                              AMENDED AND RESTATED

                          MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT")
is made as of February 28, 2005 by and between KES ACQUISITION COMPANY, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("KES"), and PINNACLE STEEL, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the "COMPANY").

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, KES and the Company are parties to that certain Management
Services Agreement (the "ORIGINAL AGREEMENT") dated as of September 3, 2003 (the
"EFFECTIVE DATE") with respect to the operation of that certain steel
"mini-mill" located at U.S. Route 60 West, Ashland, Kentucky (the "MILL"); and

     WHEREAS, KES and the Company desire to amend and restate the Original
Agreement on the terms provided herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings
herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE 1
                                      TERM

     1.1 TERM. Subject in all cases to the termination provisions set forth in
Section 9 below, the Company shall provide the services described in this
Agreement during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on
October 31, 2009 (such period, as extended in the manner described below, the
"TERM"); provided, however, that the term of this Agreement shall be extended
automatically by an additional twelve (12)-month period for each fiscal year
(i.e., a year ending September 30 or such other date as may be designated by KES
as the end of its fiscal year) during the initial five (5)-year period of the
Original Agreement (i.e., for any fiscal year ending on or before September 30,
2008) in which KES recognizes in excess of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000)
of EBITDA (defined in Section 4.1(b) below) (the "PROFIT TARGET"). For the
avoidance of doubt, but solely by way of example, unless this Agreement is
terminated earlier in accordance with Section 9 below, if KES recognizes in
excess of the Profit Target for one (1) fiscal year prior to and including the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, the term of this Agreement shall be
extended by one (1) fiscal year (i.e., from October 31, 2009 until October 31,
2010); if KES recognizes in excess of the Profit Target for two (2) fiscal years
prior to and including the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, the term of
this Agreement shall be extended by two (2) years (i.e., from October 31, 2009
to until October 31, 2011); and so on such that if the KES recognizes in excess
of the Profit Target for all five (5) of the fiscal years for the five (5)-year
period ending September 30, 2008, the Term will be extended by five (5) years.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the
Term extend beyond October 31, 2014 without the express written consent of the
parties.

                                    ARTICLE 2
                                    SERVICES

     2.1  ENGAGEMENT.

     (a) KES hereby appoints and engages the Company to provide the services
described in this Article 2 and in Article 3 below (the "SERVICES"), and the
Company hereby accepts such appointment and engagement upon the terms and
subject to the conditions provided for herein.

     (b) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, in
performing the Services and carrying out its duties hereunder, the Company
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform and provide the
Services in accordance with steel "mini-mill" industry practices. The Company
agrees to provide the Services in a manner consistent with, and of the same
nature as, the management services ordinarily provided by a management company
appointed to operate, and by the general manager and business advisors of a
facility of the type and size of, the Mill.

     2.2  SERVICES DURING THE TERM.

     (a) During the Term, the Company shall provide, at its expense, employees
of the Company to serve as the General Manager of the Mill (the "GM") and
provide oversight and general management of the operations of the Mill (the
persons performing the oversight and general management services shall be
referred to as the "ADVISORS").

     (b) The Services shall include all of those services, activities and
functions typically expected from a general manager of a "mini-mill" steel
company, including, without limitation, (i) management of the daily operations
of the Mill, (ii) hiring of all employees (on behalf of KES, as employer of such
employees) required to operate the Mill, (iii) procurement, at the expense of
KES, of all supplies and services required to operate the Mill, (iv) marketing
functions for the Mill, (v) sales functions for the Mill, (vi) obtaining, at the
expense of KES, all required governmental licenses and approvals to operate the
Mill and (vii) generally all operational requirements of the Mill; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any accounting or
financial functions for the Mill, which shall be provided by KES.

     (c) From time to time, the Company may recommend to KES new individuals to
fill the positions of GM or Advisors, which individuals shall have similar
credentials and abilities to the individuals being replaced; provided, however,
that any such replacements shall be subject to the approval of the Board of
Managers of KES (the "BOARD") or its authorized representative (the "BOARD
REPRESENTATIVE"), which approval shall not be withheld unreasonably. In
undertaking the Services, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the services
of the specific individuals providing the Services are unique and valuable to
KES.

     (d) The Company (including, without limitation, the GM and the Advisors)
shall at all times be subject to the authority of the Board and the Board
Representative.

     (e) The Company shall report to the Board, the Board Representative or a
designee of the Board Representative on a bi-weekly basis until December 31,
2005. Thereafter, the Company shall report to the Board, the Board
Representative or a designee of the Board

                                        2

Representative on a monthly basis. Such reports will be in such form and include
such items as the Board, the Board Representative or the designee of the Board
Representative reasonably shall require, including, at a minimum, sales,
backlog, revenues, expenses, net income and EBITDA.

