                           LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

         This Loan Modification Agreement is entered into as of October 19,
1998, by and between At Home Corporation ("Borrower") and Silicon Valley Bank
("Bank").

1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS: Among other indebtedness which may be
owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to, among other
documents, a Loan and Security Agreement, dated September 24, 1997, as may be
amended from time to time, (the "Loan Agreement"). The Loan Agreement provided
for, among other things, a Committed Equipment Line in the original principal
amount of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the "Equipment Facility"). Defined
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in
the Loan Agreement.

Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank shall be referred to as
the "Indebtedness."

2. DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL AND GUARANTIES. Repayment of the Indebtedness is
secured by the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement.

Hereinafter, the above-described security documents and guaranties, together
with all other documents securing repayment of the Indebtedness shall be
referred to as the "Security Documents". Hereinafter, the Security Documents,
together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Indebtedness shall
be referred to as the "Existing Loan Documents".

3.       DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

         A. Modification(s) to Loan Agreement

         1.       The defined terms as set forth in Section 1.1 entitled
                  "Definitions" are hereby amended or added to read as follows:

                  "Committed Equipment Line" means a credit extension of Fifteen
                  Million Dollars ($15,000,000).

                  "Libor Rate" has the meaning set forth in the Libor Supplement
                  attached hereto.

                  "Maturity Date" means October 19, 2002.

                  "Payment Date" means the nineteenth (19th) calendar day of
                  each month, commencing on the first such date after the
                  Closing Date and ending on the Maturity Date.

                  "Prepayment Fee" means a fee on any portion of the Obligations
                  with a fixed interest rate (the "Fixed Obligations") that is
                  paid before the payment due date. The Prepayment Fee is
                  calculated as follows: first, Bank determines a "Current
                  Market Rate" based on what the Bank would receive if it loaned
                  the amount on the prepayment date in a wholesale funding
                  market matching maturity, principal amount and principal
                  amount and principal and interest payment dates (such
                  aggregate payments received being deemed the "Current Market
                  Rate Amount"). Bank, in its sole discretion, may select any
                  wholesale funding market as the Current Market Rate. Second,
                  Bank will take the prepayment amount and calculate the present
                  value of each principal and interest payment which,. without
                  prepayment, the Bank would have received during the term of
                  the Fixed Obligations using the applicable interest rate set
                  forth in this Agreement. The sum of the present value
                  calculations is the "Mark to Market Amount". Third, the Bank
                  will subtract the Mark to Market Amount from the Current
                  Market Rate Amount. Any amount greater than zero is the
                  Prepayment Fee.

                  "Treasury Yield Percentage Rate". Treasury Yield Percentage
                  shall be defined as the most recent weekly average yield on
                  actively traded U.S. Treasury obligations having a final
                  maturity approximate to the then remaining average life of the
                  principal amount to be repaid as determined by reference to
                  the week ending figures published in the most recent Federal
                  Reserve Statistical Release which shall become available at
                  least two business days prior to the date as of which such
                  yield is to be determined, or if a Statistical Release is not
                  then published, the arithmetic average (rounded to the nearest
                  .01%) of the per annum yields to maturity for each business
                  day during the week ending at least two business days prior to
                  the date such determination is made, of all issues of actively
                  traded marketable United States Treasury fixed interest rate
                  securities with a constant maturity equal to, or not more than
                  30 days longer or 30 days shorter than the average life of the
                  payments of principal and interest that are avoided by any
                  prepayment (excluding all such securities which can be
                  surrendered at the option of the holder at the face value of
                  payment of any Federal estate tax, or which provide for tax
                  benefits to the holder).

                  19, 1999 (the "Equipment Availability End Date"), Bank agrees
                  to make advances (each an "Equipment Advance" and
                  collectively, the "Equipment Advances") to Borrower in an
                  aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed (i) the Committed
                  Equipment Line, minus (ii) the face amount of all outstanding
                  Letters of Credit (including all drawn but unreimbursed

                  to read as follows:

                  Interest shall accrue from the date of each outstanding

                  or (ii) a fixed rate of the Libor Rate plus 250 basis points
                  ("Option 2"). In the event Borrower elects Option 1, interest
                  shall be payable monthly for each month through the month in
                  which the Equipment Availability End Date falls. In the event

                  month following the Equipment Availability End Date and ending
                  on the Maturity Date, at which time all Equipment Advances
                  under this Section 2.1 and all other amounts due under this
                  Agreement shall be immediately due and payable.

         "Interest Rate" shall mean as to: (a) Prime Rate Loans, a rate equal to
the Prime Rate; and (b) LIBOR Rate Loans, a rate of 250 basis points excess of

the rate of interest per annum determined by Bank to be the per annum rate of
interest as which deposits in United States Dollars are offered to Bank in the

(local time in such interbank market) TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS before the first day
of such Interest Period for a period approximately equal to such Interest Period
and in an amount approximately equal to the amount of such Loan.

