                                       3
<PAGE>

         (b) TERMINATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
Executive is terminated for any reason, he resigns or upon death or disability,
all Executive Securities shall be subject to repurchase at Fair Market Value of
such Executive Securities.

         (c) REPURCHASE OPTION. As set forth above, Holdings may elect to
purchase the applicable Executive Securities by delivering written notice (the
"'Holdings Repurchase Notice") to the holder or holders of such Executive
Securities within 90 days after the Termination Date. The Repurchase Notice will
set forth the number of such Executive Securities to be acquired from each
holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such Executive Securities and
the time and place for the closing of the transaction. If the number of such
Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of
Executive Securities Holdings has elected to purchase, Holdings shall purchase
the remaining Executive Securities elected to be purchased from the other
holder(s) of such Executive Securities under this paragraph 6, pro rata
according to the number of such Executive Securities held by such other
holder(s), respectively, at the time of delivery of the Repurchase Notice
(determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit or other applicable
denomination).

         (d) CLOSING. Subject to paragraph 6(e) below, the closing of the
purchase of the applicable Executive Securities pursuant to the Repurchase
Option shall take place on the date designated by Holdings in the Repurchase
Notice, which date shall not be more than 60 days nor less than five days after
the later of (i) the delivery of such notice(s) or (ii) the Fair Market
Valuation Date. Payment for such Executive Securities to be purchased pursuant
to the Repurchase Option shall be made by Holdings in four (4) equal
installments, the first installment payable on the closing of such purchase, the
second payable four (4) months after the closing, the third payable eight (8)
months after the closing and the fourth payable twelve (12) months after the
closing, each such payment made by check or wire transfer of funds, at the
option of Holdings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Holdings may withdraw their Repurchase Notice at any time prior to
the closing of the initial purchase of such Executive Securities pursuant to the
Repurchase Option.

         (e) TERMINATION OF REPURCHASE OPTION. The right of Holdings to
repurchase Executive Securities pursuant to this paragraph 6 shall terminate
upon the FIRST TO OCCUR OF (i) the Sale of Holdings, or (ii) the Sale of the
Company. The Repurchase Option set forth in this paragraph 6 will continue with
respect to such Executive Securities following any transfer thereof other than a
transfer to Holdings.

         (f) REPURCHASE RESTRICTIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, all repurchases of Executive Securities by Holdings
shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the General Corporate
Law of the State of Delaware. If any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase
of the Executive Securities hereunder which Holdings is otherwise entitled or
required to make, Holdings may make such repurchases as soon as it is permitted
to do so under such restrictions.

         (g) SECTION 83B ELECTION. Within 30 days after Executive purchases any
Executive Securities from Holdings, Executive shall make an effective election
with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

         (h)  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Executive hereby represents,
warrants, covenants and agrees that:

              (i) Executive has acquired the Management Units for investment for
an indefinite period, not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part of
all thereof by public or private sale or disposition.

              (ii) Executive has been advised that the Management Units issuable
thereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or
qualified under any other securities law, on the ground, among others, that no
distribution or public offering of the Management Units is to be effected and
the Management Units will be issued in connection with a transaction that does
not involve any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and under comparable exemption provisions of the securities laws,
rules and regulations of other jurisdictions. Executive understands that
Holdings is relying in part on the Executive's representations as set forth
herein for purposes of claiming such exemptions and that the basis for such
exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding Executive's representations,
Executive has in mind merely acquiring Management Units for resale on the
occurrence or non-occurrence of some predetermined event. Executive has no such
intention.