     (f) All revenues of the Mill shall be deposited into a lock-box
arrangement, or similar procedure to be designated from time to time by KES. KES
shall provide, or cause a third party to provide, an outsourced accounting
department (the "ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT") to handle all accounting functions of
the Mill; provided, however, that KES may from time to time (but is not required
to) cause the Company, at the expense of KES, to hire one (1) or more
individuals to serve as an employee of KES to assist the Accounting Department
in fulfilling its functions. The Company shall submit all invoices and check
requests to the Accounting Department in a manner such as to permit the
Accounting Department to pay timely all such invoices. At the request of the
Company, the arrangement contemplated by this Section 2.2(f) shall be reviewed
from time to time to determine whether modifications are necessary or advisable
(as determined by KES in its sole discretion) to permit more efficient operation
of the Mill.

     (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, KES shall make available to the Company
a petty cash supply at the Mill, in such amounts as reasonably are requested by
the Company from time to time, to pay for incidental expenses of the Mill.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                    RESPONSIBILITIES; AUTHORITY; BOARD MEMBER

     3.1 PRIMARY CLIENT. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, during the
Term, it shall cause (i) the individual designated as GM to devote his full-time
attention to fulfilling his duties and obligations as GM of the Mill and (ii)
the individuals designated as Advisors to devote such time as reasonably is
required to enable the GM and the Company to fulfill the obligations of the
Company under this Agreement.

     3.2 AUTHORITY. Each of the GM and the Advisors shall have the executive
authority, responsibilities and duties typically held by a general manager of a
company of a similar size and type as a company conducting the operations of the
Mill; provided, however, that neither the Company, nor any representative of the
Company shall have the authority to enter into any understanding, commitment,
agreement, contract or obligation on behalf of KES except and to the limited
extent provided to the Company by the Board or the Board Representative (but not
the designee of the Board Representative) in writing from time to time - it
being the expectation of the parties that KES shall grant each of the GM and the
Advisors the authority to bind KES to contractual obligations consistent with
(i.e., not exceeding) the budget of the Mill, prepared from time to time by the
Company and approved by KES.

     3.3 COMPANY BOARD MEMBER. The Company shall be entitled to designate one
(1) person who is reasonably acceptable to KES Holdings, LLC ("HOLDINGS") to
serve as a member of the Board during the Term; provided, however, that such
person is qualified to serve in such position, as determined by KES in its
reasonable discretion.

                                        3

                                    ARTICLE 4
                                    PAYMENTS

     4.1 SERVICES FEES. In consideration of the Services, KES agrees to pay the
Company the following consideration:

     (a) MANAGEMENT FEE. During the Term, by the tenth (10th) business day of
each month (provided, however, that the first such payment (i.e., the payment
for September, 2003) shall be due and payable on or before September 25, 2003),
an aggregate amount (the "MANAGEMENT FEE") equal to Fifty-Eight Thousand Three
Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars and Thirty-Three Cents ($58,333.33) per month.

     (b) MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE FEE. An amount (the "MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE FEE"),
for each fiscal year during the Term, commencing with the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2004 and pro-rated for any fiscal year which is less than a full
fiscal year, equal to Sixteen and Six-Tenths Percent (16.6%) of the amount by
which EBITDA for such fiscal year exceeds Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000);
provided, however, that for the period of January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005,
the Management Incentive Fee shall be equal to Sixteen and Six-Tenths Percent
(16.6%) of the amount by which EBITDA for such fiscal period exceeds Four
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000). For purposes of this
Agreement, "EBITDA" means, for any period of computation thereof, the sum of (i)
KES' Net Income (defined below) for such period, plus (ii) the aggregate amount
(without duplication) of (A) taxes imposed on, or measured by, income or excess
profits, (B) interest charges for such period accrued on or with respect to all
indebtedness or other obligations of KES for money borrowed, including, without
limitation, capitalized lease obligations, letter of credit reimbursement
obligations and guaranty fees, and (C) depreciation and amortization for such
period, in each case accrued for such period by KES. For purposes of this
Agreement "NET INCOME" means, with respect to KES for any period of computation
thereof, the net income (or loss) of KES for such period; provided, however,
that the following items shall be excluded when determining net income: (i) any
item of gain or loss resulting from the sale, conversion or other disposition of
plant, property, and equipment, (ii) gains or losses on the acquisition,
retirement, sale or other disposition of equity interests in and other
securities of KES, (iii) any write up of any asset, (iv) any other net gains or
losses of an extraordinary nature as determined in accordance with United States
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), consistently applied and (v)
any earnings attributable to the amortization of negative good will. The audited
financial statements of KES shall be used to determine EBITDA. Any amount owed
as a Management Incentive Fee in any year will be paid within ten (10) business
days after the completion of the audit of KES' books for such fiscal year.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, KES shall exercise
its commercially reasonable efforts to complete its audit as soon as practicable
following the end of each fiscal year (which, in no event shall be construed as
being prior to the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the end of the fiscal
year as to which audit pertains).

