                          (PAR VALUE $.01 PER SHARE) 

   All of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby are being sold by 
the Company. See "Underwriting." 

   
   The Company has two classes of authorized common stock, the Class A Common 
Stock and the Class B Common Stock. The economic rights of each class of 
Common Stock are identical, but the voting rights differ in that the holders 
of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share while the holders 
of Class B Common Stock are generally entitled to ten votes per share on most 
matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. In addition, the holders of 
shares of Class A Common Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to 
elect two-sevenths of the Company's directors. The holders of Class A Common 
Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class, with each share of 
Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common 
Stock entitled to ten votes, are entitled to elect the remaining directors. 
As a result, holders of Class B Common Stock will have substantial control 
over most matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the 
election of directors. After the consummation of the Offering and the Pending 
Acquisitions, Robert F.X. Sillerman, the Executive Chairman of the Company, 
will beneficially own approximately 38.1%, and all directors and executive 
officers together will beneficially own approximately 44.9%, of the combined 
voting power of the Common Stock. See "Risk Factors--Control by Management," 
"Management," "Principal Stockholders" and "Description of Capital Stock." 

   SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 16 FOR CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS 
RELEVANT TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK. 

   The Class A Common Stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National 
Market under the symbol "SFXE." On May 4, 1998, the last reported sales price 
of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $40.00 per share.

of any of the Pending Acquisitions or the SFX Merger. See "Risk 
Factors--Risks Related to the Pending Acquisitions," "Description of Capital 
Stock" and "Underwriting." Industry data used throughout this Prospectus was 
obtained from industry publications and has not been independently verified 
by the Company. 
    

                                 THE COMPANY 

   
   SFX Entertainment is a leading integrated promoter, producer and venue 
operator in the live entertainment industry. In addition, upon consummation 
of the acquisition of FAME (as defined herein), the Company will be a leading 
full-service marketing and management company specializing in the 
representation of team sports athletes, primarily in professional basketball. 
The Company believes that it currently controls the largest network of venues 
used principally for music concerts and other live entertainment events in 
the United States, with 45 venues either directly owned or operated under 
lease or exclusive booking arrangements in 22 of the top 50 markets, 
including 11 amphitheaters in 7 of the top 10 markets. Through its large 
number of venues, its strong, branded presence in each market served and its 
long operating history, the Company is able to provide an integrated offering 
of promotion and production services across a broad variety of live 
entertainment events locally, regionally and nationally. During 1997, 
approximately 27 million people attended 9,600 events promoted and/or 
produced by the Company and the businesses to be acquired in the Pending 
Acquisitions, including approximately 4,200 music concerts, 4,900 
theatrical shows and over 200 specialized motor sports events. These events 
included: (a) music concerts featuring artists such as The Rolling Stones, 
Phish, Fleetwood Mac, Ozzy Osbourne and Alanis Morissette, (b) music 
festivals such as the George Strait Country Music Festival, (c) touring 
theatrical productions such as The Phantom of the Opera, Jekyll & Hyde, Rent 
and The Magic of David Copperfield and (d) specialized motor sports events, 
such as Truck Fest and American Motorcycle Association Supercross racing 
events. In addition, the Company's event marketing programs interfaced with 
over 15 million people in 1997. The Company believes that its ability to 
provide integrated live entertainment services will, among other things, 
encourage wider use of its venues by performers and allow the Company to 
capture a greater percentage of revenues from national tours and ancillary 
revenue sources. On a pro forma basis, the Company would have had revenues 
and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined herein) of $827.9 million and $104.9 million, 
respectively, for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998. For a description 
of Adjusted EBITDA, see footnote 5 to "Summary Consolidated Financial 
Statements." 

   The Company's core business is the promotion and production of live 
entertainment events, most significantly for concert and other music 
performances in venues owned and/or operated by the Company and in 
third-party venues. As promoter, the Company typically markets events and 
tours, sells tickets, rents or otherwise provides event venues and arranges 
for local production services (such as stage, set, sound and lighting). As 
producer, the Company (a) creates tours for music concert, theatrical, 
specialized motor sports and other events, (b) develops and manages 
Broadway-style touring theatrical shows ("Touring Broadway Shows") and (c) 
develops specialized motor sports and other live entertainment events. As 
venue owner/operator, the Company books and promotes events in the venues 
which 

                                2           
    
<PAGE>
   
it controls. The Company also derives ancillary revenues from operations 
related to its live entertainment events, including the sale of corporate 
sponsorships and advertising, the sale of concessions and the merchandising 
of a broad range of products. In addition, upon consummation of the 
acquisition of FAME, the Company will represent, approximately 75 
professional athletes, primarily in basketball. On a pro forma basis, the 
Company's music businesses, theatrical operations, specialized motor sports 
operations and other operations would have comprised approximately 67%, 13%, 
6% and 14%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues for the twelve 
months ended March 31, 1998. 

