ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

      We are a music, film, and digital entertainment company focused on
supplying traditional and web-centric entertainment businesses with state-of-the
art, film, video, digital and music-related products, services and content. Our
products, content and services are offered through three operating groups,
namely:

      o     Paradise Film (including Straw Dogs and Picture Vision)
      o     Paradise Music (including Push Records, Paradise Records, Rave and
            All Access)
      o     Paradise Digital Entertainment

      Our Company is led by industry veterans, Jesse Dylan and M. Jay
Walkingshaw. Each of our operating companies is managed by well-known
professionals in their areas of operations.

      Here are the highlights of each of our business groups:

Paradise Film Group

      Straw Dogs employs a roster of well-known directors who produce television
commercials. The directors each have expertise in one or more commercial
categories. Straw Dogs has created and produced television commercials for
numerous national advertisers including Nike, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Reebok,
Budweiser, Hallmark, 7-Up, General Motors, AT&T, Sprint, Chevrolet, McDonald's,
Disney, American Express and Mountain Dew. Many of the directors working for
Straw Dogs perform their services as independent contractors.

      Picture Vision produces music videos and music television specials for
numerous well-known musical artists. These artists include Whitney Houston,
Madonna, Anita Baker, Ray Charles, Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, Reba McEntire,
Billy Joel, Garth Brooks and Sting. Picture Vision also produces and directs
music television specials and long-form musical video programs, featuring
artists including Billy Joel, Faith Hill, Janet Jackson, Anita Baker, Hall &
Oates and Van Morrison. A recent special, "Garth Brooks ...In the Life of Chris
Gaines" was aired on NBC. Picture Vision has received numerous awards for its
productions.

      Both Straw Dogs and Picture Vision are paid on a contract fee basis with
profitability based upon accurate budgeting and efficient operations. Paradise
Film has assisted both our Paradise Music and Paradise Digital Entertainment
groups in providing services required for those operations. It is projected that
the operations of Paradise Digital Entertainment Group will expand rapidly based
on part on the support of Paradise Film Group.

Paradise Music Group

      This group operates in several niche areas of the music business. It
produces and delivers:

      o     original musical content, for television programs and motion
            pictures (Rave)
      o     records (on several music labels)


                                        1
<PAGE>

      o     music for advertising (Rave)
      o     musical artist management (All Access)

      Paradise Music has produced records for sale to the public. We have
partnered with V2 records in marketing and distributing a record for Blessid
Union of Souls. We will seek to produce additional records with V2 in the
future. We also have a distribution agreement with V2/BMG for the distribution
of records. We also have licensing, marketing and distribution and joint venture
agreements with independent record labels in a selected number of musical genres
including:

      o     Trippin' N Rhythm/Hardcastle Records - Smooth Jazz, Urban/Adult
            Contemporary and Smooth Jazz/NAC
      o     Jazzica - Smooth Jazz/NAC
      o     Mesa/Bluemoon Records-Worldbeat, Jazz, Pop/Rock, and Contemporary
            Jazz
      o     Kinetic Records - dance/trance DJ compilations.

      Rave produces music for commercials as well as original musical content
for programs and movies. Rave's composers created the theme music, as well as
the underscore, for Pokemon, the number one rated kids television series, the
2BA Master television series soundtrack album on Koch Records which was
certified to be a gold album with sales of over 500,000 units, the score for the
Warner Bros. feature film, Mewtwo Strikes Back and the score for the
direct-to-video animated feature, Pikachu's Winter Vacation. Rave has also
produced original compositions of advertising themes for clients such as Bounty
Fabric Softener, Pringles and Jif Peanut Butter.

      All Access provides comprehensive career management services for
established, as well as up and coming, music industry talent. Its current
clients include Darryl Hall & John Oates and Mosh Entertainment, LLC.

      Paradise Music receives revenues from contract services, percentage shares
and/or royalties from original musical scores and records and percentage fees
for artist management. Paradise Music has also provided services and business
opportunities for Paradise Film and Digital Entertainment Group.

Paradise Digital Entertainment

      Paradise Digital Productions was established in January 2000 to apply our
expertise in various aspects of traditional music and entertainment production
towards the creation, production and delivery of Internet-related content for
the digital and web-based entertainment markets. Paradise Digital Productions
has production and strategic relationships with Eruptor Entertainment, Inc., an
entertainment and leisure Internet destination site targeted at "Generation Y"
males and WireBreak.com, a digital entertainment destination site utilizing a
unique, highly-stylized synchronization of streaming, "made-for-the-web" video
and interactive animation. We are in the process of producing and filming
episodes two through six of the Jonni Nitro animated series, starring Olivia
D'Abo, for Eruptor.com. Also, having developed and produced an original pilot of
a "digital show" for WireBreak.com, we have recently been engaged to produce up
to 100 new episodes of the show. Additionally, in March we produced and webcast
the Yahoo Film Festival. We have entered into an alliance with Computer
Associates International Inc., a leading provider of Internet software
solutions, to combine their expertise in back-end software support with our
content designed for the digital entertainment market.

Cross Selling and Servicing

      Our Company is able to offer a broader range of services than most other
small independent companies in our industry by the availability of
cross-services within the Paradise Film, Paradise Music and Paradise Digital
Entertainment groups. These services have been structured to foster more
efficient business operations, lower costs and greater convenience to customers.
We have also been developing new business opportunities through the interaction
of our existing groups. This development lead to the launch of the Paradise
Digital Entertainment group which made substantial use of the resources provided
by Paradise Film and Paradise Music groups.

Plans for Expansion

      We have adopted a strategic plan to significantly expand our Company. Our
growth strategy focuses on three initiatives:

      o Fostering internal growth. We intend to internally grow our groups and
their operating units by expansion of their existing operations through the
addition of key talent including directors, recording artists, composers and
other individuals and the addition of other products and services. In connection
with this growth, we are also seeking attractive joint venture and partnership
opportunities to combine our strengths with those of others.

      o Acquisition of complementary businesses. The industries in which we are
active are fragmented and populated by many smaller organizations which can
benefit from the infrastructure and breadth of our operations. Consequently we
believe that we can structure attractive acquisition opportunities. We are
currently engaged in identifying such opportunities and are in discussions with
a number of companies to execute this strategy. Our most recent acquisition was
Mesa/Bluemoon Records.

      o Leveraging our core competencies. We plan to leverage the experience,
talent and accomplishments of existing groups into related business areas such
as digital media and other distribution avenues. Our traditional competencies in
the film and music industries provide the foundation for our introduction into
the digital entertainment industry. We have used our existing talents to build
our Digital Entertainment group and to enter into agreements to provide video
production services for content displayed over the Internet and broadband as
well as packaging of music content and information for distribution over the
Internet and broadband.

Recent Developments Since July 1, 1999

      There have been a number of developments in our business since July 1,
1999. These developments include:

      o     Acquisitions and Investments
      o     Financing Transactions
      o     Management Developments
      o     Changes in Consultants

Acquisitions and Investments

      o Acquisition of Straw Dogs. The Straw Dogs acquisition was completed on
December 16, 1999. In the acquisition we purchased, for 900,000 shares of common
stock, substantially all of the business and assets of the Straw Dogs business
of Consolidated Entertainment, LLC and assumed substantially all its
liabilities. Consolidated was owned and operated by Jesse Dylan and Craig
Rodgers. As part of the Straw Dogs acquisition, we also purchased, for 541,000
shares of common stock, all of the stock of a related entity owned by Jesse
Dylan. The shares issued were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. However, Messrs. Dylan and Rodgers have been granted standard
"piggyback" registration rights with respect to these shares.

      o Investment in Eruptor.com. In October 1999, we purchased from Eruptor
Entertainment, a branded internet portal that features a blend of original
content and e-commerce, one million shares of series A convertible preferred
stock for $1,000,000. Eruptor's management plans to produce original episodic
shows, which will be interactive and range from two-dimensional to
three-dimensional animation to live action. As part of the investment we were
given the opportunity to produce Eruptor projects in traditional media forms and
Eruptor was given the right to exploit certain Paradise projects in digital
media form via its internet site.

      o     Joint Venture Arrangements. The Company has also been active in
            establishing numerous joint venture relationships in its three
            operating groups in order to further develop its business.


                                        3
<PAGE>

            These ventures have been described in the previous sections in which
            we have discussed the business of Paradise Music and Paradise
            Digital Entertainment.

Financing Transactions

      In July 1999, investors represented by The Cassandra Group, Inc. purchased
an aggregate 970,880 shares of our common stock at a price of $4.25 per share or
$4,126,240 in the aggregate in a private transaction. We filed a Form S-3
registration statement covering the resale of these 970,880 shares, which was
declared effective by the SEC on July 29, 1999.

      In March 2000, the company completed a $3 million private senior
convertible subordinated financing with private equity funds BayStar Capital
L.P. and BayStar International Ltd. The notes are convertible at $2.375 per
share. In addition, we issued five-year warrants to purchase an additional
631,579 shares at an initial price of $2.6125 per share.

Management Developments

      o     Employment of M. Jay Walkingshaw. Effective on October 1, 1999 M.
            Jay Walkingshaw was appointed as our president and chief operating
            officer. He entered into an agreement through June 30, 2003, which
            provides for a base salary of $450,000 per year plus 600,000 options
            at $5.00 per share vesting one-third each on July 1, 2000, July 1,
            2001 and July 1, 2002, respectively. In addition, he was paid a
            signing bonus of $12,500 in October 1999.

      o     Termination of Jay Moloney. Effective on July 31, 1999 the
            employment agreement of Jay Moloney was terminated. He retained
            100,000 options exercisable at $3.00 per share and 125,000 options
            exercisable at $4.50 per share with both exercisable through July
            31, 2000. The options are now held by his estate.

      o     Hiring of Consultants. From time to time the Company issues warrants
            or options to purchase our shares to attract key individuals to
            enter into consulting or joint venture agreements. During the period
            from July 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, 340,000 warrants were
            issued at prices ranging from $5.00 per share to $5.81 per share.
            These warrants have exercise periods ranging from 3 years to 6
            years.

