or accept a renewal of this Note,  join in any  extension or  subordination,  or
exercise any right or election  hereunder.  No one or more of such actions shall
constitute  a novation or operate to release any party  liable for or under this
Note, either as Maker or otherwise.

         5. Events of Default.  Each of the following shall constitute an "Event
of Default" hereunder:


<PAGE>


                  (a) Maker's failure to make any required  payment of principal
and/or  interest under this Note, or any other amount due and payable under this
Note, which failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice
of such failure is sent by Holder to Maker;

                  (b) The  occurrence  of an event of default under that certain
Security  Agreement by and between  Maker and Holder dated as of March 21, 1997,
as amended (the "Security Agreement");

                  (c)  The   occurrence   of  an  event  of  default  under  any
outstanding  promissory  notes  by  Maker  payable  to  Concept  Communications,
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Concept");

                  (d)  The   occurrence   of  an  event  of  default  under  any
outstanding promissory notes by Maker payable to Holder;

                  (e) The  occurrence  of an event of default under that certain
Security Agreement by and between Maker and Concept dated as of January 4, 1996;

                  (f)  Maker's  failure to perform any other  obligation  (other
than one that can be satisfied  with the payment of money)  required  under this
Note, and the  continuation  of such failure for a period of ten (10) days after
Holder gives Maker written notice of such failure to perform; and

                  (g) Maker's insolvency,  general assignment for the benefit of
creditors,  or the commencement by or against Maker of any case, proceeding,  or
other  action  seeking  reorganization,  arrangement,  adjustment,  liquidation,
dissolution,  or  composition  of  Maker's  debts  under  any  law  relating  to
bankruptcy,  insolvency,  or  reorganization,  or relief of debtors,  or seeking
appointment of a receiver,  trustee,  custodian,  or other similar  official for
Maker or for all or any substantial part of Maker's assets.

         6.  Acceleration.  Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  Holder
shall have the right to cause the entire unpaid principal balance, together with
all accrued interest thereon,  reasonable attorneys' and paralegal' fees and all
fees,  charges,  costs and expenses,  if any, owed by Maker to Holder, to become
immediately due and payable in full by giving written notice to Maker.

         7.  Remedies.  Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  Holder may
avail itself of any legal or equitable rights which Holder may have at law or in
equity  or  under  this  Note,  including,  but not  limited  to,  the  right to
accelerate  the  indebtedness  due under this Note as described in the preceding
sentence.  The  remedies of Holder as  provided  herein  shall be  distinct  and
cumulative,  and may be pursued singly,  successively  or together,  at the sole
discretion of Holder,  and may be exercised as often as occasion  therefor shall
arise.  Failure to exercise any of the foregoing  options upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default  shall not  constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the
same or any other  option at any  subsequent  time in respect to the same or any
other Event of Default, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy
shall  preclude  other or  further  exercise  of the same or any other  right or
remedy.  Holder  shall  have no duty to  exercise  any or all of the  rights and
remedies  herein  provided  or  contemplated.  The  acceptance  by Holder of any
payment  hereunder  that is less than  payment  in full of all  amounts  due and
payable at the time of such payment  shall not  constitute a waiver of the right
to exercise any of the foregoing rights or remedies at that time, or nullify any
prior  exercise  of any such rights or  remedies  without  the  express  written
consent of Holder.


<PAGE>


         8. Expenses of Collection.  If this Note is referred to an attorney for
collection,  whether  or not any other  action has been  instituted  or taken to
enforce or collect under this Note, Maker shall pay all of Holder's costs,  fees
(including  reasonable  in-house and outside attorneys' and paralegal' fees) and
expenses in connection with such referral.

         9.  Governing  Law. The  provisions  of this Note shall be governed and
construed  according  to the law of the  District of  Columbia,  without  giving
effect to its conflicts of law provisions.

         10.  Security.  Payment of the  indebtedness  evidenced by this Note is
secured by certain  assets of Maker  pledged to Holder  pursuant to the Security
Agreement.

         11. No Waiver.  Neither any course of dealing by Holder nor any failure
or delay on its part to exercise any right,  power or privilege  hereunder shall
operate  as a waiver of any right or remedy  of  Holder  hereunder  unless  said
waiver  is in  writing  and  signed  by  Holder,  and  then  only to the  extent
specifically  set forth in said  writing.  A waiver as to one event shall not be
construed as a continuing waiver by Holder or as a bar to or waiver of any right
or remedy by Holder as to any subsequent event.