   The Company has benefited from significant growth in the live 
entertainment industry over the last several years. According to Amusement 
Business, an entertainment industry journal, ticket sales for North American 
music concert tours have grown at a 10.9% compound annual growth rate 
("CAGR") since 1985, from approximately $321.7 million in 1985 to 
approximately $1.1 billion in 1997. Box office receipts from Touring Broadway 
Shows and Broadway shows in the United States have grown at a 11.7% CAGR 
since the 1986-1987 season, from $431.5 million to $1.3 billion in the 
1996-1997 season, according to Variety Magazine. The increasing popularity of 
specialized motor sports over the last several years has coincided with and, 
in part, been due to the increased popularity of other professional motor 
sports events such as professional auto racing, including NASCAR, CART and 
Indy Car Racing. 

VENUES 

   The Company believes that it owns and/or operates the largest number of 
venues in the United States used principally for music concerts and other 
live entertainment events. The following table summarizes the 45 
amphitheaters, theaters and other venues owned and/or operated under lease or 
exclusive booking arrangements by the Company on a pro forma basis. There can 
be no assurance that any of the Pending Acquisitions will be completed on the

Pending Acquisitions."

OPERATING STRATEGY 

   
   The Company's principal objectives are to maximize revenue and cash flow 
growth opportunities by (a) being a leading promoter and producer of live 
entertainment events and a leading provider of talent representation services 
and (b) owning and/or operating leading live entertainment venues in the 
United States. The Company's specific strategies include the following: 
    

OWN AND/OR OPERATE LEADING LIVE ENTERTAINMENT VENUES IN NATION'S TOP 50 
MARKETS 

   
   A key component of the Company's strategy is to own and/or operate a 
network of leading live entertainment venues in the nation's top 50 markets. 
The Company believes that this strategy will enable it to (a) utilize its 
nationwide venue footprint, significant industry expertise and access to a 
large aggregate audience to secure more events and distribute content on a 
national scale, (b) sell additional products and maximize numerous other 
related revenue sources, (c) position itself to produce national tours by 
leading music performers in order to capture a greater percentage of revenues 
from those tours and (d) encourage wider use by performers of the Company's 
venues by providing centralized access to a nationwide network of venues. The 
Company believes that it controls the largest network of venues used 
principally for music concerts and other live entertainment events in the 
United States. Upon consummation of the Pending Acquisitions, the Company 
will own and/or operate under exclusive booking arrangements 45 venues in 22 
of the top 50 markets, including 11 amphitheaters in 7 of the top 10 markets. 

MAXIMIZE ANCILLARY REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES 

   The Company intends to enhance revenues and cash flows by maximizing 
revenue sources arising from and related to its leadership position in the 
live entertainment business. On a pro forma basis for the 1997 and Recent 
Acquisitions, these ancillary revenues comprised approximately 19% of the 
Company's music businesses' total revenues for the year ended December 31, 
1997. Management believes that these related revenue sources generally have 
higher margins than promotion and production revenues and include, among 
others, (a) the sale of corporate sponsorship, naming and other rights, 
concessions, merchandise, parking and other products and services and (b) the 
sale of rights to advertise to the Company's large aggregate national 
audience. Categories available for sponsorship arrangements include the 
naming of the venue itself (e.g., the PNC Bank Arts Center) and the 
designation of "official" event or tour sponsors, concessions providers 
(e.g., beer and soda), credit card companies, phone companies, film 
manufacturers and radio stations, among others. Sponsorship arrangements can 
provide significant additional revenues at negligible incremental cost, and 
many of the Company's venues currently have no sponsorship arrangements in 
many of the available categories (including naming rights). The Company also 
intends to maximize related revenues by developing and exploiting 
intellectual property rights associated with (a) its production of musical 
concert tours and themed events (such as regional music festivals) and (b) 
branded characters created as an integral part of the content, marketing and 
merchandising of certain motor sports events.

