                          STARBAND COMMUNICATIONS INC.
                            2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

       This is the STARBAND COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN. Our
Board adopted this Plan as of May 26, 2000. At that time, our name was
Gilat-to-Home Inc. As of September 11, 2000, we changed our name to StarBand
Communications Inc. and the name of the Plan has been conformed to reflect that
change.

       This Plan authorizes our Board to grant options to purchase, stock
appreciation rights ("SARs") as to and restricted shares of, our common stock.
The Plan supplies a number of standard terms and conditions for options, SARs
and restricted stock that will apply unless our Board provides otherwise in a
particular case. We have provided definitions for capitalized terms in Section
20 below.

       1.     PURPOSE

       We are adopting the Plan so that we can grant Options, SARs and shares of
Restricted Stock to selected officers, employees, directors and consultants who
are providing services to us or our Affiliates. We believe that equity ownership
will create strong incentives for our personnel to produce good business results
for us by giving them an opportunity to acquire or increase a proprietary
interest in StarBand Communications Inc. ("StarBand"). We hope that equity
ownership will encourage them to do their best to help us to achieve our
long-term corporate objectives and that they also will be more likely to stay
with us instead of pursing other employment or business opportunities.

       We intend each Option we grant under the Plan to be a Nonqualified Option
(and not an Incentive Stock Option) for income tax purposes, unless we
specifically designate the Option as an Incentive Stock Option in the Option
Agreement at the time we grant it and the Option satisfies all the requirements
for that treatment. We may issue SARs and shares of Restricted Stock in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6 below. We refer to Options, SARs and
Restricted Stock as "Incentive Awards."

       2.     ADMINISTRATION

              (a)    Board of Directors. Our Board will administer the Plan. Our
Board will have the full power and authority to take all actions and to make all
determinations required or permitted under the Plan. If any Incentive Award or
Agreement needs to be interpreted or amended or if any other action by StarBand
is necessary or desirable to implement the Plan or any Incentive Award, our
Board will have the authority to take those actions, in its discretion. Our
Board will take

<PAGE>   2

action and make determinations in accordance with our Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of
the Board who are present at a meeting at which any issue relating to the Plan
is properly raised for consideration, or by written consent. The Board's
interpretation of the Plan or any Incentive Award or Agreement shall be final
and conclusive.

              (b)    Committee. The Board may appoint a Committee and delegate
all or a portion of the Board's authority for the administration of the Plan to
the Committee. The Committee will take action and make determinations by the
affirmative vote of a majority of its members who are present at a meeting at
which any issue relating to the Plan is properly raised for consideration, or by
written consent in accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

              (c)    No Liability. No member of our Board or the Committee shall
be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or any Incentive Award or Agreement.

              (d)    Scope and Effect of Delegation to the Committee. If our
Board delegates to the Committee the power and authority to take an action or
make a determination, the Committee will have the same power and authority, to
the extent delegated, as the Board would have had. When our Board delegates
power and authority to the Committee, the Board may retain the power and
authority to take final actions and make final determinations itself.

       3.     STOCK

       We can issue shares of our Stock under the Plan, either from treasury
shares or from our authorized but unissued shares. We will not issue more than
8,000,000 shares of Stock under the Plan. As of the first day of each fiscal
year of the Company beginning after December 31, 2000 and before July 1, 2005,
we will increase that number by 4% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
our Stock. We will adjust the number of shares of Stock available under the Plan
from time to time as appropriate to reflect changes in our capitalization
after the Effective Date, as provided in Section 17. If any Incentive Award
expires, terminates, or is canceled, forfeited or terminated, in whole or any
part, before exercise or vesting in full (other than as a result of the exercise
of an SAR for cash), the shares of Stock that were subject to the forfeited,
canceled or terminated portion of that Incentive Award shall be available for
future grants under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than
8,000,000 shares (adjusted pursuant to Section 17 and reduced by Incentive
Awards granted from time to time under the Plan) shall be issued pursuant to
Incentive Stock Options under the Plan, provided, that upon the expiration,
termination, cancellation or forfeiture of an Incentive Stock Option (other than
as a result of the exercise of an SAR for cash), the shares of Stock that were
subject to the forfeited, canceled or terminated portion of the Incentive Stock

                                       -2-
<PAGE>   3

Option shall again be available for future grants of Incentive Stock Options
under the Plan.

       4.     ELIGIBILITY

       We can grant Incentive Awards to any employee, officer, director or
consultant who provides services to StarBand or any Affiliate. All of those
persons will be Eligible Individuals, but only employees of StarBand or a
Subsidiary are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options. Our Board will have
discretion to designate the Eligible Individuals who will receive Incentive
Awards. No one will have any right to an Incentive Award until both: (a) our
Board takes corporate action to make the award and (b) we enter into an
Agreement with that individual. An individual may hold more than one Incentive
Award.

       5.     EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

              (a) Effective Date. The Plan became effective as of the Effective
Date, which is the date our Board adopted it, but our ability to grant Incentive
Stock Options under the Plan is subject to approval of our stockholders, by a
majority of the votes cast at a meeting or by written consent, in either case in
accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, within one year
after the Effective Date. Upon approval of the Plan within that time period by
our stockholders, all Incentive Stock Options that we had previously granted
under the Plan will be fully effective as if the stockholders had approved the
Plan on the Effective Date. If the stockholders do not approve the Plan or
approve it more than one year after the Effective Date, any Incentive Stock
Options that we have granted under the Plan will be Nonqualified Options. Other
Incentive Awards will be fully effective, whether or not our stockholders
approve the Plan.

              (b) Term. The Plan shall terminate 10 years after the Effective
Date and we will not grant any Incentive Awards under the Plan after it
terminates.

       6.     GRANT OF OPTIONS, SARS AND
              SHARES OF RESTRICTED STOCK

              (a)    Options. The Board may grant to an Eligible Individual an
Option to purchase a specified number of shares of Stock at a specified price,
subject to the terms and conditions that are set out in the Plan and to any
additional or permissible alternative terms and conditions that our Board
determines to apply, including in appropriate cases, terms that are necessary to
qualify an Option as an Incentive Stock Option. The grant date of an Option will
be the date our Board has taken action to approve the grant, unless the Board
determines that the Option should have a later grant date.

                                       -3-
<PAGE>   4

              (b)    SARs. The Board may grant to an Eligible Individual rights
to surrender an SAR or a tandem Option and SAR, or portion thereof, and receive
payment from the Company of an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market
Value of the shares of Stock subject to the SAR or Option and SAR, or portion
thereof, as of the date the SARs are exercised, over the Option Price of such
shares. Payment may be made either in shares of Stock or in cash or in any
combination thereof. The method of payment shall be specified in the Agreement
with respect to the SAR. Each SAR shall relate to a specific number of shares of
Stock. The number of shares of Stock subject to an Option to which an SAR
relates shall be reduced by the number of SARs exercised for Stock or cash under
the provisions of the Agreement. SARs may be exercised as provided in Section 10
below.

              (c)    Restricted Stock. The Board may grant to an Eligible
Individual shares of Restricted Stock, subject to payment by the Holder of an
amount not less than the par value of the Stock. Our Board can specify
performance objectives, continuous service requirements or other Conditions that
the Holder must satisfy before the Stock will become vested (wholly or
partially). No Restricted Stock grant will be effective until the Holder and
StarBand each executes an Agreement setting out the Conditions of the grant.
Upon satisfying the specified Conditions and any other applicable requirements,
the Holder shall be entitled to the shares of Stock covered by the grant free of
restrictions, other than restrictions under Section 11 below.

       If the Holder fails to satisfy the specified Conditions within the time
specified or if the Holder's employment terminates before the Holder has
satisfied the Conditions, the Holder will forfeit the shares of Restricted Stock
that are not vested. Our Board can direct that shares of Restricted Stock will
be held, either by StarBand or in escrow, until they become vested and it can
place a legend on the shares of Restricted Stock disclosing the restrictions and
the possibility that the shares will be forfeited if the Conditions are not
satisfied.

              (d)    Cancellation and New Grant of Options and SARs. Our Board
has the authority, with the consent of the affected Optionee or Holder, to
cancel any Option or SAR and to substitute a new Option or SAR covering the same
or a different number of shares of Stock, with the same or a different exercise
price and vesting schedule than the exercise price and vesting schedule of the
canceled Option or SAR.

              (e)    Acceleration and Waiver of Restrictions. By written notice
to the Optionee or Holder, our Board may accelerate the date on which an Option
or SAR may be exercised or the vesting of an Option or SAR or Restricted Stock
award and it may waive transfer restrictions.

                                       -4-

<PAGE>   5

       7.     LIMITATION ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

       There is a $100,000 annual limitation on Incentive Stock Options. The
limitation is based on the fair market value at the time of grant of the shares
of Stock that are covered by an Incentive Stock Option. The limitation relates
to the maximum dollar value of stock for which an Optionee can exercise a vested
Option for the first time in any calendar year, whether or not he or she
actually exercises it.

       Specifically, an option will constitute an Incentive Stock Option only to
the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the
option was granted) of the stock with respect to which the optionee first has
the right to exercise the option (and all other incentive stock options granted
by the same employer or its affiliate) in any calendar year is not more than
$100,000.

       If one or more Options that are designated as Incentive Stock Options
become exercisable in a particular year and the $100,000 limitation is exceeded,
the Options granted most recently will be disqualified first. If any of our
Options exceeds this limitation, the excess portion shall be a Nonqualified
Option.

       8.     AGREEMENTS

       We will not grant any Incentive Awards pursuant to oral agreements. All
of our Options, SARs and Restricted Stock will be evidenced by written
Agreements executed by us and the Optionee or Holder. Our Board has the
discretion to specify the terms of the Agreements, subject to the requirements
of the Plan, and the Board can use different Agreements for different grants.
Our Board can modify an Agreement after it has been executed, but no amendment
or modification will be effective unless it is in writing, approved by our Board
and executed by us and the Optionee or Holder, except that execution by the
Optionee or Holder is not required if the change is beneficial to the Optionee
or Holder.

       9.     OPTION PRICE

       Our Board will determine the purchase price of each share of Stock that
is subject to an Option and the strike price of each SAR and will state that
price in the Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Option
Price cannot be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock covered by
the Option on the date of grant (except that the Option Price cannot be less
than 110% of such Fair Market Value if the Optionee is a 10% Stockholder). In
any case, the Option Price cannot be less than the par value (if any) of the
Stock.

