working order, ordinary wear

one instance or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect on any
Company or any Business. None of the Companies have any assets which are not
used in the Businesses.

                  (c) The E/C Assets are listed on Schedule 3.07 hereto. The
transfer of the E/C Assets pursuant to Section 2.07 has been duly authorized by

the Buyer of the E/C Assets and to perform its obligations thereunder. Assuming
the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Buyer, if
applicable, each such document will constitute, a legal, valid and binding

respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
the rights and remedies of creditors and secured parties generally and general
principles of equity.

limited by bankruptcy and other laws affecting the enforceability of creditors'
rights generally or laws governing the availability of specific performance or
other equitable remedies. A true and complete copy of each such lease agreement
has been delivered or made available to the Buyer. Each of CAMP and each Company
which is a party to any such lease or license agreement has performed all of its
obligations required to be performed by it thereunder, and no default exists
under any provision thereof, nor has any event occurred thereunder which, with
the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default
thereunder by any party thereto.

secrets necessary to conduct the Businesses as now operated. To the knowledge of
the Seller Entities, the use of the Intellectual Property and such manufacturing
processes, know-how and trade secrets in connection with the Businesses does not
infringe upon the rights of any third party. There are no suits, claims or
assessments pending or, to the knowledge of any Seller Entity, threatened
relating to the use of the Intellectual Property or such manufacturing
processes, know-how and trade secrets. No Seller Entity is aware of any pending
or threatened cancellation or revocation of any agreement granting to any
Company rights to any of the Intellectual Property, manufacturing process, or
know-how of others used in the Businesses. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.10,
no person is entitled to any payment in connection with any Intellectual
Property, manufacturing process or trade secret used in the Businesses.

binding, enforceable and legal obligation of CAMP or the Company which is a
party thereto and the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors and secured parties generally and general principles of

the Contracts requires the consent of a third party in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.

                  (c) Except as set forth in part (c) of Schedule 3.11, no

on the part of any party to any Contract listed on Schedule 3.11 (i) to
terminate or significantly change its existing business relationship with any of
the Companies, CAMP or any of the Businesses or (ii) to fail to renew or extend
its existing business relationship with any of the Companies, CAMP or any of the
Businesses at the end of the term of any existing contractual arrangement

         Section 3.15 Taxes.

                  (a) Except as otherwise set forth in part (a) of Schedule
3.15, CAMP and each of the Companies (and each Seller with respect to CAMP and
the Companies) has filed, within the time and manner prescribed by law, all Tax
Returns that it was required to file. All such Tax Returns were correct and
complete in all material respects. Except as otherwise set forth in part (a) of
Schedule 3.15, all Taxes owed by CAMP or any of the Companies (whether or not
shown on any Tax Return) have been paid. Except as otherwise set forth in part
(a) of Schedule 3.15, neither CAMP nor any of the Companies currently is the
beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No
claim has ever been made by any Tax Authority in a jurisdiction where CAMP or
any of the Companies do not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to
taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no Liens on any of the assets of CAMP
or any of the Companies that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged
failure) to pay any Tax. All written assessments of Taxes due and payable by, on
behalf of or with respect to each of the Seller Entities pertaining to CAMP or
any of the Companies have been paid by such party, or, to the extent disclosed
to the Buyer in writing prior to the Closing, are being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings and have been reserved against in accordance with
GAAP.

                  (b) The sale of the Partnership Interests shall cause the
current taxable year of IMA to close on the Closing Date pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.708-1(b)(1)(iii)(b), and shall cause IMA to terminate
solely for U.S. federal income Tax purposes pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of
the Code. Since the Sellers purchased their Partnership Interests in IMA, there
has not been any sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of any interest
in IMA, nor has there been any distribution by IMA of any assets other than
cash.

                  (c) CAMP and each of the Companies has withheld and paid all
Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or
owing by it to each employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder,
partner or other third party.

                  (d) Neither CAMP nor any Company nor any director or officer
(or employee responsible for Tax matters) of either CAMP or any Company expects
or has reason to expect any Tax Authority to assess any additional Taxes for any
period for which Tax Returns have been filed. There is no dispute or claim
concerning any Tax Liability of CAMP or any Company either (i) claimed or raised
by any Tax Authority in writing or (ii) as to which any Seller Entity or any
director or officer (or employee responsible for Tax matters) of CAMP or any
Company has knowledge. Part (d) of Schedule 3.15 lists all U.S. federal, state,
local and foreign income Tax Returns filed with respect to CAMP or any of the
Companies for taxable periods ended after December 31, 1992, and indicates those
Tax Returns that have been audited or are currently the subject of an audit. The
Seller Entities have delivered to the Buyer correct and complete copies of all
federal Tax Returns,



                                       16
<PAGE>   18

examination reports and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to
by CAMP or any Company for any period subsequent to December 31, 1992.

