               Exculpation and Indemnification of Escrow Holder

      Jeffrey D. Segal, A Professional Corporation (the "Escrow Holder") shall
have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth in the
Financial Consulting Agreement dated October , 1999 (the "Agreement") attached
thereto, between Stan Lee Media, Inc. and VMR Capital Markets U.S. The Escrow
Holder shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person, other than
the Escrow Holder, to make any payment or delivery, or to direct or enforce any
obligation of any person to perform any other act. The Escrow Holder shall be
under no liability to anyone by reason of any failure on the part of any party
hereto or any maker, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other
person to perform such person's obligations under any such document. Except for
the Agreement and any instructions to the Escrow Holder under the Agreement, the
Escrow Holder shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between any or
all of the persons referred to herein, notwithstanding its knowledge thereof.

      The Escrow Holder shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by
it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in
the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be
protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or
advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Holder), statement,
instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution
and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth
and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the
Escrow Holder to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person
or persons. The Escrow Holder shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any
waiver, modification, termination or rescission of the Agreement or any of the
terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Holder
signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow
Holder are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.

      The Escrow Holder shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy
of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any
document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of
signature or endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the
Escrow Holder be responsible or liable in any respect on account of the
identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or
purporting to execute or deliver any document or property of the Agreement. The
Escrow Holder shall not be liable for any loss that may be incurred by reason of
any investment of any monies that it holds hereunder which investment is
authorized by the Agreement pursuant to the provisions thereof.

      In the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or
persons, the Escrow Holder shall have the right to assume that a fact or an
event, by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow
Holder, does not exist or has not occurred without incurring liability for any
action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be

<PAGE>   8

Page 2

taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in
reliance upon such assumption.

      The Escrow Holder shall be indemnified and held harmless against any
liability for taxes and for any penalties or interest in respect of taxes, on
such investment income or payments in the manner provided below.

      The Escrow Holder shall be indemnified and held harmless by the parties to
the Agreement from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and
disbursements, or loss suffered by Escrow Holder in connection with any claim or
demand, which, in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to
the Agreement, the services of the Escrow Holder thereunder or any income earned
from investment of such monies; except, that if the Escrow Holder shall be found
guilty of willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence under the Agreement,
then, in that event, Escrow Holder shall bear all such losses, claims, damages
and expenses. Promptly after the receipt by Escrow Holder of notice of any
demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the
Escrow Holder shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any of
the other parties hereto, notify such other parties thereof in writing; but the
failure by Escrow Holder to give such notice shall not relieve any party from
any liability which such party may have to Escrow Holder hereunder. For the
purposes hereof, the terms "expense" and "loss" shall include all amounts paid
or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any
claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written
consent of the parties hereto, and all costs and expenses, including, but not
limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in
investigation or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit or
proceeding.

      If any legal action or proceeding is brought by any party to this
transaction, including but not limited to, the parties to the Agreement, the
Escrow Holder, or any other related or interested party, the Escrow Holder has
the absolute right, solely within its discretion, to interplead into any such
action. In such event, the Escrow Holder may, in its sole discretion, withhold
or stop all proceedings, and withhold any funds or documents pending the
resolution of the controversy. If no action has been filed, Escrow Holder in its
sole discretion, may file a suit in interpleader and obtain an order from the
court requiring the parties to interplead and litigate in such court their
several claims and rights amongst themselves. If any dispute arises, regardless
of whether or not suit is filed, Escrow Holder is ipso facto released and
discharged from all obligations to further perform any and all duties or
obligations imposed upon it in the Escrow Account pursuant to the Agreement. If
the Escrow Holder incurs any costs or fees in connection with any such dispute
or proceeding, the parties to the Agreement each agrees to fully indemnify the
Escrow Holder and reimburse it for any costs and expenses occasioned by such
controversy or litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees.<PAGE>   1

to the close of business on the date on which Borrower shall have received a
valid request to convert. If only a portion of this Debenture is converted,
Borrower shall deliver to the Holder a certificate for the proper number of
shares of Common Stock for the portion converted and a new Debenture in the form

      SECTION 2.02. Authorized Shares. Borrower covenants that during the period
the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance
of the Common Stock upon the conversion of this Debenture. Borrower agrees that
its issuance of this Debenture shall constitute full authority to its officers
who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and
issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion
of this Debenture and a new Debenture in the form hereof for the balance of the
principal amount hereof.

