(I) Statement. Pursuant to Section 10.6 of the Prime Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to have two persons designated by the Prime Sellers (who agreed to be bound by the terms of the New Voting Agreement) to serve on the duly elected Company Board. As described in Item 2 of this Statement, the Voting Group entered into the New Voting Agreement on October 31, 1996 (replacing the Voting Agreement) whereby the parties thereto agreed to vote all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New Voting Agreement for certain nominees to the Company Board and on other such matters as further described in this Item 6. The New Voting Agreement provides that the Parties will, to the extent possible, cause the full membership of the Company Board to be maintained at not less than eight directors. The New Voting Agreement provides that all of the shares subject to the agreement will be voted as one block for so long as the full membership on the Company Board is at least eight and will be voted for the election to the Company Board of individuals recommended by the Parties to the agreement. The allocation of recommendations for positions on the Company Board made by parties to the New Voting Agreement is as follows: (1) for recommendations from MCI, two nominees; (2) for recommendations from Messrs.

If neither of these conditions pertaining to the Prime Group are met, the Prime Group is not to be entitled to recommend any nominee pursuant to the terms of the New Voting Agreement. The shares of the Class A and Class B Common Stock subject to the New Voting Agreement are to be voted as one block, to the extent possible, to cause the full membership of the Company Board to be maintained at not less than eight members.

The stated term of the New Voting Agreement is through the completion of the annual shareholder meeting of the Company to take place in June, 2001 or until there remains only one party to the agreement, whichever occurs first. However, the parties to the New Voting Agreement may extend its term but only upon unanimous vote and written amendment to the agreement. A Party to the New Voting Agreement (other than a member of the Prime Group and their distributees who elect in writing to be bound thereby) will be subject to the Agreement until that Party disposes of more than 25% of the votes represented by that Party's holdings of Company common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the New Voting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party to the New Voting Agreement must remain a party as to voting for nominees to the Company Board recommended by the Prime Group and to maintain at least eight members of that board only for so long as either the Prime Group (and their distributees who agree in writing to be bound by the terms of the agreement) collectively own at least 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or the Prime Management Agreement is in effect and the Prime Group will thereafter present their nominees for two positions on the Company Board. The New Voting Agreement commenced effectiveness as of the Event Date. With the execution of the New Voting Agreement, it is contemplated that the Company Board will take such action as necessary to cause its size to increase from the present seven to nine members, and the portion of the Prime Sellers who are Parties, i.e., the Prime Group, will thereafter present its nominees for two positions on the Company Board through its designated agent, PIIM. The New Voting Agreement replaces the previous voting agreement ("Voting Agreement") between the following parties: (1) MCI; (2) TCI; (3) Mr. Duncan; and (4) Mr. Walp. Under the terms of the Prime Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed that upon closing on the Prime Purchase Agreement, the Voting Agreement would be terminated and replaced by the New Voting Agreement.