     4.2 EXPENSES. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement,
the Company shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by the Company in connection with the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement and KES shall be responsible for all expenses associated
with operation of the Mill. In addition, the Company acknowledges that KES has
no obligation to reimburse or otherwise compensate the Company

                                        4

for any services provided or expenses incurred by the Company (or any of its
employees or representatives) at any time prior to the date of the Original
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:

     (A) The Company shall be responsible for payment of all expenses incurred
by the Company for travel to and from the Mill and for the costs of housing at
the Mill (e.g., hotels or an apartment in Ashland, Kentucky) in excess of
Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) per year (or such greater amount as may be
agreed to in writing by KES or the Board Representative (but not the designee of
the Board Representative) from time to time in writing, which writing
specifically references this Agreement); and

     (B) KES shall be responsible for the payment of travel and lodging expenses
incurred by the Company in connection with the performance of the Services
(e.g., for travel or lodging expenses associated with visiting customer or
supplier sites, inspecting supplies, etc.).

                                    ARTICLE 5
                                    INSURANCE

     5.1 INSURANCE. During the Term, from time to time and at the expense of
KES, the Company shall consult with one (1) or more insurance brokers (the
"BROKERS") and following such consultation, shall recommend to KES insurance
types and coverages appropriate and customary for the Mill (as determined after
consultation with such Brokers) and facilitate KES obtaining and maintaining in
full force and effect insurance coverage with respect to the Mill. Such
insurance shall, in all events, be satisfactory to KES (in its absolute
discretion) and may include, at the discretion of KES (but without limitation):
(i) commercial general liability insurance, (ii) products/completed operations
hazard insurance, (iii) contractual liability coverage, (iv) workers'
compensation and employer's liability insurance, (v) unemployment insurance,
(vi) umbrella or excess insurance, which insurance may partially satisfy the
limits of primary insurance specified above and (vii) such other insurance as
the may be recommended by the Company (after consultation with such Brokers)
that is satisfactory to KES (in its absolute discretion). All such insurance
policies shall be underwritten by insurance companies satisfactory to KES (at
its absolute discretion), shall have deductible amounts, coverage limits and
exclusions that are satisfactory to KES (as its absolute discretion), and shall
name Holdings as an additional insured and the loss payee. For the avoidance of
doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that KES may elect to have no insurance
with respect to the Mill.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     6.1 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY KES. KES represents and warrants

                                    ARTICLE 7
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     7.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY KES. KES shall indemnify and save and hold the
Company, its officers and directors (including in their capacities as GM and
Advisors during the Term), security holders, employees, consultants and agents
(individually, a "COMPANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY" and collectively the "COMPANY
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") harmless from and against any and all damages,
liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively,
"LOSSES") resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement
or the acceptance or performance of any duties or rendering of any Services
performed by any Company Indemnified Party under this Agreement, provided,
however, that KES shall have no liability hereunder in respect of any act or
omission of a Company Indemnified Party caused by such Company Indemnified
Party's willful breach of this Agreement in any material respect, reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or willful
misconduct, gross negligence or willful malfeasance in the performance of or in
connection with providing the Services.

                                        6

     7.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall indemnify and save
and hold KES and Holdings and the officers and directors, managers, security
holders, employees, consultants and agents of KES and Holdings (individually, a
"KES INDEMNIFIED PARTY" and collectively the "KES INDEMNIFIED PARTIES," and
together with the Company Indemnified Parties, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES")
harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of
the Company's willful breach of this Agreement in any material respect, reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or willful
misconduct, gross negligence or willful malfeasance in the performance of or in
connection with providing the Services.

     7.3 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. In order for an
Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this
Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving any suit, action,
proceeding, claim, demand or written notice made by any third party against an
Indemnified Party (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM"), the Indemnified Party must notify the
party of whom it is requesting such indemnification (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY")
in writing of the Third Party Claim within thirty (30) calendar days after
receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim;
provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder unless the
Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure. If a Third
Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
be entitled, if it so chooses, to elect to compromise or assume the defense
thereof by delivering written notice to such effect to the Indemnified Party
within thirty (30) calendar days or such shorter period as is reasonably
required, following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice of the Third
Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to compromise or assume the
defense of any Third Party Claim, it may not agree to any settlement or
compromise of such claim, other than a settlement or compromise solely for
monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will
cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party in connection
with such compromise or defense and shall have the right to participate in such
compromise or defense with counsel (but not more than one firm) selected (with
the consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be withheld unreasonably) and paid
for by the Indemnified Party. Except as otherwise provided, regardless of which
party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnified Party
shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the
Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not withhold unreasonably
consent to any settlement or compromise of such claim and (iii) the Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in any settlement or compromise
of such claim, whether by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as
the case may be. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not compromise or
assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall
promptly pay to the Indemnified Party all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
or to be incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any claim in advance of
the final disposition thereof; provided, however, that if it ultimately is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (from whose decision no appeals
may be taken or the time for appeal has lapsed) that the Indemnified Party was
not entitled to indemnity hereunder, then the Indemnified Party shall repay
promptly all amounts so advanced. The Indemnified Party shall deliver to the
Indemnifying Party statements of the reasonable costs and expenses so incurred,
or to be incurred, on a monthly basis, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay
promptly to the Indemnified Party the amounts shown on such statements.