                  (e) Neither CAMP nor any Company has waived any statute of
limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect
to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

                  (f) Neither CAMP nor any Company has filed a consent under
Code Section 341(f) concerning collapsible corporations. Neither CAMP nor any
Company has made any payments, is obligated to make any payments, or is a party
to any agreement that under certain circumstances could obligate it to make any
payments that will not be deductible under Code Section 280G. Neither CAMP nor
any Company has been a United States real property holding corporation within
the meaning of Code Section 897(c)(2) during the applicable period specified in
Code Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii). CAMP and each Company has disclosed on its
federal Tax Returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to a
substantial understatement of federal income Tax within the meaning of Code
Section 6662. Neither CAMP nor any Company is a party to any Tax allocation or
sharing agreement. Neither CAMP nor any Company (i) has ever been a member of an
affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return (other than a
group that consisted of only the Companies or CAMP) or (ii) has any Liability
for the Taxes of any other individual, corporation, partnership or other entity
(other than any of the Companies or CAMP) under Treasury Regulation Section
1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law) as a
transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.

                  (g) Part (g) of Schedule 3.15 sets forth the following
information with respect to each Company and CAMP as of the most recent
practicable date: (i) the basis of each Company and CAMP in its assets; (ii) the
basis of each of the Sellers in its Interests, and of each of the Companies in
its subsidiary's stock or partnership interests (or the amount of any excess
loss account); (iii) the amount of any net operating loss, net capital loss,
unused investment or other credit, unused foreign tax, or excess charitable
contribution allocable to any such party; and (iv) the amount of any deferred
gain or loss allocable to each party arising out of any deferred intercompany
transaction.

                  (h) The unpaid Taxes of CAMP and the Companies (i) did not, as
of April 30, 1998, exceed the reserve for Tax liabilities (rather than any
reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between
book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the most recent balance sheet
(rather than in any notes thereto) included in the Financial Statements and (ii)
do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the
Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of CAMP and the
Companies in filing their Tax Returns.

         Schedule 3.16 sets forth a correct and complete list of all Permits of

applicable, is in compliance in all respects with such Permits and all
applicable Governmental Rules required to be complied with in order to allow it
to continue to carry on the Businesses and use its assets as now being conducted
and used by it. No Seller Entity has received any written notification of any

Rules nor are any of them aware of any failure or asserted failure to comply
with any such Permits or Governmental Rules.

determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to such
qualification and with respect to the exemption from tax of the trusts created
thereunder under Section 501(a) of the Code, or will within the appropriate
remedial amendment period under Section 401(b) of the Code, apply for such
letter, and nothing has occurred that has affected or is likely to affect
adversely such qualification or exemption since the date of any such letter with
respect to each Plan.

                  (k) All material reports and other information required under
ERISA or any other applicable law or regulation to be filed in respect of any
Plan by the administrator thereof or by any of the Companies or any ERISA
Affiliate on or prior to the date hereof with the relevant governmental

available in accordance with ERISA or such other applicable law or regulation,
as the case may be, and all such reports and other information are true and
complete in all material respects as of the date given.

                  (l) Neither CAMP nor any of the Companies has entered into any
agreement, written or otherwise, relating to any Plan providing medical benefits
obligating CAMP or any of the Companies or its successor in interest to make any
supplemental or retrospective premium payments for the current or any prior
contract period in the event of adverse experience, termination of the minimum
premium arrangement or termination of an insurance contract relating to such

                  (m) There are no claims, lawsuits, arbitrations or other
actions pending or threatened against any of the Companies or any ERISA
Affiliate or any administrator, trustee or other fiduciary of any Plan listed on
Schedule 3.18 with respect to any Plan listed on Schedule 3.18.
No prohibited transaction has occurred under any such Plan.

                  (n) No Plan listed on Schedule 3.18 is under audit or
investigation by the Internal Revenue Service or the U.S. Department of Labor or
any other governmental body, and no completed audit or investigation, if any,

Environmental Law, including, without limitation, any Environmental Law
referring or relating to Hazardous Substances relating to the Premises or any
facilities, operations or activities conducted thereon or any business conducted
by any Company or any of its predecessors.

                  (c) No Lien has been imposed or asserted on any assets of any
Seller Entity by any Governmental Body or other person in connection with any
Environmental Law or Environmental Condition.

                  (d) CAMP and each Company (i) has all Permits required

                  (g) The Businesses have been operated in compliance with all

threatened, litigations or proceedings before any Governmental Body in which any
person or entity alleges the violation of any Governmental Rule regarding noise

activities of the Businesses with respect to such matter.

         Section 3.20 Insurance.

         CAMP and each Company has reasonably adequate insurance coverage for
its assets and the operations of the Businesses owned or operated by it. Set

insured or have been insured for the past five years and a brief description of
each such policy, including, without limitation, the identification of the
insured, the amount and purpose of the insurance and the amount of the
deductible. True and complete copies of all such policies have been delivered or
made available to the Buyer. All of such policies are in full force and effect;
all premiums due and payable in respect of such policies have been paid in full;
and there exists no default or other circumstance which would create the
substantial likelihood of the cancellation or non-renewal of any such policy.
The Seller Entities have notified such insurers of any claim known to them which
they believe is covered by any such insurance policy and have delivered to the
Buyer a copy of any such claim.

         Section 3.21 Accounts Receivable.

         All accounts receivable of CAMP and the Companies arose from bona fide

<PAGE>   26

         Section 3.24 Absence of Certain Business Practices.

