Dear Steve:

This letter  confirms our agreement  that  effective  October 1, 1996,  the Fees
payable for PPV Digital Cable Subscribers for Spice or both Spice and The Adam &
Eve Channel ("AEC") (together,  the "Spice Networks") in each System where Spice
or the Spice  Networks  are  distributed  via the digital  platform  operated by
National  Digital  Television  Center,  Inc.,  d/b/a Headend in the Sky ("HITS")
shall  in no event  collectively  exceed,  for  such  Systems,  an  amount  (the
following  are referred to as the "Rate Caps") equal to: (1) ***** per month per
Digital Addressable Subscriber if one or both of the Spice Networks are the only
adult  Channel(s)  carried on such  System,  or (2) ***** per month per  Digital
Addressable  Subscriber  if one or both of the Spice  Networks  are not the only
Adult  Channel(s)  carried on such System.  A "Digital  Addressable  Subscriber"
shall  mean an  Addressable  Subscriber  in a  System  who  receives  television
programming from HITS in a digital format utilizing equipment through which such
Addressable  Subscriber can also receive a digital PPV viewing segment of one or
both of the  Spice  Networks.  A "PVC  Digital  Cable  Subscriber"  is a Digital
Addressable  Subscriber  who is a PPV  Cable  Subscriber,  and who  purchases  a
viewing  segment  of one or  both of the  Spice  Networks  from a HITs  provided
signal. An "Adult Channel" shall mean a cable television  programming service or
channel where a majority of the programming regularly consists, during the hours
of ***** system local time,  of sexually  explicit  adult-oriented  programming,
similar to Playboy TV, AdultVision, Spice, AEC, Spice Hot or more explicit adult
programming.  In  clarification  of the  foregoing,  Action PPV,  Request 5, Hot
Choice,  or any  similarly  themed PPV  service  shall not  constitute  an Adult
Channel,  unless  such  channel  changes  its  format to a format  substantially
similar to that of an Adult Channel.

The availability of the Rate Caps are conditioned upon (i) the aggregate license
fees  payable to Spice by SSI for both  analog and digital  distribution  of the
Spice  Networks  in any month are no less than ***** of the  Baseline;  (ii) AEC
being included in the HITS programming  lineup;  and Spice being included in the
primary transponder grouping known as *****; and (iii) HITS *****

to Spice for the Spice Networks,  or Spice having  otherwise  agreed to terms of
carriage  with  HITS.  If after  the date  hereof,  the  number  of  Addressable
Subscribers  in Systems is increased or decreased from the number of Addressable
Subscribers  in such Systems as of the date hereof (the  "Baseline  Subs"),  the
Baseline  shall be  adjusted  for any month to an amount  equal to the  Baseline
multiplied by a fraction,  the  numerator of which is the number of  Addressable
Subscribers in such Systems in such month,  and the  denominator of which is the
Baseline Subs.

The "Baseline"  shall mean an amount equal to the average  monthly amount due to
Network  under the  Affiliation  Agreement  dated as of November 1, 1992 between
Network  and SSI  ("the  Affiliation  Agreement")  for the  months  of  October,
November,  and December,  1997. Capitalized terms in this letter agreement shall
have  the same  meaning  as the  definitions  of such  terms in the  Affiliation
Agreement, which, as amended, shall remain in full force and effect.

            offering  any VOD Content or HVOD Content to any  individual  and/or

            equipment  necessary to distribute  the VOD Content and HVOD Content
            to such  subscribers  from  the  server  in each  System's  headend.
            Network, at its own expense,  shall deliver the VOD Content and HVOD
            Content in  compliance  with  generally  accepted  standards of good
            practice and  according  to  parameters  specified in the  CableLabs
            Video On Demand  Content  Specification  Version  1.0 ("CLI 1.0") or
            future releases thereof,  including all applicable digitally encoded
            non-video data attributes  ("Meta Data").  Network shall deliver the
            VOD Content and HVOD Content via either of the following methods, as
            selected by Network at its sole option, upon advance written notice:
            (i) satellite or program  master to the Comcast Media Center ("CMC")
            in  Denver,  Colorado,  or (ii) FTP  directly  to a point or  points
            designated by Affiliate. The maximum MPEG 2 encoding data rate shall
            be 3.75 mbps,  provided  that  Network  agrees  that when it becomes
            commercially  feasible or industry  standard to do so, then  Network
            will encode at a maximum rate of 3.375 mbps.  Network shall bear all
            costs in  connection  with the  encoding  of, and the  transport  to
            applicable  Systems of, the VOD Content and HVOD Content  regardless
            of the method of  delivery  (and to the extent  necessary  to ensure
            Network's compliance with the provisions of this sentence (including
            if Network elects to deliver  unencoded VOD Content and HVOD Content
            to the CMC), Network shall enter into an agreement,  and/or maintain
            any existing  agreement,  with the CMC concerning the CMC's services
            related to such encoding and transport).

