      2. Demand Registration. (a) (i) Distribution shall have the right, on not
more than four occasions in the aggregate, and no more frequently than once
during any six-month period, to require the Company to register for offer and
sale under the Securities Act (a "Demand") all or a portion of the Registrable
Securities held by Distribution, subject to the restrictions set forth herein;
provided that Distribution shall not be entitled to make a Demand hereunder
unless the Registrable Securities subject to such Demand represent at least 7%
of the aggregate shares of Company Common Stock then issued and outstanding.

      As promptly as practicable after the Company receives from Distribution a
notice pursuant to this Section 2(a) (a "Demand Notice"), demanding that the
Company register for offer and sale under the Securities Act Registrable
Securities, subject to Section 2(b), the Company shall (i) use all reasonable
efforts to file as promptly as reasonably practicable with the Commission a
Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Applicable
Securities on such form as the Company may reasonably deem appropriate (provided
that the Company shall not, unless the Company otherwise determines, be
obligated to register any securities on a "shelf" registration statement or
otherwise to register securities for offer or sale on a continuous or delayed
basis) and, thereafter, (ii) after the filing of an initial version of the
Registration Statement, use reasonable efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as
practicable after the date of filing of such Registration Statement; provided,
however, that Distribution shall not be entitled to be named as a selling
securityholder in the Registration Statement or to use the Prospectus forming a
part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless Distribution has made
an Election. Subject to Section 2(b), the Company shall use reasonable efforts
to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit
the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Distribution for resales
of Registrable Securities for an Effectiveness Period ending on the earlier of
(i) 30 days from the Effective Time of such Registration Statement and (ii) such
time as all of such securities have been disposed of by the selling
securityholders.

      (b) The Company shall have the right to postpone (or, if necessary or
advisable, withdraw) the filing, or delay the effectiveness, of a Registration
Statement, or fail to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective or
not amend or supplement the Registration Statement or included Prospectus, if
the Company determines based upon the advice of counsel that it would be
advisable to not disclose in the Registration Statement a planned or proposed
financing, acquisition or other corporate transaction or other material
information, and the Company shall have determined in good faith that such
disclosure is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders;
provided that no one such postponement shall exceed 90 days in any six-month
period and all such postponements shall not exceed 180 days in the aggregate.
The Company shall advise Distribution of any such determination as promptly as
practicable after such determination.

      (c) In connection with an underwritten offering, if the managing
underwriter or underwriters advise the Company that in its or their opinion the
number of Applicable Securities subject to a Demand exceeds the number which can
be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such Registration the
number of Applicable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing
underwriter or underwriters, can be sold in such offering.

      (d) The Company may include in any Registration requested pursuant to
Section 2(a) hereof other securities for sale for its own account or for the
account of another Person, subject to the following sentence. In connection with
an underwritten offering, if the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the
Company that in its or their opinion the number of Applicable Securities
requested by Distribution, together with other securities for sale for the
account of the Company or any other Person, to be registered exceeds the number
which can be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such
Registration the number of Applicable Securities and other securities that, in
the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold in such
offering as follows: (i) first, the Applicable Securities requested to be
registered by Distribution and (ii) second, any other securities requested to be
included in such Registration.

