                                    AGREEMENT


         This agreement ("EDS/Newco Agreement"), dated as of August 5, 1996, is
among Electronic Data Systems Corporation and EDS Technical Products Corporation
(collectively, "EDS") and Ascent Entertainment Group ("Ascent") and On Command
Video Corporation ("OCV"; collectively, the "Ascent Parties").

         RECITALS:

         A. SpectraVision, Inc. (for itself and its subsidiaries, including
without limitation Spectradyne, Inc.; collectively, the "Debtors") and EDS are
parties to the Phase 1 Information Technology Services Agreement, Phase 2
Information Technology Product and Services Agreement, and PCFM Agreement, as
modified and amended (the "EDS Contracts"). Addendum No. 4 to the Phase 1
Agreement, Addendum No. 2 to the Phase 2 Agreement and the PCFM (collectively,
the "Equipment Leases") set forth the terms of the leases of the Equipment (the
"Leased Equipment") supplied under the EDS Contracts. The Leased Equipment has
been, or is, installed at Debtors' pay-per-view sites in three basic
configurations (each configuration, a "Leased Configuration"). The Leased
Configurations consist of either (i) a satellite antenna, grounding kit, antenna
and IFL cable, LNB's, power kit, eight (8) IRD's and DEU's, modulators, and
related equipment and wiring ("Phase 1 Configuration"), (ii) an IRD, DEU and a
Phase 2 digital server ("Phase 2 Configuration"), or (iii) two IRD's, DEU's and
two Phase 2 servers (Phase 2-72 Hard Drive Configuration). Generally, each Phase
1 Configuration site has a personal computer ("PC") provided under the PCFM and,
generally, each Phase 2 or Phase 2-72 Hard Drive Configuration site has a Phase
1 Configuration installed.

         B. On June 8, 1995 the Debtors filed voluntary Chapter 11 Petitions in
In re SpectraVision, Inc., SPI Newco, Inc., Spectradyne, Inc., Spectradyne
International, Inc., Kalevision Systems, Inc. - USA, Debtors, (the "Case"),
pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
"Bankruptcy Court") as Case No. 95-659 (PJW) (Jointly Administered).

         C. The EDS Contracts consist of executory contracts and unexpired
leases which have not been assumed or rejected by the Debtors.

         D. By order dated February 1, 1996, the Bankruptcy Court approved the
EDS/SVN Term Sheet (the "EDS/SVN Term Sheet"), a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A".

         E. On April 19, 1996, the Ascent Parties, the Debtors and the
Creditors' Committee executed an agreement (the "Newco Agreement") and addendum
(the "Addendum") which set forth the terms and conditions under which
substantially all of the Debtors' assets will be acquired by an entity ("Newco")
to be formed by the Ascent Parties pursuant to a plan of reorganization.

         F. On June 21, 1996, the Debtors filed Debtors' Joint Plan of
Reorganization (as it may be amended, modified or supplemented, the "Plan") and
proposed Disclosure Statement.

         G. On August __, 1996, the Ascent Parties, the Debtors and the
Creditors' Committee executed an agreement ("Acquisition Agreement") which sets
forth the terms and conditions under which the Plan shall provide for
substantially all of the Debtors' assets to be transferred to Spectradyne, Inc.
(following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan and the
Acquisition Agreement, "New Spectradyne") and for all outstanding stock of New
Spectradyne to be contemporaneously acquired by Newco free and clear of all
liens, claims and encumbrances.

         H. Under the Newco Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement, the Ascent
Parties may direct the Debtors to move pursuant to the Plan to assume and assign
to Newco or New Spectradyne the EDS Contracts. The Ascent Parties have
determined that because of the obligations that would be assumed by New
Spectradyne and the cure amounts necessary to allow 



AGREEMENT
Page 2 of 19
<PAGE>   3
the Debtors to assume and assign the EDS Contracts, the Ascent Parties will not 
direct the Debtors to assume the EDS Contracts. The Debtors have stated that 
unless the Ascent Parties directed the Debtors to assume the EDS Contracts (in 
which event under the Newco Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement, New 
Spectradyne and Newco would be responsible for the payment of any cure amounts),
the Debtors would reject the EDS Contracts.

         I. In order to effectuate the transactions contemplated in the Newco
Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement, the Ascent Parties determined that it
would be advantageous for New Spectradyne to receive EDS services, technology
and leased equipment in order for New Spectradyne to provide satellite
transmitted digital pay-per-view content to hotel customers and their guests.

         J. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Newco
Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement, under the Addendum, the Ascent Parties
obtained the right to direct the Debtors and the Creditors' Committee to provide
releases of any affirmative claims that the Debtors or the Debtors' estates may
have against EDS in the event the Ascent Parties determined that such releases
are in the best interests of Newco. EDS has determined that one of the
conditions to any agreement under which EDS would provide services, technology
or leased equipment to Newco or New Spectradyne is obtaining such a release.
Therefore, the Ascent Parties have determined that the releases as provided for
in this EDS/Newco Agreement are in the best interests of Newco.

         K. In order to effectuate the transactions contemplated in the Newco
Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement, the Ascent Parties desire New
Spectradyne enter into an agreement, to be effective on the Effective Date, with
EDS on substantially the terms and conditions set forth in this EDS/Newco
Agreement, for which agreement, Newco and OCV will become co-obligors with New
Spectradyne.

