<PAGE>

         12.      Confidential Information.

         The Executive acknowledges that his employment by the Employer has
brought and will bring him into close contact with confidential proprietary
information of the Employer, including information regarding costs, profits,
markets, sales, products, key personnel, pricing policies, operational methods,
technical processes, other business affairs and methods, plans for future
developments, and other information not readily available to the public, the
disclosure of which to third parties would in each case have a material adverse
effect on the Employer's business operations (the "Confidential Information").
In recognition of the foregoing, the Executive covenants and agrees that:

         (a) he will keep secret all Confidential Information and will not
intentionally disclose Confidential Information to anyone outside of the
Employer and its representatives other than in the course of performance of his
duties hereunder, either during or for a one year period after the Term except
with the Employer's written consent, provided that (i) the Executive shall have
no such obligation to the extent Confidential Information is or becomes publicly
known other than as a result of the Executive's breach of his obligations
hereunder and (ii) the Executive may, after giving prior notice to the Employer
to the extent practicable under the circumstances, disclose such matters to the
extent required by applicable laws or governmental regulations or judicial or
regulatory process; and

         (b) he will, at the Executive's option, either (i) deliver promptly to
the Employer on termination of his employment by the Employer or at any other
time the Employer may so request, and at the Employer's request, all memoranda,
notes, records, reports and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to
the Employer's business, which he obtained while employed by, or otherwise
serving or acting on behalf of, the Employer and which he may then possess or
have under his control (the "Records"); or (ii) in lieu of subclause (i) above,
the Executive shall destroy all of the Records and shall deliver to the Employer
a certificate to that effect.

         13.      Termination.

<PAGE>

         (b) the Executive engages in conduct that constitutes willful gross
neglect or willful gross misconduct in carrying out his duties under this
Employment Agreement, resulting, in either case, in material economic harm to

nonact was in the best interests of the Employer.

         13.1.2   A "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of any one of
the following events:

         (a) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (other than the Executive or
members of management on the date hereof or otherwise appointed by the Board
which is comprised of a majority of "incumbent directors" or entities controlled

promulgated under that Act, of 25% or more of the voting power of the Employer;

         (b) all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Employer

or other transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in substantially
the same proportion as they owned the voting power of the Employer, all of the
voting power or other ownership interests of the entity or entities, if any,
that succeed to the business of the Employer);

         (c) the Employer combines with another company and is the surviving

of the directors who then comprise the incumbent directors shall be considered
an incumbent director.

         13.1.3   "Constructive Termination Without Cause" shall mean a
termination of the Executive's employment at his initiative as provided in this

         (b) the failure to elect or reelect the Executive to any of the
positions described in Section 3 hereof or the removal of him from any such
position;

         (c) a material diminution in the Executive's duties or the assignment
to the Executive of duties which are materially inconsistent with his duties or
which materially impair the Executive's ability to function as the President,

         13.2     Termination by the Employer for Cause.

         A termination for Cause shall not take effect unless all of the
provisions of this Section 13.2 are complied with. The Executive shall be given
written notice by the Board of the intention to terminate him for Cause, such
notice (a) to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or failures
to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause
is based and (b) to be given within three months of the Board learning of such
act or acts or failure or failures to act. The Executive shall have 10 business
days after the date that such written notice has been given to the Executive in
which to cure such conduct, to the extent such cure is possible. If he fails to
cure such conduct, the Executive shall then be entitled to a hearing before the
Board. Such hearing shall be held within 15 business days of such notice to the
Executive, provided he requests such hearing within 10 business days of the
written notice from the Board of the intention to terminate him for Cause. If,
within five business days following such hearing, the Executive is furnished
written notice by the Board confirming that, in its judgment, grounds for Cause
on the basis of the original notice exist, he shall thereupon be terminated for
Cause.

