BENEFIT CALCULATION:

Your potential benefit from the UAP is based on the extent to which the CEI
stock price increases over the beginning base price, and on Cox Communications'
(CCI) Operating Cash Flow (OCF) performance over the five-year performance
period.

PERFORMANCE MEASURE:

If CCI achieves a compound annual growth in OCF of [  ]% your benefit will equal
the number of UAP units multiplied by your vested percentage, and multiplied by
the appreciation from the beginning to the ending stock prices over the
five-year performance period. This goal may be adjusted if there are significant
changes in CCI's business or operations such as acquisitions, divestitures or
other material changes. If CCI does not achieve this OCF growth, your benefit
will be reduced by 50%.


Footnotes:

(D)      Appreciation Per Unit = Current Appraisal Value - Beginning Unit Base
         Price (D=C-B)

(E)      Year-End Value = Units Granted x Appreciation Per Unit (E=A x D)

(G)      Vested Value = Year-End Value x Vested Percentage (G=E x F)

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

If you terminate employment, awards are vested and payable as shown:

Retirement/Disability/Death:               100% vested
Termination for Cause:                     No payment
Other termination:                         Normal vesting schedule

PAYMENTS FROM THE PLAN

Typically, you will receive your payment within the first quarter of the year
following the end of a five-year performance period. Your payment will be
taxable at the time you receive it.

CEI STOCK PROTECTIVE PROVISION

If there is a decrease in the CEI stock price in the last year of a five-year
performance period, the company calculates appreciation using the stock price at
the start of the five-year period and the average stock price of the last two
years of that period.