         L. EDS' cooperation in entering into this EDS/Newco Agreement to
provide continuing services and use of leased equipment at reduced rates has
substantially contributed to the Debtors' reorganization under the Plan.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived
from this EDS/Newco Agreement and the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements contained herein, the Ascent Parties and EDS agree as follows:

         I. PLAN MODIFICATION. The Ascent Parties shall promptly cause the Plan
to be modified (the "Plan Modifications") as follows:

                  A. REJECTION OF EDS CONTRACTS. On the Effective Date, the EDS
Contracts shall be rejected by Spectradyne, and all restrictions on competition
or providing services or technology to third parties under the EDS Contracts
shall terminate.

                  B. CAC, TAC AND FMS LEASE. The post-petition lease(s)
authorized by the EDS/SVN Term Sheet shall be assumed by New Spectradyne in the
Plan and shall remain in full force and effect. On the Effective Date, Newco and
OCV shall become co-obligors with New Spectradyne on said post-petition leases.

                  C. ALLOWED ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. All unpaid administrative
expense claims set forth in the EDS/SVN Term Sheet as though extended to the
Effective Date shall be assumed by New Spectradyne in the Plan and shall be paid
as provided therein. On the Effective Date, Newco and OCV shall become
co-obligors with New Spectradyne on all unpaid administrative expense claims set
forth in the EDS/SVN Term Sheet. The unpaid administrative expense claims
assumed by New Spectradyne, and by Newco and OCV, as co-obligors of Spectradyne,
pursuant to Sections 3.A and 4 of the EDS/SVN Term Sheet for services rendered
or use of leased equipment (excluding DGC Maintenance) for the period from
October 1, 1996 through the earlier of the Effective Date or October 31, 1996
shall be equal to $900,000 minus any payments actually made by the Debtors for
Network Services (including Transponder but excluding DGC Maintenance) rendered
or leased equipment used during the month of October 1996, divided by 31,
multiplied by the number of days in said period. Other than as set forth in the
preceding sentence, Newco and OCV shall not be entitled to any credits for
obligations arising after the Effective Date for payments made by the Debtors
for Network Services (including Transponder) rendered and leased equipment used
during the month of October 1996.

                  D. RELEASE.

                     1. The Plan shall provide that on the Effective Date, the
Debtors and the Debtors' estates (collectively, the "Releasors"),
unconditionally release, discharge, and acquit EDS, its subsidiaries and
affiliates, their past, present and future officers, directors, agents,
servants, employees, attorneys, subcontractors, representatives, successors and
assigns (the "EDS Released Parties") of and from any and all claims,
obligations, liabilities, causes of action, damages and theories or rights of
recovery whatsoever (including those arising under the Bankruptcy Code), known
or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law,
equity or otherwise, that the Releasors may have had, now have, or in the future
may have for (x) affirmative relief, including, without limitation, damages
(direct, indirect, consequential, actual or punitive), refunds, turnover,
disgorgement, avoidance actions (including all rights or remedies under Chapter
5 of title 11 of the United States Code or other applicable law), (y)
affirmative relief asserting ownership by any person or entity other than EDS of
the Leased Equipment or the EDS Software, or (z) equitable actions for an

Leased Equipment or the EDS Software is subject to a constructive, statutory,
equitable, express or implied, trust in favor of the Debtors, the Debtors'
estates or any third parties (collectively, the "EDS Released Claims"). Without
limiting the foregoing, the EDS Released Claims include those arising from,
relating to, or connected with:

                        (a)  Any of the Debtors or the Debtors' estates;

                        (b)  The EDS Contracts or the EDS/SVN Term Sheet, 
including failure to perform any obligation thereunder;

                        (c)  Any (i) action or inaction; (ii) statement,   
mis-statement or omission; or (iii) representation or warranty (whether willful,

arising from, related to, or connected with, any service, labor, advice, 
technology, software, product, or equipment provided or furnished by or through 



AGREEMENT
Page 5 of 19
<PAGE>   6
the EDS Released Parties to, or used or relied on by, the Debtors, the Debtors' 
estates, or any third-party;

                        (d)  Any (i) action or inaction; (ii) statement,
mis-statement or omission; or (iii) representation or warranty (whether willful,
malicious, intentional or negligent) by the EDS Released Parties made in
connection with, or relied on by any person or entity in, (x) entering into or
modifying the EDS Contracts, (y) taking or not taking any action with respect
thereto, or (z) the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtors (or their
subsidiaries or predecessors);

                        (e)  The Leased Equipment or the EDS Software, including
any claims by the Releasors, the Debtors (or their domestic or foreign
subsidiaries) or the Debtors' estates of an interest in, or ownership of, the
Leased Equipment or the EDS Software, or rescission or avoidance of the
Equipment Leases; or

                        (f)  The allegations contained in the Original Complaint
for Declaratory Judgment, Equitable Subordination and Other Relief, on file in
the Bankruptcy Court in Adversary Proceeding No. 96-106.

                     2. Unless otherwise provided by Final Order, Debtors and
Reorganized SPI retain the right to assert any and all EDS Released Claims
referred to in the preceding paragraph I.D.1. above and any facts,
circumstances, claims or causes of action relating to the EDS Released Claims
for purpose of objection, disallowance, offset or subordination of any Claim
which EDS has or may assert in these cases. The Debtors and Reorganized SPI
explicitly retain the right to seek and obtain equitable subordination of any
Claims asserted in the Reorganization Case by EDS.