      In January, 2000 we entered into a consulting agreement with Robert A.
      Buziak under which he is providing business advice, in addition to his
      services as a director, for the period January 26, 2000 through January
      25, 2001. Mr. Buziak received 25,000 two year warrants to purchase shares
      of common stock at $5.00 per share as compensation for his consulting
      services. The warrants vested and were exercisable as of the date of
      grant.

Changes in Consultants and Board

      In December 1999, the Company wrote off charges associated with a
consulting agreement with Dana Giachetto. Mr. Giachetto was retained in April
1999 to assist in identifying acquisition candidates, employee recruitment,
structuring transactions and financing to support the company's growth. As
compensation for these services, he received 200,000 shares of stock and
three-year warrants expiring in April 2002 to purchase 800,000 shares of common
stock at the following prices: 100,000 at $5.00 per share, 150,000 at $6.00 per
share, 150,000 at $7.00 per share, 150,000 at $8.00 per share, 125,000 at $9.00
per share and 125,000 at $10.00 per share. The Company valued the warrants and
stock issued at approximately $2,389,000. As of December 1999, the Company did
not anticipate any further transactions occurring under this agreement. The
write-off resulted in a one time charge of $330,000 for the remainder of prepaid
consulting expenses.

      On January 11, 2000, Brian Doyle, John Loeffler and Jon Small resigned as
members of the Board to devote their full time efforts to our operating
companies. The Board elected Robert A. Buziak as a Director on


                                        4
<PAGE>

the same date. The current Board consists of Chairman Jesse Dylan, Richard J.
Flynn, Thomas J. Edelman, Jeffrey Rosen and Robert A. Buziak.

Competition

      Each of our business groups faces intense competition both for business
and for talent, executives and operating personnel. Paradise Film competes to
secure deals to produce television commercials as part of major national
advertising campaigns for products and services with household name recognition.
It also competes with others in all aspects of the offering of services for
music videos, music television specials and television programs. Many of our
competitors are substantially larger and better financed. Those competitors
include, among others, MJZ, Propaganda, and Radke Films. We also compete with
the other companies for the services of top commercial directors needed to
deliver commercials of the highest quality.

      In our Music Group we currently compete with numerous other businesses and
individuals who produce original music scores and advertising themes for
television, radio and film, produce music videos and specials for television and
provide management for music artists. Currently, the production of original
scores and advertising themes for television, radio and film, the production of
music videos and video specials for television, and music artist management are
carried out by individuals or small privately held niche companies. Generally,
each such individual or small company engages in only one of these businesses.
Many of these businesses and individuals have greater financial resources, and
in many instances longer operating histories, than we do. In our record
businesses we face intense competition for discretionary consumer spending from
numerous other record companies and other forms of entertainment offered by film
companies, video companies and others. We compete directly with other recorded
music companies, including the five major recorded music companies, which
distribute contemporary music, as well as with other record companies for
signing artists and acquiring music catalogs. Many of these competitors have
significantly longer operating histories, greater financial resources and larger
music catalogs than we do. Our ability to compete is dependent upon identifying
such markets, obtaining additional capital, signing and retaining successful
artists and introducing music products which are accepted by consumers.

Organization

      We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 18, 1996 and our
principal executive offices are located at 53 West 23rd Street, New York, New
York, 10010 and our telephone number is (212) 590-2100.

Employees/Independent Contractors

      As of December 31, 1999, we had 48 employees, 22 of whom were located at
our New York office, 9 of whom were located in Nashville, Tennessee and 17 of
whom were located in California. None of our employees is represented by a labor
union. We have not experienced any work stoppage and consider relations with our
employees to be good.

      As is customary in the music business, we also utilize the services of
artists, performers, composers, producers, engineers, roadies, booking agents
and others who are independent contractors. These independent contractors hire
out their services on an as needed basis and receive a set fee for the services.
The services performed by these independent contractors are not needed on a full
time basis. As a result, services of independent contractors are less expensive
than having full time employees perform these services.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

      We lease office space at three locations. Our headquarters and commercial
music recording studios are located at 53 West 23rd Street in New York City
where we lease approximately 20,000 square feet, pursuant to a lease that
expires in July 2007. Our music video production business leases 2,050 square
feet of office space at 209 10th Avenue South in Nashville, Tennessee which
lease expires in August 2000. Our commercial production company


                                        5
<PAGE>

leases approximately 10,000 square feet at 8330 West Third Street, Los Angeles,
CA and approximately 2,500 square feet at 40 Wooster Street, New York, NY, on a
month to month basis. Our rent expense for the transition fiscal year was
approximately $227,000.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      Except for proceedings in the normal course of business, neither Paradise
nor any of our subsidiaries is a party to or involved in any material pending
legal proceedings.

ITEM 4. MATTERS SUBMITTED TO STOCKHOLDER VOTE

      A special meeting of stockholders was held on December 16, 1999. At the
meeting, the stockholders approved the acquisition of Straw Dogs and related
agreements including Employment Agreements with Jesse Dylan and Craig Rodgers,

beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in street name.

      We have never paid a dividend on our common stock. We anticipate that
future earnings, if any, will be retained for use in our business or for other
corporate purposes and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

      Except for those sales previously described on our Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-QSB for the period ended September 30, 1999, we did not issue any equity
securities during the fiscal period from July 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999
which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Summary of Events

      Our company has experienced a number of significant changes recently,
which we believe will lead to greater growth and opportunity. A number of these
developments will immediately affect our financial results and others (such as
some acquisitions) will take more time to have a significant impact as their
businesses develop and they are integrated into our operations:

      o     We raised approximately $9 million in equity and convertible debt
            financing since January 1999, $4 million of which was accomplished
            during the six months ended December 31, 1999 and $3 million during
            March 2000.
      o     We strengthened our Board of Directors by reducing the number of
            insiders and providing for experienced industry outsiders to advise
            us. Our first appointment was Robert A. Buziak in January 2000. Mr.
            Buziak is an experienced record company executive.
      o     We strengthened our management team with the addition of:
                  o     Jesse Dylan as our Chairman and CEO
                  o     M. Jay Walkingshaw as our President and COO
                  o     Bruce Boucher as our VP Finance
      o     We also formed and staffed a business development effort in order to
            identify opportunities and acquisition candidates in our core
            businesses and develop our digital business.
      o     Experienced executives run each of our divisions and we have
            refocused their responsibilities to focus solely on the operations
            of their divisions.
      o     We acquired Straw Dogs (December 1999) and related companies, which
            greatly expands our Television and Film Group. Straw Dogs had
            approximately $20 million in revenues for the year ended June 30,
            1999.
      o     We restructured our Music Group to focus on niche record labels
            rather than the pop market. This has the effect of reducing the
            amount of capital required as well as the risk. We made progress in
            developing our presence in the Smooth Jazz and Electronic genre and
            will shortly be moving into World Music among others. Our first
            release under this approach was "Jazzmasters III" a Paul Hardcastle
            Production that has sold in excess of 130,000 units since its
            release in June 1999.
      o     We acquired the Mesa/Blue Moon labels (March 2000), which are
            respected names in the World Music and Smooth Jazz areas
            respectively.
      o     We formed a joint venture with Kinetic Records to release albums in
            the emerging Electronic Music Genre. Our first release, Dave Ralph's
            "Tranceport II" was released in November 1999.
      o     We created Paradise Digital Productions (January 2000) in order to
            leverage our capabilities in the Film and Television areas into the
            emerging digital production market. We created a number of programs
            for both Eruptor and Wirebreak and in both cases additional
            productions will be forthcoming. We recently produced the Yahoo!
            Online Magazine Film Festival (March 22-23, 2000) in Los Angeles and
            the subsequent webcast.
      o     Our Rave subsidiary continues to supply the creative music for the
            expanding POKEMON franchise, with several new projects scheduled for
            the year 2000. During the first quarter of 2000, we also
            restructured our marketing and operational efforts in the theme
            music and jingle business.

Results of Operations for the six months ended December 31, 1999

      In aggregate revenues for the six months ending December 31, 1999
increased $2,303,222 or 40% compared to the six-month period ending December 31,
1998. The net loss was $1,296,243 for the six months ending December 31, 1999
compared to $1,344,737 for the six months ending December 31, 1998. A major
portion of the loss during the six months ending December 31, 1999, is $701,459
in non-cash expenses associated with warrants, and $105,000 in professional fees
associated with changing our fiscal year end. Earnings before interest, taxes
depreciation and amortization and run-cash consulting expense for the six months
ended December 31, 1999, excluding one-time charges described above, was a loss
of $410,200 compared to a loss of $1,352,411 for the six months ended December
31, 1998.

      Paradise Film revenues increased to $4,429,544 for the six months ended
December 31, 1999 from $4,103,985 for the six months ended December 31, 1998 an
increase of $325,559 or 7.9% (revenue from the acquisition of Straw Dogs is not
included). The increase in revenues is primarily due to an increase in the
number of television music specials and music videos produced during the six
months ended December 31, 1999.

      Paradise Film cost of sales decreased slightly to $3,299,034 for six
months ended December 31, 1999 from $3,369,926 for the six months ended December
31, 1998, a decrease of $70,892 or 2.1%. Gross profit as a percentage of
television and film production revenues increased to 25.5% for the six months
ended December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher
gross profit percentage on the television music specials.