13.   The following language is hereby added as Section 4(j) of the Agreement:

            or obligations  arising out of the activities  contemplated  by this
            Agreement),  and Affiliate shall have no responsibility or liability
            for  any  such  royalties  or  fees,   including  any  content-based
            royalties or fees associated with distribution of the VOD Content or
            HVOD  Content  via  VOD,  except  for fees  payable  to  Network  in
            accordance  with Section 5 of this Agreement.  Network  acknowledges
            that Affiliate may, from time to time, direct Network not to include
            as part of the VOD Content or HVOD  Content any  particular  Program
            that Affiliate reasonably determines does not meet the intent of the

            business,  political, or operational difficulty;  provided, however,
            that such Program shall count toward  Network's  satisfaction of its
            obligations  hereunder  to provide at least ***** of VOD Content and
            at least ***** of HVOD  Content for the period of time during  which
            such Program was  scheduled to be made  available as part of the VOD
            Content or HVOD Content.  The VOD Content and HVOD Content shall not
            contain any  sponsorships  or  advertising,  except  sponsorship  or
            advertising  for the Service  permitted  under this Agreement or the
            Spice Agreement.

14.   The second  sentence of Section 5(a) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in

      category of subscriber.

19.   Section  5(b)  (including  Sections  5(b)(i)  through  5(b)(iii))  of  the
      Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

            (b)  For  each  Service  Cable   Subscriber  or  Service   Satellite
            Subscriber,  Affiliate will pay Network the applicable Revenue Share
            Percentage (as defined in Section 5(d)) of Gross Receipts,  less the
            deductions  described in Section 5(g),  subject to a monthly minimum
            of  *****  per  Service  Cable   Subscriber  or  Service   Satellite
            Subscriber,  which Fees (as defined  below)  shall not be subject to
            rate caps. When the Service is sold to a Service Cable Subscriber or
            Service Satellite  Subscriber in combination with other services for
            a package charge (as, for example, in a tier or in a package of a la
            carte  or  other   services),   the  Gross  Receipts  deemed  to  be
            attributable  to a Service  Cable  Subscriber  or Service  Satellite
            Subscriber  for the  Service  shall  be  equal  to the  total  Gross
            Receipts  for the tier or package of  services  sold in  combination
            with the Service,  multiplied by a fraction,  the numerator of which
            is the a la carte retail  charge for the Service  otherwise  charged
            for  the  pertinent  System  and the  denominator  of  which  is the
            numerator  plus  the  aggregate  of the a la  carte  retail  charges
            otherwise  charged by the  pertinent  System for the other  services
            included in the tier or package of a la carte or other  service.  In
            addition,  if Affiliate  provides  the Service to multiple  dwelling
            complexes,  including, but not limited to, apartment buildings, on a
            bulk-rate  basis,  the number of Service  Satellite  Subscribers  or
            Service Cable  Subscribers (as the case may be) attributable to each
            such bulk-rate subscriber shall be equal to the total monthly retail
            rate  charged a complex  for the  Service  divided  by the  standard
            monthly  retail  rate  charged a  non-bulk  rate  Service  Satellite
            Subscriber or Service Cable  Subscriber (as the case may be) for the
            Service  in the  applicable  System  or by the  pertinent  Satellite
            distributor, as the case may be.

            the Service,  including by means of VOD,  Affiliate will pay Network
            the  Network  Share of the  Gross  Receipts  paid by such PPV  Cable
            Subscriber and each PPV Satellite Subscriber to Affiliate.  "Network
            Share"  shall equal the  applicable  Revenue  Share  Percentage  (as
            defined in  Section  5(d)) of the Gross  Receipts  paid by each such
            subscriber  but not less than ***** per PPV Cable  Subscriber or PPV
            Satellite  Subscriber,  and ***** for each VOD transaction),  except
            that  such  amount  paid by each PPV  Cable  Subscriber  or each PPV
            Satellite  Subscriber  (as the case  may be)  shall  be  subject  to
            reduction as provided in Section 5(g) below.

