accrued and due under any applicable benefit plans and programs of NFM, which
amounts shall be paid within the time frames specified by Colorado state wage
law. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean any of the grounds for
termination of the Executive's employment listed below:

        (i)    The Executive's conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo
contendere to, (a) a felony (other than traffic violations), (b) a crime
involving moral turpitude, or (c) a criminal act which adversely affects the
business or reputation of NFM, its parent or its subsidiaries;

        (ii)   The Executive's engagement in willful misconduct or willful or
gross neglect in the performance of his duties hereunder, or commission of an
act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, dishonesty, breach of trust or

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        (v)   The Executive's persistent and continuing failure to perform the
Executive's reasonable duties hereunder.

        If there is an event or condition under Section 3(C)(iii), (iv) or
(v) above, the Executive shall have ten (10) days from the date NFM provides
notice to the Executive of the event or condition constituting Cause to cure
such event or condition (to the extent the event or condition is curable), and
if the Executive does so fully cure such event or condition, such event or
condition shall not constitute Cause hereunder.

        D.    WITHOUT CAUSE.    If the Executive's employment is terminated by
the Company without "Cause" (as defined in Section 3(C)), or if NFM materially
breaches this Agreement, this Section 3(D) shall apply.

        (i)    NFM may terminate the Executive's employment with NFM at any time
without Cause. Upon such termination without Cause, Executive shall be under no
obligation to render any additional services to NFM and shall be allowed to seek
other employment, subject to the Restrictive Covenants set forth herein.

        (ii)   Unless the Executive complies with the provisions of
Section 3D(iii) below, upon termination without Cause, Executive shall be
entitled to receive only any amounts earned, accrued and owing but not yet paid
under Section 2 above and any benefits accrued and due under any applicable
benefit plans and programs of NFM, which amounts shall be paid within the time
frames specified by Colorado state wage law. No other payments or benefits shall
be due under this Agreement to the Executive.

        (iii)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(D)(ii), upon
termination without Cause under Section 3(D)(i) above, if the Executive executes
and does not revoke a written release, in a form reasonably acceptable to NFM,
of any and all claims against NFM and all related parties with respect to all
matters arising out of the Executive's employment by NFM, or the termination
thereof (other than claims for any entitlements under the terms of this
Agreement or under any plans or programs of the Company under which the
Executive has accrued and is due a benefit and to all indemnification and
similar rights under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or
otherwise) (the "Release"), the Executive shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to all amounts earned, accrued and owing but not yet paid under
Section 2 above and any benefits accrued and due under any applicable benefit
plans and programs of NFM, the following:

        (a)   An amount equal to Executive's Base Salary (at the rate in effect
immediately before the Executive's termination or resignation, as applicable)
for the remaining duration of the Term or for eighteen (18) months, whichever is
longer, which will be payable in accordance with NFM's normal payroll practices
in regular bi-weekly installments; and

        (b)   The immediate vesting of all outstanding options awarded to
Executive prior to the date of such termination; and

        (c)   Payment of premiums on behalf of Executive to allow Executive to
receive COBRA coverage for health, dental and vision benefits then being
provided for Executive at the time Executive's employment is terminated, for the
remainder of the Term, which benefit shall be provided subject to the applicable
terms and conditions governing such COBRA coverage; provided, however that if
Executive commences employment with another employer and is eligible to receive
medical or other welfare benefits under another employer-provider plan, the
medical and other welfare benefits to be provided by NFM as described herein
shall terminate.

        (iv)  Application of Section 409A of Internal Revenue
Code.    Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3(D) to the contrary, to
the extent that: (a) the parties' agreement regarding the severance payments to
be made by NFM to Executive in accordance with this Agreement upon termination
of Executive without Cause is treated as a "nonqualified deferred compensation
plan" within the meaning

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"); (b) the
Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code; and (c) Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code
would apply to any severance payments to be made upon such termination, but for
the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code required to avoid the
tax consequences of Section 409A of the Code, the first such severance payment
under either scenario shall cover all payments scheduled to be made to Executive
during the first six (6) months after the applicable date of termination and
such first payment shall be delayed until the day after the six (6) month
anniversary of such date of termination. If the Executive dies during such
six-month period, the severance payments shall be paid to the personal
representative of the Executive's estate as soon as practicable, but not later
than 60 days, after the date of the Executive's death. If payment is delayed
pursuant to section 409A of the Code, the accumulated amounts withheld on
account of section 409A of the Code shall be paid on the first business day
after the end of the six-month period.

