Dear Jim:

It is with great pleasure that we confirm our offer to you of the position of
President, Playboy Entertainment Group and Executive Vice President, Playboy
Enterprises, Inc. You will be reporting directly to Christie Hefner. You will be
based at the Playboy offices in Los Angeles, although you will be expected to do
such traveling as may be necessary and appropriate for the performance of your
duties.

You will be paid a base salary of $575,000 effective November 8, 2000 through
December 31, 2001, to be paid on a biweekly basis on our normal payroll dates.
Effective January 1, 2002, your base salary will be increased to $600,000 and
effective January 1, 2003, your base salary will be increased to $625,000.

You will be entitled to participate in a Board approved incentive plan with a
maximum annual opportunity of 100% of your base salary. The approved plan will
provide for a 60% payout at plan. (Entertainment Group Operating Income)

You will be eligible for an additional bonus in calendar 2001 only with a
maximum opportunity of $100,000. The bonus will be based on milestones relating
to the achievement of business plan objectives. The bonus, if earned, will be
payable immediately after the close of the first quarter 2001 and will be based
on the achievement of the following milestones:

      Milestones to be completed by the end of the first quarter, 2001

      o     Develop the Three-Year Plan for Playboy Entertainment Group.

      o     Communicate PEI's programming base issues to PTVI to provide a
            framework for renewing the negotiations to amend the PTVI Agreement.

      o     Roll out monthly Playboy TV subscription option to MSOs, including
            appropriate programming and marketing efforts.

      o     Launch Spice Platinum and Spice Live and/or negotiate a Califa/Vivid
            TV deal.

<PAGE>

For 2001, you will receive a grant of 15,000 options of Playboy's Class B stock
which will vest in equal installments over two years. The strike price will be
based on the stock's closing price on the day prior to the time of the grant
(which will take place at the Compensation Committee meeting on January 26,
2001).

You will be entitled to participate in the Playboy benefit plans that are made
available to employees at your grade level. While we cannot promise that these
plans will not change in the future, we can assure you that you will be treated
no less favorably than other executives at your level.

If you and Playboy are desirous of renewing this contract, those negotiations
will commence no later than six months prior to the expiration date and conclude
no later than four months prior to the expiration date. If Playboy does not
during these two months of negotiations offer to renew your employment contract
with at least comparable compensation, benefits, terms and duties as in that
current year, then you will be entitled to receive the "Termination Payment"
referenced below at the end of the contract term. Said Termination Payment will
not be paid to you if Playboy does offer you comparable compensation (with
similar increases), benefits, terms, and duties and you decide not to accept
said offer.

If you should be terminated at any time not for cause (as defined below), you
will be entitled to receive a guaranteed severance lump sum payment equal to
twelve months base salary at the salary you are receiving at the time of
termination ("Termination Payment"). This amount shall be reduced by any amounts
payable under your November 15, 2000 Change in Control Agreement with the
Company, as amended from time to time. "For cause" is defined as conviction of a
crime involving dishonesty, fraud or breach of trust, or engaging in conduct
materially injurious to Playboy.

You shall have the right by the delivery of written notice to Playboy to
terminate your employment under this Agreement and receive the Termination
Payment as a result of "Constructive Termination without Cause." Constructive
Termination without Cause shall mean termination by the Employee of his
employment following the occurrence of any of the following events without his
written consent:

      A.    Any reduction in your base salary;

      B.    Any material diminution in any of your duties, powers, authorities,
            functions, responsibilities, status of office or titles.

Any such Termination Payment will be in addition to any salary or other payments
due you through the effective date of such termination. If either A. or B above
is curable by Playboy, Playboy shall have fifteen business days after receipt of
such notice from you to so cure, in which case such termination shall be deemed
withdrawn and without any force or effect. If not cured, said Termination
Payment shall be paid promptly after the effective date of termination.

Although it is not intended and hopefully will never occur, Playboy recognizes
that the activities within the scope of your employment create the potential in
some jurisdictions of civil or even criminal actions being brought against you.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Playboy shall indemnify, defend, protect
and hold you harmless from and against all claims, demands, causes of action,
actions, suits, costs, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities, losses and
expenses, whether civil or criminal, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' and consultant's

                                       2
<PAGE>

fees and expenses arising out of or resulting from the performance of your
duties within the scope of your employment.

