FIRST LOOK AGREEMENT

Agreement dated as of June 20, 2000 ("Agreement") between THE LITTLE FILM
COMPANY, INC. ("Lender"), a Delaware corporation, and OVERSEAS FILMGROUP, INC.
("Company"), a Delaware corporation.

1. ENGAGEMENT: Lender agrees to submit to Company in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof all Artist Submissions (as defined herein) and furnish to
Company the services of Ellen Little ("Artist") in connection with the
development and possible production of theatrical motion pictures based upon
accepted Artist Submissions ("Picture(s)").

2. TERM:

     a. Term: 3 years (the "Term") commencing on June 20, 2000.

     b. Post-Term Services: If any Picture is in production or is committed to
production upon the expiration of the Term, Artist shall continue to render
services thereon until completion of such services or Company's abandonment of
such Picture, without further payment to Lender except for such sums, if any,
which are applicable pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof. Within ten (10) business
days prior to the conclusion of the Term, Company shall deliver written
notification to Artist setting forth those of Artist's development projects that
Company intends to continue developing beyond the Term, and such projects shall
remain the property of Company subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof
(other than Artist's entitlements under Paragraph 9 below). Any project not
specified as a development project in such notification from Company shall be
deemed abandoned hereunder and shall be subject to the turnaround provisions
hereof.

3. ARTIST SUBMISSIONS:

     a. Exclusive Artist Submissions: During the Term, Lender and Artist shall
submit exclusively to Company all properties or projects which Lender and/or
Artist (or any affiliated or related party) owns, controls, originates, has the
right to submit, or in which Lender and/or Artist or any affiliated or related
party has acquired or has the right to acquire an interest or contemplates
acquiring an interest for development or production in any and all media,
including without limitation as a theatrical motion picture, television,
videogram (including videocassette, CD-Rom and DVD), live stage or
Internet-based or other on-line production ("Artist Submission(s)"). Artist's
existing properties and projects are specified on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

     b. Accepted/Rejected Submissions: Within thirty (30) calendar days
following the submission to Company of a project in accordance with this
Agreement, Company shall advise Lender whether or not Company has elected to
approve such Artist Submission for development. If Lender notifies Company that
a project is a "Hot Property", the foregoing thirty (30) calendar days shall be
reduced to (a) five (5) business days, if the project is a fully developed film
or television project which is being submitted for production financing (Lender
acknowledges and agrees that no more than twenty percent (20%) of projects
submitted for production financing in any twelve month period shall be Hot
Properties) and (b) three (3) business days, if the project is being submitted
for acquisition of rights or development (e.g., a screenplay for development or
option for an underlying work). If Company notifies Lender that it does not
desire to accept such Artist Submission for development or does not respond to

<PAGE>

such Artist Submission within the foregoing period, Company will be deemed to
have rejected such Artist Submission for development hereunder (i.e., Company
shall be deemed to have "passed") and Lender and Artist shall be free to submit
and develop such rejected Artist Submission elsewhere subject to the terms
hereof. If, during the Term there are any material changes or additions to the
elements of a project rejected or deemed rejected by Company hereunder (i.e., a
material change in the storyline or a change in the principal actor, director or
the producer tied to such project when same was rejected by Company, the
material terms of Artist's engagement (if less favorable to Artist), or an
increase or decrease in the budget of 10% or more) prior to such project being
set up for development, production or otherwise with a third party, Lender shall
resubmit such project to Company prior to submission to a third party and
Company shall have the right for ten (10) days after receipt of such
resubmission to accept the project. If Company fails to notify Lender of its
election to accept or reject such resubmission within the prescribed period,
then Company shall be deemed to have rejected such resubmitted project and
Lender and Artist shall be free to submit and develop such resubmitted project
elsewhere subject to the terms hereof (provided that the foregoing changed
elements procedure shall apply if any further material changes or additions to
the project are made during the Term prior to placement of such project
elsewhere). Development or production of any accepted Artist Submission shall
proceed upon such terms and conditions as Company shall reasonably approve.
Following the acceptance by Company of an Artist Submission, Lender and/or
Artist shall assign to Company any and all rights then owned or thereafter
acquired by Lender and/or Artist in such accepted Artist Submission by
documentation reasonably satisfactory to Company and all rights (including
copyrights) in such projects shall be in the name of Company. For the avoidance
of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the provisions of Paragraph 3(c) below
shall govern the terms under which Lender may set up with a third party any
Artist Submission which has utilized the development fund set forth in Paragraph
9(b) below and for which Company has "passed" in accordance with this Paragraph
3(b).