        E.    CHANGE IN CONTROL.    For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in
Control" of NFM shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day that any
one or more of the following conditions shall have occurred:

        (i)    Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act")), becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13-d under the Act) directly or
indirectly, of securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the
(a) total outstanding shares of common stock of NFM, or (b) the total combined
voting power represented by NFM's then outstanding voting securities other than
by virtue of a merger, consolidation, or similar transaction. However, if any
one person, or more than one person acting as a group, owns 50% or more of the
total fair market value or total voting power represented by NFM's then
outstanding voting securities, the increase in beneficial ownership by such
person or group or persons will not be considered a Change of Control.

        (ii)   A change in the composition of the Board of Directors of NFM
("Board"), as a result of which less than a majority of the directors are
Incumbent Directors. "Incumbent Directors" shall mean directors who either
(a) are directors of New Frontier as of the date hereof, or (b) are elected, or
nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a
majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination
(but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in
connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election
of directors of NFM).

        (iii)  NFM is a party to a merger, consolidation or consummates a
similar transaction with any other business entity after which at least 50% of
the total voting power of the resulting entity is not held by the shareholders
of NFM prior to the merger, or NFM adopts, and the stockholders approve, if
necessary, a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of NFM, a complete
dissolution or liquidation of NFM occurs or NFM sells or disposes of
substantially all of its assets to an unrelated party (as contemplated by
Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(3) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the
Code).

        F.    CHANGE OF CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT.    In the event of a Change in
Control, and in the event that NFM thereafter makes any of the following
changes, then Executive shall be entitled to voluntarily terminate his
employment with NFM:

        (i)    The assignment to Executive by NFM of duties not reasonably
consistent with Executive's positions, duties, responsibilities, titles or
offices at the commencement of the Term; or

        (ii)   The relocation of NFM's executive offices outside of the Boulder,
Colorado area; or

        (iii)  A material change in Executive's title, as it existed immediately
prior to the Change in Control.

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        In the event of any such voluntary termination permitted by this
Section 3(F), Executive shall be entitled to payment of all obligations set
forth in Section 3(D)(iii)(a), (b) and (c), plus a one-time bonus in an amount
equal to the average annual bonuses awarded to Executive during the immediately
preceding two full bonus years. For the avoidance of doubt, any lump-sum payment
owed to Executive pursuant to this paragraph shall not be reduced or eliminated
to the extent that Executive receives compensation from another employer or work
following such termination pursuant to this Section 4(F).

        G.    NON-COMPETE.    In the event that Executive voluntarily terminates
his employment as permitted by Section 4(F) hereinabove, Executive shall be free
to seek employment elsewhere without regard to whether any prospective employer
is a competitor of NFM.

        H.    RESIGNATION (OTHER THAN FOR A CHANGE IN CONTROL).    At any time
during the Term, the Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment for any
reason. In such event, after the effective date of such termination, no payments
shall be due under this Agreement, except that the Executive shall be entitled
to any amounts earned, accrued and owing but not yet paid under Section 2 above
and any benefits accrued and due under any applicable benefit plans and programs
of the Company, which amounts shall be paid within the time frames specified by
Colorado state wage law.

        I.    NOTICE OF TERMINATION.    Any termination (whether based on
disability, with Cause or without Cause) shall be communicated by a written
Notice of Termination to the other party, and may be sent via first class mail,
facsimile transmission, email or personal delivery.

        J.    DATE OF TERMINATION.    "Date of Termination" shall mean: (i) the
date of transmission of the Notice of Termination by facsimile, email or
personal delivery, or (ii) three calendar days after the date of mailing by
first class mail, or (iii) date of death or disability (if applicable).

