Notwithstanding the provisos in the immediately preceding sentence: (A) any upwards rating change shall only effect a change in the Margin to the extent of any previous change in Margin resulting from a downgrade, and (B) in the event the Purchaser Note is transferred by a Seller Party to any third party (other than a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast) the Margin shall be fixed for the remaining term of the Purchaser Note at the Margin in effect immediately prior to the transfer.

(iv) "Interest Period" means the period beginning (A) on the date of the Purchaser Note, in the case of the first Interest Period, or (B) on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period, for any subsequent Interest Period, and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the 3rd calendar month after such first day; provided that if an Interest Period would otherwise end (x) on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day and (y) after the Maturity Date, it shall end on the Maturity Date.

Purchaser Qualifying Securities is at all times during the period commencing 20 Business Days prior to the date of the Buy-Sell Procedures Agreement through the date of issuance, listed or traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on an interdealer quotation system, and during such period no action has been announced or taken or is threatened or pending to delist such class or series of common stock therefrom or to cause such class or series of common stock to not trade thereon. The number and type of Purchaser Qualifying Securities will be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 2.01. Purchase and Sale. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, (x) Seller Parties agree, jointly and severally, to (i) sell, or cause to be sold to Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary, the Seller Sale Company Securities at the Closing as provided in Section 2.02(a) and (ii) cause any Seller Subsidiary to be acquired by Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary pursuant to a 368 Reorganization to be merged with and into Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary, as applicable, as provided in Section 2.02(b) and in accordance with the terms of any applicable Subsidiary Merger Agreement and (y) Purchaser agrees to, and agrees to cause Purchaser Subsidiary to, (i) purchase and acquire from Seller Parties or any Seller Subsidiary the Seller Sale Company Securities at the Closing as provided in Section 2.02(a) and (ii) acquire from any Seller Subsidiary the Seller Merger Company Securities pursuant to a 368 Reorganization as provided in Section 2.02(b) hereof and in accordance with the terms of the Subsidiary Merger Agreement.

(b) The aggregate purchase price for the Seller Company Securities (the "Purchase Price") is the Seller Proportional Share of the Company Value. The Purchase Price shall be composed of: (i) the purchase price for the Seller Sale Company Securities (the "Non-Reorganization Purchase Price"); and

(ii) merger consideration received in any merger of a Seller Subsidiary with and into Purchaser or a Purchaser Subsidiary pursuant to a 368 Reorganization (the "Merger Consideration").

Section 2.02. Closing. (a) The closing (the "Closing") of the purchase and sale of the Seller Sale Company Securities and the consummation of any 368 Reorganization hereunder shall take place simultaneously at the offices of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, as soon as possible, but in no event later than five Business Days, after satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied and are in fact satisfied at the Closing), or at such other time or place as Purchaser and Seller Parties may agree. At the Closing:

(i) The portions of the Non-Reorganization Purchase Price to be paid in cash, Purchaser Qualifying Securities and/or Purchaser Notes will be delivered by Purchaser to Seller as follows:

(A) any Cash Consideration to be paid in respect of Seller Sale Company Securities will be paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account of Seller with a bank in New York City designated by Seller, by notice to Purchaser, which notice shall be delivered not later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or if not so designated, then by certified or official bank check payable in immediately available funds to the order of Seller in such amount);

(B) one or more certificates representing any portion of the Non-Reorganization Purchase Price to be paid in Purchaser Qualifying Securities, registered in the name of Seller or Seller's permitted assignee; and

(C) a Purchaser Note representing any portion of the Non-Reorganization Purchase Price, registered in the name of Seller or Seller's permitted assignee.

(ii) Seller Parties shall deliver to Purchaser certificates for any Seller Sale Company Securities duly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank, with any required transfer stamps affixed thereto.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.05(c), at the request of Seller Parties, Seller Parties and Purchaser agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause those Seller Subsidiaries holding Seller Company Securities immediately prior to the Closing to be acquired by Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary, pursuant to one or more transactions qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code (each a "368 Reorganization"). Each such 368 Reorganization shall be effected at the Closing utilizing a combination of one or more of the following as requested by Seller Parties (subject to Section 7.05): (i) Purchaser Qualifying Securities; (ii) cash; and (iii) Purchaser Notes. Each 368 Reorganization will be accomplished pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (each, a "Subsidiary Merger Agreement"). Each Seller Subsidiary that will be acquired by Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary pursuant to a 368 Reorganization will immediately prior to the Closing enter into a separate Subsidiary Merger Agreement with Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary, and the closing of the transactions contemplated by each such Subsidiary Merger Agreement will be consummated simultaneously with the Closing hereunder. The Merger Consideration will be delivered at the Closing to the stockholders of each Seller Subsidiary being acquired in a 368 Reorganization.

(c) If Seller Parties elect to utilize one or more 368 Reorganizations, Seller Parties will provide a notice (containing the information specified in Section 7.05(d)) to Purchaser within five Business Days after the Purchaser Notice Date, unless Purchaser has not delivered a Purchaser Notice, in which case within fifteen Business Days after the Consideration Notice Date (the "Seller Structure Notice Date"). Seller Parties will take such actions as are necessary prior to the Closing Date to cause the Seller Subsidiaries to own at the Closing the number of Seller Merger Company Securities as are specified in such notice. The allocation between Seller Company Securities to be acquired by Purchaser or

Purchaser Subsidiary in the purchase and sale transaction and Seller Company Securities to be acquired by Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary in any 368 Reorganizations, will be made by Seller Parties in accordance with Section 7.05.

