                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT made as of the 4th day of January 2000 by and between
MediaBay, Inc., a Florida corporation, with offices at 20 Community Place,
Morristown New Jersey 07960 (the "Company"), and Norton Herrick (the
"Executive").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the audio book club business; and

         WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the Executive's substantial
contribution to the growth and success of the Company and desires to provide for
his continued employment by reinforcing and encouraging his continued attention
and dedication to the Company; and

         WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to commit himself to continue to
serve and to establish a minimum period during which he will serve the Company
on the terms and conditions herein provided.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective
covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, in consideration of
the Executive's services and value to the Company over and beyond his
obligations as an employee, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties agree as follows:

         1. Recitals. The Whereas clauses recited above are hereby incorporated
by reference as though they were fully set forth herein.

         2. Employment. The Company shall employ the Executive and the Executive
shall serve the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

         3. Term. The commencement of term of the Executive's employment by the
Company as provided in paragraph 2 is retroactive to October 22, 1999 (the
expiration of the October 22, 1997 employment agreement between the Company and
the Executive) and ends on October 22, 2000, subject, however, to the other
termination provisions contained herein.

         4. Position and Duties. (a) The Executive shall be employed by the
Company as its Chairman and may also serve, at his option, as the Company's
Chairman of the Board of Directors. His power and authority shall be and remain
superior to those of any other officer or employee of the Company. Subject to
the direction and control of the Board of Directors, the Executive shall have
general strategic oversight and control of the business and affairs of the
Company consistent with his current position as Chairman of the Company. The
scope of his duties and the extent of his responsibilities shall be
substantially the same as the duties and responsibilities that the Executive
currently performs. In addition, the Executive shall not be required to spend
any fixed amount of time in connection with his performance of his duties.

<PAGE>

         5. Compensation and Related Matters.

            (a) Salary. During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay
to the Executive, as basic compensation for his services, an initial annual
salary of $100,000 in equal monthly installments during the term of this
Agreement; thereafter at any time during the term of this Agreement the Board of
Directors may increase, but not decrease such amount. In addition the Executive
shall be entitled to participate in the Company's incentive stock option plans
and may receive a performance-based bonus, to be determined by the Board of
Directors. The Executive's salary and bonus shall be reconsidered at least once
each fiscal year of the Company and shall not necessarily be limited to such
increases granted other officers.

            (b) Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt
reimbursement for all reasonable travel and business expenses in connection with
services performed hereunder in accordance with normal Company policy, as the
same may be determined from time to time.

            (c) Insurance and Employee Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled
to receive insurance and employee benefits applicable to all officers of the
Company.

         6. Termination by the Company. The Executive's employment hereunder may
be terminated by the Company without any breach of this Agreement only under the
circumstances described below.

            (a) Death. The Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon
his death.

            (b) Disability. If, as a result of the Executive's incapacity due to
physical or mental illness, as determined by a physician mutually chosen by the
Executive and the Company, the Executive shall have been absent from his duties
hereunder for a consecutive period of one hundred eighty (180) days and after
notice of termination is given (which may be given before or after the end of
such 180 day period but which will in no event be effective until, at the
earliest, the day following the one hundred eightieth (180th) day of the period)
shall not have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder, as that
concept is contemplated in this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after the
notice of termination is given, the Company may terminate the Executive's
employment hereunder.

            (c) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment
under this Agreement at any time for cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "cause" shall include one or more of the following: (i) willful misconduct
and continued failure by the Executive in the performance of his duties, as
contemplated in this Agreement, as Chief Executive Officer (other than through
disability as defined in paragraph 6(b), above), or (ii) conviction of a crime
involving moral turpitude, theft, embezzlement or continuing alcohol or drug
abuse to the extent that he is unable to perform the duties of his office. The

                                       2

<PAGE>

termination shall be evidenced by written notice thereof to the Executive, which
shall specify the cause for termination.

            (d) Without Cause. In addition to any other rights the Company has
to terminate the Executive's employment under this Agreement, the Company may,
at any time, by a vote of not less than seventy percent (70%) of the directors
then in office (excluding the vote of the Executive if he is also a director),
terminate the Executive without cause upon ninety (90) days' prior written
notice to the Executive setting forth the reasons, if any, for the termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term "without cause" shall mean termination
by the Company on any grounds other than those set forth in paragraphs 6(a), (b)
or (c) hereof.