      Paradise Music revenues increased to $3,652,809 for the six months ended
December 31, 1999 from $1,675,146 for the six months ended December 31, 1998 an
increase of $1,977,663 or 118%. The increase in revenues is primarily due to the
increased sales generated from the Paul Hardcastle and JazzMasters III releases
through the company's joint venture with the adult contemporary jazz label,
Trippin' `N Rhythm Records, and the release of Tranceport II through the
company's joint venture with Kinetic Records. In addition there was an increase
in royalty and residual revenues from original music scores made for television
programs such as Pokemon. These increases in revenue are partially offset by the
reduction of concerts performed by artists under management. The recorded music
operation has been restructured to decrease operating overhead by having fewer
releases of new records and by forming joint ventures with other companies
willing to absorb the costs associated with the production, marketing and
promotion of records.

      Paradise Music cost of sales increased to $1,830,771 for six months ended
December 31, 1999 from $556,663 for six months ended December 31, 1998, an
increase of $1,274,108 or 229% The increase is due to greater overall album
sales when compared to the six months ended December 30, 1998. Gross profit as a
percentage of recorded music and artist management revenues was 50% for the six
months ended December 31, 1999 compared to 67% for the six months ended December
31, 1998. The decreased margin is due to the increase in sales of recorded music
product compared to higher margin artist management commissions in the prior
year.

      Paradise's marketing, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to $3,599,107 for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from
$3,220,416 for the six months ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $378,691
or 11.8%. The increase is primarily attributable to fees associated with
services provided to Paradise pursuant to outside consulting arrangements with
regard to new business ventures and changing fiscal years. These fees were paid
predominately through the use of common stock purchase warrants.

      For the six months ending December 31, 1999, Paradise incurred a one-time
non-cash charge associated with writing off certain warrants. These warrants
were granted to an individual to assist in identifying acquisition candidates,
employee recruitment, structuring transactions and financing to support the
company's growth. As of


                                       8
<PAGE>

December 1999, the Company did not anticipate any further transactions occurring
under this agreement. The write-off resulted in a one time charge of $330,000
for the remainder of prepaid consulting expenses.

      Interest income increased to $71,775 for the six months ended December 31,
1999 from $25,537 for the six months ended December 31, 1998 an increase of
$46,238 or 181.1%. The increase resulted from additional investment balances
from Paradise's financing transactions during the last six month period ended
December 31, 1999.

      The Company's loss before income taxes decreased to $1,276,243 for the six
months ended December 31, 1999 from $1,341,737 for the six months ended December
31, 1998, a decrease of $65,495 or 4.9%. The decrease was primarily due to
increased profitability from the two operating segments as mentioned above.
These increases are partially offset by non-cash write-offs of certain warrants
and professional fees associated with changing our fiscal year.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to June 30, 1998

      Recorded music and artist management revenues decreased to $3,167,863 for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 from $4,596,257 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998 a decrease of $1,428,394 or 31.1%. The decrease in revenues is
primarily due to the reduction in sales volume of Daryl Hall and John Oates
album "Marigold Sky", in addition to a reduction of touring of artists under
management.

      Television and film production revenues decreased to $6,493,173 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 from $8,997,169 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1998 a decrease of $2,503,996 or 27.8%. The decrease in revenues is
primarily due to a reduction in the number of television music specials produced
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, partially offset by an increase in
royalty and residual revenues from original music scores made for television
programs such as Pokemon and Mr. Men.

      Cost of sales decreased to $6,305,511 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1999 from $9,761,508 for fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of
$3,455,997 or 35.4%. The decrease is due to fewer record releases and lower
overall album sales when compared to the prior year and a new distribution
agreement Push Records executed with V2 Records which reduced Push Record's
costs to produce and market the recordings and provides for a portion of the
profits from such recordings to be shared with V2.

      Paradise's marketing, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to $7,101,023 for fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 form $6,828,087 for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $272,936 or 4%. The increase
in primarily attributable to fees associated with services provided to Paradise
pursuant to outside consulting arrangements with regard to liquidity and
acquisitions. These fees were paid predominately through the use of common stock
purchase warrants. The increase in marketing, sales, general and administrative
expenses were partially offset by decreases in other administration costs as a
result of staff reductions and other cost containment measures implemented.

      Interest income decreased to $37,569 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1999 from $139,040 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of
$101,471 or 72.9% The decrease resulted from the use of proceeds from Paradise's
initial public offering during fiscal 1998, which were invested in interest
bearing accounts.

      Paradise's loss before income taxes increased to $3,707,929 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1999 from $2,857,129 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998, an increase of $850,800 or 29.8%. The increase was primarily due to the
decrease in gross profits realized by the two operating segments as mentioned
above, as well as one-time items that impacted fiscal operating results which
include, fees associated with the hiring of key management personnel to drive
Paradise forward in its new growth phase; certain charges relating to the
restructuring of the Push Records subsidiary; and a charge associated with the
termination of Push's record distribution agreement with BMG, precipitated by
its new joint venture with V2; all of which reflected efforts to recapitalized
and restructure Paradise's core businesses.

Liquidity and Capital Resource

      Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December
31, 1999 was $2,259,751. This was principally due to the operating loss for the
period combined with the increase in accounts receivables.

      Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December
31, 1999 was $1,350,259. This was principally due to acquisition costs
associated with the purchase of Straw Dogs, and the investment in Eruptor
Entertainment, Inc.

      Net cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999 was $4,310,675, which is represented substantially by the net
proceeds from the sales of the Company's common stock, net of expenses

      Paradise has working capital of $1,758,492 and stockholders' equity of
$12,425,108 at December 31, 1999. In March 2000, the company completed a $3
million private senior convertible subordinated financing with private equity
funds BayStar Capital, L.P. and BayStar International Ltd. The notes are
convertible at $2.375 per share. In addition, we issued five-year warrants to
purchase an additional 631,579 shares at an initial price of $2.6125 per share.
The company believes that its cash, operating cash flows and its access to
capital markets, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing
operating requirements and capital expenditures related to the expansion of
existing businesses, future acquisitions and development of new projects for the
next twelve month period.

Year 2000 Compliance

      The widespread use of computer programs that rely on two-digit dates to
perform computation and decision-making functions may cause computer systems,
including systems and software used by our company and our websites, to
malfunction in the Year 2000, and may lead to significant business delays and
disruptions in our business and operations. We have completed our plan to
minimize the impact of this Year 2000 problem on our operations. The expense
incurred by Paradise to achieve compliance has not been material. To date, we
have not experienced any significant Year 2000 problems and, therefore, the risk
that any Year 2000 problems will occur in the future has diminished
significantly.

      In addition to our internal systems, several systems provided by third
parties are required for the operation of our services, any of which may contain
software code that still might prove not to be Year 2000 compliant. These
systems include server software used to operate our network servers, firewall,
security, monitoring and back-up software, as well as desktop PC applications
software. In most cases, we employ widely available software applications and
other products from leading third-party vendors, and expect that these vendors
will provide any required upgrades or modifications in a timely fashion.
However, any failure of third-party suppliers to provide Year 2000 compliant
versions of the products used by us could result in a temporary disruption of
our services or otherwise disrupt our operations. Although to date we have not
experienced any material disruptions in our operations, an undiscovered failure
to achieve Year 2000 compliance by third-party systems could result in


                                        9
<PAGE>

failure or inaccessibility of our services and could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      See the index to our financial statements attached hereto.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
        FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

      On February 7, 2000, the Company dismissed Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C.
as its principal accountant. The Company appointed Ernst & Young LLP as its
principal accountant effective as of February 7, 2000. This change in the
principal accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on
February 7, 2000.

      Rothstein, Kass & Company's report on the financial statements for June
30, 1999 and the year then ended and through the date of this report, contained
no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles. Rothstein Kass & Company's report on the
financial statements for June 30, 1998 and the year then ended contained no
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, but it did contain an explanatory
paragraph as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

      The Company is not, nor has ever been involved in any dispute or
disagreement about any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, audit scope or procedures, or any reportable events with
Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C.

promissory note is collateralized by 200,000 shares of the executive's common
stock of the company and provides for mandatory prepayments as defined in the
agreement. As of December 31, 1999, $70,878 is outstanding under this promissory
note.

The Company entered into a ten year lease with 8330 West Third Street, LLC, an
affiliate of Mr. Dylan and Mr. Rodgers for 10,147 square feet of space at the
rental rate of $2.25 per square foot per month. This rate is subject to
escalation in accordance with inflation after 5 years. The rental rate was
determined by an independent appraisal of market rate.

As described in the proxy statement dated November 10, 1999, for the special
meeting of stockholders held on December 16, 1999, at which the Straw Dogs
acquisition was approved, the Asset Purchase agreement between the Company and
Straw Dogs was supplemented by a letter agreement dated September 22, 1999. An
exhibit to the letter agreement set forth the agreed upon terms covering the
leasing of space by the Company from 8330 West Third Street, LLC.

8330 West Third Street, LLC, signed a promissory note payable to the Company,
dated December 16, 1999 which will reflect the full indebtedness owed the
Company. The note provides for monthly payments by 8330 West Third Street, LLC
to the Company pursuant to a ten year self amortizing payment schedule with
interest at prime plus 1% floating quarterly with a floor of 6% and capped at 12
1/2%. The payment obligation under the note has been acknowledged by Mr. Dylan
and Mr. Rodgers as their personal obligation as provided for in the Asset
Purchase Agreement.

made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present

              PARADISE MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

      Paradise Music & Entertainment, Inc. ("Paradise") was formed in July 1996.
      We are a music and entertainment company focused on supplying traditional
      and web-centric entertainment businesses with state-of-the art, film,
      video, digital and music-related products, services and content. Our
      products, content and services are offered through three operating groups,
      namely:

      Paradise Film includes Straw Dogs Acquisition Corporation (Straw Dogs) a
      video production company incorporated in April 1999 in Delaware and
      Picture Vision, Inc. ("Picture Vision") a video production company
      incorporated in Tennessee). Straw Dogs was acquired in late December 1999.
      The operation of Straw Dogs will be included in operations from January 1,
      2000.

