      Date to the Expiry Date on the terms and conditions set out in this
      Contract.

2.2   The Customer will deliver the Customer Signals to BT at the International
      Gateway.

Playboy Eurobird contract channel 2        Page 4 of 23
<PAGE>

2.3   The Customer must ensure that the Customer Signals comply with Schedule 1,
      part E -Specifications and Limitations of Customer Signals, so that they
      do not cause any damage, loss or interference to the Earth Segment or
      Space Segment Facilities, or to other services.

2.4   The Customer is responsible for the content of the Broadcast Service, even
      if the Customer is not the creator of the material comprised in such
      content.

2.5   The Customer is responsible for obtaining all necessary consents from
      relevant authorities in, and must observe the applicable laws of, any
      country where the Broadcast Service is transmitted and/or received.

2.6   When using the Service the Customer must not use, or permit any other
      person to use, the Service contrary to any applicable legislation, codes,
      mandatory rules or regulations either in the UK or any other country as
      applicable and, in particular, must comply, in the UK with any applicable
      obligations under the Broadcasting Act 1990 and the Independent Television
      Commission Codes of Practice (including any successor legislation or
      codes).

2.7   Use of the Service in contravention of Clauses 2.5 or 2.6 is a breach of
      Contract by the Customer. If in BT's reasonable opinion BT is potentially
      exposed, to civil or criminal liability, or is likely to be exposed to an
      action taken by any competent regulatory authority, BT may on giving
      notice to the Customer of the breach suspend the Service under Clause 6.

2.8   BT reserves the right to interrupt the Service for necessary maintenance,
      adjustments or repair. BT will, except in case of emergency, give
      reasonable prior written notice to the Customer of such interruption. BT
      shall ensure and procure that any such interruption shall be kept to a
      minimum and shall advise the Customer of the expected duration of such
      interruption.

3.    The Charge for the Service

3.1   The Customer agrees to pay the Charge for the Service from the OSD until
      the Expiry Date.

3.2   The Customer will pay the Charge in equal monthly instalments except for
      the first and last months, which will be calculated on a pro-rata time
      basis by BT.

3.3   BT will invoice the Customer not less than 30 days before the Due Date. BT
      must receive payment of the monthly instalment in full (together with
      payment of VAT or other taxes as appropriate) by the Due Date. BT may
      charge interest upon the sum outstanding from the Due Date and suspend
      Service or Terminate in accordance with the relevant provisions of this
      Contract. Such interest will be at a rate of four (4) per cent per annum
      above the base-lending rate from time-to-time of HSBC Bank compounded on a
      monthly basis and will accrue on a daily basis.

3.4   The Charge and any other sums payable are exclusive of United Kingdom
      Value Added Tax (VAT), fees, surcharges and any other taxes. Invoices
      payable under this Contract are subject to the addition of VAT, fees,
      surcharges and any other taxes where appropriate.

3.5   The Customer will pay the Charge and any other sums payable under the
      Contract without set off, counter claim or other deductions by the method
      as set out in Schedule 2.

4.    Unavailability of the Service

4.1   The parties agree to comply with the Fault Reporting Procedures as
      attached at Schedule 3. The Service will be regarded as Unavailable during
      the term of the Contract in the following circumstances:

      4.1.1 total loss of the Service;

      4.1.2 degradation of the Service below the parameters set out in Schedule
            1;

      4.1.3 routine testing or maintenance.

      and "Unavailable" and "Unavailability" will be construed accordingly.

4.2   For the avoidance of doubt, the Service shall not be regarded as
      Unavailable during any periods where the Customer Signals are unavailable
      or degraded.

5.    Credits

5.1   BT will allow a credit to the Customer for any period of Unavailability as
      defined in Clause 4 above except where such Unavailability is due to one
      or more of the following:

      5.1.1 Any act or omission of, or a request by, the Customer, its
            employees, agents or contractors including but not limited to
            failure to deliver the Customer Signals (including the Broadcast
            Service) for whatever reason; or

      5.1.2 The Service is degraded due to sun outage or adverse weather
            conditions.

5.2   Periods of Unavailability will be measured in minutes from the time such
      Unavailability is reported to BT by the Customer or such other time if
      earlier when the Unavailability becomes known to BT until the time the
      Service is restored to the parameters specified in Schedule 1.