            (e) Severance Pay. In the event that the Company has terminated the
Executive's employment under this Agreement "without cause" or in the event
there is a "Change of Control" (as defined below), then the Executive will be
entitled to receive severance pay equal to the greater of Six Hundred Thousand
and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($600,000.00) or six(6) times the total compensation
received by the Executive from the Company during the twelve (12) months prior
to the date of termination. In the event there is a "Change of Control" (as
defined below), the Executive will have six (6) months following the event which
constituted the "Change of Control" to elect to resign (unless in connection
with such event the Executive was terminated) at which time the Executive will
then receive the aforementioned severance pay.

            (f) Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of
Control" shall be deemed to occur, unless previously consented to in writing by
the Executive, upon (i) the actual acquisition or the execution of an agreement
to acquire twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting securities of the Company
by any person or entity not affiliated with the Executive (other than pursuant
to a bona fide underwriting agreement relating to a public distribution of
securities of the Company), (ii) the commencement of a tender or exchange offer
for more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting securities of the Company by
any person or entity not affiliated with the Executive, (iii) the commencement
of a proxy contest against the management for the election of a majority of the
Board of Directors of the Company if the group conducting the proxy contest
owns, has or gains the power to vote at least twenty percent (20%) of the voting
securities of the Company, (iv) a vote by the Board of Directors to merge,
consolidate, sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any
person or entity not affiliated with the Executive, or (v) the election of
directors constituting a majority of the Board of Directors who have not been
nominated or approved by the Executive.

            (g) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of
any payment provided for in this paragraph 6 by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this paragraph 6
be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of
employment by another employer or business or by profits earned by the Executive
from any other source at any time before and after the date of termination. The
amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement shall not be treated as

                                       3

<PAGE>

damages, but as severance pay to which the Executive is entitled by reason of
his employment and the circumstances contemplated by this Agreement.

            (h) The severance pay which the Executive will be entitled to
receive as a result of the termination of his employment under this Agreement,
shall not be the Executive's exclusive remedy in the event of such termination,
and the Executive will continue to be entitled to all other damages to which the
Executive may be entitled as a result to the termination of his employment under
this Agreement, including all legal fees and expenses incurred by him in
contesting or disputing any such termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce
any right or benefit provided by this Agreement.

         7. Non-Competition Covenant. The Executive hereby covenants and agrees
that he will not serve as an officer of or perform any equivalent functions for
any other audio book company during the term of his employment under this
Agreement. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence is intended to be
construed as otherwise preventing the Executive from (i) engaging in other
business activities, (ii) holding positions in charitable organizations, (iii)
purchasing, holding or owning interests in other entities and/or serving as a
director and/or officer of other corporations, or serving as a manager of
limited liability companies or a general partner of partnerships, or (iv) having
any other interest in other businesses. In addition, during the term of this
Agreement and for a period of two (2) years immediately following the
termination of his employment, whether said termination is occasioned by the
Company, the Executive or a mutual agreement of the parties, the Executive shall
not, for himself or on behalf of any other person, persons, firm, partnership,
corporation or company, engage or participate in any activities which are in
direct conflict with the interests of the Company or solicit or attempt to
solicit the business or patronage of any person, firm, corporation, company or
partnership, which had previously been a customer of the Company, for the
purpose of selling products and services similar to those provided by the
Company.

         8. Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted under the corporate
laws of the State of Florida or, if more favorable, the Articles of
Incorporation and/or By-Laws of the Company as in effect on the date of this
Agreement, (a) the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company, as provided under such corporate laws or such Articles of Incorporation
and/or By-Laws, as applicable, for any and all actions taken or matters
undertaken, directly or indirectly, in the performance of his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement or otherwise on behalf of the Company, and
(b) without limiting clause (a), the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Executive from and against (i) any claim, loss, liability, obligation,
damage, cost, expense, action, suit, proceeding or cause of action
(collectively, "Claims") arising from or out of or relating to the Executive's
acting as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any of its
affiliates or in any other capacity, including, without limitation, any
fiduciary capacity, in which the Executive serves at the request of the Company,
and (ii) any cost or expense (including, without limitation, fees and
disbursements of counsel) (collectively, "Expenses") incurred by the Executive
in connection with the defense or investigation thereof. If any Claim is
asserted or other matter arises with respect to which the Executive believes in

                                       4

<PAGE>

good faith the Executive is entitled to indemnification as contemplated hereby,
the Company shall pay the Expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with
the defense or investigation of such Claim or matter (or cause such Expenses to
be paid) on a monthly basis.

         9. Binding Agreement. This Agreement and all rights of the Executive
hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's
personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, divisees and legatees. In addition, this Agreement and the
obligations and rights of the Company hereunder shall be binding on any person,
firm or corporation which is a successor-in-interest to the Company.
