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

Gentlemen:


                The undersigned stockholder,  officer and/or director of Media &
Entertainment  Holdings,  Inc.  ("Company"),  in consideration of Lazard Capital
Markets LLC ("Lazard") and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.  ("Ladenburg") entering
into a letter of intent  ("Letter of Intent") to  underwrite  an initial  public
offering of the  securities  of the Company  ("IPO")  and  embarking  on the IPO
process,  hereby agrees as follows  (certain  capitalized  terms used herein are
defined in paragraph 11 hereof):


                1.      If the Company solicits  approval of its stockholders of
a Business  Combination,  the  undersigned  will vote all Insider Shares and IPO
Shares  owned by him in  accordance  with the  majority of the votes cast by the
holders of the IPO Shares,  other than  Insiders,  officers and directors of the
Company.

                2.      In the event  that the  Company  fails to  consummate  a
Business Combination within 18 months from the effective date ("Effective Date")
of the  registration  statement  relating  to the IPO (or 24  months  under  the
circumstances  described in the prospectus relating to the IPO), the undersigned
will take all  reasonable  actions  within  his power to cause  the  Company  to
liquidate as soon as reasonably  practicable.  The undersigned hereby waives any
and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of
the  Trust  Fund (as  defined  in the  Letter  of  Intent)  as a result  of such
liquidation  with respect to his Insider Shares  ("Claim") and hereby waives any
Claim the  undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of,
any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse  against
the Trust Fund for any reason  whatsoever.  The undersigned  agrees to indemnify
and hold  harmless  the  Company  against any and all loss,  liability,  claims,
damage and expense whatsoever (including,  but not limited to, any and all legal
or other expenses reasonably  incurred in investigating,  preparing or defending
against any litigation,  whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever)
which the  Company  may become  subject as a result of any claim by any  vendor,
prospective  target  business or other  entity that is owed money by the Company
for  services  rendered or  products  sold but only to the extent  necessary  to
ensure that such loss,  liability,  claim, damage or expense does not reduce the
amount in the Trust Fund (as defined in the Letter of Intent).

                3.      In order to  minimize  potential  conflicts  of interest
which may arise from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to
the Company for its consideration,  prior to presentation to any other person or
entity,  any suitable  opportunity to acquire an operating  business,  until the
earlier  of the  consummation  by the  Company of a  Business  Combination,  the
liquidation of the Company or until such time as the undersigned ceases to be an
officer  or  director  of the  Company,  subject to any  pre-existing  fiduciary
obligations the undersigned might have.


                4.      The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company
will not consummate any Business  Combination  which involves a company which is
affiliated  with any of the Insiders  unless the Company obtains an opinion from
an  independent  investment  banking firm  reasonably  acceptable  to Lazard and
Ladenburg that the business  combination  is fair to the Company's  stockholders
from a financial perspective.


                5.      Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the

to the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that commencing on the
Effective Date, Transmedia  Corporation  ("Related Party"),  shall be allowed to
charge the Company an allocable  share of Related Party's  overhead,  $7,500 per
month, to compensate it for certain  administrative,  technology and secretarial
services,  as well as the use of certain  limited office space in Dallas,  Texas
that it will provide to the Company.  Related  Party and the  undersigned  shall
also be entitled  to  reimbursement  from the  Company  for their  out-of-pocket
expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  seeking  and  consummating  a Business
Combination.

                6.      Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the
undersigned,  or any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or
accept a finder's fee or any other  compensation  in the event the  undersigned,
any member of the family of the  undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned
originates a Business Combination.

                7.      The  undersigned  will escrow his Insider Shares for the
period   commencing  on  the  Effective  Date  and  ending  one  year  from  the
consummation of a business  combination,  subject to the terms of a Stock Escrow
Agreement  which the Company will enter into with the  undersigned and an escrow
agent acceptable to the Company.


                8.      The   undersigned   agrees  to  be  the  Executive  Vice
President  and Chief  Financial  Officer of the Company until the earlier of the
consummation by the Company of a Business  Combination or the liquidation of the
Company. The undersigned's  biographical  information  furnished to the Company,
