               SS/L-TP93002- 01 dated March 2, 1993,

               (a) allow Contractor to commence long lead material procurement
               activities, and (b) to extend the term of the contract.

               NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
               conditions in this Amendment and in the Agreement, the receipt
               and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
               hereto agree as follows:


               A. Replace "RESERVED" at Article 16 with the following new
               article:

               ARTICLE 16. EARLY START FOR LONG LEAD MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

               A contract amendment between the parties is contemplated which
               will change the configuration of the satellites to the
               configuration described in the draft Amendment #10 dated 21 March
               1997. In anticipation of the Parties' execution of such an
               amendment, upon Contractor's receipt of $6.5 million, the
               Contractor shall commence to perform the work associated with the
               first five months of the program schedule, which consists
               primarily of long lead material procurement activity.


               B. Change ARTICLE 44 AGREEMENT EXPIRATION to the following:

               It is agreed between the Parties that if CD Radio Inc. has not
               been granted license and construction permit from the Federal
               Communication Commission by the end of April 30, 1997, then the
               provisions of this Contract shall become null and void, and the
               Parties shall have no further obligation whatsoever to each
               other, and no financial obligation shall exist by either Party to
               the other Party.
