the Withdrawal Date, EBCO shall be obligated to take such actions in the
exercise of its best efforts as are necessary to enable the Hollywood
Restaurant to be open to the public on a timely basis, all in the same manner

basis between the date hereof and the Withdrawal Date. As of the date hereof,
EBCO, Earl and Barish represent that except as otherwise enumerated on EXHIBIT

course of business in the construction industry).

         8. INDEMNIFICATION BY MARVEL, MEG AND UCO. Marvel, MEG and UCO hereby
jointly and severally indemnify and hold EBCO, Barish, Earl and their
affiliates harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims,
penalties, losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees,
based upon or arising out of the performance or nonperformance by Marvel, MEG
or UCO of any of their respective obligations in the case of Marvel and MEG,
under the Venture Agreement and/or the Memorandum and in the case of Marvel,
MEG and UCO, under the Partnership Agreement, the Lease Agreement and/or this
Assignment and Withdrawal Agreement.

reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of the performance or non-performance
by EBCO, Earl and Barish of their respective obligations under the Venture
Agreement, the Memorandum, the Partnership Agreement, the Lease Agreement
and/or this Assignment and Withdrawal Agreement; provided, however, that
neither EBCO, Earl or Barish shall have any liability hereunder for any loss
caused by any act or failure to act if the loss suffered arises out of a
mistake in judgment made in good faith, or if EBCO, Earl and/or Barish had
reasonably believed that the action or lack of action giving rise to the loss
was in the best interest of the Venture and/or Partnership; provided, further
however that such exculpation from liability shall not apply to any liability
for loss caused by any act or by the failure to do any act which arises out of
the gross negligence, willful neglect, willful misconduct or fraud of EBCO,
Earl or Barish. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
EBCO, Earl and Barish shall not be liable to or obligated hereunder to
indemnify Marvel, MEG and/or UCO with respect to matters pertaining to sales,

         10.      MANAGEMENT OF HOLLYWOOD RESTAURANT.

                  (a) UCO and Marvel agree that from and after the Withdrawal
Date until June 30, 2000 (the "Initial Term"), UCO shall assume the day to day
management of the Hollywood Restaurant which has heretofore been the
responsibility of EBCO. Thereafter, the management agreement shall be
automatically extended for successive one year terms (each, a "Successive
Term"). During the Initial Term or any Successive Term in which UCO is acting
as manager of the Hollywood Restaurant, UCO shall be entitled to collect
one-half (1/2) of the Management Fee payable to the Venture pursuant to Section
14 of the Partnership Agreement and the remaining one-half (1/2) of the
Management Fee shall continue to be paid to the Venture. During such period as
a substitute manager selected by the Venture is managing the Hollywood
Restaurant, the Venture (together with the substitute manager) shall be
entitled to collect the entire Management Fee. Nothing contained herein shall
alter the percentage interests of either of the Partners in the Partnership.

                  (b) UCO and any substitute manager (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Manager") shall have the following management
responsibilities pertaining to the Hollywood Restaurant (the "Management
Requirements"):

                       (i) The Manager shall provide to Marvel all of the
reports (i.e., daily, weekly, monthly sales reports, status reports, etc.) and
projections set forth in Section 7.4 of the Partnership Agreement.

                       (ii) The Manager shall fulfill the Venture's obligations
under the first sentence of Section 7.1 and under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the
Partnership Agreement.

                       (iii) The Manager shall give a true account of all
business transactions arising out of or in connection with the business.

                       (iv) The Manger shall be responsible for day-to-day
management activities including, without limitation, restaurant personnel
decisions, procurement, and upkeep.

                       (v) The Manager shall maintain, on a continuing basis, a
standard of entertainment, food quality and service, viewed together on an
overall basis, consistent with budgetary limits established by the partners of
the Partnership, which standard is appropriate for large themed restaurants
catering to the same type of clientele as the Restaurant, such standard to be
established on an objective basis and applied by an independent firm
experienced in reviewing restaurant operations.

                       (vi) The Manager shall comply with all applicable health
and safety standards.


<PAGE>

                       (vii) Prior to each fiscal year, the partners of the
Partnership shall mutually agree upon an operating and capital expenditures
budget for the Hollywood Restaurant, including projected receipts and cash
flows, for the upcoming fiscal year (the "Budget"). Universal shall submit to
Marvel for approval, a proposed Budget for the fiscal year which begins in
July, 1998. Marvel acknowledges and agrees that UCO will be allowed to manage
the Hollywood Restaurant for the period prior to the fiscal year which begins
July, 1998 without a fiscal budget. The expenses during the period prior to the
fiscal year which begins in July, 1998, excluding costs directly related to the
opening of the Restaurant, shall be used as a guideline for the creation of a
Budget for the fiscal year which begins in July, 1999.

