                           (4)      The Corporation shall determine Pre-Tax Net
                                    Income within ninety (90) days of each June
                                    30th and December 31st and a copy of such
                                    determination shall be submitted to the
                                    Employee within such time period. If within
                                    twenty (20) days of receipt of such copy,
                                    Employee shall disagree as to the
                                    calculation, then the Employee shall provide
                                    prompt notice thereof to the Corporation
                                    within such twenty (20) day period and the
                                    Corporation and the Employee shall seek to
                                    resolve such disagreement within ten (10)
                                    days of such notice. If the Corporation and
                                    the Employee cannot resolve such
                                    disagreement within such ten (10) day
                                    period, then Ernst & Young or its successor
                                    or assign (the "Selected Firm") shall then
                                    be authorized to determine the Pre-Tax Net
                                    Income. The determination by the Selected
                                    Firm shall be completed within sixty (60)
                                    days after their appointment and shall be
                                    final, binding and conclusive upon the
                                    parties hereto. The cost of the Selected
                                    Firm's determination of the Pre-Tax Net
                                    Income shall be borne by each of the
                                    Employee and the Corporation on an equal
                                    basis. Until such time as the Selected Firm
                                    has made a final determination of the Pre
                                    Tax Net Income, the Corporation shall be
                                    entitled to adjust the Employee's
                                    semi-monthly Salary payments pursuant to
                                    Section 4.1(a) based on its original
                                    determination of Pre-Tax Net Income;
                                    provided, however, that the Corporation
                                    shall deposit the disputed amount of Salary
                                    in a segregated interest bearing account
                                    pending the Selected Firm's determination of
                                    Pre-Tax Net Income.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to the
initial semi-annual period ending June 30, 2002, the Corporation shall use its
reasonable efforts to deliver its determination of Pre-Tax Net Income to the
Employee and resolve any disagreements as to Pre-Tax Net Income with the
Employee, within sixty (60) days of June 30, 2002. In the event any such
disagreements are not resolved within such time period, then the dispute
resolution method set forth in this paragraph 4.1(d) shall apply. In the event
any such disagreements are fully resolved within such sixty-day time period,
then, subject to the requirement that certain amounts be placed in a segregated
account pursuant to Section 4.1(c) above, any underpayment shall be paid to the
Employee in a single payment, which will be paid in the next available payroll
period.

                           (5)      Within ninety (90) days of the end of the
                                    Employment Term (whether as a result of the
                                    expiration of the stated term of employment
                                    or upon earlier termination pursuant to
                                    Section 5 hereof), the Corporation shall
                                    determine whether the Corporation overpaid
                                    or underpaid the Employee during the
                                    Employment Term, based on the amounts
                                    actually paid to the Employee pursuant to
                                    Section 4.1(c) as compared to the amounts
                                    actually due to the Employee pursuant to
                                    Section 4.1(a). A copy of such determination
                                    shall be submitted to the Employee during
                                    such ninety (90) day period. If within
                                    thirty (30) days of receipt of such
                                    determination, Employee shall disagree as to
                                    the calculation, then the Employee shall
                                    provide prompt notice thereof to the
                                    Corporation within such thirty (30) day
                                    period and the Corporation and the Employee
                                    shall seek to resolve such disagreement
                                    within twenty (20) days. If the Corporation
                                    and the Employee cannot resolve such
                                    disagreement within such twenty (20) day
                                    period, then Ernst & Young or successor (the
                                    "Selected Firm") shall then be authorized to
                                    determine the amount of any overpayments or
                                    underpayments. The determination by the
                                    Selected Firm shall be completed within
                                    sixty (60) days after their appointment and
                                    shall be final, binding and conclusive upon
                                    the parties hereto. The cost of the Selected
                                    Firm's determination shall be borne by each
                                    of the Employee and the Corporation on an
                                    equal basis.

                                             Corporation and the Employee as to
                                             the amount overpaid or underpaid,
                                             or upon expiration of the thirty
                                             (30) day period without notice of
                                             disagreement from the Employee, the
                                             Corporation shall send a notice to
                                             the Employee of the amount

                                             underpaid (the "Final
                                             Determination"). To the extent

                                             determined to have been made by the
                                             Corporation to the Employee, the
                                             Corporation shall distribute to the
                                             Employee all funds then held in the
                                             segregated account. To the extent
                                             of any overpayments made by the
                                             Corporation to the Employee, the
                                             Corporation shall be authorized to
                                             remove from the segregated account
                                             the amount of any such
                                             overpayments, plus interest accrued
                                             thereon, and shall distribute the
                                             balance of funds then held in the
                                             segregated account, if any, plus