         13.2.1   In the event the Employer terminates the Executive's
employment for Cause, he shall be entitled to:

         (a) the Base Salary through the date the of termination of his
employment for Cause; and

         (b) a Bonus for the year in which he was terminated equal to the Bonus
for the year prior to such termination, prorated over the time elapsed during
the year in which he was terminated.

         13.2.2   In the event the Employer terminates the Executive's
employment for Cause, the Executive shall have no further obligations or
liability to the Employer (except his obligations under Sections 12 and 16,
which shall survive).

         13.3     Termination Without Cause or Constructive Termination Without
Cause. In the event the Executive's employment is terminated without Cause,
other than due to disability or death, or in the event there is a Constructive
Termination Without Cause, the Executive shall be entitled to:

         (a) the Base Salary through the date of termination of the Executive's
employment;

         (b) the Base Salary, at the annualized rate in effect on the date of
termination of the Executive's employment (or in the event a reduction in Base
Salary is the basis for a Constructive Termination Without Cause, the Base
Salary in effect immediately prior to such a reduction) for a period of 36
months following such termination or until the end of the Term, whichever is
longer; provided that, at the Executive's option, the Employer shall pay him the
present value of such salary continuation payments in a lump sum within thirty
(30) days of the effective date of



                                       6
<PAGE>

such termination (using as the discount rate 75% of the prime rate (as published
by The Wall Street Journal) for the first business day of the month in which
such termination occurs);

         (c) a Bonus for the unexpired Term not less than the $250,000.00
guaranteed cash bonus provided in Section 7.1(a) multiplied by all year(s) and
month(s) remaining in the then unexpired Term; provided that, at the Executive's
option, the Employer shall pay him the present value of such salary and bonuses
in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such termination
(using as the discount rate 75% of the prime rate (as published by The Wall
Street Journal) for the first business day of the month in which such
termination occurs); and

         (d) all benefits provided in Section 9 hereof until the end of the
Term, with no additional cost or charge payable by the Executive.

         13.4     Rights Following a Change in Control. In the event of a Change
in Control, the Executive shall be entitled to act with respect to this
Employment Agreement as provided in section 13.5, and to all payments and
benefits provided in Section 13.3, provided that such payments, together with
the additional consideration described in this section, shall be paid in a lump
sum and without any discount or reduction, or in the case of non-monetary
consideration, delivered to the Executive before or contemporaneously with the
consummation of the Change in Control. In addition, the Employer shall (i)
promptly upon a Change in Control, assign to the Executive clean title to the
chauffeur-driven limousine then being furnished by the Employer to the Executive
in connection with his employment by the Company, (ii) contribute as salary and
expenses the first $25,000 of the costs associated with the driver of such
limousine, in accordance with past practice, for the first year following the
date of the Change in Control, and (iii) promptly upon a Change in Control, make
all lease payments remaining due on the 2000 Mercedes 500 S currently being
leased, or on such other vehicle as is then being leased, by the Employer for
the Executive's use, in a lump sum, together with any required vehicle
acquisition fee, and assign all right, title and interest in the purchase option
to such vehicle to the Executive. In addition: (a) any application of Section
13.1.3(d) of this Employment Agreement by the Employer or the Company shall be
suspended from the Employer's or the Company's entry into any agreement
contemplating a Change in Control, and deemed stricken from this Employment
Agreement and rescinded upon the consummation of any Change in Control; and (b)
Section 16 of this Employment Agreement immediately, and without additional
action, shall be deemed and rendered null, void, and without any effect as
against the Executive upon the consummation of the Change in Control. The
Executive shall forfeit any rights granted pursuant to this Section 13.4 if the
Executive, in his sole and absolute discretion and without any obligation
whatsoever to do so, determines that he will accept a written offer to remain
with the surviving company in an executive position with equivalent duties,
authority and responsibility as the Executive currently holds (other than as a
non-employee director).