Section 2.03. Adjustment to Number and Type of Purchaser Qualifying Securities. If, between the date of the Buy-Sell Procedures Agreement and the Closing Date, any change in the outstanding shares of any class of Purchaser Qualifying Securities shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, dividend (including stock dividends) or distribution, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, dividend (including stock dividends) or distribution, exchange or readjustment of shares, with a record date during such period, the number and type of Purchaser Qualifying Securities deliverable pursuant to this Agreement and any 368 Reorganization shall be appropriately adjusted.

Seller Parties jointly and severally represent and warrant to Purchaser that:

Each Seller Party has the full power and authority to (a) execute and deliver this Agreement and each Transaction Agreement to which it is a party, and (b) sell, transfer and assign to Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary all of its right, title and interest in and to all Seller Company Securities (except that so long as Seller Parties have full power and authority to so sell, transfer and assign the Subject Company Securities as of the Closing Date it shall not be a breach of this representation in the event Seller Parties do not have such full power and authority on and as of the date hereof). Each Seller Subsidiary has the full power and authority to (i) execute and deliver each Transaction Agreement to which it is a party, and (ii) sell, transfer and assign to Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary all of its right, title and interest in and to any Seller Company Securities it holds.

Section 3.02. No Consents or Approvals.

Governmental Authorities set forth in Section 3.02 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, (iii) compliance with the HSR Act to the extent applicable, (iv) such Consents as have previously been obtained, or such Filings as have previously been made, and, in each case, which are in full force and effect as of the Closing Date, or (v) those Consents required to be obtained or Filings required to be made by Purchaser, Purchaser Subsidiary or the Company in connection with the Transactions; provided, however, that the foregoing representation made with respect to Consents required by Law and Filings made or required to be made with any Governmental Authority is being provided by Seller Parties based upon applicable information provided to them by the Company.

Section 3.03. Litigation. There is no Legal Proceeding pending against either Seller Party, any Seller Subsidiary, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective properties before any Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions, and there is no provision of any Law applicable to either Seller Party, any Seller Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates and no judgment, injunction, order or decree applicable to or by which either Seller Party, any Seller Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates is bound which prohibits the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 3.04. Ownership of Company Securities; Certain Seller Subsidiary Matters. (a) Other than the Seller Company Securities owned or held by Seller Parties, any Seller Subsidiary and the Subject Holders listed in Section 3.04 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, none of Seller Parties, any of their Affiliates or any Subject Holder owns, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities (or any interest in any Company Securities).

(b) Seller Parties or the Seller Subsidiaries have (or, in the case of Subject Company Securities, have the right to acquire) good and valid title to all of the Seller Company Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Section 3.04 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, free and clear of any Lien (other than any Lien arising pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement or the Company Shareholders Agreement).

(c) Except as set forth in Section 3.04(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, the assets of the Seller Subsidiaries consist solely of (i) Seller Company Securities or (ii) shares of capital stock of a Seller Subsidiary.

Section 3.06. Brokers or Finders. No agent, broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person (any such Person, a "Broker") is or will be entitled, by reason of any agreement, act or statement by either Seller Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents, to any financial advisory, broker's, finder's or similar fee or commission, to reimbursement of expenses or to indemnification or contribution in connection with any of the negotiations leading to this Agreement or the Transactions (collectively, "Broker Fees"), other than any such Broker Fees payable solely by the Seller Parties.

Except as set forth in Section 3.07(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, (i) all material Tax returns, statements, reports and forms (including estimated tax or information returns and reports) (collectively, "Returns") required to be filed with any Taxing Authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period by or on behalf of each Proposed Merger Subsidiary, have, to the extent required to be filed on or before the date hereof or the Closing Date, as applicable (taking into account any extension of time within which to file), been filed when due in accordance with all applicable Laws; (ii) as of the time of filing, the Returns were true and complete in all material respects; and (iii) all material Taxes due and payable by each Proposed Merger Subsidiary have been timely paid, or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority.

No Seller Party nor any Seller Subsidiary has any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to any of the Purchaser Qualifying Securities or any Purchaser Note which Seller Parties or any Seller Subsidiary may receive. Seller Parties and any Seller Subsidiary understand that any Purchaser Qualifying Securities or any Purchaser Note have not been registered under the 1933 Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein;

Section 4.01. Corporate Existence and Power; Corporate Authorization. Purchaser and each Purchaser Subsidiary, if any, is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is so organized or formed. Purchaser has the full power and authority to (i) execute and deliver this Agreement and each Transaction Agreement to which it is a party, (ii) purchase, acquire and accept from each Seller Party and Seller Subsidiary all of its right, title and interest in and to the Seller Company Securities, and (iii) to the extent Purchaser Qualifying Securities and/or Purchaser Notes are to be delivered at the Closing, issue, sell and deliver such Purchaser Qualifying Securities and/or issue, make and deliver such Purchaser Notes. Each Purchaser Subsidiary has the full power and authority to (a) execute and deliver each Transaction Agreement to which it is a party, and (b) purchase, acquire and accept from each Seller Party and Seller Subsidiary all of its right, title and interest in and to the Seller Company Securities. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and by Purchaser and each Purchaser Subsidiary of each Transaction Agreement to which it is a party, and the consummation by Purchaser and each Purchaser Subsidiary of the Transactions are within Purchaser's and such Purchaser Subsidiary's corporate or limited liability company powers, as applicable, and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by

Purchaser and constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of Purchaser. Each other Transaction Agreement, when executed and delivered by Purchaser or a Purchaser Subsidiary in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly executed and delivered by it and will constitute a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of Purchaser or such Purchaser Subsidiary, as applicable.