      Paradise Music includes Push Records , Inc. ("Push") a record label which
      was incorporated in Delaware, John Loeffler Music, Inc. (which operates
      under the name of Rave Music and Entertainment) ("Rave") a creator of
      music scores and advertising themes for television and radio, incorporated
      in New York, and All Access Entertainment Management Group, Inc. ("All
      Access"), a musical artist management company incorporated in New York)

      Paradise Digital Entertainment includes Paradise Digital Productions,
      Inc., which is incorporated in Delaware.

      In February 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change
      in the Company's year end from June 30 to December 31. The accompanying
      financial statements are for the transition period from July 1, 1999 to
      December 31, 1999. Unaudited comparable data for the six months ended
      December 31, 1998 has been presented in the accompanying financial
      statements.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
      include the accounts of Paradise and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, All
      Access, Picture Vision, Rave, Push and Straw Dogs (collectively the
      "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
      been eliminated in consolidation.

      Revenue Recognition - Commercial music production revenues and the related
      production costs are recognized upon acceptance of the music production by
      the client. Royalty and residual income which relates to musical
      compositions used in television series are recognized when earned and the
      amount can be reasonably estimated. All other royalty and residual income
      is recognized when received as it cannot be reasonably estimated. For
      projects which are short in duration, (primarily less than one month)
      video production revenues and related production costs are recorded upon
      completion of the video. For projects that have a longer term, video
      production revenues and related production costs are recorded using the
      percentage-of-completion method which recognizes income as work on the
      project progresses. In accordance with industry custom, the Company
      currently operates its music artist management business based on oral
      agreements with certain artists and customers. Pursuant to these
      arrangements the Company receives up to 20% of the gross revenues received
      in connection with artist entertainment related earnings less certain
      standard industry costs. Record label revenues are recognized in
      accordance with the provisions of the various distribution agreements.
      Certain record costs are capitalized as recoverable from future revenues
      and amortized over the expected life of the records, to the extent there
      is reasonable assurance that these costs will be recoverable from future
      sales. The Company is accounting for these costs in accordance with
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 50 "Financial
      Reporting in the Record and Music Industry."

      Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid
      investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be
      cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts
      which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
      incurred any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any
      significant credit risk on cash.

              PARADISE MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

      Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost less
      accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization
      is computed as follows:

                                             Estimated
               Asset                        Useful Lives      Principal Method
               -----                        ------------      ----------------

      Furniture, fixtures and equipment        5-7 Years       Straight-line
      Leasehold improvements               Term of Lease       Straight-line
                                             or 10 years
                                    whichever is shorter

      Impairment of Long Lived Assets - Impairment losses on long-lived assets
      (including goodwill) is recognized when events and circumstances indicate
      that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets
      are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.

      Investment - Investments in nonmarketable equity securities in which the
      Company owns less than a 20% interest and where it cannot exercise
      significant influence over the operations of the investee, are accounted
      for using the cost method. The Company periodically evaluates the
      recoverability of investments recorded under the cost method and
      recognizes loss if a decline in value is determined to be other than
      temporary.

      Stock Warrants - Stock warrants issued for goods and services are
      accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18,
      Accounting for Warrants that are Issued to other than Employees for
      Acquisition, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services.
      Accordingly warrants subject to vesting based on performance, will be
      valued each reporting period until vested. The portion of the value
      related to the completed term of the related agreement is expensed, and
      the remaining non-cash deferred consulting expense is amortized over the
      remaining term of the agreement. The value of such related warrants may be
      subject to adjustment until such time that the warrant is nonforfeitable,
      fully vested and exercisable.

      Income Taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for
      differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
      liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the
      future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in
      which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
      allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income
      tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

      Loss Per Common Share - Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is
      computed by dividing loss applicable to common stockholders by the
      weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
      Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could
      occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
      exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
      common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted loss
      per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for all
      periods presented. Unexercised stock options to purchase 2,707,500 and
      1,062,500 shares of the Company's common stock at December 31, 1999 and
      June 30, 1999, respectively, were not included in the computations of
      diluted earnings per common share because their effect would have been
      antidilutive as a result of the Company's losses.

      Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair value of the Company's
      assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under SFAS
      No. 107 "Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments,"
      approximate the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance
      sheet.

      Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
      conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and

      liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
      reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
      Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Reclassification - Certain amounts from prior period financial statements
      have been reclassified to conform to current year classification

NOTE 3 - STRAW DOGS ACQUISITION

      The Straw Dogs acquisition was completed on December 16, 1999. In the
      acquisition we purchased, for 900,000 shares of common stock and warrants
      for 250,000 shares of common stock at $5.81, substantially all of the
      business and assets of the Straw Dogs business of Consolidated
      Entertainment, LLC and assumed substantially all its liabilities.
      Consolidated was owned and operated by Jesse Dylan and Craig Rodgers. As
      part of the Straw Dogs acquisition, we also purchased, for 541,000 shares
      of common stock, all of the stock of a related entity owned by Jesse
      Dylan. The shares issued were not registered under the Securities Act of
      1933, as amended. However, Messrs. Dylan and Rodgers have been granted
      standard "piggyback" registration rights with respect to these shares.

      The total purchase price of $7.1 million has been allocated to the
      following assets and liabilities:

                                             (in thousands)

                    Current Assets                    2,906
                    Other Assets                      1,273
                    Goodwill                          7,068
                    Current liabilities               4,167

      The following unaudited pro format condensed consolidated financial
      information for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended
      June 30, 1999, is presented to show the results of the company, as if the
      Straw Dogs acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods
      presented. The pro forma results include certain adjustments, including
      increased amortization related to goodwill, and are not necessarily
      indicative of what the results would have been had the transactions
      actually occurred on the aforementioned dates.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES:

      The provision for income taxes consists of state and local taxes.

      At December 31, 1999, the Company recorded deferred federal, state and
      local income tax assets aggregating approximately $3,540,000 arising from
      net operating loss carryforwards ($2,910,000) and issuance of warrants
      ($630,000). A valuation allowance of approximately $3,540,000 has been
      recorded, since management has no assurance that the tax benefit will be
      realized.

      carryforwards of approximately $7,262,929, which expire beginning in 2012.

<PAGE>

annually, with respect to possible increases only, by Employer's Compensation
Committee with bonus awards or increases in salary to be considered based on the
Executive's and Employer's performance. The determination of bonus awards will
take into account Employer's overall profitability, growth, capital appreciation
and unused vacation. Such awards may consist of all or a combination of cash,
stock, stock options, stock warrants, stock appreciation rights or other forms
of non-cash compensation as mutually agreed upon between the Compensation
Committee and the Executive.

            (b) In addition to the compensation set forth in Section 4(a) above,

supplemented, without cost to the Executive, an S-8 registration statement
covering the shares to be issued upon exercise of the option, as well as an S-8
reoffer prospectus pursuant to which the Executive can make unrestricted sales

      5. Benefits.

            (a) During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate

policy to a life insurance trust for estate planning purposes.

            (b) The Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid
vacation per year.

            (c) Employer hereby agrees to indemnify, release and hold harmless
the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including
without limitation, when and if (i) he is the subject of any claim or is or
becomes a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, administrative,
investigative or criminal by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer,
director, employee, consultant or agent to Employer, its subsidiaries and/or
affiliates, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in
such capacity; (ii) against any and all costs, charges and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and other fees and expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by the Executive in connection therewith and any appeal therefrom if the
Executive acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
the best interests of the Employer, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no


                                        2
<PAGE>

reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
civil action, suit or proceeding by settlement or consent decree shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the Executive did not satisfy the foregoing
standard of conduct to the extent applicable thereto. The Executive shall be
added as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies now in
force or hereafter obtained covering any officer of the Company in his capacity
as an officer.

            (d) Employer shall reimburse the Executive for all properly

reasonably necessary to enable Employer to obtain such life insurance.

      7. Discharge by Employer.

            (a) Discharge for Cause. Employer shall be entitled to immediately
terminate the Term and to discharge the Executive for cause, which shall be
limited to the following grounds:

                  (i) Conviction of a felony involving any financial impropriety
or which would materially interfere with the Executive's ability to perform his
services required under this Agreement; or

                  (ii) Commission of a willful or intentional act of moral
turpitude which reasonably could be expected to materially injure the
reputation, business or business relationships of Employer, including acts of
moral turpitude such as continuing alcohol or substance abuse or the material
violation of the terms of Sections 10 and 11 hereof, which is not cured within
30 days after Executive has received a written notice from the Company stating
in reasonable detail the willful or intentional act(s) at issue and the nature
of the injury or damage. The preceding terms of this Section 7(a)(ii) shall not
be applicable to any acts of the Executive that are undertaken in good faith in
executing his duties under this Agreement.

            (b) Termination Without Cause. In the event the Executive's
employment hereunder is terminated by Employer other than pursuant to Section
7(a) or Section 8, or if the Executive's employment is terminated by the
Executive for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the following:

                  (i) The Annual Salary that the Executive would have received
for the remaining balance of the Term, payable in accordance with Employer's

<PAGE>

                  (iii) Full vesting of all stock options issued to the

shall have the right to exercise such options during the remainder of the ten

any claims with respect to events, actions, etc. which arose prior to the
Executive's termination and which claims are made prior to the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations.