                                       -5-
<PAGE>   6

       10.    TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND SARS

              (a)    Term. Each Option and SAR granted under the Plan will
terminate 10 years from the date of grant or on such earlier date as our Board
specifies in a particular Agreement. If the Option is an Incentive Stock Option
and the Optionee is a 10% Stockholder, the maximum term shall be five years from
the date of grant. Options may be terminated earlier because of termination of
employment or service or a Corporate Transaction under Section 17 below.

              (b)    Option or SAR Period and Limitations on Exercise. Unless
our Board provides different terms in a particular Agreement, each Option and
SAR shall be exercisable at any time from the date of grant until the expiration
or termination of the Option. Our Board may provide that an Optionee or Holder
cannot exercise all or a part of an Option or SAR during any period of time that
the Option or SAR is outstanding and may condition vesting or exercisability of
an Option or SAR upon the Optionee's or Holder's attainment of performance
objectives or service requirements that are specified in the Agreement. Our
Board also may waive in writing any limitation or condition on the exercise of
an Option or SAR that is set out in an Agreement (other than limitations and
conditions that are imposed by the Plan). No Incentive Stock Option can be
exercised before the Plan is approved by our stockholders.

              (c)    Method of Exercise of an Option. An Optionee can exercise a
vested and exercisable Option by delivering to the Company (1) a written notice
of exercise specifying the number of the Option shares that he or she wants to
purchase and (2) payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for which the
Option is being exercised.

       Payment shall be made in cash or through the tender to the Company
of whole shares of Stock that have been held at least six months, valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, plus cash for any remainder,
except that, to the extent permitted in an Option Agreement, the Optionee may
(1) pay the par value of the shares in cash and deliver a full-recourse
promissory note for the remainder of such price or (2) direct the Company to
withhold a number of whole shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Optionee
sufficient to pay the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes. Any
attempt to exercise any Option other than as set forth above shall be invalid
and of no force and effect.

       Within 30 days after an Optionee exercises an Option and pays in full the
Option Price of the shares of Stock purchased, he or she shall be entitled to a
Stock certificate evidencing such shares. Shares purchased under an Incentive
Stock Option will be represented by a separate certificate and will not be
combined with shares purchased under Nonqualified Options, because of the rules
in the Code

                                       -6-

<PAGE>   7

relating to disqualifying dispositions of shares purchased pursuant to Incentive
Stock Options. An individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of
the rights of a stockholder until the shares of Stock are fully paid and issued.
We will put a legend on Stock certificates issued under the Plan to reflect
restrictions on the sale of the Stock and rights that we have under Section 11
below.

              (d)    Method of Exercise of an SAR.

                     (1)    Exercise. A Holder my exercise an SAR by delivering
to the Company a written notice of exercise that specifies the number of SARs
that he or she wants to exercise. The exercise date of the SARs will be the date
upon which the Company receives the exercise notice. Except to the extent that a
Holder exercises an SAR for cash (if permitted by the Agreement), the Holder who
exercises an SAR shall receive, without payment to the Company, the number of
shares of Stock determined under Section 10(d)(2) below. The Company shall issue
a Stock certificate or certificates for such shares promptly after the Holder
exercises an SAR. Shares issued pursuant to the exercise shall be subject to
applicable restrictions pursuant to Section 11 below. No one who holds or
exercises SARs shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any
shares of Stock covered by the SARs until shares of Stock are issued to him or
her, and, except as provided in Section 17 below, no adjustment shall be made
for dividends or other rights for which the record date is before the date on
which the Company issues such shares.

                     (2)    Shares to be issued upon the Exercise of an SAR for
Shares. The number of shares of Stock which shall be issued pursuant to the
exercise of SARs shall be determined by dividing (i) the total number of SARs
being exercised, multiplied by the amount by which the Fair Market Value of a
share of Stock on the exercise date exceeds the Option Price of the shares of
Stock under the SAR by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the
exercise date of the SARs; provided, however, that no fractional share shall be
issued on exercise of SARs, and that cash shall be paid by the Company to the
individual exercising SARs in lieu of any such fractional share.

                     (3)    Exercise of an SAR for Cash. Promptly after the
exercise of an SAR for cash (if permitted by the Agreement), the Company shall
pay to the individual exercising the SAR an amount of money equal to the
difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the exercise
date and the Option Price, in full satisfaction of the Holder's rights in the
SAR.

                     (4)    Limitations. SARs shall be exercisable at such times
and under such terms and conditions as the Board, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall determine and set forth in the Agreements; provided, however,
that an SAR may be exercised only at such times and by such individuals as the

                                       -7-
<PAGE>   8

Agreement provides; and provided, further, that an SAR may be exercised only at
such times as the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the exercise date
exceeds the Option Price. Adjustments in the number, kind, or Option Price of
shares of Stock for which Awards are granted pursuant to Section 17 below shall
be made as necessary to the related SARs held by each Eligible Individual. Any
amendment, suspension or termination of any Option to which any SAR relates
pursuant to Section 17 below shall be deemed an amendment, suspension or
termination of related SARs to the same extent.

       11.    TRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK, SARS AND OPTIONS

              (a)    Lifetime Transfers. During his or her lifetime, only the
Optionee may exercise an Incentive Stock Option. No Optionee may assign or
transfer any Incentive Stock Option, except that, in the event of the Optionee's
death, the Option may be transferred by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. The same rules concerning transfers shall apply to Nonqualified
Options and SARS, except that, to the extent authorized in an Option Agreement,
an Optionee may transfer not for value all or part of a Nonqualified Option and
any related SAR to a Family member or a Family Trust, provided that the
transferee shall enter into a written agreement to be bound by the terms of the
Plan and the Option Agreement and any subsequent transfer of the Option or
shares of Stock shall be subject to the transfer restrictions set out in this
Plan. A transfer (i) under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital
property rights, or (ii) to an entity in which more than 50% of the voting
interests are owned by Family members (or the Optionee) in exchange for an
interest in that entity, shall be considered to be "not for value" for this
purpose. No Holder may assign or transfer any shares of Restricted Stock before
he or she satisfies applicable Conditions with respect to such shares, except
that (i) the Holder may transfer such shares subject to such Conditions by gift
to one or more Family members or to a Family Trust and (ii) in the event of the
Holder's death, the shares of Restricted Stock, to the extent vested, may be
transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

       No holder of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to this Plan shall sell,
assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate any of those shares (1) at any time
before the Stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act unless the
holder has held such shares of Stock at least six months (except as provided in
Section 11(c) below) and (2) in any case, other than in accordance with the
terms of this Plan and any applicable stockholders agreement, or with the prior
written consent of the Company.

              (b)    Right of First Refusal. No one shall sell, pledge, assign,
gift or transfer to anyone, or otherwise dispose of, any shares of Stock
acquired pursuant to an Incentive Award without first offering them to StarBand
for

                                       -8-

<PAGE>   9

purchase on the same terms and conditions as those offered by the proposed
transferee. Any individual who proposes such a transfer (the "Transferor") shall
notify StarBand, in writing, of the identity of the transferee and the terms and
conditions of such transfer.

       StarBand may exercise its right of first refusal within 30 days after
receiving notice of the proposed transfer or it may assign its right to a 10%
Stockholder, a Qualified Plan or an Affiliate. If StarBand and any person to
whom it assigns its rights fail to exercise the right of first refusal during
this 30-day period, the Transferor may proceed with the proposed transfer at any
time within the next 60 days, and if he or she does not do so, the restrictions
of this Subsection shall re-apply. The restrictions of this Subsection shall not
apply to a transfer of Stock (i) by gift to one or more Family members or to a
Family Trust or (ii) that occurs as a result of the death of the Transferor, but
such restrictions shall apply to any subsequent transfer by any person who
acquires such shares from the Transferor. The right of first refusal granted in
this Section shall terminate on the closing of an initial public offering of the
Company's Stock under the Securities Act.

       (c)    Repurchase Right. Upon the termination of the employment or
service with the Company or any of its Affiliates for any reason of an Eligible
Individual, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have the right, for a
period of 180 days following such termination, to repurchase any or all of the
shares of Stock acquired by the Eligible Individual under the Plan, at a price
equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock on the date of
termination (or at such lower price as is specified in the appropriate
Agreement). Upon the exercise of an Option or SAR following termination of
employment or service, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have the
right, for a period of 180 days following such exercise, to repurchase any or
all of the shares of Stock purchased at a price equal to the Fair Market Value
of such shares on the date of exercise (or at such lower price as is specified
in the appropriate Award Agreement). The repurchase rights granted in this
Section shall terminate on the closing of an initial public offering of the
Company's Stock under the Securities Act.

       (d)    Additional Provisions. Our Board may include additional transfer
restrictions and other provisions in any Incentive Award granted under the Plan,
including, without limitation, provisions requiring return to the Company of
shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and forfeiture of Options, SARs and
gains realized upon the disposition of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan
in the event that an Eligible Individual competes with the Company, solicits its
employees, customers or suppliers to discontinue their business relationships
with the Company or materially breaches an agreement with StarBand or its
Affiliates concerning confidentiality, noncompetition or nonsolicitation.

       12.    TERMINATION OF SERVICE OR EMPLOYMENT

              (a)    No Change of Control. If an Optionee or Holder ceases to be
an employee or service-provider of StarBand and its Affiliates other than
because of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, any Option, SAR or
Restricted Stock grant that he or she holds that is not vested shall terminate
immediately, except as provided in Section 12(b) below with respect to a Change
of Control, and unless our Board determines otherwise. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 13 below (in the case of death, Disability or Retirement),
any vested Option or SAR will terminate (1) immediately, if the termination of
employment or service is involuntary and with Cause or (2) otherwise, upon the
expiration of three months after termination of the Optionee's or Holder's
employment or service with StarBand and its Affiliates or, if earlier,
expiration or termination of the Option or SAR under the Plan or the Agreement,
except that our Board has the authority to specify different provisions relating
to the vesting of Restricted Stock and the vesting and exercise of Options or
SARs in any Agreement.

              (b)    Change of Control. If, within 12 months following a Change
of Control, an Optionee's or Holder's service or employment with StarBand and
its Affiliates is terminated without Cause either involuntarily or by
Constructive Discharge, any Option, SAR or Restricted Stock grant that he or she
holds that is not vested shall become immediately vested in full and any such
Option or SAR shall terminate upon the expiration of three months after
termination of the Optionee's or Holder's employment or service with StarBand
and its Affiliates or, if earlier, expiration or termination of the Option or
SAR under the Plan or the Agreement, except as provided in Section 12(c) below;
provided, that our Board has the authority to specify different provisions
relating to the vesting of Restricted Stock and the vesting and exercise of
Options and SARs in any Agreement.

