AGREEMENT  entered into as of August 1, 1999 between  SUMTHING  DISTRIBUTION,  a
division of NRP, Inc. ("we" or "us"), 1650 Broadway,  New York, New York 10019 -
and - PRELUDE MUSIC AND FILM WORKS ("you").

The following will constitute our agreement:

     1. You  appoint  us as your  exclusive  distributor  throughout  the United
States,  its  territories  and  possessions  and  Armed  Forces  Post  Exchanges
("Territory") of your Records through Normal Retail Channels during the Term.

     2. (a) The Term will  commence  on August 1, 1999 and will  continue  for 2
years.

     (b) We will have the option to extend the Term for one (1) additional year,
by giving you  written  notice to that  effect at any time prior to the date the
Term would otherwise have expired;  provided,  however,  we may not exercise the
option unless "Net Sales" (as hereinafter  defined) of Records prior to the date
the  Term  would  otherwise  expire  is at  least  Two  Hundred  Fifty  Thousand
($250,000.00) Dollars.

     3. During the Term and in the Territory;

     (a) We will solicit and process orders, and distribute your Records on your
behalf  through  Normal Retail  Channels.

     (b) The services to be rendered by us include  billing and collecting  from
customers and inventory control activities.

     (c) We will  process  return of Records in  accordance  with our  customary
policies and practices.  (You  acknowledge that we sell Records to our customers
on an  "unlimited  term"  basis.)

     (d) At your request, we will administer  advertising for your Records up to
an amount  mutually  approved by you and us. You agree to  reimburse  us for all
costs  incurred by us on your behalf in  connection  with  advertising  for your
Records,  and for any costs incurred by us on your behalf in connection with the
marketing of Records through Normal Retail Channels.

     (e)  During  the Term,  we will  accept  and  store,  at your sole cost and
expense,  all  Records  until such  Records  are sold.  Promptly  following  our
request,  you will remove from our facilities,  or order the destruction of, any
"surplus"  Records (i.e.,  that amount of Records in excess of our  then-current
retention policy).  All Records so removed may be defaced by us, and you will be
responsible  for our  customary  charges  therefor.  With  respect to Records so
removed,  you will be responsible for any freight charges incurred by us to ship
any such "surplus"  Records back to you.

     4. (a) You will be  responsible  for the  manufacture  of your  Records and
components  and the delivery of all finished  goods f.o.b.  to our  distribution
warehouse.  All records will be  delivered to us in all respects  ready for sale
(including shrink-wrapping,  stickering, inserts and similar costs). You will be
solely  responsible for any shipping charges in connection with the manufacture,
sale or distribution of Records, or any other shipping charges hereunder.

     (b)  You and we  will  mutually  determine  the  size of all  manufacturing
orders.

     (c) If for my reason you are unable to  manufacture  Records in  accordance
herewith,  we may,  in our sole  discretion,  manufacture  your  Records on your
behalf.  In such case, you will be solely  responsible for paying all charges in
connection with the manufacture of your Records,  including any shipping charges
and any services  charges (e.g.,  shrink wrapping,  stickering,  insert charges,
etc.).  We will deduct all such charges from Net Sales and any other monies,  as
and when the same are due you hereunder.

     5. (a) You will  determine  the retail list price  category for each Record
from among the  retail  list price  categories  offered by us to our  customers,
subject to our reasonable approval. With respect to a Record for which we do not
have a standard  retail list price  category  (such as a "box set"),  you and we
will mutually determine a retail list price.
<PAGE>
     (b) We will determine the selling price of Records to our customers,  based
upon the retail list price  category  designated  by you, and will be consistent
with our  selling  prices  for  other  records  in the same  retail  list  price
category.

     (c) You and we will  mutually  determine  the  release  date of each  title
hereunder.

     6. (a) In respect of Records distributed hereunder, you will pay us (and we
may retain for our own benefit  from  proceeds  hereunder)  a  distribution  fee
("Distribution  Fee") equal to twenty-three  (23%) percent of Net Sales.