         II. EDS/NEW SPECTRADYNE CONTRACTS. Confirmation of the Plan shall
constitute the entry into an agreement (the "EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts")
among New Spectradyne, Newco, OCV and EDS. The EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts
shall contain those terms and conditions of the EDS Contracts which are not
otherwise modified by this EDS/Newco Agreement. On the Effective Date, New
Spectradyne, with Newco and OCV as co-obligors shall 


AGREEMENT
Page 6 of 19
<PAGE>   7
assume and timely discharge and perform all obligations and liabilities under
the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts. Subject to Section V of this EDS/Newco
Agreement, for purposes of the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts, whenever the terms
"Spectradyne", "SpectraVision", or "SPI" are used in the EDS Contracts, said
terms shall mean New Spectradyne.

        A.   AMENDMENTS.  The EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts shall contain the 
same terms as the EDS Contracts, modified and amended as set forth below.

             1.  EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the EDS/New Spectradyne 
Contracts shall be the effective date of the Plan (the "Effective Date").
Nothing herein shall modify or amend the EDS Contracts for any period prior to
the Effective Date.

             2.  TERM.  The EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts shall terminate at the
end of the forty-fifth (45th) full calendar month after the Effective Date (the
"Termination Date"). Provided, however, that Spectradyne may, by giving not less
than 90 days prior written notice to EDS,

                 (a)   terminate the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts at the end of
the twenty-first (21st) full calendar month after the Effective Date (the "Early
Termination Date"); or (b) terminate the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts, except
for the Equipment Leases. If New Spectradyne exercises this option,

                       (i)    EDS shall no longer be obligated to provide, and 
New Spectradyne shall no longer be obligated to purchase from EDS, Network
Services or Transponder;
            
                       (ii)   the monthly charges under the EDS/New Spectradyne 
Contracts shall be reduced by $400,000; and

                       (iii)  New Spectradyne shall remain liable under the 
Equipment Leases to the extent not transitioned or terminated pursuant to this
EDS/Newco Agreement.



AGREEMENT
Page 7 of 19
<PAGE>   8
             3.  CHARGES.  On the Effective Date, the monthly charges under the 
EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts for Network Services, Transponder(1), and the
Leased Equipment shall be reduced to $700,000 (prorated for any period from the
Effective Date until the end of the calendar month), plus encoding charges, as
set forth in Section II.A.4.(b), payable on the first day of each month during
the remaining term of the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts.

             4.  ADDITIONAL TRANSPONDER POWER AND ENCODING. During the remaining
term of the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts, and if New Spectradyne is in
compliance with the terms and conditions of the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts:

                 (a)  New Spectradyne may, by giving not less than 90 days  
                      written notice to EDS prior to December 31, 1996, continue
                      to receive the additional 60 watts transponder power for
                      the period from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997,
                      (and may give similar notice not less than 90 days prior
                      to the end of each consecutive calendar year thereafter
                      for which EDS may have the right to obtain such additional
                      60 watts transponder power with no increase in cost to EDS
                      over EDS' 1996 costs) at no additional charge in excess of
                      $700,000 per month as set forth in Section II.A.3. above.
                      EDS agrees to reasonably cooperate with New Spectradyne in
                      obtaining this additional power for the period of January
                      1, 1998 through the Early Termination Date or such other
                      periods less than a full calendar year as agreed at prices
                      to be negotiated. If New Spectradyne elects not to obtain
                      such power, the transponder power available to New
                      Spectradyne will revert to pre-1995 levels (60 watts) and
                      upon reversion to such lower power level, New Spectradyne
                      shall be entitled to a monthly reduction of $70,000.00
                      from the transponder charges set forth in Section II.A.3.
                      above.

                 (b)  EDS will provide NTSC encoding of DBVOD content to New 
                      Spectradyne for $35 per finished minute.

             5.  LEASED EQUIPMENT PURCHASE OPTION.  Subject to Section II.A.6. 
and 7., upon the expiration of the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts, New
Spectradyne shall 

-----------------------------
(1)    EDS shall provide the additional 60 watts transponder power through 
       December 31, 1996.

AGREEMENT
Page 8 of 19
<PAGE>   9
return all of the Leased Equipment to EDS; provided, however, that if New
Spectradyne is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the EDS/New
Spectradyne Contracts, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to EDS, New
Spectradyne shall have the option to purchase all of the Leased Equipment (or
one or more complete Leased Configurations or one or more PC's) from EDS (a) on
the Early Termination Date, (i) with respect to Leased Configurations, at prices
to be negotiated that will not exceed the Purchase Price Option Caps set forth
on Exhibit "B" for each of the Leased Configurations purchased, and (ii) with
respect to the PC's under the PCFM, at the then-current market value of the PC's
(assuming delivery to a third-party at New Spectradyne's cost) being purchased
that will not exceed the Purchase Price Option Caps set forth in Exhibit "B" for
PC's, or (b) on the Termination Date, with respect to Leased Configurations and
PC's, at the then-current fair market value (assuming delivery to a third-party
at New Spectradyne's cost) of the Leased Equipment that will not exceed the
Purchase Price Option Caps set forth in Exhibit "B" for each of the Leased
Configurations or PC's purchased.