     c. Abandoned Submissions: If Company (i) "passes" on an Artist Submission
which has utilized the development fund described in Paragraph 9(b) below, or
(ii) accepts and later abandons an Artist Submission, Lender shall have the
right to set such project up with a third party, subject to the "Changed
Elements" provision set forth in the turnaround schedule attached hereto as
Exhibit "B" ("Turnaround Schedule") and Lender's and Artist's obligations as set
forth in Paragraph 5(c) below.

connection with the applicable Picture), including, without limitation,
supervision of the screenplay materials required by Company. Artist's
development services shall be rendered on a non-exclusive basis.

8. PICTURE COMPENSATION:

     a. If Company elects to proceed to production of a theatrical motion
picture hereunder and provided that neither Lender nor Artist is in material
breach of this Agreement, Company shall pay Lender, as full and complete
consideration for all of the services of Artist and for all rights granted to
Company, a fixed producing fee ("Fixed Producing Fee") and contingent
compensation with respect to such Picture in amounts to be mutually negotiated
in good faith, taking into consideration (without limitation) the services to be
rendered by Artist in connection with such Picture, the production budget and
the terms of the financing therefor, provided that in no event shall (i) the
Fixed Producing Fee be less than an amount equal to three and one quarter
percent (3.25%) of the "all-in" budget for the applicable Picture (excluding
from such budget only the Fixed Producing Fee) (with a floor of $150,000 and a
ceiling of $500,000), except as provided in Paragraph 8(b) below, or (ii) the
contingent compensation be less than ten percent (10%) of Company Gross Receipts
(as defined below) in excess of Company Breakeven (as defined below).

     b. The parties acknowledge and agree that any budget for a given Artist
project prepared by Company and/or Artist shall include (i) a Fixed Producing
Fee in an amount to be determined in accordance with Paragraph 8(a) above, and
(ii) the Allocated Lender Overhead referenced in Paragraph 9(c) below. If such
Artist project is to be produced with third-party financing, Artist and Company
shall use all reasonable efforts to secure any such third-party financing on the
basis of a budget including such Fixed Producing Fee and Allocated Lender
Overhead, and Company shall fully support the inclusion of such amounts in the
budget. Solely in the event that, notwithstanding all reasonable efforts of
Company and Artist, the third-party financier refuses to recognize Lender's

                                       4

<PAGE>

Fixed Producing Fee and/or the Allocated Lender Overhead in the applicable
budget, Company shall have the right to reduce or eliminate such items from the
budget; provided, however, that Lender's Fixed Producing Fee shall not be
reduced unless any budgeted production fee to Company ("Company Production Fee")
is also reduced by the same proportionate amount (e.g., if Lender's Fixed
Producing Fee is to be reduced by one-half, then any budgeted Company Production
Fee shall also be reduced by one-half), and, provided further, that in the event
such reduction or elimination of Lender's Fixed Producing Fee has not been
approved by Artist, the following shall apply: (x) Company shall advance to
Lender (from Company's own funds, and not out of the applicable budget) the
amount ("Lender Advance"), if any, by which $150,000 exceeds the amount (if any)
of Lender's Fixed Producing Fee approved by the third-party financier for
inclusion in the applicable budget, and (y) the amount ("Lender Deferment") by
which Lender's Fixed Producing Fee specified in Artist's original budget for the
applicable Picture exceeds the sum of Lender's Fixed Producing Fee approved by
the third-party financier plus the Lender Advance (if any) paid by Company to
Lender shall be paid to Lender as a deferment prior to Company Breakeven, as
provided in Paragraph 8(d) below. The Lender Advance and the amount (if any) of
Allocated Lender Overhead eliminated from the budget ("Deferred Lender
Overhead") and the amount (if any) of the Company Production Fee eliminated from
the budget ("Company Deferment") pursuant to the foregoing shall all be treated
as deferred production cost items to be recouped by Company as provided in
Paragraph 8(d) below.