         All tickets sold in connection with the operation of the Businesses are
sold in conformity with all venue agreements, all talent agreements and industry
practice, and are sold in compliance with all Governmental Rules and solely
through nationally recognized ticket outlets or the Business itself, and not to
or through ticket brokers or scalpers, and no Seller Entity authorizes, or is
aware of, the withholding of any tickets from public on-sale availability for
the purpose of making such tickets available to ticket brokers or scalpers. The
Businesses and the Companies have established, and are in compliance with,
policies and procedures to ensure the foregoing.

         Section 3.25 Certain Payments.

         No Seller Entity, nor any director, officer, agent, partner or employee
thereof or any other person associated with or acting for or on behalf of such
Seller Entity has directly or indirectly (a) made or agreed to make any
contribution, gift, bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other
payment (whether in cash or otherwise) to any person, private or public,
regardless of form, whether in money, property, or services, in violation of any
applicable law, rule or regulation (i) to obtain favorable treatment in securing
business, (ii) to pay for favorable treatment for business secured, (iii) to
obtain special concessions or for special concessions already obtained, for or
in respect of any Seller Entity or (iv) to pay for any lobbying or similar
services or (b) established or maintained any fund or asset that has not been
recorded in the books and records of such Seller Entity.

Agreement and no statement contained in any Document (including, without
limitation, the schedules hereto and thereto), certificate, or other writing to
be executed and delivered by any of the Seller Entities or Eric/Chandler
pursuant to the provisions hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby,
contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact, or omits or will
omit to state any material fact necessary in light of the circumstances under
which it was made, in order to make the statements herein or therein not
misleading.

         Section 3.27 Irvine Meadows.

         Without limiting any other representations or warranties contained in
Article III:

                  (a) Based upon the advice of Hennigan, Mercer and Bennett, Los
Angeles, California, the Seller Entities do not believe that the Amended and
Restated Agreement Re Ground Lease, dated October 1, 1991 between The Irvine
Company and IMA, is in force or effect or that the indemnification obligations
of the parties thereto are enforceable. That certain Ground Lease dated as of
March 1, 1997 between The Irvine Company and IMA (the "Ground Lease"), is in
full force



                                       25
<PAGE>   27

and effect and has not been modified or amended by either party thereto (except
for the modifications contained in the consent of the Irvine Company delivered
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby). Neither party is in
default under such agreement.

                  (b) Except for the litigation described under the subheading
"Irvine Meadows Amphitheater" on pages 2 and 3 on Schedule 3.09, there is no
pending or threatened litigation or other challenge to the validity of the
Ground Lease or to the tenant's estate and rights thereunder. Based upon the
advice of Hennigan, Mercer and Bennett, Los Angeles, California, the Seller
Entities do not believe that the claims and challenges of Lion Country Safari
are likely to result in the demolition of the Irvine Meadows amphitheater or are
meritorious.

                  (c) Except as disclosed in part (p) of Schedule 3.08 and part
(o) of Schedule 3.14, the Irvine Meadows amphitheater and related improvements
have not been damaged in any material respect by fire or, to any Seller Entity's
knowledge, earthquake, or other casualty and neither such improvements nor their
site is the subject of any pending or, to the knowledge of any Seller Entity,
threatened condemnation or similar proceeding.

                  (d) Except as disclosed in part (p) of Schedule 3.08 and part
(o) of Schedule 3.14, the Irvine Meadows amphitheater, related improvements,
parking facilities, and roadways comply in all material respects with all
relevant zoning, subdivision, land use, environmental, seismic, building code
and similar Governmental Rules (after giving effect to any "grandfathering" or
similar provision of any Governmental Rule which as applied to the Irvine
Meadows Amphitheater would require different compliance than for any structure
currently under construction). No notices of violations of any nature have been
issued or threatened.

                  (e) The Sellers have delivered to the Buyer true and complete
copies of all plans and specifications, engineering reports, studies and
consultant's reports, and made available all correspondence files and other
relevant information in its possession concerning the physical aspects and the
operation of the Irvine Meadows amphitheater.

                  (f) Except for the consent of The Irvine Company, as lessor
under the Ground Lease, no third-party consent (from any Governmental Body or
any other Person, other than such consents previously received by the Sellers
and which remain in full force and effect) is required in connection with the
transfer of ownership and control of IMA (and its material assets, including
without limitation, the Irvine Meadows amphitheater) to the Buyer (or an
Affiliate of the Buyer) as contemplated by this Agreement. All costs and
expenses payable to The Irvine Company associated with such consent shall be
paid by the Sellers.

                  (g) Conditional Use Permit 80 CP 0358 (i) is in full force and
effect, (ii) has not been modified and (iii) does not materially affect or limit
the use or operation of the Irvine Meadows



                                       26
<PAGE>   28

amphitheater as the same has been historically used and operated. No Seller
Entity has any reason to believe that there will be any material change in the
manner in which said Permit is enforced. All of the terms set forth in said
Permit have been materially complied with and are currently being materially
complied with and no Seller Entity has received a notice of default thereunder.