III.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT

      In case an event of default (defined as being the failure to pay the
principal and accrued interest as provided for in this Debenture) has occurred
and is continuing, all sums of principal and interest then remaining unpaid
hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder may be declared immediately due
and payable in the manner and in the effect and subject to the conditions
provided in this Debenture.

IV.   REGISTRATION

      Upon conversion, the Holder shall be entitled to piggyback registration
rights with respect to the Common Stock to be issued thereunder, as follows: If
the Borrower at any times proposes to file a registration statement under the
Act respecting any securities of the Borrower on a form appropriate for
registration of a sale of Common Stock (excluding registrations of shares of
Common Stock to be offered in connection with the Borrower's employee benefit
plans and registrations of securities to be offered by the Borrower in
connection with acquisitions, mergers or similar transactions), it will at such
time give written notice to Holder of its intention to do so. Upon the written
request of Holder given within 15 days after receipt of any such notice (which
request shall specify the Common Stock intended to be sold or disposed of by
Holder and describe the nature of any proposed sale or other disposition
thereof), the Borrower shall use its best efforts, but shall not be obligated,
to cause all such Common Stock specified in such request to be so registered. In
the event that any such registration shall be underwritten, if the underwriters
notify the Borrower in writing that the inclusion in such underwriting of such
Common Stock would materially and adversely affect the underwriting, the
Borrower shall have the right not to include such Common Stock. In any
registration pursuant to this Debenture, Holder shall pay the Borrower for the
incremental portion of the federal and state registration and filing fees
attributable to the Common Stock and shall pay all underwriting commissions,
discounts, underwriting expenses and taxes attributable to the Warrant Stock.

      The Borrower shall indemnify Holder and each underwriter of Common
Stock(and any person who controls such underwriter within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act) against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and
expenses resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in a prospectus or in any related registration
statement, notification or the like or from any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been
based upon information furnished in writing to the Borrower by Holder or such
underwriter expressly for use therein and

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

used in accordance with such writing.

      Holder shall furnish to the Borrower such information concerning Holder as
may be requested by the Borrower which is necessary in connection with any
registration or qualification of Common Stock, and to indemnify the Borrower,
its officers and directors and each underwriter of the Borrower's securities
(and any person who controls the Borrower or any such underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), against all claims, losses,
damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of material fact contained in a prospectus or any related
registration statement, notification or the like, or omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent the same
was derived from information furnished in writing to the Borrower by Holder
expressly for use therein and used in accordance with such writing.

      If any action is brought or any claim is made against any persons
indemnified pursuant to this Section in respect of which indemnity may be sought
against the indemnitor pursuant to this Section, such person shall promptly
notify the indemnitor in writing of the institution of such action or the making
of such claim and the indemnitor shall promptly notify the indemnitor in writing
of the institution of such action or the making of such claim and the indemnitor
shall assume the defense of such action or claim, including the employment of
counsel and payment of expenses. Such person shall have the right to employ his,
its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless the employment of such
counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnitor in connection
with the defense of such action or claim or the indemnitor shall not have
employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action or claim or such
indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
defenses available to him, it or them which are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnitor (in which the case the indemnitor shall have
the right to direct any different or additional defense of such action or claim
on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees
and expenses of not more than one additional counsel for the indemnified person
shall be borne by the indemnitor. Except as expressly provided above, in the
event that the indemnitor shall not previously have assumed the defense of any
such action or claim, at such time as the indemnitor does not assume the defense
of such action or claim, the indemnitor shall thereafter be liable to any person
indemnified pursuant to this Section for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such person in investigating, preparing or defending
against such action or claim. Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, the indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any
such claim or action effected without its written consent.

Holder shall refund to the Borrower or, at the Holder's option, credit against
the principal of this Debenture such portion of such interest as shall be
necessary to produce a rate equal to such a maximum nonusurious rate. All
consideration paid or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of
this indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be amortized, allocated and spread over
the term hereof, so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the full term
hereof.