                                        7

     7.4 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES FOR NON-THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. In the event an
Indemnified Party shall claim a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement for
other than a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice
of such claim to the Indemnifying Party and such notice shall specify the basis
for such claim in reasonable detail; provided, however, that the failure to give
such notice or to specify such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
any liability hereunder (unless the Indemnifying Party has suffered material
prejudice by such failure). As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party
has given such notice, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall
attempt to resolve such claim by mutual agreement before seeking to enforce
rights to indemnification hereunder.

     7.5 EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Absent fraud, the indemnification provided in this
Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the parties for
breach of any of the terms, conditions, representations or warranties contained
herein or any right, claim or action arising from the transactions contemplated
hereby; provided, however, this exclusive remedy does not preclude a party from
(i) bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to
require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, under Section 10.4 below or (ii) otherwise exercising any rights
of such party under the terms of this Agreement.

     7.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no party shall be liable to the other party for indemnification under
this Article 7 for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary or
consequential damages arising out of this Agreement, including, but not limited
to, loss of profits, and each party hereby releases the other party from any
claims that it may have against the other party for any such damages and loss of
profits, unless such damages or loss of profits are covered by insurance, in
which event the insured party shall be obligated to seek recovery and submit any
recovery to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall
not be construed to preclude recovery by the Indemnified Party in respect to
Losses directly incurred from Third Party Claims. Both parties shall take
commercially reasonable actions to mitigate their damages.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                             RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

     8.1 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. In connection with performing its obligations
under this Agreement, representatives of the Company may, from time to time, be
assigned titles on behalf of KES (e.g., General Manager of KES, etc.) and in
such capacity, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 above, may hold
themselves out to third parties as representatives of the Mill and KES.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Company
acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between the Company and any of its
representatives, on the one hand, and KES, on the other hand, is that of
employer and independent contractor only and in no event shall any
representative of the Company be deemed to be an employee of KES. This Agreement
is not intended to create any other relationship of any kind, including but, not
limited to, an employer-employee relationship, joint venture, franchise,
partnership or other relationship of any similar kind between or among KES and
the Company or any affiliate or representatives of KES or the Company, and the
parties expressly deny the existence of any such relationship. As an independent
contractor, the Company and its representatives solely are responsible for
payment of all taxes relating to the obligations of the

                                        8

Company under this Agreement, and any of the Company's employees, including, but
not limited to, all federal, state and local income taxes, employment-related
taxes, worker's compensation insurance, social security taxes and withholding
taxes relating to anyone working for the Company.

     8.2  CONFIDENTIALITY.

     (a) Subject to any contrary requirement of law and the right of each party
to enforce its rights under this Agreement in any legal action, each party shall
keep strictly confidential and shall cause its employees, consultants and agents
to keep strictly confidential, any information (in particular confidential or
proprietary information regarding the operations of the Mill and names, salaries
and positions of employees of the Company) which it or any of its employees,
consultants or agents may acquire pursuant to, or in the course of performing
its obligations under, any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that
such obligation to maintain confidentiality shall not apply to information that:
(i) is or becomes generally available to the public not as a result of acts by
the receiving party, (ii) was or becomes available to the receiving party on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing party, provided
that such source is not, to the receiving party's knowledge, bound by any
confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary
obligations of confidentiality to either party or any other person with respect
to such information, or (iii) at the time of disclosure is already in the public
domain. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party agrees to make full and
appropriate disclosure of this Agreement to the extent required by law;
provided, however, that the party from whom disclosure is sought, to the extent
possible, shall notify first the other party in order that the other party may
contest such disclosure and, provided, further, that the parties agree that in
the event of an assignment by KES of this Agreement to YouthStream Media
Networks, Inc. or one or more of its affiliates (collectively, "YOUTHSTREAM") or
other change of control transaction in which YouthStream becomes the owner of
KES, this Agreement and matters related to the history, operations (excluding,
however, any information relating to names, salaries and positions of employees
of the Company) and performance of the Mill ("PERMITTED DISCLOSURES"), may be
disclosed by YouthStream in filings that it makes with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") or other regulatory bodies (including applicable
trade markets). If a party believes that information (other than Permitted
Disclosures) is or may be required by law or regulation (including, without
limitation, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, to be disclosed
and the other party notifies the party seeking to make such disclosure that it
disagrees with such disclosure, the party seeking to make such disclosure shall
not do so unless it provides written advice from its counsel that such
disclosure is or may be required by law or regulation.

     (b) None of the GM, the Advisors nor any employee, agent or representative
of the Company shall in the performance of the Services violate any
confidentiality obligations such party may have to a former employer or other
party for whom such party has provided services or otherwise obtained any
confidential or proprietary information of such third party.