     (b) You will pay us a  "handling"  charge  equal to twenty  cents (20>) for
each of your Records returned to us, provided, we will have the right, on notice
to you to increase the "handling" charge in an amount reasonably  related to the
increase in our actual costs for handling returns

     7. We will provide an accounting  statement to you for Records  distributed
by us  hereunder  no later than  thirty  (30) days after the end of the month in
which such  Records were  distributed.  Payment for amounts due for Records sold
pursuant  to each  accounting  statement  will be made no later than thirty (30)
days after the end of the mouth in which we receive payment for Records sold. We
will pay you the amount due you after  deduction of: (i) the  Distribution  Fee;
(ii)  reserves as set forth in paragraph 8 below;  (iii) all  services  charges,
including the returns handling changes; (iv) all manufacturing  charges; and (v)
any and all other  costs,  fees or charges  which we have the right to deduct or
which you otherwise owe us, including without limitation,  co-op advertising and
retail marketing costs which we, at your request, may incur on your behalf.

     (a) With  respect  to any month as to which  there is a net amount due from
you to us,  such net amount will be carried  over and will be deducted  from any
monies otherwise payable to you.

     (b) (i) All statements  rendered by us will be binding upon and not subject
to objection  by you unless  specific  objection  in writing,  stating the basis
thereof,  is given to us within one (1) year from the date  rendered,  and after
such notice of objection,  unless suit is instituted  within two (2) years after
the date rendered.  Failure to make specific  objection  within said time period
will be deemed your approval of such statement.

     (ii) You will  have the  right at your own  expense  to audit our books and
records with regard to statements  rendered  hereunder for one (1) year prior to
such audit,  but only once with respect to any  statement  and only at our usual
place of business where such books and records are  maintained.  Such audit will
be conducted on your behalf by an independent certified public accountant during
our normal business hours and upon reasonable written notice.

8. In connection with each monthly  statement we render,  we will have the right
to  withhold  and  deduct  a  reserve  against  returns  and  credits  equal  to
thirty-five  (35%)  percent  of the Gross  Sales of  Records  reflected  in such
statement.  Each reserve  established  by us will be  summarized  on a quarterly
basis, and will be liquidated as follows:

     (a)  Twenty-five  (25%)  percent of the  reserve  will be  credited to your
account three months  following the date that reserve was summarized  and, after
deduction of the Distribution Fee.

     (b)  Twenty-five  (25%)  percent of the  reserve  will be  credited to your
account six months  following the date that reserve was  summarized  and,  after
deduction of the Distribution Fee.

     (c)  Twenty-five  (25%)  percent of the  reserve  will be  credited to your
account nine months  following the date that reserve was  summarized  and, after
deduction of the Distribution Fee.

     (d)  Twenty-five  (25%)  percent of the  reserve  will be  credited to your
account one year  following  the date that  reserve was  summarized  and,  after
deduction of the Distribution Fee.
<PAGE>
     9. (a) Within  fifteen (15) days following the expiration or termination of
the Term,  you will  remove  all  inventory  of your  Records  from our  storage
facilities;  provided, however, you will first deface such Records and packaging
to our reasonable satisfaction in order to insure that they will not be returned
to us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will not be required to deface Records
if you (i) notify all of our  customers to send all returns of such Records to a
third party distributor who has agreed to accept all such returns; and (ii) take
all other steps which we deem  reasonably  necessary to insure that such returns
are sent to such third party distributor.

     (b) At any time after the end of the Term we may,  in our sole  discretion,
cease accepting returns of Records hereunder.

     10. (a) You warrant and represent that

     (i) You have the  right  and power to enter  into and  fully  perform  this
agreement.

     (ii) The compositions, Records, names, likenesses, performances, trademarks
and logos, and other musical,  literary and intellectual  properties embodied in
the Records (including packaging) hereunder will not violate any law or infringe
upon the rights of any third  party,  and you have the full right to exploit all
of the foregoing in the Records.

     (iii) You own the exclusive  right to exploit the Records and to distribute
the Records  hereunder.

