                                  AGREEMENTS

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties intending to be bound
legally, hereby agree as follows:


SECTION 1     EMPLOYMENT

         1.1 Term of Employment. The term of this Agreement (the "Agreement

forth in Schedule I hereof, and shall continue until the third (3rd)
anniversary of the Commencement Date, unless terminated sooner in accordance
with this Agreement.

         1.2 Duties. Employee acknowledges, agrees and accepts employment by
Paxson in the Titled Position for the Paxson Group and in such capacity
Employee shall be responsible for the performance of the duties of the Titled
Position and for such other executive and administrative duties as may be

Schedule I annexed hereto, together with all reasonable support staff and
secretarial assistance, equipment, stationary, books and supplies, as
determined by the Responsible Officer. Employee shall use Employee's best
efforts during the term of employment hereunder to further, enhance and develop
the business of PCC, the Paxson Group and any networks or stations it may own
or operate. Subject to the direction of the "RESPONSIBLE OFFICER", as
identified in Schedule I annexed hereto, Employee shall perform such duties as
set forth in Schedule I annexed hereto under "EMPLOYMENT DUTIES." Except as
expressly modified herein, Employee shall be subject to all of the Paxson
Group's policies including payola, plugola and conflicts of interest, as well
as the following:

                  (a) Employee will comply with all Paxson Group and
         professional standards governing Employee's objectivity in the
         performance of Employee's duties, including restrictions on outside
         activities, investments, business interests, or other involvements
         which could compromise Employee's objectivity or create an impression
         of conflict of interest. Employee will not knowingly, without the
         prior approval of Employee's Responsible Officer on behalf of Paxson,
         accept any gift, compensation, or gratuity (which excludes business
         meals and entertainment received by Employee in the ordinary course of
         business) from any person or entity with which the Paxson Group or any
         of its broadcast properties is or may be in competition or in any
         instance where there is a stated or implied expectation of favorable
         treatment of that person or entity. Employee will not, without the
         prior written approval of Employee's Responsible Officer, take
         advantage of any business opportunity or situation or engage in any
         enterprise or venture of which the Paxson Group may have an interest
         on his or her own behalf, if said business opportunity or situation,
         enterprise or venture is related in any way to or is similar to the
         business of the Paxson Group.

                  (b) In performing the Employment Duties under this Agreement,
         Employee shall conduct himself with due regard to social conventions,
         public morals and standards of decency, and will not cause or permit
         any situation or occurrence which would tend to degrade, scandalize,
         bring into public disrepute, or otherwise lower the community standing
         of Employee, or Paxson's public image.

         1.3 Activities. Employee shall, except during vacation periods,
periods of illness, and leaves of absence approved by Paxson, devote full and
undivided business time, attention and energies to the duties and
responsibilities required by Paxson, as directed by the Responsible Officer.
During the Agreement Term, Employee shall not engage in any other business
activity which would conflict with Employee's duties without the prior written
approval of Employee's Responsible Officer on behalf of Paxson, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Paxson may withhold its
consent to any business activity by Employee that Paxson determines would
directly interfere, impair or hinder in any way Employee's ability to perform
or otherwise satisfy Employee's




                                       2

responsibilities and duties from time to time in effect, as the holder of the
Titled Position of the Paxson Group or otherwise, under this Agreement.

         1.4 Delegation of Duties. Employee may not delegate the performance of
any of Employee's obligations or duties under this Agreement, or assign any of
Employee's rights under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of
Paxson, except that Employee may delegate duties to other employees of Paxson
where reasonable and customary in the ordinary course of Paxson's business and
consistent with the performance of the Titled Position.


SECTION 2     COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

         Beginning on the Commencement Date, Employee shall be compensated for
the performance of the Employment Duties performed under the terms hereof as
follows:

         2.1 Base Salary. As compensation for the services performed by
Employee hereunder, Employee shall receive a Base Salary, as follows:

                  (a) Initial Base Salary. Paxson and Employee acknowledge and
         agree that Employee's current Base Salary in effect for the current

         year ended December 31.

                  (b) Increase in Base Salary. For each Employment Year after
         the current Employment Year (each such year a "SUCCESSIVE EMPLOYMENT

         any, for each such Successive Employment Year as shall be as
         determined by the Responsible Officer (subject to the approval of the

         (10%) in excess of the existing base salary, subject to any freeze or

         of duties and compensation) management of PCC.

                  (c) Bonus. Employee shall be entitled to an annual bonus,
         based upon Paxson Group performance, in the amount payable and as

                  (a) In addition to Employee's Base Salary, Employee may, as

         non-cash bonus awards, grants of stock options, restricted stock,

         Compensation shall be governed under the terms of a separate document
         or documents, if any Non-Cash Compensation is to be awarded to
         Employee. Under no circumstance should this provision be deemed to
         constitute any express or implied right, entitlement or interest of
         Employee to be awarded or participate in, or obligation, agreement or
         requirement of Paxson, to award, provide or offer to Employee, any
         form of Non-Cash Compensation, all of which rights, entitlements,
         interests, obligations, agreements or understandings are hereby
         expressly disclaimed.

positions, and which may be in effect at any time or from time to time during
the term of Employee's employment.

         the Company's failure to remedy a breach of this Agreement upon
         written notice from Employee; or (iii) if, within one year after a
         Change of Control (as defined below), Paxson terminates Employee's
         employment with Paxson without Cause (an "INVOLUNTARY PAXSON
         TERMINATION"), a date specified in such notice which shall be not less
         than thirty (30) days after the date on which such notice is received
         by Employee. In that event, Paxson shall pay to Employee the amounts

<PAGE>   6

         of PCC immediately prior to this reorganization, merger or
         consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50 percent
         of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the
         election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated
         company's (or any successor entity's) then outstanding securities; or
         (c) a liquidation or dissolution of PCC or of the sale of all or at
         least 80 percent of PCC's assets.

         pay to Employee the amounts, if any, set forth in Section 3.2 hereof
         in respect to a Voluntary Termination. For purposes of this Agreement,

         Employee the amounts, if any, set forth in Section 3.2 hereof in
         respect of a Voluntary Termination. An Employee shall be subject to
         termination for "CAUSE" when the termination results from:

                  (i) Employee's arrest for the commission of (A) a felony, (B)
                  two (2) offenses for operating a motor vehicle while impaired
                  by or under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, (C)
                  any criminal act with respect to Employee's employment
                  (including any criminal act involving a violation of the
                  Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or regulations
                  promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission), or (D)
                  any act that materially threatens to result in suspension,
                  revocation, or adverse modification of any FCC license of any
                  broadcast station owned by any affiliate of Paxson or would
                  subject any such broadcast station to fine or forfeiture;

                  (ii) Employee's wilfully taking of any action or inaction the

                  material contract, lease or other agreement;

                  (iii) Employee's dependence on alcohol or illegal drugs;

                  (iv) Refusal to perform according to or follow the legal
                  policies and directives of the Responsible Officer and

                  such unsatisfactory performance;

                  (v) Conduct which could be reasonably inferred to detract
                  from the public image of the Paxson Group;

                  of the assets of Paxson or any affiliate of Paxson;
