laws of the Netherlands ("MIH"), has transferred its equity interest in OpenTV,
                          ---
to the Company in exchange for which OTV Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of MIH
("OTVH"), has received B Ordinary Shares of the Company.
  ----

          B.   SSI shall have the right, pursuant to this Agreement, to exchange
all of its shares of Class B Common Stock of OpenTV for shares of the B Ordinary

                                   ---------

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties herein contained, the parties hereto agree as
follows:


          1.   Right to Exchange Securities.   SSI shall have the irrevocable,
               ----------------------------
perpetual right (the "Exchange Right"), subject to the terms and conditions of
                      --------------
this Agreement, to exchange each share of  Class B Common Stock of OpenTV (the
"OpenTV Shares") for B Ordinary Shares of the Company (the "Exchange
--------------                                              --------
Securities") as set forth herein.  Each OpenTV Share shall be exchangeable into

of the exchange.  The Initial Exchange Price shall be U.S. one dollar and eleven
cents (U.S.$1.11).  The BVI Exchange Price shall be U.S. one dollar and eleven

     2.   Mechanics of Exchange.
          ---------------------

          (a) SSI may exercise the Exchange Right set forth in paragraph 1 above
by delivering a written notice (the "Exchange Notice") to the Company which sets
                                     ---------------
forth the number of shares of OpenTV which SSI has elected to exchange.  Each
Exchange Notice shall be irrevocable, and upon receipt of an Exchange Notice and
satisfaction of the conditions to such exchange, the Company and SSI shall be
obligated to effect the exchange of securities contemplated thereby.

          (b) As promptly as practicable following receipt by the Company of an
Exchange Notice, each of the Company and SSI shall, and shall cause each of its
respective subsidiaries and the officers, directors and employees of such
subsidiaries to, (i) make any and all required applications or filings with, and
seek any required consents, approvals or waivers from, any governmental or
regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended and the rules and regulations
thereunder (the "HSR Act") and applicable securities laws, (ii) use all
                 -------
reasonable efforts to obtain any and all such consents, approvals or waivers and
the termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, in each
case, which are reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of each
Exchange Right, and (iii) use reasonable efforts to cooperate with, and express
its support for, such other party's efforts to obtain any such consents,
approvals and waivers.  Upon receipt of such consents, approvals or waivers or
the expiration or termination of such waiting period, as the case may be, the
Company or SSI, as the case may be, shall notify the other of such receipt,
expiration or termination.  Upon the receipt of all such required consents,
approvals or waivers and the termination of any applicable waiting period under
the HSR Act, SSI shall surrender certificates representing the OpenTV Shares
specified in the applicable Exchange Notice in exchange for the appropriate
stock certificate(s) pursuant to paragraph 2(c) hereof.

          (c) At such time as all required consents, approvals, waivers and
terminations described in paragraph 2(b) have been obtained or waived, SSI shall
surrender its certificate or certificates for the Exchange Securities to be
exchanged, with appropriate stock powers attached, duly endorsed, at the office
of the Company or any transfer agent for the Exchange Securities, together with
a written notice to the Company that SSI is exchanging all or a specified number
of shares of OpenTV, represented by such certificate or certificates.  Promptly
thereafter, the Company shall issue and deliver to SSI, a certificate or
certificates representing the Exchange Securities to be issued, conveyed and
delivered to SSI pursuant to paragraph 1 dated the applicable Exchange Date (as
defined below).  Certificates representing the B Ordinary Shares of the Company
to be issued hereunder may include appropriate legends based on federal and
state securities laws or as required by that certain Investors' Rights Agreement
dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, SSI and others.

                                       2
<PAGE>

          (d) Each exchange of OpenTV Shares for Exchange Securities shall be
deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the date (the "Exchange
                                                                        --------
Date") of receipt by the Company or any such transfer agent of the Exchange
----
Notice referred to in paragraph 2(a) above, subject to all applicable conditions
to such exchange having been satisfied.

          (e) SSI shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of Exchange Securities as of the close of business on the Exchange Date;
provided, however, that no surrender of OpenTV Shares on any date when the stock
transfer books of the Company are closed for any purpose shall be effective to
constitute the person entitled to receive the Exchange Securities deliverable
upon such exchange as the record holder(s) of such shares of the Exchange
Securities on such date, but such surrender shall be effective (assuming all
other requirements for the valid exchange of such shares have been satisfied) to
constitute such person as the record holder of such shares of the Exchange
Securities for all purposes as of the opening of business on the next succeeding
day on which such stock transfer books are open. Without limiting the first
sentence of this paragraph 2(e), as of the close of business on an Exchange
Date, the rights and obligations of SSI as the holder of the applicable OpenTV
Shares shall cease (other than with respect to such holder's right to receive
the Exchange Securities, with respect to required consents, approvals, waivers
and terminations as described herein and its obligation to deliver the
applicable certificate(s) for OpenTV Shares as provided herein).

