The Company shall be entitled to rely exclusively and conclusively on information provided by the Malone or the Estate as to any such allocation or other matters in connection with the exercise of the rights of the Malone Group and each of its Members under this Agreement and shall not, in any event, have any liability to any Member as a result of such reliance.

        2.2   CALL RIGHT. (a) Subject to the last sentence upon Malone's death, the Company shall have the right (the "Call Right"), exercisable by action of the Independent Committee, to purchase all but not less than all of the shares of High Vote Stock beneficially owned by each Member at the time of Malone's death and all but not less than all of the shares of High Vote Stock that are then beneficially owned by any Permitted Transferee of any Member and which shares were acquired directly or indirectly from a Member or another Permitted Transferee of Member Shares in any Exempt Transfer or other transaction except a sale to a prospective Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.3(b) hereof (collectively for all Members and Permitted Transferees, the "Subject Shares"). The Company may not exercise its Call Right under this Section 2.2 unless it concurrently exercises its corresponding call right under the corresponding provisions of the Magness Call Agreement.

        (b)   The Company may exercise the Call Right, by giving written notice of such exercise (the "Company Notice") to each Member and each such Permitted Transferee, if any (collectively, the "Holder"), at any time during the period commencing on and including the date of Malone's death and ending at the Close of Business on the 50th day after the date, following Malone's death, on which any legal action that may be required to confirm the appointment of the personal representative(s) for the Estate or for the Estate to act through its personal representative(s) has been completed (such period, the "Call Period"). The date the Company Notice is given to the Holder is referred to as the "Exercise Date."

        (c)   The total consideration payable to the members of the Malone Group collectively for all of the Subject Shares (the "Gross Purchase Price") will be an amount equal to the sum of the amounts determined in accordance with the following formula for each series of High Vote Stock included in the Subject Shares: 110% of the product of the Per Share Value for such series as of the date of Malone's death, multiplied by the number of shares of such series included in the Subject Shares (such amount, as to each series, the "Series Purchase Price").

8

In calculating any Series Purchase Price or the Gross Purchase Price, the number of Subject Shares and the number of shares of any series included in the Subject Shares shall be calculated without duplication for any shares that may, by virtue of the definition of "beneficially owned," be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one Member.

        (d)   The Gross Purchase Price will be payable in cash or, as to any series of High Vote Stock included in the Subject Shares, in fully paid and nonassessable shares of Low Vote Stock of the corresponding series, or any combination of the foregoing, as the Holder may elect, subject to the rights of the Company pursuant to Section 3.1, by written notice given to the Company at least 60 days prior to the Closing Date (the "Holder Election Notice"). The Holder Election Notice shall specify as to each series of High Vote Stock included in the Subject Shares, the portion of the Series Purchase Price to be paid in Low Vote Stock of the corresponding series (such portion, as to each series of High Vote Stock, being the "Series Stock Value" and as to all series for which payment in Low Vote Stock has been elected being, in the aggregate, the "Gross Stock Value"). The Gross Purchase Price less the Gross Stock Value is herein referred to as the "Closing Date Amount". Subject to the Company's right to elect to require a public sale in accordance with Section 3, the Closing Date Amount shall be delivered to the Estate, on behalf of all Members and Permitted Transferees who held any of the Subject Shares purchased in cash on the Closing Date.

        (e)   If the Holder has timely elected in accordance with Section 2.2(d) to receive any portion of the Gross Purchase Price in shares of Low Vote Stock, the number of shares of any series of Low Vote Stock to be delivered to the Holder on the Closing Date shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series Stock Value for the corresponding series of High Vote Stock by (ii) the Per Share Value of such corresponding series of High Vote Stock. The shares to be so delivered on the Closing Date will not have been registered for sale under the Securities Act and may not be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Company will be under no obligation to register such shares for resale except as otherwise provided in a Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into by the Company and the Holder on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to which the Company shall grant to the Holder registration rights with respect to such Shares not less favorable to the Holder than any registration rights heretofore or hereafter granted by the Company to any Person and otherwise on terms customary for similar agreements (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The certificates for the shares of Low Vote Stock to be delivered to the Holder on the Closing Date shall bear a customary legend to the foregoing effect, but shall be free of any rights of the Company hereunder.

