-------SUBSCRIBER PROVISIONS -------------

1.) The lifelong subscriber named on the face of this confimation notice qualifies as a lifelong subscriber to the Dominion Sky Angel basic package of television and radio channels provided that the prescribed lump-sum lifelong one-time subscription has either been paid in full, or will have been paid in full within no more than 12 months from the date Dominion received the subscriber's initial lifelong subscription installment payment. Failure to fully pay the lifelong subscription in full within the prescribed 12-month time period will render the lifelong subscription null and void and subscriber will be required to pay the subscription amount in effect at that time,

2.) The Dominion DBS Television & Radio System is comprised of two entities: (1) Dominion Video Satellite, Inc. ("DVS"), a Florida commercial corporation, and Dominion Foundation, Inc. ("DFI") a Florida, federally chartered 501(c)3 not-for profit corporation, The primary purpose of the Dominion DBS Television and Radio System is to provide Christian religious, educational, children's and family programming via direct broadcast satellite ("DBS") channels licensed to and operated by Dominion Video Satellite, Inc. DVS is primarily involved in holding the DBS FCC license and is engaged in contracting for DBS satellites and launch services, including operation of a Network Control Center which provides technical services needed to transmit programming, DFI leases television and radio channels from DVS in order to provide multiple channels of television and radio programming under the name Sky Angel.

3.) In order to expedite the availability of its DBS service, DVS leased surplus DBS transponders on EchoStar III, a DBS satellite Q1;ned by EchoStar Communications Corporation, another DBS licensee, Transponders are the equipment on-board the DBS satellite that exclJ.lsively receive and retransmit the Sky Angel DBS television and radio channels using DVS' FCC-licensed DBS frequencies, No one other than Dominion can use these frequencies and transponders without the pennission of DVS, EchoStar III was successfully launched in October 1997 with all eight of DVS' FCC-licensed DBS frequencies installed thereon, EchoStar III has a projected operating-lifetime of 12 to 14 years, There are backup transponders on the EchoStar III DBS satellite in order to provide replacements in the event of transponder failure, In addition, DVS has contracted to construct a backup DBS satellite for launch in approximately the year 2002 to provide additional backup in the unlikely event of a total EchoStar III DBS satellite failure, Once the EchoStar III DBS satellite ends its useful life, DVS plans to move all of its licensed DBS frequencies to a DVS owned/controlled DBS satellite,

4.) The primary source of funding for the Dominion DBS Television and Radio System is expected to come from individual subscribers paying either an ongoing monthly subscription fee or by prepaying a lump-sum subscription for a period of years, During the first 30 months of operation DVS offered lifelong subscriptions for a one-time payment which is being discontinued for any new subscribers, For those who purchased the lifelong subscription it will last for the operating lifetime of the Dominion Sky Angel domestic U,S, DBS service and for the lifetime of the subscriber and his or her spouse without any further monthly subscription fees and includes a minimum of 32 television and radio channels selected at Dominion's sole discretion, Once a lifelong subscription is activated to receive Sky Angel programming it is non-assignable and non-transferable,



5.) As is the case for all FCC-licensed television and radio stations, the Federal Communications Commission requires that a DBS satellite licensee also meet certain licensing and operating standards, Failure or inability to continue to maintain such standards could result in the loss of the DBS license,

6.) DBS television and radio services in the United States can be received on two different proprietary home receiving systems available under the brand names "DSS" and DISHTM," Dominion Sky Angel has chosen to use the DISH'M- brand DBS receiving system for its customers, The DISH'M brand is owned by the EchoStar Communications Corporation, The "DSS" system which is owned by DIRECTV will not receive Sky Angel channels, In order to receive the Sky Angel channels, subscribers will need to purchase and install the DISH'M-brand 18-inch receiving antenna and receiver box available directly from the DISHTM Network by calling 1-800-333-DISH or for sale over-the-counter at Sears stores, Sam's Clubs, local DISHTM satellite dealers listed in the Yellow Pages and an ever expanding list of other retailers, All pricing, warranties and service for the DISHTM-brand home receiving system package shall be governed by the terms and conditions outlined by the equipment manufacturer, EchoStar Communications Corporation,

7.) Specific channels and programs on the Dominion Sky Angel DBS Television and Radio System are subject to change without notice, and Dominion reserves the right to replace entire channels or programs in its sole discretion, Most existing full channel programmers have long-term contracts for carriage on Sky Angel subject to maintaining certain program content and other contractual requirements, Each full-channel and individual programmer is required to sign Dominion's "Statement of Faith" which is printed in Dominion's promotional brochure,

8.) Dominion is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to operate its DBS television and radio channels from the 61.50 west longitude DBS satellite orbital position, 22,300 miles in space over the equator, The entire package of multiple Sky Angel television and radio channels can only be received by installing a DISHTM-brand receiving system, and by pointing the 18-inch receiving antenna to the 61.50 W,L. satellite orbital location, Optional DISH'M Network channel packages at various prices are also available by purchasing and installing a second 18-inch receiving antenna pointed to the 1190 W,L. DBS satellite orbital location, Channels being received from two small antennas are electronically combined into a single cable going to a television set so that all Sky Angel channels and optional DISH'M Network channels are seamlessly integrated for reception by one receiver box and one on-screen TV guide for easy selection and viewing using one hand-held remote control. In addition to the program charges, there may be an additional monthly charge from the DISH'M Network for each additional receiver box installed for viewing on two or more TV sets,
