     the monetary value thereof.

     considerations  earned by Artist  during the term  hereof  with  respect to

     monies and other considerations collected hereunder. Artist shall keep true

     any, for and during such monthly periods and the source and nature thereof,
     accompanied by payment of any monies shown to be due to Artist.

          c.  Artist  shall  be  deemed  to  have  consented  to  all  payments,

     rights  granted to Manager under this  agreement with respect to Artist are

     value,  and,  in the event of the  breach by Artist of any  material  term,
     condition,  covenant, warranty or representation herein contained,  Manager
     shall be caused irreparable harm for which the remedy at law is inadequate.
     Accordingly,  Manager shall be entitled to seek  preliminary  and permanent

     which  Manager  deems  appropriate.

          b. Artist and Manager  agree to hereby  indemnify,  save and hold each

     Artist or Manager in this  agreement  and which result in a final  judgment
     against the indemnified  party or is settled with the prior written consent
     of the indemnifying  party. The indemnifying  party agrees to reimburse the
     indemnified  party,  on demand,  for any payments  made by the  indemnified
     party at any time after the date hereof with  respect to any  liability  to
     which the foregoing  indemnify  applies.  The indemnifying party shall have

obtaining  such policies,  including  submitting to a physical  examination,  if
necessary.

     14. In order to make specific and definite or/or to eliminate, if possible,
any controversy which may arise between Manager and Artist hereunder, Artist and
Manager  agree that if at any time either  believes  that the material  terms of

complaining party will so notify the other in writing, of the specific nature of

time after  receipt  thereof  within which to cure such claimed  nonperformance.