<PAGE>
EXPLOIT SYNERGIES OF THE ACQUIRED BUSINESSES 

   
   The Company plans to maximize revenues by exploiting synergies among its 
various existing businesses and the businesses to be acquired in the Pending 
Acquisitions. The Company believes that it can utilize the best business 
practices of the businesses acquired in the Recent Acquisitions (the 
"Acquired Businesses"), the 1997 Acquisitions and the Pending Acquisitions on 
a national scale. For example, the Atlanta-based regional Music Midtown 
Festival, created and promoted by Concert/Southern Promotions (one of the 
Acquired Businesses), is a highly successful music festival concept that drew 
approximately 200,000 attendees in 1997; the Company believes that it can use 
the event as a model for other markets. In addition, the Company believes that 
the radio industry trade publications of Network (as defined herein, another of
the Acquired Businesses) will enable the Company to introduce new acts and new 
musical releases to radio programming directors nationwide. This exposure can 
enhance recorded music sales and, in turn, music concert attendance, 
particularly for artists having relationships with the Company. In addition, 
upon the consummation of the FAME acquisition, the Company believes that it 
will be able to capitalize on the cross-marketing opportunities that may arise 
by virtue of representing prominent team athletes while selling corporate 
sponsorships and other marketing rights at its existing venues. 
    

INCREASE USE OF VENUES; DIVERSIFICATION OF ACTS AND VENUES 

   Typically, a venue is not utilized for many of the dates available for 
live entertainment events in any given season. The Company believes that it 
will be able to increase the utilization of its venues through its ability to 
affect scheduling on a nationwide basis, its local knowledge, relationships 
and expertise and its presentation of a variety of additional events, 
including comedy acts, magic acts, motivational speeches, national figure 
skating and gymnastics competitions and exhibitions and bull riding 
competitions, among others. The Company believes that a diversified portfolio 
of performers, events and venues reduces reliance on the commercial success 
of any one performer, event or venue. 

INNOVATIVE EVENT MARKETING 

   
   The Company plans to use innovative event marketing to increase 
admissions, sponsorship and advertising revenues and, to a limited extent, 
average ticket prices at its venues. In particular, the Company believes that 
it can increase the profitability of its venues by offering premium ticket 
packages, including (a) season ticket packages that include amenities such as 
preferred seating, VIP parking, waiter service, private club and/or "upscale" 
concession menus, (b) subscription series packages allowing customers to 
purchase tickets for a set of performances and (c) preferred seating, such as 
box seating and VIP seating areas, which typically generate higher revenues 
per seat. Moreover, the market research and audience demographics databases 
that the Company acquired through certain of the Recent Acquisitions, when 
combined with the Company's existing audience data collection efforts, will 
permit highly-effective targeted marketing, such as direct-mail and 
subscription series campaigns, which the Company believes will increase 
ticket pre-sales and overall sales in a cost-efficient manner. 
    

STRICT COST CONTROLS; NATIONALLY COORDINATED BOOKING, MARKETING & ACCOUNTING 

   
   The Company's senior management imposes strict financial reporting 
requirements and expense budget limitations on all of its businesses, 
enabling senior management to monitor the performance and operations of all 
of its businesses, to eliminate duplicative administrative costs and to 
realize expense savings. Moreover, the Company believes that its size will 
enable it to achieve substantial economies of scale by (a) implementing a 
nationally coordinated booking system (for contracting for and scheduling 
acts), while continuing to utilize the substantial local expertise of the 
Company, (b) establishing a centralized marketing team to exploit ancillary 
revenue streams on local, regional and national levels, including from 
sponsorship, advertising and merchandising opportunities, and (c) 
implementing a centralized accounting system. 
    

PURSUE COMPLEMENTARY ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES 

   The live entertainment business is characterized by numerous participants, 
including booking agents, promoters, producers, venue owners and venue 
operators, many of which are entrepreneurial, 

                                5           
<PAGE>
   
capital-constrained local or regional businesses that do not achieve 
significant economies of scale from their operations. The Company believes 
that the fragmented nature of the industry presents attractive acquisition 
opportunities, and that its larger size will provide it with improved access 
to the capital markets that will give it a competitive advantage in 
implementing its acquisition strategy. Through consolidation, the Company 
believes that it will be better able to coordinate negotiations with 
performers and talent agents, addressing what the Company believes is a 
growing desire among performers and talent agents to deal with fewer, more 
sophisticated promoters. The Company intends to pursue additional strategic 
acquisitions of (a) amphitheaters and other live entertainment venues, (b) 
local and regional promoters and producers of music concert, theatrical, 
specialized motor sports and other live entertainment events and (c) 
companies in the talent representation industry. The Company is currently in 
the process of negotiating certain additional acquisitions of live 
entertainment and related businesses; however, it has not entered into 
definitive agreements with respect to any of such acquisitions and there can 
be no assurance that it will do so. See "--Recent Developments" and "Risk 
Factors--Expansion Strategy; Need for Additional Funds." 
    

