                  foregoing, the parties agree that (1) StarBand's rights in
                  Chile are subject to Gilat's obligations to Comunicacion y
                  Telefonia Rural S.A., Servicios Rural S.A., Servicios Rurales
                  de Telecomuncaciones S.A., CTR Holdings Ltd. and Rural
                  Telecomunications Chile S.A.; and (2) in Mexico, StarBand
                  shall receive the non-exclusive right to operate the Business
                  with respect to small office and home office subscribers,
                  through a channel which is any large, well-established
                  corporation that (x) will commit to sell at least 100 VSAT
                  sites regardless of the number of VSAT's located at an
                  individual home or office, and (y) will be centrally billed by
                  StarBand, but that is not (A) an Internet Service Provider, or
                  (B) a provider of access to broadband Internet services or
                  voice services at a residence through an arrangement whereby
                  it would be reasonably likely that payment or other commercial
                  benefit will be paid to it for such access. The rights granted
                  herein shall in each case be subject to the terms of the
                  non-compete provisions set forth in Attachment C hereto.
                  Subject to the foregoing exceptions, Gilat agrees not to
                  directly or indirectly appoint another entity to provide, or
                  itself provide, the Gilat Products & Services, or operate the
                  Business in the Territory.

                  Gilat undertakes to use its best commercial efforts to
                  maintain price and technological competitiveness of the Gilat
                  Products & Services and the other products and services to be
                  provided by Gilat hereunder for use by the Business in the
                  Territory.

                  So long as the Gilat Products & Services remain competitive
                  with respect to their pricing and technological
                  competitiveness and Gilat meets its delivery and support
                  obligations, StarBand undertakes to purchase the Gilat
                  Products & Services and any equipment and services performing
                  similar functionality in the future, solely from Gilat.

         (b)      Products and Services to be provided by Gilat. Gilat, directly
                  or through GTHLA, GTHLA Holland or other of its affiliates (in
                  this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise, any
                  reference to Gilat shall mean Gilat or any of GTHLA, GTHLA
                  Holland or Gilat's other affiliates, as directed by Gilat),
                  will provide StarBand with telecommunications equipment
                  ("Equipment") and licensed software ("Software") (together
                  referred to as the "Gilat Products & Services") for use at
                  StarBand designated consumer, SOHO, SME and public call
                  offices locations (each such location herein defined as a
                  "Site"). Gilat shall also provide to StarBand all new products
                  and technological developments to the extent related to the
                  Business as such products and technology are provided to
                  StarBand Communications Inc. The parties will also, from time
                  to time, upon mutual agreement, add technical specifications
                  to Attachment A regarding the Gilat Products & Services. The
                  parties agree that any support, bug fixes and updates to the
                  Gilat Products & Services shall be provided to StarBand
                  without any charge and at the same time as they are provided
                  to other Gilat customers. The parties further agree that the
                  price paid by StarBand for upgrades to the Gilat Products &
                  Services shall be determined in the following manner: (i) if
                  the upgrades relate to the Gilat Products and Services
                  provided by Gilat to any other customer, then the

                  competitive pricing.

         (c)      IT provided by Gilat to StarBand. To facilitate StarBand's

         (b)      Subject to the provisions of Attachment C, Gilat hereby grants
                  to StarBand (including a right to sublicense to its customers,
                  distributors and resellers) and StarBand accepts a
                  non-exclusive license to use or have used the Software
                  residing in Gilat-provided Equipment, but only for the purpose
                  of causing such Equipment to operate for the provision of
                  two-way transmission services and not otherwise. StarBand
                  shall not itself and will use its best commercial efforts to
                  not permit any third party to gain access to the Software or
                  transfer the Software to any third party, copy or permit to
                  have copied the Software, reverse engineer, disassemble,
                  de-compile, or transmit the Software in any form or by any
                  means. Software is and shall remain the exclusive property of
                  Gilat or Gilat's vendors. No license other than that
                  specifically stated herein is granted to StarBand, and
                  StarBand shall have no right under patent, trademark,
                  copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property of
                  Gilat or Gilat's vendors other than that granted herein.

         (c)      The service fees detailed in Attachment A cover to the extent
                  paid, the Software license and maintenance for the applicable
                  Software for the term of the Agreement. During the term of the
                  Agreement, Gilat will provide remedial software support
                  services, including bug fixes and changes to Software made
                  available by Gilat generally to correct errors or improve the
                  efficiency and effectiveness of the then current Software,
                  without adding new functions to the then current Software so
                  that Gilat's software operates properly on the Gilat-provided
                  Equipment in accordance with the specifications therefor.