             6.  EARLY TERMINATION OF EQUIPMENT LEASES.  Without terminating the
EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts, New Spectradyne may, by giving not less than
ninety (90) days prior written notice to EDS, terminate the Equipment Leases (as
to all of the Leased Equipment or one or more complete Leased Configurations or
one or more PC's) at the Early Termination Date and return to EDS all of the
Leased Equipment or the complete Leased Configurations or PC's as to which the
Equipment Leases have been terminated, subject to the right to purchase under
Section II.A.5. In the event that New Spectradyne terminates all or a portion of
the Equipment Leases under this Section II.A.6., for the remaining term of the
EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts, New Spectradyne shall pay EDS (i) $400,000 per
month for Network Services and Transponder, and (ii) lease payments for all
remaining Leased Equipment as determined in the following sentence. In the event
that New Spectradyne terminates, transitions to SkyLink America pursuant to
Section II.A.7., or purchases Leased Equipment covered by, the Equipment Leases
as to some, but not all of the Leased Configurations or PC's, the monthly lease
payments due under the Equipment Leases for the remainder of the Leased


AGREEMENT
Page 9 of 19
<PAGE>   10
Equipment shall be $300,000 less an amount equal to the monthly lease credit
("Monthly Lease Credit") for each of the Leased Configurations or PC's set forth
on Exhibit "B" multiplied by the respective number of Leased Configurations or
PC's purchased, terminated or transitioned to SkyLink America.

             7.   TRANSITION OF LEASED EQUIPMENT TO SKYLINK AMERICA. In the 
event that (a) New Spectradyne in good faith enters into an agreement with
SkyLink America pursuant to which New Spectradyne transfers to SkyLink America
one or more Leased Configurations or PC's for use by SkyLink America at site
installations being provided pay-per-view services by Debtors on the Effective
Date, (b) SkyLink America agrees to execute lease agreements ("SkyLink Leases")
with EDS covering such Equipment Configurations or PC's on terms no less
favorable than the terms of the Equipment Leases and providing for monthly lease
amounts equal to or greater than 120% of the Monthly Lease Credit for each of
the Equipment Configurations or PC's leased, and (c) there has been no material
adverse change in SkyLink America's financial condition since the Effective
Date, then EDS shall enter into the SkyLink Leases from the effective date of
the SkyLink Leases through the remaining term of the EDS/New Spectradyne
Contracts, and New Spectradyne shall pay EDS (a) $400,000 per month for Network
Services and Transponder, and (b) lease payments for all of the Leased Equipment
that has not been transitioned to SkyLink America or purchased, or for which the
Equipment Leases have not been terminated under this EDS/Newco Agreement.

             8.   TRANSITION  ACCOMMODATION. EDS and New Spectradyne acknowledge
that an orderly transition of services, technology and Leased Equipment may be
desirable to New Spectradyne prior to the Early Termination Date, and up to
fifteen (15) months thereafter (the "Convenience Period"). In the event New
Spectradyne terminates some or all of the Equipment Leases as of the Early
Termination Date, New Spectradyne may, by giving not less than thirty (30) days
written notice to EDS, begin de-installation of the Leased Equipment or PC's and
return same in commercially reasonable lots of Leased Configurations or PC's to
EDS beginning no sooner than ninety (90) days after the Effective Date;
provided, however, that for a 


AGREEMENT
Page 10 of 19
<PAGE>   11
period of one year after the Effective Date, New Spectradyne shall not
de-install and return to EDS for credit more than one-half of the Equipment
Configurations and PC's. Prior to the Early Termination Date, there shall be no
reduction in lease payments for all of the Leased Equipment or PC's, but New
Spectradyne shall be entitled to a credit ("Transition Credit") equal to the
Monthly Lease Credit for each of the respective Leased Configurations or PC's
for each full month remaining from the day that an Equipment Configuration or PC
is received by EDS prior to the Early Termination Date. Such credits may be
applied only to the Equipment Lease obligations during the Convenience Period.
During the Convenience Period, EDS shall continue to provide then-existing
Network Services and Transponder, and New Spectradyne shall pay EDS (i) $400,000
per month for such Network Services and Transponder, and (ii) lease payments for
all remaining Leased Equipment under the Equipment Leases less the Transition
Credit. Payments on such remaining Leased Equipment during the Convenience
Period shall be calculated in the same manner as payments on remaining Leased
Equipment following partial termination of the Equipment Lease as provided for
in the last sentence of Section II.A.6. above, less the Transition Credit. New
Spectradyne shall be responsible for all freight and insurance costs incurred in
the return of Equipment Configurations or PC's to EDS.

             9.   HARDWARE  SALES.  During the ninety (90) day period after the
Effective Date, EDS agrees to sell to New Spectradyne up to 2 of the remaining
DGC servers for $25,000 per server. Such sales shall be without warranty or
recourse, shall be sold "as is," shall not include maintenance, integration or
installation, and shall include the EDS software now used in the delivery of
services by EDS to the Debtors under the EDS Contracts.