     (iv) You are and will at all relevant  times  continue to be a signatory to
and will  comply  with the rules and  regulations  of any union or guild  having
jurisdiction thereof, and all Records will have been recorded in accordance with
applicable  union and/or guild  agreement.

     (v)  Prior to our  distribution  of any  Records  hereunder,  you will have
obtained all necessary consents, permissions and licenses in connection with the
Records,  the Records and the packaging therefor  (including without limitation,
mechanical  licenses,  artwork,  licenses,  so-called  "sample"  clearances  and
musician clearances).

     (vi)  You will be  solely  responsible  for any  claim  of  non-payment  of
recording  costs in  connection  with the Records,  and you will timely make all
other payments  necessary in order to enable us to distribute  the Records.  You
will timely pay all  mechanical  and artist  royalties  and other sums due third
parties in connection with the Records.

     (vii)  You will be  responsible  for and will  pay when due all  sales  and
property taxes (including any taxes on inventory) which may be applicable to the
transactions  hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we become liable for
any such taxes, we will have the right to charge you for the amount thereof from
proceeds hereunder.

     (viii) We will not be responsible  for the payment of any costs,  expenses,
charges,  fees or royalties  to any persons  whatsoever  except as  specifically
provided herein.

     (b) You hereby  indemnify and save us and our employees and agents harmless
from and against any and all claims,  damages,  liabilities,  costs and expenses
(including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  arising  out of any breach or alleged
breach of any warranties or  representations  made by you herein at your failure
to perform an accordance  with this  agreement.  You will reimburse us on demand
for any  payments  made by us in respect of any claim or  liability to which the
foregoing  indemnity  applies.  We may  withhold  sums due you  hereunder in any
amount  reasonably  related to our  potential  liability  and cost  pending  the
resolution of any action as to which this indemnity applies.

     11. For  purposes  of this  agreement,  the  following  terms will have the
following meanings:

     (a) "Normal Retail Channels":  Normal retail  distribution  channels in the
record industry,  specifically including sales to record stores, book stores and

we will have the right to suspend  the  running of the Term until the passage of
such event.

     (b) No failure to perform will be deemed a breach  hereof  unless the other
party gives the party in default  written notice of such failure and same is not
cured within thirty (30) days thereafter.

     (c)  This  agreement  contains  the  entire  understanding  of the  parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and cannot be changed or terminated except
by an instrument signed by the party to be charged.

     (d) We may assign this agreement to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate, or

Producer: Big Dog Entertainment/Prelude Development, Inc.
          100A Gary Way, Ronkonkoma
          New York, N.Y. 11779

Owner:    Warren Murphy
          c/o TD Media, Inc.
          300 E. 59th St Suite 1706
          New York, New York 10022

     This will serve as the agreement between Producer and Owner with respect to
the  unpublished,  unexploited  original  treatment  for a  screenplay  and  the
subsequent   screenplay  entitled   "Swashbuckler"   written  by  Warren  Murphy
("Author").  (That  work,  and the title,  themes,  stories  and other  contents
thereof, and the characters therein, and all translations,  adaptations, sequels
and other versions thereof now or hereafter owned by Owner, whether now existing
or hereafter created, are herein called, collectively, the "Screenplay").

     1. Option.  In consideration of the efforts  heretofore and hereafter to be
expended  by  Producer  in  connection  with  the  development,   financing  and
production  of the  Screenplay,  and for other good and valuable  consideration,
receipt of which is hereby  acknowledged,  Owner hereby  grants to Producer a 20
month exclusive and irrevocable  option (the "Option") to purchase all rights in
the Screenplay (the  "Rights").  The initial option period shall commence on the
date upon which Owner signs this agreement as indicated  below.  This option may
be extended by Producer for an  additional  12 months by payment to Owner of the
sum of $20,000 (the "Option  Extension  Fee") at any time prior to expiration of
the initial  option  period.  During the initial  option  period and  extensions
thereof,  Producer may engage in development and  preproduction  activities with
respect to motion pictures and/or other productions based on the Screenplay.  If
in connection with such development or preproduction activities another party is
engaged by or on behalf of Producer to write revisions of the Screenplay and /or
to prepare any such  preproduction  materials,  all such revisions and materials
shall be and remain  Producer's  sole and  exclusive  property  (whether  or not
Producer  exercises  the  option  hereunder).  The  initial  option  period  and
extensions  thereof  shall be extended  without  notice for periods equal to the
length of industry-wide labor disputes and other force majeure events.