              (c)    Limitation on Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding
heretofore or hereafter entered into by an Eligible Individual with the Company
or any Affiliate, except an agreement, contract, or understanding hereafter
entered into that expressly modifies or excludes application of this paragraph
(an "Other Agreement"), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other
arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Eligible
Individual (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of
which the Eligible Individual is a member), whether or not such compensation is
deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Eligible
Individual (a "Benefit Arrangement"), if the Eligible Individual is a
"disqualified individual," as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code, any
Option, Restricted Stock or SAR held by that Eligible Individual and any right
to receive any payment or other benefit under this Plan shall not become
exercisable or vested (i) to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting,
payment, or

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>   11

benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for
the Eligible Individual under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit
Arrangements, would cause any payment or benefit to the Eligible Individual
under this Plan to be considered a "parachute payment" within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a "Parachute Payment") and(ii)
if, as a result of receiving a Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax
amounts received by the Eligible Individual under this Plan, all Other
Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum
after-tax amount that could be received by the Eligible Individual without
causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. In the
event that the receipt of any such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or
benefit under this Plan, in conjunction with all other rights, payments, or
benefits to or for the Eligible Individual under any Other Agreement or any
Benefit Arrangement would cause the Eligible Individual to be considered to have
received a Parachute Payment under this Plan that would have the effect of
decreasing the after-tax amount received by the Eligible Individual as described
in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then the Eligible Individual shall
have the right, in the Eligible Individual's sole discretion, to designate those
rights, payments, or benefits under this Plan, any Other Agreements, and any
Benefit Arrangements that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having
the payment or benefit to the Eligible Individual under this Plan be deemed to
be a Parachute Payment.

              (d)    Transfers; Leave of Absence. Our Board has discretion to
determine whether employment or service continues during a leave of absence on
military or government service. If an Optionee or Holder transfers from StarBand
to an Affiliate or vice versa or from one Affiliate to another, his or her
employment or service will not be deemed to have terminated because of the
transfer.

       13.    RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT

              (a)    Death. If an Optionee or Holder of an SAR dies while
employed by or providing service to StarBand or an Affiliate, the personal
representative or beneficiaries of the Optionee or Holder, as applicable, shall
have the right within one year after the date of his or her death and before
termination of the Option or SAR to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option or
SAR held by the deceased person when he or she died, whether or not vested
before his or her death, and the Option or SAR will terminate if not exercised
within that period of time, except that our Board has the authority to specify
different provisions relating to the vesting and exercise of a deceased person's
Options or SARs in any Agreement.

              (b)    Disability. If an Optionee or Holder of an SAR terminates
employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates because of Disability,
then he or she shall have the right, within one year after such termination of

                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>   12

employment or service and before termination of his or her Option or SAR, to
exercise, in whole or in part, any Option or SAR held by such person at the date
of his or her termination of employment or service, whether or not vested at the
time of such termination, and the Option or SAR will terminate if not exercised
within that period of time. However, our Board can specify different terms for
the vesting or exercise of an Option or SAR in the case of Disability in any
Agreement.

              (c)    Retirement. If an Optionee or Holder of an SAR terminates
employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates because of Retirement,
then he or she shall have the right to exercise, in whole or in part, the vested
portion of his or her Option or SAR until termination or expiration of such
Option or SAR under the terms of the Plan and Agreement. In such cases, the
unvested portion of any Option or SAR held by the Optionee or Holder shall
terminate upon termination of his or her employment or service. However, our
Board can specify different terms for the vesting or exercise of an Option or
SAR in the case of Retirement in any Agreement.

              (d)    Disability or Death of Holder of Restricted Stock. Except
as otherwise provided in an Agreement, upon the termination of employment or
service of a Holder with the Company because of Disability or Death (but not
Retirement), the shares of Restricted Stock held by such Holder shall be fully
vested.

       14.    USE OF PROCEEDS

       The proceeds that StarBand receives from the issuance of Stock pursuant
to the Plan shall constitute its general funds.

       15.    REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

       We will not issue any shares of Stock under the Plan if doing so would
result in a violation by us or anyone else of any law or regulation, including
any federal or state securities law. Specifically in connection with the
Securities Act, when we grant Restricted Stock, when Restricted Stock becomes
vested or when someone exercises an Option or SAR, unless a registration
statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect to the shares of
Stock that we are supposed to issue, we will not be required to issue any shares
of Stock unless and until we have receive evidence satisfactory to us that the
such shares can be issued or sold under an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act. The Board's good faith determination in this connection shall be
final, binding, and conclusive.

       We may, but shall not be obligated to, register any securities covered by
the Plan under the Securities Act. We are not obligated to take any action in

                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>   13

order to allow an Optionee or Holder to exercise an Option or SAR or to cause
shares issued or sold pursuant to an Option or SAR or because of the grant or
vesting of Restricted Stock to comply with any law or regulation, including the
Securities Act. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement
that an Option or SAR shall not be exercisable or that we may not issue or sell
shares of Stock unless and until the shares are registered or are subject to an
available exemption from registration, the issuance or sale of shares of Stock
under circumstances in which such laws apply shall be deemed conditioned upon
the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such an exemption.

       16.    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

       Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as to any shares of
Stock as to which Incentive Awards have not been granted. Without prior or
subsequent approval by a majority of the votes cast at a duly held meeting of
our stockholders or by written consent, in either case in accordance with our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, (a) change the requirements as to
eligibility to receive Incentive Stock Options or (b) increase the maximum
number of shares of Stock in the aggregate that may be sold or issued pursuant
to grants of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan (except as permitted under
Section 17).

       Except as permitted under Section 17, no amendment, suspension or
termination of the Plan shall alter or impair any rights or obligations under
any Incentive Award previously granted under the Plan. However, with the consent
of the Optionee or Holder, our Board may amend any outstanding Agreement in a
manner not inconsistent with the Plan.

       Amendments to the Plan not requiring stockholder approval shall become
effective when our Board adopts them. Amendments requiring stockholder approval
shall become effective when our Board adopts them, but no Incentive Stock Option
issued after the date of such amendment shall be exercised (unless the Option
could have been exercised without regard to the amendment) unless and until such
amendment shall have been approved by our stockholders. If such stockholder
approval is not obtained within 12 months of the Board's adoption of such
amendment, any Incentive Stock Options granted on or after the date of such
amendment shall be a Nonqualified Option to the extent that such amendment to
the Plan was required to enable StarBand to grant the Option as an Incentive
Stock Option.

       17.    EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

              (a)    Changes in Stock. If the outstanding shares of our Stock
are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number
or

                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>   14

kind of shares or other securities of the Company because of a Capitalization
Change, we will adjust the number and kinds of shares for which we may grant
Options and SARs and issue Restricted Stock.

       In addition, we will adjust the number and kind of shares for which
Options and SARs are outstanding and we will use our reasonable best efforts to
adjust the Options and SARs so that the proportionate interest of the holder of
the Option or SAR immediately after the Capitalization Change will be the same
as immediately before that event. Any adjustment in outstanding Options and SARs
shall not change the aggregate Option Price payable with respect to shares
subject to the unexercised portion of the Option or SAR outstanding but shall
include a proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share. In making
adjustments under this Section, we will follow the rules of Code section 424(a)
and the regulations under that section (whether or not the Option is an
Incentive Stock Option or the SAR relates to an Incentive Stock Option).

              (b)    Reorganizations in Which StarBand is the Surviving
Corporation not Involving a Change of Ownership. If the Company is the surviving
corporation in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation that is not a
Corporate Transaction, any Option granted under the Plan shall apply to the
securities that a holder of shares of Stock that the Optionee would have been
entitled to immediately following the transaction if the Optionee had exercised
the Option in full immediately before the transaction, with an adjustment of the
Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price shall not change. In
making adjustments under this Section, we will follow the rules of Code section
424(a) and the regulations under that section (whether or not the Option is an
Incentive Stock Option).

              (c)    Reorganization in Which StarBand Is Not the Surviving
Corporation or involving a Change of Ownership; Sale of Assets or Stock. Upon
any Corporate Transaction, the Plan and all outstanding Options and SARs shall
terminate, unless we or our Successor agrees in writing in connection with the
Corporate Transaction to continue the Plan and/or to assume the Options and SARs
or to substitute new Options and SARs covering the stock of a Successor for the
Options and to make appropriate equitable adjustments in the number and kind of
shares covered by the Options and the exercise prices, in which event the Plan
and Options and SARs shall continue on such basis. If the Options and SARs and
the Plan are terminated under this Section, each individual holding an
outstanding Option or SAR, whether or not vested, will be entitled to exercise
the Option or SAR for at least 30 days before the Option or SAR terminates,
except as provided in Section 12(c) above. The Board shall send written notice
of a Corporate Transaction that will result in such a termination to all
individuals who hold Options and SARs not later than the time when we give
notice of the proposed transaction to our stockholders. Unvested shares of
Restricted Stock shall not become vested or

                                     - 14 -
<PAGE>   15

forfeited in the case of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in
the Agreement with respect to those restricted shares.

              (d)    Adjustments. The Board shall make the adjustments to our
stock or securities under this Section 17 and the Board's reasonable good faith
determination in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive. Neither
we nor any Successor will be required to issue any fractional shares of Stock or
units of other securities, and any fractions resulting from any adjustment shall
be eliminated in each case by rounding to the nearest whole share or unit
(except that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, a fractional unit shall
be rounded downward).

              (e)    No Limitations on Company. The grant of Incentive Awards
pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way our right or power to
make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets without the consent
of any Optionee.

       18.    DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS

       No provision in the Plan or in any Incentive Award granted or agreement
entered into pursuant to the Plan shall be construed to confer upon any
individual the right to remain in the employ or service of StarBand or any
Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with our right and authority to increase
or decrease the compensation of any individual at any time, or to terminate any
employment or other relationship we have with any individual. Our obligation to
pay any amounts or issue any Stock under the Plan is only a contractual
obligation to pay only those amounts, in the manner and under the conditions
prescribed in the Plan and applicable Agreements. We are not required to
transfer any amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in
trust or escrow for payment to any participant or beneficiary under the Plan.

       19.    NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN

       The Plan does not limit in any way the right and authority of our Board
to adopt other incentive compensation arrangements that apply generally or that
are limited to single individuals, including restricted stock, stock options or
stock appreciation rights.

       CUSTOMER's option, on either a pre paid or a monthly paid basis.
       CUSTOMER must notify SKYNET of its' decision regarding the method of
       payment no later than November 30, 2000.