         13.4.1   Payment Following a Change in Control. In the event that the
termination of the Executive's employment is as a result of a Change in Control
and the aggregate of all payments or benefits made or provided to the Executive
under this Employment Agreement and under all other plans and programs of the
Employer (the "Aggregate Payment") is determined to constitute a Parachute
Payment, as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), the Employer shall pay
to the Executive, prior to the time any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Internal Revenue



                                       7
<PAGE>

Code ("Excise Tax") is payable with respect to such Aggregate Payment, an
additional amount which, after the imposition of all income and excise taxes
thereon, is equal to 120% of the Excise Tax on the Aggregate Payment The
determination of whether the Aggregate Payment constitutes a Parachute Payment
and, if so, the amount to be paid to the Executive and the time of payment
pursuant to this subsection shall be made by an independent auditor (the
"Auditor") jointly selected by the Employer and the Executive and paid by the
Employer. The Auditor shall be a nationally recognized United States public
accounting firm which has not, during the two years preceding the date of its
selection, acted in any way on behalf of the Employer or any affiliate thereof.
If the Executive and the Employer cannot agree on the firm to serve as the
Auditor, then the Executive and the Employer shall each select one accounting
firm and those two firms shall jointly select the accounting firm to serve as
the Auditor.

         13.5     Voluntary Termination. In the event of a termination of
employment by the Executive on his own initiative other than (i) a termination
due to death or disability; (ii) a Constructive Termination without Cause; or
(iii) a Change in Control (which event may be represented to third parties at
the Executive's sole option as a voluntary separation mutually agreed to between
and among the Employer, the Company, and the Executive), the Executive shall
have the same entitlements as provided in Section 13.2 above for a termination
for Cause. A voluntary termination under Section 13.5(i), (ii) or (iii) shall be
effective upon reasonable prior written notice to the Employer, need not be
provided in the event of termination due to death or the consummation of a
Change in Control, and in no event shall the occurrence of any event
contemplated by Section 13.5 (i), (ii), or (iii) be deemed as the Executive's
breach of this Employment Agreement.

         13.6     Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon
termination for any reason whatsoever, the Executive shall have the immediate
right to exercise any stock options in full, whether or not such option is fully
exercisable on the date of termination, for the remainder of the original term
of each such stock option.

         13.7     No Mitigation; No Offset. In the event of any termination of
employment under this Employment Agreement, the Executive shall be under no
obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no offset against amounts
due the Executive under this Employment Agreement on account of any remuneration
attributable to any subsequent employment that he may obtain.

         13.8. Option Adjustment. The number of options issuable pursuant to
this Section 13 and the per share exercise price thereof shall be subject to
appropriate adjustment to give effect to any increase or decrease in the number
of issued shares resulting from a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split,
spin-off or other similar action.

         14.      Disability.

         14.1     If during his active employment hereunder the Executive shall
become physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, so that he
is prevented from performing his usual duties for a period of six consecutive
months, the Employer shall, nevertheless, pay the Executive his full Base Salary
and Bonus in respect of the period ending on the last day of the



                                       8
<PAGE>

sixth consecutive month of disability (such last day being referred to herein as
the "Disability Date") and the following additional provisions shall apply:

         14.2     If the Executive has not resumed his usual duties on or prior
to the Disability Date, the Executive's employment shall terminate and the
Employer shall pay, unless prior to the date the Executive became physically or
mentally disabled a notice of termination was delivered to the Executive, 75% of
his Base Salary from the Disability Date through the end of the Term (without
giving effect to any early termination provisions contained in this Employment
Agreement) and, except as provided in Section 14.4, the Employer shall have no
obligation to pay Bonus to the Executive in respect of periods after the
Disability Date. Any Base Salary payable pursuant to this Section 14.2 shall be
reduced by the amount of any benefits payable to the Executive under any group
or individual disability insurance plan or policy, the premiums for which are
paid primarily by the Employer;

         14.3     Unless the Employer exercises its option under Section 14.4 to
restore the Executive to his full compensation, duties, functions, authority and
responsibilities hereunder, the Executive shall have no obligations or
liabilities hereunder from and after the Disability Date (except for his
obligations under Sections 12 and 16, which shall survive); and

         14.4     If during the Term and subsequent to a Disability Date, the
Executive shall recover fully from a disability, the Employer, by action of the
Board, shall have the right (exercisable within sixty days after notice from the
Executive of such recovery), but not the obligation, to restore the Executive to
employment and to full compensation and his full level of duties, functions,
authority and responsibilities hereunder.