                  (v) All other reimbursements, unpaid bonuses and other
payments due to the Executive shall be paid in full within ten (10) business
days following the effective date of such termination.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean, without the express
written consent of the Executive, the occurrence of any of the following events
unless such events are fully corrected within 30 days following written
notification by the Executive to Employer that he intends to terminate his
employment hereunder for one of the reasons set forth below, which notice shall
specify the nature of such breach or event in reasonable detail:

                  (i) A material breach by Employer of any provision of this
Agreement; or

                  (ii) Any change in the Board of Directors of Employer pursuant
to a "change in control" of Employer.

Executive shall be entitled to all amounts provided in (b) and shall have no
duty to mitigate damages.

      8. Disability, Death.

            (a) If the Executive shall be unable to perform his duties hereunder
by virtue of illness or physical or mental incapacity or disability (from any
cause or causes whatsoever) in substantially the manner and to the extent
required hereunder prior to the commencement of such disability as determined by
a competent medical doctor (all such causes being herein referred to as
"Disability") and the Executive shall fail to have performed substantially such
duties for 90 consecutive days or for periods aggregating 180 days, whether or
not continuous, in any continuous period of one year (such 90th or 180th day to
be known as the "Disability Date"), Employer shall have the right to terminate
the Executive's employment hereunder as at the end of any calendar month
thereafter upon written notice to him. The Executive shall be entitled to his
Annual Salary for the remainder of the fiscal year in which the Disability Date
occurred plus all bonuses earned through the Disability Date for such fiscal
year.

            (b) In case of the death of the Executive, this Agreement shall
terminate and Employer shall be obligated to pay to the Executive's estate or as
otherwise directed by


                                        4
<PAGE>

the Executive's duly appointed and authorized legal representative, the Annual
Salary for the remainder of the fiscal year in which death occurs and all
bonuses earned through the date of death for such fiscal year.

      9. Voluntary Termination. If the Executive voluntarily terminates his
employment prior to the end of the Term, he shall only be entitled to receive
compensation accrued through the date of termination. Nothing contained in this
Section 9 shall be deemed or construed to provide or grant Employer the right to
terminate this Agreement other than in accordance with Section 7 or Section 8.

      10. Confidential Information. The Executive recognizes that he will occupy
a position of trust with respect to business and technical information of a
secret or confidential nature which is the property of Employer, or any of its
affiliates, and which has been and will be imparted to him from time to time in
the course of his employment with Employer. In light of this understanding, the
Executive agrees that:

            (a) the Executive shall not at any time knowingly use or disclose,
directly or indirectly, any of the confidential information or trade secrets
which is the property of Employer, or any of its affiliates, to any person,
except that he may use and disclose to authorized Employer personnel, licensees
or franchisees in the course of his employment; and

            (b) within five (5) days from the date upon which his employment
with Employer is terminated, for any reason or for no reason, or otherwise upon
the request of Employer, he shall return to Employer any and all documents and
materials which constitute or contain the confidential information or trade
secrets of Employer, or any of its affiliates.

For purposes of this Agreement, the terms "confidential information" or "trade
secrets" shall include all information of any nature and in any form which is
owned by Employer, or any of its affiliates, and which is not publicly available
or generally known to persons engaged in businesses similar to that of Employer,
or any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Executive's
employment with Employer is terminated, for whatever reason, the limitations
provided in this Section 10 shall not prevent the Executive from using for his
own benefit any information which he acquired prior to the Effective Date.

      11. Non-Competition.

            (a) The Executive agrees that his services hereunder are of a
special character, and his position with Employer places him in a position of
confidence and trust with Employer's artists, clients, customers and employees.
The Executive and Employer agree that in the course of employment hereunder, the
Executive has and will continue to develop a personal acquaintanceship and
relationship with Employer's artists, clients and customers, and a knowledge of
those artists', clients' and customers' affairs and requirements which may
constitute Employer's primary or only contact with such artists, clients and
customers. The Executive consequently agrees that it is reasonable and necessary
for the protection of the goodwill and business of Employer that the Executive
make the covenants contained herein and that Employer would not have entered
into this Agreement or the


                                        5
<PAGE>

Purchase Agreement unless the covenants set forth in this Section 11 were
contained in this Agreement. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that while he is
in Employer's employ, and for a three month period thereafter the Executive will
not, without the prior written consent of Employer, either directly or
indirectly, or in any capacity whether as a promoter, proprietor, partner, joint
venturer, employee, agent, consultant, director, officer, manager, equity holder
(except (i) as an equity holder holding less than five percent (5%) of a
publicly traded company's issued and outstanding equity securities, or otherwise
or (ii) as a passive investor in private companies in amounts up to $1,000,000,
provided that investments above $1,000,000 shall be permitted if first offered
to Employer), work for, act as a consultant to or own any interest in any direct
competitor of Employer which operates in or provides services essentially the
same as Employer in any portion of the geographic territory where Employer
operates or sells its products or services, except as allowed pursuant to
Section 3(b) of this Agreement. Subject to Section 3(b), the preceding sentence
shall not prevent or preclude the Executive from engaging in a business activity
that is not competitive with Employer if Employer thereafter engages in such
business activity. The foregoing restrictions are hereinafter referred to as the
"Non-Compete Restrictions". The Executive further agrees that during the Term,
and for the one year period following the Executive's termination of employment
with Employer, the Executive will not solicit any employee of Employer (i) to
become, an employee of Employer, (ii) to alter, terminate or refrain from
extending or renewing any contractual or other relationship with Employer, or
(iii) to commence a similar or substantially similar relationship with the
Executive, any entity with whom the Executive is affiliated or employed by or
any direct competitor of Employer. The restrictions in the immediately preceding
sentence are hereinafter referred to as the "Non-Solicitation Restrictions". If
the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment prior to the end of the Term
or if Employer terminates the Executive's employment for reasons of cause prior
to the end of the Term, the Non-Compete Restrictions and the Non-Solicitation
Restrictions shall apply for a period of one year following such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employer breaches any provision of this
Agreement, which breach is not cured within 10 days after written notice thereof
from the Executive to Employer, the Non-Compete Restrictions shall not apply.

            (b) As used in this Section 11, the term "Employer" shall include
subsidiaries of Employer, and the term "employee" shall mean any person who is
then, or who had been at any time during the three month period immediately
preceding the date of termination of the Executive's employment, an employee of
Employer.

            (c) The parties hereto agree that the duration and area for which
the covenant not to compete set forth herein is to be effective are reasonable.
In the event that any court determines that the time period or the area, or both
of them, are unreasonable and that such covenant is to that extent
unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the covenant shall remain in full
force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest area that
would not render it unenforceable.

            (d) The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Executive
against Employer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not
constitute a defense to the enforcement by Employer of those covenants and
agreements.


                                        6
<PAGE>

      12. Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute by and among the parties hereto
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the terms, conditions or a breach
thereof, or the rights or obligations of the parties with respect thereto, shall
be arbitrated in the City of New York, New York, before and pursuant to then
applicable commercial rules and regulations of Jams - Endispute, or any
successor organization. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by a
panel of three arbitrators, one of whom shall be selected by Employer, one by
the Executive (or his legal representative) and the third arbitrator by the
first two so chosen. The parties shall use their best efforts to assure that the
selection of the arbitrators shall be completed within 30 days and the parties
shall use their best efforts to complete the arbitration as quickly as possible.
In such proceeding, the arbitration panel shall determine who is a substantially
prevailing party and shall award to such party its reasonable attorneys',
accountants' and other professionals' fees and its costs incurred in connection
with the proceeding. The award of the arbitration panel shall be final, binding
upon the parties and nonappealable and may be entered in and enforced by any
court of competent jurisdiction. Such court may add to the award of the
arbitration panel additional reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by
the substantially prevailing party in attempting to enforce such award.

      13. Enforceability. The failure of either party at any time to require
performance by the other party of any provision hereunder shall in no way affect
the right of that party thereafter to enforce the same, nor shall it affect any
other party's right to enforce the same, or to enforce any of the other
provisions of this Agreement; nor shall the waiver by either party of the breach
of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any subsequent breach
of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.

      14. Assignment. This Agreement is a personal contract and the Executive's
rights and obligations hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged
or hypothecated by the Executive. The rights and obligations of Employer
hereunder shall be binding upon and run in favor of the successors and assigns
of Employer. If any assignment or transfer of rights hereunder is attempted by
the Executive contrary to the provisions hereof, Employer shall have no further
liability for payments hereunder.

      15. Modification. This Agreement may not be canceled, changed, modified or
amended orally, and no cancellation, change, modification or amendment shall be
effective or binding, unless it is in writing, signed by both parties to this
Agreement.

      16. Severability, Survival. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be void and unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement nevertheless shall be binding upon the parties with
the same effect as though the void or enforceable part has been Severed and
deleted.

      17. Notice. Notices given pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, or by
telex, telecopier or telegraph, charges prepaid, to the following address or
such other address as shall be specified by written notice:

with other employees of the Company in a competent and professional manner; and
(iv) generally promote the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Executive may engage in additional activities if such activities
are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of Paradise. After such
approval Schedule A shall be amended to include such activities.

            (c) The Executive's principal place of employment shall be at the
principal offices of the Company (and such locations to which such principal
office shall be relocated) subject to reasonable travel requirements on behalf
of the Company. If during the Term, the Company or Paradise requires the
Executive to move his principal place of business outside of the greater
Nashville metropolitan area (a radius of more than 30 miles from Nashville,
Tennessee) and Executive chooses not to accept such relocation, then the
Executive may so advise the Company, in writing, and this Agreement shall be
deemed null and void and no longer of any force and effect, and Executive shall
be released from all provisions and restrictions contained herein, including,
without limitation, the restrictions set forth in Section 11 hereof As
severance, the Company shall pay to the Executive, in equal monthly installments
compensation at the applicable Base Salary rate in effect for such month for the
remainder of the Term. Such severance shall be in lieu of any other claims of
Executive under this Agreement which are not accrued as of the date of
termination.