                  (h) The operation of El Toro Marine Base, as currently and
historically operated, has not materially and adversely affected the operation
of the Irvine Meadows amphitheater, as currently and historically operated, and
none of the Seller Entities has any knowledge of any change or proposed change
in the operation of El Toro Marine Base that is reasonably likely to materially
and adversely affect the use and operation of the Irvine Meadows amphitheater in
the manner in which it is intended to be operated. Other than speculation in
news reports that El Toro Marine Base may be converted to residential or civil
aviation use, the Seller Entities have no knowledge of any future non-military
use of El Toro Marine Base.

                  (i) Wild Rivers, a California general partnership, will
approve the form of reciprocal easement agreement regarding parking, ingress,
egress and drainage at the Irvine Meadows amphitheater, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit C as required in connection with the City of Irvine's
approval of the subdivision maps with respect thereto, and the Sellers have no
reason to believe Wild Rivers will not approve the form of reciprocal easement
agreement. Said reciprocal easement shall be submitted to the City of Irvine as
soon as practicable and the Sellers have no reason to believe that approval
thereof will not be granted without material changes thereto.

         Section 3.28 Camarillo Amphitheater Project.

         Without limiting any other representations or warranties contained in
Article III:

                  (a) The Camarillo Amphitheater Option Agreement (the "Option
Agreement"), dated as of May 21, 1996, between the County of Ventura and
Camarillo Amphitheater Managing Partners, Inc. ("CAMP"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of West Coast Amphitheater Corp., is in full force and effect and,
except as disclosed on Schedule 3.11, has not been amended, modified,
transferred or assigned by either party thereto. Neither party is in default
under the Option Agreement nor does any condition exist which, with the giving
of notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder,
except as set forth in Paragraph 1 of the Camarillo Amphitheater Option
Agreement Extension, dated March 17, 1998. The County of Ventura has not
notified any Seller Entity or CAMP that it intends to nor, to the knowledge of
the Seller Entities and CAMP, has the County of Ventura threatened to terminate
or cancel the Option Agreement. The form of concession agreement attached to the
Option Agreement (the "Concession Agreement") has not been modified, and CAMP's
right under the Option Agreement to enter into the Concession Agreement and to
develop, own and operate the Project (as hereinafter defined) has not been



                                       27
<PAGE>   29

challenged by pending or threatened government action or litigation or, except
as disclosed under the subheading "Camarillo Amphitheater" on Schedule 3.09, by
similar actions of private parties.

                  (b) The development and construction of the Amphitheater (the
"Project"), as contemplated by the Option Agreement and the Concession
Agreement, and as described in (i) the plans and specifications therefor
prepared by Gin Wong Associates and dated January 12, 1998, February 26, 1998
and April 23, 1998 and (ii) the Construction Budget, can be substantially
completed as proposed in, and in accordance with, such plans and specifications
and Budget and for the amounts currently set forth in the Construction Budget,
except as disclosed on the final page of the Construction Budget with respect to
assets to be leased. Upon the Closing, the Buyer will be the beneficial owner of
the plans and specifications therefor prepared by Gin Wong Associates.

                  (c) The plans and specifications for the Project (other than
the redesign of the entrance to the Project to respond to the "wetlands" issue)
have been submitted for approval to the County of Ventura and no Seller Entity
has any reason to believe that such plans and specifications will not be
approved without material changes thereto.

                  (d) The Project, as described in the plans and specifications
therefor, complies in all material respects with all applicable municipal and
regional zoning, subdivision and land use requirements, except that a portion of
the Project site consists of "wetlands" under federal and state Governmental
Rules.

                  (e) Although a portion of the Project site consists of
"wetlands" under federal and state Governmental Rules, based on advice from the
Sellers' land use consultant, the Sellers have no reason to believe that
approval of the Project by the United States Army Corps of Engineers is required
in view of the minimal effect of the Project on such wetlands.

                  (f) The letters, dated March 19, 1998 and March 24, 1998,
respectively, between the United States Department of the Interior and the
County of Ventura, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits D-1 and D-2,
are the only correspondence known to the Seller Entities with the United States
Department of the Interior and relating to the Project. No Seller Entity has any
reason to believe that the United States Department of the Interior intends to
take any action which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
Project, the development thereof in accordance with the plans and specifications
therefor or the change in control of CAMP to the Buyer or an Affiliate of the
Buyer.

                  (g) All required environmental impact reports for the Project
have been duly submitted and approved and, except as disclosed on Schedule 3.09,
are not currently subject to pending or threatened litigation or other
challenges by any Governmental Body or private parties.



                                       28
<PAGE>   30

                  (h) Intentionally Omitted.

                  (i) The Sellers have delivered to the Buyer true and complete
copies of all plans and specifications, studies, consultants' reports and
feasibility analyses and made available all correspondence files and similar
materials and information in their possession or control relating to the
Project.

                  (j) Except for the consent of Ventura County, no third-party
consent (from any Governmental Body or other Person) is required in connection
with the transfer of ownership and control of CAMP to the Buyer or any Affiliate
of the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (k) CAMP may exercise the Option Agreement at any time upon
executing the Concession Agreement, notwithstanding that certain ministerial or
non-material changes thereto may be requested or required.

                  (l) The Sellers have requested the approval of the County of
Ventura to the change in control of CAMP to Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer, have
requested such to be placed on the agenda of the May 12, 1998 meeting of the
Board of Supervisors of the County of Ventura, and have no reason to believe
that the approval of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Ventura to such
change in control will not be granted at such meeting and, in any event, in the
form presented, without conditions.

