          that:

          (ii) has  been  furnished  or made known to Executive by third parties
               (other  than those acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf
               of  Executive)  as a matter of legal right without restriction on
               its  use  or  disclosure;

         (iii) was  in  the  possession  of  Executive  prior to obtaining  such
               information  from  Company  in connection with the performance of
               this  Agreement;  or

          (iv) is  required  to  be  disclosed  by  law.

     (b)  Non-Competition.  Executive  agrees  that  he  will  not, for himself,
          on  behalf of, or in conjunction with any person, firm, corporation or
          entity,  either as principal, employee, shareholder, member, director,
          partner,  consultant,  owner  or  part-owner  of  any  corporation,
          partnership  or  any  other  type  of  business  entity,  directly  or
          indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate
          in,  or  be  connected  in  any manner with the ownership, management,
          operation,  or control of any establishment which has live female nude
          or  semi-nude  entertainment  or  is  in  any  business  similar to or
          competitive with the female entertainment business presently conducted
          by  the  Company  anywhere in the United States within 50 miles of any
          female  entertainment  business  of  the  Company  or  any  female
          entertainment  business  of  the  Company  under  construction,  under
          contract,  in development or leased by or to the Company, for a period
          of  two  years (the "Non-Compete Period") from the termination of this
          Agreement.  However,  in  the  event of the termination of Executive's
          employment  pursuant  to  Section 7(d) or 7(f), the Non-Compete Period
          shall  be  six  months.

          Executive  agrees  not  to  hire,  solicit  or  attempt to solicit for
          employment  by  Executive  or any company to which he may be involved,
          either  directly  or  indirectly,  any  party  who  is  an employee or
          independent  contractor  of  the  Company  or  any  entity  which  is
          affiliated  with  the  Company,  or  any person who was an employee or
          independent  contractor  of  the  Company  or  any  entity  which  is
          affiliated  with  the  Company  within the two year period immediately
          following  the  termination  of  this  Agreement.

          Executive  acknowledges  that he has carefully read and considered all
          provisions  of  this  Agreement  and  agrees  that:

          (i)  Due  to  the  nature  of  the  Company's  business, the foregoing
               covenants  place  no  greater  restraint  upon  Executive than is
               reasonably  necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the
               Company;

          (ii) These  covenants  protect the legitimate interests of the Company
               and  do  not  serve  solely  to  limit  the  Company's  future
               competition;

         (iii) This  Agreement  is  not an  invalid or unreasonable restraint of
               trade;

                         Employment Agreement - Page 3
<PAGE>
          (iv) A  breach of these covenants by Executive would cause irreparable
               damage  to  the  Company;

          (v)  These  covenants  are  reasonable  in  scope  and  are reasonably
               necessary  to  protect  the Company's business and goodwill which
               the  Company  has established through its own expense and effort;
               and

          (vi) The  signing  of  this  Agreement  is  necessary  as  part of the
               consummation  of  the  transactions  described  in  the preamble.

     6.   INDEMNIFICATION. The Corporation shall to the full extent permitted by
          law or as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of
          the  Company,  indemnify,  defend and hold harmless Executive from and
          against  any  and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, loses and
          expenses  (including  reasonable  attorney's  fees,  court  costs  and
          disbursements)  arising  out  of  the performance by him of his duties
          hereunder  except  in  the  case  of  his  willful  misconduct.

          employment of the Executive under this Agreement for disability in the
          event  Executive  suffers  an  injury,  illness, or incapacity of such
          character  as  to substantially disable him from performing his duties
          without reasonable accommodation by the Company hereunder for a period
          of  more  than  one  hundred  eighty  (180)  consecutive days upon the
          Company  giving  at  least  thirty  (30)  days  written  notice  of
          termination.

     (b)  Death.  This  Agreement  will terminate on the Death of the Executive.

     (c)  With  Cause.  The  Company  may  terminate  this Agreement at any time
          because  of  (i)  Executive's  material  breach  of  any  term  of the
          Agreement,  (ii)  the  determination  by the Board of Directors in the
          exercise  of  its  reasonable judgment that Executive has committed an
          act  or  acts  constituting  a  felony  or other crime involving moral
          turpitude,  dishonesty  or  theft or fraud; or (iii) Executive's gross
          negligence  in  the  performance of his duties hereunder, provided, in
          each  case,  however,  that  the  Company  shall  not  terminate  this
          Agreement pursuant to this Section 7(c) unless the Company shall first
          have  delivered  to  the  Executive,  a  notice  which  specifically
          identifies  such breach or misconduct and the executive shall not have
          cured  the same within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice.

     (d)  Good  Reason.  The  Executive  may  terminate his employment for "Good
          Reason"  if:

          (i)  he is assigned,  without  his  express  written  consent,  any
               duties  materially  inconsistent  with  his  positions,  duties,
               responsibilities,  or  status  with  the  Company  as of the date
               hereof,  or  a change in his reporting responsibilities or titles
               as  in  effect  as  of  the  date hereof; provided, however, that

               reporting  responsibilities  under  this Section 7(d)(i) and give
               the  Company  opportunity  to  cure  such  inconsistency. If such
               dispute  is  not  resolved  within  thirty (30) days, the Company
               shall  submit  such  dispute  to  arbitration  under  Section 14.

          (ii) his  compensation  is  reduced;

         (iii) the Company  does not pay any material amount of compensation due
               hereunder and then fails either to pay such amount within the ten
               (10)  day  notice period required for termination hereunder or to
               contest  in  good  faith such notice. Further, if such contest is
               not  resolved  within  thirty (30) days, the Company shall submit