     c. For purposes hereof, (i) "Company Gross Receipts" shall mean 100% of all
monies or other consideration received by or credited to Company (and any
affiliate) from financing, production, distribution and exploitation of the
Picture and all rights therein (including any Company Production Fee, but only
to the extent such Company Production Fee exceeds Lender's Fixed Producing Fee
for the applicable project, and excluding any revenues subject to refund or
forfeiture or any returnable advances or returnable deposits until earned), net
of any and all third-party entitlements with respect to such Company Gross
Receipts, and (ii) "Company Distribution Fee" shall mean a percentage fee in an
amount to be negotiated in good faith by Lender and Company at the time the
applicable project is committed to production (which shall be consistent with
normal industry standards for an artificial breakeven participation for
producers of Artist's stature and which shall not be less than 15%), which fee
shall apply (A) solely in the event Company self-distributes the Picture
theatrically in the United States, and (B) solely with respect to monies
received by Company from United States distribution and exploitation of the
Picture in any and all media (now known or hereafter devised).

     d. Company Gross Receipts shall be allocated and paid as follows, in the
indicated order of priority:

          (i)  First, solely with respect to Company Gross Receipts derived from
               any Picture for which Lender's Fixed Producing Fee (A) has not
               been reduced or eliminated from the budget, or (B) has been
               reduced or eliminated from the budget with Artist's approval,
               Company shall deduct and retain the Company Distribution Fee;

          (ii) Second, Company shall deduct and retain an amount equal to
               Company's out-of-pocket production and distribution costs
               (including any unpaid Company liability for production and/or

                                       5
<PAGE>

               distribution costs) for the applicable Picture (to the extent not
               reimbursed to Company out of the production budget for the
               applicable Picture) ("Costs");

         (iii) Third, Company shall deduct and retain an amount equal to
               interest on Costs computed at prime plus 2%;

          (iv) Fourth, remaining Company Gross Receipts shall be allocated and
               paid (A) 50% to Lender in payment of the Lender Deferment (if
               any) for the Picture and the Lender Deferments (if any) for any
               other Artist projects produced hereunder, to the extent not paid
               to Lender from Company Gross Receipts derived from any other
               Artist project produced hereunder, and (B) 50% to Company in
               reimbursement of any Lender Advance, any Company Deferment and
               any Deferred Lender Overhead for the Picture, together with any
               Lender Advances, Company Deferments and any Deferred Lender
               Overhead for any other Artist projects produced hereunder, to the
               extent not reimbursed to Company from Company Gross Receipts
               derived from any other Artist project produced hereunder. Upon
               the earlier of full payment to Lender of the items specified in
               (A) above or full payment to Company of the items specified in
               (B) above, remaining Company Gross Receipts shall be allocated
               and paid 100% to Lender or Company (as applicable) until full
               payment of all of the items specified in (A) and (B) above;

          (v)  Fifth, solely with respect to remaining Company Gross Receipts
               derived from any Picture for which Lender's Fixed Producing Fee
               has been reduced or eliminated from the budget without Lender's
               approval, Company shall deduct and retain the Company
               Distribution Fee;

          (vi) Sixth, Company shall deduct and retain an amount equal to the
               greater of (A) 20% of Costs plus 20% of the amount of Lender
               Advances, Company Deferments and Deferred Overhead recouped by
               Company under Paragraph 8(d)(iv) above, or (B) $250,000; and

         (vii) Seventh, the balance of Company Gross Receipts shall be defined
               as Company Gross Receipts in excess of "Company Breakeven";
               provided, however, that solely for the purposes of computing
               Company Breakeven hereunder, the sum of the Company Production
               Fee (if any) and the Company Deferment (if any) for a Picture
               shall be deemed not to exceed the sum of Lender's Fixed Producing
               Fee (if any), the Lender Advance (if any) and the Lender
               Deferment (if any) for such Picture.

     Company shall be entitled to maintain a reasonable reserve from Company
Gross Receipts for reasonable anticipated costs payable within one year from the
time withheld and such reserve shall be liquidation within 12 months.

     e. For the producing services of Artist on any form of media production
hereunder other than a theatrical motion picture, Lender shall be entitled to a

                                    6

<PAGE>

fixed production fee and contingent compensation which shall be negotiated in
good faith in accordance with normal industry standards and parameters.