              (iii) Executive has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that Executive is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
an investment in the Management Units issuable thereunder and has the capacity
to protect Executive's own interest in connection with Executive's proposed
acquisition of the Management Units. Executive is an "Accredited Investor" as
defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

              (iv) Executive acknowledges that Executive has been furnished with
such financial and other information concerning the Company and Holdings as
Executive considers necessary in connection with Executive's acquisition of the
Management Units. Executive has carefully reviewed such information and is
thoroughly familiar with the proposed business, operations, properties and
financial condition of the Company and Holdings and has discussed with
representatives of the Company and Holdings any questions the acquisition may
have with respect thereto. Executive understands: (i) the risks involved in this
offering, including the speculative nature of the investment; (ii) the financial
hazards involved in this offering, including the risk of losing such Executive's
entire investment; (iii) the lack of liquidity and restrictions on transfers of
the Management Units; and (iv) the tax consequences of this investment.
Executive has consulted with Executive's own legal, accounting, tax, investment
and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of an investment by
Executive in the Management Units and the merits and risks of an investment in
the Management Units.

              (v) The execution, delivery and performance by Executive of this
Agreement have been duly authorized by Executive. This Agreement constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of
equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or
at law).

                                       5
<PAGE>

              (vi) Executive understands that the Management Units will be
"restricted securities" as the term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, that the Management Units must be held indefinitely unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under any other
applicable securities law or exemption from such registration and qualification
are available. Executive understands that Holdings is under no obligation to
register or qualify the Management Units under the Securities Act, or any other
securities law.

              (vii) Executive agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions,
obligations, covenants and restrictions of the LLC Agreement and by the
execution of this Agreement Executive shall become and the Managing Member of
the LLC does hereby admit Executive as a "Member" and "Management Holder" of
Holdings.

    7.   DEFINITIONS.

         "EXECUTIVE SECURITIES" mean: (i) any Management Units acquired by
Executive, and (ii) any equity or debt securities issued or issuable directly or
indirectly with respect to the Executive Securities referred to in clauses (i)
above by any of a conversion, split, distribution or dividend or in connection
with a combination of securities, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or
other reorganization. Executive Securities shall continue to be Executive
Securities in the hands of any holder thereof (other than Holdings or any of its
members).

         "FAIR MARKET VALUATION DATE" with respect to any Executive Securities
means the date on which its Fair Market Value is finally determined pursuant to
the definition of "Fair Market Value."

         "FAIR MARKET VALUE" of the Management Units means the Fair Market Value
as shall be determined jointly in good faith by Holdings and Executive; provided
that if Holdings and Executive cannot so agree, then such value shall be
determined by an independent investment banking firm of national or regional
reputation utilizing valuation techniques then commonly used for the valuation
of such investment interests, which investment banking firm will be jointly
selected by Holdings and Executive in good faith, or if such parties cannot
agree on an investment banking firm, then such value shall be determined by an
investment banking firm selected by a lot from a group of six firms possessing
the above described qualifications (three of whom shall be selected by Holdings
and three of whom shall be selected by Executive) from which one firm designated
as objectionable by each of Holdings and Executive shall be eliminated (in
either case, the investment banking firm's determination shall be conclusive).
The expense of any such appraisal shall be borne equally by the parties. In
determining the Fair Market Value of the Management Units to be purchased
pursuant to he exercise of the Repurchase Option, the parties or the investment
bank, as the case may be, shall use the average of the thirty (30) day trading
price of Common Stock of the Company as a partial determining factor, taking
into account the limitations, restrictions and payment preferences of the
Management Units. References in this definition to Executive shall mean
Executive's personal representative if he is deceased or incapacitated.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         "LLC AGREEMENT" shall mean the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited
Liability Company Agreement of U-C Holdings, L.L.C. dated August 31, 1999, as
amended from time to time.

         "MANAGEMENT UNITS" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the LLC
Agreement.

         "ORIGINAL COST" of the Executive Securities will be the price per such
security paid by Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (in each
case, as proportionately adjusted for all subsequent security splits, security
dividends, security distributions and other recapitalizations affecting the
Executive Securities).

         "SALE OF COMPANY" shall mean the sale of substantially all of the stock
of Company held by Holdings or the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of Company.

         "SALE OF HOLDINGS" shall mean the sale of substantially all of the
equity interest of Holdings or the sale of all or substantially all the assets
of Holdings in Company.

         "SECURITIES ACT" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time
to time.