     8.3 WORK FOR HIRE. All methods, processes, technical improvements and
advances developed or put in place by the Company and its principals, including,
but not limited to, the GM and the Advisors, will be considered "work-for-hire,"
shall constitute the exclusive property

                                        9

of, and are hereby assigned to KES. The Company agrees to take such further
actions as may be requested reasonably by KES from time to time to effect any
such assignment.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                                   TERMINATION

     9.1 TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated in accordance with the
terms set forth in subsections (a) through (d) of this Article 9 by the party
who is entitled to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to the
other party pursuant to Section 12.3 below.

     (a) TERMINATION BY KES. This Agreement may be terminated by KES as follows:

          (i) At any time within thirty (30) days following completion of the
     audit for KES with respect to the end of each fiscal year, KES may
     terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon notice of termination
     to the Company delivered in accordance with Section 12.3 below, in the
     event that the KES' EBITDA (derived from operation of the Mill) does not
     exceed (x) Six Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,300,000) for the
     nine months ended September 30, 2005, or (y) Eight Million Four Hundred
     Thousand Dollars ($8,400,000) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006
     and each fiscal year thereafter (such annual targeted EBITDA amounts, the
     "TARGETED EBITDA");

          (ii) At any time within ninety (90) calendar days following the end of
     the second (2nd) quarter of each fiscal year of operation of the Mill, KES
     may terminate this Agreement, following notice delivered to the Company in
     accordance with Section 12.3 below and to be effective immediately upon
     completion of the shut-down of the Mill as described below, in the event
     that, as of the end of such second (2nd) quarter, KES has not recognized
     EBITDA (calculated as of the end of such period and taking into account, to
     the extent practicable, expected normal year-end adjustments, if any) for
     such immediately prior two (2)-quarter period equal to not less than
     twenty-five percent (25%) of the Targeted EBITDA for the full fiscal year
     (i.e., KES has not recognized at least Two Million One Hundred Thousand
     Dollars ($2,100,000) as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of each
     year); provided, however, that, prior to exercising any such termination
     right, KES:

               (A) shall notify the Company of its desire to meet and discuss
          the failure of the Company to meet the applicable EBITDA target (the
          "MEET AND CONFER NOTICE");

               (B) shall review with the Company the Company's action plan (the
          "ACTION PLAN") describing how the Company intends to meet the Target
          EBITDA for the then current fiscal year (which Action Plan shall be
          delivered by the Company to KES within fifteen (15) calendar days of
          receipt of the Meet and Confer Notice -- it being agreed to by the
          parties that the failure of the Company to deliver such Action Plan
          within such time period shall be grounds for KES to terminate this
          Agreement immediately upon notice thereof in accordance with

                                       10

          Section 12.3 below without payment of the fee contemplated by clause
          (D) below);

               (C) reasonably has determined, following the review of the Action
          Plan and the meeting with the Company to discuss the Company's
          proposed actions to meet the Targeted EBITDA for such then current
          fiscal year, that it is not reasonably likely that KES will recognize
          the Targeted EBITDA for the then current fiscal year AND because of
          such failure, KES has decided to cease operations of the Mill
          permanently; and

               (D) has agreed to pay the Company a termination fee in the amount
          of One Hundred Sixteen Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six Dollars and
          Sixty-Seven Cents ($116,666.67), such termination fee to be payable
          upon the completion of shut down of the Mill.

     In the event that KES delivers a termination notice pursuant to this
     Section 9.1(a)(iv), the parties agree that the Company shall conduct the
     shut-down activities of the Mill and the Management Fee shall continue to
     be payable until the completion of such shut-down (the timeline for such
     shutdown to be determined by KES, after consultation with the Company).

          (iii) KES shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective
     immediately upon notice to the Company in accordance with Section 12.3
     below, at any time following the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure
     (defined below); provided, however, that in the event that in connection
     with such event of Force Majeure, KES receives insurance proceeds with
     respect to the Mill, KES shall pay the Company an amount equal to Sixteen
     and Six-Tenths Percent (16.6%) of the Net Insurance Proceeds (defined
     below). For purposes of this clause (v), "NET INSURANCE PROCEEDS" shall
     mean such amount of proceeds of insurance that remains after (A) payment of
     all outstanding obligations and expenses of the Mill and KES and (B) the
     return of the aggregate then unreturned capital investment made by the
     members of KES (i.e., such investors' "Unreturned Capital Contributions"
     (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement (defined below) as of the
     date of the distribution of such proceeds) under that certain Amended and
     Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement dated July 3, 2003, as amended
     (the "LLC AGREEMENT"), by and among KES Holdings, LLC and the "members"
     named therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties expressly agree that
     (1) any unpaid fees for Services provided by the Company under this
     Agreement shall be deemed to be "obligations and expenses" of KES for
     purposes of this clause (v), but solely to the extent that such Services
     have been performed on or prior to the date of the Force Majeure event
     (such unpaid amounts, the "UNPAID SERVICE FEES") and (2) except to the
     extent of the payment of the Unpaid Service Fees, in no event shall the
     Company be entitled to receive any payment until such time as (A) all
     obligations and expenses of KES are paid in full and (B) the members of KES
     have received distributions equal to their respective Unreturned Capital
     Contributions. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "FORCE MAJEURE"
     shall mean an act of God, flood, earthquake, typhoon, tsunami, cyclone,
     tornado, fire, explosion, war (whether declared or not), riot, revolution,
     insurrection, civil disturbance, labor strike or work stoppage, act of the
     public enemy,