          (f) If SSI holds OpenTV Shares at the close of business on a record
date for any payment of declared dividends on such shares and the Company has
not received an Exchange Notice with respect to such OpenTV Shares on or before
such record date, SSI shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such
shares on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding receipt by the
Company of an Exchange Notice for such OpenTV Shares following such record date
and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date.

          (g) If the OpenTV Shares represented by a certificate surrendered for
exchange are exchanged in part only, then simultaneously with any such exchange,
OpenTV shall issue and deliver to SSI, without charge therefor, a new
certificate or certificates representing in the aggregate the number of
unexchanged shares.

     3.   Exchange Price Adjustments.  The Initial Exchange Price and the
          --------------------------
BVI Exchange Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided
below in this paragraph 3.

          (a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If OpenTV at any
              --------------------------------------------
time or from time to time after the date hereof effects a subdivision of the
OpenTV Shares, the Initial Exchange Price then in effect immediately before that
subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company at any time or
from time to time after the

                                       3
<PAGE>

date hereof effects a subdivision of the outstanding Exchange Securities, the
BVI Exchange Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased. If OpenTV at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof combines the outstanding OpenTV Shares into a smaller number of
shares, the Initial Exchange Price then in effect before the combination shall
be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time or from time to time
after the date hereof combines the outstanding Exchange Securities into a
smaller number of Shares, the BVI Exchange Price then in effect immediately
before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under
this subparagraph (a) shall become effective at the close of business on the
date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

          (b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions.  If the
              --------------------------------------------------
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof makes, or fixes a
record date for the determination of holders of Exchange Securities entitled to
receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of
Exchange Securities, then and in each such event the BVI Exchange Price then in
effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such
record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by
multiplying the BVI Exchange Price then in effect by a fraction (1) the
numerator of which is the total number of Exchange Securities issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of
business on such record date, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the
total number of Exchange Securities issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the
number of  Exchange Securities issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such
dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date
fixed therefor, the BVI Exchange Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the
close of business on such record date and thereafter the BVI Exchange Price
shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph 3(b) as of the time of actual
payment of such dividends or distributions.

          (c) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions.  In the event
              -------------------------------------------------
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof makes, or
fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Exchange Securities
entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of the
Company other than Exchange Securities, then and in each such event provision
shall be made so that SSI shall receive upon exchange of the OpenTV Shares, in
addition to the number of shares of Exchange Securities receivable thereupon,
the amount of securities of the Company which SSI would have received had the
OpenTV Shares owned by SSI been exchanged for Exchange Securities on the date of
such event and had SSI thereafter, during the period from the date of such event
to and including the date of exercise of the Exchange Right, retained such
securities receivable by SSI as aforesaid during such period, subject to all
other adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph 3(c) with
respect to the rights of SSI as a holder of the OpenTV Shares.

                                       4
<PAGE>

          (d) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.  In
              ----------------------------------------------------------
the event that at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, Exchange
Securities issuable upon the exchange of the OpenTV Shares is changed into the
same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether
by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or
combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this paragraph 3),
then and in any such event SSI shall have the right thereafter to convert such
shares into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by
holders of the maximum number of Exchange Securities into which such OpenTV
Shares could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization,
reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided
herein.

          (e) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets.  If
              -----------------------------------------------------------
at any time or from time to time after the date hereof there is a capital
reorganization of the Exchange Securities (other than a recapitalization,
subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for
elsewhere in this paragraph 3) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with
or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that
SSI shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exchange of the OpenTV Shares
the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder
of the number of Exchange Securities deliverable upon exchange would have been
entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale.  In any
such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions of this paragraph 3 with respect to the rights of SSI as a holder of
the OpenTV Shares after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the
end that the provisions of this paragraph 3 (including adjustment of the BVI
Exchange Price then in effect and the number of Exchange Securities receivable
upon exchange of the OpenTV Shares) shall be applicable after that event and be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