You will be entitled to whatever insurance benefits are made available to other
senior executives at your level including but not limited to D & O insurance, to
insure against any civil or criminal claims brought against you in the discharge
of your duties within the scope of your employment.

All memoranda, notes, records and other materials made or compiled by you, or
made available to you, in connection with and during your employment by Playboy
will remain the sole and exclusive property of Playboy. You acknowledge and
agree that all nonpublic information acquired about Playboy, and all material
reflecting such nonpublic information, is highly confidential and that
disclosure of such information or material could cause serious and irreparable
injury to Playboy, and that you will not hereafter disclose any such information
or make any such material available to anyone without the written consent of
Playboy, other than as required pursuant to an order of a court, governmental
agency or other authorized tribunal. For purposes of this paragraph, the term
"Playboy" includes any of Playboy's subsidiaries and affiliated and predecessor
companies, and its and their officers, directors, employees and agents.

You will not directly or indirectly disclose, discuss, disseminate, be the
source of or otherwise publish or communicate in any manner to any person or
entity any confidential information concerning the personal, social or business
activities of Playboy, its affiliate or the executives and principals and the
officers, directors, agents and employees of all the foregoing during or at any
time after the termination of your employment, other than as required pursuant
to an order of a court, governmental agency or other authorized tribunal. In
addition, you agree that without Playboy's express written approval in each
case, you will not:

      (i)   write, be the source of or contribute to any articles, stories,
            books, screenplays or any other communication or publicity of any
            kind (written or otherwise) or deliver lectures in any way regarding
            or concerning confidential information of Playboy, or

      (ii)  grant any interviews regarding or concerning confidential
            information of Playboy during or at any time after the termination
            of your employment.

For purposes of this the term "Playboy" includes any of Playboy's subsidiaries
and affiliated and predecessor companies, and its and their officers, directors,
employees and agents.

Playboy will pay to the firm of Reuben & Novicoff, your attorneys, upon
submission of a detailed invoice, up to $5,000 to cover your actual legal fees
(at your attorney's standard hourly rates) incurred in connection with the
negotiation of this agreement.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      AGREEMENT amended and restated as of December 6, 2000 by and between
AutoInfo, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Auto") and William Wunderlich residing
at 14 Frost Pond Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06903 ("Wunderlich").

      WHEREAS, Wunderlich and Auto are parties to that certain Employment
Agreement dated April 10, 1997 (the "Initial Agreement"), pursuant to which
Wunderlich is employed as the President and Chief Financial Officer of Auto; and

      WHEREAS, Auto desires to assure itself of the benefit of Wunderlich's
services and experience for a period of time and Wunderlich is willing to enter
into an agreement to that end with Auto; and

      WHEREAS, Auto and Wunderlich desire to amend and restate the Initial
Agreement upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

      1. Employment. Auto hereby employs Wunderlich as its Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer and Wunderlich hereby accepts such
employment and agrees to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Wunderlich
hereby resigns his position as President of Auto.

      2. Duties and Responsibilities. Wunderlich shall be the Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of Auto during the Employment Term (as
defined below). Wunderlich shall report to and be subject to the direction of
the President and Board of Directors (the "Board") of Auto and Wunderlich shall
perform such duties as may be assigned to him from time to time by the President
and Board; provided, that such duties shall be of a nature consistent with the
dignity and authority of the positions of Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. During the Employment Term Wunderlich shall, subject to
Auto's vacation policy (which shall provide Wunderlich with four (4) weeks of
fully paid vacation per annum), devote substantially all of his normal business
time and attention to the businesses of Auto and its subsidiaries and affiliates
and shall perform such duties in a diligent, trustworthy, loyal, businesslike
and efficient manner, all for the purpose of advancing the business of Auto and
its subsidiaries and affiliates. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to prohibit Wunderlich from devoting a nominal amount of his time to his
(and his family's) personal investments, provided, however, that, in case of
conflict, the performance of Wunderlich's duties under this Agreement shall take
precedence over his activities with respect to such investments.