Section 4.02. No Consents or Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions by Purchaser and any Purchaser Subsidiary, if applicable, will not require Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiary to obtain (i) any Consents under any Law or (ii) any Contract to which Purchaser, Purchaser Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates is bound or by which any of the assets or properties of Purchaser, Purchaser Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates is bound or make or file any requisite Filing with any Governmental Authority, except for (i) the filing of the certificate(s) of merger pursuant to any Subsidiary Merger Agreement(s), (ii) the Consents and Filings with Governmental Authorities set forth in Section 4.02 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, (iii) compliance with the HSR Act to the extent applicable, (iv) such Consents as have previously been obtained, or such Filings as have previously been made, and, in each case, which are in full force and effect as of the Closing Date, or (v) those Consents required to be obtained or Filings required to be made by Seller Parties, the Proposed Seller Subsidiaries or the Company in connection with the Transactions; provided, however, that the foregoing representation made with respect to Consents required by Law and Filings made or required to be made with any Governmental Authority is being provided by Purchaser based upon applicable information provided to it by the Company.

Section 4.03. Litigation. There is no Legal Proceeding pending against Purchaser, Purchaser Subsidiary, if applicable, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective properties before any Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions, and there is no provision of any Law applicable to Purchaser, the Purchaser Subsidiary, if applicable, or any of their respective Affiliates and no judgment, injunction, order or decree applicable to or by which Purchaser, the Purchaser Subsidiary, if applicable, or any of their respective Affiliates is bound which prohibits the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 4.04. Purchaser Reports and Financial Statements. The Purchaser Commission Filings constitute all of the documents (other than preliminary materials) that Purchaser was required to file with the Commission since December 31, 2001 to the date of this Agreement. As of their respective dates, each of the Purchaser Commission Filings complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under each of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, and, at the time filed, none of the Purchaser Commission Filings contained as of such date any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. When filed with the Commission, the financial statements included in the Purchaser Commission Filings were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") consistently applied (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes or schedules thereto), and such financial statements fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Purchaser and its consolidated cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, to normal, recurring year-end audit adjustments.

Section 4.05. Capital Stock. If Purchaser Qualifying Securities constitute all or a portion of the Purchase Price, the authorized capital stock of Purchaser conforms as to legal matters to the description thereof contained in (a) the Registration Statement on Form S-4 of Comcast filed on May 14, 2002, as amended or supplemented to the date hereof, in the event that any Comcast Party is Purchaser, or (b) the Registration Statement on Form 8-A, of Liberty filed on July 24, 2001, as amended or supplemented to the date hereof, in the event that Liberty is the Purchaser. If Purchaser Qualifying Securities constitute all or a portion of the Purchase Price, Section 4.05 of the Purchaser

Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and correct statement of the authorized shares of each class or series of capital stock of the Purchaser, the number of shares outstanding of each such class or series as of May 31, 2003, and the number of shares of each class or series of capital stock issuable upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of outstanding rights, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities which are exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, capital stock of Purchaser.

Section 4.06. Share Authorization; Ownership. (a) Any Purchaser Qualifying Securities have been duly authorized and, if and when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any Liens and any issuance of such Purchaser Qualifying Securities will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

(b) Purchaser will transfer and deliver to Seller Parties and Seller Subsidiaries at the Closing valid title to any and all of the Purchaser Qualifying Securities free and clear of any Lien and any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Purchaser Qualifying Securities other than restrictions arising under the Registration Rights Agreement and applicable Law).

Section 4.07. Private Placement. (a) Purchaser and any Purchaser Subsidiary are acquiring the Seller Company Securities solely for the purpose of investment for their own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in any transaction which would be in violation of the securities Laws of the United States of America or any state thereof. Neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser Subsidiary has any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any other Person with respect to any of the Seller Company Securities.

(b) Purchaser and any Purchaser Subsidiary have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment in the Company and Purchaser and any Purchaser Subsidiary are capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment.

(c) Purchaser and any Purchaser Subsidiary understand that the Seller Company Securities may not be sold, transferred to or otherwise disposed of without registration under the 1933 Act, or the availability of an exemption therefrom. Purchaser and any Purchaser Subsidiary understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Seller Company Securities delivered hereunder.

Section 4.08. Material Change. If Purchaser Qualifying Securities or a Purchaser Note constitute all or a portion of the Purchase Price, since March 31, 2003, there has not been any change, event or circumstance which, when taken individually or together with all other changes, events or circumstances since that date, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries).

Section 4.09. Brokers or Finders. No Broker is or will be entitled, by reason of any agreement, act or statement by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents, to any Broker Fees, other than any such Broker Fees payable solely by Purchaser.