         (d)      Except as set forth in Section 15 all intellectual property
                  rights subsisting in or related to the Equipment and Software
                  and/or Transition Services, including but not limited to
                  patents and other know-how and copyright, both registered and
                  unregistered, owned and/or otherwise used by Gilat and all
                  goodwill related thereto (collectively the "IP Rights") are
                  and shall remain at all times the exclusive property of Gilat
                  or, as the case may be, its affiliates and/or vendors and/or
                  licensors. StarBand shall not have or acquire any right, title
                  or interest in or otherwise become entitled to any IP Rights
                  by taking delivery of, making payment for, distributing and/or
                  selling or otherwise using or transferring the Equipment,
                  Software or Transition Services, other than such rights
                  granted in this Agreement.

4.       Most Favored Nations.

         Gilat shall provide at all times, and from time to time, all Gilat
         Products & Services or other products and services contemplated hereby
         to operate the Business on rates and terms no less favorable than the
         best terms offered on the Gilat Products & Services offered hereunder
         to other customers wherever situated. For these purposes, the Most
         Favored Nation concept refers to prices no higher than those charged by
         Gilat (as the case may be) for comparable products and services sold in
         comparable quantities on comparable terms and conditions including, but
         not limited to, subsidy, support or other related payment, made to
         other customers in bona fide offers or sales. Gilat's

         obligations hereunder shall apply to all commercial terms including
         without limitation warranties, costs of software upgrades, new
         products, terms and timing of shipping and delivery. If there is no
         similarly situated customer as described above, the parties shall
         provide such products on commercially reasonable terms in the context
         of the transactions contemplated hereunder negotiated in good faith on
         an arm's-length basis.

         Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, beginning [*], in no event
         shall the prices charged hereunder by Gilat for any Gilat Products &
         Services or other products and services contemplated to be provided by
         Gilat to StarBand hereunder, irrespective of any quantity or subsidy,
         support or other terms, exceed [*] of the price charged by Gilat to any
         other customer in the consumer market, where ever located.

         The parties agree that in case any other provisions of this Agreement
         conflicts with the terms of this section, the terms of this section
         shall control.

5.       Transition Services.

         (a)      Attachment B describes the Transition Services to be provided
                  under this Agreement, including, without limitation, name of
                  service, pricing, and scope of service.

         (b)      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or unless
                  otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms detailed in
                  Attachment B, Gilat shall provide or cause to be provided each
                  of the Transition Services beginning on the Effective Date or
                  the date indicated in Attachment B and continuing through to
                  the expiration of the Transition Services Term, as such term
                  is defined in Section 7(b) below, unless otherwise terminated
                  pursuant to the terms detailed in Attachment B.

         (c)      StarBand may request Gilat to provide additional or modified
                  Transition Services that are not described in Attachment B.
                  Gilat will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate
                  any reasonable requests by StarBand to provide additional or
                  modified Transition Services. In order to initiate a request
                  for additional or modified Transition Services, StarBand shall
                  submit a request in writing to Gilat specifying the nature of
                  the additional or modified Transition Services and requesting
                  a cost estimate and time frame for completion. Gilat shall
                  respond within ten (10) days to such written request. Only if
                  StarBand accepts Gilat's offer to provide the additional or
                  modified Transition Services, will such additional or modified
                  Transition Services be provided hereunder and according to the
                  terms agreed to by the parties in writing.

6.       Transitional Cooperation.

         (a)      StarBand and Gilat will cooperate to assure an orderly and
                  efficient Transition. Each party shall make available, as
                  reasonably requested by the other party, sufficient resources
                  and timely decisions, approvals and acceptances, in order that

                  each party may perform its obligations under this Agreement in
                  a timely and efficient manner.

         (b)      If the provision of a Transition Service in whole or in part
                  requires the consent of a third party to the assignment of any
                  license or other agreement, Gilat shall use best commercial
                  efforts to obtain such consent. If Gilat is unable to obtain
                  any such consent after using best commercial efforts, then the
                  parties will agree upon a commercially reasonable alternative
                  that next best approximates such Transition Service on a basis
                  consistent with Attachment B.

         (c)      If requested by StarBand in connection with the Transition,
                  Gilat shall use best commercial efforts to assist StarBand in
                  its efforts to enter into a license or other agreement with
                  any third party with whom Gilat and any of their affiliates
                  have a commercial relationship.

         (d)      Each party shall appoint a person for the purpose of
                  coordinating the Transition and the provision of the
                  Transition Services.