         12.      Notices.

                  (a) All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall either
be hand delivered,  with receipt therefor, or sent by Federal Express or similar

question shall,  without further  agreement or notice by any party to this Note,
be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note immediately upon receipt
of such  monies by Holder,  with the same  force and effect as though  Maker had

balance and Holder had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a prepayment.

         15. Captions. The captions herein are for convenience of reference only
and in no way  define or limit the scope or  content  of this Note or in any way
affect its provisions.

the sole  intention  of the parties to  establish a  relationship  of debtor and
creditor.

essence in the performance of the obligations set forth in this Note.


     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  Maker has executed this Promissory Note under seal on
this 10th day of September 1999.

September 28, 1999


Mr. Nicholas J. Chiaia
General Counsel
Crown Communications , Inc.
650 Massachusetts Ave., NW
Suite 200
Washington, DC 20001

Dear Nick:

         We are  pleased to set forth the terms of the  engagement  of Daniels &
Associates,  L.P. ("Daniels") by Crown  Communications,  Inc. (together with its
affiliates  the  "Client")  to consult  with the Client  regarding  a  potential
transaction  with GoodLife TV Network  ("GoodLife")  in which Client proposes to
acquire 100% of the publicly held common stock of GoodLife (the "Transaction).

1.   ENGAGEMENT AND SERVICES OF DANIELS.  The Client hereby  engages  Daniels to
     assist and advise the Client in connection with the  Transaction.  Daniels'
     services will include,  but will not necessarily be limited to:  conferring
     and negotiating  with one or more investment  bankers  retained by GoodLife
     (or a committee of GoodLife's  Board) as to the value,  or range of values,
     and the terms of the  Transaction;  advising  the Client as to  acquisition
     strategies;  and otherwise  assisting and advising the Client regarding any
     negotiations with such committee or with GoodLife's officers, directors, or
     advisors   and,  if  requested  by  the  Client,   participating   in  such
     negotiations.

2.   COMPENSATION;  REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES.  For its services hereunder,  the
     Client shall pay to Daniels an amount equal to $125,000 half of which shall
     be paid upon the  execution of this  Agreement,  and the remainder of which
     shall be paid when Daniels fulfills its advisory obligations hereunder.  In
     addition to the  foregoing  compensation,  the Client agrees to pay Daniels
     $2,500 per day,  without any  proration,  for each  employee of Daniels who
     agree to testify in  proceedings  (including  depositions)  relating to the
     above-referenced transaction or any related matters.


<PAGE>

Mr. Nicholas Chiaia
September 28, 1999

The Client also agrees to reimburse  Daniels  promptly upon request from time to
time for all reasonable  out-of-pocket expenses (including,  without limitation,
fees and  expenses  of any  outside  legal  counsel)  incurred  by  Daniels,  as
supported by appropriate receipts and/or  documentation,  in connection with the
services to be rendered by Daniels and its employees pursuant to this Agreement,
subject to the Client's pre-approval of any travel-related or legal expenses.

3. TERMINATION.  The Client may terminate his Agreement at any time upon written
notice to Daniels,  except that such  termination  shall not affect the Client's
obligations hereunder with respect to: (i) any compensation earned by Daniels up
to the date of  termination  or completion of the engagement as the case may be,
(ii) the  reimbursement  of Daniels'  expenses up to the date of  termination or
completion of the engagement,  as the case may be, or (iii) the indemnification,
arbitration and governing law provisions of this Agreement.

4.  AVAILABILITY  AND  ACCURACY OF  INFORMATION.  In  connection  with  Daniels'
activities on the Client's behalf,  the Client agrees to cooperate with Daniels,
to furnish or cause to be  furnished  to Daniels  such  information  and data as
Daniels may reasonably request regarding the Client,  GoodLife, and any proposed
Transaction (the  "Information"),  and to provide Daniels with reasonable access
to GoodLife's partners, officers,  employees,  representatives and advisors. The
Client represents and warrants that to the best of its knowledge all Information
made  available  to Daniels  by the  Client,  at all times  during the period of
engagement of Daniels  hereunder,  will be complete and accurate in all material
respects and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material  fact  necessary  in order to make the  statements  therein not
misleading in light of the  circumstances  under which such statements are made.
The Client further  represents and warrants that any projections  provided by it
to  Daniels  will  have  been  prepared  in good  faith  and will be based  upon
assumptions which, in light of the circumstances  under which they are made, are
reasonable.