      4. Compensation.

            (a) As compensation for services rendered hereunder and in
consideration of his agreement not to compete as set forth in Section 11 below,
the Company shall pay the Executive during the Term, in accordance with the
Company's normal payroll practices. During the fiscal year July 1, 1999 through
June 30, 2000 ("Fiscal Year 2000") compensation shall be paid at an annual rate
of $375,000 ("Base Salary"). The Base Salary shall be $387,500 for Fiscal Year
2001 and $400,000 for Fiscal Year 2002. The Executive's compensation will be
reviewed annually by Employer's Compensation Committee with bonus awards or
increases in salary to be considered based on the Executive's and Employer's
performance. The determination of bonus awards will take into account Employer's
overall profitability, growth and capital appreciation. Such awards may consist
of all or a combination of cash, stock, stock options, stock warrants, stock
appreciation rights or other forms of non-cash compensation as mutually agreed
upon between the Compensation Committee and the Executive.

            (b) The Executive shall be entitled with respect to Fiscal Year 1999
to a cash bonus of $125,000, less applicable withholding taxes, if the Company's
audited pre-tax income is greater than $500,000. In each of Fiscal Years 2000,
2001 and 2002 the Executive shall be entitled to a cash bonus of $100,000, less
applicable withholding taxes, if the audited


                                        2
<PAGE>

Pre-Tax Income of the Company for such fiscal year is in excess of $500,000. For
purposes hereof, "Company Pre-Tax Income" shall mean: the revenues of the
Company of every kind and nature; less the actual expenses related to the
operation of the business of the Company. Company Pre-Tax Income shall be
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied as determined by the Company's accountants ("GAAP"). In
connection with such computation there shall be no charge for general
administrative expenses of Paradise which are not directly related to the
Company's business. As an example no charge shall be made for any portion of the
salary of the CEO of Paradise. In addition no charge shall be made for
amortization of any goodwill other than goodwill, if any, charged to the Company
for direct activities from and after July 1, 1999. A statement of the
calculation of Company Pre-Tax Income shall be delivered to Executive within 30
days after the audited financial statements of Paradise have been issued. At the
time of delivery of such statement, the cash bonus due, if any, less applicable
withholding amounts, shall be paid to Executive. The Executive shall have the
right to audit the computation of Company Pre-Tax Income, upon prior written
notice, once with respect to each fiscal year. In the event that Company Pre-Tax
Income has been understated by more than 10%, the Company shall reimburse the
Executive for the cost of such audit.

            (c) Additional compensation may be awarded to the Executive and
other employees of the Company, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee
of Paradise, to reward outstanding performance. Such compensation may include
awards comprising cash, stock, stock options or other forms of compensation.

            (d) The Executive has been granted, subject only to the execution of
this Agreement 50,000 three year non-qualified stock options vesting April 20,
2001 at an exercise price of $5.25 per share, and 65,000 three year
non-qualified stock options vesting immediately at an exercise price of $5.25
per share and 25,000 ten year options at an exercise price of $5 per share
vesting in installments of one-third each on the first, second and third
anniversary date of this Agreement.

      5. Benefits.

            (a) During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate
in the benefit plans established by Paradise for the benefit of its key senior
executives.

            (b) The Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid
vacation per year. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement of all
business expenses incurred by him on behalf of the Company provided that such
expenses have been incurred in accordance with the policies of the Company and
have been documented in accordance with the policies of the Company.

            (c) Paradise shall establish a retirement plan (the "Plan")
qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"). The Plan shall provide for a contribution by Paradise
to the retirement account for Executive established under the Plan of an amount
designated by the Executive up to the maximum


                                        3
<PAGE>

amount permitted under the Plan. Such contribution amount shall reduce the
amount of the cash compensation otherwise to be paid to the Executive under
Section 4 for the fiscal year to which it relates on a dollar for dollar basis.

            (d) Paradise, hereby agrees to indemnify, release and hold harmless
the Executive subject only to the limits provided under the law of the state of
Delaware, when and if he is the subject of any claim or is or becomes a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, administrative, investigative or criminal by
reason of the fact that he is or was an officer, director, employee, consultant
or agent to Paradise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or
omitted in such capacity; (ii) against any and all claims, losses liabilities,
costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' and other fees and expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection
therewith and any appeal therefrom provided that with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, the Executive had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any civil action, suit or proceeding by
settlement or consent decree shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the
Executive did not satisfy the foregoing standard of conduct to the extent
applicable thereto. Paradise shall include the Executive in the Directors and
Officers' liability policy then maintained by Paradise for its directors and
senior executives.

            (e) Paradise shall maintain a term life insurance policy for the
benefit of the Executive in an amount of $750,000 unless term life insurance in
excess of this amount is provided to the Executive as part of an overall group
policy and further provided that Executive can be insured by a reputable
insurance company at rates prevailing in the City of New York for healthy men of
his age. If such coverage is not available to Executive at such prevailing
rates, Executive will be provided with an amount of insurance which is equal in
cost to what the cost would have been at such prevailing rates or alternatively
Executive shall pay the differential between the actual cost and the cost that
would have been incurred if Executive had so qualified.

      6. Key Man Insurance. Paradise shall have the right to obtain key man life
insurance for the benefit of Paradise on the life of the Executive. If requested
by Paradise, the Executive shall submit to such physical examination and
otherwise take such actions and execute and deliver such documents as may be
reasonably necessary to enable Paradise to obtain such life insurance. The
Executive has no reason to believe that his life is not insurable with a
reputable insurance company at rates now prevailing in the City of New York for
healthy men of his age, provided that failure in the future of the Executive not
to so qualify shall not be a breach of this Agreement.

      7. Discharge by Employer.

            (a) Discharge for Cause. The Employer shall be entitled to
immediately terminate the Term and to discharge the Executive for cause, which
shall be limited to the following grounds:


                                        4
<PAGE>

            (i) Conviction of a felony with respect to any criminal act
involving the Employer; or

            (ii) Commission of a willful or intentional act which could
reasonably be expected to materially injure the reputation, business or business
relationships of the Employer including acts of moral turpitude such as
continuing alcohol or substance abuse or the violation of the terms of Sections
10 and 11 hereof which is not cured within thirty (30) days after Executive has
received a written notice from Employer stating in reasonable detail the willful
or intentional acts at issue and the nature of the injury or damage.

            (b) Termination Without Cause. In the event the Executive's
employment hereunder is terminated by Employer other than pursuant to Section
7(a) or Section 8, or if the Executive's employment is terminated by the
Executive for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the following:

                  (i) The Annual Salary that the Executive would have received
for the remaining balance of the Term, payable in accordance with Employer's
normal payroll practices.

                  (ii) Employer shall pay for the cost of 18 months of COBRA
continuation coverage for the Executive.

                  (iii) Full vesting of all stock options issued to the
Executive and not yet vested at the time of such termination. The Executive
shall have the right to exercise such options during the remainder of the
exercise term.

                  (iv) All other reimbursements, unpaid bonuses and other
payments then due to the Executive shall be paid in full within ten (10)
business days following the effective date of such termination.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean, without the express
written consent of the Executive, the occurrence of a material breach by
Employer of any provision of this Agreement unless such breach is fully
corrected within 30 days following written notification by the Executive to
Employer that he intends to terminate his employment hereunder, which notice
shall specify the nature of such breach or event in reasonable detail.

Executive shall have no duty to mitigate damages in the event that termination
occurs under Section 7(b) hereof except that if the termination is based upon a
breach of Section 3(c) the duty to mitigate damages shall not be waived. In
instances where Executive has no duty to mitigate damages Employer shall have no
right to offset or reduce amounts payable to Executive based upon any other
income that Executive may earn following such termination.


                                        5
<PAGE>

      8. Disability, Death.

            (a) If the Executive shall be unable to perform his duties hereunder
by virtue of illness or physical or mental incapacity or disability (from any
cause or causes whatsoever) in substantially the manner and to the extent
required hereunder prior to the commencement of such disability as determined by
a competent medical doctor (all such causes being herein referred to as
"Disability") and the Executive shall fail to have performed substantially such
duties for 90 consecutive days or for periods aggregating 180 days, whether or
not continuous, in any continuous period of one year (such 90th or 180th day to
be known as the "Disability Date"), Paradise shall have the right to terminate
the Executive's employment hereunder as at the end of any calendar month
thereafter upon written notice to him. The Executive shall be entitled to his
Annual Salary for the remainder of the fiscal year in which the Disability Date
occurred plus all bonuses earned through the Disability Date for such fiscal
year.

            (b) In case of the death of the Executive, this Agreement shall
terminate and Paradise shall be obligated to pay to the Executive's estate or as
otherwise directed by the Executive's duly appointed and authorized legal
representative, the Annual Salary for the remainder of the fiscal year in which
death occurs and all bonuses earned through the date of death for such fiscal
year.

      9. Voluntary Termination and Termination for Cause. If the Executive
voluntarily terminates his employment prior to the end of the Term or if the
Executive is terminated for cause, he shall only be entitled to receive
compensation accrued through the date of termination; provided, however, that if
Executive voluntarily terminates his employment in accordance with Section 3(c)
or because Paradise has breached this Agreement, then the Executive shall, in
either case, be entitled to receive the compensation payable to him under
Section 3(c) hereof and he shall be released from the restrictions set forth in
Section 11 hereof. For the two year period following voluntary termination not
caused by Paradise or termination for cause, the Company shall be entitled to
receive 25% of the gross revenues generated by the Executive, less direct
expenses, from ongoing business with customers of the Company which began doing
business with the Company after October 1, 1996. The Company shall be provided
with full information by the Executive with respect to such business and the
Company shall have the right to audit such information annually, upon prior
written notice. In the event of an understatement by more than 10% the Company's
audit fees shall be paid by the Executive. Payments with respect to this Section
9 thereto shall be made quarterly by the Executive to the Company.

