relating to Company Common Stock will be subject to the same restrictions as apply to the LMC restricted stock award with respect to which the Distribution is made. Any restricted shares of LMC Common Stock and any restricted shares of Company Common Stock held by an LMC Corporate Holder or an LMI Holder will continue to vest on the same basis as his or her original restricted stock, except that employment by or service to LMC thereunder also shall be deemed to include employment by or service to the Company.

(g) From and after the Distribution LMC will have sole responsibility with respect to the LMC Options, Adjusted LMC Options, LMC SARs and LMC restricted stock, and the Company will have sole responsibility with respect to the Company Options and restricted Company Common Stock. As soon as practicable after the Distribution the Company will enter into an option agreement or restricted stock agreement, as applicable, with each holder of a Company Option or shares of restricted Company Common Stock, and LMC will amend its existing option agreement with each holder of an outstanding LMC Option and will amend its existing stock appreciation rights agreement with each holder of an LMC SAR, to reflect the adjustments described above. The Company will file a Form S-8 registration statement with respect to shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Company Options or vesting of awards of restricted Company Common Stock as soon as practicable after the Distribution.

ARTICLE VI
COVENANTS

Section 6.1 Cross-Indemnities.

(a) Each party hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the other parties hereto, their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs and other reasonable professional fees and disbursements, whether or not litigation is instituted) (collectively, "Losses") arising from or out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such party contained herein.

(b) In addition to the indemnification provided for in Section 6.1(a):

(i) the Company hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless LMC and its officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents from and against (A) any and all Losses arising from or out of or relating to the assets and businesses owned or operated by the Company and its subsidiaries on the Distribution Date (the "Company Business and Assets"), whether before or after the Distribution, and (B) any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from the ownership or operation of the business, assets or liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries following the Distribution; and

(ii) LMC hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against (A) any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from the ownership or operation by LMC, its subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors of any business or assets other than the Company Business and Assets whether before or after the Distribution, (B) any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from the ownership or operation of the business, assets or liabilities of LMC and its subsidiaries following the Distribution and (C) any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from the failure by LMC and its affiliates (other than those persons and entities which the Company or any of its subsidiaries exclusively controls) to comply with any non-competition, exclusivity or other obligation by which it continues to be bound following the Distribution with respect to any of the Company Business and Assets.

The foregoing indemnification is not intended to cover any acts or activities that constitute fraud or willful misconduct by an indemnified person or any liability or obligation the responsibility for which is expressly covered by a Reorg Agreement or other Agreement.

(c) (i) In connection with any indemnification provided for in this Section 6.1, the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee") will give the party from which indemnification is sought (the "Indemnitor") prompt notice whenever it comes to the Indemnitee's attention that the Indemnitee has suffered or incurred, or may suffer or incur, any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.1, and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim (in reasonable detail). Failure by the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnitor in any material respect.

(ii) After receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(i), the Indemnitor will be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation with respect to such claim and to employ and engage attorneys reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to handle and defend such claim, at the Indemnitor's cost, risk and expense, upon written notice to the Indemnitee of such election, which notice acknowledges the Indemnitor's obligation to provide indemnification under this Agreement. The Indemnitor will not settle any third-party claim that is the subject of indemnification without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that the Indemnitor may settle a claim without the Indemnitee's consent if such settlement (A) makes no admission or acknowledgment of liability or culpability with respect to the Indemnitee, (B) includes a complete release of the Indemnitee, and (C) does not require the Indemnitee to make any payment not covered by indemnification by the Indemnitor hereunder or forego or take any action. The Indemnitee will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitor and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of any lawsuit or action with respect to such claim and any appeal arising therefrom (including the filing in the Indemnitee's name of appropriate cross claims and counterclaims). The Indemnitee may, at its own cost, participate in any investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action controlled by the Indemnitor and any appeal arising therefrom. If there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that conflict with those available to, or that are not available to, the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee will have the right, at the expense of the Indemnitor, to engage separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor and to participate in the defense of the lawsuit or action.

(iii) If, after receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(i), the Indemnitor does not undertake to defend any such claim, the Indemnitee may, but will have no obligation to, contest any lawsuit or action with respect to such claim, and the Indemnitor will be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee may not settle any lawsuit or action with respect to which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(iv) At any time after the commencement of defense of any lawsuit or action, the Indemnitor may request the Indemnitee to agree in writing to the abandonment of such contest or to the payment or compromise by the Indemnitor of such claim, whereupon such action will be taken unless the Indemnitee determines that the contest should be continued and so notifies the Indemnitor in writing within 15 days of such request from the Indemnitor. Any request from the Indemnitor that any contest be abandoned will specify the amount that the other party or parties to the contested claim have agreed to accept in payment or compromise of the claim. If the Indemnitee determines that the contest should be continued, the Indemnitor will be liable under this Agreement only to the extent of the lesser of (A) the amount that the other party or parties to the contested claim had agreed to accept in payment or compromise as of the time the Indemnitor made its request therefor to the Indemnitee, as specified in the Indemnitor's request, or (B) the amount for which the Indemnitor may be liable with respect to such claim by reason of the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In no event shall any Indemnitor be liable to any Indemnitee for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement.

(e) The terms and conditions of this Section 6.1 will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, regardless of the reason for such expiration or termination.

Section 6.2 Further Assurances.

Each party hereto covenants and agrees to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, agreements, consents, assurances and other documents, and to take all such other commercially reasonable actions, as any other party may reasonably request and as may reasonably be required in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement and to implement the terms hereof.

Section 6.3 Specific Performance.

Each party hereby acknowledges that the benefits to the other parties of the performance by such party of its obligations under this Agreement are unique and that the other parties hereto are willing to enter into this Agreement only in reliance that such party will perform such obligations, and agrees that monetary damages may not afford an adequate remedy for any failure by such party to perform any of such obligations. Accordingly, each party hereby agrees that the other parties shall have the right to enforce the specific performance of such party's obligations hereunder and irrevocably waives any requirement for securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining by the other parties of any injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce their rights hereunder.

Section 6.4 Arbitration.

Except as provided in Section 6.3, all disputes arising under this Agreement that are not settled by the parties will be submitted to binding arbitration under the then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Denver, Colorado, or such other location agreed to by the parties. The parties to the arbitration may agree on an arbitrator; otherwise, there will be a panel of three arbitrators, one named in writing by each party within 20 days after any party serves a notice of arbitration and the third arbitrator named by the two arbitrators named by the parties. No person financially interested in this Agreement or any party may serve as an arbitrator. The costs of the arbitration and the fees of the arbitrator or arbitrators will be borne by the parties equally. The decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators will be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any Colorado court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this Section 6.4 the Company and LMINT LLC will be considered one party.