MANAGEMENT 

   
   Most of the Company's senior management team has worked together for a 
number of years at SFX Broadcasting and have managed the concert promotion 
operations of Delsener/Slater Enterprises, Ltd. ("Delsener/Slater"), the 
predecessor of the Company, since its acquisition by SFX Broadcasting in 
January 1997. Senior management plans to continue to apply to its live 
entertainment businesses many of the same operating strategies that it has 
successfully utilized in the radio business, including a focus on revenue 
maximization through the cultivation of sponsorship and advertising 
relationships, cost containment and other strategies in order to maximize 
revenue and cash flow growth. Moreover, senior management believes that the 
Company will benefit from the consolidation of the live entertainment 
industry, much as SFX Broadcasting benefited from the consolidation of the 
radio broadcasting industry. The Company's senior management team, most of 
whom will continue to act as senior management of SFX Broadcasting until 
consummation of the SFX Merger, is comprised of Robert F.X. Sillerman, 
Executive Chairman, Michael G. Ferrel, Chief Executive Officer, Brian Becker, 
Executive Vice President, Howard J. Tytel, Executive Vice President and 
Thomas P. Benson, Chief Financial Officer. The Company has entered into an 
employment agreement with Mr. Becker and has reached agreements in principle 
with Messrs. Sillerman, Ferrel, Tytel and Benson to enter into employment 
agreements with such officers, which agreements will be effective upon the 
consummation of the SFX Merger. In addition, upon consummation of the 
acquisition of FAME, David Falk the co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer of FAME will join senior management of the Company as a Member of the 
Office of the Chairman and as a Director. See "Risk Factors--Control by 
Management," "--Dependence on Key Personnel" and "Management." The Company has
also entered into long-term employment agreements with substantially all of the
senior executives at each of the Recent and Pending Acquisitions.
    

FORMATION OF THE COMPANY 

   
   The Company was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX Broadcasting in 
December 1997 as the parent company of SFX Concerts, Inc. ("Concerts"). 
Concerts was formed by SFX Broadcasting to acquire and hold SFX 
Broadcasting's live entertainment operations. In January 1997, Concerts 
entered the live entertainment business with the acquisition of 
Delsener/Slater. In March 1997, Concerts acquired certain entities which hold 
a 37-year lease to operate the Meadows Theater ("Meadows"), a 25,000-seat 
indoor/outdoor complex located in Hartford, Connecticut. In June 1997, 
Concerts acquired Sunshine Promotions, Inc., a concert promoter in the 
Midwest, and certain other related companies ("Sunshine Promotions" and, 
together with the acquisitions of Delsener/Slater and the Meadows lease, the 
"1997 Acquisitions"). 

   In January 1998, the Company acquired Westbury Music Fair ("Westbury") for 
an aggregate consideration consisting of $3.0 million in cash and an agreement
to issue 75,019 in shares of Class A Common Stock. In February and March of 
1998, the Company completed its acquisitions of PACE Entertainment 
    

                                6           
<PAGE>
   
Corporation ("PACE"); Contemporary Group ("Contemporary"); BG Presents, Inc. 
("BGP"); Album Network, Inc., SJS Entertainment Corporation and The Network 
40 (collectively, "Network"); Concert/ Southern Promotions 
("Concert/Southern") and certain related entities for an aggregate 
consideration consisting of approximately $442.1 million in cash and 4.2 
million shares of Class A Common Stock. In March, the Company acquired United 
Sports of America Motor Sports ("USA Motor Sports") for a purchase price of 
approximately $4.0 million. The acquisitions of Westbury, PACE, Contemporary, 
BGP, Network, Concert/Southern and USA Motor Sports are collectively referred 
to herein as the "Recent Acquisitions." See "Business--Recent Acquisitions." 

   In February 1998, the Company completed the private placement of $350.0 
million of 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Notes") and 
borrowed $150.0 million under the Company's $300.0 million senior credit 
facility (the "Credit Facility"). The proceeds from the offering of the Notes 
(the "Note Offering") and the initial borrowings under the Credit Facility 
were used to consummate the Recent Acquisitions. 