                                       11

     terrorism, blockade, or action of a court or public authority, or any
     similar act, event or occurrence, through no fault or negligence of KES:
     (x) in the case of one or more events described above other than a labor
     strike or work stoppage, results directly or indirectly, in the Mill
     reasonably to become inoperable and the repair or restoration of the Mill
     to be unreasonable, economically, in the reasonable determination of KES,
     made in its sole discretion, or (y) in the case of a labor strike or work
     stoppage, renders continued operation of the Mill economically unfeasible,
     in the reasonable determination of KES, made in its sole discretion.

          (iv) KES shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, following
     delivery of notice in accordance with Section 12.3 below and effective upon
     expiration of the applicable cure periods described below, in the event of
     a material breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement.
     For purposes of this clause (vi), (A) in the event of a breach of Section
     3.1 above that is the initial breach of Section 3.1 by the Company (i.e.,
     the Company has not previously breached such provision), the Company shall
     have five (5) calendar days from the date of notice of the breach by KES
     (delivered in accordance with Section 12.3 below) to cure such breach to
     the reasonable satisfaction of KES and, in the event of a breach of Section
     3.1 that is not the initial breach of such provision by the Company, the
     Company shall not be entitled to any cure period, and (B) in the event of a
     breach of any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall have
     thirty (30) calendar days following the notice of such breach by KES
     (delivered in accordance with Section 12.3 below) to cure such breach to
     the reasonable satisfaction of KES; provided, however, that (x) such breach
     reasonably is capable of being cured, (y) the Company has exercised its
     best efforts to cure such breach within such thirty (30) calendar-day
     period but the breach nevertheless has not been cured, and (z) the Company
     agrees to continue to exercise its best efforts to cure such breach as
     quickly as possible, such thirty (30) calendar-day period shall be extended
     to sixty (60) calendar days.

     (B)  TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY.

          (i) The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement,
     effective thirty (30) calendar days following the notice of such breach by
     the Company to KES (delivered in accordance with Section 12.3 below), in
     the event of a material breach by KES of its obligations under this
     Agreement; provided, however, that (A) such breach reasonably is capable of
     being cured, (B) KES has exercised its best efforts to cure such breach
     within such thirty (30) calendar-day period but the breach nevertheless has
     not been cured, and (C) KES agrees to continue to exercise its best efforts
     to cure such breach as quickly as possible, such thirty (30) calendar-day
     period shall be extended to sixty (60) calendar days.

          (ii) The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on
     or after October 31, 2009 for any reason or no reason, effective one
     hundred eighty (180) calendar days following notice of such termination to
     KES delivered in accordance with Section 12.3 below.

     (c) BANKRUPTCY. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately if
the other party (or any of its affiliates) shall make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or shall

                                       12

petition or apply for the appointment of a trustee or other custodian,
liquidator or receiver of such party or of any substantial part of the assets of
such party, or shall commence any case or other proceeding relating to such
party, or any significant subsidiary of such party, under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or
liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, or
shall take any action to authorize or in furtherance of any of the foregoing or
if any of the foregoing actions shall be taken against the other party (or any
of its affiliates) and such action is not dismissed within sixty (60) calendar
days after such action is taken. Such termination shall be effective immediately
upon notice to the non-terminating party delivered in accordance with Section
12.3 below.

     (d) AUTOMATIC TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate automatically
(unless otherwise agreed by the parties) upon the sale of the Mill or the equity
ownership interests of KES to a person other than (i) YouthStream, or (ii) an
affiliate of Holdings (such sale to a party other than a party described in
clauses (i) or (ii), a "THIRD PARTY SALE"). If this Agreement is terminated in
connection with a Third Party Sale that occurs more than twenty-four (24) months
after the Effective Date, the Company shall be paid a termination fee (the
"TERMINATION FEE") in an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of the Management
Fee and the Management Incentive Fee paid to Company during the twelve
(12)-month period immediately preceding the closing date of such Third Party
Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Third Party Sale occurs prior to the
date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, no termination
fee shall be payable to the Company; provided, however, that no such Third Party
Sale shall occur (nor shall any agreement with respect to a Third Party Sale be
entered into) prior to the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the
Effective Date without the consent of the Company, which shall not be withheld
unreasonably.