       In the event CUSTOMER chooses to pre-pay for Service, CUSTOMER shall
       pay SKYNET $[*] (the "Prepaid Service Amount"). The due date for such
       Prepaid Service Amount is December 1, 2000. Notwithstanding the
       foregoing, payment of the Prepaid Service Amount may be made as late as
       December 21, 2000 without the imposition of any penalties whatsoever and
       without such late payment constituting a material breach.

       In the event CUSTOMER elects to pay for Service on a monthly basis
       the following shall apply:

       (i)    A security payment of $[*], due no later than December 1, 2000.
              Such security deposit shall mean cash and/or a standby
              irrevocable, self-renewing, unconditional Letter of Credit naming
              SKYNET as the sole beneficiary, from an issuer rated, at all times
              during the term of this Agreement, at not less than A+ from
              Standard and Poors and not less than A1 from Moody's, with terms
              that are acceptable to SKYNET (an "Acceptable Letter of Credit").
              As required during the term of this agreement, including any
              extension period(s), SKYNET and CUSTOMER will mutually agree to
              modify the amount of the Acceptable Letter of Credit to reflect
              the then remaining contract value plus any outstanding and
              disputed amounts due, but in no event may the Acceptable Letter
              of Credit exceed $[*]. Such cash Security Payment or, if a
              drawing shall have been made under the Acceptable Letter of
              Credit, the funds resulting from such drawing, will be subject to
              the provisions of Paragraph 32 ("SECURITY PAYMENT") of the
              General Terms and Conditions, and

      (ii)    A fee for reservation of the transponders to be provided
              under this Agreement (the "Reservation Fee"). Such
              Reservation Fee shall be a total

              Service") below, and

     (iii)    A monthly charge of $[*] per month per transponder. Such monthly
              charges shall begin December 1, 2000 and continue for the

     notify SKYNET, in writing, no later than thirty-two (32) days prior to the
     date CUSTOMER wants Service to begin on the Second or Third transponders.
     In the event Service is begun early any Second and/or Third transponder,
     CUSTOMER will be entitled to a refund of a portion of the Reservation Fee
     equal to $[*] per transponder per month Service is begun early. Such
     Reservation Fee refund will be in the form of a credit on CUSTOMER's first

   terminating at the end-of life ("EOL") of Telstar 7, currently anticipated to
   be October 31, 2013 (collectively the "Extended Terms of Service"), or (ii)
   Extension through EOL: a single extension of the term of Service commencing
   on January 1, 2008 and continuing through EOL of Telstar 7. In order to
   exercise an Option to Extend Term, CUSTOMER must notify SKYNET of their
   intention to do so, no later than one year prior to the then current
   termination date of this Agreement. Such written notice (the "Notice to
   Extend") shall specify which of the transponders then in Service the
   CUSTOMER elects to extend and the term of such extension (provided that any
   transponder(s) ordered under Right of First Refusal in Section 4.2 hereof,
   may also be extended as provided for in this Section 3 at the time CUSTOMER
   exercises the Right of First Refusal even if such notice would be less than
   one year). The monthly rate and the prepaid Service amount for each
   Non-Preemptible and/or Preemptible transponder(s) taken under this Option to
   Extend Term shall be based on the rates shown in the Table II below:

   If the CUSTOMER elects to pre-pay for the Service, the prepaid Service
   amount for each Non-Preemptible and/or Preemptible transponder(s) taken
   under this Option To Extend Term shall be calculated at the time the
   Option to Extend is requested by discounting the applicable prices set
   forth in Table II above to their Net Present Value (NPV) by utilizing a
   rate of interest, to be negotiated, that is reflective of but not more
   than then current market financial conditions.

4.  OPTIONS TO ADD CAPACITY

    CUSTOMER may add Preemptible and/or Non-Preemptible capacity to this

    three scenarios:

               (i)  Advance knowledge of newly available capacity and an option
                    to obtain such capacity (see 4.1 below),

               (ii) Under a Right-of-First Refusal on capacity for which SKYNET
                    receives a bona fide offer from another customer (see 4.2
                    below), or

               (iii)On a subject to availability basis (see 4.3 below).

           4.1    OPTION TO ADD NEWLY AVAILABLE CAPACITY

                     For the period beginning with the execution of this
                     Agreement through December 31, 2001, SKYNET will notify

                     capacity becomes available for Service to CUSTOMER ("Newly
                     Available Capacity") on Telstar 7 and the date on which
                     such capacity will become available for use by CUSTOMER as
                     part of the Service (this includes notification of the
                     availability of capacity on the day this Agreement is
                     executed). SKYNET will hold such Newly Available Capacity
                     available for CUSTOMER for a period of ten (10) business
                     days following SKYNET's notification. During this ten (10)
                     business day period CUSTOMER may order Service on such
                     Newly Available Capacity or decline to do so. If CUSTOMER
                     orders Service on the Newly Available Capacity, such
                     Service must begin no later than sixty (60) calendar days
                     following the date such Newly Available Capacity becomes
                     available for use by CUSTOMER as part of the Service. In
                     the event CUSTOMER declines to order Service on the Newly
                     Available Capacity, such capacity will be made available
                     to other potential customers. CUSTOMER's failure to
                     respond to SKYNET's notice of Newly Available Capacity
                     will be deemed a refusal of such capacity, for the
                     purposes of this Section 4.1 only. Transponders added
                     under this Option To Add Newly Available Capacity must
                     remain in Service through the Initial Term of Service and
                     may have their term of Service extended pursuant to
                     Section 3, above. The monthly rate for each
                     Non-Preemptible transponder(s) taken under this Option To
                     Add Newly Available Capacity shall be $[*] and the monthly
                     rate for each Preemptible transponder(s) taken under this
                     Option To Add Newly Available Capacity shall be $[*].
                     CUSTOMER may choose to pre-pay for the transponders
                     obtained under this Option To Add Newly Available
                     Capacity. The prepaid Service amount for each
                     Non-Preemptible and/or Preemptible transponder(s) taken
                     under this Option To Add Newly Available Capacity shall be
                     calculated at the time the Additional Transponder(s) is
                     requested. The prepaid Service amount will be calculated
                     to a Net Present Value (NPV) by discounting the applicable
                     monthly price by an annual discount rate of [*].

           4.2       RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

                     During the life of this Agreement, including any subsequent
                     term extensions, SKYNET shall provide CUSTOMER with a Right
                     of First Refusal each time a bona fide offer is received by
                     SKYNET for Ku-Band transponder(s) available on Telstar 7.
                     In order to implement such Right-of-First Refusal SKYNET
                     shall provide CUSTOMER with written notice of such bona
                     fide offer. Such notice shall include, the price,
                     protection level, and term of Service, and all other
                     relevant terms, if any, contained in the bona fide offer.
                     If CUSTOMER chooses to take Service on the transponder(s)
                     in question, CUSTOMER must respond, in writing, to SKYNET
                     within ten (10) business days of CUSTOMER's receipt of
                     SKYNET's written notice and must begin Service no later
                     than sixty (60) calendar days following receipt of SKYNET's
                     written notice or on the date capacity becomes available
                     for use by CUSTOMER as part of the Service, if such date is
                     beyond sixty (60) calendar days. CUSTOMER's failure to
                     respond to SKYNET's notification will be deemed a refusal
                     of SKYNET's offer for the purposes of this Section 4.2
                     only. Transponders added under this Right-of-First Refusal

                     under this Agreement and may have their term of Service
                     extended pursuant to Section 3, above if added during the
                     Initial Term of Service or any extension thereof. The
                     charges in respect of the transponders obtained under this
                     Right-of-First-Refusal may be either prepaid or paid for on
                     a monthly basis. The monthly rate for each transponder(s)
                     taken under this Right-of-First Refusal shall be the
                     monthly rate applicable to the bona fide offer adjusted to

                     in the bona fide offer and the remaining portion of the
                     Initial Term of Service and any Extended Term of Service,
                     if applicable. The monthly rate shall be adjusted by

                    fide offer and the term of Service required for transponders
                    taken under this Right-of-First Refusal to be coterminous
                    with the other transponders under this Agreement. For
                    example, if SKYNET received a bona fide offer for a two-year
                    term and CUSTOMER, in order to exercise the Right-of-First
                    Refusal was required to obtain Service for three years,
                    CUSTOMER's monthly rate would be the bona fide offer rate
                    reduced by [*]. Conversely, if SKYNET received a bona fide
                    offer for a three-year term, and CUSTOMER, in order to
                    exercise the Right-of-First Refusal was required to obtain
                    Service for two years, CUSTOMER's monthly rate would be the
                    bona fide offer rate increased by [*]. The prepaid Service
                    amount for each transponder(s) taken under this Right-of-
                    First Refusal shall be determined at the time the additional
                    capacity is requested. For transponder Service requested on
                    or before 12/31/01, the prepaid Service amount will be
                    calculated based on an annual discount rate of [*]. For
                    Service requested after 12/31/01, the prepaid Service amount
                    will be calculated by discounting the applicable prices to
                    their NPV by utilizing a rate of interest, to be negotiated,
                    that is reflective of but not more than then current market
                    financial conditions.

           4.3       OPTION TO ADD CAPACITY SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

                     Subject to availability, beginning with the execution of
                     this Agreement through December 31, 2001, CUSTOMER may
                     request additional Ku-Band transponders on Telstar 7. Such
                     Additional Transponders:

                       (i)   must begin Service no later than sixty (60)
                             calendar days following CUSTOMER's request,
                       (ii)  must remain in Service through the Initial Term of
                             Service, and
                       (iii) may have their term of Service extended pursuant to
                             Section 3,

                     The monthly rate for each Non-Preemptible transponder(s)
                     taken under this Option To Add Capacity Subject To
                     Availability shall be $[*] and the monthly rate for each
                     Preemptible transponder(s) taken under this Option To Add
                     Capacity Subject To Availability shall be $[*]. CUSTOMER
                     may choose to pre-pay for transponders obtained under this
                     Option To Add Capacity Subject To Availability. The
                     prepaid Service amount for each Non-Preemptible and/or
                     Preemptible transponder(s) taken under this Option To Add
                     Capacity Subject to Availability shall be calculated at
                     the time the Additional Transponder(s) is requested. The
                     prepaid Service amount will be calculated to a NPV by
                     discounting the applicable monthly price by an annual
                     discount rate of [*].

      If any Additional Transponders ordered under this Section 4 are
      unavailable on the date that Service was scheduled to begin on such
      Additional Transponders, both parties may mutually agree upon a new start
      date for such Additional Transponders. If a new start date is not agreed
      upon, and such unavailability is due to circumstances within the control
      of SKYNET and SKYNET has not used all reasonable efforts to make the
      capacity available (such reasonable efforts may include, but not be
      limited to, petitioning a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable
      relief), SKYNET will pay CUSTOMER liquidated damages as set forth below in
      this Section 4. If a new start date is mutually agreed upon, SKYNET will
      not pay CUSTOMER liquidated damages.