        4.    RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS    

        For good and valuable consideration, including but not limited to the
increase in Base Salary effectuated by this Agreement, and the continued
employment of Executive by NFM, Executive agrees to be bound to the following
restrictive covenants:

        A.    COVENANT AGAINST COMPETITION.    Executive agrees that he holds an
executive level position with NFM, and Executive further agrees that by virtue
of his position he has had access and will continue to have access to NFM's
Confidential Information and Trade Secrets (as those terms are defined below),
and Executive further agrees that NFM has a legitimate business interest in
preventing Executive from putting to a competitive use the information and
relationships which pertain to NFM that Executive acquired in the course of his
employment, and in protecting its customer base. Accordingly, Executive agrees
to the following:

        (i)    The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the principal business
of NFM is the sale, promotion and electronic distribution of adult themed
programming and events, whether such adult themed programming and events are
sold, promoted, or electronically distributed by means now known or hereafter
discovered including but not limited to the Internet, satellite systems, cable
systems, hotels, IPTV, mobile and/or stand alone systems (the "Business").

        (ii)   In addition, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that: NFM is
one of the limited number of companies who have developed the Business; the
Executive's work for NFM has given and will continue to give him access to the
Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of the Company; the value of all
goodwill resulting from the operation of the Business of NFM and its
subsidiaries and other affiliates should properly belong to NFM; the covenants
and agreements of the Executive in this Section are necessary to preserve the
value of such goodwill for the benefit of NFM; the proprietary technologies
developed by NFM and its predecessors offer NFM a distinct competitive
advantage, and

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NFM would not have entered into this Agreement but for the covenants and
agreements set forth in this Section. Accordingly, the Executive covenants and
agrees that:

        (a)   By and in consideration of the salary and benefits to be provided
by NFM hereunder, including the severance arrangements set forth herein, and in
consideration of the Executive's executive position and exposure to the
Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of NFM, the Executive covenants and
agrees that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending one
(1) year following the date upon which the Executive shall cease to be paid any
compensation by NFM (the "Restricted Period"), he shall not anywhere in the
Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly: engage in any element of the
Business or otherwise compete with NFM; render any services to any person,
corporation, partnership or other entity (other than NFM or its affiliates)
primarily engaged in any element of the Business; or become interested in any
such person, corporation, partnership or other entity (other than NFM or its
affiliates) as a partner, shareholder, principal, agent, employee, consultant or
in any other relationship or capacity; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Executive may invest in securities of any entity, solely for
investment purposes and without participating in the business thereof, if
(A) such securities are traded on any national securities exchange or the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System,
(B) the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which
controls, such entity and (C) the Executive does not, directly or indirectly,
own 5% or more of any class of securities of such entity.

        For purposes of this Agreement, "Restricted Territory" means any state,
county, or locality in the United States in which NFM conducts Business and any
other country, city, state, jurisdiction, or territory in which NFM does
Business while the Executive is an employee of NFM Media or any of its
subsidiaries.

        For purposes of this Agreement, "Trade Secret" means all non-public
information whether tangible or intangible related to the products, services or
business of NFM that (A) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not
being generally known to or readily ascertainable by other persons who can
obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; or (B) is the subject of
efforts by NFM that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its
secrecy, which might include: (i) marking any information reduced to tangible
form clearly and conspicuously with a legend identifying its confidential or
trade secret nature; (ii) identifying any oral communication as confidential or
secret immediately before, during, or after such oral communication; or
(iii) otherwise treating such information as confidential or secret. Assuming
the criteria in clauses (A) or (B) of this paragraph are met, Trade Secrets
includes information, without regard to form, including, but not limited to,
technical and nontechnical data, formulas, patterns, designs, compilations,
computer programs and software, devices, inventions, methods, techniques,
drawings, processes, financial data, financial plans, product plans, lists of
actual or potential customers and suppliers which are not commonly known by or
available to the public, research, development, and existing and future
products.

        (b)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4A(ii)(a)
above, in the event of: (i) a material default by NFM of the performance of any
of its material obligations hereunder, which default is not cured within ten
(10) days after notice thereof, such Restricted Period shall terminate; or
(ii) a termination of Executive without Cause, such Restricted Period shall
terminate on the date of NFM' last payment of severance benefits to Executive,
as provided above.

