         petition is filed; or file an answer or other pleading within such
         60-day period admitting or failing to deny the material allegations of
         such a petition or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the relief
         therein provided;

                          (c)        have entered against it an order for
         relief in any involuntary case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code;

                          (d)        seek relief as a debtor under any
         applicable law, other than the Bankruptcy Code, of any jurisdiction
         relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors, or to the
         modification or alteration of the rights of creditors, or consent to
         or acquiesce in such relief;

                          (e)        have entered against it an order by a
         court of competent jurisdiction (i) finding it to be bankrupt or
         insolvent, (ii) ordering or approving its liquidation, reorganization
         or any modification or alteration of the rights of its creditors or
         (iii) assuming custody of, or





                                      19
   26
         appointing a receiver or other custodian for, all or a substantial
         portion of its property; or

                          (f)        make an assignment for the benefit of, or
         enter into a composition with, its creditors, or appoint, or consent
         to the appointment of, or suffer to exist a receiver or other
         custodian for, all or a substantial portion of its property.

                 8.1.8    Lender and its Affiliates shall cease to beneficially
own and control a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of Company entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency)
to vote for the election of members of the board of directors of Company.

                 8.1.9    Lender shall fail to make any payment when due in
respect of or should otherwise be in breach or default of (in each case, after
giving effect to any applicable grace period) the Blockbuster Credit Facility.

         8.2     Certain Actions Following an Event of Default.  If any one or
more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in each and every
such case:

                 8.2.1    No Obligation to Extend Credit.  Lender may terminate
the obligations of Lender to make any further extensions of credit under the
Credit Documents by furnishing notice thereof to the Borrowers; provided,
however, that the obligations of Lender to make any further extensions of
credit under the Credit Documents shall automatically terminate without notice
to the Borrowers upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Default.

                 8.2.2    Specific Performance; Exercise of Rights.  Lender may
proceed to protect and enforce Lender's rights by suit in equity, action at law
and/or other appropriate proceeding, either for specific performance of any
covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document
or in any instrument or assignment delivered to the Lender pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any such instrument
or assignment.

                 8.2.3    Acceleration.  Lender may, by notice in writing to
the Borrowers, declare all or any part of the unpaid balance of the Credit
Obligations then outstanding to be immediately due and payable, and thereupon
such unpaid balance or part thereof shall become so due and payable without
presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived; provided, however, that if a Bankruptcy Default shall
have occurred, the unpaid balance of the Credit Obligations shall automatically
become immediately due and payable; provided, however, that if an Event of
Default described



                                      20
   27
in Section 8.1.9 has occurred and is continuing but at the applicable time of
determination the Indebtedness incurred under the Blockbuster Credit Facility
has not been accelerated, then Lender may not by reason of such Event of
Default, declare all or any part of the unpaid balance of the Credit
Obligations then outstanding to be immediately due and payable until such time,
if ever, that the Indebtedness under the Blockbuster Credit Facility is
accelerated.

                 8.2.4    Enforcement of Payment; Setoff.  Lender may proceed
to enforce payment of the Credit Obligations in such manner as it may elect and
to realize upon any and all rights in the Credit Security.  Lender may offset
and apply toward the payment of the Credit Obligations (and/or toward the
curing of any Event of Default) any Indebtedness from Lender to the respective
Obligors, regardless of the adequacy of any security for the Credit
Obligations.  Lender shall have no duty to determine the adequacy of any such
security in connection with any such offset.

                 8.2.5    Cumulative Remedies.  To the extent not prohibited by
applicable law which cannot be waived, all of the Lender's rights hereunder and
under each other Credit Document shall be cumulative.

         8.3     Annulment of Defaults.  Any Default or Event of Default shall
be deemed to exist and to be continuing for any purpose of this Agreement until
such Default or Event of Default has been completely cured in every respect or
the Lender shall have waived such Default or Event of Default in writing or
entered into an amendment to this Agreement which by its express terms cures
such Default or Event of Default.  No such action by the Lender shall extend to
or affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any rights of
the Lender upon the occurrence thereof.  The making of any extension of credit
during the existence of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a
waiver thereof.

         8.4     Waivers.  Each of the Borrowers waives to the extent not
prohibited by the provisions of applicable law that cannot be waived:

                          (a)        all presentments, demands for performance,
         notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the
         provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document), protests,
         notices of protest and notices of dishonor;

                          (b)        any requirement of diligence or promptness
         in the part of Lender in the enforcement of its rights under this
         Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document;



                                      21
   28
                          (c)        any and all notices of every kind and
         description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule
         of law.

9.       Expenses; Indemnity.

         9.1     Expenses.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be consummated (unless such transactions are not consummated solely by
reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender), the Borrowers
will pay:

                          (a)        all reasonable expenses of Lender
         (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel
         to Lender including allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection
         with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and
         administration of this Agreement, each other Credit Document, the
         transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and operations hereunder
         and thereunder;

                          (b)        all recording and filing fees and transfer
         and documentary stamp and similar taxes at any time payable in respect
         of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Credit Security or
         the incurrence of the Credit Obligations; and

                          (c)        to the extent not prohibited by applicable
         law that cannot be waived, all other reasonable expenses incurred by
         Lender or the holder of any Credit Obligation in connection with the
         enforcement of any rights hereunder or under any other Credit
         Document, including costs of collection and reasonable attorneys' fees
         (including a reasonable allowance for the hourly cost of attorneys
         employed by Lender on a salaried basis) and expenses.