Except as set forth in Section 5.18 in the Company Disclosure Schedule, the QVC Service is being distributed in accordance with the financial and other terms set forth in each such Material Carriage Agreement, and, with respect to each such Material Carriage Agreement, no event has occurred, nor has any action been taken or failed to be taken by the Company or its Affiliates, which would be reasonably likely to entitle any Distributor to change or amend the terms upon which the QVC Service is distributed or which would constitute a default under any such Material Carriage Agreement, including but not limited to, as a result of any "most favored nations" or similar provisions set forth in any Material Carriage Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the Proposed Comcast Affiliation Agreement (determined as if executed on the date of the Buy-Sell Procedures Agreement and in effect from such

The parties hereto agree that:

Section 7.01. Efforts. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations, domestic and foreign to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable with any Governmental Authority or other third party all documentation and to effect all necessary Filings, and (ii) obtaining and maintaining all Consents required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or other third party that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, including merger clearance under the EC Merger Regulation and the merger regulations, to the extent applicable, of the individual countries in Europe, Japan and any other country in which such clearance is required.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Seller Parties and Purchaser shall, (i) if required by applicable Law or regulation, make an appropriate Filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act and such Filings as are required under the EC Merger Regulation and in individual countries in Europe and in Japan with respect to the Transactions (including the acquisition of Purchaser Qualifying Securities by Seller Parties or any Seller Subsidiary) as promptly as practicable and in any event (x) with respect to Filings pursuant to the HSR Act, within

ten Business Days of the Determination Date and (y) with respect to Filings under the EC Merger Regulation and in individual countries in Europe and in Japan, within fifteen Business Days of the Determination Date, and to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested and to use, subject to Sections 7.01(c) and 7.01(d), its reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act as soon as practicable and to obtain all such other Required Governmental Consents.

(c) Each of Purchaser, Seller Parties and the Company shall, in connection with the efforts referenced in Sections 7.01(a) and (b) to obtain all Required Governmental Consents for the Transactions, use its reasonable best efforts to, subject to applicable Law: (i) cooperate in all respects with each of the other parties hereto in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a third party (including sharing copies of any such filings or submissions reasonably in advance of the filing or submission thereof); (ii) keep each of the other parties hereto informed of any communication received by any such party from, or, subject to compliance with the requirement to offer the other parties prior review of such communications, given by such party to any Governmental Authority, including the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the "DOJ"), and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a third party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions; and (iii) permit each of the other parties hereto to review in advance any communication intended to be given by it to, and consult with the other parties in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any such other Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a third party, with any other Person, and to the extent requested by Purchaser or Seller Parties, and permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Authority or other Person, give the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; provided, however, that without the prior consent of Purchaser, with respect to the obtaining of Consents sought or Filings made in connection with Purchaser's acquisition of Seller Company Securities or the registration under the 1933 Act of Purchaser Qualifying Securities, or Seller Parties, with respect to any acquisition by Seller Parties of Purchaser Qualifying Securities, the Company shall not, and none of Purchaser or any Seller Party, as applicable, shall, contact or communicate with (other than communications which are not material with respect to the obtaining of any such consent) any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions unless it has first provided the other parties with notice thereof and the right to review and reasonably comment upon any proposed communication or the opportunity to attend (including by teleconference) any discussions with such Governmental Authority, as applicable. Each of Purchaser, Seller Parties and the Company hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate with the others in the making of any Filings under this Section 7.01(c), including the provision of any additional or supplementary information required or requested by the applicable Governmental Authority, including the European Commission, in connection with the obtaining of such Required Governmental Consent or the causing of the expiration or termination of any waiting periods under the HSR Act. Each of the Company and Seller Parties will be given the opportunity to review such portions of the submissions to the European Commission which (A) reference or are otherwise relevant to Seller Parties or the Company, as applicable, and its consummation of the Transactions and (B) are not of a confidential or proprietary nature to Purchaser, prior to the filing or submission of the same; it being understood that if Seller Parties or the Company, as applicable, intends to comment, it will do so promptly. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7.04, this Agreement and the contents hereof may be provided to the European Commission (and, if required by Law, made publicly available).

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 7.01(a), (b) and (c), if any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under the HSR Act, or if any suit is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority or any third party challenging any of the Transactions, or which would

otherwise prohibit or materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions, each of Purchaser, Seller Parties and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or suits so as to permit consummation of the Transactions. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to take any and all action necessary to resolve such objections or suits, including agreeing to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct its business in a manner which would resolve such objections or suits or permitting the sale, holding separate or other disposition of, any of its assets or the assets of its Subsidiaries or the conducting of its business in a manner which would resolve such objections or suits; provided, however, that if Liberty is Purchaser, nothing in this Agreement shall require Purchaser or any of Purchaser's Subsidiaries or Affiliates to take any action requiring, or enter into any settlement, undertaking, consent decree, stipulation or other agreement with a Governmental Authority that requires, Purchaser to (i) hold separate (including by establishing a trust or otherwise) or sell or otherwise dispose of any assets, businesses or interests of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries having a fair market value in excess of 5% of Purchaser's Market Capitalization or (ii) if Liberty is Purchaser, (x) hold separate (including by establishing a trust or otherwise) or sell or otherwise dispose of any shares (or any interests in any shares) of InterActiveCorp (f/k/a USA Interactive) it owns, holds or has the right to acquire or (y) cause InterActiveCorp to take any action with respect to its interests in, or the operation of, its electronic retailing business.

