Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.
------  -------------------------------------

        The information contained in Item 4 is incorporated herein by this
        reference.

        (a) Intel may be deemed to own beneficially an aggregate of 17,592,329
            shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 49.9% of
            the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on December 21, 2000.
            Intel owns 14,949,384 shares of Class A Common Stock and 12,207,038
            shares of Class B Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is
            convertible into Class A Common Stock at the option of Intel, to the
            extent that immediately after such conversion, Intel owns less than
            50% of the voting power of Company. Therefore, based on the
            number of securities outstanding and the plans of the Company
            with respect to the issuance of additional securities as
            contained in the most recently available filing with the
            Commission by the Company, Intel beneficially owns 2,642,945
            shares of Class A Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of
            Class B Common Stock.

        (b) Intel has sole power to vote and direct 17,592,329 shares of
            Class A Common Stock, including the shares issuable upon
            conversion of Class B Common Stock as described above.

        (c) Not applicable

        (d) Not applicable

        (e) Not applicable

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to
        Securities of the Issuer.
------  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Intel and NBA Media Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
        company ("NBAMV") have entered into a letter agreement, attached
        hereto as Exhibit A, whereby Intel has agreed, so long as NBAMV owns
        one-half of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued to NBAMV on the
        date of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
        Agreement, to vote its shares of Class A Common Stock in favor of the
        election of David Stern (or his successor as commissioner of the
        National Basketball Association) as a member of the board of directors
        of the Company.

        There are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or
        relationships between Intel and any third person with respect to any