                                    (2)      To the extent that it has been
                                             determined that the Corporation
                                             overpaid the Employee an amount in
                                             excess of the amounts then held in
                                             the segregated account, the
                                             Employee shall pay such excess
                                             amount in one lump sum to the
                                             Corporation within 15 days of the

                                             that it has been determined that
                                             the Corporation underpaid the
                                             Employee, then in addition to the

                                             interest, then held in the
                                             segregated account to the Employee,
                                             the Corporation shall pay the
                                             amount of such underpayment to the
                                             Employee in one lump sum within 15
                                             days of the Final Determination,
                                             subject to such deductions as shall
                                             be required to be withheld by
                                             applicable law and regulations. The
                                             provisions of this Section 4.1(e)
                                             shall survive the Employee's

                           under such Plan are subject to the absolute
                           discretion of the Board of Directors and the
                           Compensation Committee thereof.

                           future years such Plan Bonus shall be equal to the
                           Plan Bonus, if any, paid to the Employee for the
                           calendar year immediately preceding the year in which

                           payment of the above amount shall be made as soon as
                           practicable after the Change in Control Termination,
                           but in no event more than thirty (30) days after such

                           such other businesses as the Corporation may conduct
                           from time to time (the "Business"). Employee
                           acknowledges that he has knowledge of the Business
                           and has been and will be acquiring confidential

                           confidence. In consideration of the obligations
                           undertaken by the Corporation herein, Employee will

                           executive officer of the Corporation (except as
                           reasonably necessary in the discharge of Employee's
                           duties hereunder) and shall be delivered to the
                           Corporation upon the earlier of (i) a request by the
                           Corporation or (ii) the termination of Employee's
                           employment with the Corporation. After such delivery,
                           Employee shall

                           discoveries, methods, developments, computer software
                           (and programs and code) and works of authorship,
                           whether not patentable or copyrightable, which were
                           or are created, made, conceived or reduced to
                           practice by Employee or under Employee's direction or
                           jointly with others during Employee's employment by
                           the Corporation or during Employee's provision of
                           services as an independent contractor to the
                           Corporation, whether or not during normal working
                           hours or on the premises of the Corporation (all of
                           which are collectively referred to in this Agreement
                           as "Developments").

                  (3)      Employee also agrees to assign and, by executing this
                           Agreement, Employee does hereby assign, to the
                           Corporation (or to any person or entity designated by
                           the Corporation) all of the Employee's rights, titles
                           and interests, if any, in and to all Developments and
                           all related patents, patent applications, copyrights
                           and copyright applications. However, this Section
                           9(c) shall not apply to Developments which (i) do not
                           relate to the present or planned business or research
                           and development of the Corporation and (ii) are made
                           and conceived by the Employee: (A) at a time other
                           than during normal working hours, (B) not on the
                           Corporation's premises and (C) not using the
                           Corporation's tools, devices, equipment or
                           proprietary information. Employee understands that to
                           the extent that the terms of this Agreement shall be
                           construed in accordance with the laws of any state
                           which precludes a requirement in an employee's
                           agreement to assign certain classes of inventions
                           made by an employee, this Section 9(c) shall be
                           interpreted not to apply to any invention which a
                           court rules and/or the Corporation agrees falls
                           within such class or classes. Employee also agrees to
                           waive all claims to moral and/or equitable rights in
                           any Developments.

                  (4)      Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the
                           Corporation, both during and after Employee's
                           employment with the Corporation, with respect to the
                           procurement, maintenance and enforcement of
                           copyrights, patents and other intellectual property
                           rights (both in the United States and foreign
                           countries) relating to Developments. Employee agrees
                           that he will sign all papers, including, without
                           limitation, copyright applications, patent
                           applications, declarations, oaths, formal
                           assignments, assignments of priority rights, and
                           powers of attorney, which the Corporation may deem
                           necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights
                           and interests in any Development. Employee further
                           agrees that if the Corporation is unable, after
                           reasonable effort, to secure Employee's signature on
                           any such papers, any executive officer of the
                           Corporation shall be entitled to execute any such
                           papers as Employee's agent and attorney-in-fact, and
                           Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
                           each executive officer of the Corporation as
                           Employee's agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any
                           such papers on Employee's behalf, and to take any and
                           all actions as the Corporation may deem necessary or
                           desirable, in order to protect its rights and
                           interests in any Development, under the conditions
                           described in this sentence.