      In the event liquidated damages are required to be paid by SKYNET to
      CUSTOMER, pursuant to this Section 4, such damages will be paid on a per
      diem basis and the per diem amount shall be calculated using two times the
      applicable transponder prices set forth in Section 4.3. Damages shall
      accrue commencing on the first day that Service on the unavailable
      Additional Transponders was scheduled to begin and shall continue

      7.1       The SKYNET Resale Option is offered by SKYNET to market
                CUSTOMER's full transponder capacity on a full or partial
                transponder basis, on behalf of CUSTOMER, to third parties

                available to SKYNET for resale by giving written notice to
                SKYNET. Such written notice must include the transponder(s)
                CUSTOMER wishes SKYNET to market and the time period during

                executed a contract for such capacity during the time
                period specified by CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER cannot use or
                resell any of such contracted capacity.

      7.3       SKYNET shall pay CUSTOMER [*] of the amount of money received by
                SKYNET for SKYNET Resale Option transponder usage. Such payment
                shall be provided to CUSTOMER within sixty (60) days of SKYNET
                receiving payment from such third parties.

      7.4       CUSTOMER is not entitled to pro rata refunds for any
                Prepaid Service Amount or any prepaid amount and is not
                released from their obligation to pay any applicable
                monthly rate for the SKYNET Resale Option transponders
                whether or not any SKYNET Resale Option transponders are
                booked by third parties and any revenue is received for
                such SKYNET Resale Option transponder(s), it being
                understood that CUSTOMER has no other obligation with
                respect to such transponders to the extent and for the
                period booked by the third party.

      7.5       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the period
                for which SKYNET accepts the SKYNET Resale Option
                transponder shall not be considered an Interruption or

3.   TYPES OF SERVICE

NON-PREEMPTIBLE SERVICE  (If Applicable)

         "Non-Preemptible" transponders are not protected in the event of
Failure as defined in Paragraph 4 below, and are not subject to preemption
(non-preemptible) to restore any other customers' protected service.

PREEMPTIBLE SERVICE  (If Applicable)

         "Preemptible" transponders are not protected in the event of Failure.
Preemptible transponders may be preempted on a permanent or temporary basis to
restore protected service. If CUSTOMER continues to use any Preemptible
transponder longer than five minutes following notification or attempted
notification by SKYNET of its preemption to restore a protected service, a
Preemption Notification Charge shall apply at the rate of $1,100.00 per minute,
or each fraction thereof, for each minute after such five minute period. For
purposes of notification concerning preemption of any Preemptible transponder,
CUSTOMER shall specify, in writing to SKYNET prior to the start of Service
provided under this Agreement, a telephone number or numbers where designated
CUSTOMER personnel may be reached by SKYNET. Such contact telephone number(s)
and Customer personnel shall remain in effect until further written notice is
given, if ever, by CUSTOMER, changing the designated contact telephone
number(s) and/or personnel. The five minute notification period specified above
shall begin to run from the time the telephone call is completed with the
CUSTOMER representative, or from the time of attempted notification of CUSTOMER
if there is no answer at the Customer designated telephone number. Nothing in
this Agreement shall prevent SKYNET from taking any action that it is required
by law to take in accordance with the provisions of Section 706 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 606. If a Preemptible
transponder is temporarily preempted, CUSTOMER will be credited for the period
of interrupted Service as follows: The effective rate of each Preemptible
transponder for the purposes of calculating credit due to preemption shall be
the monthly rate divided by the number of transponders being furnished at that
time. The actual amount credited shall be pro-rated based on the actual time
CUSTOMER is without the transponder service. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement, to the extent CUSTOMER does not comply with any permitted
preemption, SKYNET shall have the right to prevent CUSTOMER's use of the
preempted transponder, including SKYNET's right to deny, temporarily suspend,
or terminate the Service, with respect to the preemptible transponder,
permanently without further notice.

4.    TRANSPONDER INTERRUPTION / FAILURE / MONITORING

      4.1 Interruption - for the purpose of this Agreement; (i) an interruption
          ("Interruption") shall be defined as any period during which a
          transponder, fails to meet the performance parameters set forth in
          Exhibit A ("PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS") attached hereto and incorporated
          herein by reference, as measured at SKYNET's earth station in Hawley,
          Pennsylvania in

          accordance with the performance tests set forth in Exhibit A.

      4.2 Failure - for the purpose of this Agreement a failure ("Failure")
          shall be defined as any of the following:

          a)   the inability, for any period of sixty (60) consecutive minutes,
               to pass signals through a transponder when it is illuminated
               with any authorized transmitted carrier, or

          b)   an Interruption for any period of twenty four (24) consecutive
               hours, or

          c)   ten (10) or more Interruptions of at least one (1) minute or
               longer per occurrence within any period of thirty (30)
               consecutive days.

For purposes of this Paragraph 4, measurement of periods of Interruption or
Failure shall commence only upon CUSTOMER's written or verbal notification to
SKYNET's Hawley earth station and CUSTOMER having vacated its signal from the
affected transponder to permit SKYNET's verification of the existence of the
Interruption or Failure.

      4.3 Transponder Monitoring - SKYNET has notified CUSTOMER that a
          Communications Signal Monitoring ("CSM") System is being installed at
          the SKYNET Satellite Assurance Center. The CSM System will monitor
          the CUSTOMER transponder carrier parameters. The CUSTOMER may request
          reports regarding the transponder performance. SKYNET will make
          reasonable efforts to fulfill the CUSTOMER request based on the CSM
          capabilities.

          [*]

5.   RESTORATION OF A FAILED NON-PROTECTED TRANSPONDER

In the event of a Failure of any non-protected transponder, [*]. Such equipment
replacement will be permanent. SKYNET does not pre-assign spare equipment to
specific customers on the satellite, but reserves such equipment, subject to
availability, to restore its customers' service on an as needed basis. In no
event will non-protected service be given restoration priority over protected
service in the event of a simultaneous Failure. [*], then SKYNET may, in its
sole discretion, offer to restore the Service on an available transponder of the
same frequency band, having the same bandwidth and the same or different power
as the failed transponder, on the same satellite or on another SKYNET satellite
then in orbit. Such transponder will then become the non-protected transponder;
provided, however, if SKYNET offers to restore the affected transponder Service
on a satellite other than the satellite on which the failed transponder was
provided, then CUSTOMER may reject Service on such transponder with notice to
SKYNET within forty-eight (48) hours of SKYNET having offered such transponder
to CUSTOMER. If SKYNET does not restore or use reasonable efforts to restore
Service, or CUSTOMER rejects

such restoration, such Service on the affected transponder(s) will terminate as
of the moment of the Failure pursuant to Paragraph 17 of these General Terms
and Conditions.

6.   USE OF THE TRANSPONDER(S)

         The monthly rate as set forth in Section 2 of the Service Description
("METHOD OF PAYMENT, RATES AND TERMS OF SERVICE ") includes intrasatellite and
intersatellite transponder management for the uplink of carriers as set forth
in Section 6 of the Service Description ("TRANSPONDER LOADING") to each of the
transponders provided hereunder for each of their initial loading plan
("Initial Loading Plan").

For purposes of this Agreement the carriers will be classified and defined as
follows:

     (1)  Digital Carriers: A "Digital Carrier" is a radio signal whose carrier
          phase and or amplitude takes on discrete values during a modulation
          symbol in response to balanced amplitude modulation by a raised
          cosine filtered impulse train representing digital information for
          any purpose including but not limited to video, voice, or data.
          Digital Carrier types include Binary Phase Shift Keying, Quadrature
          Phase Shift Keying, 8 state Phase Shift Keying, and 16 state
          Quadrature Amplitude Modulation.

     (2)  FM Television Carriers: An "FM Television Carrier" is a radio signal
          whose carrier is modulated continuously in frequency or phase by a
          baseband video signal whose format, before any encryption or
          information compression technique, conforms to any video standard
          including, but not limited to, NTSC, PAL or SECAM.

     (3)  Other Types Of Carriers: For purposes of this Agreement "Other Types
          Of Carriers" are cases not covered under either "Digital Carriers" or
          "FM Television Carriers".

          If CUSTOMER desires to transmit to any transponder provided under
this Agreement in any manner different ("Different Loading Plan") than such
transponder's Initial Loading Plan, then the following shall apply:

     (i)  If the Different Loading Plan involves Digital Carriers, then
          CUSTOMER shall provide the Different Loading Plan to SKYNET no later
          than fourteen (14) days prior to the start date of such Different
          Loading Plan, identifying its characteristics. In the event that
          SKYNET is required to perform any maintenance or troubleshooting
          activity involving the affected transponder, CUSTOMER must furnish
          the Different Loading Plan on demand, and

     (ii) If the Different Loading Plan involves the addition of or changes to
          an FM Television Carrier or any Other Type Of Carrier, then CUSTOMER
          shall provide a written request to SKYNET, no less than sixty (60)
          days prior to the desired start date of such Different Loading Plan,
          identifying the characteristics, and the desired start date of such
          Different Loading Plan. SKYNET shall coordinate such proposed
          Different Loading Plan to determine if its use could reasonably be
          expected to result in either intrasatellite or intersatellite
          interference, and, based on the results of such coordination, SKYNET
          shall either authorize or reject the use of such proposed Different
          Loading

          Plan, in a timely fashion, in writing to CUSTOMER. Such authorization
          shall not be unreasonably withheld.

    (iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, CUSTOMER
          may obtain SKYNET's authorization for more than one Different Loading
          Plan for any transponder provided hereunder, for any period of time,
          during the term of this Agreement.

     (iv) In the event that CUSTOMER uplinks to any transponder in any manner
          different from that authorized by SKYNET ("Unauthorized Loading
          Plan"), SKYNET may, in its sole discretion, require CUSTOMER to
          discontinue the use of such Unauthorized Loading Plan until such time
          as SKYNET authorizes the use of such uplink.

7.   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     7.1  With respect to any claim or suit, by CUSTOMER or by any others, for
          damages associated with the installation, provision, termination,

           minute per affected transponder. In the event a failed transponder
           is not restored, or is not anticipated to be restored, within
           fifteen (15) days, the amount of the pro rata refund shall be the
           amount shown on the reimbursement table for the failed
           transponder(s) as set forth in Exhibit C ("REIMBURSEMENT TABLE").

           Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
           Agreement to the contrary, SKYNET shall be permitted to deduct from
           any pro rata refund, of the Prepaid Service Amount or any prepaid
           amount, otherwise due and payable to CUSTOMER, any amount that is
           predominantly a result of any of the following reasons:

           a.   Interruptions or Failures caused by the action or failure to
                act of CUSTOMER, or others authorized by CUSTOMER to use the
                affected transponder(s) and not pursuant to the directions of
                SKYNET;

           b.   Interruptions or Failures during periods when CUSTOMER does not
                vacate its signal from the affected transponder(s) or otherwise
                take such steps as are reasonably necessary, in SKYNET's sole
                discretion, to permit SKYNET's verification, within a
                reasonable time from SKYNET's direction to vacate or otherwise
                act, of the existence of an Interruption or Failure, or

           c.   Interruptions or Failures caused by the effects of sun transit
                on receiving earth stations.

           SKYNET shall pay any refund due hereunder within thirty (30) days of
           the last day of the month in which the Interruption or Failure
           occurred. Any amount due pursuant to this Agreement which is not
           paid within thirty (30) business days of its due date shall bear
           interest at the rate of 1% per month calculated from the date
           payment was due until the date payment is received.

9.2      CREDIT ALLOWANCES

         In the event CUSTOMER is paying for Service on a monthly basis, credit
         allowances, shall be given to CUSTOMER by SKYNET for Interruptions of
         fifteen (15) minutes or more and/or Failures as defined in Paragraph 4
         hereof. These credit allowances will be applied against future
         payments or in the event of such Interruption or Failure during the
         final month of Service will result in a refund equal to the amount of
         the credit allowance. The calculation of such credit allowance is
         based on the actual number of days in a given month. Credit allowances
         are given for each incidence of Interruption or Failure of more than
         fifteen (15) minutes and are given in one-minute increments,
         commencing at the start of the Interruption or Failure. Specific one
         minute Credit Allowances will be calculated based on the monthly
         charge for the affected transponder. Credit Allowances will not be
         given for Interruptions or Failures that are a result of any of the
         following reasons:

         (a)     Interruptions or Failures caused by the action or failure to
                 act of CUSTOMER or others authorized by CUSTOMER to use the
                 affected transponder and not pursuant to the directions of
                 SKYNET.

         (b)     Interruptions or Failures during periods when CUSTOMER elects
                 not to release the affected transponder for testing.

         (c)     Interruptions or Failures due to the effects of sun transit on
                 receiving earth stations.

10.  CONTENT OF TRANSMISSIONS

         CUSTOMER is solely responsible for the content of transmissions using
the transponder and related Service.

11.  SCRAMBLING

         Prior to commencing use of the Service provided under this Agreement,
CUSTOMER, at its expense, shall provide SKYNET with any unscrambling devices
that may be required for signal monitoring. CUSTOMER shall not use, or allow
the use of, the Service provided hereunder for distribution of program material
of a patently offensive, indecent sexual or adult-oriented nature, to
television viewers unless the programming is scrambled such that television
viewers can receive the programming only through the use of an unscrambler
authorized by CUSTOMER or CUSTOMER's authorized agent. It is expressly agreed
that the provision of Internet service is not the "distribution of program
material to television viewers".

12.  REFUSAL OF SERVICE

         SKYNET may terminate, prevent or restrict any communications using the
Service provided hereunder as a means of transmission if such actions (1) are
undertaken at the direction of an authorized governmental agency or court with
jurisdiction (including the Commission) or (2) are taken subsequent to an
indictment against SKYNET, CUSTOMER or any permitted assignees, any legal
entity affiliated with any of them, or any of SKYNET's directors, officers,
agents or

employees, or permitted assignees or the Affiliates of either party, based
predominantly upon the content of such communications, other than civil
proceedings ("Refusal Proceedings"). However, any such termination, prevention
or restriction shall be limited to the extent that SKYNET determines is
necessary to comply with the direction of the governmental agency or court or
pursuant to the aforementioned proceeding and / or indictment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, SKYNET will not terminate, prevent or restrict CUSTOMER's
transmissions pursuant to such clause if, immediately upon notification by
SKYNET to CUSTOMER of the institution of such Refusal Proceedings, CUSTOMER is
able to satisfy SKYNET, subject to SKYNET's sole and reasonable discretion,
that within forty-eight (48) hours the aforementioned proceedings will be
resolved to SKYNET's satisfaction or if not so resolved, that CUSTOMER shall
cause the relevant transmissions to terminate in the relevant jurisdiction and
that they will not re-occur in the relevant jurisdiction.

13.  ASSIGNMENT / RESALE

     13.1 ASSIGNMENT

          CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, CUSTOMER shall not transfer or assign any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any third parties without
SKYNET's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent not prohibited by rule, regulation or law, in the
event CUSTOMER desires to assign any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement to any of the following entities set forth in Exhibit D, attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("List of Approved Assignees and
Approved Recipients of Confidential Information"), CUSTOMER is approved to do
so. Exhibit D may be updated from time to time by mutual agreement of SKYNET
and CUSTOMER. SKYNET expressly shall have the right to assign this Agreement
including its rights, duties and obligations hereunder, to its parent
corporation or any present or future affiliate or subsidiary of SKYNET, or in
connection with the merger or acquisition of its satellite business.

     13.2 RESALE

          Without limiting the Resale Option under Section 7 of the Service
Description to which these Terms and Conditions are attached, CUSTOMER or
ASSIGNEE may resell the Service, in whole or in part, to a third party, without
obtaining SKYNET's prior consent, provided such resale contains a value added
component and is not the resale of bare transponder capacity.

Except as provided for above in this Paragraph 13.2, to the extent not
otherwise prohibited by rule, regulation or law, in the event CUSTOMER or any
ASSIGNEE desires to resell all or any part of the Service to a third party,
CUSTOMER OR ASSIGNEE may not do so without SKYNET's consent, which will not be
unreasonably withheld. In order for CUSTOMER or ASSIGNEE to obtain SKYNET's
consent, CUSTOMER or ASSIGNEE must notify SKYNET in writing no less than thirty
(30) days prior to the scheduled date of such resale, that it has an agreement
to permit a third party to use all or any part of the Service. Such notice
shall include the name of resale customer, quantity of transponders and term of
the prospective agreement. SKYNET shall notify CUSTOMER or ASSIGNEE in writing
within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the aforementioned notification,
advising CUSTOMER or ASSIGNEE of SKYNET's decision to either permit the resale
to such third party, or not to permit the resale. CUSTOMER or ASSIGNEE, as
applicable, shall be solely

responsible for any permitted resale and shall indemnify and hold SKYNET
harmless for any claim or liability for damages made by any third party in
connection with such resale. In the event SKYNET does not permit the proposed
resale, SKYNET will provide a refund to CUSTOMER for the applicable
transponder(s), pursuant to Paragraph 9 ("PRO RATA REFUNDS") and Exhibit C
("REIMBURSEMENT TABLE"). With respect to monthly paid Service, in the event
SKYNET does not permit the proposed resale, CUSTOMER may terminate Service on
the applicable transponder(s) without liability for payment, except for Service
already received.

14.  NON-INTERFERENCE

         CUSTOMER's radio transmissions (and those of its uplinking agents) to
the satellite shall comply, in all material respects, with all FCC and all
other governmental (whether international, federal, state, municipal, or
otherwise) statutes, laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, directives
and orders, of any such governmental agency, body, or court (collectively
"Laws") applicable to it regarding the operation of the satellite, transponder,
and any backup transponders to which CUSTOMER is given access pursuant to this
Agreement and shall not interfere with the use of any other transponder or
cause physical harm to the transponder, any backup transponder to which
CUSTOMER is given access pursuant to this Agreement, any other transponders, or
to the satellite on which the transponder is located. Further, CUSTOMER will
coordinate with (and will require its uplinking agents to coordinate with)
SKYNET, in accordance with procedures reasonably established by SKYNET and
uniformly applied to all users of transponders on the satellite, its
transmissions to the satellite, so as to minimize adjacent channel and adjacent
satellite interference. For purposes of this Paragraph 14, interference shall
also mean acts or omissions, which cause a transponder to fail to meet its
transponder performance parameters set forth in Exhibit A. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, CUSTOMER (and its uplinking agents) shall comply
with all FCC rules and regulations regarding use of automatic transmitter
identification systems (ATIS).

15.  IMPROPER ILLUMINATION

         Transmission parameters are as set forth in Exhibit E ("TRANSMISSION
PARAMETERS"), attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. "Improper
Illumination" shall include transmissions that are other than as described in
Exhibit E, transmissions at an incorrect frequency, transmissions at excessive
power levels, mis-pointing, incorrect polarization, incorrect bandwidth or
incorrect power spectral density, any or all of which can cause harm or
interference to any transponder or to any satellite. In the event SKYNET, in its
sole and reasonable judgment, believes CUSTOMER is causing Improper Illumination

         on a monthly basis, CUSTOMER will have the right to terminate the
         Service on the affected transponder(s) without additional liability
         for such termination. CUSTOMER will be required to pay for Service
         received on the affected transponder(s) prior to the termination.

    17.2 In the event of a breach, by either party, of any of the material
         terms, conditions, representations or warranties contained herein;
         provided, however that the non-breaching party shall provide the
         breaching party with thirty (30) days written notice of termination,
         which notice period may be used by the breaching party to cure its
         breach such that the non-breaching party may not terminate this
         Agreement under this Paragraph 17.1.

    17.3 In the event of a breach by SKYNET that is not cured as described
         above, CUSTOMER will have the right to terminate and elect a refund of
         the then current reimbursement value as set forth in Exhibit C
         ("REIMBURSEMENT TABLE").

    17.4 In the event CUSTOMER orders the discontinuance of Service effective
         on any date prior to the termination date set forth in Section 2 of

         17.2 above, or if this Agreement is terminated by SKYNET due to a
         CUSTOMER breach of this Agreement that is not cured as described
         above, SKYNET will retain all prepaid amounts, including the Prepaid
         Service Amount and, in the event Service is being obtained on a
         monthly paid basis, CUSTOMER will be liable for all remaining monthly
         charges. Remaining monthly charges, if applicable, shall be due and
         payable upon receipt by CUSTOMER of an invoice for such charges.
         Remaining monthly charges apply regardless of whether or not Service
         has begun and are in addition to any other rights SKYNET may have
         hereunder.