PENDING ACQUISITIONS 

   In April and May of 1998, the Company entered into agreements and/or 
letters of intent to acquire the following live entertainment and talent 
representation businesses: 

 FAME 

   The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire Falk Associates 
Management Enterprises, Inc. and Financial Advisory Management Enterprises, 
Inc. (collectively, "FAME"), a leading full-service marketing and management 
company which specializes in the representation of team sports athletes, 
primarily in professional basketball. The aggregate purchase price for FAME 
will be approximately $82.9 million in cash (including approximately $7.9 
million which the Company anticipates paying in connection with certain taxes 
which FAME and the FAME sellers will be subject to) and 1.0 million shares of 
Class A Common Stock. The agreement provides for payments by the Company to 
the FAME sellers of additional amounts up to $15.0 million in equal annual 
installments over five years contingent on the achievement of certain EBITDA 
targets. The agreement also provides for additional payments by the Company 
if FAME's EBITDA performance exceeds the targets by certain amounts. FAME was 
founded in 1992 by David Falk and Curtis Polk and currently represents some 
of the premier athletes in professional team sports, including, among others, 
Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Juwan Howard and Allen 
Iverson. In addition, FAME provides specialized financial advisory services 
to professional athletes and entertainers. Upon the consummation of the FAME 
acquisition, Mr. Falk will continue to serve as the Chairman of FAME and will 
be appointed as a Member of the Office of the Chairman and a Director of the 
Company. The Company believes that, through its acquisition of FAME, it will 
be able to capitalize on the cross-marketing opportunities that may arise by 
virtue of representing prominent team athletes while selling corporate 
sponsorships and other marketing rights at its existing venues. 

 DON LAW 

   The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of 
Blackstone Entertainment, LLC ("Don Law"), a leading concert and theater 
promoter in New England, for an aggregate consideration of approximately 
$90.0 million (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances), including 
the repayment of approximately $10.0 million in debt. The Company may, at its 
option, pay up to $16.0 million of the purchase price in shares of Class A 
Common Stock. Don Law currently owns and/or operates three venues in New 
England with an aggregate seating capacity of 27,400. Don Law also acts as 
the sole ticket operator for all of its own venues as well as several third 
party venues. The Don Law acquisition will expand the Company's geographic 
presence into the significant Boston market. The assets to be acquired from 
Don Law will be subject, for two years following their acquisition, to a 
right of first offer and refusal in favor of the Don Law seller.

<PAGE>
 AVALON 

   
   On March 6 and 9, 1998, the Company entered into two binding letters of 
intent to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Irvine Meadows 
Amphitheater, New Avalon, Inc., TBA Media, Inc. and West Coast Amphitheater 
(collectively, "Avalon") for a cash purchase price of approximately $27.4 
million, including approximately $400,000 which the Company expects to pay to 
the Avalon sellers to reimburse them for their third party out of pocket 
costs and expenses incurred in the development of the Camarillo Creek 
Amphitheater. Avalon is a leading concert promoter and producer that operates 
predominantly in the Los Angeles area. The Company may also be obligated to 
pay an additional $1.0 million to the Avalon sellers if the Camarillo Creek 
Amphitheater has been completed pursuant to certain budget projections and 
the production of entertainment events at the site has commenced. 

 OAKDALE 

   The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of
Oakdale Concerts, LLC and Oakdale Development Limited Partnership 
(collectively, "Oakdale''), a promoter and producer of concerts in 
Connecticut and the owner of the 4,800 seat Oakdale Theater, for a purchase 
price of $11.9 million in cash. At the closing, the Company will also make a 
non-recourse loan to the Oakdale sellers in the amount of $11.4 million. In 
addition, the Company may be obligated to make an additional payment based on 
the combined EBITDA (as defined in the acquisition agreement) of the Oakdale 
Theater and Meadows for 1999. The Company believes that it will be able to 
exploit significant management, booking and promotional synergies between the 
Oakdale Theater and the Company's Meadows amphitheater located in Hartford, 
Connecticut. 

 EMI 

   The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire an approximately 80% 
interest in Event Merchandising, Inc. ("EMI"), a leading event merchandising 
contractor in the United States for approximately $8.5 million. In addition, 
the Company is required to make a loan to the EMI sellers in an amount equal 
to 20% of certain taxes incurred by the EMI sellers in connection with the 
transaction. The Company expects that the amount of the loan will be 
approximately $750,000. EMI has concession contracts for the sale of 
merchandise with 26 amphitheaters, including 13 venues owned and/or operated 
by the Company. 

   The acquisitions of FAME, Don Law, Avalon, Oakdale and EMI are 
collectively referred to herein as the "Pending Acquisitions." See 
"Business--Pending Acquisitions," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Pending Acquisitions." The 
terms of the acquisition agreements related to the Pending Acquisitions are 
subject to change, both in terms of the consideration to be paid by the 
Company for each acquisition and otherwise, upon the occurrence of certain 
events. See "Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions." 

