Explanation of Responses:
1. Each share of Class B common stock of Insight Communications Company, Inc. (the "Issuer") is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock of the Issuer upon the occurrence of certain events that are specified in the Issuer's Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
2. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2005, among the Issuer, Insight Acquisition Corp. ("Acquisition") and the other parties signatory thereto, as amended (the "Exchange Agreement"), the reporting person purchased preferred stock of the Issuer at par value, or $0.01 per share.
3. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the reporting person contributed shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer to Acquisition in exchange for a corresponding number of shares of Series C non-voting preferred stock of Acquisition which, in the merger described in note (4), were automatically converted into shares of Series C non-voting preferred stock of the surviving corporation.
4. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 28, 2005, between the Issuer and Acquisition, which agreement was approved and adopted by the Issuer's shareholders on December 16, 2005 (the "Merger Agreement"), the Issuer was merged with Acquisition, with the Issuer as the surviving corporation and each share of Class A common stock of the Issuer not contributed to Acquisition pursuant to the Exchange Agreement or for which appraisal rights had been perfected under Delaware law was converted into the right to receive $11.75 in cash.
5. The deferred stock units provide for vesting in five equal installments beginning November 15, 2004. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the deferred stock units to acquire Class A common stock of the Issuer were adjusted so that the reporting person will receive upon settlement one share of Series C non-voting preferred stock of the surviving corporation for each deferred share of Class A common stock of the Issuer.
6. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the merger, shares of preferred stock of the Issuer were automatically converted into shares of Series A voting preferred stock of the surviving corporation.
7. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, such option, whether vested or unvested, was canceled and the reporting person was entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the excess of $11.75 over the per share exercise price of such option for each share of Class A common stock covered by such option.
8. This option provided for vesting in five equal installments beginning July 31, 2003.
9. This option provided for vesting in five equal installments beginning June 14, 2005.
10. This option provided for vesting in five equal installments beginning August 6, 2005.