(e) Subject to the obligations under and limitations of Section 7.01(d), in the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or third party challenging the Transactions, each of Purchaser, Seller Parties and the Company shall cooperate in all respects with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to defend, contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions. For purposes of this Section 7.01, the term "Transactions" will be deemed to include the purchase of the Defaulting Purchaser's Company Securities by Seller Parties as contemplated by Section 10.02(b) or (d), and as a result, if Seller Parties so elect, the parties will, concurrently with or promptly following the corresponding Filing made under this Section 7.01 and in addition to the Required Governmental Consents being sought and Filings made with respect to Purchaser's acquisition of Seller Company Securities, also seek to obtain all Governmental Consents and make all Filings required to be made to consummate Seller Parties' acquisition of the Defaulting Purchaser's Company Securities pursuant to Section 10.02(b) or (d).

(f) The Company and Seller Parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser will lead the process relating to obtaining the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the other Required Governmental Consents, and the Purchaser will, following consultation with Seller Parties and the Company as to material regulatory matters, have primary responsibility regarding the approach to obtaining such expiration or termination and such Required Governmental Consents.

Section 7.02. Certain Filings. The parties shall cooperate with one another (i) in determining whether any Filing with any Governmental Authority is required, or any Consents are required to be obtained from parties to any Material Contracts, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) in taking such actions or making any such Filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking timely to obtain any such Consents.

Section 7.03. Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the Transactions.

Section 7.04. Public Announcements. Purchaser and Seller Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the issuance of mutually acceptable press releases to be issued on or promptly after the Determination Date announcing the Transactions. Each of Purchaser and Seller Parties agrees not to, and to cause each of their respective Affiliates not to, and will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to, issue, or cause or permit to be issued, any press release or other public statement regarding this Agreement or the Transactions without consulting with the other parties prior to making such release or statement, except, if, in the reasonable judgment of the party seeking to disclose, such release or statement is required by applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of the Commission) or by any securities exchange or association on which such Person's securities are listed or traded (including pursuant to any listing agreement), in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement (so as to confirm the accuracy of any statements therein regarding such other party, among other things) and thereafter the party required to make the release or announcement is permitted to make such release or announcement.

Section 7.05. Determination of Purchase Price Components. (a) Within five Business Days after the Determination Date, Purchaser will notify Seller Parties as to its election as to the form(s) of consideration to be used in payment of the Purchase Price (such notice, the "Consideration Notice" and such date of delivery, the "Consideration Notice Date"), and, subject to Section 7.05(c) below, the proportion of the Purchase Price to be paid in each such form of consideration.

(b) Purchaser shall have the right to pay the Purchase Price in (at its election, but subject to paragraph (c) below) one or more of the following: (i) cash; (ii) one or more Purchaser Notes; or (iii) Purchaser Qualifying Securities which, when multiplied by the Average Market Price, have an aggregate value equal to the Purchase Price, or applicable portion of the Purchase Price, as the case may be, provided that if Liberty is the Purchaser, it shall not be permitted to issue Purchaser Qualifying Securities to the extent that such stock would represent more than 7.5% of the outstanding common stock of all classes and series of common stock of Purchaser (after giving effect to such issuance).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 7.05(b), Seller Parties may within five Business Days of the Consideration Notice Date notify Purchaser that Seller Parties are requiring payment of the Purchase Price or a portion of the Purchase Price in Purchaser Qualifying Securities (the "Seller Notice" and such date the "Seller Notice Date") having an aggregate value (when multiplied by the Average Market Price) equal to the Purchase Price or applicable portion of the Purchase Price, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the Seller Parties' election to require delivery of Purchaser Qualifying Securities, Purchaser shall not be obligated to issue Purchaser Qualifying Securities to the extent that Purchaser delivers a notice to Seller Parties (the "Purchaser Notice" and such date the "Purchaser Notice Date") within five Business Days of the Seller Notice Date that the Purchaser Qualifying Securities to be issued would represent (after giving effect to such issuance) more than 4.9% of the outstanding common stock (of all classes and series) of Purchaser or more than 4.9% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Purchaser's common stock entitled to vote in the election of directors in each case based upon the number of shares of common stock (of all classes and series) of Purchaser outstanding on February 28, 2003, such number of outstanding shares to be adjusted to

reflect the number of shares of common stock (of all classes and series) issued by Purchaser (including by stock split, stock dividend or similar event) from such date to the Closing Date. To the extent that Purchaser Qualifying Securities having an aggregate value (when multiplied by the Average Market Price) less than the Purchase Price are to be delivered to Seller Parties and the Seller Subsidiaries, Purchaser shall deliver the balance of the Purchase Price in (at Purchaser's election) one or more of the following: (i) cash or (ii) a Purchaser Note, as Purchaser shall notify Seller Parties in the Purchaser Notice.