                  (5)      The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive
                           Employee's employment

                           hereunder for a period of five (5) years commencing
                           on the date this Agreement is terminated.

         (10)     Covenant Not To Compete.
                  (1)      Terms of Non-Compete.

                           (1)      In consideration of the payments to be made
                                    to Employee hereunder, particularly Section
                                    4.1(a), Employee recognizes that the
                                    services to be performed by him hereunder
                                    are special, unique and extraordinary. The
                                    parties confirm that it is reasonably
                                    necessary for the protection of the
                                    Corporation that Employee agrees, and,
                                    accordingly, Employee does hereby agree,
                                    that he will not, directly or indirectly, in

                                             with, or substantially similar to,
                                             the Business of the Corporation and

                           (2)      If any of the restrictions contained in this
                                    Section 10 shall be deemed to be
                                    unenforceable by reason of the extent,
                                    duration or geographical scope thereof, or
                                    otherwise, then after such restrictions have
                                    been reduced so as to be enforceable, in its
                                    reduced form this Section shall then be
                                    enforceable in the manner contemplated
                                    hereby.

                           (3)      This Section 10 shall not be construed to
                                    prevent Employee from owning, directly and
                                    indirectly, in the aggregate, an amount not
                                    exceeding two percent (2%) of the issued and

                           (4)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
                                    forth in this Section 10, after termination

                                    either on paper, video or audio tape or

                                    the Term of this Agreement plus one (1)
                                    year; and (ii) December 16, 2004; provided,

                                    within twenty- four (24) months after a
                                    Change in Control as a result of a Change in
                                    Control Termination, then the Restricted

                           (6)      Employee does hereby agree that he will not
                                    make, or cause to be made, any statement,
                                    comment or remark which would reasonably be
                                    construed or intended to disparage,
                                    criticize or denigrate the Corporation or
                                    any of its current or former officers or
                                    directors.

                           (7)      The Corporation does hereby agree that none
                                    of the members of senior management will
                                    make, or cause to made, any statement,
                                    comment or remark which would reasonably be
                                    construed or intended to disparage,
                                    criticize or denigrate the Employee;
                                    provided, however, that members of senior
                                    management, shall be permitted, in the
                                    context of an internal performance review of
                                    the Employee to be critical of such
                                    Employee's performance.


                  (2)      Agreement Not to Compete. As part of the sale of
                           substantially all of the assets of Corporate TV
                           Group, Inc. to the Corporation in June 1997, the
                           Employee entered into a Non-Compete Agreement, dated
                           as of June 16, 1997 with the Corporation (the "1997
                           Non-Compete Agreement") and agreed to be bound by the
                           terms and provisions thereof through December 16,
                           2004. As an inducement for the Corporation to enter
                           into this Agreement, the Employee hereby agrees to
                           extend the Restricted Period, as defined in the 1997
                           Non-Compete Agreement through the later of: (i) the
                           Term of this Agreement plus one (1) year; and (ii)
                           December 16, 2004; provided however, that in the
                           event that the Employee ceases to be employed by the
                           Corporation within twenty-four (24) months after a
                           Change in Control as a result of a Change in Control
                           Termination, then the Restricted Period shall
                           terminate upon the date of the Change in Control
                           Termination. In the event that this provision is held
                           to be unenforceable by a court of competent
                           jurisdiction, then the provisions of the 1997
                           Non-Compete Agreement shall continue to apply as well
                           as the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.3 of this
                           Agreement. To the extent that there is a conflict
                           between the terms of this Section 10.2 and the terms
                           of Section 10.1, the terms of this Section 10.2 shall
                           control.

                  (3)      Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall
                           survive the termination of Employee's employment
                           hereunder and until the end of the Restricted Periods
                           as provided in Sections 10.1 (e) and 10.2 hereof.

         (11)     Rights and Remedies Upon Breach of Sections 9 or 10.

                  (1)      Return of Benefits. If the Employee breaches, or
                           threatens to commit a breach of, any of the
                           provisions of Sections 9 or 10 (the "Restrictive
                           Covenants"), the Corporation shall have the right and
                           remedy to require the Employee to account for and pay
                           over to the Corporation all compensation, profits,
                           monies, accruals, increments or other benefits
                           (collectively, "Benefits") derived or received by him
                           as the result of any transactions constituting a
                           breach of the Restrictive Covenants, and the Employee
                           shall account for and pay over such Benefits to the
                           Corporation and if specifically set forth in a
                           judgment the right and remedy to require the Employee
                           to forfeit his right to receive compensation
                           remaining to be paid to him pursuant to Section 4 of
                           this Agreement. In addition, if the Employee breaches
                           or threatens to commit a breach of any of the
                           Restrictive Covenants, (i) the Employee's unvested
                           stock options shall immediately lapse and (ii) the
                           Corporation shall have the right to purchase from the
                           Employee the Employee's vested stock options for the
                           book value of the shares of Common Stock underlying
                           such vested options less the exercise price of such
                           vested options or if such amount is less than zero,
                           then $.01 per option share. The Corporation may set
                           off any amounts due to the Corporation under this
                           Section 11.1 against any amounts owed to the Employee
                           by the Corporation.