7.       Term.

         (a)      This Agreement shall become effective upon and the term shall
                  commence at the Effective Date and shall terminate five (5)
                  years thereafter (the "Term"), and shall automatically renew
                  for additional five (5) year terms. Without limiting Gilat's
                  obligations under the Most Favored Nations provisions of

         (f)      Product Warranty

                  (i)      During the Warranty Period, the Equipment and
                           Software shall be in compliance in all material
                           respects with the then applicable (i.e., time of
                           order) technical performance specifications, and
                           shall be free from defects in workmanship and
                           materials. "Warranty Period" means: (A) for the hub
                           and server Equipment and all Equipment and Software
                           delivered therewith and installed in accordance with
                           the provisions hereof, from the time of delivery to
                           StarBand and for a period of twelve (12) months from
                           the later of the purchase or the date of
                           commissioning of such hub and server Equipment; (B)

                           services, for the period during which StarBand
                           purchases such optional hub operations services from
                           Gilat; and (C) for all other Equipment and Software,
                           from the time of installation and for a period of
                           twelve (12) months thereafter. Notwithstanding the
                           foregoing and without limiting any other obligations
                           of Gilat hereunder, Gilat does not warrant that the
                           Software will be error free or uninterrupted in its
                           use or operation.

                           Thereafter, StarBand may purchase at its option an
                           extended full warranty at an annual cost equal to [*]
                           of the purchase price for all Equipment subject to
                           such extended warranty. Under this product warranty,
                           Gilat will be responsible for the cost of any
                           replacement parts and associated labor, overhead and
                           related expenses. After the above product warranty
                           periods have elapsed, Gilat will sell replacement
                           parts to StarBand for a period of seven (7) years
                           from StarBand's last purchase of particular products
                           at prices equal to the then current USB box price,
                           multiplied by [*] for the ODU, [*] for the USB Indoor
                           Unit, [*] for the LNBs, and [*] for the antenna/mount
                           system. Gilat reserves the right to provide notice
                           that a particular part will be discontinued and to
                           establish a time limit for all future orders of such
                           part.

                           Equipment and/or Software found to be defective
                           during the Warranty Period and returned to Gilat's
                           premises at StarBand's expense. Return of the
                           repaired or replaced Equipment or Software to

                           shall be at the expense of Gilat, unless Gilat

                           defective within the terms of the warranty, in which
                           event StarBand shall pay Gilat all costs of handling,
                           transportation and labor at Gilat's then prevailing

                           B) Under this product warranty, for Software, if an
                           error in the Software precludes the Equipment from
                           being in material compliance with the then applicable
                           specifications, Gilat will use its commercial best

                           or update. The price for extended maintenance on
                           Software shall be the monthly per site charge as set
                           forth in Attachment A.

                  under a confidentiality obligation to the Receiving Party, and
                  (iii) not to make any use whatsoever at any time of such
                  Confidential Information except as expressly authorized in
                  this Agreement or as reasonably necessary for the purposes of
                  running their respective businesses. Subject to restrictions
                  on disseminating Confidential Information to third parties
                  contained in this Agreement, any affiliate, employee, agent,
                  contractor or financing party given access to any such
                  Confidential Information must have a legitimate "need to know"
                  and will be similarly bound to the Receiving Party in writing
                  (including without limitation pursuant to a pre-existing
                  agreement). The Receiving Party shall be responsible to the
                  disclosing party with respect to any breach of the provisions
                  of this section caused by any such third parties provided
                  access to Confidential Information by the Receiving Party.
                  Without granting any right or license, the parties agree that
                  the foregoing will not apply with respect to information the
                  Receiving Party can document (i) is in or (through no improper
                  action or inaction by the Receiving Party or any affiliate,
                  agent or employee of the Receiving Party) enters the public
                  domain, or (ii) was in its possession or known by it prior to
                  receipt from the disclosing party, or (iii) was rightfully
                  disclosed to it by another person without restriction, or (iv)
                  was developed independently by it without use of the
                  Confidential Information. The Parties recognize that service
                  providers (employees, consultants and the like) may serve
                  multiple parties hereto simultaneously and hereby agree that
                  disclosure to or from such service providers shall not affect
                  the obligations of confidentiality to the party whose
                  information is disclosed.

         (b)      Immediately upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving
                  Party will return or, at the disclosing party's direction,
                  destroy or erase and certify the destruction or erasure of all
                  Confidential Information and all documents containing any such
                  Confidential Information and all copies and extracts of the
                  portions of such Confidential Information (regardless of the
                  media on which the Confidential Information is stored).