     2. Purchase.  Producer agrees to pay Owner the sum of Five Thousand Dollars
($5000.00) on April 15, 1999,  as initial  payment to apply against the purchase
price of the Rights,  which shall be the sum of $150,000 (the "Purchase Price").
The balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid upon exercise of the Option with
funding and a production agreement for filming the project.. The option shall be
exercised by written notice or by commencement  of principal  photography of the
first feature-length motion picture based on the Screenplay produced pursuant to
the Rights granted hereunder (the "Picture").
<PAGE>
     3. Contingent  Compensation.  Owner shall be entitled to an amount equal to
5% of 100% of  Producer's  gross  share of  proceeds,  if any,  of the  Picture,
defined, accounted for and paid in accordance with the most favorable definition
utilized in connection with the Picture that the Producer enjoys.

     4. Rights.  If the Option is exercised,  Producer  shall own, and,  subject
only to such  exercise,  Owner  assigns and sells to Producer,  exclusively,  in
perpetuity and throughout the universe, all right, title and interest (including
the entire copyright) in the Screenplay,  including, by way of illustration, all
motion picture rights, all television rights (pay, free, film, tape, cable, live
and  otherwise)  and  all  allied  and  incidental   rights  in  the  Screenplay
(including, by way of further illustration,  sequel and remake rights, music and
music publishing  rights,  soundtrack  album and other  soundtrack  exploitation
rights,  merchandising rights, publishing rights, radio rights, stage rights and
promotional and advertising rights.)

     The rights herein  granted  include,  by way of further  illustration,  the
right to  distribute,  transmit,  exhibit,  broadcast and otherwise  exploit all
works produced  pursuant to the Rights granted hereunder by means of any and all
media and devices  whether now known or  hereafter  devised,  and in any and all
markets  whatsoever,  as well as the right of Producer in its discretion to make
any and all changes in, additions to and deletions from the Screenplay.

     Owner also  hereby  grants to  Producer  the  perpetual  right to issue and
authorize  reasonable  and customary  publicity  concerning  Author,  and to use
Author's  name and  likeness  and  biographical  material  in a  reasonable  and
customary manner in connection with the  distribution,  exhibition,  advertising
and other  exploitation  of any motion picture in which the Screenplay  shall be
used in whole or in part.

     Owner hereby  covenants and agrees not to make any claim or bring any suit,
action or arbitration or other  proceeding which will or might interfere with or
derogate from Producer's rights in the Screenplay, it being expressly understood
and agreed  that Owner  shall not have or be deemed to have any lien,  charge or
other encumbrance upon said Screenplay or any rights therein or proceeds derived
therefrom,  and that neither the breach nor alleged  breach of this agreement by
Producer, nor the termination of this agreement,  nor any other act, omission or
event of any kind,  shall  terminate or otherwise  adversely  affect  Producer's
ownership of said  Screenplay  and the Rights.  Owner's sole remedy for any such
breach or alleged  breach  shall be an action at law to recover  such damages as
may have been actually suffered by it as a result thereof.

     Nothing  contained  in this  agreement  shall  be  construed  as  requiring
Producer to exercise or exploit, or continue to exercise or exploit,  any of the
Rights granted hereunder.  The Rights granted by Owner to Producer hereunder are
in  addition  to,  and this  Agreement  shall in no way limit,  the rights  with
respect to the  Screenplay or the subject  matter thereof which Producer may now
or hereafter enjoy as a member of the general public.