                       (viii) The Manager shall manage the Hollywood Restaurant
in a manner consistent (in terms of both operations and theming) with the
standards of the Marvel Mania chain and shall manage the Hollywood Restaurant
in such a way as to protect the image fostered by Marvel with respect to the
Marvel Characters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Marvel Mania chain
adopts standards which are inconsistent with, or more burdensome than, the
manner in which the Hollywood Restaurant is then being managed, operated, or
themed, the Manager shall not be required to conform to such Marvel Mania chain
criteria if to do so would require a substantial expenditure or a substantial
departure from the way in which the Hollywood has been operated or would
otherwise be unreasonably burdensome to the Partnership.

                  (c) (i) Marvel shall have the right to remove Universal as
manager for cause during the Initial Term or any Successive Term. "Cause" as
used herein shall mean a violation of any of the Management Requirements.
Furthermore, the Manager may be removed if for each of any two successive
fiscal years beginning with the July, 1999 to June, 2000 fiscal year, the
Partnership has failed to achieve earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization ("EBITDA") within 15% of the approved EBITDA figures in the
Budgets for each of such two (2) successive fiscal years, subject to reasonable
adjustment to account for matters beyond the reasonable control of the Manager
(including without limitation Acts of God or major decreases in theme park
attendance). In order to cause the removal of the Manager pursuant to this
sentence, notice must be given to the Manager within 60 days following the end
of the particular two successive fiscal year period.

                       (ii) If UCO receives a notice of removal for cause (the
"Removal Notice"), the Removal Notice shall become effective within 90 days of
UCO's receipt of such notice unless UCO shall cure such violation within sixty
(60) days of its receipt. There, however, shall be no cure period for failure
to achieve the required level of EBITDA as specified in the second sentence of
Subparagraph (c)(i) above. In the event a Removal Notice is issued, Marvel and
UCO shall have forty-five (45) days from its transmittal to mutually agree upon
a substitute manager. If Marvel and UCO are unable to agree upon a substitute
manager within said forty-five (45) day period, Marvel shall have the right,
subject to satisfaction of the Manager Criteria (as defined below) to select a
substitute manager, subject to a limited approval right (as defined herein) by
Universal. The Initial Term for the substitute manager shall be eighteen (18)
months. UCO shall have the right to cause Marvel to remove and replace the
substitute manager in the same manner and according to the same procedures as
set forth above subject to a limited approval right by UCO of the successor
manager in the event Marvel and UCO cannot mutually 


<PAGE>

agree upon a successor manager. The process outlined above may be repeated from
time to time to the extent the current manager is replaced pursuant to this
Paragraph. The Manager Criteria shall be as follows:

                       (1) Any substitute manager must have a history of
successfully operating more than one themed or highly profiled restaurant, each
having more than 250 seats.

                       (2) Any substitute manager must have a good reputation
in the communities and businesses in which it operates.

The "limited approval right" as used herein shall mean the right to reject a
proposed substitute manager if UCO can demonstrate by reasonable evidence that
the Manager Criteria, when applicable, has not been reasonably satisfied.

                (d) The parties hereby agree that they will have joint approval
over the following aspects of the restaurant including the development of (i)
the menu, (ii) the physical design of the restaurant, (iii) the merchandise mix
in the retail area, (iv) the type of food, beverage and merchandise as well as
the retail prices, and (v) advertising and promotional material, except Marvel
shall have final approval over the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing
involves the use of a Marvel trademark, trade dress or character or involves
changes by the Partnership which would result in the Hollywood Restaurant being
in material deviation from the other restaurants in the Marvel Mania chain.

         11. PARTIES. The parties hereto acknowledge that certain provisions of
this Agreement are not intended to bind each and every party and that certain
recitals, statements of facts, representations and warranties do not constitute
the recitals, statement of facts or representations or warranties of each and
every party; it being understood that a party shall be bound by only those
respective provisions, recitals, statements of facts, representations and
warranties, to the extent such provision, recital, statement of fact,
representation or warranty expressly binds, limits or refers to such party by
name; provided, however all parties are bound by all provisions of general
applicability.

         12. DEFAULT. An event of default under this Agreement shall be deemed
to occur in the event any party hereto breaches or fails to comply with any
agreement, obligation, representation, warranty or undertaking contained herein
which is applicable to such party. Upon the occurrence of an event of default,
a non-defaulting party hereto shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights
and remedies available to such parties at law or in equity, including, without
limitation, the right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement
shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

rights or otherwise limit the Venture's, MEG's or Marvel Restaurant Corp.'s
obligations. Without derogating from the generality of the prior sentence,
Section 20 of the Partnership Agreement shall govern if either partner of the
Partnership becomes the Defaulting Partner under the Partnership Agreement
(including without limitation the right of the partner which is not the
Defaulting Partner to exercise sole authority to determine all matters referred

Agreement will not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Marvel shall retain
the right to enforce the provisions of Subparagraph (b)(viii) and the final
approval rights specified in Paragraph (d) both of Section 10 of this

and each of its terms and conditions thereof except as such terms or conditions
may be inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Agreement itself.

                  (k) This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
shall constitute one and the same agreement.
