         performance of the Executive' s duties under this Agreement, or inhibit
         or conflict in any material way with the business of the Employer.

                  4.2. Business Opportunities. The Executive covenants and

         account, nor will he render any services to any other person or
         business or acquire any interest of any type in any other business,
         which is in competition with the Employer; provided, however, that the

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:

not intentionally disclose Confidential Information to anyone outside of the
Employer and its representatives other than in the course of performance of his

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

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

                  Agreement; or

                                    (b) the Executive engages in conduct that

                  Employer;

                                    (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,

                  all of the assets of the Employer within 15 days after a

                  14.2. Termination by the Employer for Cause. A termination for
         Cause shall not take effect unless all of the provisions of this
         Section 14.2 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 of 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.

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

                  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.

                        14.2.2. 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 13 and 17, which shall survive).

                  14.3. 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:

         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, then the Base Salary in effect immediately
         prior to such 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 (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) (i) in the event that such termination occurs
         during the initial five-year term of this Employment Agreement,
         immediately vested options to purchase shares of Class A Stock in an
         amount equal to 166,667 shares less the product of (i) 33,333 shares
         and (ii) the number of full years elapsed under the Term of this
         Employment Agreement at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest
         exercise price of any stock option granted by the Employer in the
         twelve months prior to termination;

                               (ii) in the event that such termination occurs
         after the initial five-year term of this Employment Agreement,
         immediately vested exercisable options to purchase 33,333 shares of
         Class A Stock at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest
         exercise price of any stock option granted by the Employer in the
         twelve months prior to termination;

                           (d) a Bonus for the unexpired Term, based on the
         Bonus received for the year prior to termination (the "Base Bonus
         Amount") multiplied by 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 (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

                           (e) all benefits provided in Section 9 hereof until

                  14.4. Termination of Employment Following a Change in Control.
         If, following a Change in Control, the Executive's employment is
         terminated for any reason other than for Cause, whether voluntary or
         involuntary or there is a Constructive Termination Without Cause, the
         Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits provided in
         Section 14.3 above, provided that the payments shall be paid in a lump
         sum without any discount. In addition, the Executive shall receive
         immediately vested 10 year options to purchase 166,667 shares of Class
         A Stock which shall be exercisable at the lowest exercise price of any
         other options that the Executive shall own as of the date of the Change
         in Control. The Executive shall forfeit any rights granted pursuant to
         this Section 14.4 if the Executive accepts 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).

                        14.4.1. 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
                  the 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 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 100% 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.

                  14.5. Voluntary Termination. In the event of a termination of
         employment by the Executive on his own initiative other than a
         termination due to death or disability or a Constructive Termination
         without Cause, the Executive shall have the same entitlements as
         provided in Section 14.2 above for a termination for Cause. A voluntary
         termination under this Section 14.5 shall be effective upon 30 days
         prior written notice to the Employer and shall not be deemed a breach
         of this Employment Agreement.

                  14.6. 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.

                  14.7. 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

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

         the Executive under this Employment Agreement on account of any
         remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that he may
         obtain.

                  14.8. Option Adjustment. The number of options issuable
         pursuant to this Section 14 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.

         15. Disability.

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

                  15.2. 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 Termination Date and, except as
         provided in Section 15.4, 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 15.2 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;

                  15.3. Unless the Employer exercises its option under Section
         15.4 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 13 and 17,
         which shall survive); and

                  15.4. 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.

         16. Death of Executive.

                  16.1. 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 16.2 through 16.3.

                  16.2. 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.
         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, and (c) immediately vested options to
         purchase 33,000 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.

                  16.3. The Base Salary and Bonus payable pursuant to this
         Section 16 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, other than such insurance identified in Section 11.

         17. Non-Competition.

                  17.1. 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 promoter, 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").

                  17.2. Subject to the following proviso, for a period of one
         year following the termination of the Executive's employment hereunder
         the Executive will not become employed by, or become an officer,
         director or general partner of, any partnership, corporation or other
         entity which is primarily engaged in the Prohibited Business; provided
         however, that during such one year period the Employer shall employ the
         Executive as a consultant with compensation at a rate equal to fifty
         percent of the Employer's Base Salary immediately prior to such
         termination. If the Employer elects not to employ the Executive as a
         consultant for such one year period as provided herein, the provisions
         of this Section 17.2 shall not apply and the Executive shall be free to
         engage in any activity referred to herein.