         (c)      Either party may disclose the other's Confidential Information
                  as required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange
                  rules; provided however, that such party will provide the
                  other party as much notice as reasonably possible under the
                  circumstances of such disclosure and the opportunity to
                  contest such disclosure.

         (d)      Each Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that due to the
                  unique nature of the Confidential Information, there may be no
                  adequate remedy at law for breach of the obligations
                  hereunder. Therefore upon any such breach or any threat of
                  such breach, the disclosing party may be entitled to
                  appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies
                  it might have at law and under this Agreement.

         (e)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
                  provisions of this Section 10 shall survive for a period of
                  five (5) years following the expiration or termination of this
                  Agreement.

11.      Dispute Resolution.

         (a)      Each party shall designate an individual as its project
                  manager with the right and responsibility to represent such
                  party with regard to the day to day management of such party's
                  performance of the terms of this Agreement ("Project
                  Manager").

         (b)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the
                  contrary, the following procedure shall be adhered to in all
                  disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement (other
                  than disputes arising under section 13(a)), that the parties
                  cannot resolve informally (the "Dispute").

                  (i)      Any party may initiate this dispute resolution
                           process by giving another party's Project Manager
                           written notice of the Dispute. The Project Managers
                           of the parties shall thereafter have a reasonable
                           period of time to resolve the Dispute, but in no
                           event longer than ten (10) days after delivery of the
                           written notice described in this section 11(b)(i).
                           All attempts at resolution shall be conducted in good
                           faith and in no event shall the Project Managers
                           waive attempts at such resolution.

                  (ii)     In the event the Project Managers are unable to
                           resolve a Dispute submitted to dispute resolution in
                           accordance with subsection (i) above, either party
                           may elect in writing, within five (5) days after
                           expiration of the ten (10) day period described in
                           (i) above, to refer the Dispute to appropriate senior
                           executive officers (Vice President or above) of the
                           parties having responsibility over such matters
                           ("Executive Officers"). The Executive Officers shall
                           thereafter have a reasonable period of time to
                           resolve the Dispute, but in no event longer than ten
                           (10) days following the written referral to them of
                           the Dispute. All attempts at resolution shall be
                           conducted in good faith and in no event shall the
                           Executive Officers waive attempts at such resolution.

                  (iii)    If the Project Managers are unable to resolve the
                           Dispute as described above, but neither party refers
                           the Dispute to the Executive Officers within the
                           indicated deadline, the relevant Dispute shall be
                           deemed withdrawn, but not waived. In order to
                           reestablish the claim, the claiming party will be
                           required to reinitiate the Dispute under section
                           11(b)(i).

                  (iv)     If, at any time following the procedures of section
                           11(a)(i), and if relevant, Section 11(a)(ii), the
                           Project Manager or the Executive Officer for one
                           Party notifies one or more other parties in writing
                           that a Dispute considered under this section
                           constitutes a material breach of the terms and
                           conditions of this Agreement, pursuant to section
                           13(b)(ii) hereof, the

                           with respect to such breach, will be considered to

                           effective until delivered to and received by the
                           receiving party in accordance with the notice

13.      Termination Rights.

         (a)      If any party becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, is
                  the subject of any proceedings related to its liquidation,
                  insolvency or for the appointment of a receiver or similar
                  officer for it, makes an assignment for the benefit of all or
                  substantially all of its creditors, or enters into an
                  agreement for the composition, extension, or readjustment of
                  all or substantially all of its obligations, any other party
                  may, by giving thirty (30) days written notice thereof to the
                  affected party, terminate this Agreement without liability or
                  obligation, in whole or in part, as of a date specified in
                  such notice of termination.

         (b)      Any party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days
                  prior written notice to any other in the event of one of the
                  following:

                  (i)      A party's failure to pay any amounts due hereunder
                           that are not duly contested in good faith within
                           thirty (30) days after receipt of the terminating
                           party's written notice of default concerning the
                           same; or

                  (ii)     A party's failure to cure a material breach, within
                           ninety (90) days after receipt of the terminating
                           party's written notice of default concerning the
                           same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a material
                           breach is not able to be cured within such ninety
                           (90) days, the parties may agree to extend such
                           timeframe; provided, however, that Gilat may not
                           terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
                           13(b) so long as Gilat is directly or indirectly the
                           holder of 51% or more of the shares of rStar
                           Corporation or has the right or ability to elect or
                           appoint a majority of the Board of Directors of rStar
                           Corporation.