18.  CHANGES IN OPERATIONS OR PROCEDURES

Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing SKYNET from changing its
operations or procedures only as required: (i) to comply with changes mandated
by any authorized government agency with jurisdiction, (ii) as a result of
inter-satellite coordination (iii) to switch equipment as required to protect
the health of the satellite, (iv) for transmission path component replacement,
(v) to move the satellite for debris avoidance, (vi) for CUSTOMER application
specific coordination changes or (vii) to modify uplink operation to protect
the health of the satellite. SKYNET is not responsible to CUSTOMER if any such
changes in operations, procedures, or Transmission Parameters (I) affects any
facilities, CUSTOMER equipment or CUSTOMER communications system in any way, or
(ii) requires their modification in order to be used with any transponder
provided pursuant to this Agreement. However, if such changes can be reasonably
expected to materially affect the operating or transmission characteristics of
the Service, or render any CUSTOMER equipment or CUSTOMER communications system
incompatible with the Service, SKYNET shall use reasonable efforts to provide
adequate notice, in writing, to allow CUSTOMER an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted Service. However, if both parties agree that such changes would
materially affect CUSTOMER's use of the Service, CUSTOMER with respect to
monthly paid Service, shall have the right, at its option, within sixty (60)
days after its receipt of notice of such change, and upon thirty (30) days'
notice to SKYNET, to terminate this Agreement without liability except for such
Service as has already been rendered. Provided, however, if SKYNET eliminates
such material effects within the thirty (30) day notice period, this Agreement
will not terminate. However, if both parties agree to such change(s), SKYNET
shall reimburse CUSTOMER for all actual, reasonable and documented costs
incurred to implement SKYNET required changes, to a maximum of [*] in the
CUSTOMER's operations, procedures, or Transmission Parameters, except if such
changes are mandated by an authorized government agency with jurisdiction.

       In the event this Agreement is terminated, in whole or in part, pursuant
to this Paragraph 18, CUSTOMER, with respect to the any prepaid amount,
including the Prepaid Service Amount, shall receive a refund for the affected
transponder(s) based on the then current reimbursement value, as set forth in
Exhibit C ("REIMBURSEMENT TABLE"). SKYNET shall have no obligation to change or
modify any of its components, operations or procedures to be compatible with
CUSTOMER.

19.  TRANSPONDER ASSIGNMENT

       Assignment of the specific transponders and/or satellites to be used for
the Service remains the sole prerogative of SKYNET. During the term of this

assignments, but shall do so only if there is an operational concern,
interference caused by CUSTOMER, in order to introduce a new replacement
satellite or, in order to protect the health of the satellite on which Service
is being provided. SKYNET shall discuss any proposed reassignment of
transponders with CUSTOMER and make all reasonable effort to provide CUSTOMER
with at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to the effective date of
any such reassignment. Upon the effectiveness of such assignment change, the
CUSTOMER must vacate the previously occupied frequencies.

20.  FCC COMPLIANCE

     20.1 If, at any time SKYNET can no longer comply fully with the provisions
          of this Agreement because of Commission rules and regulations which
          are inconsistent with this Agreement, CUSTOMER may either (1)
          terminate immediately this Agreement without any liability whatever
          by giving notice in writing within sixty (60) days of such action or
          (2) negotiate with SKYNET so to modify this Agreement as to conform
          with the new commission rules and regulations. If CUSTOMER elects to
          terminate in such event, SKYNET shall refund promptly any sums
          previously paid to SKYNET for Service not rendered, in accordance
          with Exhibit C ("REIMBURSEMENT TABLE").

     20.2 SKYNET agrees that for so long as this Agreement is in effect, it
          will neither voluntarily file, nor cause a third party to file
          voluntarily, any proposed tariff with the Commission, and will not
          voluntarily make commission filings with the Commission that are in
          any way inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

21.  NO POSSESSORY INTEREST, BANKRUPTCY

     21.1 CUSTOMER has, and will have, no possessory or other interest in the
          transponder(s) provided pursuant to this Agreement. CUSTOMER
          acknowledges that: (1) it has been advised of and fully understands
          the conditions and the consideration pursuant to which SKYNET
          provides and CUSTOMER accepts the Service and (2) the rates for the
          Service, as well as the termination charges as provided for in
          Paragraph 17 of these General Terms and Conditions ("TERMINATION"),
          are fair and reasonable at the market on the date of commitment to
          the Service and the date of this Agreement.

     21.2 With respect to Service that is paid for an a monthly basis, CUSTOMER
          recognizes that transponder space for the provision of the Service
          contemplated under this Agreement is a commodity in limited supply
          and that those using full time transponder service, similar to the
          Service provided under this Agreement, usually enter into long-term
          commitments with service providers. Therefore, CUSTOMER understands
          that its acceptance of the Service precludes SKYNET from accepting
          any other customer for service on the transponder(s) being used to
          provide Service to Customer during the term of this Agreement,
          including any Extended Term of Service. Because of this, CUSTOMER
          concedes, solely in the context of and for the purpose of bankruptcy
          proceedings and for no other purpose hereunder or otherwise, that a
          failure to fulfill CUSTOMER's obligations as a result of its filing

          for bankruptcy under this Agreement would irreparably harm SKYNET.
          Therefore, in the event of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding on
          the part of CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER agrees, subject to applicable law,
          that it will petition any relevant court for prompt action to accept
          or reject this Agreement, and to authorize the scheduled payments in
          full, prior to resolution of matters affecting this Agreement.

22.  THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES / INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

         Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by either party
hereto or by any third party to create any rights, obligations, or interests in
any third party, or to create any association, partnership, joint venture, the
relation of principal and agent, the relation of employer and employee, or any
fiduciary relationship of any kind between the parties hereto, it being
understood that SKYNET shall perform all services hereunder as an independent
contractor.

23.  PUBLICITY AND ADVERTISING

     23.1 CUSTOMER shall not in any way or in any form publicize or advertise
          in any manner the fact that it is obtaining Services from SKYNET
          pursuant to this Agreement, without the express written approval
          (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of SKYNET, obtained in
          advance, for each item of such advertising or publicity. The
          foregoing prohibition shall include but not be limited to news
          releases, letters, correspondence, literature, promotional materials
          or displays of any nature or form. Each request for approval
          hereunder shall be submitted in writing to the representative
          designated in writing by SKYNET; and approval, in each instance,
          shall be effective only if in writing and signed by said
          representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CUSTOMER may refer to
          the fact that it is securing Services from SKYNET without SKYNET's
          prior approval so long as such statements are limited to a statement
          of such fact and are not an endorsement of any product or service by
          SKYNET.

     23.2 SKYNET shall not in any way or in any form publicize or advertise in
          any manner the fact that it is providing Services to CUSTOMER
          pursuant to this Agreement, without the express written approval
          (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of CUSTOMER, obtained in
          advance, for each item of advertising or publicity. The foregoing
          prohibition shall include but not be limited to news releases,
          letters, correspondence, literature, promotional materials or
          displays of any nature or form. Each request for approval hereunder
          shall be submitted in writing to the representative designated in
          writing by CUSTOMER; and approval, in each instance, shall be
          effective only if in writing and signed by said representative.
          Nothing herein shall prevent SKYNET from providing the FCC or any
          other governmental agency, information concerning this Agreement as
          required by Law or in response to a request for information by such
          governmental agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SKYNET may refer
          to the fact that it is providing the Service to CUSTOMER without
          CUSTOMER's prior approval so long as such statements are limited to a
          statement of such fact and are not an endorsement of any product or
          service by CUSTOMER.

information contained herein, (2) as a part of normal accounting and auditing
procedures, (3) to each party's parent company, or (4) to a bona fide potential

25.  NONDISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

     25.1 Each Party to this Agreement may find it beneficial to disclose to
          the other Party documentation or other information which the
          disclosing Party considers proprietary ("Information"). Such
          Information may include but is not limited to, engineering, hardware,
          software or other technical information concerning the project or the
          SKYNET network, and financial, accounting or marketing reports,
          analysis, forecasts, predictions or projections relating to this
          project or the business of SKYNET or CUSTOMER generally.

     25.2 It is specifically understood and agreed that Information disclosed
          pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered proprietary either
          because 1) it has been developed internally by the disclosing Party,
          or because 2) it has been received by the disclosing Party subject to
          a continuing obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the
          Information.

     25.3 Information that is provided in a tangible form shall be marked in a
          manner to indicate that it is considered proprietary or otherwise
          subject to limited distributions provided herein. If the Information
          is provided orally, the disclosing party shall clearly identify it as
          being proprietary at the time of disclosure, and within thirty (30)
          working days of such disclosure, confirm the disclosure in writing to
          the other party. With respect to Information, the Party to whom the
          Information is disclosed and its employees shall:

          a.  hold the Information in confidence and protect it in accordance
              with the security regulations by which it protects its own
              proprietary or confidential information, which it does not wish
              to disclose; but in no event should the level of protection be
              less than reasonable care.

          b.  restrict disclosure of the Information solely to those employees
              with a need to know and not disclose it to any other persons;

          c.  advise those employees of their obligations with respect to the
              Information; and

          d.  use the Information only in connection with implementing this
              Agreement and in continuing discussions and negotiations between
              the parties

              concerning the Service, except as may otherwise be
              agreed upon in writing.

     25.4 The party to whom Information is disclosed shall have no obligations
          to preserve the proprietary nature of any Information that:

          a.  was previously known to it free of any obligations to keep it
              confidential;

          b.  is disclosed to third parties by the disclosing party without
              restriction;

          c.  is or becomes publicly available by other than unauthorized
              disclosure; or

          d.  is independently developed by the receiving party.

     25.5 The receiving party may disclose the Information pursuant to a court
          order or other governmental or regulatory compulsion provided that
          the disclosing party shall be given prompt notice of the receipt of
          such order or other compulsion

     25.6 The receiving party agrees that all of its obligations undertaken
          under this non-disclosure agreement shall survive and continue after
          any termination of this Agreement.

         The Information shall be deemed the property of the disclosing party
and, upon request the other party will return all Information that is in
tangible form to the disclosing party or destroy all such information.

26.  WAIVERS

         A waiver by either party of any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement in any instance shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of
such term or condition for the future, or of any subsequent breach thereof.

the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict of law principles.

30.  RETIREMENT OF SATELLITE

         SKYNET shall be entitled to retire the serving satellite without
liability (i) if fifty percent (50%) or more of the transponders on the
satellite have failed or are unusable for any reason; (ii) in the event that
the satellite's station-keeping fuel, required to meet + /- 0.05 degrees,
becomes depleted to a level sufficient only to ensure removal of the serving
satellite from its assigned orbital position; (iii) if required to do so by any

                                                                  8/31/00

governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction; or (iv) if SKYNET
reasonably determines that A(ii) above can be delayed by moving such serving
satellite into an inclined orbit; or (v) if special circumstances require
retirement, and such FCC authority as is required for retirement is obtained.