         "LIBOR Rate" shall mean, for any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan,
a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%)

comply with such other requirements as Bank determines are reasonable or
desirable in connection therewith.

         Each written request for a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in the form of a
LIBOR Rate Loan Borrowing Certificate as set forth on Exhibit A, which shall be
duly executed by the Borrower.

therewith.

         3. Conversion/Continuation of Loans.

         (a) Borrower may from time to time submit in writing a request that
Prime Rate Loans be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans or that any existing LIBOR
Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request shall
specify the amount of the Prime Rate Loans which will constitute LIBOR Rate
Loans (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans. Each written request for a conversion to a
LIBOR Rate Loan or a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be substantially in
the form of a LIBOR Rate Conversion/Continuation Certificate as set forth on
Exhibit B, which shall be duly executed by the Borrower. Subject to the terms
and conditions contained herein, THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER BANK'S RECEIPT OF
SUCH A REQUEST FROM BORROWER, such Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to LIBOR
Rate Loans or such LIBOR Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be provided
that:

         (v) Bank shall have determined that the Interest Period or LIBOR Rate
is available to Bank which can be readily determined as of the date of the
request for such LIBOR Rate Loan.

         Any request by Borrower to convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans
or continue any existing LIBOR Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to
purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other
applicable LIBOR Rate market to fund any LIBOR Rate Loans, but the provisions
hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund
the LIBOR Rate Loans.

         (b) Any LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate
Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, UNLESS BANK HAS
RECEIVED AND APPROVED A COMPLETE AND PROPER REQUEST TO CONTINUE SUCH LIBOR RATE
LOAN AT LEAST THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO SUCH LAST DAY in accordance with
the terms hereof. Any LIBOR Rate Loans shall, at Bank's option, convert to Prime
Rate Loans in the event that (i) an Event of Default, or event which with the
notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall
exist, (ii) this Supplement or the Loan Agreement shall terminate, or (iii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Loans which have previously been
converted to LIBOR Rate Loans, or the aggregate principal amount of existing
LIBOR Rate Loans continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest
Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceeds the COMMITTED
EQUIPMENT LINE. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank
may, at its option, charge Borrower's loan account) any amounts required to
compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or
expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Rate
Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.

         (c) On all Loans, Interest shall be payable by Borrower to Bank monthly
in arrears not later than the nineteenth (19th) day of each calendar month at
the applicable Interest Rate.

         4. Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Rate Loans; Etc.

         (a) IF FOR ANY REASON (INCLUDING VOLUNTARY OR MANDATORY PREPAYMENT OR
ACCELERATION), BANK RECEIVES ALL OR PART OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF A LIBOR RATE
LOAN PRIOR TO THE LAST DAY OF THE INTEREST PERIOD FOR SUCH LOAN, BORROWER SHALL
IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY BORROWER'S ACCOUNT OFFICER AT BANK AND, ON DEMAND BY BANK,
PAY BANK THE AMOUNT (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would
have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the
last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been
recoverable by Bank by placing the amount so received on deposit in the
certificate of deposit markets or the offshore currency interbank markets or
United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period
starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of
such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Bank in its reasonable
discretion. Bank's determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

         (b) Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time
such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any
costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or
maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any Loans
relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable
being herein called "Additional Costs"), in each case resulting from any
Regulatory Change which:

                  (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to
Bank under this Supplement in respect of any Loans (other than changes which
affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the
jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office); or

                  (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or
any deposits with or other liabilities of Bank (including any Loans or any
deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate"); or

                  (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Supplement
(or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of the Loan
Agreement which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this section as
promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to
request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting
forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this
Section 4. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 4
of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its
obligations to make Loans or of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts
receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to
compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

         (c) Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon the request of Bank, such amount
or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the sole good faith opinion of such Bank)
to compensate it for any loss, costs or expense incurred by it as a result of
any failure by Borrower to borrow a Loan on the date for such borrowing
specified in the relevant notice of borrowing hereunder.

         (d) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any
applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any
change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its
applicable lending office) with any respect or directive regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a "Parent")
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank
(or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days
after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of Bank claiming
compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         (e) If at any time Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion,
determines that: (i) the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans for periods equal to the
corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore
currency interbank markets, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect
the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Rate Loan, then Bank shall promptly give
notice thereof to Borrower, and upon the giving of such notice Bank's obligation
to make the LIBOR Rate Loans shall terminate, unless Bank and the Borrower agree
in writing to a different interest rate Loans shall terminate, unless Bank and
the Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR
Rate Loans. If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain
any Loans, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank,
Borrower shall prepay the Loans in full with accrued interest thereon and all
other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any
amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 4(a)).