         15.      Death of Executive.

         15.1     Upon the Executive's death, whether prior to or subsequent to
his Disability Date and prior to the delivery of a notice of termination, this
Employment Agreement and all of the Employer's obligations to pay salary and
Bonus hereunder shall terminate except as provided in Sections 15.2 through
15.4.

         15.2     The Executive's estate or designated beneficiary shall be
entitled to receive (a) any unpaid portions of the Executive's Base Salary in
respect of the period ending on the Executive's date of death, (b) unpaid Bonus
in respect of years prior to the year of death, and (c) immediately vested
options to purchase 30,000 shares of Class A Stock at an exercise price equal to
the exercise price of the last stock option granted by the Employer to the
Executive prior to the Executive's death. In addition, the Employer shall pay to
such estate or beneficiary an amount equal to the present value of all the
remaining Base Salary, calculated assuming annual compound interest at 75% of
the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) for the first business
day of the month in which the Executive's death occurs.

         15.3     The Base Salary and Bonus payable pursuant to this Section 15
shall be reduced by the value of any benefits payable to the Executive's estate
or designated beneficiary under any life insurance plan or policy the premiums
for which are paid primarily by the Employer.

         16.      Non-competition.



                                       9
<PAGE>

         16.1     During the Term, the Executive will not, without the prior
written approval of the Board, become employed by, or become an officer,
director, or general partner of, any partnership, corporation or other entity
which acts as a producer or venue operator in the live entertainment business or
which acts as a marketing and management company specializing in the
representation of team sports athletes (the "Prohibited Business"); provided
that nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from continuing to fulfill his
obligations as an officer, director or partner of companies or entities in which
he currently serves in any such capacities.

         16.2     Subject to the following proviso, for a period of one year
following the termination of the Executive's employment hereunder, the Executive

         18.2     Captions. The section headings contained herein are for
reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Employment Agreement

         18.3     Entire Agreement. This Employment Agreement, including any
Exhibits attached hereto, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of
the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior
and/or contemporaneous agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or
oral, between the parties with respect to such subject matter (including,
without limitation, the Original Employment Agreement), except as specifically
provided herein.

         18.4     Successors and Assigns. This Employment Agreement, and the
Executive's rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the
Executive, except that the Executive may designate pursuant to Section 18.6 one
or more beneficiaries to receive any amounts that would otherwise be payable
hereunder to the Executive's estate. This Employment Agreement shall be binding
on any successor to the Employer, whether by merger, acquisition of
substantially all of the Employer's assets or otherwise, as fully as if such
successor were a signatory hereto and the Employer shall cause such successor
to, and such successor shall, expressly assume the Employer's obligations
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, the term "Employer",
as used in this Employment Agreement, shall include all such successors.

         18.5     Amendments; Waivers. This Employment Agreement cannot be
changed, modified or amended, and no provision or requirement hereof may be
waived, without an affirmative vote of the Board after the affirmative
recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, and the consent in
writing of the Executive and the Employer. The failure of a party at any time or
times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect
the right of such party at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by a
party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Employment
Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall
be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such
breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in
this Employment Agreement.

         18.6     Beneficiaries. Whenever this Employment Agreement provides for
any payment to the Executive's estate, such payment may be made instead to such
beneficiary or beneficiaries as the Executive may have designated in a writing
filed with the Employer. The Executive shall have the right to revoke any such
designation and to redesignate a beneficiary or beneficiaries by written notice
to the Employer (and to any applicable insurance company) to such effect.