     5.  Representations  and Warranties.  Owner hereby  represents and warrants
that:

     (a) to the best of Owner's knowledge,  the Screenplay was written solely by
and is original with Author;
<PAGE>
     (b) to the  best of  Owner's  knowledge,  neither  the  Screenplay  nor any
element thereof infringes the copyright in any other work;

     (c) to the  best of  Owner's  knowledge,  neither  the  Screenplay  nor its
exploitation  will  violate the rights to privacy or  publicity of any person or
constitute  a  defamation  against any  person,  or in any other way violate the
rights of any person whomsoever;

     (d) Owner owns all rights assigned to Producer free and clear of any liens,
encumbrances, other third party interests of any kind;

     (e) Owner  has full  right and  power to make and  perform  this  Agreement
without the consent of any third party;

     (f) the Screenplay has not previously been exploited as a motion picture or
television production;  and

     (g) Owner is free to enter into this  agreement,  that Owner is not subject
to any conflicting  obligations or any disability  which will or might interfere
with the execution and  performance of this  agreement by Owner;  that Owner has
not made, and Owner will not make,  any grant or assignment  which will or might
conflict with or impair the complete and quiet  enjoyment of  Producer's  rights
hereunder.

     Owner will indemnify Producer against any and all liability, damages, costs
and  expenses,  including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  arising (i) out of any
breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, or (ii) out of any claim
alleging facts which if true would constitute such a breach, if such claim is of
a type not ordinarily  covered by a so-called errors and omissions or producer's
liability  insurance  policy.  Nothing  herein  contained  shall be construed to
require  Owner to warrant or indemnify  with respect to any material  other than
material  written by Author.  Producer shall indemnify Owner against any and all
liability, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in
connection with any claim or action respecting material supplied by Producer for
incorporation  into the  Screenplay,  or  incorporated  into the  Screenplay  by
employees or officers of Producer.

     Producer and Owner shall,  upon presentation of any claim or institution of
any action covered by the foregoing  indemnity  provisions,  promptly notify the
other of the  presentation  of such  claim or the  institution  of such  action,
giving full details thereof.

     The term "person" as used in this Agreement  shall means any person,  firm,
corporation or other entity.

     6. Additional  Instruments.  At Producer's request,  Owner will execute all
additional  documents which Producer  reasonably deems necessary or desirable to
effectuate the purposes of this Agreement  (including,  without limitation,  the
short-form option and the short-form  assignment attached hereto as Exhibits "D"
and "E",  respectively).  In connection  therewith,  Owner agrees to execute and
return  said  attachments  simultaneously  with this  Agreement.  The short form
assignment  will be signed and not dated and Producer is  authorized to date and
file the same with the  Copyright  Office  immediately  upon the exercise of the
Option. Owner irrevocably appoints Producer as attorney-in-fact  with full power
to execute and deliver such  documents if Owner shall fail to do so upon request
by  Producer.  The  foregoing  appointment  shall  be a  power  coupled  with an
interest.
<PAGE>
     7. Credit. Author shall receive credit on screen and in paid advertising in
connection  with the Picture  pursuant to the credit  provisions  of the Writers
Guild of America Basic Agreement.  No casual or inadvertent  failure by Producer
to accord such credit, nor the failure for any reason by third parties to comply
with the  provisions  of this  paragraph,  shall be  deemed a breach  hereof  by
Producer.

     8. No  Equitable  Relief.  All rights  granted  and agreed to be granted to
Producer  under  this  Agreement   shall  be  irrevocably   vested  in  Producer
(including,  without  limitation,  for the  full  term of  copyright  protection
everywhere  in the world and any and all  renewals  thereof).  No breach of this
Agreement  shall  entitle  Owner to  equitable  relief,  whether  injunctive  or
otherwise,  against  the  Picture or any other  works  produced  pursuant to the
Rights herein granted. If the rights granted to Producer hereunder should revert
to Owner  pursuant to the provisions of any copyright law or similar law, and if
Owner is at any time thereafter prepared to enter into an agreement with a third
party  for the  license,  exercise  or other  disposition  of all or any of such
rights,  Owner shall, before entering into such agreement,  give Producer notice
of the  proposed  terms  thereof (and all  modifications  of such terms) and the
party  involved.  In each  instance,  Producer shall then have ten (10) business