          Stock Options for at least 45,000 shares of Common Stock shall be
          granted in each of the calendar years comprising the Term of

          Stock Option shall have a ten-year term and shall vest and become
          exercisable on a schedule to be determined by the Board or the Stock
          Option Committee, but in no event shall the vesting schedule exceed
          the Term of Employment, nor shall the terms and conditions of such
          options (including those terms and conditions described above) be any
          less favorable than the terms and conditions applicable to options
          granted to the other Senior Executives of Employer. The Employee shall
          be permitted to use shares of Common Stock to exercise the Stock
          Options and to pay any withholding obligation upon such exercise. The
          Stock Options shall be granted as incentive stock options under the
          Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to the extent
          permitted under the Code.

               3.3.2 Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
          in the event that Employee ceases to be employed by Employer for any
          reason whatsoever (including upon death or permanent and total
          disability of Employee) other than as a result of a voluntary
          termination (that is not a Constructive Termination Event) or
          termination for Cause, (x) all restricted stock which may be granted
          pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall vest immediately and all options
          granted pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall vest and become exercisable
          immediately, and (y) the balance of all remaining stock options to be
          granted during the Term of Employment pursuant to this Section 3.3
          shall immediately be granted and shall vest and become exercisable
          immediately at an exercise price per share equal to the lower of (A)
          the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the relevant
          event or occurrence and (B) the exercise price of the last option
          granted to Employee prior to such event or occurrence, and Employee

          clauses (x) and (y) during the remaining original term of each such
          option. In the event of Employee's voluntary

<PAGE>

          termination (that is not a Constructive Termination Event) or
          termination for Cause, all unvested options and restricted stock shall
          be forfeited, all vested option shall remain exercisable until the
          first to occur of the end of the original term or one year following
          the termination of employment, and no Stock Options not thereto
          granted will be granted.

               3.3.3 Adjustments. The number of shares subject to the Stock
          Options to be granted under this Section 3.3, and the kind of shares
          subject to such options shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any
          change in the Common Stock including, without limitation, a
          recapitalization, spin-off, stock split, consolidation, reorganization
          or merger. To the extent applicable, this Section 3.3 shall
          automatically be deemed to be modified to ensure that Employee's
          rights with respect to acceleration of option grants, acceleration of
          option vesting and other rights are at least as favorable as the
          rights that from time to time are generally applicable to other Senior
          Executives of Employer.

          amended from time to time; provided, that such insurance shall have no

          further, that such insurance will have no exclusions for pre-existing
          conditions.

          from time to time, including, if applicable, split-dollar insurance
          policies, provided, that such insurance shall have no gap in coverage
          with Employee's current insurance; and provided, further, that such
          insurance will have no exclusions for pre-existing conditions.

               3.4.3 Disability Insurance. Disability insurance in an amount and

          retirement plans and fringe benefits), on terms no less favorable than
          those provided to such other Senior Executives.

               3.4.5 Office in New York. Employer shall provide reasonable
          office facilities in New York, New York at its principal executive

               3.4.6 Gross-Up.

                    (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
               notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any
               payment, award, benefit or distribution (or any acceleration of
               any payment, award, benefit or distribution) by Employer (or any
               of its affiliated entities) to or for

                                       7
<PAGE>

               the benefit of Employee (a "Payment") would be subject to the
               excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any
               corresponding provisions of state or local tax laws, or any
               interest or penalties are incurred by Employee with respect to
               such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest
               and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
               "Excise Tax"), then Employee shall be entitled to receive an
               additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") from Employer in an
               amount such that after payment by Employee of all taxes
               (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
               taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any
               interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise
               Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Employee retains an amount
               of the Gross-Up Payment equal to 100% of the Excise Tax imposed
               upon the Payments. The payment of a Gross-Up Payment shall not be
               conditioned upon the occurrence of a termination of employment.

