          a.  The last two sentences of Section 2(a)(i)/1/ of the Original
              Agreement (the "Original Sentences") are deleted in their entirety

              monies owed solely in connection with Affiliate's distribution of
              the Service, then the amount prepaid shall not be included in
              Gross Receipts unless and until a Credit Transaction in connection
              with prepayments for the Service (as defined below in Section 2(a)
              (ii)(A)) has occurred which is credited against such prepayment.

that upon the earlier to occur of (i) the time at which Affiliates financial
system is reasonably capable of including prepayments in Gross Receipts for the
calendar month in which a prepayment is received (as determined by Affiliate in
its reasonable discretion) or (ii) the time at which Affiliate accounts to any
of its other distributors for prepayments in the calendar month in which a
prepayment is received rather than at the time at which a DirecTV Subscribers
views the programming (if either event actually occurs), then the Original
Agreement shall be deemed to be amended such that the Original Sentences are
inserted in place of the amendment set forth in Section 1, above. Each of the
parties agrees that, if either event actually occurs, then it will promptly
execute such documents as are reasonably necessary to memorialize such
amendment.