                                   ARTICLE IV

standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly licensed or
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in
each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the
character of the property owned or leased by it makes such licensing or

         Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and all of the
other Documents to which the Buyer is or will be a party nor the consummation of

                      PRE-CLOSING COVENANTS OF THE SELLERS

         Each of the Sellers, jointly and severally, agrees that, subsequent to
the date hereof and until the Closing:

         Except as otherwise consented to or approved by the Buyer in writing
and except as otherwise agreed to herein,

                  (a) Each of the Sellers shall, and shall cause each Company,
CAMP and Eric/Chandler to:

                           (i) operate the assets of CAMP, the Companies and the
         Businesses and the E/C Assets in the ordinary course and consistent
         with prior practice and use best efforts to (A) preserve the present
         business organization of CAMP and each of the Companies intact, (B)

                      ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

         Section 9.01 Tax Matters.

                  (a) From and after the Closing, each of the Sellers, on the
one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each
other and make available or cause to be made available to each other for
consultation, inspection and copying (at such other party's expense) in a timely
fashion such personnel, tax data, Tax Returns and filings, files, books,
records, documents, financial, technical and operating data, computer records
and other information as may be reasonably required (i) for the preparation by
any of them of any Tax Returns, elections, consents or certificates required to
be prepared and filed by such parties or any of the Companies (which, for
purposes of this Section, shall include CAMP) or (ii) in connection with any
audit or proceeding relating to Taxes relating to the assets of the Companies or
the Businesses. The Buyer agrees (A) to retain all books and records with
respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies relating to any taxable period
beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of
limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Sellers, any extensions
thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention
agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other
party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding
any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Buyer shall
allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

                  (b) The Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared all
sales, use or other transfer tax returns required to be filed with any taxing
authority relating to the transfer of the Interests to the Buyer (collectively,
"Transfer Tax Returns"), as well as all income Tax Returns of the Companies
covering the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and all other
(non-income) Tax Returns of the Companies covering any taxable period (or
portion thereof) preceding the Closing Date. In the case of the Transfer Tax
Returns and all other Tax Returns described in the preceding sentence, at least
25 days prior to the due date thereof (including extensions), the Sellers shall
provide a copy of such Tax Returns of the Companies, in the form proposed to be
filed, to Buyer for its good faith review and approval. The Buyer shall provide
the Sellers with any comments it has on such Tax Returns at least 10 days prior
to the due date thereof and, if no comments are provided to the Sellers within
such period, shall be deemed to have approved such Tax Returns. IMA shall make a
valid election under sections 743 and 754 of the Code (and any corresponding
provisions of state and local Tax law as the Buyer requests) on its income Tax
Return for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date. The partners of IMA
shall report the Tax consequences of the sale of the Partnership Interests
consistently with all allocations and Tax basis adjustments of the Purchase
Price made by the Buyer with respect to the purchase of IMA.

<PAGE>   45

                  (c) None of the parties hereto shall cause an election to be
made, an accounting method for Tax purposes to be adopted, or a position to be
taken on any Tax Return, or in any Tax Proceeding, other than an election under
sections 743 and 754 of the Code described in (b) above, that is inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing and not in
limitation thereof, the Sellers shall not, and shall use their best efforts to
cause the Companies to not, without the written consent of the Buyer, cause any
election to be made, or any accounting method to be adopted or any position to
be taken with respect to the assets of the Companies in any Tax Return that has
not yet been filed or in any Tax Proceeding if such election, method or position
is inconsistent with any election, accounting method or position previously
adopted, taken or elected by any Subsidiary or is inconsistent with any
representation herein or covenant hereunder.

                  (d) From and after the Closing, the Sellers shall pay and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer from and against, any and all Taxes
levied by any foreign, federal, state or local Taxing Authority with respect to
the ownership or use of the assets of the Companies or the conduct of the
Businesses on or prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any
and all of any such Seller Entity's Tax liabilities, whether a direct liability
or a joint and several liability imposed pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section
1.1502-6 or any comparable provision under foreign, state or local laws by
reason of any Seller Entity having been a member of any consolidated, combined,
unitary or similar group at any time, and the Buyer shall pay, and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers from and against, any and all such Taxes
with respect to the ownership or use of such assets or the conduct of the
Businesses after the Closing Date. The Sellers shall be entitled to retain or
the Buyer shall pay TBA all refunds of Taxes (whether in the form of payment,
credit or otherwise) from any Taxing Authority to the extent that such refunds
are attributable to the Taxes with respect to the ownership or use of the assets
or the conduct of the Businesses on or prior to the Closing Date. The
indemnification agreements of the Sellers on the one hand, and the Buyer on the
other hand, pursuant to this Section 9.01(d) shall not be subject to Section
11.04 of this Agreement.

                  (e) The Buyer will file a consolidated federal income Tax
return which will include the operations of the Companies or the conduct of the
Businesses after the Closing Date.

                  (f) The Buyer and the Sellers further agree, upon request, to
use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other documents from any
Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary, at no material cost
to the Sellers, to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed
(including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby).

                  (g) The Buyer and the Sellers further agree, upon request, to
provide the other party with all information that either party may be required
to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code and all Treasury Department
Regulations promulgated thereunder.