(d) In the event that Seller Parties wish to utilize one or more 368 Reorganizations as contemplated by Section 2.02(b), then Seller Parties will notify Purchaser of such intention on the Seller Structure Notice Date. Such notice to Purchaser shall specify (i) which of the Proposed Merger Subsidiaries (the "Designated Subsidiaries") shall be merged with and into Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary in separate mergers in the manner set forth in the Subsidiary Merger Agreement, (ii) the number of Company Securities held by each Designated Subsidiary, (iii) the portion of the Purchase Price to be Merger Consideration in each 368 Reorganization and (iv) the form of the Merger Consideration in each 368 Reorganization as contemplated by Section 2.02(b). In the event that, (A) on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Closing Price of the Purchaser Qualifying Securities on such day is less than the Average Market Price of such Purchaser Qualifying Securities, (B) the combination of cash, Purchaser Qualifying Securities and/or Purchaser Notes to be delivered as Merger Consideration in any 368 Reorganization as initially determined by Seller Parties on the Seller Structure Notice Date could reasonably be expected, in the reasonable judgment of Seller Parties, to result in such 368 Reorganization failing to qualify as a Tax-free reorganization (as a result of the change in the value of the Purchaser Qualifying Securities to be delivered in such 368 Reorganization referred to in clause (A) of this sentence), and (C) Seller Parties have received advice from their outside tax counsel to such effect, then Seller Parties will have the right, subject to Section 7.05(e), to (x) change which Proposed Merger Subsidiaries will be Designated Subsidiaries and are to be merged with and into Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary in separate mergers in the manner set forth in the Subsidiary Merger Agreement, (y) change the portion of the Purchase Price to be Merger Consideration in each 368 Reorganization and change the portion of the Purchase Price that constitutes the Non-Reorganization Purchase Price, and (z) change the form of the Merger Consideration in each 368 Reorganization as contemplated by Section 2.02(b).

(e) No reallocation permitted pursuant to Section 7.05(d) will change (i) the aggregate number of Purchaser Qualifying Securities to be issued thereunder as part of the Purchase Price; (ii) the aggregate principal amount or face amount of the Purchaser Notes to be delivered as part of the Purchase Price and (iii) the total amount of cash to be paid as part of the Purchase Price. If, after giving effect to any reallocation permitted pursuant to Section 7.05(d), the aggregate value of the Purchaser Qualifying Securities (determined by using the Closing Price of such Purchaser Qualifying Securities on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date) to be delivered in any 368 Reorganization is less than 38% of the sum of (x) the aggregate value of the Purchaser Qualifying Securities (determined by using the Closing Price of such Purchaser Qualifying Securities on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date) to be delivered in such 368 Reorganization, plus (y) the total amount of cash to be delivered in such 368 Reorganization, plus (z) the aggregate principal amount for federal income tax purposes of all Purchaser Notes to be delivered in such 368 Reorganization, then (i) such 368 Reorganization shall not be consummated, (ii) the Seller Merger Company Securities held by the Designated Subsidiary that would have been acquired by Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary pursuant to such 368 Reorganization shall instead be considered Seller Sale Company Securities subject to purchase under Section 2.01(a) and the consideration received for such Seller Sale Company Securities shall be considered part of the Non-Reorganization Purchase Price, (iii) the representations and warranties of Seller Parties in Section 3.07 shall be deemed terminated and such representations shall not be applicable to the determination of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03(ii), in each case with respect to any Proposed Merger Subsidiary which will now not be a party in a 368

Reorganization, and (iv) the closing of the purchase of such Seller Sale Company Securities shall take place as provided in Section 2.02(a) hereof.

(iii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the parties and any of their Subsidiaries but not listed on any of the disclosure schedules to this Agreement, as the case may be, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 3.03, Section 4.03 and Section 5.11, as the case may be, or that relate to the consummation of the Transactions; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transactions (including any materials, opinions or analyses relating to such tax treatment or tax structure, but without disclosure of identifying information or, except to the extent relating to such tax structure or tax treatment, any nonpublic commercial or financial information). Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, there shall be no limitation on each party's ability to consult any tax adviser, whether or not independent from such party or its Affiliates, regarding the tax treatment or tax structure of the Transactions.

Section 7.08. Termination of Certain Arrangements. (a) Immediately prior to the Closing, Purchaser may require that those Contracts between the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller Parties or their respective Affiliates or Associates (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, designated by Purchaser in writing prior to the Closing (other than (x) the Proposed Comcast Affiliation Agreement, (y) Items 1, 2 and 3 set forth in Section 7.08 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (of Comcast Parties as Seller Parties) or Section 7.08 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule (of Comcast Parties as Purchasers), which shall be terminable in accordance with their respective terms, and (z) Items 4, 5 and 6 set forth in Section 7.08 of the Seller Disclosure

With respect to any Contracts among the Company or its Subsidiaries, Seller Parties or their respective Affiliates or Associates (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries) and any third parties which are not Affiliates or Associates of Seller Parties or Affiliates of the Company, the parties will use reasonable efforts to cause such Contracts as are designated by Purchaser in writing prior to the Closing to be terminated as to the Company without incurring liability with respect to such third party as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing (other than the payment of amounts accrued or payable with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date). In addition, (i) any Debt of Seller Parties or their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) (including Debt of any present or former (since February 15, 1995) director, officer or employee (or any relative, spouse, beneficiary or Affiliate of such Person) of Seller Parties or their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries)) to the Company or its Subsidiaries, will become due and payable in full on the Closing Date, and Seller Parties will pay or cause to be paid all amounts outstanding thereunder at the Closing, and (ii) if Comcast Parties are Seller Parties, any Debt or other payment obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries to Seller Parties or their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), other than (A) any commissions, fees and other amounts payable under the terms of any Contract or arrangement listed in Section 11.02(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, provided the amounts paid are consistent with past practice or (B) any amounts paid or prepaid on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business for goods or services used by the Company or its Subsidiaries, will be cancelled in full on the Closing Date, and the Company and its Subsidiaries will have no further payment obligations with respect thereto and (iii) if Liberty is the Purchaser, Liberty shall cause QK Holdings, Inc., as the managing member of Interactive Technology Holdings, LLC ("ITH"), to approve an annual budget for ITH pursuant to the ITH Term Sheet dated as of April 1, 2000 (the "Term Sheet") that provides for the payment to the Service Company, as defined in the Term Sheet, of an amount at least equal to the salary and other benefits, including any post-termination payments or benefits, due to the Person listed on Section 1.01 to the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Concurrently with the Closing, the parties will cause the Stockholders Agreement to immediately terminate; provided, however, that such termination will not release any party to the Stockholders Agreement from any obligations or liabilities arising prior to such termination as a result of such party's breach of any covenant or other provision contained therein.