            mean ***** effective upon the first date upon which Affiliate offers

            defined in the Playboy  Agreement)  for  distribution  of Playboy TV

            Playboy  Service in systems  comprising  at least ***** of the basic
            cable television subscribers within Systems that offer adult content
            on a VOD basis (i.e., VOD content that is rated X or a more explicit
            editing  standard,  other than such VOD content  that is included as
            part  of an  SVOD  offering  from a  premium  service  provider  not
            targeted exclusively to adult audiences (e.g.,  Cinemax,  Showtime))
            (such systems,  the "Adult  VOD-Enabled  Systems"),  and the parties
            agree that the number of basic  television  subscribers in the Adult
            VOD-Enabled  Systems  shall be deemed to be *****,  and (B) at least
            ***** of the VOD Content offered, at a minimum,  via a branded entry

            cable television  subscribers  within the Adult VOD-Enabled  Systems
            ((A)  and  (B)  together,  the  "Carriage  Incentive   Benchmarks");
            provided,  however,  that if a System  offers at least  ***** of the
            TV-SVOD  Content and such System (or another  System (i.e.,  whether
            this occurs in a single System or as a  combination  of two separate
            Systems))  offers at least  ***** of the VOD Content  before  *****,
            then  the  Revenue  Share  Percentage  shall  mean  *****,  provided
            further,  however,  that if Affiliate  fails to achieve the Carriage
            Incentive  Benchmarks  on or before  *****,  then the Revenue  Share
            Percentage  shall be deemed to be *****  between ***** and Affiliate
            shall  be   required  to  remit  to  Network   outstanding   amounts
            retroactive to ***** for those Systems that are not offering  either
            at  least  *****  of  the  TV-SVOD  Content  in  connection  with  a

<PAGE>

            (f) The  Fees  that are  attributable  to  Gross  Receipts  based on
            Subscription  services  payable by  Affiliate  to Network  hereunder
            shall be due and payable  forty-five  (45) days after the end of the
            calendar month to which they relate.  The Fees that are attributable
            to Gross Receipts based on PPV or VOD services  payable by Affiliate
            to Network  hereunder shall be due and payable  forty-five (45) days
            after the last day of the calendar month which includes the last day
            of the Reporting Period.  The term "Reporting Period" shall mean the
            days from the end of each System's or Satellite  distributor's prior
            monthly  reporting period (which date may vary in each System or for
            each  Satellite  distributor  from the 20th of the calendar month to
            the last day of the  calendar  month) to the end of the  System's or

            Affiliate shall have the right,  however, to make adjustments to any
            month's  payment  in an amount  equal to the  portion  of a previous
            month's Fees which represent an overpayment or underpayment.

23.   The following shall be added as a new last sentence of Section 5(g) of the
      Agreement:

            per-viewing  fees billed by  Affiliate  to the VOD  subscribers  for
            viewing  of the VOD  Content  or HVOD  Content,  less any  technical
            credits  given by  Affiliate  to such  subscribers  pursuant to this
            Section.  In the  event of a  substantiated,  technological  failure
            within the  transmission  system for  delivering VOD Content or HVOD
            Content to subscribers resulting in the substantial  interruption or
            termination  of an  exhibition of a Program,  Affiliate  may, in its
            discretion,  offer a  technical  credit to the  subscriber  affected
            thereby not to exceed the amount charged to the affected  subscriber
            and shall maintain documentation in support of the granted technical
            credit.

                            Satellite Services, Inc.

                      dated as of November 1992, as amended

                              SYSTEM QUALIFICATIONS

Affiliate  represents and warrants  that,  with respect to each System listed on
Schedule 1 hereto,  Comcast  Corporation,  or any person or entity  controlling,
controlled by, or under common  control with  Affiliate or Comcast  Corporation,
now or hereafter (Affiliate,  Comcast Corporation and each such person or entity
a "Comcast Entity"), (i) owns or has the right to acquire ownership of, directly
or  indirectly,  a minimum of ten percent  (10%) of such  System;  and (ii) with
respect  to Systems  that are less than  fifty  percent  (50%)  owned,  has been
authorized  to execute  decisions  on behalf of such System with  respect to the
Service. In the event Affiliate's direct or indirect equity interest in a System
or in the entity managing such System  decreases below the level required by the
immediately  preceding  sentence,  and provided  Affiliate's  interest  does not
decrease  to zero,  such System  shall  continue  to qualify  for  inclusion  on
Schedule 1 as long as Affiliate's interest in such System increases to the level
required  hereunder  within eighteen (18) months of such decrease.  In the event
Affiliate,  or any of the entities that owns or manages  systems or  enterprises
that  qualify  hereunder,  effects a  corporate  separation,  reorganization  or
restructuring  (including,  without  limitation,  by a distribution of stock, or
other assets or rights, to its shareholders,  partners or joint venturers),  the
systems or enterprises of the entity resulting from such transaction  (including
all interim and supporting  entities) and/or all of such resulting entities,  in
the aggregate, will qualify under the system qualifications set forth herein, so
as to  continue  to  qualify  to  distribute  the  Service  under  the terms and
conditions hereof, as if such separation,  reorganization or other restructuring
had not occurred. Any system that satisfies the qualifications of this Exhibit A
and in which a Comcast  Entity owns more than fifty percent (50%) interest shall
be referred to as a "Majority-Owned System."