                                       44
<PAGE>   46

                  (h) All tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with
respect to or involving the Companies shall be terminated as of the Closing Date
and, after the Closing Date, the Companies shall not be bound thereby or have
any liability thereunder.

                  (i) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration
and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in
connection with this Agreement, shall be paid by the Sellers when due, and the
Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns in accordance
with Section 9.01(b) and shall deliver copies of all tax Returns and other
documentation filed with respect thereto to the Buyer promptly after filing.

                  (j) Intentionally Omitted.

                  (k) The partners of IMA shall report, for U.S. federal income
Tax purposes, 100% in the aggregate of all taxable income, gain, loss and
deductions of IMA for the taxable year of IMA ending on the Closing Date.

                  (l) As of the close of the day immediately preceding the
Closing Date, IMA shall have no liability for unpaid Taxes, other than Taxes (if
any) of IMA that have accrued as of such date in the ordinary course of the
Business but are not yet due and payable.

         Section 9.02 Bulk Transfer Laws.

         The Buyer hereby waives compliance by the Sellers with the provisions
of any so-called bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the
sale and transfer of the Interests to the Buyer. Each of the Sellers agrees,
jointly and severally, to indemnify the Buyer against any and all losses, costs,
expenses, liabilities or damages which may be asserted by third parties against
the Buyer as a result of non-compliance with any such bulk transfer laws. The
agreement to indemnify the Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall not be
subject to Section 11.04 of this Agreement.

         Section 9.03 [Intentionally Omitted.]

         Section 9.04 Restrictive Covenants.

                  (a) For the two-year period commencing on the Closing Date,
without the prior written consent of the Buyer, the Sellers shall not, directly
or indirectly, as a director, officer, agent, employee, consultant, or
independent contractor, or in any other individual or representative capacity
(i) develop, construct, operate or manage venues within the greater Los Angeles,
California area which shall include, but not be limited to, Los Angeles, Ventura
and Santa Barbara Counties, (ii) engage in the production or promotion of "at
risk" music or concert productions or promotions in the greater Los Angeles,
California area which is inconsistent with past practice and in any event



                                       45
<PAGE>   47

which generate gross revenues which exceed $10,000,000, or (iii) develop,
construct, operate or manage a venue in Portland, Oregon.

                  (b) It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto
that if in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce
this Section 9.04, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section
9.04 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such
term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be construed so as thereafter to be
limited or reduced to make it enforceable by such court or agency under
applicable law, it being understood that the parties hereto regard such
restrictions as reasonable and compatible with their respective rights.

                  (c) Without limiting the right of the Buyer to pursue all
other remedies available for a violation of this Section 9.04, it is agreed
that, because of the unique nature of each Seller's services and in view of the
nature of the Businesses, each Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened
breach by him of this Section 9.04 will cause the Buyer irreparable damage and
incalculable harm and, accordingly, the Buyer shall be entitled to seek
preliminary and permanent injunctive and other relief to prevent a violation or
continuing violation hereof, without the necessity of proving damages or the
posting of a bond.

         Section 9.05 Non-Solicitation.

         For the two-year period commencing on the Closing Date, no Seller nor
any Affiliate of any Seller shall, on his or its own behalf or on behalf of any
other person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity, (i)
persuade or attempt to persuade any person providing goods or services to the
Buyer, CAMP or any Company not to do business with the Buyer, CAMP or such
Company or to reduce the amount of business it does with the Buyer, CAMP or such
Company; (ii) persuade or attempt to persuade any performer, act or customer not
to do business with the Buyer, CAMP or any Company or to reduce the amount of
business it does with the Buyer, CAMP or such Company; (iii) dissuade or attempt
to dissuade any individual who was a director, officer or employee of CAMP or a
Company prior to the date hereof from hereafter becoming a director, officer or
employee of the Buyer or (iv) hire or solicit any employee of any Company, or
any Affiliate thereof listed on Schedule 9.05 (an "Employee") or in any manner,
directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or attempt to persuade or influence any
Employee to leave the employment of a Company or such Affiliate thereof;
provided, however, nothing in this Section 9.05 shall prevent a Seller from
hiring, or soliciting to hire, any Employee who is terminated by a Company, or
any Affiliate thereof, during such two-year period. The Buyer acknowledges that
employees of the Companies may voluntarily terminate their employment prior to
the Closing Date.

<PAGE>   48

         Section 9.06 No-Shop.

         From the date hereof until the Closing, the Sellers covenant and agree
that no Seller shall, and the Sellers shall use their best efforts to cause the
Companies and CAMP not to, authorize or permit any Affiliate, officer, director,
shareholder or employee of, or any investment banker, attorney, accountant or
other representative retained by, any Seller or Company to make, solicit,
initiate, encourage or respond to a submission of a proposal or offer from any
person or entity (other than the Buyer) relating to the liquidation,
dissolution, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, acquisition or purchase of
all or a material portion of the assets of any Company or of CAMP, the E/C
Assets, or the outstanding equity interests of any Company, of CAMP or of
Eric/Chandler or other similar transaction or business combination involving any
Company and CAMP (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Third Party
Offer"). The Sellers will, and will cause the Companies, CAMP and Eric/Chandler
to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any contracts or negotiations
currently pending with respect to Third Party Offers, if any.