             10.  SOFTWARE. During the term of the DS/New Spectradyne Contracts,
New Spectradyne shall be entitled to a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty
free license to use solely for New Spectradyne's operation of the CDVRO System
and Digitally Based Video On Demand System acquired from the Debtors (but not to
commercially exploit with or for the benefit of others) all EDS Software now
used in the delivery of services by EDS to the Debtors under the EDS Contracts.
All such license rights shall be limited to use in 


AGREEMENT
Page 11 of 19
<PAGE>   12
equipment purchased from, or leased by, EDS (or any substantially identical
equipment now in use by Debtors if acquired from other sources) or now in use by
the Debtors. Subject to the foregoing limitations, during the term of the
EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts, EDS will reasonably cooperate with New
Spectradyne in providing copies of EDS Software for use by New Spectradyne in
making enhancements to the EDS Software. All such enhancements shall be owned
by, and remain the property of, EDS; provided however, the license to EDS
Software as set forth in this Section II.A.10. shall extend to such
enhancements. At the Effective Date, with respect to equipment that (i) was
purchased from, or leased by, EDS or, (ii) may be sold to New Spectradyne
pursuant to Section II.A.9. above, EDS shall waive the Phase 2 License Fee. With
respect to equipment purchased by New Spectradyne pursuant to Sections II.A.5 or
II.A.9, New Spectradyne shall have a 10 year non-transferable, non-exclusive,
royalty free license in all EDS Software resident in such purchased equipment to
use solely for New Spectradyne's operation of such purchased equipment .

             11.  EXCLUSIVITY AND NON-COMPETITION.  New Spectradyne and EDS 
shall be released and relieved from any and all (a) obligations to use the other
as an "exclusive" provider of services, technology or equipment or (b)
restrictions on competition or providing services or technology to third parties
that may exist under the EDS Contracts or otherwise. Notwithstanding the above,
during the twenty-one (21) months following the Effective Date, and only so long
as New Spectradyne is in compliance with the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts, EDS
shall not provide Network Services (or similar services or equipment as provided
under this Agreement) to LodgeNet Corporation for its use in the hotel industry
in North America. Prior to the Effective Date, nothing herein shall be deemed to
be a waiver of EDS' right to be exclusive provider of technology and services to
the Debtors under the EDS Contracts.

             12.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  The total aggregate amount of all 
damages for which EDS may be liable to New Spectradyne, Newco or OCV under
Section 14.4(g) of the Phase 1 Agreement shall be $1 million. The total
aggregate amount of all damages for which EDS may be liable to New Spectradyne,
Newco or OCV under Section 14.4(h) of the 


AGREEMENT
Page 12 of 19
<PAGE>   13
Phase 1 Agreement shall be $2 million. EDS will not be liable to New
Spectradyne, Newco or OCV, whether based on an action or claim in contract,
equity, tort, negligence, intended conduct or otherwise, or for any amounts
representing loss of income, data, profits or savings or indirect, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages of the Debtors, New Spectradyne, Newco, OCV or
any third-party, and in no event will the amount of damages recoverable against
EDS for any and all acts, events or omissions exceed the total dollar amount
paid by New Spectradyne, Newco or OCV to EDS for services rendered or equipment
used after the Effective Date under the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts, for the
particular service or product that is the subject matter of, or is directly
related to, the cause of action upon which recovery is sought. For purposes of
this Section I.A.12., the monthly charges under the EDS/New Spectradyne
Contracts as set forth in Section I.A.3. shall be allocated as follows: Network
Services $150,000; Transponder $250,000; and Equipment Leases $300,000.
Inclusion of OCV and Newco in this Section II.A.12 shall not be construed to
create any duty, obligation or liability between EDS and OCV and Newco, except
as expressly set forth in this EDS/Newco Agreement.

             13.  WARRANTIES AND MAINTENANCE.  EDS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES,  
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

provided or equipment sold or leased. EDS shall have no obligation for
installation, maintenance, or service under the EDS Contracts.

             14.  TRANSPONDER/NETWORK SERVICE OPTION.  During the period 
beginning 6 months after the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (a) the
date on which New Spectradyne discontinues paying for and receiving Network
Services and transponder or (b) the Termination Date, if New Spectradyne is in
compliance with the terms and conditions of the EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts
and this EDS/Newco Agreement, New Spectradyne may, by giving EDS ninety (90)
days prior written notice, and subject to AT&T's (or its successor's) written
consent, which consent must be obtained prior to the exercise of this option,
purchase all of EDS' right, title and interest in the Telestar 401 satellite
transponder now used to broadcast

Debtors' content for $12 million (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price will
be reduced by $340,000 at the end of each three month period beginning with the
period ending March 31, 1997. If New Spectradyne exercises this purchase option,

                        (a)  EDS will transfer and assign to New Spectradyne all
of its right, title and interest in and to said transponder, any rights to
related additional transponder power, and any AT&T related warranties;

                        (b) New Spectradyne will assume (and indemnify EDS from)
any and all future obligations to AT&T arising thereunder;

                        (c) EDS shall no longer be obligated to provide, and New
Spectradyne shall no longer be obligated to purchase from EDS, Network Services
or Transponder;

                        (d) the monthly charges under the EDS/New Spectradyne  
Contracts shall be reduced by $400,000; and

                        (e) New Spectradyne shall remain liable under the 
Equipment Leases to the extent not transitioned or terminated pursuant to this
EDS/Newco Agreement. EDS' sale or assignment of its rights with respect to the
transponder shall be without recourse, representation or warranty.