      (e) Distribution shall have the right to withdraw any Demand (i) prior to
the time the Registration Statement in respect of such Demand has been declared
effective, (ii) upon the issuance by the Commission or any other governmental
agency of a stop order, injunction or other order which interferes with such
Registration, (iii) upon the Company's availing itself of Section 2(b), or (iv)
if Distribution is prevented pursuant to Section 2(c) or (d) from selling all of
the Applicable Securities it requested to be registered. Notwithstanding such
request to withdraw the Demand, the Registration requested by Distribution shall
nonetheless be deemed to have been effected (and, therefore, requested) for
purposes of Section 2(a) hereof if Distribution withdraws any Demand (A)
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence after the Commission filing fee
is paid with respect thereto or (B) pursuant to clause (iv) of the preceding
sentence in circumstances where at least 50% of the Applicable Securities
requested to be included in such Registration by Distribution could have been
included, and in each case, (x) the Company has not availed itself of Section
2(b) with respect to such Registration request or (y) the Company has availed
itself of Section 2(b) and the withdrawal request is not made within 10 days
after the termination of the suspension period occasioned by the Company's
exercise of its rights under Section 2(b). If Distribution withdraws a Demand
but the Company nevertheless determines to complete, within 30 days after such
withdrawal, the Registration so requested as to securities other than the
Applicable Securities, Distribution shall be entitled to participate in such
Registration pursuant to Section 3, but in such case the Intended Offering
Notice shall be required to be given to Distribution at least five business days
prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, or if such
Registration Statement has already been filed, within 10 business days after
receipt of the request to withdraw Demand from Distribution and Distribution
shall be required to give the Piggy-back Notice no later than 3 business days
after the Company's delivery of such Intended Offering Notice.

      (f) In the event that any Registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall
involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, one co-lead managing
underwriter shall be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable
to Distribution, and the other co-lead underwriter shall be selected by
Distribution, and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. Any additional
co-managing underwriters shall be selected by the Company.

      3. Piggy-back Registration. (a) If at any time the Company intends to file
on its behalf or on behalf of any of its securityholders a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act in connection with a public offering of any
securities of the Company on a form and in a manner that would permit the
registration for offer and sale under the Securities Act of Registrable

                                       5

                                  EXHIBIT 1.46

Securities, other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4, then
the Company shall give written notice (an "Intended Offering Notice") of such
intention to Distribution at least 20 business days prior to the anticipated
filing date of such registration statement. Such Intended Offering Notice shall
offer to include in such registration statement for offer to the public such
number of Registrable Securities as Distribution may request, subject to the
conditions set forth herein, and shall specify, to the extent then known, the
number and class of securities proposed to be registered, the proposed date of
filing of such registration statement, any proposed means of distribution of
such securities, any proposed managing underwriter or underwriters of such
securities and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed maximum
offering price of such securities, as such price is proposed to appear on the
facing page of such registration statement. Distribution shall advise the
Company in writing (such written notice being a "Piggy-back Notice") not later
than 10 business days after the Company's delivery of the Intended Offering
Notice, if Distribution desires to participate in such offering. The Piggy-back
Notice shall set forth the number of Registrable Securities Distribution desires
to have included in the registration statement and offered to the public. If
Distribution elects to participate in the offering, upon the request of the
Company, Distribution shall enter into such underwriting, custody and other
agreements as are customary in connection with registered secondary offerings or
necessary or appropriate in connection with the offering. Distribution shall not
be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Registration
Statement or to use the Prospectus forming a part thereof for sales of
Registrable Securities unless Distribution has made an Election.

      (b) In connection with an underwritten offering, if the managing
underwriter or underwriters advise the Company in writing that in its or their
opinion the number of securities proposed to be registered exceeds the number
that can be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such
Registration the number of securities that, in the opinion of such managing
underwriter or underwriters, can be sold as follows: (i) first, the securities
that the Company proposes to sell or, if the Registration is in response to a
demand by any securityholders of the Company with registration rights ("Other
Registering Stockholders"), the securities that demanding Other Registering
Stockholders propose to sell, (ii) second, Applicable Securities requested to be
included in such Registration by Distribution and other securities requested to
be included by any Other Registering Stockholders, and, if the Registration is
in response to a demand by any Other Registering Stockholder, the securities
that the Company proposes to sell (pro rata in proportion to the number of
Applicable Securities requested to be included by Distribution, other securities
requested to be included by any Other Registering Stockholder, and, if
applicable, the Company) and (iii) third, other securities requested to be
included in such Registration.