         (c)      With respect to breaches or defaults giving rise to a right to
                  terminate this Agreement, other than pursuant to section
                  13(a), the dispute resolution procedures of section 11(b)
                  shall be applicable. Any such right of termination shall be
                  suspended until the dispute resolution process in section
                  11(b) is completed or until the alleged breaching party has
                  had an opportunity to seek judicial intervention prior to the
                  end of any applicable cure period in a notice given under
                  section 11(b)(iv).

         (d)      The remedies provided under this section 13 are not exclusive
                  of any other rights or remedies under law or equity to which
                  either party may be entitled to with respect to any breach or
                  failure by the other party.

         (e)      Transition Period. If this Agreement (including any extension
                  terms) expires by its own terms under section 7(a), or if any
                  party terminates this Agreement prior to the end of the
                  applicable term hereof, except for termination pursuant to
                  Section 13(b)(i) hereto, the parties will reasonably cooperate
                  with one another to facilitate an effective transition to
                  commercially reasonable alternatives as follows:

                  (i)      Gilat will fill outstanding purchase orders for a
                           period of no less than eighteen (18) months from the
                           date of termination at the expiration of the term or
                           for termination for reasons other than failure to pay
                           timely;

                  (ii)     Gilat will support StarBand operations and
                           subscribers with regular Software updates and
                           telecommunications facilities and services pursuant
                           to the Telecommunications Services Agreement (to the
                           extent such agreement remains in effect at the time
                           of termination) for three (3) years following
                           termination subject to payment of any applicable fees
                           therefor as set forth in this Agreement or in the
                           Telecommunications Services Agreement;

                  (iii)    Gilat's product warranty and warranty parts
                           obligations set forth in section 9 shall survive any
                           such expiration or termination.

14.      Limitation of Liability and Indemnification.

         (a)      Except as further limited by section 9(f) hereto, the sole and
                  exclusive remedy at law (other than with respect to claims
                  involving misrepresentation or fraud) for any claim (whether
                  such claim is based in tort, contract or otherwise) arising
                  out of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
                  agreement in or pursuant to this Agreement shall be a claim
                  for actual damages, which claims are independent of and in
                  addition to any equitable rights or remedies. No party shall
                  be liable in any case to any other party for indirect,
                  consequential, punitive, special or other similar damages
                  arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

         (b)      Gilat shall, at its sole expense, defend, indemnify, and hold
                  StarBand harmless from and against all costs, expenses and
                  liabilities in connection with any claim, suit or action for
                  infringement of any intellectual property rights, including
                  patent, copyright, or trade secret rights which arise from any
                  of the products or services provided by Gilat under this
                  Agreement, including but not limited to the currently pending
                  Hughes claim.

         (c)      Should the Gilat Products & Services or any component thereof
                  that may be provided by Gilat under this Agreement become, or
                  in Gilat's opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim
                  of infringement of any intellectual property rights, Gilat may
                  exercise any of the following options at their sole expense:
                  (i) procure for StarBand the right to continue using the Gilat
                  Products & Services; (ii) replace the same with comparable
                  alternatives; (iii) modify the same so as to be non-

                  infringing; and/or (iv) compensate StarBand for the full
                  purchase price of the impacted Gilat Products & Services plus
                  an additional amount StarBand is required to reimburse to any
                  of its customers as a result therefor.

         (d)      StarBand agrees that Gilat's liability for intellectual
                  property infringement shall not apply to any claim, suit or
                  action for infringement which may be brought against StarBand
                  to the extent due to: (i) StarBand's modification of the Gilat
                  Products & Services or any parts thereof or StarBand's
                  modification of the Software or any software associated
                  therewith; or (ii) use of the Gilat Products & Services or
                  Transition Services with any device, software or services
                  added by StarBand. StarBand further agrees that it will
                  indemnify Gilat on the same terms as Gilat is obligated to
                  indemnify StarBand pursuant to this section, should any claim
                  of infringement be made against Gilat to the extent caused by
                  StarBand's modifications or use as aforesaid. StarBand,
                  however, shall not be liable for any such modifications that
                  are made at the instruction of Gilat.

         (e)      StarBand hereby indemnifies Gilat, and shall indemnify and
                  save Gilat harmless from and against injuries, loss and/or
                  damage to Gilat's employees and/or their tangible personal
                  property and/or to the person or tangible personal property of
                  third parties to the extent caused by the willful or negligent
                  acts or omissions of StarBand.