                  (2)      Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges that the
                           services to be rendered under the provisions of this
                           Agreement are of a special, unique and extraordinary
                           character and that it would be difficult or
                           impossible to replace such services. Accordingly,
                           Employee agrees that any breach or threatened breach
                           by him of Sections 9 or 10 of this Agreement shall
                           entitle the Corporation, in addition to all other
                           legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court
                           of competent jurisdiction to enjoin such breach or
                           threatened breach without posting a bond or showing
                           special damages. The parties understand and intend
                           that each restriction agreed to by Employee
                           hereinabove shall be construed as separable and
                           divisible from every other restriction, that the
                           unenforceability of any restriction shall not limit
                           the enforceability, in whole or in part, of any other
                           restriction, and that one or more of all of such
                           restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as
                           the circumstances warrant. In the event that any
                           restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive
                           than permitted by law in the jurisdiction in which
                           the Corporation seeks enforcement thereof, such
                           restriction shall be limited to the extent permitted
                           by law.

         (12)     Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest; Abstention from
                  Speculation in Securities of the Corporation or Clients.

                  (1)      Conflicts of Interest; Speculation in Securities.

                                    In order to avoid actual or apparent
conflicts of interest, the Employee shall take all necessary actions to disclose
to the Corporation any direct or indirect ownership or financial interest in any
company, person or entity which is (i) a service provider to the Corporation,
(ii) an actual or intended client of the Corporation, or (iii) a competitor of
the Corporation.

                                    While the Employee is employed by the
Corporation, the Employee shall abstain from any direct or indirect acquisition
of securities of (i) the Corporation, except as offered by the Corporation to
the Employee as incentives, bonuses or options, or (ii) the Corporation's
clients or customers, except, for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii), as may be
specifically approved in writing by the Corporation upon the Employee's prior
written request; and (iii) from divulging or appropriating to the Employee's own
use or to that of others any secret, confidential or proprietary information or
knowledge regarding the Corporation, its clients or customers for the purpose of
speculation in the securities of any of them.

                  (2)      General Requirements. The Employee shall observe such
                           lawful policies of the Corporation as may from
                           time-to-time apply.

                  (3)      Insider Trading. Considering that the Corporation is
                           a publicly-traded corporation, the Employee hereby
                           agrees that the Employee shall comply with any and
                           all federal and state securities laws, including but
                           not limited to those that relate to non-disclosure of
                           information, insider trading and individual reporting
                           requirements and shall specifically abstain from
                           discussing the non-public aspects of the
                           Corporation's business affairs with any individual or
                           group of individuals (e.g., Internet chat rooms) who
                           does not have a business need to know such
                           information for the benefit of the Corporation.

<PAGE>

                  (4)      Limited Lock-Up. Considering that the Corporation's
                           securities are thinly traded and that a sale of a
                           large block of stock significantly depresses the
                           price of the Corporation's securities, the Employee
                           hereby agrees not to sell shares of the Corporation's
                           common stock, $.01 par value per share, representing
                           more than: (i) 25% of the Corporation's average daily
                           trading volume over the prior 30 trading days in any
                           week, nor (ii) 100% of the Corporation's average
                           daily trading volume over the prior 30 trading days
                           in any 30-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                           the Employee shall comply with any and all federal
                           and state securities laws.

         (13)     Miscellaneous.

                  (1)      Assignment. The Employee may not assign or delegate
                           any of his rights or duties under this Agreement.

                  (2)      Life Insurance. The Corporation shall have the right
                           (but not the obligation) to purchase ordinary or term
                           life insurance on the life of the Employee; any such
                           life insurance and any policy evidencing the same
                           shall be owned by, and shall be for the benefit of,
                           the Corporation. The Employee shall cooperate in all
                           respects in the securing of such insurance.

                  (3)      Consulting Services. Notwithstanding anything

                           Corporation.

                  (4)      General Obligations. The Employee hereby agrees to:
