THIS INSTALLATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of the 9th day of September, 1996, by and between CUNARD LINE LIMITED, an
English corporation with its registered office located at 00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxx X0X 0XX Xxxxxxx ("Cunard"), and SEAVISION, INC., a Delaware corporation
having offices located at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,

RECITALS:
A. Cunard has requested that SeaVision replace the existing television
distribution and broadcast system onboard the Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx 2, a ship owned
and operated by Cunard (the "QE2").
B. Cunard has also requested that, during such replacement, SeaVision
operate and maintain the television distribution and broadcast system onboard
the QE2.
C. SeaVision has agreed to provide such requested services upon the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set
forth herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as
follows:
1. Replacement of Existing Television Distribution and Broadcast System.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SeaVision agrees to replace the existing television distribution and
broadcast system onboard the QE2 as of the date hereof with a new television
distribution and broadcast system comprised of the hardware components listed on
Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the "Hardware"). The installation of
the replacement system will be undertaken and completed for the fixed price set
forth in Section 5(a) in accordance with the installation schedule attached
hereto as Exhibit B (the "Installation Schedule"). TIME IS OF
THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. Cunard acknowledges that the QE2 contains
asbestos in certain of its
structural components, and agrees that Cunard is responsible, at its own cost
and expense, for undertaking all asbestos abatement and removal occasioned by
SeaVision's installation of the replacement system, which abatement and removal
will be undertaken in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations
and on a schedule that will permit SeaVision to perform its obligations
hereunder in a timely manner. If SeaVision is delayed in its performance of its
installation obligations under this Section 1 as a result of any delay by Cunard
in the abatement or removal of asbestos onboard the QE2, SeaVision's obligations
under the Installation Schedule shall likewise be delayed.
2. Scope of Operation and Maintenance Services to be Provided by

SeaVision.

SeaVision shall operate the television distribution and broadcast system onboard
the QE2, as those activities are described in Exhibit C attached hereto, and
shall provide such maintenance services as are required to keep the related
broadcast equipment in good operating order and repair. Such operation will
initially involve the existing television distribution and broadcast system
onboard the QE2 and will involve the new television distribution and broadcast
system as the same is installed onboard the QE2. In connection with SeaVision's
performance of the foregoing operation and maintenance obligations, SeaVision
shall provide all personnel reasonably necessary to fulfill such operation and
maintenance obligations, including one broadcast control manager (the "Manager")
who will remain onboard the QE2 on an on-going basis for so long as this
Agreement is in effect. SeaVision acknowledges that the Manager and any other of
its personnel from time to time onboard the QE2 shall at all times be employees
of SeaVision. SeaVision understands and agrees that, while onboard the QE2, its
personnel will be subject to the authority of the Master of the QE2 and the
officer(s) designated to oversee the operation of the broadcast activities.
SeaVision shall use its best efforts to ensure that its personnel will at all
times while onboard the QE2 comply with the operations manual of Cunard, in the
form then in effect.
(b) SeaVision's personnel serving onboard the QE2 shall promptly be
removed from such service, upon Cunard's request to SeaVision, in the event of:
(i) intoxication while onboard the QE2;
(ii) failure to comply with standards of professional and
personal conduct expected by Cunard of its own employees and the employees of
concessionaires onboard the QE2; and
(iii) failure to abide by safety rules and regulations
applicable to persons onboard the QE2.
3. Cunard Support.

So long as SeaVision is providing the foregoing services to Cunard,
Cunard shall:
(a) Make available to SeaVision:
(i) the QE2 to the extent necessary for SeaVision's

system on board the QE2;
(ii) such personnel as are reasonably necessary or appropriate
to assist SeaVision in the successful installation of such replacement system
and the successful operation and maintenance of such existing system;
(iii) all necessary storage and work space onboard the QE2 for
SeaVision's performance of its obligations hereunder; and
(iv) appropriate single-cabin accommodations onboard the QE2
for SeaVision personnel who are engaged in such installation, operation and
maintenance activities. The grade of such accommodations shall be at Cunard's
discretion. It is understood that SeaVision personnel occupying such
accommodations will, at all times while onboard the QE2, be subject to Cunard's
policies regarding onboard contractors, including those concerning dress,
decorum and personal behavior; and
(b) Furnish accommodations onboard the QE2 on mutually-agreeable
dates, to allow SeaVision senior personnel to monitor the on-going installation
of such replacement system onboard the QE2, the on-going operation and
maintenance of the then-existing system onboard the QE2 and the performance of
SeaVision's personnel. Cunard shall also provide the Manager with all other
perquisites that it provides to its employees of similar rank.
4. Term.

of the termination hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cunard may, at any
time after SeaVision's completion of the installation of the Hardware onboard
the QE2, terminate this Agreement upon fourteen (14) days' prior notice in the
event QE2 is sold, bareboat chartered or time chartered to any third party for a
period longer than one (1) month.
5. Payments.

incurred costs shall exclude the cost of any warranty repair work performed by
SeaVision in connection with its warranty of the system under section 11 herein
and which costs shall be supported by SeaVision's delivery to Cunard of receipts
therefor. Cunard shall pay all amounts due under this clause (ii) monthly
concurrently with Cunard's payments under clause (i) herein.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, SeaVision understands and agrees
that all payments made under this Agreement are conditioned upon timely progress
and completion of the work in accordance with the Installation Schedule set
forth in Exhibit B. In addition the final payment scheduled to be made on
November 10, 1996 shall be conditioned upon prior completion of the installation
and ensuring that the system is fully operational and in good working order.
Should the contract work not be progressed or completed in a timely manner,
Cunard shall have the right to withhold payment for all incomplete contract work
always provided that Cunard shall submit to SeaVision within five (5) days after
payment is otherwise due, a written notification specifying the cause for
withholding payment. Should the parties fail to reach agreement on the manner in