   The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds of the Offering and 
additional borrowings under the Credit Facility (collectively, the 
"Financing") to consummate the Pending Acquisitions. The Company expects to 
complete all of the Pending Acquisitions in the second quarter of 1998. 
However, the timing and completion of the Pending Acquisitions are subject to 
a number of conditions, certain of which are beyond the Company's control and 
there can be no assurance that any of the Pending Acquisitions will be 
consummated during such period, on the terms described herein, or at all. In 
addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter 
into a definitive agreement with respect to Avalon. The Company is also 
currently in the process of negotiating certain additional acquisitions of 
live entertainment and related businesses; however, it has not entered into 
any definitive agreements with respect to such acquisitions and there can be no
assurance that it will do so. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Pending 
Acquisitions" and "--Expansion Strategy; Need for Additional Funds" and 
"Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS 

   The Company has indicated to The Marquee Group, Inc. ("Marquee"), a 
publicly-traded company, its potential interest in acquiring Marquee. Marquee 
provides integrated event management, television production, marketing and 
consulting services in the sports, news and entertainment industries. In 
addition, Marquee represents various entertainers, including athletes in team 
sports, and books tours and appearances for a variety of entertainers. Mr. 
Sillerman, the Executive Chairman of the Company, has an aggregate equity 
interest of approximately 9.1% in Marquee and is the chairman of its board of 
directors, and Mr. Tytel, a Director and Executive Vice President of the 
Company, is one of its directors. The Company has been informed that Marquee 
has formed a committee of independent directors to consider the proposal, as 
well as other strategic alternatives. However, the Company has not entered 
into, and there can be no assurance that the Company will enter into, any 
agreement, arrangement or understanding with Marquee. See "Risk 
Factors--Potential Conflicts of Interest" and "--Expansion Strategy; Need for 
Additional Funds." 
    

THE SPIN-OFF AND THE SFX MERGER 

   
   SFX Broadcasting was formed in 1992 principally to acquire and operate 
radio broadcasting stations. In August 1997, SFX Broadcasting entered into a 
merger agreement (the "SFX Merger Agreement") pursuant to which it agreed to 
merge (the "SFX Merger") with an affiliate of Hicks, Muse Tate & Furst 
Incorporated ("SFX Buyer"), and to spin-off the Company to certain 
stockholders of SFX Broadcasting on a pro rata basis (the "Spin-Off"). The 
Spin-Off was consummated on April 27, 1998. The Spin-Off separated the 
entertainment business from SFX Broadcasting's radio broadcasting business 
and will enable SFX Buyer to acquire only SFX Broadcasting's radio 
broadcasting business in the SFX Merger. SFX Broadcasting has indicated that 
it expects the SFX Merger to be completed in the second quarter of 1998. 

   Prior to the Spin-Off, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement entered into 
among the Company, SFX Broadcasting and SFX Buyer (the "Distribution 
Agreement"), SFX Broadcasting contributed to the Company all of its assets 
relating to the entertainment business. In addition, the Company, SFX 
Broadcasting and SFX Buyer also entered into a tax sharing agreement (the 
"Tax Sharing Agreement") and an employee benefits agreement (the "Employee 
Benefits Agreement"). Each of these agreements provides for certain 
indemnification obligations by the Company and SFX Broadcasting. Pursuant to 
the Distribution Agreement, at the time of the SFX Merger, SFX Broadcasting 
will contribute any positive Working Capital (as defined herein) to the 
Company. If Working Capital is negative, the Company must pay the amount of 
the shortfall to SFX Broadcasting. In addition, pursuant to the Tax Sharing 
Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify SFX Broadcasting for certain 
tax obligations, including a tax obligation of approximately $120.0 million 
in connection with the Spin-Off. The tax liability relates to certain 
deferred intercompany transactions which management believes will give rise 
to significant additional tax basis which will be available to offset 
future taxable income. Management's estimates of the amount of the indemnity 
payment and the additional basis are based on certain assumptions which 
management believes are reasonable. However, the actual amount of such 
obligations could vary significantly. The Company intends to use a portion of 
the net proceeds from the Offering to make such tax indemnity payments. See 
"Risk Factors--Future Contingent Payments," "Use of Proceeds" and 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." 

   In the Spin-Off, (a) 13,579,024 shares of Class A Common Stock were 
distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting's 
Class A common stock, Series D preferred stock and interests in the director 
deferred stock ownership plan, (b) 1,047,037 shares of Class B Common Stock 
were distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting 
Class B common stock and (c) 609,856 shares were placed in escrow to be 
issued upon the exercise of certain warrants of SFX Broadcasting. See 
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Employment Agreements."
    