         (f)      Gilat hereby indemnifies and shall indemnify and save StarBand
                  harmless from and against injuries, loss, or and/or damage to
                  StarBand's employees and/or its tangible personal property
                  and/or to the person or tangible personal property of third
                  parties to the extent caused by the willful or negligent acts
                  or omissions of Gilat.

         (g)      It is understood and agreed by StarBand that under this
                  Agreement, Gilat is providing the Gilat Products & Services
                  for purposes determined by StarBand. StarBand recognizes that
                  Gilat does not control the manner in which StarBand uses the
                  Gilat Products & Services, the access by others to the data or
                  other content transmitted over the StarBand network or the
                  content of the communications that StarBand transmits and
                  receives over its network. StarBand therefore agrees to
                  indemnify and hold Gilat and Gilat's officers, directors, and
                  employees harmless from and against any and all claims for
                  direct damages, expenses, and losses (including reasonable
                  attorney's fees) to the extent arising out of or in connection
                  with (a) the use to which StarBand elects to put the Gilat
                  Products & Services; or (b) the content of the communications
                  that StarBand or its customers place over the Gilat Products &
                  Services.

         (h)      A party which is seeking indemnification hereunder shall
                  notify the indemnifying party in reasonable detail of the
                  event(s) giving rise to such claim for indemnification within
                  fifteen (15) business days after the indemnified party has
                  actual knowledge of such event(s). The indemnifying party
                  shall not have any liability to the indemnified party to the
                  extent that it is materially prejudiced as a

                                  CONFIDENTIAL

                  result of any delay in notification by the indemnified party
                  nor shall the indemnifying party be responsible for any
                  additional loss incurred by the indemnified party due to such
                  delay by the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall
                  have the right to undertake the defense of any claim upon
                  delivery of notice to the indemnified party with respect to
                  such claim. Such defense shall be made with counsel reasonably
                  acceptable to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party
                  fails to undertake the defense of the indemnified party within
                  such time period, the indemnified party may retain its own
                  counsel for such defense (which shall be reasonably acceptable
                  to the indemnifying party), and the indemnified party's
                  reasonable attorney's fees and expenses related to such claim
                  shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No party shall,
                  without the consent of the other party or parties, agree to
                  any non-monetary settlement of the indemnified claim.

15.      Within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, Gilat agrees to
         commence providing the Escrow Agent the Escrow Materials as described
         in Attachment D and shall thereafter, during the term of this
         Agreement, continually provide to the Escrow Agent the Escrow Materials
         as are commercially reasonable. StarBand's right to access the Escrow
         Materials shall be as provided in the Escrow Agreement (All terms
         herein shall be defined in Attachment D).

         (a)      Effective upon the release of the Escrow Materials to
                  StarBand, Gilat grants to StarBand a fully paid-up and royalty
                  free license under Gilat's intellectual property rights
                  (including but not limited to, patents, inventions,
                  discoveries, trade secrets, know-how, and copyrights, but not
                  including trademarks and tradenames) to (a) make or have made
                  the Equipment as described in Attachment D of the Agreement;
                  (b) to incorporate into such manufactured Equipment the
                  licensed Software; and (c) to use, sell, lease, rent,
                  maintain, or otherwise dispose of the Equipment containing the
                  Licensed Software to the same extent as permitted under the
                  Master Agreement. Except as provided in Section 3.4 of the
                  Escrow Agreement, such license shall be irrevocable. Gilat
                  agrees that it will not enter into any agreements or
                  relationship with a third party which agreement or
                  relationship would preclude the exercise by StarBand of the
                  rights granted to it under this Section 15(a) and the Escrow
                  Agreement. This license grant shall give StarBand the right to
                  have a third-party complete and support the Escrow Materials
                  for StarBand, provided that such license shall be limited to
                  StarBands use to manufacture and support the Equipment as
                  specified in this provision. StarBand shall not be permitted
                  to license or sublicense others to use the Escrow Materials
                  (except as is incident to the sale or lease of the initial
                  Equipment by StarBand) or to manufacture or distribute the
                  Equipment except directly for and on behalf of StarBand.
                  Nothing herein shall be construed as a transfer of title to
                  the Escrow Materials, or any portion thereof, or any rights in
                  the intellectual property, trade secret, copyright or patent
                  rights related thereto, except in so far as they may be
                  licensed pursuant to the foregoing license.