      10. Confidential Information. The Executive recognizes that he will occupy
a position of trust with respect to business and technical information of a
secret or confidential nature which is the property of Paradise or the Company
or any of its affiliates, and which has been and will be imparted to him from
time to time in the course of his employment with Paradise. In light of this
understanding, the Executive agrees that:


                                        6
<PAGE>

            (a) the Executive shall not at any time knowingly use or disclose,
directly or indirectly, any of the confidential information or trade secrets
which is the property of Paradise, or any of its affiliates, to any person,
except that he may use and disclose to authorized Employer personnel, licensees
or franchisees in the course of his employment; and

            (b) within five (5) days from the date upon which his employment
with Paradise is terminated, for any reason or for no reason, or otherwise upon
the request of Paradise, he shall return to Paradise any and all documents and
materials which constitute or contain the confidential information or trade
secrets of Paradise, or any of its affiliates.

For purposes of this Agreement, the terms "confidential information" or "trade
secrets" shall include all information of any nature and in any form which is
owned by Paradise, or any of its affiliates, and which is not publicly available
or generally known to persons engaged in businesses similar to that of Paradise,
or any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Executive's
employment with Paradise is terminated, for whatever reason, the limitations
provided in this Section 10 shall not prevent the Executive from using for his
own benefit any information which he acquired prior to the Effective Date.

      11. Non-Competition.

            (a) The Executive agrees that his services hereunder are of a
special character, and his position with Paradise places him in a position of
confidence and trust with Paradise's artists, clients, customers and employees.
The Executive and Paradise agree that in the course of employment hereunder, the
Executive has and will continue to develop a personal acquaintanceship and
relationship with Paradise's artists, clients and customers, and a knowledge of
those artists', clients' and customers' affairs and requirements which may
constitute Paradise's primary or only contact with such artists, clients and
customers. The Executive consequently agrees that it is reasonable and necessary
for the protection of the goodwill and business of Paradise that the Executive
make the covenants contained herein. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that
while he is in Paradise's employ the Executive will not, without the prior
written consent of Paradise, either directly or indirectly, or in any capacity
whether as a promoter, proprietor, partner, joint venturer, employee, agent,
consultant, director, officer, manager, equity holder (except as an equity
holder holding less than five percent (5%) of a publicly traded company's issued
and outstanding equity securities, or otherwise) work for, act as a consultant
to or own any interest in any direct competitor of Paradise which operates in or
provides services essentially the same as Paradise in any portion of the
geographic territory where Paradise operates or sells its products or services,
except as allowed pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Agreement. The Executive
further agrees that during the Term, and for the one year period following the
Executive's termination of employment with Paradise, the Executive will not
solicit, entice, induce or persuade: (i) any employee, artist, client or
customer of Paradise; or (ii) any person or entity which had been engaged in
negotiations with Paradise to become, an employee, artist, client or customer of
Paradise during the six month period prior to the Executive's termination of
employment with Paradise, to alter, terminate or refrain from extending or


                                        7
<PAGE>

renewing any contractual or other relationship with Paradise, or commence a
similar or substantially similar relationship with the Executive, any entity
with whom the Executive is affiliated or employed by or any direct competitor of
Paradise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Executive's employment with
Paradise is terminated, for whatever reason, the Executive may continue to do
business, without violating the terms hereof, with, any customer, client or
artist of Paradise which was a customer, client or artist of the Executive, or
any company controlled by the Executive, prior to the Effective Date.

            (b) As used in this Section 11, the term "Paradise" shall include
subsidiaries of Paradise, the term "customer" shall mean any person or entity
who is then, or who had been at any time during the one year period immediately
preceding the date of termination of the Executive's employment, a customer of
Paradise, and the term "artist or client" shall mean any person or entity who is
then, or who had been at any time during the one year period immediately
preceding the date of termination of the Executive's employment, an artist or
client represented by, signed by, working for or collaborating with Paradise.

            (c) The parties hereto agree that the duration and area for which
the covenant not to compete set forth herein is to be effective are reasonable.
In the event that any court determines that the time period or the area, or both
of them, are unreasonable and that such covenant is to that extent
unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the covenant shall remain in full
force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest area that
would not render it unenforceable.

            (d) If the Executive commits a material breach or is about to commit
a material breach, of any of the above provisions, Paradise shall have the right
to seek temporary and preliminary injunctive relief to prevent the continuance
or commission of such breach prior to any hearing on the merits and to have the
provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equal
Jurisdiction it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened
breach will cause irreparable injury to Paradise. In addition, Paradise may take
all such other actions and remedies available to it under law or in equity and
shall be entitled to such damages as it can show it has sustained by reason of
such breach.

            (e) The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Executive
against Paradise, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise shall not
constitute a defense to the enforcement by Paradise of those covenants and
agreements.

            (f) In the event of a breach of this Agreement by Paradise, the
restrictions on the Executive set forth in this Section 11 shall not apply.

      12. Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute by and among the parties hereto
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the terms, conditions or a breach
thereof, or the rights or obligations of the parties with respect thereto, shall
be arbitrated in the City of New York, New York before and pursuant to then
applicable commercial rules and regulations of the


                                        8
<PAGE>

American Arbitration Association, or any successor organization. The arbitration
proceedings shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators, one of whom
shall be selected by Paradise, one by the Executive (or his legal
representative) and the third arbitrator by the first two so chosen. The parties
shall use their best efforts to assure that the selection of the arbitrators
shall be completed within 30 days and the parties shall use their best efforts
to complete the arbitration as quickly as possible. In such proceeding, the
arbitration panel shall determine who is a substantially prevailing party and
shall award to such party its reasonable attorneys', accountants' and other
professionals' fees and its costs incurred in connection with the proceeding.
The award of the arbitration panel shall be final, binding upon the parties and
nonappealable and may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent
jurisdiction. Such court may add to the award of the arbitration panel
additional reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the substantially
prevailing party in attempting to enforce such award.

      13. Enforceability. The failure of either party at any time to require
performance by the other party of any provision hereunder shall in no way affect
the right of that party thereafter to enforce the same, nor shall it affect any
other party's right to enforce the same, or to enforce any of the other
provisions of this Agreement; nor shall the waiver by either party of the breach
of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any subsequent breach
of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.

      14. Assignment. This Agreement is a personal contract and the Executive's
rights and obligations hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged
or hypothecated by the Executive. The rights and obligations of Paradise
hereunder shall be binding upon and run in favor of the successors and assigns
of Paradise. If any assignment or transfer of rights hereunder is attempted by
the Executive contrary to the provisions hereof, Paradise shall have no further
liability for payments hereunder.

      15. Modification. This Agreement may not be canceled, changed, modified or
amended orally, and no cancellation, change, modification or amendment shall be
effective or binding, unless it is in writing, signed by both parties to this
Agreement.

      16. Severability, Survival. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be void and unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement nevertheless shall be binding upon the parties with
the same effect as though the void or enforceable part has been severed and
deleted.

      17. Notice. Notices given pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, or by
telex, telecopier or telegraph, charges prepaid, to the following address:

                                   Schedule A

<PAGE>

      3. Duties and Responsibilities

            (a) During the Term, the Consultant will review (including by
preparing due diligence investigations), analyze and assist in the structuring
of proposed business ventures between the Company and third parties which
ventures may originate either from the Consultant, the Company or otherwise. The
services provided hereunder are in addition to those provided by the Consultant
as a director of the Company for which the Consultant is separately compensated.

            (b) During the Term, the Consultant agrees that he will (i) devote
sufficient time as shall be necessary to properly carry out his obligations
under is agreement; (ii) carry out his duties in a competent and professional
manner, and (iii) work with the employees of the Company in a competent and
professional manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consultant shall be
permitted to engage in other business activities (as an active participant or a
passive investor), provided that such activities are not rendered for a company
whose business is in competition with the Company and provided that such
activities (individually or collectively) do not violate the provisions of
paragraph 6 below or materially interfere with the performance of his duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement.

      4. Compensation

            For all services during the Term, the Consultant will receive 25,000
warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock at $5.00 per share.
The warrants will be for a two year period, will be issued on the date hereof,
and will vest immediately on the date hereof. The warrants will be exercisable
commencing immediately from the date hereof and will have piggyback registration
rights for one piggyback registration at any time after the first anniversary of
the date of the warrant subject to underwriters holdback or limitation on the
number of shares to be included. No other compensation is being paid to

the stockholders of the Company before they can


                                        2
<PAGE>

be issued. In the event that the issuance of the warrants is not approved by the
stockholders other mutually agreed upon compensation shall be paid to the
consultant in lieu of such warrants.

      5. Expenses

            Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and the
Consultant, the Company shall be under no obligation to pay or to reimburse the
Consultant during the Term for his expenses incurred in the performance of his
services hereunder.