5.3   Credits will be calculated by taking the total amount of minutes as
      measured in Clause 5.2 above and multiplying them by the pro rata minute
      rate as defined in Schedule 2.

5.4   BT will issue a credit note for the amount as calculated in Clause 5.3
      above and such credit will be applied to the applicable invoice and will
      reduce the outstanding balance on the Customer's account at the date of
      such issue.

5.5   Credits are in full and final settlement of any claim arising for any
      period of Unavailability.

6.    Suspension by BT

6.1   BT may (without prejudice to any other right or remedy) suspend the
      Service:

      6.1.1 on giving the Customer seven (7) days written notice if BT does not
            receive the payment of the Charge in full within 30 days of the Due
            Date together with any interest due;

      6.1.2 immediately by written notice if the Customer commits a substantial
            breach of this Contract; or

      6.1.3 immediately by written notice if any of the events which are grounds
            for suspension under Clause 2.7 occur.

      Suspension will continue until the grounds for suspension are removed to
      BT's reasonable satisfaction or BT terminates the Contract pursuant to the
      terms herein.

6.2   The Customer remains liable to pay the Charges during any period of
      suspension and, for the avoidance of doubt, no credits are payable by BT
      to the Customer for any such period of suspension.

7.    Termination by the Customer

7.1   The Customer may terminate this Contract before the Expiry Date for
      Unavailability (save for where such Unavailability is due to the reasons
      given in Clause 5.1.1, 5.1.2 or an event of Force Majeure) immediately by
      written notice to BT:

      7.1.1 subject to Clause 7.1.2 below, where such Unavailability has
            continued for a single continuous period of 15 days or sooner when
            it is agreed by both parties that such Unavailability will continue
            for longer than 15 days from the day it started;

      7.1.2 where such Unavailability is due to a failure of the Space Segment,

            continued for a single continuous period of 30 days.

7.2   The Customer may terminate this Contract before the Expiry Date by written
      notice to BT if BT commits a substantial breach of this Contract (other
      than matters provided for in clause 7.1) and;

      7.2.1 if the breach of Contract is capable of remedy, BT fails to remedy
            the breach within 30 days of written notice to do so; or

Playboy Eurobird contract channel 2        Page 7 of 23
<PAGE>

7.3   The Customer may terminate this Contract before the Expiry Date by written
      notice to BT if BT is the subject of a bankruptcy order or becomes
      insolvent or makes any arrangement or composition with or assignment for
      the benefit of its creditors or goes into liquidation, either voluntary
      (otherwise than for reconstruction or amalgamation) or compulsory, or if a
      receiver or administrator is appointed over its assets.

7.4   Upon the first anniversary of the OSD the Customer shall be entitled to
      terminate the Contract without becoming liable for the Termination payment
      by giving BT three (3) months prior written notice in the event that the
      Customer withdraws the Broadcast Service from the UK Direct to Home
      subscription market.

8.    Termination by BT

8.1   BT may immediately terminate this Contract by written notice to the
      Customer, giving the Customer as much notice as is reasonably practicable,
      if BT receives written notification that the Space Segment Facilities have
      become permanently unavailable. Upon such termination BT will advise
      Customer of the availability, if any, of suitable alternative Space
      Segment Facilities and will use reasonable endeavours to arrange for the
      provision of suitable alternative Space Segment Facilities on terms to be
      agreed negotiating in good faith. In the event of termination in
      accordance with this Clause 8.1 BT shall repay any Charges paid in advance
      by the Customer.

8.2   BT may (without prejudice to any other right or remedy) terminate this
      Contract by giving 30 days written notice to the Customer if BT does not
      receive payment of the Charges in full on the Due Date and any interest
      thereon.

8.3   BT may terminate this Contract before the Expiry Date by written notice to
      the Customer if the Customer commits a substantial breach of this Contract
      (other than matters provided for in Clause 8.2) and:

      8.3.1 if the breach of Contract is capable of remedy, the Customer fails
            to remedy the breach within 30 days after receipt of written notice
            to do so; or

      8.3.2 if it is not possible to remedy the breach.