      3. Term. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and
shall continue until December 31, 2003, unless terminated prior thereto in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof (the "Employment Term").

      4. Compensation. Auto shall pay to Wunderlich a salary at the rate of
$75,000 per year (the "Base Compensation"), payable in such manner as Auto shall
determine, but in no event any less often than monthly, less withholding
required by law and other deductions agreed to by Wunderlich. Wunderlich's
annual salary may be increased during the Employment Term in the sole discretion
of the Board.

      5. Bonus. In addition to the Base Compensation provided for in Paragraph 4
of this Agreement, Wunderlich shall during the Employment Term participate in
Auto's then existing and effective profit sharing and bonus plans. Furthermore,
Wunderlich shall receive such other bonuses as determined in the sole discretion
of

<PAGE>

the Board; provided, however, that for the year ending December 31, 2001, 2002
and 2003, in no event shall such bonus be less than an amount equal to ten
percent (10%) of Auto's consolidated combined pre-tax profit, excluding the
effect of any non-cash compensation based upon the issuance of stock options and
/ or warrants, (the "Operating Profit"), in excess of $100,000 and up to
$1,250,000. Commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2002, an amount equal
to five percent (5%) of the Operating Profit in excess of $25,000 for such
quarter then ended shall be paid, within fifty (50) days of the close of such
quarter, as an advance against the bonus for that calendar year. Such cumulative
interim advances shall be applied against the bonus as computed for the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2003. In the event the advances paid to Wunderlich
during 2002 and 2003 exceed the annual bonus payable to Wunderlich based upon
Auto's actual Operating Profit for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003,
Wunderlich shall promptly reimburse Auto an amount equal to the difference
between the amount of advances received during such year and the actual bonus,
if any, payable for such year.

      6. Principal Office. Without Wunderlich's consent, Auto shall not require
Wunderlich to maintain his principal office in any location other than within a
25 mile radius of Boca Raton, Florida. If Auto's executive offices shall be
relocated to any location outside of the 25 mile radius of Boca Raton, Florida,
Auto shall reimburse Wunderlich for any and all reasonable moving expenses
actually incurred by him. In addition, for the period commencing on the date
hereof and through August 31, 2001, Wunderlich shall maintain an office in
Stamford, Connecticut, where he shall spend approximately fifty percent (50%) of
his time. During this period, all reasonable costs associated with business
related travel between the Stamford and Boca Raton offices shall be borne by
Auto. Upon permanent relocation to the Boca Raton area, Wunderlich shall be
reimbursed for all reasonable relocation expenses in an amount not to exceed
$10,000.

      7. Expenses and Benefits.

            (a) Auto shall, consistent with Auto's policy of reporting and
reimbursement of business expenses, reimburse Wunderlich for such other ordinary
and necessary entertainment and business related expenses as shall be incurred
by Wunderlich in the course of the performance of his duties under this
Agreement.

            (b) Auto recognizes that Wunderlich will be required to incur
significant travel in rendering services to Auto hereunder and in connection
therewith Auto shall during the Employment Term provide Wunderlich with a
automobile allowance of $750 per month which the parties agree shall be used to
pay all of the expenses associated with the operation of an automobile
including, without limitation, maintenance, repair and insurance costs.

            (c) Wunderlich shall be entitled to participate, to the extent he
qualifies, in such life insurance, hospitalization, disability and other medical
insurance plans or programs as are generally made available to executive
officers of Auto.

      8. Termination and Termination Benefits.

            (a) Termination by Auto.

                  (i) For Cause. Not withstanding any provision contained
herein, Auto may terminate this Agreement at any time during the Employment Term
for "cause". For purposes of this subsection 8(a)(i), "cause" shall mean (1) the
continuing failure by Wunderlich to substantially perform his duties hereunder
for any reason other than total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental
illness, (2) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of

<PAGE>

Wunderlich in the performance of his duties hereunder that demonstrably cause
harm to Auto, and (3) the conviction of Wunderlich, by a court of competent
jurisdiction, of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude. Termination
pursuant to this subsection 8(a)(i) shall be effective immediately upon giving
Wunderlich written notice thereof stating the reason or reasons therefore with
respect to clauses (2) and (3) above, and 15 days after written notice thereof
from Auto to Wunderlich specifying the acts or omissions constituting the
failure and requesting that they be remedied with respect to clause (1) above,
but only if Wunderlich has not cured such failure within such 15 day period. In
the event of a termination pursuant to this subsection 8(a)(i), Wunderlich shall
be entitled to payment of his Base Compensation and the benefits pursuant to
Section 7 hereof up to the effective date of such termination.