                    (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4.6(a), all
               determinations required to be made under this Section 3.4.6,
               including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the
               amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be
               utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by
               Employer's independent accounting firm as of immediately prior to
               the Change in Control (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall
               provide detailed supporting calculations both to Employer and
               Employee within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of
               notice from Employee that there has been a Payment, or such
               earlier time as is requested by Employer. In the event that the
               Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the
               individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control,
               Employer shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting
               firm reasonably acceptable to Employee to make the determinations
               required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred
               to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of
               the Accounting Firm shall be bome solely by Employer. Any
               Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 3.4.6,
               shall be paid by Employer to Employee within five (5) days
               following receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. Any
               determination by the Accounting Firm

                                       8
<PAGE>

               shall be binding upon Employer and Employee. As a result of the
               uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the
               time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
               hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not
               have been made by Employer should have been made
               ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be
               made hereunder. In the event that Employee thereafter is required
               to make a payment of any Excise Tax (or any additional Excise
               Tax), the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the
               Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be
               promptly paid by Employer to or for the benefit of Employee. In
               the event of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service for any
               Excise Tax or additional Excise Tax, Employer shall have the
               right to control the defense of such claim and Employee shall
               cooperate and assist Employer in connection therewith as
               reasonably requested by Employer; provided that all expenses of
               such claim (including any additional interest or penalties) shall
               be paid by Employer, and Employer shall indemnify and hold the
               Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or
               income tax (including any interests and penalties) imposed as a
               result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses.
               In addition, Employee will cooperate as reasonably requested by
               Employer with Employer in making any refund claim for any Excise
               Tax already paid, and any refunds of any such tax (or any
               Gross-Up Payments or other payments made by Employer in respect
               thereof) obtained by the Employee shall be promptly returned to
               Employer.

                    If Employer directs the Employee to pay such claim and sue
               for a refund, Employer shall advance the amount of such payment
               to the Employee, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify
               and hold the Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any
               Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with
               respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with
               respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and
               further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations
               relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Employee
               with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due
               is limited solely to such contested amount.

                                       9
<PAGE>

               Furthermore, Employer's control of the contest shall be limited
               to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be
               payable hereunder and the Employee shall be entitled to settle or
               contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the
               Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

                    The reimbursement of expenses provided for in Section 3.2,
               the stock and option awards provided for in Section 3.3. the
               benefits provided for in this Section 3.4 and any other benefits
               hereafter granted to Employee by the Board are hereinafter
               referred to as the "Benefits."

               Agreement resulting, in either case, in a material adverse
               economic effect upon the business of Employer.

     For purposes of this Section 6. 1, no act, or failure to act, by Employee
shall be considered "willful" unless committed in bad faith, and without a
reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interests of Employer
or any of its subsidiaries. Cause shall not exist under this Section 6.1 unless
and until Employer has delivered to Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted
by a majority of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such
purpose (after reasonable, but in no event less than ten (10) days notice, to
Employee and an opportunity for Employee, together with his counsel, to be heard
before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Employee
was guilty of the conduct set forth in this Section 6.1 and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail. This Section 6.1 shall not prevent Employee from
challenging in an arbitration proceeding the Board's determination that Cause
exists or that Employee has failed to cure any act (or failure to act) that
purportedly formed the basis for the Board's determination. Employer must
provide notice to Employee that it is intending to terminate his employment for
Cause within sixty (60) days after Employer has knowledge of the occurrence of
the event it believes constitutes Cause.

          6.2. Termination of the Term of Employment upon Employee's Death or
     Permanent and Total Disability. The Term of Employment shall be deemed
     terminated in the event of death or upon the termination of Employee's
     employment following the permanent and total disability of Employee during
     the Term of Employment.

               6.2.1 Effect. In the event of a termination of the Term of
          Employment for death or permanent and total disability, Employer shall
          provide Employee with the Accrued Obligations. Upon Employer's full,
          complete and timely fulfillment and discharge of the aforesaid

                                       13
<PAGE>

          obligations, all obligations of Employer to Employee hereunder shall
          be totally and completely satisfied, and Employer shall have no
          further obligations of any type to Employee pursuant to this Agreement
          (except as may be provided under Sections 3.3, 3.4.6, 18 or 19).

               6.2.2 Definition and Effective Date. Employee shall be considered
          "permanently and totally disabled" for purposes of this Section 6.2 if
          he is unable to perform with reasonable continuity his material duties
          hereunder by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental
          impairment, which inability to perform has lasted for a continuous
          period of not less than six (6) months. A termination for permanent
          and total disability shall take effect upon thirty (30) days written
          notice from Employer to Employee, provided Employee does not return to
          perform his material duties with reasonable continuity during such
          30-day period.

          6.3. Employee's Right to Terminate. Employee may terminate the Term of
     Employment at any time, for any reason, by providing thirty (30) days
     written notice thereof to Employer, and such termination shall not be
     deemed a breach of this Agreement.