     9.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance
with Section 9.1 above, from and after the date of such termination this
Agreement shall have no further force or effect, without any liability on the
part of any party or its directors, officers, members or stockholders, except
for the obligations of the parties hereto which continue after termination as
provided in Section 12.8 below and that the Company shall be entitled to receive
all fees and compensation which have accrued but have not been paid prior to the
date of such termination except as otherwise provided herein. Nothing in this
Section 9.2 shall be deemed to release either party from any liability for any
willful and material breach of any obligation hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                        NON-SOLICITATION; NON-COMPETITION

     10.1 NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. During the twelve (12)-month period
immediately following the expiration of the Term, none of KES, any of it
representatives or any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, solicit
the employment of, or enter into any consulting arrangement with, any employee
of the Company without the Company's prior written consent, which shall not be
withheld unreasonably. This restriction shall not apply to generalized searches
for employees or consultants through media advertisements, employment firms or
otherwise that are not focused on persons employed by, or engaged in any
consulting arrangement with, the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that KES

                                       13

terminates this Agreement for bankruptcy or breach or the Company terminates
this Agreement other than for breach, KES shall be free to employ or hire
employees of the Company.

     10.2 NON-COMPETITION. The Company agrees that, in consideration of the
payment by KES to the Company of the Management Fee, the Management Incentive
Fee, if any, and the Termination Fee, if any, during the Term and for a period
of twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement, neither the
Company nor any of its officers, directors or employees will provide management
and/or consulting Services to any steel mill (x) that is located in Ashland,
Kentucky, regardless of the production of such mill or (y) that, while the
Company is providing management and/or consulting services to such steel mill,
together with all other steel mills managed by the Company or for which the
Company acts as a consultant (other than KES), sells to customers of KES more
than 80,000 tons per year of product that is directly competitive with products
manufactured by KES and sold to customers of KES. For purposes of this Section
10.2, an entity is a "customer of KES" if during the most recent 12-month
period, KES has sold at least 500 tons of product to such entity. KES
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any of its officers,
directors, shareholders or employees is restricted hereby from developing
management relationships or providing management and/or consulting services with
steel and other companies other than as specifically set forth in this Section
10.2.

     10.3 SEVERABILITY. If any provision contained in this Article 10 shall for
any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions
of this Article 10, but this Article 10 shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the
intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions and/or covenants
contained herein is held to be for length of time which is not permitted by
applicable law, or in any way is construed to be too broad (for geographic or
other reasons) or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed
to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be
valid or enforceable under applicable law, a court of competent jurisdiction
shall construe and interpret or reform this Article 10 to provide for a covenant
having the maximum enforceable time period and/or other provisions (not greater
than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such
applicable law.

     10.4 REMEDIES. The Company acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in
Section 10.2 above constitute a material inducement to KES entering into and
performing this Agreement. The Company further acknowledges, stipulates and
agrees that a breach of said obligation could result in irreparable harm and
continuing damage to KES for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and
further agrees that, in the event of any breach of such obligation, KES may be
entitled to injunctive relief and to such other relief as is proper under the
circumstances.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION

    11.1 DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the event that a party to this Agreement has
reasonable grounds to believe that the other party hereto has breached or failed
to satisfactorily perform any of its obligations hereunder, such party will
notify promptly the other party in writing of the

                                       14

substance of its belief. The party receiving such notice must respond in writing
within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of such notice (or, in the case of a
breach of Section 3.1 above, within five (5) calendar days of receipt of such
notice) and either provide evidence that it has cured (or is diligently in the
process of curing) the condition specified, or provide an explanation why it
believes that its performance is in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, and also specify three (3) dates (excluding holidays and
weekends), all of which must be within thirty (30) calendar days from the date
of the notice of termination, for a meeting to resolve the dispute. The claiming
party will then select one of the three (3) dates, and a dispute resolution
meeting will be held. If the parties cannot resolve their dispute by good faith
negotiations, then the parties shall be free to seek relief in the courts as
specified in Section 11.2. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing,
such meeting shall be held at the offices of the receiving party.

     11.2 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. KES and the Company irrevocably submit to
the jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware for the purposes
of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any
transaction contemplated hereby (and each agrees that no such action, suit or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby
shall be brought by it or any of its affiliates except in such courts). KES and
the Company agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document by
U.S. registered mail to such person's respective address set forth below shall
be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware
with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set
forth above in the immediately preceding sentence.

     11.3 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each party hereby waives and agrees to cause
each of its affiliates to waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation
directly and indirectly arising, out of, under or in connection with this
Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement may not be assigned by KES or
the Company without the prior written consent of the other party except that KES
may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder without the
Company's consent to (i) one or more of its affiliates or (ii) YouthStream in
connection with a sale of KES or the Mill to such entity. Any attempt to assign
any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement, except as set forth in
this Section 12.1, without such prior consent shall be null and void. Subject to
the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing contained in
this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other
than the parties to it and their respective successors and permitted assigns any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

     12.2 GOVERNING LAW. The construction, validity and enforceability of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard
to its conflicts of laws principles.