9. ADVANCE/OFFICE SPACE:

     a. Advance: During the Term and provided that neither Lender nor Artist is
in material breach of this Agreement, Company shall pay to Lender a
non-refundable "all-in" advance of $100,000 per year (payable in equal
installments (not less than monthly) over such year), which advance shall be
applicable against the Fixed Producing Fees, the Lender Advances (if any), the
Lender Deferments (if any) and Lender's contingent compensation (if any) accrued
and payable at any time hereunder.

     b. Development Fund: During the Term, Company shall make available to
Lender a discretionary revolving development fund of $100,000 for Lender's use
in option/acquisition of literary properties, engagement of writers and other
customary development costs as determined by Artist in her sole discretion. The
development fund shall be automatically replenished by the amount expended on
the applicable project upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reimbursement of the
applicable costs (if any) relating to a rejected Artist Submission to Company
upon Lender placing such rejected Artist Submission elsewhere for development,
production or otherwise, and/or (ii) the earlier to occur of (A) Company's
election to proceed to production of a Picture and Company securing the full
production financing required for the applicable Picture, or (B) the
commencement of principal photography of such Picture, and/or (iii) turnaround
reimbursement of the applicable costs to Company. For the avoidance of doubt,
any expenditures on a project following Company's approval of such project for
development shall be deemed made by Company from its own funds and not by Artist
from the development fund.

     c. Allocation of Overhead: Company shall add to the budget and include in
the negative cost of each project produced hereunder all overhead costs and
charges (including a reasonable allocation of the cost of Company office space
provided to Lender hereunder). If there is no next project, then all accumulated
overhead shall be charged back to the preceding project(s). If more than one
project is produced, then overhead costs shall be equally allocated among all
projects. The amount of Lender's overhead allocated to a given project is herein
referred to as the "Allocated Lender Overhead." If a project is abandoned by
Company and subsequently set up elsewhere, then all of the pro-rata costs of
Lender's overhead (equally allocated among all of Lender's projects) shall be
allocated to such abandoned project and Company shall be reimbursed for such
costs as set forth in the attached Exhibit "B".

     d. Office Space/Staff/Expenses: During the Term, Company shall provide
Artist with (i) appropriate office space, office expenses and parking, (ii) two
(2) staff employees (i.e., a senior assistant and a junior assistant, both to be
employed by Company), (iii) home office expenses (including home telephone and
fax), (iv) car allowance, and (v) reasonable first class travel expenses as
required by Artist (including travel expenses for film markets and festivals
such as Cannes, Toronto, Sundance, etc.); provided, however, that items (i)
through (v) above shall not exceed $150,000 for each year of the Term.

     e. Health Benefits/Pension Plan: Company shall furnish or reimburse Artist
for health benefits and pension plan benefits generally available to Company's
employees.

10. CREDIT:

     a. On each Picture produced hereunder for which Lender and Artist
substantially perform all of their material services and obligations hereunder,
Artist shall be accorded a production credit and producer credit, respectively,
each on a separate card on screen and in paid ads issued by Company or under
Company's control, the size, placement and nature of which shall be in
accordance with Company's customary parameters, subject only to such changes as
are mutually negotiated in good faith. The paid ad credits shall be subject to
Company's standard exceptions and exclusions, provided that, except for award,
congratulatory or nomination ads mentioning only the honoree: (i) Artist's
production credit shall be accorded wherever any presentation, "film by" or
other production credit is accorded, and (ii) Artist's producer credit shall be
accorded wherever any other producer, executive producer or other producer-type
credit is accorded. Company may accord other production and/or producer credits
on any such Picture (i.e., in addition to Artist's production and producer
credits) at Company's sole discretion.

     b. Company's inadvertent failure to accord credit in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement; provided
that upon receipt of written notice from Artist specifying a material failure to
accord Artist credit properly in accordance with this Agreement, Company shall
use reasonable efforts promptly to cure prospectively such material failure with
regard to ads and/or positive prints created after the date of such notice and,
to the extent possible, versions of any other medium whose masters were not
created prior to the receipt of such notice. Company shall use reasonable
efforts to cause all third-party distributors and licensees to comply with
Artist's credit entitlements hereunder.