           SKYNET will use all reasonable efforts to provide CUSTOMER written
notice of a decision to retire the serving satellite prior to the expiration of
this Agreement as far in advance of the date of retirement as circumstances
allow. Upon retirement of the serving satellite, all subsequent performance
obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate and SKYNET
shall refund promptly any sums previously paid to SKYNET for Service not
rendered, in accordance with Exhibit C ("REIMBURSEMENT TABLE"). With respect to
monthly paid Service, upon retirement of the serving satellite, all subsequent
performance obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate,
except that CUSTOMER shall be liable to pay for Service that has already been
rendered to CUSTOMER by SKYNET. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of
the retirement of a satellite the terms of Paragraph 5 of these General Terms
and Conditions ("RESTORATION OF A FAILED TRANSPONDER") will apply.

SKYNET reserves the right to deploy a replacement satellite. In the event
SKYNET offers Service on such replacement satellite which meets all Performance
Parameters set forth in Exhibit A ("PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS") and CUSTOMER
Service requirements, this Agreement will not terminate. In the event SKYNET
has put into Service a replacement satellite which does not meet all CUSTOMER
Service requirements, CUSTOMER will have the option to retain Service on such
replacement satellite as described in this Agreement or terminate this
Agreement without additional liability on the part of either party and receive
a refund of any sums previously paid to SKYNET for Service not rendered, in
accordance with Exhibit C ("REIMBURSEMENT TABLE"). With respect to monthly paid
Service, in the event, SKYNET has put into service a replacement satellite
which does not meet all CUSTOMER Service requirements, CUSTOMER will have the
option to retain Service as described in this Agreement or terminate this
Agreement without additional liability on the part of either party, except that
CUSTOMER shall be liable to pay for Service that has already been rendered to
CUSTOMER by SKYNET.

31.  PAYMENT OF MONTHLY CHARGES

         In the event Service is furnished on a monthly paid basis, a monthly
charge will apply for each month or fraction thereof that Service is furnished.
Monthly charges start on the first day the Service begins pursuant to Section 2
of the Service Description ("METHOD OF PAYMENT AND RATE"). Charges accrue
through and include the day that the Service is discontinued. When the billing
date and the date that the Service is started, changed, or discontinued do not
coincide, the charges will be adjusted to reflect the fractional part of the
month involved. Any day or part thereof in which Service is provided shall be
considered a full day. Any Service provided in a day (beginning and ending as
determined by Greenwich Mean Time ("GMT") shall be considered to have been
rendered for a full day. Partial monthly billing is based on the actual number
of days in each month. Monthly charges will be billed during the first week of
each month in which Service is being provided; payment is due on or before the
first day of the following month, as specified on the bill. Monthly paid
Service may be discontinued for nonpayment of a bill ten (10) days beyond
CUSTOMER's receipt of notice of payment past due. All payments by CUSTOMER to
SKYNET shall be made in U.S. dollars and shall be deemed to be made upon
receipt of collected funds by SKYNET. Any and all transfer, exchange or

<PAGE>   36

                                                                  8/31/00

similar fees associated with the payment of the bill are the responsibility of
the CUSTOMER.

32.  SECURITY PAYMENT

         The amount of the required security payment and the date due are as
specified in Section 2.1 of the Service Description ("METHOD OF PAYMENT AND
RATE"). Failure to remit such required security payment in a timely manner
shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement. Such deposit will be
held as a guarantee for the payment of any or all charges due hereunder. This
security deposit does not relieve CUSTOMER of the responsibility for the prompt
payment of bills upon presentation. The security deposit will be held by SKYNET
and applied to CUSTOMER's final bill(s). All of the security deposit amount,
held in cash by SKYNET, in excess of the last billed amounts will be refunded
to CUSTOMER upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

Simple interest at the rate of six percent annually will be paid to CUSTOMER
for the period that a cash deposit is held by SKYNET. However, if the
appropriate legal authority in the state where CUSTOMER's office, responsible
for bill payment is located, establishes a different rate of interest, then
that rate will apply.

33.  INTEREST ON LATE PAYMENTS

     Any late payments by CUSTOMER of amounts due and payable hereunder
(including, but not limited to, specified payments, damages, and
indemnification) to SKYNET shall be with interest at the rate of eighteen
percent (18%) per annum, or the highest legally permissible rate of interest,
whichever is lower, and all interest or discounting shall be compounded on a
monthly basis. Such late payments, including interest, shall be payable with
the amount due and calculated from the date payment was due until the date it
is received by SKYNET.

34.  EXPORT CONTROL

         CUSTOMER will not use, distribute, transfer or transmit any products,
software or technical information (even if incorporated into other products)
provided under this Agreement except in compliance with U.S. export laws and
regulations (the "Export Laws"). CUSTOMER will not, directly or indirectly,
export or re-export the following items to any country which is in the then
current list of prohibited countries specified in the applicable Export Laws:
(a) software or technical data disclosed or provided to CUSTOMER by SKYNET or
SKYNET's subsidiaries or affiliates; or (b) the direct product of such software
or technical data. CUSTOMER agrees to promptly inform SKYNET in writing of any
written authorization issued by the U.S. Department of State office of export
licensing to export or re-export any such items referenced in (a) or (b).
CUSTOMER also will not, without the prior written consent of SKYNET, export or
re-export, directly or indirectly, any technical data or software furnished
hereunder from the country in which SKYNET first provided the technical data or
software to CUSTOMER hereunder, except to the United States. The obligations
stated above in this clause will survive the expiration, cancellation or
termination of this Agreement or any other related agreement.

35.  ARBITRATION

         All disputes arising in connection with the present Agreement shall be
finally settled under the Rules of Conciliation

and Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules") by one or
more arbitrators appointed in accordance with said AAA Rules. The arbitration
shall take place in New York City, United States of America, and shall be
conducted in English. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive (not the
conflicts) law of the state specified in the choice of law provision set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall not limit, expand or modify
the terms of this Agreement nor award damages in excess of compensatory
damages, and each party waives any claim to such excess damages. The award
shall be in United States dollars. Judgement upon the award rendered in the
arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each Party
shall bear its own expenses (including attorney's fees) and an equal share of
the expenses of the arbitrator and the fees of the arbitration. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to preclude any party from seeking injunctive
relief in order to protect its rights pending arbitration. A request by a party
to a court for such injunctive relief shall not be deemed a waiver of the
obligation to arbitrate.

DOWNLINK EIRP AND UPLINK G/T

The downlink EIRP and uplink G/T is shown in earth coverage maps. All values
are at EOL.

SATURATION FLUX DENSITY

Saturation Flux Density (SFD) is related to G/T by the equation:

                SFD = A - G/T + P

Where SFD = SFD in dBW/m(2)
             A = Transponder Dependent Constant
           G/T = system G/T in dB/K
             P = Pad Attenuator Setting in dB

The value of A for a specific transponder, and the transponder's G/T coverage
map shall be used to determine the SFD at a given location.  The values for "A"
are listed below.

DEFINITION OF INTERRUPTION USING ABSOLUTE TRANSPONDER REFERENCE PERFORMANCE.

This definition of Interruption will be used from the beginning of the contract
period until the time when Loral Skynet and the CUSTOMER have decided to use a
Signal Monitoring System for the purpose of determining an Interruption. The
Transponder Reference Performance values consist of the values for G/T, EIRP,
and SFD) that would be measured by a calibrated In-Orbit Test Set over an earth
station located at Hawley, Pennsylvania. These values are listed in the
following Table.

                        Ku-BAND TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS

Adherence to the following transmission parameters is necessary to obtain
proper system performance and to ensure that the transmissions from the ground
segment targeted for a particular transponder do not adversely affect the
transmissions through other transponders.

A.    TRANSMITTED CARRIERS - The transmitted carrier(s) for 36 MHz transponders
      shall be within accepted industry standards and shall be confined to the
      usable bandwidth of 36 MHz centered on the transponder center frequency,
      unless otherwise assigned.

B.    CARRIER DISPERSAL/POWER DENSITY - The Transmitted carrier power density
      shall not exceed -- [*] at the transmit antenna flange. The EIRP
      density of downlink carriers shall not exceed + [*].

C.    TRANSMIT POWER - SKYNET shall authorize a particular transmit power by a
      transmitting earth station. For transponders operating in the saturated
      mode, this authorized power shall normally be that power necessary to
      saturate the transponder and shall not be exceeded by more than 2dB. For
      transponders operating in a mode where the power is backed off below
      saturation, this authorized transmit power shall not be exceeded. During
      rain fades an earth station may automatically adjust the transmit power
      authorized by SKYNET by the amount necessary to overcome the additional
      uplink loss caused by the rain.

D.    POLARIZATION ISOLATION (TRANSMITTING SMALL ANTENNA CUSTOMER EARTH
      STATION)-Isolation between orthogonal cross-polarized signals shall be
      greater than or equal to [*] anywhere within the transmit pattern where
      the transmit co-polarized gain is no more than 0.5dB below the peak
      transmit co-polarized gain. In addition, isolation between orthogonal
      cross polarized signals shall be greater than or equal to [*] anywhere
      within the transmit pattern where the transmit co-polarized gain is no
      more than 1.0 dB below the peak transmit co-polarized gain.

E.    POLARIZATION ISOLATION (TRANSMITTING HUB EARTH STATION)- Isolation
      between orthogonal cross polarized signals shall be at least [*] in the
      band 14 to 14.5 GHz within a cone angle of (0.25Theta) where theta is the
      half-power beamwidth of the main beam. The polarization adjustment of the
      earth station antenna relative to the satellite shall be maintained to an
      accuracy of +/- 1.0 degree.

DEFINITIONS

         NETWORK CONTROL CENTER (NCC)

         The NCC of GTH provides master management and control means for the
         network through the Network Management System (NMS). This is also the
         site of the Hub uplink RF equipment. It is manned 24 hours a day, 7
         days a week and located in Marietta, GA.

         "GREEN" VSAT

         This term refers to a VSAT that is in order, locked on the Hub signal
         and responds properly to regular hub commands.

         "RED" VSAT

         This term refers to a VSAT that, from the NMS perspective is out of
         order and can't be controlled by the NMS. This includes also a VSAT
         that was turned off by the customer.

         [*]

         CUSTOMER DATABASE

         GTH will maintain a database listing the zip codes of all earth
         stations. A tool will be in place which converts the address into
         longitude and latitude. Earth station locations will be retained in
         the database even when service has been terminated if the customer
         antenna is left in place.