               6.3.1 Effective Date. If Employee so terminates the Term of
          Employment (other than under Section 5.1.3) such termination shall
          take effect upon the date designated in the notice provided to
          Employer which shall, in no event, be earlier than thirty (30) days
          following the delivery of such notice; provided, that Employer shall
          have the right in the event of such notice by Employee to accelerate
          the Employee's effective date of termination to any such date that the
          Employer deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

               6.3.2 Effect. If Employee so terminates the Term of Employment
          (other than under Section 5.1.3), Employer shall provide Employee with
          the Accrued Obligations. Upon

                                       14
<PAGE>

          Employer's full, complete and timely fulfillment and discharge of the
          aforesaid obligations, all obligations of Employer to Employee
          hereunder shall be totally and completely satisfied and Employer shall
          have no further obligations of any type to Employee pursuant to this
          Agreement (except as may be provided under Sections 3.3., 3.4.6, 18 or
          19 hereof).

          6.4. Termination of Agreement upon Fulfillment of Post Termination of
     Employment Obligations. If the Term of Employment is terminated pursuant to
     Sections 5.1.2 or 5.1.3 hereof, then this Agreement shall thereafter be
     deemed to be terminated upon Employer's full, complete and timely
     fulfillment and discharge of all obligations imposed upon Employer pursuant
     to the provisions of Sections 3.3, 3.4.6, 7.1, 18 or 19 hereof.

     7. Post-Termination of Employment Obligations.

          7.1. Employer's Obligations after Termination of Term of Employment.
     If the Term of Employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 or 5.1.3
     hereof, then the following provisions shall apply:

               7.1.1 If the Term of Employment is so terminated, Employer shall
          provide Employee with the Accrued Obligations. In addition, Employer
          shall be obligated to pay to the Employee, for a period of time
          commencing on the date of termination of the Term of Employment and
          continuing until the Term Date (herein called the "Surviving
          Obligation Period"), Employee's Salary for the remaining period
          pursuant to this Agreement.

               7.1.2 Employee shall continue to be entitled to participate
          during the Surviving Obligation Period in any and all of the
          profit-sharing and retirement income, stock purchase, savings,
          executive compensation plans at the same level, in the same amount and
          to the

                                       15
<PAGE>

          same degree the Employee was entitled to participate at the time of
          such termination, to the extent permitted by the terms of such plans,
          and applicable law. If Employee's participation in any such plan is
          barred, Employer shall arrange to provide Employee during the
          Surviving Obligation Period with benefits substantially similar to
          those which he was entitled to receive under such plans prior to the
          time of such termination.

               7.1.3 Employer shall maintain in full force and effect for
          Employee for the longer of (a) one year after termination of the Term
          of Employment and (b) the Surviving Obligation Period all life,
          accident, medical and health care plans and disability benefit
          programs and programs or arrangements in which Employee was entitled
          to participate immediately prior to the time of such termination
          provided that Employee's continued participation is possible under the
          general terms and provisions of such plans and programs, and under
          applicable law. If Employee's participation in any such plan or
          program is barred, Employer shall arrange to provide Employee with
          benefits substantially similar to those which he was entitled to
          receive under such plans and programs of Employer prior to the time of
          such termination; provided, however, that the cost to Employer to
          provide such benefits shall be no greater than the contribution made
          by Employer for such benefits for other senior executives of Employer.
          In such event, appropriate adjustment shall be made so that the after
          tax value thereof to Employee is similar to the after tax value to him
          of the benefit plans in which Employee is not eligible to participate.
          At the end of such period, Employee shall have the option to have
          assigned to him at no cost and with no apportionment of pre-paid
          premiums, any assignable insurance policy owned by Employer and
          relating specifically to Employee.

               7.1.4 Employer shall be obligated to provide to Employee, for a
          one year period commencing on the date of termination of the Term of
          Employment, use of a similar office and secretarial support.

                                       16

          7.2 No Mitigation. Under no circumstances shall the Employee be
     required, whether by seeking other employment or otherwise, to mitigate the
     amount of any payment or benefit under this Agreement, and there shall be
     no offset against amounts due the Employee under this Agreement or any
     other agreement on account of any subsequent employment he may obtain or
     for any amount allegedly due Employer by Employee.

