              of Shares of Gemstar International Group Limited
              ------------------------------------------------------------------

          The undersigned understands that TV Guide, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("TV Guide"), and Gemstar International Group Limited, a British
Virgin Islands corporation ("Gemstar"), of which the undersigned is a
stockholder, are prepared to enter into an agreement for the merger (the
"Merger") of G Acquisition Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation, into TV
Guide, but that TV Guide has conditioned its willingness to proceed with such
agreement (the "Merger Agreement") upon its receipt from the undersigned of
assurances satisfactory to TV Guide of the undersigned's support of and
commitment to the Merger.  In order to evidence such commitment and to induce TV
Guide to enter into the Merger Agreement, the undersigned hereby represents and
warrants to TV Guide and agrees with TV Guide as follows:

          1.   Voting.  The undersigned will vote or cause to be voted all
               ------

favor of the Merger and the issuance of the Parent Common Stock in connection
with the Merger and other transactions provided for in or contemplated by the
Merger Agreement (including the domestication of Gemstar from the British Virgin
Islands to the State of Delaware), and against any inconsistent proposals or
transactions.

          2.   Ownership.  As of the date hereof, Schedule 1 hereto sets forth

          3.   Restriction on Transfer.  During the period from the date of the
               -----------------------

Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Effective Time, the undersigned
will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares or any
interest therein or agree to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any
of the Shares or any interest therein, without your express written consent;
provided, however, that the undersigned may sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise
dispose of, in the aggregate, up to 5% of the Shares pursuant to Permitted
Transfers and/or Fast Track Sales (as such terms are defined in the Stockholders
Agreement attached as an Exhibit to the Merger Agreement); provided, further,
that the undersigned may pledge the Shares to secure bona fide indebtedness or
bona fide monetization transactions or to secure the obligations of a person in
connection with derivative transactions and settlement obligations thereunder
(including, without limitation, puts, calls, collars, swaps, etc.) with respect
to the Shares, provided that the terms of such derivative transaction permit
cash settlement of a party's obligations thereunder and do not
<PAGE>

restrict the undersigned's obligations to vote the pledged Shares in accordance
with Section 1 hereof.

          4.   Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of Proxy.
               ------------------------------------------------

Guide, any individual who hereafter shall succeed to any such office of TV
Guide, and each of them individually, the undersigned's proxy and attorney-in-
fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the undersigned's name, place
and stead, to vote the Shares, or grant a consent or approval in respect of such
Shares, in accordance with the undersigned's covenants in Section 1 hereof.

               (b)  The undersigned represents that any proxies heretofore given
in respect of the Shares are not irrevocable, and that all such proxies are
hereby revoked.

               (c)  The undersigned hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy
set forth in this Section 4 is given in connection with the execution of the
Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the
performance of the undersigned's duties under this letter agreement. The
undersigned hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an
interest and may under no circumstances be revoked. The undersigned hereby
ratifies and confirms all that such irrevocable proxy may lawfully do or cause
to be done by virtue hereof.

          5.   Termination.  This letter agreement and the undersigned's

agreement other than to a wholly owned subsidiary.

          7.   Nature of Holdings; Shares.  All references herein to the
               --------------------------
undersigned's holdings of the Shares shall be deemed to include Shares held or

otherwise), or in any other capacity, and shall extend to any securities issued
to the undersigned in respect of the Shares.

               -------------
meaning ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement, unless otherwise defined
herein.

inadequacy of damages as a remedy, the parties shall be entitled to specific

equity.
