          7.   Termination Payments.  Executive (or his or her estate pursuant
               --------------------
to Paragraph 6(a) hereof) shall be entitled to receive the following payments
upon termination of his employment hereunder:

          (a)  In the event of the termination of Executive's employment
pursuant to Paragraph 6(a), 6(c) or 6(f) hereof, or by the Company pursuant to
Paragraph 6(d) for Company's Good Reason or pursuant to Paragraph 6(g), the

          (b)  In the event of the termination of Executive's employment
pursuant to Paragraph 6(b) hereof, the Company shall pay to Executive for a

          (d)  Without limiting the remedies available to the Company for breach

Company in a manner materially injurious to the Company (as that term is defined
in Paragraph 10), any termination payments provided in this Paragraph 7
remaining unpaid at the time such violation occurs shall be automatically
forfeited.

          8.   Resignation as Officer or Director.  Upon the termination of the
               ----------------------------------
Employment Period, Executive will resign each position (if any) that he then
holds as an officer or director of any of the Muzak Entities (including, without
limitation, his membership on the Board).

          9.   Confidential Information.  Executive acknowledges that the
               ------------------------
information, observations and data that (i) have been or may be obtained by him
during his employment or other relationship or interaction with any Muzak Entity
or any predecessor of any Muzak Entity (any such Muzak Entity or any such
predecessor being a "Muzak-Related Company," and collectively they are the
                     ---------------------
"Muzak-Related Companies"), prior to and/or after the date hereof concerning the
 -----------------------
business or affairs of the Muzak-Related Companies, and (ii) is treated by the
Muzak-Related Companies as confidential information (collectively, "Confidential
                                                                    ------------
Information") are and will be the property of the Muzak-Related Companies.
-----------
Therefore, Executive agrees that he will not disclose to any unauthorized Person
or use for his own account any Confidential Information without the prior
written consent of Holdings LLC (by the action of the Board),

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

unless and to the extent that (x) the aforementioned matters become generally
known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of
Executive's acts or omissions to act, or (y) disclosure of the aforementioned
matters is required under federal or state law or a duly issued subpoena. In the
event any disclosure pursuant to clause (y) above is to be made, Executive will
give the Board reasonable prior notice thereof and will permit the Muzak-Related
Companies to resist or limit the scope of the disclosure to be made. Executive
will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company at the termination of the
Employment Period, or at any other time any Muzak Entity or the Board may
request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and
software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) containing or
relating to Confidential Information or the business of any Muzak-Related
Company, which he may then possess or have under his control.

          10.  Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation.
               -----------------------------

          (a)  Non-Compete.  Executive acknowledges that during his employment
               -----------
or other relationship or interaction with the Muzak-Related Companies, he has
and will become familiar with trade secrets and other confidential information
concerning the Muzak-Related Companies, and with investment opportunities
relating to the business of the Muzak-Related Companies (the "Business"), and
                                                              --------
that his services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary
value to the foregoing entities. Therefore, Executive agrees that, during the
Employment Period and thereafter, until the 2nd anniversary of the last day of
the Employment Period (the Employment Period and the remainder of such period
being the "Noncompete Period"), he will not directly or indirectly own, manage,
           -----------------
control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any other
manner engage in any business, or as an investor in or lender to any business
(in each case including, without limitation, on his own behalf or on behalf of
another entity) which constitutes or is competitive with all or part of the
Business (as and where the same is conducted or proposed to be conducted by any
of Muzak-Related Companies during the Employment Period). In addition, in as
much as the Company regularly seeks to acquire additional Muzak franchises
and/or Muzak franchisees, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period
and thereafter, until the 1st anniversary of the last day of the Employment
Period, he will not directly or indirectly acquire or seek to acquire any Muzak
franchise or the assets or ownership interest of any Muzak franchisee within the
United States. Nothing in this Section 10 will prohibit Executive from being a
passive owner of less than 5% of the outstanding stock of a corporation engaged
in a competing business described above of any class which is publicly traded,
so long as Executive has no direct or indirect participation in the business of
such corporation.

          (b)  Non-Solicitation.  During the Noncompete Period, Executive will
               ----------------
not directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or full-
time independent contractor of any Muzak-Related Company to leave the employ or
contracting relationship with such entity, (ii) solicit for employment or as an
independent contractor any person who was an employee or full-time independent
contractor of any Muzak-Related Company, at any time during the Employment
Period, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier or other
business relation of any Muzak-Related Company to cease doing business with such
entity.

          11.  Enforcement.  The parties hereto agree that if, at the time of
               -----------
enforcement of Section 9 or 10, a court holds that any restriction stated in any
such Section is unreasonable

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

under circumstances then existing, then the maximum period, scope or
geographical area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for
the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive's services are unique and
because Executive has access to information of the type described in Sections 9
and 10, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate
remedy for any breach of Section 9 or 10. Therefore, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of Section 9 or 10, any Muzak-Related Company, 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 provisions
of Section 9 or 10, without posting a bond or other security. The provisions of
Sections 9, 10 and 11 are intended to be for the benefit of the Company,
Holdings LLC, each of the other Muzak Entities, and their respective successors
and assigns, each of which may enforce such provisions and each of which (other
than Holdings LLC and the Company) is an express third-party beneficiary of such
provisions and this Agreement generally. Sections 9 and 10 and this Section 11
will survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms
notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period.

          12.  Representations.  Executive represents and warrants to the
               ---------------
Company and Holdings LLC that Executive is not a party to or bound by any
employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any
other Person.

          13.  Key-Man Life Insurance.  Executive agrees to submit to any
               ----------------------
requested physical examination in connection with any Muzak Entity's purchase of
a "key-man" insurance policy. Executive agrees to cooperate fully in connection
with the underwriting, purchase and/or retention of a key-man insurance policy
by any Muzak Entity.

          14.  Miscellaneous.
               -------------