        B.    NON-SOLICITATION.    During the Restricted Period, Executive shall
not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage to leave the employment or
other service of NFM any employee or independent contractor thereof; or
(ii) hire (on behalf of Executive or any other person or entity) any employee or
independent contractor who has left the employment or other service of NFM
within the one-year period which follows the termination of such employer's or
independent contractor's employment or other service with NFM. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, the term

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"independent contractor" shall refer to independent contractors of NFM whose
services relate directly to the conduct of the Business. During the Restricted
Period, the Executive will not, whether for his own account or for the account
of any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization,
intentionally interfere with NFM' relationship with, or endeavor to entice away
from NFM any person who during the Term is or was a customer, client, supplier,
licensee or other business relation of NFM.

        C.    CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS    

        (i)    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.    As used in this Agreement,
"Confidential Information" includes, without limitation, design information,
manufacturing information, business, financial, and technical information, sales
and processing information, product information, customer lists, vendor
information, vendor lists, pricing information, corporation and personal
business opportunities, software, computer disks or files, or any other
electronic information of any kind, Rolodex cards or other lists of names,
addresses or telephone numbers, financial information, current projects,
projects in development and future projects, forecasts, plans, contracts,
releases, and other documents, materials, writings or information, including
those which are prepared, developed or created by Executive, or which come into
the possession of Executive by any means or manner, and which relate directly or
indirectly to NFM (all of the above collectively referred to as "Confidential
Information"). Confidential Information includes information developed by
Executive in the course of Executive's services for NFM, as well as other
Confidential Information to which Executive may have access in connection with
Executive's services. Confidential Information also includes the confidential
information of other individuals or entities with which NFM has a business
relationship. Confidential Information shall not include any information
(a) which is in the public domain or which enters the public domain through no
act of omission of Executive or (b) which was in the possession of Executive
prior to the commencement of his employment with NFM.

        (ii)    DUTY OF CONFIDENTIALITY.    At all times during his employment
and thereafter, Executive will maintain in strictest confidence and will not,
directly or indirectly, disclose or use (or allow others working with or related
to Executive to disclose or use) any Confidential Information belonging to NFM,
whether in oral, written, electronic or permanent form, except solely to the
extent necessary to perform services on behalf of NFM. Upon termination of this
Agreement, or at the request of NFM prior to its termination, Executive shall
deliver forthwith to NFM all Confidential Information (and all copies thereof)
in Executive's possession or control belonging to NFM and all tangible items
embodying or containing Confidential Information.

        (iii)    DOCUMENTS, RECORDS, ETC.    All documents, records, data,
equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential
Information, which are furnished to Executive by NFM or are produced by
Executive in connection with Executive's services will be and remain the sole
property of NFM. Executive will return to NFM forthwith all such materials and
property upon the termination of this Agreement or sooner if requested by NFM.

        D.    ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS.    Executive shall make full and prompt
disclosure to NFM of any and all designs, intellectual property, software,
inventions, discoveries, or improvements (individually and collectively,
"Inventions") made by Executive as a result or product of his employment
relationship with NFM. Executive hereby assigns to NFM without additional
compensation the entire worldwide right, title and interest in and to such
Inventions, and related intellectual property rights and without limitation all
copyrights, copyright renewals or reversions, trademarks, trade names, trade
dress rights, industrial design, industrial model, inventions, priority rights,
patent rights, patent applications, patents, design patents and any other rights
or protections in connection therewith or related thereto, for exploitation in
any form or medium, of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether now known or
hereafter devised. To the extent that any work created by Executive can be a
work for hire pursuant to U.S. Copyright Law, the parties deem such work a work
for hire and Executive should be considered the author thereof. Executive shall,
at the request of NFM, without additional

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

compensation from time to time execute, acknowledge and deliver to NFM such
instruments and documents as NFM may require to perfect, transfer and vest in
NFM the entire right, title and interest in and to such inventions. In the event
that Executive does not timely perform such obligations, Executive hereby makes
NFM and its officers his attorney in fact and gives them the power of attorney
to perform such obligations and to execute such documents on Executive's behalf.
Executive shall cooperate with NFM upon NFM's request and at NFM's cost but
without additional compensation in the preparation and prosecution of patent,
trademark, industrial design and model, and copyright applications worldwide for
protection of rights to any Inventions.