    8.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive acknowledges that the
information, observations and data obtained by him while employed by the
Company, or during the due diligence process in connection with Holdings
investment in the Company, concerning the business or affairs of the Company
("Confidential Information") are the property of the Company. Therefore.
Executive agrees that, except in the performance of duties for the Company, he
shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any
Confidential Information without prior written consent of the Board, except (i)
to the extent that the aforementioned matters become generally known to and
available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive's wrongful
acts or omissions to act, (ii) as necessary to comply with compulsory legal
process, PROVIDED that Executive shall provide prior notice to the Company
regarding such disclosure and the Company, as applicable, shall have the right
to contest such disclosure, (iii) as necessary to counsel and other professional
advisors retained by the Executive, subject to the attorney/client privilege or
a valid and binding non-disclosure agreement between Executive and such
professional and (iv) disclosures of information obtained from a third party
free of restrictions or disclosure of information in Executive's possession
prior to the date hereof which was obtained from a source other than the Company
or its predecessors. Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination
of the Employment Period, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports,
computer tapes and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof)
relating to Confidential Information, Work Product or the business of the
Company which he may then possess or have under his control.

    9.   INVENTIONS AND PATENTS. Executive agrees that all ideas, concepts,
marketing strategies, management techniques, product development, methods,
designs, analyses, drawings, reports, and all similar or related information
which relates to the Company's actual or anticipated business, research and
development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived,
developed or made by Executive while employed by the Company ("Work Product")
belong to the Company. Executive will promptly disclose such Work Product to the
Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during
or after the

                                       7
<PAGE>

Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership
(including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and
other instruments).

    10.  NON-COMPETE, NON-SOLICITATION.

         (a) Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with
the Company he will become familiar with the Company's trade secrets and with
other confidential information concerning the Company and that his services will
be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company. Therefore,
Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period, during any period in which
he is receiving payments pursuant to paragraph 4 or for which he has received a
lump sum payment pursuant to this Agreement or any subsequent agreement, and for
two years after such termination (the "Non-Compete Period"), he shall not
directly or indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, consult with,
render services for, or in any manner engage in any business competing with the
businesses of the Company (which business is an information or entertainment
network marketing to colleges and universities), within any geographical area in
which the Company engages or plans to engage in such businesses. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from (i) continuing his
ownership, management and/or control of any business in which and to the extent
which he held such interests and managed such interests prior to the Non-Compete
Period, or (ii) being a passive owner of not more than 5% of the outstanding
stock of any class of a company which is publicly traded, so long as Executive
has no active participation in the management or the business of such company.

         (b) During the Employment Period and for eighteen months thereafter,
Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) solicit,
encourage, interview, entice, discuss with or induce or attempt to induce any
employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between the Company and any employee thereof,
(ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company at any time during the
Employment Period or (iii) induce or attempt to induce or attempt to induce any
customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company with whom
he had contact to cease doing business with the Company, or in any way interfere
with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business
relation and the Company.

    11.  ENFORCEMENT. If, at the time of enforcement of paragraphs 8, 9, or
10 of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parities hereto agree that
the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such
circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope and area.
Because Executive's services are unique and because Executive has access to
Confidential Information and Work Product, the parties hereto agree that money
damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement.
Therefore, in the event a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the
Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and
remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction
for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce,
or prevent any violations of, the provision hereof (without posting a bond or
other security).

    12.  EXECUTIVE REPRESENTATIONS. Executive hereby represents and warrants
to the Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by Executive does

                                       8
<PAGE>

not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any
contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive
is a party or by which he is bound, (ii) Executive is not a party to or bound
by any employment agreement, non-compete agreement or confidentiality
agreement with any other person or entity, which would prohibit his
performance under this Agreement, and (iii) upon the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be valid and binding
obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

    13.  SURVIVAL. Paragraphs 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 shall survive and
continue in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any
termination of the Employment Period.

    14.  NOTICES. Any notice provided for in this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be either personally delivered, mailed by first class mail