     4.   Certificate of Adjustment.  In each case of an adjustment or
          -------------------------
readjustment of the Initial Exchange Price or BVI Exchange Price, as the case
may be, or the number of Exchange Securities or other securities issuable upon
exchange of the OpenTV Shares, the Company, at its expense, shall cause the
Chief Financial Officer of the Company to compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate
showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to SSI.  The certificate shall set forth such
adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (1) the BVI
Exchange Price, (2) the number of additional B Ordinary Shares of the Company to
be received by SSI upon the exercise of its Exchange Right and (3) the type and
amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon
exchange of the OpenTV Shares.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     5.   Notices of Record Date.  In the event of (i) any taking by the
          ----------------------
Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of
determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or
other distribution, or (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, or
any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any
other person or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the Company, the Company shall mail to SSI at least ten (10) days prior to
the record date specified therein (or such shorter time as may be determined in
good faith by the Board to be practicable under the circumstances, which shall
be not less than 3 Business Days), a notice (the "Notice") specifying (1) the
                                                  ------
date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or
distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (2) the date on
which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective,
and (3) the date, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record
of Exchange Securities (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their
Exchange Securities (or other securities) for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.  The Notice shall include all
material details relating to such dividend, distribution, reorganization,
reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company, including, without limitation, the type, amount and
the fair market value of any property or assets proposed to be distributed to
SSI as a holder of the OpenTV Shares in connection therewith.

          (f) Investment Representations.  SSI understands that none of the
              --------------------------
Exchange Securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").  SSI also understands that the Exchange
              --------------
Securities will be offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration
contained in the Securities Act based in part upon SSI's representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement.  SSI hereby represents and warrants as
follows:

                (i) SSI Bears Economic Risk.  SSI has substantial experience in
                    -----------------------
evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in
companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its
own interests.  SSI must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely
unless the Exchange Securities (or the shares issuable upon conversion thereof)
are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration
is available.

                (ii) Acquisition for Own Account. SSI is acquiring the Exchange
                     ---------------------------
Securities for SSI's own account for investment only, and not with a view
towards, or for resale in connection with, their distribution.

                (iii)  Accredited Investor.  SSI represents that it is an
                       -------------------
accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

                (iv) Company Information.  SSI has had an opportunity to
                     -------------------
discuss the Company's business, management and financial affairs with
directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to
review the Company's operations and facilities and is satisfied with the results
thereof. SSI has received all information it considers necessary or appropriate
for deciding whether to invest in the Company.

                (v) Rule 144.  SSI acknowledges and agrees that the Exchange
                    --------
Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
SSI has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a
private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

                (vi) Residence.   The office or offices of SSI in which its
                     ---------
investment decision with respect to the Company was made is located at 901 San
Antonio Road, Palo Alto, California 94303.

                (vii)  No Public Market.  SSI understands that no public market
                       ----------------
now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company

     8.  Reservation of B Ordinary Shares.  The Company shall at all times
         --------------------------------
reserve and keep available for issue upon the exchange of OpenTV Shares for
Exchange Securities such number of its authorized but unissued B Ordinary Shares
as will be sufficient to permit the exchange in full of OpenTV Shares held by
SSI.

     9.  Antidilution.  The Company, OpenTV, and SSI agree that it is their
         ------------
intention that following the date of this Agreement, SSI shall maintain the same
equity interest vis-a-vis OpenTV as it would have had if SSI had exchanged all
of its shares of Class B Common Stock of OpenTV for B Ordinary Shares of the
Company at an Exchange Rate of one Class B Common Stock for one B Ordinary
Share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof.  In furtherance of
the foregoing, each time that the Company issues additional A Ordinary Shares or
B Ordinary Shares (other than on conversion of B Ordinary Shares), OpenTV shall
sell and the Company shall purchase, at a purchase price of $0.001 per share, an
equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock of
OpenTV, respectively.  Each such sale by OpenTV and purchase by the Company
shall occur substantially concurrently with the issuance of A Ordinary Shares or
B Ordinary Shares by the Company.  SSI agrees that it shall not object to any
such transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made
pursuant to this Section if it has the effect of altering any of SSI's
contractual rights or otherwise adversely affecting SSI, including, without
limitation, by eliminating or altering SSI's rights to approve any BVI or
Delaware Fundamental Business Decisions under the Amended and Restated
Stockholders Agreement, dated of even date herewith, to which the Company, SSI
and OpenTV (among others) are parties, except merely by diluting SSI's
percentage equity interest in OpenTV.

     10.  Miscellaneous.
          -------------

          (a) Amendments.  No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall
              ----------
be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the other party
hereto.

          (b) Delays or Omissions.  It is agreed that no delay or omission to
              -------------------
exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach,
default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any
such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any
such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in
any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring.  It is
further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or
character on any party's part of any breach, default or noncompliance under this
Agreement, or any waiver on such party's part of any provisions or conditions of
the Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in such writing.