         III.  SEPARATE RELEASE.  On the Effective Date, EDS, the Ascent 
Parties, Newco and New Spectradyne shall unconditionally release, discharge, and
acquit the other and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, their past,
present and future officers, directors, agents, servants, employees, attorneys,
subcontractors, representatives, successors and assigns, of and from any and all
claims, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, damages and theories of
rights of recovery whatsoever, known or unknown, founded or unfounded, existing
or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that each may have had, now
have, or in the future may have arising from, relating to, or connected with any
act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place up to the

agreements contained in this EDS/Newco Agreement (as well as applicable
modifications consistent with the EDS/SVN Term Sheet). New Spectradyne and EDS
agree to negotiate in good faith further amendments or modifications to the
EDS/New Spectradyne Contracts (including a restatement of the EDS/New
Spectradyne Contracts into a single document) to reflect the remaining
obligations of the parties. Unless inconsistent with the terms of this EDS/Newco
Agreement or the EDS/SVN Term Sheet, all remaining terms of the EDS/New
Spectradyne Contracts shall remain in full force and effect.

         VI.   EDS/SVN TERM SHEET. The Ascent Parties hereby consent to the
extension by the Debtors of the EDS/SVN Term Sheet to the Effective Date and
timely payment by Debtors of all obligations thereunder.

         VII.  CONDITIONS TO CLOSING. This EDS/Newco Agreement shall be
conditioned upon:

AGREEMENT
Page 19 of 19
<PAGE>   20
                                   EXHIBIT "A"

                                   TERM SHEET
                   AGREEMENT FOR TRANSITION OF FIELD SERVICES,
                   INTERIM PAYMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES,
                            AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS


1.       Transition.

         A. SpectraVision, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("SVN") will transition,
and relieve Electronic Data Systems Corporation and its subsidiaries
(collectively "EDS") from all future liability and responsibility for, Field
Services, including the Technical Assistance Center ("TAC"), the Customer
Assistance Center ("CAC"), and On-Site Services ("OSS") (collectively, "FS") and
Facilities Management Services ("FMS"), on the date that is sixty-six days after
entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving this agreement or such other
date as the parties may mutually agree (the "Transition Date"). Following
Bankruptcy Court approval, EDS shall give notice of its intention to terminate
EDS' subcontract with Granada Computer Services (UK) Limited ("Granada"). EDS
will not object to a transition of CAC prior to the Transition Date after
Bankruptcy Court approval.

         B. EDS and SVN will reasonably cooperate in the transition of FS and
FMS (including formulation of a joint transition plan), interviews of EDS
employees assigned to FS and FMS, and accounting for SVN's CDVRO, DBVOD and PCFM
spare parts in EDS' possession (including the three uninstalled DGC servers).
EDS will reasonably cooperate with, and reasonably assist, SVN in seeking
Granada's cooperation in the transition of that portion of FS performed by
Granada to SVN, interviews of Granada employees assigned to FS, and Granada's
accounting for, and delivery of, SVN's spare parts in Granada's possession. Upon
transition of FMS, the Base Services Charge will be reduced by $90,000 per
month, prorated for any partial months.

         C. Upon SVN's written request to EDS received not less than ten days
prior to the Transition Date, EDS will "lease" the full-time EDS employees then
assigned to FS and FMS. With respect to each "leased" employee, the term of each
such "lease" shall commence on the Transition Date and shall end on the earlier
of (i) 90 days after the Transition Date, (ii) termination or resignation of
such "leased" employee from EDS, (iii) disability of such "leased" employee,
(iv) transfer or reassignment of such "leased" employee (following at least 30
days prior written notice to SVN), or (v) SVN's determination to discontinue its
use of such "leased" employee (following at least 30 days prior written notice
to EDS). EDS' SVN account management will not initiate efforts to transfer or
reassign any "leased" employee during the term of any such "lease".

         The charges for each "leased" employee shall be:

CAC      $5,000 per month, prorated for any partial months, or as otherwise 
         mutually agreed. 

TAC      $6,300 per month, prorated for any partial months, or as otherwise
         mutually agreed. 

FMS      $11,500 per month, prorated for any partial months, or as otherwise 
         mutually agreed.

FS       $81 per hour (M-F 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.)
         $122 per hour (M-F 5:01 p.m.  midnight; Sat 8:00 a.m.  midnight)
         $162 per hour (M-Sat Midnight - 7:59 a.m.; Sunday & Holidays)
         $162 per hour (Expedite Fee)
<PAGE>   21
         The charge for each FS "leased" employee shall include continued use of
any vehicle currently assigned to such "leased" employee or a comparable
substitute. FS charges shall be based on: one hour minimum; 1/4 hour increments
thereafter; portal to portal billing. EDS shall have no obligation to replace
said "leased" employees.

         D. On the Transition Date (or with respect to FMS, on such earlier date
as FMS is transitioned) EDS shall be relieved from, and SVN shall hold EDS
harmless from, financial responsibility for (and SVN shall no longer be entitled
to any credits for) all costs associated with FS and FMS, which were assumed by
EDS from SVN. To the extent any agreements or leases associated with FS and FMS,
were assigned to EDS, EDS will assign without recourse or warranty same back to
SVN.