11. APPROVALS AND CONTROLS: Company shall have all approvals and controls and
the right to initiate action and control access at any time and in any
connection with respect to any Picture, including the right to designate the
production manager and production auditor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
subject to applicable union and guild requirements, and provided Artist is
reasonably available (including by telephone) to so consult, Artist shall have
the specified consultation rights set forth below, the exercise of which shall
be in conjunction with all other individuals accorded consultation and/or
approval rights in connection with the applicable Picture:

     a. Key Production Elements: Artist shall have a right of consultation, with
Company's decisions controlling, as to designation of the final draft

consultation, with Company's decisions controlling, as to selection of the key
creative elements (including without limitation the director and cast, composer

     c. Advertising Campaign and Distribution Pattern: Whenever Company itself
acts as the theatrical distributor in the United States, or otherwise has such
consultation rights vis-a-vis any third-party distributor, Artist shall have a
right of consultation, with Company's decisions controlling, as to the initial

                                       8
<PAGE>

advertising campaign (including without limitation festival screenings) and
initial distribution pattern for the theatrical exhibition of the applicable
Picture in the United States.

12. E&O/GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE: Lender and Artist shall be insured by the
errors and omissions and general liability insurance policies for the applicable
Picture to the extent that Company obtains and maintains same and subject to the
terms, conditions and restrictions of such policies and endorsements thereto.
Company shall defend and indemnify Lender and Artist from and against any and
all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Claims") arising from or relating to
development, production, distribution and/or exploitation of the projects,
motion pictures and television programs developed or produced hereunder,
excluding Claims covered by Lender and Artist's indemnity obligation under the
long-form agreement contemplated to be entered into pursuant to Paragraph 13(h)

13. MISCELLANEOUS:

     a. Headings: Paragraph or other headings contained herein are for
convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

     b. Remedies: Lender and Artist recognize that in the event of a breach by
Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the damage (if any) caused to
Lender or Artist thereby would not be irreparable or sufficient to entitle
Lender or Artist to injunctive or other equitable relief. Lender and Artist,
therefore, agree that their rights and remedies shall be limited to the right,
if any, to obtain damages at law and that neither Lender nor Artist shall have
the right in such event to terminate or rescind this Agreement or to enjoin or
restrain the distribution or exhibition of any picture produced hereunder or any
rights derived therefrom or ancillary thereto.

Agreement or any part thereof may come up for construction, interpretation or
enforcement.

party hereto relating to this Agreement shall be instituted and prosecuted
within the Federal and State courts situated within the City and State of New
York, and the parties hereby agree and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of
such courts for such purposes.

     e. No Partnership: Nothing herein contained shall be construed to create a
partnership or joint venture among the parties hereto or to make any of the
parties the agent of the other, except as expressly stated herein. None of the
parties shall be or become liable or bound by any representation, act, omission

     g. Miscellaneous: This Agreement is complete and embraces the entire
understanding of and between the parties, and all prior understandings, either
oral or written, in connection with the subject matter herein contained having
been merged herein. This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified in
any respect except by an instrument signed by the party to be charged. This
Agreement may not be assigned in whole or in part by Lender or Artist (other
than to a loanout company or other entity affiliated with Artist) without
Company's prior written approval. Company shall, upon written notice to Lender,
have the right to assign any and all rights Company may have in and to one or
more of the projects and the rights therein to any person or entity, but Company
shall not be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to such
project(s) in the event of such assignment, unless such party assumes such
obligations in writing and is a "major" motion picture or distribution company
(as these terms are commonly understood in the entertainment industry today) or
is a television network or any financially responsible party of whom Lender or
Artist approves (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Company
shall have the right to assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time,
to any party which substantially controls Company or which through merger,
consolidation or acquisition succeeds to substantially all of the assets of
Company and assumes Company's obligations hereunder, in which event Company
shall be released from any further liability with respect to its obligations
under this Agreement. Company shall also have the right to assign this Agreement
in whole or in part, at any time, to any party which is substantially controlled
by or is under common control with Company; provided, however, Company shall not
be released from its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment in
violation of this paragraph shall be null and void.

     h. Long-Form Agreement: The parties intend to enter into a long-form
agreement which shall incorporate the foregoing terms and other terms and
conditions standard in the motion picture and television industries (including
without limitation, relating to representations, warranties and indemnity,
suspension and termination, force majeure, and insurance), which shall be
negotiated in good faith within normal industry parameters. Unless and until
such long form agreement is executed by the parties, this Agreement shall be
fully binding when signed by the parties.

                                   EXHIBIT "B"

                               TURNAROUND SCHEDULE

This Exhibit "B" is incorporated into that certain Agreement ("First Look
Agreement") dated as of June 20, 2000 between Overseas Filmgroup, Inc.
("Company") and The Little Film Company, Inc. ("Producer") pertaining to one or
more possible theatrical and television motion pictures (the "Pictures").