                              (ii) Notwithstanding any provision contained
      herein, Auto may terminate this Agreement at any time during the
      Employment Term without "cause" upon 30 days' notice to Wunderlich. In the
      event of a termination pursuant to this subsection 8(a)(ii), Wunderlich
      shall be entitled to payment of his Base Compensation plus, upon
      determination of Annual Operating Profit, a pro rata portion of any
      bonuses earned pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof and the benefits pursuant to
      Section 7 hereof up to the effective date of such termination plus a
      severance payment equal to $75,000, which shall be payable in ten (10)
      equal monthly installments commencing on the date of termination.

                  (iii) Disability. If due to illness, physical or mental
disability, or other incapacity, Wunderlich shall fail, for a total 90 days
during any 120 day period ("Disability"), to substantially perform the principal
duties required by this Agreement, Auto may terminate this Agreement upon 30
days' written notice to Wunderlich; provided, however that if Wunderlich
commences to perform the duties required by this Agreement within such 30-day
period and performs such services for 25 out of 30 of the ensuing work days,
then such notice shall be void. In the event of a termination pursuant to this
subsection 8(a)(iii), Wunderlich shall be (1) paid his Base Compensation until
the termination date and, upon determination of Annual Operating Profit, a pro
rata portion of any bonus to which he would have been entitled for the year in
which such termination occurs, and (2) provided with employee benefits pursuant
to Section 7(c), to the extent available, for the remainder of the Employment
Term; provided, however, that any compensation to be paid to Wunderlich pursuant
to this subsection 8(a)(iii) shall be offset against any payments received by
Wunderlich pursuant to any policy of disability insurance the premiums of which
are paid for by Auto. Nothing herein shall be construed to violate any Federal
or State law including the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 27 U.S.C.S.
ss.2601 et seq., and the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C.S. ss.12101
et seq.

            (b) Termination by Wunderlich

                  (i) For Good Reason. Wunderlich may terminate this Agreement
at any time during the Employment Term for "good reason" upon 30 days' written
notice to Auto (during which period Wunderlich shall, if requested in writing by
Auto, continue to perform his duties as specified under this Agreement). "Good
Reason" shall mean: (1) Auto's failure to make any of the payments or provide
any of the benefits to Wunderlich under this Agreement; or (2) Auto's breach of
any material term of this Agreement; provided, however,

<PAGE>

that Auto has not cured, or made substantial efforts to cure, such failure or
breach within the aforementioned 30 day period. In the event of a termination of
this Agreement by Wunderlich for "good reason" pursuant to this subsection,
Wunderlich shall be paid a termination payment in the amount of $75,000, which
shall be payable in ten equal monthly installments commencing on the date of
termination.

                  (ii) Without Good Reason. Wunderlich may terminate this
Agreement at any time during the Employment Term for any reason upon 60 days'
written notice to Auto (during which period Wunderlich shall continue to perform
his duties as specified under this Agreement). In the event of a termination
pursuant to this subsection 8(b)(ii), Wunderlich shall be entitled to payment of
his Base Compensation and the benefits that had actually accrued up to the
effective date of such termination.

            (c) Stock Options and Other Benefits. In the event that Wunderlich
is terminated for reasons other than for "cause" or in the event Wunderlich
terminates this Agreement for "good reason", any stock options then held by
Wunderlich and/or any other benefits subject to specified vesting criteria,
shall immediately vest in Wunderlich; provided, however, all stock options then
held by Wunderlich and/or any other benefits subject to specified vesting
criteria shall expire and/or terminate 90 days after the date this Agreement is
terminated. The Company agrees to take such steps and to execute such documents
as shall be necessary to effectuate the foregoing.