         E. SVN shall promptly pay, and conditioned upon payment of, the
post-petition invoice for DGC training in November, 1995, in the approximate
amount of $6,500, for a period of ninety (90) days after the Transition Date,
EDS will continue to provide DGC training to employees of SVN in the same scope
as provided by EDS to SVN prior to the Transition Date at the rate of $2,000 per
session. Training will be in the Dallas area or at such other locations as
mutually agreed.

2.       Financial Assistance for Transition.

         A. EDS will defer payment of $900,000 per month for monthly FS charges
set forth in Section 4(E) below and PPO charges set forth in Section 4(F) below
for a period of two months beginning with the invoices that first become payable
after the Effective Date (as defined in Section 10 below), and such deferred FS
charges shall be an allowed administrative claim in the amount of $1.8 million.
SVN will pay the deferred amount in 12 equal consecutive monthly installments,
with the first installment being paid on the earlier of August 1, 1996 or 60
days after the effective date of its plan of reorganization (the "Plan Effective
Date"). EDS will not accelerate the timing of the delivery of the FS invoices.

         B. EDS and SVN will enter into a two-year post-petition capital lease
with bargain purchase option for the CAC, TAC and FMS equipment now located at
SVN's facilities it Richardson, Texas at 12% debt rate and on standard
commercial terms based on EDS' then current book value; provided, however, SVN
may terminate the CAC, TAC and FMS equipment lease at any time after the end of
the first year of the lease upon 60 days written notice. If SVN elects to use
the Expert Advisor Software, SVN will pay any required license or transfer fees
for its use of the Expert Advisor Software.

         3. Transponder DGC Encoding and DGC Content Services or "Refresh".

         A. If, and only for so long as SVN remains in compliance with the terms
of this agreement and its post-petition obligations arising under the Phase 1,
Phase 2 and PCFM Agreements, as amended (the "EDS Contracts"), FDS will provide
the additional transponder power on a month-to-month basis for $99.000 per month
in addition to the existing $208,000 per month charge for the initial power. The
total amount of $307,000 per month is payable in advance.

         B. If, and only for so long as SVN remains in compliance with the terms
of this agreement and its post-petition obligations arising under the EDS
Contracts, EDS will provide (i) NTSC encoding of SVN's DBVOD content on a month
to month basis for $35 per finished minute, and (ii) delivery of DBVOD content
services or "refresh" of DBVOD, in each case, in the same manner and scope as
EDS is currently providing. Nothing herein is intended to prohibit EDS and SVN
from entering into an 


                                       2
<PAGE>   22
agreement pursuant to which, conditioned upon SVN's agreement to purchase 
certain minimum amounts of encoding minutes, EDS will provide PAL encoding.

         4. Continuing Post-Petition Payments. In addition to the amounts
described in Sections I(C), l(E,), Sections 2 and 3, above, and Section 5,
below, SVN will timely pay EDS (or with respect to the PCFM, TPC) all invoices
for charges under the EDS Contracts that, since December 1, 1995, leave or will
come due. The approximate monthly charges are listed below, and the exact
charges will be determined in accordance with the applicable EDS Contract:


                                                                                      
         A.   Phase 1 Lease                                                                         $203,348.45

         B.   Phase 2 Lease                                                                         $298,342.03

         C.   PCFM Lease                                                                            $139,473.78

         D.   Base Service Charge Network Services                                                  $526,320.85

These charges will be timely paid in full, without offset, as allowed
administrative expenses, subject only to bona fide disputes as to accuracy of
billing and minus (i) the deferrals described in Section 2(A) above, and (ii)
the credit(s) described in Section I (B) above and this Section 4. SVN will not
apply any disputed credits against these amounts unless agreed to by SVN and EDS
or TPC.

5.       Past-Due Post-Petition Balances.

         A. The past-due post-petition balance of $1,117,929.15 for the services
described on Exhibit A will be an allowed administrative expense claim in said
amount, and will be paid, without offset, in 12 equal consecutive monthly
payments beginning June 1, 1996.

         B. The past due post-petition balances for the services and in the
amounts described on Exhibit B hereto have been compromised and settled, and
will be an allowed administrative claim in the reduced amount of $500,000. SVN
will pay this allowed administrative expense claim of $500,000, without offset,
in 12 equal consecutive monthly installments, with the first installment being
paid on the earlier of August 1, 1996 or 60 days after the Plan Effective Date.

6.       Allowed Administrative Claims. All unpaid obligations arising tinder 
this agreement, including without limitation, lease obligations and deferrals,
shall be allowed administrative expense claims under 11 U.S.C. Section 503,
shall not be subject to any superpriority administrative claims other than those
of Foothill, and shall be a first priority administrative expense claim in the
event SVN's Chapter 11 case is converted to a case under Chapter 7.

7.       Pending Motions. So long as SVN is in compliance with this agreement,
EDS and TPC will continue the hearing date(s) for their motions for allowance
and payment of administrative expenses and to set a deadline for assumption or
rejection of the EDS Contracts. Without waiving any of its rights under the EDS
Contracts, EDS agrees to withdraw its objection to SVN's pending motion for
authority to enter into the proposed agreement with Tilt-Rac.