        (f)    Amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement in cash shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder, be paid by wire transfer of next day funds on or prior to the Closing Date to an account designated in writing by the Holder at least two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date.

        (g)   In the event that there are multiple Holders at the commencement of the Call Period, then the provisions of this Section 2.2 and of Section 3 shall be applied to each Holder separately, with the applicable shares of High Vote Stock beneficially owned by a Holder being the Subject Shares with respect to such Holder and each Holder being entitled to make an election pursuant to Section 2.2(d), and to have an election made by the Company with respect to it pursuant to Section 3.1, without regard to the elections made pursuant to said Sections by or with respect to the other Holders.

        2.3   ACCELERATION OF CALL RIGHT. (a) During the term of this Agreement, neither any Member nor any Permitted Transferee shall dispose of any Member Shares, except in an

9

Exempt Transfer. If any Related Party of any Member to whom such Member transfers any Member Shares in an Exempt Transfer ceases to be a Related Party of its transferor and is not then a Related Party of any other Permitted Transferee, then unless such Person shall either transfer the Member Shares held by it to a Member, a Permitted Transferee or a Related Party of either or otherwise agrees to be bound by this Agreement with respect to such Member Shares such occurrence shall be deemed to be a Disposition of the Member Shares then held by such Person giving rise to the Company's purchase right unless the requirements of the proviso in the definition of "Related Party" in Section 1.1 hereof are satisfied.

        (b)   (i) If any Member or any Permitted Transferee (as applicable, the "Transferor") receives a bona fide written offer (a "Bona Fide Offer") from a Person who is not an Affiliate of any Member or any Permitted Transferor (a "Prospective Purchaser") to purchase all or any of the Member Shares beneficially owned by the Transferor and the Transferor desires to accept the Bona Fide Offer, then prior to the acceptance of the Bona Fide Offer by the Transferor, the Call Right shall accelerate as to the Member Shares that are the subject of the Bona Fide Offer (the "Offered Shares") and the Company may exercise the Call Right in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 2.3(b).

        (ii)   The Transferor shall give written notice (the "Offer Notice") to the Company of its receipt of the Bona Fide Offer and desire to accept the same, which notice shall (A) state the identity of the Prospective Purchaser and, if the Prospective Purchaser is not its own ultimate parent within the meaning of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the identity of its ultimate parent(s) and (B) set forth all material terms of the Bona Fide Offer (including the purchase price and the method of payment thereof). If one or more members of the Magness Group exercise their right pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement to tag-along on the Bona Fide Offer, the Transferor shall set forth in the Offer Notice or in a separate written notice given at any time prior to the Closing Date the names of such exercising member(s) and the number of shares of High Vote Stock beneficially owned by each such member that such member has elected to include in the sale to the Prospective Purchaser pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement (such member's "Tag-Along Shares"). The Company shall then have the option to exercise the Call Right as to all but not less than all of the Offered Shares and the Tag-Along Shares (collectively, the "Combined Offered Shares") at the applicable price determined in accordance with the following sentence and, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 2.3, on the terms of the Bona Fide Offer (as disclosed in the Offer Notice). The price at which the Combined Offered Shares may be purchased by the Company shall be the lesser of (x) the price offered in the Bona Fide Offer and (y) an amount equal to the Gross Purchase Price, as determined in accordance with Section 2.2, that would be payable if the Combined Offered Shares were the Subject Shares (such lesser amount being, the "Company Price"). The Transferor shall enclose with the Offer Notice a true and complete copy of the Bona Fide Offer and all documents related thereto. In determining the Company Price, (i) if any portion of the price offered in the Bona Fide Offer consisted of consideration other than cash, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration shall be deemed to be equal to the amount determined by agreement of the Transferor and the Company or, failing such agreement, as determined in accordance with the procedures as set forth in Section 2.3(c); and the number of Subject Shares and the number of shares of any series included in the Subject Shares shall be calculated without duplication for any shares that may, by virtue of the definition of "beneficially owned," be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one Member.