        E.    LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES.    Because the Executive's services
are personal and unique and the Executive has had and will continue to have
access to and has become and will continue to become acquainted with the
Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of NFM, and because any breach by the
Executive of any of the confidentiality covenants and restrictive covenants
contained in Section 4 would result in irreparable injury and damage for which
money damages would not provide an adequate remedy, NFM shall have the right to
enforce the restrictions set forth in Section 4 by injunction, specific
performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any
other rights and remedies that NFM may have for a breach, or threatened breach,
of the obligations described in Section 4. The Executive agrees that in any
action in which NFM seeks injunction, specific performance or other equitable
relief, the Executive will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of
Section 4 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable.

        F.    SCOPE/BLUE PENCIL PROVISIONS.    Executive agrees that the
duration, scope and geographic area of the restrictions stated in this Section
are reasonable and necessary given the nature of NFM's Business. However, in the
event that a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall hold that the
duration, scope, geographic area or other restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable and unenforceable under circumstances then existing, the parties
agree that the maximum duration, scope, area or other restrictions reasonable
under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope,
area or other restrictions.

        G.    INDEPENDENT AGREEMENT.    The covenants made in this Section 5
shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provisions of this
Agreement, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Moreover, the
existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against NFM, whether or
not predicated upon the terms of this Agreement, shall not constitute a defense
to the enforcement of these covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this paragraph, Executive shall be released from his obligations under
Section 4(A) of this Agreement [Covenant Against Competition] if NFM is in
material breach of its obligations set forth in Section 2(B) of this Agreement
[Compensation], provided such material breach remains uncured for more than
thirty (30) days after written notice of said breach from Executive to NFM.

        5.    ARBITRATION.    To the maximum extent permitted by law, all
disputes, controversies, claims, or demands of any kind or nature arising
between the parties in connection with this Agreement, whether at law or in
equity or based upon common law or any federal or state statute, rule, or
regulation, that cannot be resolved between the parties through NFM's internal
complaint resolution procedures, shall be submitted to binding arbitration by
the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that this arbitration
requirement shall not apply to any action by NFM to obtain injunctive relief
pursuant to Section 4 hereof to prevent any violation by Employee of the terms
of this Agreement, which injunctive action may be brought in any court of
competent jurisdiction.

        Any arbitration commenced hereunder shall be initiated in Boulder,
Colorado and shall be governed by the AAA National Rules for the Resolution of
Employment Disputes. The arbitration shall occur before a single arbitrator that
shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto. If the parties cannot agree
on a single arbitrator, then an arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with
the rules of AAA. The arbitration must be filed within six months of the act or
omission which gives rise to the

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

claim. Each party shall be entitled to take any discovery as is permitted by the
applicable rules and the arbitrator. In determining the extent of discovery, the
arbitrator shall exercise discretion, but shall consider the expense of the
desired discovery and the importance of the discovery to a just adjudication.

        The findings, conclusions, and award rendered in any arbitration shall
be binding upon the parties and shall finally determine all questions of fact
relating to the dispute. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in
the appropriate court, state or federal, having jurisdiction, and each party
expressly waives any right to appeal any such judgment rendered by the court.
Any party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for entry of judgment
on the arbitration award.

arbitration provisions of this Agreement are specifically enforceable by each

        F.    Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement or application
thereof to anyone or under any circumstances is adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which can be given
effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application and shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or application in any
other jurisdiction. If any provision is held void, invalid or unenforceable with
respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force
and effect in all other circumstances.

party by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and

other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity. The failure of either party to insist upon strict compliance with any
provision of this Agreement, or the failure to assert any right either party may
have hereunder, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or
any other provision or right of this Agreement.