   The address and telephone number of the Company's principal executive 
offices are: 650 Madison Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10022; (212)

                               FINANCING PLAN 

   
   The net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering, after 
deducting the underwriting discount and estimated Offering expenses, are 
estimated to be approximately $262.1 million (approximately $301.8 million if 
the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), assuming a 
public offering price of $40 per share. The Company intends to use the net 
proceeds from the Offering, together with expected borrowings under the 
Credit Facility, to make an anticipated tax indemnity payment, to pay the 
cash portion of the purchase price of the Pending Acquisitions, to repay debt 
in connection with the Pending Acquisitions and to make certain other 
payments described below. The following table represents the Company's best 
estimate of the allocation of the net proceeds of the Offering based on the 
current status of its business. Future events, including the actual amount of

(1)    On a pro forma basis for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998, 
       amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Facility, plus the net 
       proceeds from the Offering, would be sufficient for the uses of funds 
       described herein. However, there can be no assurance that the Company 
       will have sufficient cash flows at the time of borrowing to permit such 
       borrowings under the terms of its debt agreements. See "Description of 
       Indebtedness--Credit Facility." 

(2)    Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company is required to 
       indemnify SFX Broadcasting for certain tax obligations, including a tax 
       obligation of approximately $120.0 million in connection with the 
       Spin-Off. The tax liability relates to certain deferred intercompany 
       transactions which management believes will give rise to significant 
       additional tax basis which will be available to offset future taxable 
       income. Management's estimates with respect to the amount of the 
       indemnity payment and the additional basis are based on certain 
       assumptions which management believes are reasonable. However, the 
       actual amounts of such obligations could vary materially. See 
       "Management's, Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
       Results of Operations." 

(3)    Includes approximately $7.9 million which the Company anticipates 
       paying in connection with certain taxes which FAME and the FAME sellers 
       will be subject to. See "Agreements Related to the Pending 
       Acquisitions." 

(4)    Includes the repayment of $10.0 million in debt. Assumes that the 
       Company pays $16.0 million of the purchase price for Don Law in shares 
       of Class A Common Stock. See "Agreements Related to the Pending 
       Acquisitions." 

(5)    Includes approximately $400,000 which the Company expects to pay to the 
       Avalon sellers to reimburse their third party out of pocket expenses 
       incurred in the development of the Camarillo Creek Amphitheater. See
       "Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions."

(6)    Includes a loan to the Oakdale sellers in the amount of $11.4 million, 
       a portion of which will be used to repay Oakdale's senior mortgage 
       indebtedness. See "Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions."

    
                               10

(7)    Consists of approximately $15.4 million underwriting discount and $2.5 
       million of other fees and expenses related to the Financing. The fees 
       and expenses are based on management's estimates, and may not be 
       indicative of, and are likely to vary from, the actual amount of fees 
       and expenses incurred by the Company. 

(8)    Consists of change of control payments under the employment agreements 
       of Messrs. Sillerman, Ferrel and Benson assumed by the Company pursuant 
       to the Distribution Agreement, aggregating approximately $3.3 million, 
       $1.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. See "Certain Relationships 
       and Related Transactions--Assumption of Employment Agreements; Certain 
       Change of Control Payments." 

   Certain of the Company's agreements provide for future contingent payments 
in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the Company will 
have sufficient sources of funds to make such payments should they come due. 
In addition, the Company is currently negotiating additional acquisitions 
which, if consummated, will require additional financing. See "Risk 
Factors--Future Contingent Payments,"  "--Risks Related to the Pending 
Acquisitions" and "--Expansion Strategy; Need for Additional Funds" 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--
Indemnification of Mr. Sillerman."

                                                 the "Common Stock"), are generally entitled to ten votes per share

                                                 class, are entitled to elect two-sevenths of the Company's directors. 
                                                 The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting 
                                                 as a single class, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled 
                                                 to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten 
                                                 votes, are entitled to elect the remaining directors. As a result, 
                                                 holders of Class B Common Stock will have substantial control over 
                                                 most matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the

Class B Common Stock conversion................. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time, at 
                                                 the holder's option, into one share of Class A Common Stock. Each 
                                                 share of Class B Common Stock converts automatically into one share

(1)    Corporate expenses are reduced by $1,794,000 and $1,286,000 for fees 
       earned from Triathlon Broadcasting Company ("Triathlon") for the year 
       ended December 31, 1997 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998, 
       respectively. The right to receive fees payable under this agreement 
       was assigned to the Company by SFX Broadcasting in connection with the 
       Spin-Off. Future fees may vary, above the minimum fee of $500,000, 
       depending upon the level of acquisition and financing activities of 
       Triathlon. Triathlon has previously announced that it is exploring ways 
       of maximizing stockholder value, including possible sale to a third 
       party. In the event that Triathlon were acquired by a third party, 
       there can be no assurance that the agreement would continue for the 
       remainder of its term. See "Certain Relationships and Related 
       Transactions--Triathlon Fees." 