      (c) The rights of Distribution pursuant to Section 2 hereof and this
Section 3 are cumulative, and the exercise of rights under one such Section
shall not exclude the subsequent exercise of rights under the other such Section
(except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company may abandon and/or withdraw any
registration as to which any right under Section 3 may exist at any time and for
any reason without liability hereunder. In such event, the Company shall notify
Distribution to the extent that it has delivered a Piggy-back Notice to
Distribution to participate therein.

liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement under which such Applicable Securities are registered
under the Securities Act, or any Prospectus contained therein or furnished by
the Company to any Indemnified Person, or any amendment or supplement thereto in
each case relating to the sale of Applicable Securities, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person
for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or
liability (or action in respect thereof) as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable to any such
Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such
Registration Statement or Prospectus, or amendment or supplement, in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Person or by or on behalf of Distribution
expressly for use therein; (ii) the Company shall not be liable to the extent
that any loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect
thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (a) the use of any Prospectus
after such time as the obligation of the Company to keep the same effective and
current has expired, or (b) the use of any Prospectus after such time as the
Company has advised Distribution in writing that a post-effective amendment or
supplement thereto is required, except such Prospectus as so amended or
supplemented; and (iii) the Company shall not be liable to any Person who
participates as an Underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities
or any other Person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of
the Securities Act, to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability (or
action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of the matters
described in the first proviso of this sentence or in (a) or (b) above or such
Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus or supplement to
the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale
of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was
timely corrected in such final prospectus or supplement.

      (b) Distribution agrees as a consequence of the inclusion of Applicable
Securities in such Registration Statement, and each Underwriter or selling agent
shall agree, as a consequence of facilitating such disposition of Applicable
Securities, severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each other participating stockholder, their respective directors and
officers and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or each other
participating stockholder, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) to which the Company or
each other participating stockholder, or such other Persons may become subject,
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless such untrue

statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was
subsequently remedied in an amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus and the Company failed to comply with the delivery
requirements of the Securities Act, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of Distribution, the
Underwriter or selling agent or its agent, expressly for use therein, and (ii)
subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause (ii),
reimburse the Company and each other participating stockholder, for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

      (c) Promptly after receipt by any Person entitled to indemnity (an
"Indemnitee") under Section 6(a) or (b) hereof of notice of the commencement of
any action or claim, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against an indemnifying Person (an "Indemnitor") under this Section 6,
notify such Indemnitor in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission
so to notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have to any Indemnitee except to the extent of any actual prejudice. In case any
such action shall be brought against any Indemnitee, it shall notify an
Indemnitor of the commencement thereof, such Indemnitor shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any
other Indemnitor similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and, after notice from the Indemnitor to such
Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such Indemnitor
shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Section 6 for any legal
expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently
incurred by such Indemnitee, in connection with the defense thereof. No
Indemnitor shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect
the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such
settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the
Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does
not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a
failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnitee.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall have the right to
employ separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor in any such
proceeding and to participate in (but not control, other than as provided in (3)
below) the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of such Indemnitee unless (1) the Indemnitor has agreed to pay
such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnitor shall have failed after notice to
assume the defense of such proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such
proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and
the Indemnitor or any of its affiliates or controlling persons, and a conflict
of interest will exist if such counsel represents such Indemnitee and the
Indemnitor (or such affiliate or controlling person) and in the case of (3), the
Indemnitee shall have the right to control the Indemnitee's defense and in each
of the cases, if such Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor in writing that it
elects to employ separate counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor; it being understood, however,
that the Indemnitor shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding or
separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, arising out of

                                       11
<PAGE>
                                  EXHIBIT 1.46

the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with
appropriate local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnitees, which firm
shall be designated by the Indemnitee that had the largest number of shares
included in the applicable registration statement. An Indemnitor shall not be
liable for any settlement of an action effected without its written consent.

      (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable
to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee under Section 6(a) or (b)
hereof in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to therein, then each Indemnitor shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitor and
the Indemnitee in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by such Indemnitor or by such Indemnitee, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined
solely by pro rata allocation (even if each participating stockholder or any
Underwriters or selling agents or all of them were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount
paid or payable by an Indemnitee as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to
include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such
Indemnitee in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations
of Distribution and any Underwriters or selling agents in this Section 6(d) to
contribute shall be several in proportion to the number of Applicable Securities
registered or underwritten or sold, as the case may be, by them and not joint.