         This Agreement, including all matters relating to the validity,
         construction, performance and enforcement hereof, shall be governed by
         the laws of the State of New York, without giving reference to its
         principles of conflicts of laws. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably
         submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court in the
         Southern District of New York, or, to the extent federal jurisdiction
         is not available, any state court in New York, in respect of any action
         arising out of or based upon this Agreement and irrevocably waives any
         objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
         any such action in any such court.

17.      Assignment.

         This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the
         parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Except as to
         distributor and resellers engaged by StarBand to carry out the Business
         none of the parties to this Agreement may assign, transfer or convey
         any right, obligation or duty, in whole or in part, or of any other
         interest under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the
         other relevant parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent shall
         be required in the case of an assignment by a party to an affiliate or
         subsidiary of such party. Furthermore no consent shall be required in a
         transaction involving a merger of StarBand where StarBand shall not be
         the surviving entity or a sale of all or substantially all the assets
         of StarBand.

18.      Waiver of Compliance.

         Other than sections 11(b)(i) or 11(b)(ii), any term or condition of
         this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled
         to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless
         set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the
         party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any
         term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances,
         shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other
         term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All
         remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded,
         will be cumulative and not alternative.

19.      Export Restrictions.

         StarBand agrees that it shall not export, re-export, resell, ship or
         divert the Equipment or Software directly or indirectly to any country
         for which a U.S. or other export license is required without first
         receiving confirmation that the U.S. Department of Commerce and other
         relevant authorities have approved or licensed, if required, such
         export, re-export, resale, shipment or diversion.

20.      Force Majeure.

         Unless specified otherwise, any delay in or failure of performance by
         any party under this Agreement shall not be considered a breach of this
         Agreement if and to the extent caused by events beyond the reasonable
         control of the party affected, including but not limited to acts of
         God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, strikes, riots, wars or
         other military

         action, civil disorders, rebellion, vandalism, or sabotage. The party
         whose performance is affected by such events shall promptly notify the
         other parties giving details of the force majeure circumstances, and
         the obligations of the party giving such notice shall be suspended
         during but not longer than the continuance of the force majeure, and
         the time for performance of the affected obligation hereunder shall be
         extended by the time of the delay caused by the force majeure event.

21.      Verification.

         Each party shall have the right to request on fifteen (15) days notice
         that a third party certified public accountant acceptable to Gilat and
         StarBand, but paid for by the party making the request, conduct an
         audit of the relevant records of another party to verify compliance
         with this Agreement or any portion thereof. The subject matters of such
         an audit may include, but are not necessarily limited to, capacity,
         price, cost, and related issues, but only to the extent this Agreement
         provides (expressly or by reasonable implication) that such matters are
         subject to verification by another party hereto.

22.      Entire Agreement; Amendments.

         This Agreement and any specified provisions of documents incorporated
         by reference contains the entire agreement between the parties with
         respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, and supersede all
         prior arrangements or understandings with respect thereto, written or
         oral. Once this Agreement has been executed, any amendments hereto must
         be made in writing and signed by all parties.

23.      Survival.

         The provisions of section 9(f) Product Warranty, section 10
         Confidential Information, and section 11 Dispute Resolution and any
         other provision which by its terms survives the termination herein,
         shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

24.      Severability.

         In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be
         unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in
         accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the
         original intentions of the parties and the remainder of the provisions
         shall remain in full force and effect.

25.      Counterparts.

         This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
         which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
         constitute one and the same instrument.

26.      Headings.

                       Description of Transition Services

1.       In consideration for the Transition Services detailed below, performed
         by Gilat for StarBand, StarBand shall pay to Gilat the following fees
         (not including payments covering costs and expenses for employees
         loaned to StarBand by Gilat or any other payments that StarBand
         requests that Gilat process through its accounts payable, both of which
         StarBand will reimburse to Gilat):

         A.       Information Technology (IT) StarBand shall reimburse the
                  actual cost incurred by Gilat for IT services provided by
                  Gilat to StarBand.

         B.       Research and Development (R&D) For the right to receive on an
                  ongoing basis the most advanced technology and software and
                  any associated updates from Gilat at no additional cost,
                  Starband will pay to Gilat, in addition to the prices agreed
                  to in attachment A above, an amount of $[*] per VSAT, for up
                  to 10,000 VSATs sold by StarBand per calendar quarter. The
                  parties agree that there shall be no royalty payments by
                  StarBand to Gilat.

         C.       Real Estate. Star Band shall reimburse the actual costs
                  incurred by Gilat for the pro rata share of office space rent
                  paid on the premises of the facilities occupied by StarBand in
                  SUNRISE, FLORIDA and such locations in the Territory as are
                  necessary for the operation of the Business.

