ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS On February 27, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with RCN Corporation ("RCN") and RCN's wholly-owned subsidiary, LME Acquisition Corporation ("Merger Sub"), providing for the merger (the "Merger") of Merger Sub with and into the Company, such that immediately following the Merger, the Company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of RCN. Pursuant to the agreement, each share of Lancit common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive merger consideration in the form of a fraction of a share of RCN common stock, which fraction of a share would have a value of $1.20 (subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the agreement), based upon the average of the closing prices (last sales) of RCN common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market for the five trading days preceding the effective date of the Merger. However, if such average is less than $48, the value of the RCN common stock for purposes of the exchange would be fixed at $48, and if such average exceeds $58, such value would be fixed at $58. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including approval by the Company's shareholders and the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement of RCN. In connection with the execution and delivery of the agreement, the following agreements were executed by the parties indicated: (i) the Voting Agreement, dated as of February 27, 1998, between RCN, Merger Sub, the Company, Cecily Truett, Laurence A. Lancit and The Lancit Children's Trust; (ii) the Agreement, dated February 27, 1998, between Susan Solomon, RCN, the Company and Merger Sub; (iii)the Consulting Agreement, dated February 27, 1998, between RCN and Susan Solomon; (iv) the Waiver, dated February 27, 1998, between Cecily Truett, RCN and the Company; and (v) the Waiver, dated February 27, 1998, between Laurence A.