            (d) Death Benefit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate on the date of Wunderlich's death. In
such event Auto shall pay Wunderlich's Base Salary to his wife, if she survives
him, or, if she does not survive him, in equal shares to his children who
survive him, through the end of the month in which such death occurs. In
addition, Auto shall pay to Wunderlich's wife, if she survives him, or, if she
does not survive him, in equal shares to his children who survive him, upon
determination of the Annual Operating Profit, a pro rata portion of any bonus to
which Wunderlich would have been entitled for the year in which such death
occurs.

            (e) No Mitigation. Wunderlich shall not be required to mitigate the
amount of any payments provided for by this Agreement by seeking employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided in this
Agreement be reduced by any compensation or benefit earned by Wunderlich after
termination of his employment.

      9. Non-Competition. Wunderlich covenants and agrees that during his
employment hereunder and (i) for a period of two years after his employment
hereunder is terminated, or (ii) the period after his employment hereunder is
terminated and during which Wunderlich actually receives severance payments, he
will not, without the prior written consent of Auto, (a) compete with the
business of Auto or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and, in particular, he
will not without such consent, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate,
finance, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation,
financing or control of, or be connected as a director, officer, employee,
partner, consultant or agent with, any business in competition with or similar
to the business of Auto or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; provided,
however, that Wunderlich may own up to two percent of the capital stock of any
publicly traded corporation in competition with the business of Auto or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates if the fair market value of such corporation's
outstanding capital stock

<PAGE>

exceeds $100 million, and (b) divert, take away, interfere with or attempt to
divert, take away or interfere with any present or former employee or customer
of Auto or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Except during any period that
Wunderlich is actually receiving severance payments, the provisions of this
Section 9 shall no longer be applicable if Wunderlich's employment is terminated
by Auto (other than for cause) or by Wunderlich pursuant to the provisions of
Section 8(b)(i) hereof during the Employment Term. In the event that the
provisions of this Section 9 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or
geographic limitations or any other limitations permitted by applicable law,
then such provisions shall be deemed reformed to the maximum permitted by
applicable law. Wunderlich acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing covenant
is an essential element of this Agreement and that, but for the agreement of
Wunderlich to comply with the covenant, Auto would not have entered into this
Agreement, and that the remedy at law for any breach of the covenant will be
inadequate and Auto, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be
entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of
proving actual damage.

      10. Confidential Information. Wunderlich recognizes and acknowledges that
the customer lists, patents, inventions, copyrights, methods of doing business,
trade secrets and proprietary information of Auto including, without limitation,
as the same may exist from time to time, are valuable, special and unique assets
of the business of Auto. Except in the ordinary course of business or as
required by law, Wunderlich shall not, during or after the Employment Term,
disclose any such list of customers or any part thereof, any such patents,
inventions, copyrights, methods of doing business, trade secrets or proprietary
information which are not otherwise in the public domain (other than as a result
of an act or omission of Wunderlich) to any person, firm, corporation or other
entity for any reason whatsoever. In addition, Wunderlich specifically
acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing
shall be inadequate and that AutoInfo and Auto, in addition to any other relief
available to them, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive
relief without the necessity of proving actual damage.

      11. COBRA. In the event of Wunderlich's death during the term of this
Agreement, Auto shall make all COBRA medical premium payments for Wunderlich's
family for the longer of (i) one (1) year following his death or (ii) the
balance of the Employment Term.

      12. Opportunities. During his employment with Auto, Wunderlich shall not
take any action which might divert from Auto or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates any opportunity which would be within the scope of any of the present
or future businesses of Auto or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

      13. Contents of Agreement, Parties in Interest, Assignment, etc. This
Agreement supercedes the Initial Agreement and sets forth the entire
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, except that the
duties and responsibilities of Wunderlich hereunder which are of a personal
nature shall neither be assigned nor transferred in whole or in party by
Wunderlich. This Agreement shall not be amended except by a written instrument
duly executed by Auto and Wunderlich.

      14. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be held
to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such term or provision shall be
ineffective to the extend of such invalidity or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining terms and provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall
be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable term or provision had not been
contained herein.

      15. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be
given hereunder by any party to the other party shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally, upon delivery by a
nationally recognized overnight courier service or five (5) days after dispatch