         D.       Administrative Services. Gilat shall provide StarBand with
                  such administrative services (including, without limitation,
                  financial, legal, accounting, tax preparation, human resources
                  and the like) as is reasonably required by StarBand for which
                  StarBand will reimburse Gilat for Gilat's actual cost incurred
                  by Gilat for providing such services.

         Except for (i) the R&D provisions mentioned above, which shall survive
         a period of two (2) years from the date of the signing of this
         Agreement and (ii) the Real Estate provision which shall be subject to
         the same termination notice provisions and other terms and conditions
         for early termination set forth in Gilat's leases for the respective
         properties, StarBand may, in its discretion and upon ninety (90) days'
         written notice, cancel one or more of the above Transition Services
         effective at the close of the first calendar quarter following the
         notice, at which time StarBand's obligation to pay Gilat the above
         quarterly fees will cease.

                                Non-Compete Terms

During the term of this Agreement (including all renewals thereof), Gilat hereby
agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates (other than
StarBand) to, (a) directly or indirectly, offer in South America (excluding
Chile), Central America (excluding Mexico) and the Caribbean (the "Territory"),
except to Large Businesses (as defined below), any products or services
competitive with the Gilat Products & Services that are the subject of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, selling, offering for sale or
distributing free of charge, customer premises equipment ("CPE") or any other
products, services, equipment or other items related to the provision by
StarBand of such goods and services in the Territory, or (b) enter into or
permit to exist any transaction with StarBand unless such transaction is
negotiated and consummated on an arm's length basis and upon terms and
conditions no less favorable than those which StarBand could reasonably expect
to be offered by a third party in a substantially similar transaction; provided,
however, that the limitations set forth in clause (a) of this paragraph shall
not: (i) in any way grant to StarBand exclusive rights of any kind in Mexico; or
(ii) limit or prevent Gilat from conducting business in Chile with COMUNICACION
Y TELEFONIA RURAL S.A., SERVICIOS RURALES DE TELECOMUNICACIONES S.A., CTR
HOLDINGS LTD., and RURAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS CHILE S.A.

For the purpose herein, (a) "Existing VSAT Business" means the sale, marketing,
service support of VSAT equipment and VSAT-based network services and the
installation of such equipment; and (b) a "Large Business" means any
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association,
joint-stock company, trust, trustee, unincorporated organization, authority or
other body that (i) has at least 100 VSAT sites and (ii) is centrally billed,
but that is not (A) an Internet Service Provider or (B) a provider of access to
the service (two-way broadband connectivity via satellite) at a residence or
"small office, home office" through an arrangement whereby it would be
reasonably likely that the provider of such access would be paid for such
access, if it was not obtaining another commercial benefit therefrom.

In addition to the foregoing, Gilat further represents and warrants that it will
sell Gilat Products & Services to other parties only pursuant to written terms
and conditions that are expressly limited in such a manner that will not impair
or conflict with StarBand's rights hereunder. Gilat further agrees to use
reasonable efforts to stop and/or discourage activities of other parties that
might attempt to sell Gilat Products & Services in the business segments
described above that are exclusively StarBand's, and to cooperate with StarBand
in this regard.

The preceding paragraphs shall apply to all two-way satellite products now in
existence or that are developed during the term of this agreement (including all
renewals thereof) by Gilat, or any of its affiliates, which shall be made
available to StarBand on mutually agreeable terms and conditions.

During the term of this Agreement (including all renewals thereof), StarBand
agrees that it shall not, in the Territory, offer to Large Businesses products
and services substantially similar to the

products and services that compete with the Existing VSAT Business, it being
understood that nothing contained herein shall prevent StarBand from providing
any services whatsoever to any Person that is not a Large Business or to provide
services to a Large Business which at the time of provision of any equipment or
services by StarBand was not a Large Business and became a Large Business.

Gilat and StarBand each acknowledge that the covenants set forth above
pertaining to them contain reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area
and scope of activity to be restrained, and do not impose a greater restraint
than is necessary to protect and preserve for the benefit of the Parties the
goodwill of StarBand and Gilat and to protect the legitimate business interests
of the Parties. If, however, the covenants set forth above are determined by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their duration
or the scope of the geographical area covered or in any other respect, they will
be interpreted to extend only over the longest period of time for which they may
be enforceable and/or over the largest geographical area as to which they may be
enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other aspects as to which they
may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

These Non-Compete Terms shall terminate upon the termination of the Agreement by
either party thereto in accordance with the terms thereof.