The Client  acknowledges  and agrees that  Daniels,  in  rendering  its services
hereunder,  will be  using  and  relying  on the  Information  (and  information
available  from public  sources and other  sources  deemed  reliable by Daniels)
without independent  verification by Daniels thereof or independent appraisal by
Daniels of the GoodLife's  assets,  operations or financial  condition.  Daniels
does not assume any  responsibility  for the  completeness  or  accuracy  of the
Information  or any other  information  relating  to  GoodLife  or any  proposed
Transaction.

The Client agrees to indemnify  and hold harmless  Daniels and its employees and
affiliates,  against  any and  all  losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  and
expenses of defense of any claim or action, directly or indirectly,  relating to
or arising out of or in connection  with (a) the Client's  engagement of Daniels
hereunder, or (b) the Information;  provided,  however, such indemnity

<PAGE>

Mr. Nicholas Chiaia
September 28, 1999

shall not apply to any portion of any such losses, claims, damages,  liabilities
and  expenses to the  extent,  and only to such  extent,  it is found in a final
judgment by a court of competent  jurisdiction  to have resulted  primarily from
the gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct  of Daniels or of any employees or
affiliates of Daniels.

5. ARBITRATION.  Any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to
this  Agreement,  or the breach  thereof,  shall be resolved by  arbitration  in
accordance  with the applicable  Rules of the American  Arbitration  Association
(U.S.  disputes) or UNCITRAL  (international  disputes),  and judgment  upon the
award rendered in the arbitration  proceeding may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction  thereof.  The arbitration  shall be held in Washington,  DC, or at
another  location  if it can be selected by mutual  agreement.  The  arbitration
award may grant a reimbursement  to the prevailing  party of all of its fees and
expenses,  including  reasonable  attorneys' fees.  Without waiving any right to
arbitration  under this  Agreement,  either  party may apply to any court having
jurisdiction  hereof and seek injunctive relief so as to maintain the status quo
until such time as the  arbitration  award is  rendered  or the  controversy  is
resolved.  Neither  party nor the  arbitrator(s)  may  disclose  the  existence,
content,  or results of any arbitration  proceeding  hereunder without the prior
written consent of both parties.

6.  PUBLICITY.  Daniels and the Client each will consult with and cooperate with
the other with  respect to the content  and the timing of all press  releases or
any other public announcements concerning this Agreement.

7. MISCELLANEOUS. Each individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the Client
represents or warrants that he/she has the authority to execute this  Agreement,
that all parties whose approval is necessary to make this  Agreement  binding in
accordance  with its terms have consented  hereto,  and that all necessary legal
actions have been or will be taken.  The Client  represents and warrants that it
will comply with all applicable securities and other laws, rules and regulations
relating  hereto and that it will not circumvent or frustrate the intent of this
Agreement.  Subject to any legal  requirements  imposed  on  Daniels  compelling
disclosure,  Daniels  will  endeavor  to  maintain  the  confidentiality  of all
proprietary and confidential information regarding the Client.

This  Agreement  represents the entire  understanding  of the parties hereto and
supersedes  all other and prior  agreements  among  the  parties  regarding  the
subject  matter;  shall be binding  upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
and their  respective  heirs,  representatives,  successors and assigns;  may be
executed by facsimile  (followed by originals sent via regular mail), and in two
or more counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed to be an original,  but all
of which together shall constitute one and the same  instrument;  and may not be
modified or


<PAGE>

Mr. Nicholas Chiaia

amended except by written agreement. If multiple parties execute this Agreement,
they agree to be jointly and severally  bound. No failure or delay in exercising
any right,  power or privilege related hereto, or any single or partial exercise
thereof, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

If this letter  reflects the Client's  understanding  of our  agreement,  please
execute each of the enclosed copies of this Agreement and return one copy to me.

Sincerely,