8.       Reservation of Rights.

         A.   This agreement is neither an assumption nor rejection of the EDS 
Contracts.

         B.   Except as expressly set forth herein, all parties reserve their
respective rights and obligations under the EDS Contracts. By entering into this
agreement, neither party is admitting liability to the other. Without limiting
the foregoing, the transition of FS and FMS is not (i) an admission of, and
shall not be received in, evidence as proof of, failure by EDS (or its
subcontractors) to perform under the EDS Contracts, or (ii) a modification of
the EDS Contracts. EDS retains the right to assert all claims arising out of FS
and FMS, including those arising after the Transition Date and those arising as
a result of any rejection of any of the EDS Contracts; and SVN retains the right
to assert all claims arising out of FS and FMS up to, but not after, the
Transition Date; and subject to the provisions of the applicable EDS Contract,
all parties retain any defenses, rights or remedies that may be available to
them.

         C.   Without waiving any of its rights under the EDS Contracts, EDS 
will reasonably cooperate. with SVN in its efforts to obtain replacements parts,
technical information, and engineering services from third parties; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 8(C) shall be construed 


                                       4
<PAGE>   24
to permit SVN to purchase computers from any third party. Nothing in this
Section 8(C) shall be construed to limit or diminish in any way the license
rights granted SVN under Sections 11.4 or 11.5 of the Phase 1 Agreement or
Section 4.2 of the Phase 2 Agreement with respect to computers purchased by SVN
from EDS or with respect to software used thereon, nor shall any license granted
by EDS to any software pursuant to the EDS Contracts extend to the use of any
such software on computers purchased from any party other than EDS. As used in
this Section 8(C), the term "computer" does not include spare or replacement
parts. Except as expressly set forth herein, the warranties on equipment and
software, if any, will remain as provided for in the EDS Contracts.

         D.   To the extent that SVN's provision of FS or FMS, or the use of
equipment or systems not entirely supplied by EDS or TPC adversely affects EDS'
or TPC's ability to provide any service or meet any performance standard under
the EDS Contracts or to otherwise perform their obligations under the EDS
Contracts, EDS and TPC will be relieved of such obligations, and SVN will,
nonetheless, pay EDS or TPC for all services performed or products provided by
EDS or TPC. To the extent that EDS' performance of any of its remaining
obligations under the EDS Contracts is prevented, hindered or delayed by the
nonperformance or failure to reasonably cooperate with EDS, by SVN, or any third
party on behalf of SVN, EDS will be excused from the performance of those
obligations and from any performance standards and performance penalties related
to those excused obligations.

         E.   Notwithstanding Section 8(B) above, without waiving any of its 
other rights under, or arising from any rejection or alleged breach of, any of
the EDS Contracts, EDS waives any right to seek specific performance of its
right to provide FS or FMS after the Transition Date.

         F.   With respect to any material and substantial failure by EDS, after
the Effective Date (as defined in Section 10 below), to deliver any remaining
services or products under the EDS Contracts in the same manner and scope as
currently provided to SVN, SVN reserves the right to seek an order of the
Bankruptcy Court relieving SVN from its prospective obligations under Section 4
above and the allowance of prospective administrative expense claims under
Section 6 above; and, in such event, (i) SVN, EDS and TPC shall have such
rights, remedies and defenses that may be otherwise available to them, and (ii)
the obligations of EDS arising under Sections 1(B), 1(C), 1(E), 2(A), 2(B),
3(A), 3(B), and 7 shall expire.

9.       Term. nless otherwise mutually agreed, the obligations of EDS and SVN 
arising under Sections 1(C), 1(E), 2(A), 3, 4 and 7 hereof shall expire on the
earlier of. (i) August 31, 1996, (ii) rejection of any or all of the EDS
Contracts, (iii) conversion of either or both of the SpectraVision or
Spectradyne Chapter 11 cases to Chapter 7 cases, or (iv) the Effective Date.

10.      Bankruptcy Court Approval. This agreement shall be effective and is
conditioned upon Bankruptcy Court approval and the entry of an Order on or
before March 1, 1996 (such date, the "Effective Date") agreeable to EDS and SVN
under 11 U.S.C. Sections 363 and 364 and Bankruptcy Rule 9019 (a)
authorizing the transactions and payments, (b) granting authority for debtors to
obtain post-petition credit and leases, (c) granting EDS and TPC allowed
administrative expense claims for any post-petition unpaid obligations, (d)
prohibiting superpriority administrative expense claims except for Foothill,
liens of equal or senior priority, or 11 U.S.C. Section 506(c) surcharges or
liens, (e) approving the release as to future liability after the Transition
Date as to FS and FMS, (f) granting EDS the protections under 11 U.S.C. Section 
364(e), and (g) providing that EDS' and TPC's rights and priorities may not be
modified or abridged by any plan of reorganization unless EDS and TPC shall have
consented.

11.      Miscellaneous. The parties to this Term Sheet contemplate entering into
a definitive settlement agreement and amendments to the EDS Contracts. Unless
defined in this Term Sheet, all initial 


                                       5
<PAGE>   25
capitalized terms s,all have the meanings ascribed in the EDS Contracts. The
automatic stay shall be modified to allow EDS or TPC to file such financing
statements as EDS shall determine are necessary or appropriate, and to otherwise
effect the transactions provided for herein.