10

        (iii)  The Company shall have the right, exercisable (if so determined by the Independent Committee) by the written notice (an "Election Notice") given to the Transferor on or before the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of the Offer Notice, to exercise the Call Right as to the Combined Offered Shares and to purchase all but not less than all of the Combined Offered Shares. If the Company duly delivers an Election Notice for the Combined Offered Shares in accordance with the foregoing procedure, it shall (subject to the Company's right to elect to pay a portion of the Company Price in debt securities in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(iv) and subject to the Company's right to elect to require a public sale in accordance with Section 3.1), purchase the Combined Offered Shares for cash, paid by wire transfer of next day funds on or prior to the Closing Date to an account designated by the Transferor in writing at least two (2) Business Days before such date. Notwithstanding the date fixed as the Closing Date in Section 4.1, the Closing Date for the purchase and sale of the Combined Offered Shares pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be subject to extension in accordance with Section 2.3(c).

        (iv)  In the event that the Company Price is the price offered in the Bona Fide Offer and any part of the price specified in the Bona Fide Offer is proposed to be paid in debt securities, the Company may, in its discretion, elect to pay the equivalent portion of the Company Price through the issuance of debt securities with substantially similar terms in an amount the fair market value of which is equal to the fair market value of the equivalent portion of the debt securities specified in the Offer Notice, in each case as agreed by the Company and the Transferor or, failing such agreement, as determined in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2.3(c), taking into consideration relevant credit factors relating to the Prospective Purchaser and the Company and the marketability and liquidity of such debt securities.

        (v)   In the event that (A) no Election Notice has been given by the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of the Offer Notice, or (B) if an Election Notice is given, the Closing has not occurred by the 61st day after the Election Notice is given (or such later date as the parties may have scheduled for the Closing or to which the Closing may have been extended pursuant to Section 2.3(c), for any reason other than a breach by the Transferor or another Member or Permitted Transferee of its obligations hereunder (the first to occur of such events being the "Free to Sell Date"), then each Person included within the Transferor shall have the right to sell all but not less than all of the Combined Offered Shares of such Person to the Prospective Purchaser at the price (or a greater price) and upon the terms (or terms no more favorable to the Prospective Purchaser) specified in the Offer Notice and, in connection with any such sale such Person shall not be required to convert any of such Offered Shares into shares of Low Vote Stock prior to the sale to such Prospective Purchaser. The right to sell Combined Offered Shares to the Prospective Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(v) shall expire and the provisions of this Section 2.3(b) shall be reinstated in the event that the Prospective Purchaser has not purchased such Combined Offered Shares within ten (10) Business Days after the Free to Sell Date.

        (c)   (i) If a Bona Fide Offer proposes to pay a portion of the price for the Offered Shares in consideration other than cash and the Company and the Transferor have not agreed upon the value thereof (or, in the case of debt securities, if the Company has elected to pay a portion of the Company Price in equivalent securities and the Company and the Transferor have not agreed upon the value of the debt securities the Company proposes to issue) by the Close of Business on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the date otherwise fixed for the Closing (the "Commencement Date") then the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3(c) shall

11

be commenced and the Closing Date shall be extended to the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the fair market value of the noncash consideration (or Company issued debt securities) has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3(c).

        (ii)   The Company and the Transferor shall each retain a Qualified Appraiser and notify the other party of its selection within five (5) Business Days of the Commencement Date to render the determination required by this Section 2.3(c). If either party fails to timely select its Qualified Appraiser then the Qualified Appraiser selected by the other party shall render such determination. The Company and the Transferor shall each be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser selected by it, unless only one Qualified Appraiser is selected in which case the Company and the Transferor shall each bear 50% of such fees and expenses. If a Third Appraiser is selected pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser will be shared equally by the Company and the Transferor.