Section 7.09. Registration Statement. Concurrently with the final determination (pursuant to Section 7.05 hereof) of the number and type of Purchaser Qualifying Securities and the principal or face amount of any Purchaser Note(s) to be issued at the Closing, Purchaser and Seller Parties will execute and deliver the Registration Rights Agreement and Purchaser will, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") registering under the 1933 Act the resale by the Seller Parties of the Purchaser Qualifying Securities and/or Purchaser Note(s) to be received by Comcast QVC hereunder and (b) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective simultaneous with the Closing.

Section 7.10. Company Options. Prior to the Closing, Seller Parties will, or will cause a Seller Subsidiary to, cause each Subject Holder to assign, transfer and deliver to any Seller Party or Seller Subsidiary all of such Subject Holder's right, title and interest in and to all Company Options owned or held by such Subject Holder (such Company Options, the "Subject Company Options"). Each of Purchaser and the Company agrees to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to facilitate such Seller Party's or a Seller Subsidiary's timely acquisition of all

Subject Company Options. In furtherance of, and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Purchaser and the Company hereby waives or shall cause to be waived any rights it might have under any Contract which would prevent or delay the transfer of Subject Company Options from each Subject Holder to a Seller Party or a Seller Subsidiary. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company and Seller Parties will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to cause all Seller Company Securities which are Company Options (including those acquired by Seller pursuant to this Section 7.10) to be cancelled and cease to be exercisable, and for purposes of all determinations made in accordance with Section 2.01, all such Seller Company Securities which are Company Options will be deemed to have been cancelled without having been exercised.

Section 7.11. Subject Holder Shares. Prior to the Closing, Seller Parties will, or will cause a Seller Subsidiary to, acquire from each Subject Holder which owns or holds Common Stock, all shares of Common Stock owned or held by such Subject Holder, which shares of Common Stock will be included in the Seller Company Securities. Each of Purchaser and the Company agrees to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to facilitate Seller Parties' or a Seller Subsidiary's timely acquisition of all shares of Common Stock owned or held by each Subject Holder. In furtherance, and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Purchaser and the Company hereby waives or shall cause to be waived any rights it might have under any Contract which would prevent or delay the transfer of such shares of Common Stock from each Subject Holder to a Seller Party or a Seller Subsidiary.

Section 7.12. Shareholder Approval of Certain Payments. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to submit to the holders of Common Stock for approval any benefits or payments, as set forth on Section 7.12 to the Company Disclosure Schedule, arising out of or in connection with the Transactions which could reasonably be deemed to constitute "parachute payments" pursuant to Section 280G of the Code, which approval shall be made in accordance with the shareholder approval requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code.

Section 7.13. Non-Solicitation. From the period beginning on the date hereof through the Termination Date or, if later, the second anniversary of the Closing Date or the closing of the transactions contemplated by Sections 10.02(d) or (e), Seller Parties will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who is a member of senior management of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The foregoing shall not prohibit general solicitations for employment in newspapers, trade journals and similar general circulation media, so long as such general solicitation materials are not directed specifically to such covered Persons.

(b) In the case of a third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any third party claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding unless the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time after the giving of notice of such indemnity claim by the Indemnified Party shall: (i) deliver a written confirmation to such Indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Section 9.02 are applicable to such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding and that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify such Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, action or proceeding pursuant to the terms of Section 9.02, (ii) notify such Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party's intention to assume the defense thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding.

such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such action for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless the Indemnifying Party shall have failed, after reasonable notice thereof, to undertake control of such action in the manner provided above in this Section 9.03 to the extent the Indemnifying Party was entitled to do so pursuant to this Section 9.03. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the consent of such Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding (x) in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is or may be sought against such Indemnified Party, or (y) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, party conducting such investigation, plaintiff or petitioner to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

If the D&O Insurance expires, is terminated or is canceled during such six-year period, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance covering such acts or omissions with respect to each such Person on terms and at limits no less favorable to the Company's directors and officers covered by such D&O Insurance in effect immediately prior to the date of such expiration, termination or cancellation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor Purchaser shall be required to pay an annual premium for any directors' and officers' liability insurance in excess of 100% of the amount per annum the Company paid during the calendar year 2002, the true and correct amount of which was disclosed to Liberty by the Company in writing prior to the date of the Buy-Sell Procedures Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, the Company and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to make any reasonable arrangements necessary to obtain or continue such directors' and officers' liability insurance for such six-year period.