     8. Employee's Rights on Change in Control.

          8.1 Change in Control Payments. In the event of a Change in Control,
     the Term of Employment shall not terminate, but Employer shall be obligated
     to pay to Employee an amount equal to Employee's Salary for the period from
     the date of the Change in Control until the Term Date. Such payment shall
     be paid to Employee in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of a Change in
     Control.

          8.2 Stock and Option Acceleration. In addition to the payment required
     under Section 8.1, in the event of a Change in Control (i) all restricted
     stock which may be granted pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof shall vest
     immediately and all Stock Options granted pursuant to Section 3.3 shall
     vest and become exercisable immediately, and (ii) the balance of all
     remaining Stock Options to be granted during the Term of Employment
     pursuant to Section 3.3 shall immediately be granted and shall vest and
     become exercisable immediately. The exercise price of all Stock Options
     accelerated on a Change in Control shall be the lower of (a) the closing
     price of the Common Stock on the date of the Change in Control, and (b) the
     lowest price of any options granted to Employee prior to the Change in
     Control. Employee shall retain the right to exercise all Stock Options
     granted prior to, or which are accelerated upon, a Change in Control during
     the remaining original term of each such option. Upon the acceleration of
     all Stock Options, Employer shall have no obligation to grant any
     additional Stock Options to Employee.

Parties with respect to the employment of Employee, and any prior employment
agreement between Employer and Employee shall be terminated effective as of the
Effective Date.

     16. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is rendered or declared
illegal or unenforceable by reason of any existing or subsequently enacted
legislation or by decree of a court of last resort, the Parties shall promptly
meet and negotiate substitute provisions for those rendered or declared illegal
or unenforceable, but all remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.

     17. Effect of Agreement, Assignment, Required Assumption. This Agreement
shall be binding upon Employee and his heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns and the Employer and its successors and
assigns. Employee may not assign any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of Employer and, except with respect to a successor entity
(as described below), Employer may not assign any rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of Employee. Employer shall require
any person who is the successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or a substantial portion of the
business or assets of Employer to expressly assume the obligations of Employer
hereunder. The term "Employer" as used in this Agreement shall expressly include
any such successors.

     18. Indemnification. Employer shall indemnify Employee and his legal
representatives to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Delaware, and Employee shall be entitled to the protection of such insurance
policies which Employer maintains for the benefit of its directors and officers,
against all costs, charges or expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by him
or his legal representatives in connection with any action, suit or proceeding
to which he or his legal representatives may be made a party by reason of his
being or having been a director of officer of Employer, or because of actions
taken purportedly on behalf of Employer after the Effective Date. Employer
shall, upon request by Employee, promptly advance or pay any amount for costs,
charge or expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses
incurred by counsel retained by Employee) in respect of his right to
indemnification hereunder, subject to a later determination as to Employee's
ultimate right to receive such payment. Employee's identification and the
insurance policies maintained for his benefit shall be at least to the same
extent, of the same type and in the same amount as that maintained by Employer
for the Chief Executive Officer of Employer, as may be amended from
time-to-time.

     19. Legal Fees and Expenses. Employee shall be entitled to receive from
Employer the amount of his legal fees (and expenses) reasonably incurred in
connection with claims or disputes under this Agreement, if Employee is the
prevailing party on any issue in any such dispute. The reimbursement shall be
made as soon as practicable following the resolution of such claim or dispute to
the extent Employer receives reasonable written evidence of such fees and
expenses.

     20. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement cannot be changed, modified or
amended, and no provision or requirement hereof may be waived, without an
affirmative vote of the Board, and the consent in writing of Employee and
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 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 Agreement.

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

     22. Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute or controversy between the parties
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment or modification
hereof shall be determined by arbitration in New York, New York by and pursuant
to the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association, other than
claims for injunctive relief under Sections 10 or 11. All claims

                                       27

for legal remedies under this Agreement shall be limited to the actual damages
of Employer or Employee, respectively, but shall not limit any payments or
damages provided to Employee under the terms of this Agreement. The arbitration
award shall be final and binding upon the parties and judgment may be entered
there on by any court of competent jurisdiction. The service of any notice,
process, motion or other document in connection with any arbitration under this
Agreement or the enforcement of any arbitration award hereunder may be
effectuated either by personal service upon a party or by certified mail duly
addressed to him or to his executors, administrators, personal representatives,
next of kin, successors or assigns, at the last known address or addresses of
such party or parties.

     23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original. It shall not be
necessary when making proof of this Agreement to account for more than one
counterpart.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the
date first above written.
