Re: LCI Indemnity of H. F. Lenfest on Australis Movie Studio Agreements         
                                                                                
Dear Sam:                                                                       
                                                                                
In consideration of the indemnity by Lenfest New Jersey, Inc., Lenfest York,    
Inc., Lenfest Raystay, Inc. and MicroNet, Inc. (to the extent MicroNet may incur
the indebtedness created by providing the indemnity without creating a default  
under its borrowing agreements) of me for any loss I may suffer in making good  
my personal guarantee to the movie studios under their license agreements with  
Australis Media Limited, I release LCI and the Restricted Subsidiaries from     
their indemnification obligation to me under the AML Movie Studio Guaranty      
Liability until the last to occur of September 30, 1997 or the last day of any  
fiscal quarter when the funding of such indemnity would not cause LCI to be in  
default under the Agreement.                                                    
                                                                                
Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning given in the Credit       
Agreement, dated as of June 27, 1996, among LCI and the banks party thereto.    
                                                                                
In my absence, please prepare the necessary legal documentation to reflect this 
arrangement, but in any event, LCI is released from its indemnity obligations as
of today.