ARTICLE 10
TERMINATION; OTHER REMEDIES

Section 10.01. Grounds for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Seller Parties and Purchaser;

(b) by Seller Parties:

(i) if there has been a material misrepresentation or breach of covenant or other obligation hereunder on the part of Purchaser which misrepresentation or breach would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.02 to be satisfied, and is either incurable or, if curable, is not cured within 30 days of the date notice of such misrepresentation or breach is received by Purchaser; or

(ii) at any time after the six month anniversary of the Determination Date (the "Seller Termination Date"), provided, that, in the event that at such date the only condition to Purchaser's obligation to close (which is capable of being satisfied prior to the Closing) which remains unsatisfied is the receipt of a Required Governmental Consent, and Purchaser is continuing to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Required Governmental Consent and reasonably believes that such Required Governmental Consent may be obtained, by notice to any Seller Party the Purchaser may extend the Seller Termination Date for an additional period not to exceed 60 days following the expiration of such six month period;

(i) if there has been a material misrepresentation or breach of covenant or other obligation hereunder on the part of any Seller Party which misrepresentation or breach would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.03 to be satisfied, and is either incurable or, if curable, is not cured within 30 days of the date notice of such misrepresentation or breach is received by any Seller Party;

(ii) if there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect; or

(iii) the 15^th Business Day following the date (and any extension thereof) on which Seller Parties become entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(ii), if Seller

Parties have not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(b) or exercised its purchase right pursuant to Section 10.02(b) or 10.02(d);

provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement shall not be available to any party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth herein, resulted in, or has been a substantial cause of, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date. The party terminating this Agreement pursuant to clauses 10.01(b) or 10.01(c), shall give notice of such termination to the other party.

Section 10.02. Effect of Termination; Other Remedies. (a) If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 10.01, this Agreement shall be void and the parties will cease to have any obligations to one another under this Agreement, except as provided in this Section 10.02, and such termination shall be without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of any party) to any other party to this Agreement, except with respect to any claims for Damages or equitable relief that a party may have as a result of another party's breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties will continue to be bound by the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, as the Stockholders Agreement was in effect immediately prior to Liberty's delivery of the Exit Notice (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) to CHC, and Liberty shall not be deemed to have delivered an Exit Notice to CHC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended to provide (and each of Comcast and Liberty will cause those of its Subsidiaries which are parties to or otherwise bound by the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, to enter into an amendment providing) that Liberty's right to exercise its exit rights in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Stockholders Agreement shall be in effect during the 60-day period subsequent to the later of (i) March 31, 2005 and (ii) the date Liberty receives the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the "Subsequent Exit Right"). If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 10.01 and Liberty becomes entitled to a Subsequent Exit Right, Comcast covenants and agrees (x) to cause the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and the related audited consolidated statements of income and cash flow for such fiscal year, to be delivered to Liberty no later than April 15, 2005, and (y) that neither Comcast nor any of its Affiliates will take any action or deliver any notice with respect to, or requesting, requiring or demanding the renegotiation or the amendment or modification of any terms or provisions of any Comcast Agreement (as defined in the Buy-Sell Procedures Agreement) or termination of any Comcast Agreement, except for (i) actions which Comcast or any of its Affiliates are permitted to take pursuant to the "most favored nations" or "better terms" provisions of the Comcast Agreements, but solely with respect to "better terms" or more favorable terms granted by the Company to any Distributor (other than Comcast and its Affiliates) after the date hereof other than in situations where such Distributor became entitled to better or more favorable terms as a result of or based upon the presence of any such term or provision in any Carriage Agreement in effect on the date hereof or the Subsequent Proposed Affiliation Agreement or the execution and delivery of the Subsequent Proposed Affiliation Agreement. If Liberty exercises the Subsequent Exit Right, (i) such Subsequent Exit Right shall be governed by the procedures set forth in the Buy-Sell Procedures Agreement, except that (x) in the event the exercise of the Subsequent Exit Right does not result in the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such stock purchase agreement, the parties agree to proceed pursuant to Section 9.6 of the Stockholders Agreement (as in effect prior to February 28, 2003); provided that during the period from the date of termination of any stock purchase agreement entered into in connection with the exercise of the Subsequent Exit Right to a sale of the Company pursuant to Section 9.6 of the Stockholders Agreement, the Company shall continue to be managed by Comcast in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement (as amended hereby or by or pursuant to the Buy-Sell Procedures Agreement and a Management Transfer Event (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) shall be deemed not to have occurred and (y) the provisions of Section 9.8 of the Stockholders Agreement shall be applicable to the transactions related to such Subsequent Exit Right; and (ii) the parties agree that, upon the

closing of the sale of the Comcast Group's Company Securities pursuant to Liberty's exercise of the Subsequent Exit Right, the Company and Comcast will execute and deliver the Subsequent Proposed Affiliation Agreement. In connection with any purchase and sale pursuant to such Subsequent Exit Right, the parties agree that the stock purchase agreement to be utilized in connection therewith shall be substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement including all Exhibits, Schedules, Attachments and Appendices, subject to reasonable modifications and changes necessary to reflect the structure of any such transaction and update the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.

(b) If Seller Parties are entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01(b)(i) (in such event Purchaser is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Defaulting Purchaser"), then Seller Parties will be entitled to purchase all of the Defaulting Purchaser's Company Securities for aggregate consideration equal to the Defaulting Purchaser's Proportional Share of 75% of the Company Value (the "Default Purchase Price").