        (iii)  The Qualified Appraisers selected by the parties shall submit their respective independent determinations of the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, Company issued debt securities), within 15 Business Days after the Commencement Date. If the respective determinations of such Qualified Appraisers vary by less than ten percent (10%), the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, Company issued debt securities) shall be the average of the two determinations.

        (iv)  If such respective determinations vary by ten percent (10%) or more, the two Appraisers shall promptly designate a third Qualified Appraiser (the "Third Appraiser"). No party to this Agreement or any Affiliate of any party to this Agreement or Qualified Appraiser shall, provide any information to the Third Appraiser as to the determinations of the initial Qualified Appraisers or otherwise influence the Third Appraiser's determination in any way. The Third Appraiser shall submit its determination of the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, Company issued debt securities), within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Third Appraiser is retained. If a Third Appraiser is retained, the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, Company issued debt securities) shall equal the average of the two closest of the three determinations, except that, if the difference between the highest and middle determinations is no more than 105% and no less than 95% of the difference between the middle and lowest determinations, then the fair market value shall equal the middle determination.

        (v)   In determining the fair market value of the noncash consideration (and, if applicable, the Company issued debt securities), each Qualified Appraiser retained pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) shall: (i) assume that the fair market value of the applicable asset is the price at which the asset would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and each having reasonable knowledge of all relevant facts; (ii) assume that the applicable asset would be sold for cash; and (iii) use valuation techniques then prevailing in the relevant industry.

        (d)   No voluntary transfers of Member Shares may be made by any Holder during the Call Period and if the Call Right is exercised, thereafter, except to the Company pursuant to the Call Right. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no voluntary transfer may be made during such period pursuant to a Bona Fide Offer, notwithstanding the Transferor's compliance with this Section 2.3 prior to Malone's death.

12

        (e)   If there shall be more than one Transferor in any transaction or series of related transactions covered by an Offer Notice, and if, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the Company pays the Company Price with more than one form of consideration, then unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Transferors, each Transferor shall receive on a per share basis substantially the same combination of consideration.

        (f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, one or more Members may, at any time and from time to time, sell a number of Member Shares that in the aggregate for all transfers made pursuant to this subsection by any or all of the Members is equal to or less than the number of Excepted Shares. Prior to the consummation of a disposition of any Member Shares in accordance with this Section 2.3(f), such Member Shares must be converted into shares of Low Vote Stock of the corresponding series. The number of any Member Shares disposed of pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) shall be subtracted from the number of Excepted Shares. Upon the consummation of a disposition of Member Shares pursuant to this Section 2.3(f), the Member disposing of such Member Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice stating the number of Member Shares so disposed of by such Member and the aggregate number of Excepted Shares which such Member continues to beneficially own.

        3.     PUBLIC SALE ELECTION.

        3.1   COMPANY ELECTION. (a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.2(d) or Section 2.3(b)(iii) to the contrary, but subject to Section 2.3(e), the Company shall have the right to pay all or any portion of the Closing Date Amount or Company Price, as applicable, in shares of Low Vote Stock in accordance with the following procedures. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall notify (the "Public Sale Notice") the Holder or each Transferor, as the case may be, as to the portion of the Closing Date Amount or Company Price, as applicable, to be paid in shares of Low Vote Stock (the "Public Sale Dollar Amount"). The number of shares of Low Vote Stock (the "Resale Stock") deliverable to the Underwriters pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be that number of shares which when sold in accordance with Section 3.2 will reasonably be expected to yield aggregate net proceeds collectively to all the Member(s), Permitted Transferee(s), Members of the Magness Group and other Persons, if any, participating in the sale (collectively, the "Seller") (after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and assuming the payment by the Company of all other expenses of registration and sale of the Resale Stock) of an aggregate amount equal to the Stock Proceeds Amount.