         9.2     General Indemnity.  The Borrowers will, jointly and severally,
indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from any liability, loss or damage
resulting from the violation by the Borrowers of Section 2.3.  The Borrowers
will also, jointly and severally, indemnify Lender, each of the Lender's
directors, officers, employees, attorneys, and Affiliates and each Person, if
any, who controls Lender (Lender and each of such directors, officers,
employees and Affiliates and control Persons is referred to as an "Indemnified
Party") and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel) for
such Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or
judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnified
Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against that Indemnified Party, in any



                                      22
   29
manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents, Lender's agreement to make the Loans as provided herein, or the use
or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loans hereunder (the "Indemnified
Liabilities"); provided that Borrowers shall have no obligation to an
Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising
from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnified Party
or (ii) an investigative proceeding related primarily to the activities of
Lender.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless
set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is
violative of any law or public policy, and Borrower shall contribute the
maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law,
to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the
Indemnified Parties or any of them.  The indemnities contained in this
subsection shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this
Agreement, shall constitute separate and independent obligations of each
Borrower from its other obligations under this Agreement and shall give rise to
separate and independent causes of action against each Borrower.

10.      Successors and Assigns.  Any reference in this Agreement to any of the
parties hereto shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such
party, including without limitation any assignee or transferee of any of the
Loans, and all covenants and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrowers or
Lender that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Company
and its Subsidiaries may not assign their rights or obligations under this
Agreement.

11.      Notices.  Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice
required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing.  Any
notice, demand or other communication in connection with this Agreement shall
be deemed to be given if given in writing (including telex, telecopy or similar
teletransmission) addressed as provided below (or to the addressee at such
other address as the addressee shall have specified by notice actually received
by the addressor), and if either (a) actually delivered in fully legible form
to such address (evidenced in the case of a telex by receipt of the correct
answer back) or (b) in the case of a letter, five days shall have elapsed after
the same shall have been deposited in the United States mails, with first-class
postage prepaid and registered or certified.

         If to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to it in care of the
Company at its address set forth on the signature page hereof, to the attention
of the chief financial officer.

         If to Lender, to it at its address set forth on the signature page of
this Agreement, to the attention of the chief



                                      23
   30
financial officer with a copy to the assistant treasurer and director of cash
management.

12.      Course of Dealing; Amendments and Waivers.  No course of dealing
between Lender, on one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of
any of Lender's rights under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or
with respect to the Credit Obligations.  Each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries acknowledges that if the Lender, without being required to do so
by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, gives any notice or information
to, or obtains any consent from, any of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any
of their respective Affiliates, Lender shall not by implication have amended,
waived or modified any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, or created any duty to give any such notice or information or to
obtain any such consent on any future occasion.  No delay or omission on the
part of Lender in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Credit
Document or with respect to the Credit Obligations shall operate as a waiver of
such right or any other right hereunder or thereunder.  A waiver on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on
any future occasion.  No waiver, consent or amendment with respect to this
Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be binding unless it is in writing
and signed by Lender.

13.      Venue; Service of Process.  Each of the Borrowers:

                          (a)        Irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive
         jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the States of
         New York, Florida and California for the purpose of any suit, action
         or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any
         other Credit Document or the subject matter hereof or thereof.

                          (b)        Waives to the extent not prohibited by
         applicable law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a
         defense or otherwise, in any such proceeding brought in any of the
         above-named courts, any claim that it is not subject personally to the
         jurisdiction of such court, that its property is exempt or immune from
         attachment or execution, that such proceeding is brought in an
         inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper, or
         that this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the subject
         matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such court.

Each of the Borrowers and the Lender consents to service of process in any such
proceeding in any manner permitted by applicable state or federal law and
agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt



                                      24
   31
requested, at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 11 is reasonably
calculated to give actual notice.

14.      General.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in certificates
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied on by
Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by Lender on its behalf, and
shall survive the execution and delivery to the Lender hereof and thereof.  The
invalidity or unenforceability of any other provision hereof shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.  The headings in
this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or
otherwise affect the meaning hereof.  This Agreement and the other Credit
Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and current
understandings and agreements, whether written or oral.  Section 9 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts which together shall constitute one instrument.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INTERNAL LAWS (OTHER THAN THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

15.      Negotiations Regarding Possible Extension of Final Revolving Loan
Maturity Date.  If prior to March 31, 1997, the Blockbuster Credit Facility is
terminated, repaid or restructured (other than due to an acceleration of
Blockbuster's obligations thereunder) so as to result in an increased cost of
funds to Lender, then for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter
Lender and Borrowers will negotiate in good faith to reset the interest rates
and fees applicable to the Revolving Loans hereunder in order to take into
account Lender's increased cost of funds.

                                 REVOLVING NOTE


$75,000,000                                             as of January 31, 1994



         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned, Spelling Entertainment
Group Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), and certain of its
subsidiaries listed on the signature page hereof (together with the Company,
the "Borrowers"), jointly and severally, hereby promises to pay Blockbuster
Entertainment Corporation (the "Lender") or order, on the Final Revolving Loan
Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below), the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the loans made by the Lender to the
Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement.  The Borrowers jointly and
severally promise to pay daily interest, computed as provided in such Credit
Agreement, on the aggregate principal amount of such loans from time to time
unpaid at the per annum rate applicable to such unpaid principal amount as
provided in such Credit Agreement and to pay interest on overdue principal and,
to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, on overdue installments of
interest and fees at the rate specified in such Credit Agreement, all such
interest being payable at the times specified in such Credit Agreement, except

hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof.

         Payments hereunder shall be made to Lender at such account of Lender
as is specified by Lender in writing from time to time.

         This Revolving Note evidences borrowings under, and is entitled to the

(as defined in the Credit Agreement).  The principal of this Revolving Note is
prepayable in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Credit
Agreement, and may be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set
forth in the Credit Agreement.  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein are used herein with the meanings so defined.

         In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the entire
principal of this Revolving Note may become or be declared due and payable in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Credit Agreement.

provided in the Credit Agreement, and assent to extensions of time of payment,