         Section 9.07 [Intentionally Omitted.]

         Section 9.08 [Intentionally Omitted.]

         Section 9.09 Subdivision.

         From and after the Closing, the Sellers will continue the process of
filing subdivision maps with respect to Irvine Meadows amphitheater and
obtaining the reciprocal easement agreement relating thereto or, at the Buyer's
option, will assist the Buyer in filing such maps and obtaining the reciprocal
easement agreement relating thereto. All costs and expenses arising out of
filing such maps and obtaining the reciprocal easement agreement relating
thereto, including, without limitation, those costs and expenses associated with
the reciprocal easement required by the City of Irvine or with amending the
Ground Lease in connection therewith, if necessary, will be paid by the Sellers
and the 49% Sellers.



                                       47
<PAGE>   49

         Section 9.10 License of Office Space.

         Notwithstanding any provisions hereof to the contrary, the Buyer agrees
that the Sellers may continue to occupy up to 1,500 square feet of space (the
"Hold-over Premises") under that certain lease dated June 12, 1995, between New
Avalon Inc., as tenant, and R&D Building Company, as landlord (as described on
Schedule 3.08 attached hereto), for a period not to exceed 30 days after the
Closing. The Sellers shall be obligated to pay for all utilities (including,
without limitation, telephone bills) but shall not be obligated to pay rent.
Except as set forth in the prior sentence, the Sellers, jointly and severally,
shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all costs, expenses, claims
or liabilities arising out of Seller's use of the Hold-over Premises. The
foregoing indemnity shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section
11.04(a). The Sellers acknowledge and agree that its vacating the Hold-over
Premises is an essential term of this Agreement and if the Sellers breach such
obligation, the Buyer will suffer substantial damages and shall have available
all rights and remedies at law or equity.

         Section 9.11 Expenses of the Transaction.

         Except as otherwise set forth herein, each of the parties hereto agrees
to pay its own fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby. The Sellers hereby covenant and agree that
they will not pay their expenses incurred in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, attorneys' and auditors'
fees and expenses) prior to the Closing Date and that subsequent thereto, they
shall use the Purchase Price to pay such expenses.

                  (a) by mutual consent of the parties hereto;

                  (b) by the Buyer, if there has been a material violation or
breach by any of the Sellers of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement or any failed condition to the obligations
of the Buyer under Article VII hereof and such breach, violation or failed
condition is not cured within a reasonable period, not to exceed 30 days, after

<PAGE>   50

                  (c) by any of the Sellers, if there has been a material
violation or breach by the Buyer of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement or any failed condition to the obligations
of the Sellers under Article VIII hereof and such breach, violation or failed
condition is not cured within a reasonable period, not to exceed 30 days, after
written notice thereof is given;

                  (d) by the Buyer or by the Sellers acting together, if the
Acquisition shall not have been consummated within 10 business days after the
date on which all consents of Governmental Bodies required to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been received (unless (i)
the failure to consummate the Acquisition by such date shall be (A) due to the
action or failure to act of the party or parties seeking to terminate this
Agreement or (B) in any way attributable to the fault of any party seeking to
terminate this Agreement, which fault, for purposes hereof, shall include,
without limitation, the making by any Seller in this Agreement or the Letter
Agreement of any material misrepresentation and the failure by any Seller to
make in this Agreement or the Letter Agreement any statement necessary to make
the statements contained herein or therein not misleading, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made or (ii) the conditions to the obligations
of the non-terminating party or parties shall not have been satisfied by such
date) and the non-terminating party refuses to close within 30 days of the
terminating party's notice of termination; provided, however, that if the
non-breaching party shall have given the appropriate notice under Article XI
hereof prior to any such termination, then the indemnification provisions set
forth in Article XI hereof shall survive any such termination of this Agreement
as to any party who shall be in breach of this Agreement as at such date or at
any earlier date of the termination of this Agreement pursuant hereto, unless
the survival of such provisions is specifically waived by the non-breaching
party or parties hereto; or

                  (e) by any party, if (i) the conditions to obligations of such
party or any other party shall have become impossible to satisfy, other than as
a result of its own acts or omissions in violation of its obligations hereunder
or (ii) any permanent injunction or other order of a court or other competent
authority preventing the consummation of the Acquisition shall have become final
and nonappealable.

         Section 10.02 Effect of Termination.

         If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof,
this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any
liability on the part of any party hereto or its Affiliates, directors, officers
or stockholders, other than the provisions of Article XI and Sections 12.07 and
12.08 hereof; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 10.02
shall be deemed to constitute a release or waiver by any party of any claim at
law or in equity against another



                                       49

party hereto based on any breach of such party's representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements contained herein.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 11.01 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

         All representations and warranties made hereby by the parties to this
Agreement, unless waived in writing and notwithstanding any examination by or on
behalf of any party hereto and the consummation of the transactions hereby
contemplated, shall survive for a period of two years after the Closing;
provided, however, that the representations and warranties made in Sections
3.15, 3.17, 3.18, 3.19 and 9.01 hereto shall survive for the statute of
limitations applicable thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
representation or warranty hereof shall survive the time at which it would
otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence, if notice of the
inaccuracy or breach thereof or the claim thereunder shall have been given to
the party from whom indemnity may be sought in respect thereof prior to the
expiration of the applicable survival period therefor. All covenants and
agreements made hereby by the parties to this Agreement shall, unless waived in
writing, survive the Closing.