        (b)   The term "Stock Proceeds Amount" shall mean the sum of (i) Public Sale Dollar Amount, plus (ii) interest on the Public Sale Dollar Amount, accruing from and including the Closing Date to the date of payment pursuant to Section 3.2, at a rate equal to the weighted average interest rate applicable as of the Closing Date to that portion of the consolidated indebtedness of the Company that bears interest at a floating interest rate.

        (c)   Subject to the foregoing, the decision as to which series of Low Vote Stock and the number of shares of each such series that will comprise the Resale Stock shall be made by the Company at its discretion. Such shares shall be held by the Company on behalf of the Seller pending the Sales, and the Company shall be authorized to deliver such shares to the Underwriters on such Seller's behalf prior to the closing of the Sales.

        3.2   PUBLIC SALE. (a) On the Closing Date, the Company shall provide an effective registration statement (the "Registration Statement") registering under the Securities Act resales of the Resale Stock deliverable pursuant to Section 3.1 having a maximum aggregate offering price (net of underwriting fee and commissions) equal to the Stock Proceeds Amount. Such Resale Stock shall be sold (at the Company's discretion but in the form of one or more secondary offerings on behalf of each Seller) under the Registration Statement during the period of not more

13

than 45 days following the Closing Date as specified by the Company (the "Offering Period"). The Company may by notice to each Seller at any time shorten the Offering Period, and in such event, the Offering Period as referred to herein shall mean such shorter period. All sales (the "Sales") of the Resale Stock shall be made on behalf of each Seller by underwriters selected by the Company (the "Underwriters") pursuant to one or more block trades, underwritten offerings or otherwise, in each case as determined by the Company. The actual net proceeds from the Sales (after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions) are referred to as the "Net Proceeds". The Company shall pay all expenses of registration and sale of the Resale Stock.

        (b)   On the fifth Business Day following the termination of the Offering Period, the Company shall deliver to each Seller such Seller's pro rata portion of the Net Proceeds and if the Net Proceeds are less than the Stock Proceeds Amount, the difference (the "Difference") shall be paid by the Company in cash on such date to Sellers on a pro rata basis. The Company may elect to pay some or all of the Difference prior to such date and in such event the interest component of the portion of the Difference so paid early shall be calculated with respect to such earlier payment date. If the Net Proceeds exceed the Stock Proceeds Amount, the Company may retain the excess.

        (c)   The Company shall indemnify each Seller and the Underwriters in respect of the Sales to the same extent as the Company would indemnify the Holder and the Underwriters as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, but the Sales shall not be deemed to have been made pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

        (d)   Each Seller shall be required to cooperate with the Company in connection with the Registration Statement and the Sales (including, without limitation, by executing and delivering underwriting and other documents and instruments, taking actions and providing information) as shall be reasonably requested by the Company in connection therewith.

        4.     CLOSING MATTERS.

        4.1   CLOSING DATE. The consummation of the purchase and sale of (i) the Subject Shares following the exercise of the Call Right pursuant to Section 2.2 or (ii) the Combined Offered Shares following the exercise of the Call Right pursuant to Section 2.3 (in each case, a "Closing") shall be held at 10:00 a.m. local time on, respectively, (x) the 155th day following the Exercise Date, or (y) the 60th day following the date the Election Notice is given or (z) such other date and at such other time as the Holder or the Transferor and the Company may agree (the date on which any such Closing occurs is referred to herein as the "Closing Date").

        6.1   LIMITATION ON SIZE OF PREMIUM. (a) In connection with any proposed Sale of the Company, each Member agrees not to negotiate for or require as a term of such transaction or as a condition to his agreement to vote therefor that either (i) the holders of High Vote Stock receive for such High Vote Stock or (ii) any Member or any Related Party or Affiliate of any Member receives for the shares of High Vote Stock or Common Stock beneficially owned by any of them, consideration the value of which on a per share basis exceeds the value per share payable to (x) holders of shares of Low Vote Stock into which such High Vote Stock is convertible or (y) holders of Common Stock other than any Member or any Related Party or Affiliate of any Member, in either case by more than ten percent (10%) (a "Prohibited Premium").