No. 1                                                                     ,

$19,000,000

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, YOUTHSTREAM ACQUISITION CORP. (herein
called the "COMPANY"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Delaware, hereby promises to pay to KES Holdings, LLC, or
registered assigns, the principal sum of NINETEEN MILLION DOLLARS ($19,000,000)
(or such lesser amount as may then be outstanding) on February 28, 2015 with
interest (computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year of
twelve (12) thirty (30)-day months) (a) on the unpaid balance thereof at the
rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum from the date hereof until the principal
hereof shall have become due and payable, and (b) to the extent permitted by law
on any overdue payment (including any overdue prepayment) of principal, any
overdue payment of interest, payable semiannually (or, at the option of the
registered Holder hereof, on demand), at a rate of twelve percent (12%).

     1. Note Purchase Agreement. This Note is one of a series of Subordinated
Secured Notes (herein called the "NOTES") issued pursuant to the Note Purchase
Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2005 (as from time to time amended, the
"NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), between the Company and the respective Purchasers
named therein. Each Holder of this Note will be deemed, by its acceptance
hereof, (i) to have agreed to the confidentiality provisions set forth in
Section 20 of the Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) to have made the
representations set forth in Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement. This Note
is secured by a YSTM Pledge Agreement (the "PRIMARY SECURITY DOCUMENT"). In
addition, as provided in Section 9.9 of the Note Purchase Agreement, this Note
may, in the future (as contemplated by Section 9.9 of the Note Purchase
Agreement), be secured by a Security Agreement, a Pledge Agreement, a Fee
Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Leases, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing
and an Assignment of Rents and Leases (the "SECONDARY SECURITY DOCUMENTS").

     2. Interest Payments. The Company shall pay accrued interest on the Note on
the first day of January, April, July and October (each such date, a "QUARTER")
in each year, commencing with the Quarter next following the date of the Note.

     3. Scheduled Principal Payments. To the extent that the principal amount of
this Note is not earlier paid in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company
shall make the following scheduled principal payments within ten (10) days after
the end of the applicable payment date; provided, however, that (i) in no event
shall any payments made pursuant to Section 4 of this Note relieve the Company
from making any scheduled payments of principal under this Section 3 except to
the extent that as a result of such payments under Section 4, the aggregate
amount outstanding under the Note as of a

scheduled payment date is less than the scheduled payment pursuant to this
Section 3 and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments made by the
Company pursuant to Section 4 below with respect to the Company's 2005 or 2006
fiscal years shall reduce the amount of the payment due under paragraph (a)
below by the amount of such payments. All such payments shall be applied first
against all then outstanding interest and the balance of such payments shall be
applied against all then outstanding principal.

          One Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,900,000) as of February
          28, 2007;

          Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($950,000) as of February 28,
          2008;

          Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($950,000) as of February 28,
          2009;

          Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($950,000) as of February 28,
          2010;

          Two Million Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,850,000) as of
          February 28, 2011;

          Two Million Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,850,000) as of
          February 28, 2012;

          Two Million Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,850,000) as of
          February 28, 2013; and

          Any principal and interest remaining outstanding under this Note as of
          February 28, 2015 shall be paid on such date.

     4. Additional Principal Payments. In the event that the Company has Free
Cash as of the end of any Quarter, the Company shall use such Free Cash to make
additional payments of principal; provided, however, that no such payment will
be required if the total annualized amount of Free Cash as of the end of such
Quarter is equal to or greater than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000); and
provided, further, that in the event that no payment is required pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 4, and as a result, the Company uses Free Cash to
redeem Series A Preferred Stock under the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, no default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder by virtue
of such payment. For purposes of this Section 4, the amount of total annualized
Free Cash as of the end of any Quarter shall be determined by multiplying (a)
the aggregate amount of Free Cash for the current and all preceding Quarters of
the Company's current fiscal year by (b) the appropriate Annualization Factor.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Annualization Factor for any Quarter
shall be determined as follows: (w) for the first Quarter of the Company's
fiscal year the Annualization Factor shall be four (4); (x) for the second
Quarter of the Company's fiscal year the Annualization Factor shall be two (2);
(y) for the third Quarter of the Company's fiscal year the Annualization Factor
shall be four-thirds (4/3); and (z) for the fourth Quarter of the Company's
fiscal year the Annualization Factor shall be one (1). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, after the Company has redeemed all of its shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, all Free Cash shall be used by the Company to make additional

payments of principal at the end of each Quarter, regardless of the amount of
the Free Cash available as of the end of any Quarter. Any payments shall be made
to all Holders of the Notes, pari passu, and applied against the outstanding
principal balances of the Notes.

     5. Currency; Place of Payments. Payments of principal of and interest on
this Note are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America at such
place as the Holder shall have designated as provided in the Note Purchase
Agreement referred to below.

     6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default, as defined in the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Primary Security Documents, or if executed and delivered, the
Secondary Security Documents, occurs, and, if applicable, is continuing, the
principal of this Note may, as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement,
automatically become immediately due and payable or the Holder of this Note may
declare the principal amount of this Note to be immediately due and payable.

     7. Governing Law. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with, and the rights of the issuer and Holder hereof shall be governed by, the
law of the State of Delaware excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of
such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction
other than such State.