1. If Company elects to abandon the Picture, then Producer shall have the
exclusive right for eighteen (18) months from the date of abandonment (the
"Turnaround Period") to place the Picture elsewhere and acquire all of Company's
right, title and interest in and to the Picture, subject to all existing
agreements, obligations, liabilities, and commitments pertaining thereto, by
reimbursing Company as provided below and complying with all other terms and
conditions herein.

2. If during the Turnaround Period the Picture is placed elsewhere by Producer
for development, production, or otherwise, then contemporaneously therewith
Company shall be reimbursed for all development costs, advances, payments and
the applicable Allocated Lender Overhead (as defined in the First Look
Agreement) (collectively referenced herein as "Costs") in connection with the
Picture. Upon commencement of principal photography of such Picture, Company
shall be paid an amount equal to the accrued interest on such Costs from the
time an item of Cost was paid, incurred or charged, at an annual rate equal to
one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the U.S. prime rate of the Bank of
America (the "Accrued Interest Rate"), as such rate may vary from time to time,
until the date such Cost is reimbursed to Company hereunder. In addition,
Company shall be paid contingent consideration (under a written agreement in a
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Company) in an amount equal to 5%
of 100% of the net profits of the Picture. "Net Profits" shall be defined,
calculated, and paid in accordance with the net profit definition negotiated by
Producer and the third party financier and/or distributor of the Picture, except
that no "overbudget addback" or cross-collateralization provision applicable to
the Picture or allocation to or recoupment of Producer's overhead shall apply as
to Company. In the absence of any such definition of "net profits", then such
definition shall be subject to good faith negotiation between Company and the
third-party financier and/or distributor of the Picture. Producer shall also
furnish to Company an indemnity and assumption agreement (in a form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Company) signed by a financially
responsible party (as Company so reasonably determines), covering all
agreements, obligations, liabilities, and commitments in connection with the
Picture. Upon satisfaction of all the foregoing terms and conditions, Company
shall quitclaim its right, title, and interest in the Picture to Producer (or
its designee).

3. During the Turnaround Period, Producer shall notify Company of any changed,
additional, or new elements pertaining to the Picture (e.g., a change of any
principal cast member or director, a material change in the screenplay or a
storyline, a change of 10% or more in the budget or a material change in the
financial terms of the deal less favorable to Producer than those contained in
the First Look Agreement or than those last presented to Company ) (collectively
referenced as "Changed Elements"). Company shall have ten (10) business days
within which to accept such Changed Elements and thereby terminate the
Turnaround Period and resume active development of the Picture. Company shall
not be required to accept any such Changed Elements which cannot be as easily

                                       13
<PAGE>

met by one person as another. If Company accepts such Changed Elements and
resumes active development of the Picture, then Producer shall resume rendering
services under the terms and conditions contained in the First Look Agreement.
Producer shall not be required to serve notice on Company of any Changed Element
after the Company has quitclaimed all of its rights, title and interest in the
Picture.

4. If at any time (whether before, during or after the Turnaround Period),
Company or Producer fails to extend or exercise an option, if any, to any
underlying property upon which the Picture is to be based, then (i) Producer's
rights hereunder shall terminate upon the earlier of the expiration of such
option or of the Turnaround Period; and (ii) any rights which Producer may
thereafter acquire in such underlying property, whether directly or indirectly,
shall be deemed held in trust by Producer for Company's benefit until Company is
fully reimbursed, as herein provided.

5. If the Picture is not placed elsewhere and/or if Producer has not complied
with the terms and conditions set forth above (including, without limitation,
complete reimbursement to Company for Costs) by the expiration of the Turnaround
Period, then Producer's rights hereunder respecting the Picture shall terminate
and Company's ownership of the Picture and all underlying properties and rights
encompassed therein shall be absolute as between Company and Producer. Company,
upon expiration of the Turnaround Period, may use, dispose, and otherwise
exploit such underlying properties, rights, and the Picture as Company
determines in its sole discretion, without any further obligation to Producer
respecting the Picture.

6. During the Turnaround Period, there shall be a first and prior lien on the
Picture in favor of Company until Company is fully reimbursed for costs and
interests thereon as specified herein.NOTE AND DEBT CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