      6. Non-Competition and Protection of Confidential Information

            (a) The Consultant acknowledges that his rendering of services
hereunder may require the disclosure to the Consultant of confidential
information and trade secrets of the Company and consequently he agrees that it
is reasonable and necessary for the protection of the goodwill and business of
the Company that he makes the covenants contained herein. Accordingly, the
Consultant agrees that during the Term he shall not, except on behalf of the
Company, directly or indirectly:

                  (i) attempt in any manner to persuade any customer, supplier
            or client of the Company to cease to do business or to reduce the
            amount of business which any such customer, supplier or client has
            customarily done or contemplates doing with the Company, unless the
            Consultant has a previous client relationship with such customer,
            supplier or client;

                  (ii) solicit to employ as an employee anyone who is then or at
            any time during the preceding twelve months was an employee of the
            Company; provided, however, if such employee was involuntarily
            terminated by the Company, the Consultant may employ such person
            after obtaining the prior written consent of the Company, which
            consent will not be unreasonably withheld; or


                                        3
<PAGE>

            (b) The Consultant agrees that he will not, except as required by
law or court order, at any time during the Term and for a two year period after
termination of this Agreement, disclose to anyone any confidential information
or trade secret of the Company, or utilize such confidential information or
trade secret for his own benefit, or for the benefit of third parties. The term
"confidential information or trade secret" does not include information which
(i) becomes generally available to the public other than by breach of this
provision; (ii) the Consultant learns from a third party who is not under an
obligation of confidence to the Company; (iii) is independently developed by the
Consultant; or (iv) is known by the Consultant prior to disclosure to the
Consultant by the Company.

            (c) If the Consultant commits a breach or is about to commit a
breach, of any of the provisions of paragraphs 6(a) or (b) above, the Company
shall have the right to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically
enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction without being required to post
bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the
available remedies at law, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach
or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money
damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. In addition, the
Company may take all such other actions and remedies available to it under law
or in equity and shall be entitled to such damages as it can show it has
sustained by reason of such breach. The parties acknowledge that the type and
periods of restriction imposed in the provisions of paragraphs 6(a) and (b)
above are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of
the Company, and that the time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of
this paragraph 6 have been specifically negotiated by both parties with advice
of counsel. If any of the covenants in paragraphs 6(a) or (b) above, or any part
thereof, is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall
not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full
effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the covenants
contained in paragraphs 6(a) or (b), or any part thereof, is held to be
unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered
thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have
the


                                        4
<PAGE>

power to reduce the duration and/or areas of such provision and, in its reduced
form, such provision shall then be enforceable.

      7. Enforceability

            The failure of any party at any time to require performance by
another party of any provision hereunder shall in no way affect the right of
that party thereafter to enforce the same, nor shall it affect any other party's
right to enforce the same, or to enforce any of the other provisions in this
Agreement; nor shall the waiver by any party of the breach of any provision
hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of such
provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.

      8. Assignment

            This Agreement is a personal contract and the Consultant's rights
and obligations hereunder may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or
hypothecated by the Consultant. The rights and obligations of the Company
hereunder shall be binding upon and run in favor of the successors and permitted
assigns of the Company. If the Company shall be merged into or consolidated with
another entity, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the entity surviving such merger or resulting from such
consolidation. If all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are
transferred to another entity, the Company shall cause the entity acquiring such
assets to assume and be responsible for the Company's obligations hereunder.

      9. Modification; Renewal

            This Agreement may not be orally canceled, changed, modified or
amended, and no cancellation, change, modification or amendment shall be
effective or binding, unless in writing and signed by the parties to this
Agreement. Any renewal of this Agreement beyond the period specified in
paragraph 2 above shall be set forth in a writing executed by both parties
hereto.

      10. Severability; Survival

            In the event any provision or portion of this Agreement is
determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part,
the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding upon
the parties with the same effect as though the invalid or unenforceable part had
been severed and deleted. The respective rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall survive the termination of the Consultant's employment to the
extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

written instructions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day

      1. The Warrant. The Company has duly authorized the issuance of this

together with payment by certified or official bank check or in immediately
available funds of the sum obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of
Common Stock as to which this Warrant is being exercised by (ii) the Purchase
Price.

            2.2 This Warrant shall vest and become exercisable on the date
hereof.

            2.3 Upon any exercise of this Warrant as provided in Section 2.1 for
less than all of the shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this
Warrant Certificate, this Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered, and (unless

Warrant Certificate of the same tenor, with the same Expiration Date and for the
purchase of the number of such shares of Common Stock not purchased upon such
exercise or any prior exercise shall be issued by the Company to the Warrant
Holder.

            The term "Warrant" as used herein means the Warrant represented by
this Warrant Certificate and any Warrants delivered in substitution or exchange
therefor as provided herein. The term "Warrant Shares" as used herein means as
of any date all shares of Common Stock of the Company or other securities,
properties or rights theretofore issued or at the time issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant.

            2.4 This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately
prior to the close of business on the date of surrender for exercise of this
Warrant Certificate (or, in the event this Warrant Certificate is not available,
on the date of surrender of the documents described in Section 6 hereof,
together with a letter containing substantially the information included on the
subscription form attached hereto) as provided above, and the person entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights
issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of
such shares, securities, properties or rights of record as of the close of
business on such date. Promptly following such date, the Company shall issue and
deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a stock
certificate or certificates for the full number of shares of Common Stock,
properties or rights issuable upon such exercise.

            2.5 Unless the Warrant Shares are registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), the certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form:

            The securities represented by this certificate may only be sold,
      exchanged or transferred in compliance with the registration requirements
      of


                                        2
<PAGE>

      the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or an exemption
      therefrom. The Company may require an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to
      it, in connection with any transfer proposed to be made without
      registration under the Act.

            2.6 The Warrant Holder shall have the right at any time after one
year from the date hereof to request that the Warrant Shares be included in one
registration statement filed by the Company other than a registration statement
covering an employee benefit plan and subject to the right on the underwriter of
any offering to request a holdback or limitation on the number of Warrant shares
to be registered. Such registration shall be without expense to the Warrant
Holder.

      3. Payment of Taxes. All shares of Common Stock or other securities issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant
Certificate shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the
Company shall pay all issuance taxes and other similar governmental charges that
may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery thereof, but in no event
shall the Company pay a tax on or measured by the net income or gain attributed
to such exercise; neither shall the Company be required to pay any tax or other
charge imposed in connection with any transfer of this Warrant or any transfer
involved in the issuance of any certificate for shares of Common Stock or other
securities in any name other than that of the Warrant Holder.

      4. Transfer and Exchange.

            4.1 This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to all of which
the Warrant Holder by the taking hereof consents and agrees:

            (a) subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (d) below,
title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the registered
holder hereof executing the form of assignment at the end hereof) and delivery
in the same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument transferable by
endorsement and delivery;

            (b) subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (d) below,
any person in possession of this Warrant properly endorsed is authorized to
represent himself as absolute owner hereof and is empowered to transfer absolute
title hereto by endorsement and delivery hereof to a bona fide purchaser hereof
for value;

            (c) this Warrant and all Warrant Shares may be disposed of only in
accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In connection with any such proposed disposition, the Company may
require such holder to furnish an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the
Company, that the proposed disposition, if effected, will not violate the
registration requirements of the Act; and


                                        3
<PAGE>

            (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this
Warrant shall not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred except
with the prior written consent of the Company and any purported transfer in
violation of this clause shall be void and of no force or effect.

            4.2 Until any permitted transfer is effected on the books of the
Company, the Company may treat the prior holder hereof as the absolute owner
hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

      5. Certain Adjustments of Purchase Price and Number of Share

            5.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits, Reverse Splits, Stock Dividends,
Reclassification. Recapitalizations, etc. If at any time or from time to time
after the Original Issue Date the Company shall increase or decrease the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock, by means of any stock dividend, stock
split, reverse split, subdivision, combination or reclassification of shares,
recapitalization or other similar event, then, in each such event, the Purchase
Price shall, simultaneously, with the happening of such event, be adjusted by
multiplying the then Purchase Price, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall
thereafter be the Purchase Price as then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so
adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any
successive event or events described herein in this Section 5.1. The holder of
this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive
that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 5.1) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (i) the
numerator is the Purchase Price which would otherwise (but for the provisions of
this Section 5.1) be in effect, and (ii) the denominator is the Purchase Price
in effect on the date of such exercise.

            5.2 Adjustment for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Original
Issue Date the Company shall reorganize its capital (other than in a
recapitalization as to which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 5.1
above), consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into another corporation (as a
result of which the Company is not the surviving corporation), or sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property, assets or
business to another entity and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization,
merger, amalgamation or consolidation, shares of common stock of the successor
or acquiring entity, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or
property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or
acquiring entity ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the
holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Warrant Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon any present or future exercise of this Warrant
and payment of the Purchase Price as provided for herein, the number of shares
of common stock of the successor or acquiring entity or of the Company, if it is
the surviving corporation, and Other Property received upon


                                        4
<PAGE>

or as a result of such reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring
entity (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual
observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this
Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all of the obligations
and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed
appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 5.2 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, amalgamations, mergers, or consolidations.

      6. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and (in the case of loss, theft or
destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation)
upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in
lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor.

      7. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and
keep available for issue upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit
the exercise in full of this Warrant.

      8. Notice. All notices and other communications shall be deemed validly
given, made or served if in writing and delivered (as of such delivery) or sent
by certified mail (as of three days after deposit in a United States post
office), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by facsimile or overnight
courier service, charges prepaid (as of the date of confirmation of receipt):
(i) if to the Warrant Holder, to the address or telecopy number furnished to the
Company in writing by the last holder of this Warrant who shall have furnished
an address or telecopy number to the Company in writing; or (ii) if to the
Company, to the address set forth in Section 2.1 hereof or to such other address
or telecopy number furnished in writing by the Company to the Warrant Holder.

      9. Change: Waiver. Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought.

      10. No Rights or Liability as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote
or receive dividends or be deemed a stockholder of the Company for any purpose,
nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the
holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any
right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any