      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6(d), Distribution
shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
the net proceeds received by Distribution from the sale of Company Common Stock
pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which
Distribution has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

      (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnitee
and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this Section 6 shall be in
addition to any liability which such Indemnified Person may otherwise have to
the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall
not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to an
Indemnitee at law or in equity.

      7. Other Provisions. (a) The respective indemnities, agreements and other
provisions set forth in this Agreement or made pursuant to this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any
statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of Distribution, any
director, officer or partner of Distribution, any agent or Underwriter, any
director, officer or partner of such agent or Underwriter, or any Affiliate of
any of the foregoing, and shall survive the registration, offering and sale of
the Applicable Securities of Distribution.

      (b) Distribution shall cooperate with respect to any Registration effected
under this Agreement and shall provide such information, documents, and
instruments as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

      (c) Distribution agrees, if so requested by the managing underwriter in
any underwritten offering of the Company's securities, not to effect any public
sale or distribution of Registrable Securities (other than pursuant to such
underwritten offering) during the 30 days prior to and the 90 days after any
registration statement for any such underwritten offering of the Company's
securities (either for its own account or for the benefit of the holders of any
securities of the Company) has become effective (or such period of time shorter
than 90 days that is sufficient and appropriate, in the sole opinion of the
managing underwriter, in order to complete the sale and distribution of
securities included in such registration).

      (d) Distribution agrees to keep confidential the fact that the Company has
exercised its rights under Section 2(b), any advice of the Company pursuant to
Section 4(c) and any other confidential information provided by the Company in
connection with this Agreement.

      (e) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to file all reports
required to be filed with respect to the Company under Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act during such time as there are any Registrable
Securities.

                                     (Date)

      Reference is hereby made to the Registration Rights Agreement (the
"Agreement") between Hallmark Entertainment Distribution LLC, a Delaware limited
liability corporation ("Stockholder"), and Crown Media Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company
[has filed] with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form ____ (the "Registration
Statement") for the registration and resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), of shares of Company Common Stock. All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Agreement.

      The Stockholder is entitled to have the Registrable Securities owned by it
included in the Registration Statement. In order to have Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement, this Notice of Registration Statement
and Selling Securityholder Questionnaire ("Notice and Questionnaire") must be
completed, executed and delivered to the Company's counsel at the address set
forth herein for receipt ON OR BEFORE [DEADLINE FOR RESPONSE]. If the
Stockholder does not complete, execute and return this Notice and Questionnaire
by such date, the Stockholder (i) will not be named as a selling securityholder
in the Registration Statement and (ii) may not use the Prospectus forming a part
thereof for resales of Registrable Securities.

      Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling
securityholder in the Registration Statement and related Prospectus.
Accordingly, the Stockholder is advised to consult its own securities law
counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a
selling securityholder in the Registration Statement and related Prospectus.

                            FIFTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into the certain Lease dated June 1,
1998 (the "Lease") pertaining to certain leased premises in the Building
described as Suites 400 and 500; and

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain First Amendment to

more particularly describe in the First Amendment; and

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Second Amendment to
Lease dated August 17, 1999, (the "Second Amendment"), pertaining to the

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant further desire to amend the terms and
conditions of the Lease pertaining to the exclusion of a portion of the
additional leased space originally anticipated to be leased by Tenant pursuant
to the Fourth Amendment.

     NOW THEREFORE, In consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual
engagements of the parties hereto, it is agreed as follows:

     1.   L&A SPACE. The L&A Space, as defined in the Fourth Amendment, is

     2.   TENANT'S SQUARE FOOTAGE. Paragraph 1.14 of the Lease is hereby amended
to provide that Tenant's Square Footage for the Leased Premises, as previously
amended by the First, Second and Fourth Amendments, is hereby amended to

Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Fifth Amendment shall apply. In all
other respects, the terms and conditions of the Lease and the Amendments, except
as amended by
