is set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Licensor agrees to update the attached list
within 90 days to indicate therein the titles of all of the Catalog Pictures,

or "New Releases". In addition, Licensor will deliver such screening cassettes,
editing masters or other material as may be requested by CSB, to permit CSB to

many Catalog Pictures as it desires to exploit in the Territory.

the two (2) "premier" titles which CSB has been licensing per month from
Licensor's "Gonzo", "Amazing", "Toxxxic" or similar collections at a license fee
of $3,000 to $5,000 a title. In addition, at such time as Licensor's existing

available, at a license fee of $14,000 per title; provided, that: (i) at least
one of the two (2) additional new motion pictures is shot on film ( as opposed
to video); and (ii) the two (2) additional new motion pictures are reasonably
visually distinctive from the other new motion pictures delivered to CSB that
month (e.g., have different directors, different stars, different story lines
and a different general look from the other delivered movies). If the Playboy
Enterprises contract expires pursuant to its terms, CSB agrees that its
obligation to pre-select additional new motion pictures shall relate to an
additional three (3), not two (2), additional neTM motion pictures, and all

promptly notify Licensor of the technical defects in the material delivered and
Licensor will remedy any and all such defects, at no cost to CSB, within ten
(10) days of receipt of such notice. If CSB's rejection is for reasons related
to its editing standards, Licensor will replace the rejected Picture(s) within
thirty (30) days after Licensor receives notice of such rejection, with another
Picture(s) in the same category as that of the Picture rejected. It is
acknowledged and agreed that to the extent that any of the Pictures are of a
general quality equivalent to Licensor's current CalVista line of motion
pictures, such Pictures shall be deemed to meet CSB's general quality standards.

6.       EXCLUSIVITY

         Except with respect to the pre-existing rights of third parties to the
Catalog Pictures, all still photographs within the "Catalog Pictures", and for
Licensor's rights relating to the Interact and Kiosk Transmission Service, as

shall be exclusive to CSB during the Term and Licensor agrees to take all action
necessary to ensure that CSB is accorded the right to exploit such Rights

 17.     RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

itself out contrary to the terms of this Agreement and neither party shall
become liable by reason of any representation, act or omission of the other

as they become due, or any proceeding is commenced by or against such party (or
in the case of CSB, by or against New Frontier) under any provision of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code or under other bankruptcy or insolvency law, including
assignment for the benefit of creditors (and in the case of an involuntary
proceeding, such proceeding is not dismissed within 60 days of the filing
thereof), or any such party's securities are delisted from Nasdaq. In addition,
Licensor may terminate this Agreement upon no less than three (3) business days
prior notice if CSB shall be in arrears to Licensor for license fees due to it
hereunder in an amount equal to or in excess of $200,000, and CSB shall not have
cured such breach within two (2) business days of its receipt of such notice.
Moreover, Licensor may terminate this Agreement should CSB fail to pre-select 36
new motion pictures, as described in Section 5.1 above, over any consecutive 15
month period commencing after January 1, 2000. Should Licensor terminate this
Agreement by reason of an action or conduct of CSB proscribed under this Section
18, all rights herein granted CSB shall forthwith terminate and revert to
Licensor.