8.4   BT may terminate this Contract before the Expiry Date by written notice to
      the Customer if the Customer is the subject of a bankruptcy order or
      becomes insolvent or makes any arrangement or composition with or
      assignment for the benefit of its creditors or goes into liquidation,
      either voluntary (otherwise than for reconstruction or amalgamation) or
      compulsory, or if a receiver or administrator is appointed over its
      assets.

9.    Effect of Termination

9.1   It or expiry of this Contract will be without prejudice to the rights and
      liabilities of either BT or the Customer, which may accrue on or up to the
      Termination Date.

Playboy Eurobird contract channel 2        Page 8 of 23
<PAGE>

9.2   Where BT terminates this Contract under Clause 8 (other than under Clause
      8.1) or where the Customer purports to terminate before the Expiry Date
      (other than under Clause 7), the Customer must pay the Termination
      Payment.

9.3   The Termination Payment is calculated by taking the amounts payable under
      this Contract up to the Expiry Date not received by BT on or before the
      Termination Date less the aggregate of all credits due to the Customer
      under Clause 5 prior to the Termination Date which have not been credited
      to the Customer on or before the Termination Date and discounting these
      amounts payable from the original Due Dates back to the Termination Date.
      The discount rate used will be the 3-month Euro Interbank offered rate
      quoted by Barclays Bank plc, London, at 11 am on the last business day of
      the preceding month.

9.4   The Customer must pay the Termination Payment to BT within 30 days of the
      date of BT's VAT invoice.

9.5   BT may charge interest calculated in accordance with Clause 3.3 if the
      Termination Payment is not paid within 30 days of the date of BT's
      invoice.

9.6   If, after payment by the Customer of the Termination Payment, BT, by using
      its reasonable endeavours, shall secure another customer or customers for
      the same capacity as that used for the Services for any part of the period
      between the Termination Date and the Expiry Date, BT will pay to the
      Customer a sum equivalent to the sum it obtains from the new customer(s)
      less all of BT's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the period from
      the Termination Date to the Expiry Date. For the avoidance of doubt, BT
      shall not be obliged to secure such new customer(s) for the same capacity
      as that used in the Service, unless BT has first contracted with customers
      for all other available capacity within BT's Eurobird service available at
      or after the Termination Date.

9.7   Where the Customer terminates this Contract under Clause 7 BT shall refund
      to the Customer all advance payments made by the Customer in respect of
      any period after the Termination Date.

10.   Use and Assignment

10.1  The Customer may assign any rights or benefits under the Contract only
      with the prior written consent of BT (such consent not to be unreasonably
      delayed or withheld).

10.2  The Customer may permit a third party to use all or part of the Service
      only with the prior written consent of BT. Such consent is not to be
      unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior to permitting such third party
      use, the Customer must notify BT of the proposed party's name and the
      proposed extent of their use of the Service. The Customer remains
      responsible for all its obligations under this Contract including use of
      the Service and payment of the Charges. BT may make reasonable additional
      requirements of the Customer or the third party as a condition of its
      consent for such third party use. Notification to BT or BT's consent does
      not imply any approval by BT of the third party or its proposed usage.

10.3  BT may assign this Contract to a Company within the BT Group of Companies.
      "Company within the BT Group of Companies" means BT or one of the
      subsidiaries of BT as defined by Section 736 of the Companies Act 1985.

11.   Force Majeure

11.1  If either BT or the Customer is unable to perform any obligation under
      this Contract because of a matter beyond its reasonable control, including
      but not limited to lightning, flood, exceptionally severe weather, fire,
      explosion, war, civil disorder, industrial disputes (whether or not
      involving their employees), satellite or launch failure or acts of local
      or central Government or other competent authorities it will have no
      liability to the other party.

11.2  The affected party must promptly give written notice to the other party on
      commencement and on cessation of the Force Majeure event.

11.3  BT will pay a credit to the Customer calculated in accordance with Clause
      5 for any period of Unavailability that is caused by an event of Force
      Majeure.

11.4  If the Force Majeure event continues for a period of 60 days or more or
      when it is agreed by both parties that such an event will continue for
      longer than 60 days from the day it started either party shall have the
      right to terminate this Contract without liability (save for the accrued
      rights and obligations of the parties) upon giving seven (7) days written
      notice to the other party.

12.   Limitation of Liability

12.1  For the avoidance of doubt, BT has no obligation duty or liability in
      contract, tort, for breach of statutory duty or otherwise beyond that of a