         Section 11.02 By the Sellers.

         Each of the Sellers, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Buyer and its directors, officers, employees and agents (the
"Buyer Parties") against, and to reimburse the Buyer Parties on demand with
respect to, any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, suits, proceedings,
demands, judgments, damages, claims, expenses and costs (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel)
(collectively, "Losses") which each may suffer, incur or pay, by reason of (i)
the breach by any Seller of any representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement or in any other Document executed by a Seller and delivered to a Buyer
Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) the failure of any
Seller to perform any agreement required hereby or by any other Document.

         Section 11.03 By the Buyer.

         The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the "Seller Parties")
against, and to reimburse the Seller Parties on demand with respect to, any and
all Losses which each may suffer, incur or pay by reason of (i) the breach by
the Buyer of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in
any other Document executed by the Buyer and delivered to the Sellers pursuant
to the provisions of this



                                       50
<PAGE>   52

Agreement, (ii) the failure of the Buyer to perform any agreement required
hereby or any agreement executed pursuant to the provisions hereof, or (iii)
claims and liabilities of the Companies disclosed in the Financial Statements or
on the Schedules hereto or with respect to the ownership and operation of the
Companies on or after the Closing Date, subject to (A) any right to
indemnification to which the Buyer is entitled with respect thereto hereunder
and (B) any and all other rights of the Buyer hereunder.

         Section 11.04 Limitations on Indemnification.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided herein neither the Buyer
Parties, on the one hand, nor the Seller Parties, on the other hand, shall be
entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.02 or Section 11.03 hereof
unless and until the aggregate of all Losses incurred by the Buyer Parties or
the Seller Parties, as the case may be, exceeds $50,000 and, upon exceeding such
amount, the Buyer Parties or the Seller Parties shall be entitled to be
indemnified for all Losses in excess of such $50,000 threshold on a dollar for
dollar basis.

                  (b) The Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for all
obligations of the Seller under Section 10.02.

         Section 11.05 Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims.

         Promptly, and in any event within 30 days after the receipt by any
party hereto of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or
proceeding by a third party, such party will, if a claim with respect thereto is
to be made against any party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the
"Indemnifying Party"), give such Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim
or the commencement of such action or proceeding, but any failure to timely
notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder except to the extent it was actually prejudiced thereby.
Upon unconditional and unqualified written acknowledgment of the Indemnified
Party's entitlement to indemnification therefor and if the Indemnifying Party
has sufficient resources to pay any final judgment, such Indemnifying Party
shall have the right, at its option, to settle, compromise or defend, at its own
expense and with its own counsel, any such claim, action or proceeding involving
the asserted liability of the party seeking such indemnification (the
"Indemnified Party"), provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle,
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened
claim, action or proceeding except with the consent of the Indemnified Party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the
Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim, action or
proceeding within 30 days of receipt of notice of such claim, action or
proceeding, or if at any time the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend in
good faith any such claim, action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party may
assume the defense thereof and may employ counsel with respect thereto and all
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, and
the Indemnified Party may conduct and



                                       51
<PAGE>   53

defend such claim, action or proceeding in such manner as it may deem
appropriate, subject, however, to the last sentence of this Section 11.05. If
any Indemnifying Party undertakes to compromise, settle or defend any such
asserted liability, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its
intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the
Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any
such asserted liability. The Indemnified Party may appoint, at its own expense,
associate counsel to participate in the joint defense of any such matter with
respect to which the Indemnifying Party has undertaken the defense, and the
Indemnifying Party may appoint, at its own expense, associate counsel to
participate in the joint defense of any such matter which the Indemnified Party
is defending. No Indemnified Party shall settle, compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding
except with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).

         Section 12.01 Further Assurances.

         Each of the parties agrees and covenants promptly to execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to each of the other parties
such documents or instruments, in addition to those expressly required by the
Agreement to be executed and delivered, as any of the other parties may
reasonably deem necessary or desirable to carry out or implement any provision
of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the
foregoing and not in limitation thereof, each of the Sellers hereby constitutes
and appoints the Buyer as its true and lawful attorney, with full power of
substitution, in the name of the Sellers, Eric/Chandler and each of them, but
for the benefit of the Buyer, (a) to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right
or title of any kind in or to the Interests or the E/C Assets, to institute and
prosecute claims, actions, suits and proceedings which the Buyer may deem proper
in order to collect, assert or enforce any such claim, right or title, to defend
and compromise all claims, actions, suits and proceedings in respect of any such
Interest or any E/C Asset and to do all acts and things in relation thereto as
the Buyer shall deem advisable and (b) to take all such action which the Buyer
may deem proper in order to provide for it the benefits of the Interests and the
E/C Assets, including, without limitation, where any required consent of a third
party to the assignment thereof to the Buyer shall not have been obtained. Each
of the Sellers acknowledges that such powers are coupled with an interest and
may not be revoked by it in any manner or for any reason.