(2)    The PACE acquisition agreement provides that each PACE seller shall 
       have an option (a "Fifth Year Put Option"), exercisable during a period 
       beginning on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the PACE 
       Acquisition and ending 90 days thereafter, to require the Company to 
       purchase up to one-third of the Class A Common Stock received by that 
       PACE seller (representing 500,000 shares in the aggregate) for a cash 
       purchase price of $33.00 per share. With certain limited exceptions, 
       the Fifth Year Put Option rights are not assignable by the sellers. The 
       maximum amount payable under all Fifth Year Put Options ($16,500,000) 
       has been presented as temporary equity on the pro forma balance sheet. 
       See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and 
       Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." 

(3)    Includes 500,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock issued to the PACE 
       sellers in connection with the Fifth Year Put Option; these shares are 
       not included in calculating the net loss per common share. 

(4)    Reflects the assumed issuance of 7,000,000 shares of Class A Common 
       Stock in connection with the Offering and the approximately 1.5 million 
       shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the 
       Pending Acquisitions. 

(5)    "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, other income, 
       net, equity income (loss) from investments and depreciation and 
       amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance 
       calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals 
       ("GAAP"), the Company believes that EBITDA is accepted by the 
       entertainment industry as a generally recognized measure of performance 
       and is used by analysts who report publicly on the performance of 
       entertainment companies. Nevertheless, this measure should not be 
       considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net 
       income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure 
       for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity which 
       is calculated in accordance with GAAP. 
       
       There are other adjustments that could affect EBITDA but have not been 
       reflected herein. Had such adjustments been made, Adjusted EBITDA on a 
       pro forma basis would have been approximately $96,465,000 for the year 
       ended December 31, 1997 and $104,883,000 for the twelve months ended 
       March 31, 1998, an increase of $8,418,000. The adjustments include the 
       expected cost savings in connection with the Recent Acquisitions 
       associated with the elimination of duplicative staffing and general and 
       administrative expenses of $5,740,000 and $5,655,000, and include 
       equity income from investments of $5,347,000 and $6,362,000, for the 
       year ended December 31, 1997 and the twelve months ended March 31, 1998,
       respectively. While management believes that such cost savings are 
       achievable, the Company's ability to fully achieve such cost savings is 
       subject to numerous factors, certain of which may be beyond the 
       Company's control. 

(6)    Stockholders' equity on a pro forma basis have not been adjusted for 
       future charges to earnings which will result from the issuance of stock 
       and options granted to certain executive officers and other employees 
       of the Company or certain other costs. See "Management's Discussion and 
       Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity 
       and Capital Resources--Future Charges to Earnings."

                                 RISK FACTORS 

   Stockholders should carefully consider and evaluate the following risk 
factors together with the other information set forth in this Prospectus. 

   Certain statements, estimates, predictions and projections contained in 
this Prospectus under "Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Business" and 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations" in addition to certain statements contained elsewhere in this 
Prospectus, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and 
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange 
Act"). These forward-looking statements are prospective, involving risks and 
uncertainties. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions on 
which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect the Company's 
current judgment regarding the direction of its business, actual results will 
almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, 
projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Some 
important factors (but not necessarily all factors) that could affect the 
Company's revenues, growth strategies, future profitability and operating 
results, or that otherwise could cause actual results to differ materially 
from those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statement, are 
discussed below as well as elsewhere in this Prospectus. Stockholders are 
urged to carefully consider these factors in connection with the 
forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to release 
publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements that may be made to 
reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Prospectus or to 
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 

ABSENCE OF COMBINED OPERATING HISTORY; POTENTIAL INABILITY TO INTEGRATE 
ACQUIRED BUSINESSES 


    
   
   The business of the Company has been developed principally through the 
acquisition of established live entertainment businesses, all of which have 
been acquired since January 1997. The Company consummated the 1997 
Acquisitions between January and June of 1997 and the Recent Acquisitions in 
February through April of 1998. Prior to their acquisition by the Company, 
these acquired companies operated independently. In addition, each of the 
businesses to be acquired in the Pending Acquisitions currently operates 
independently. Each of the Acquired Businesses has, and the Pending 
Acquisitions will, significantly increase the size and operations of the 
Company. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements 
include the combined operating results of the Acquired Businesses and the 
Pending Acquisitions during periods when they were not under common control 
or management, and therefore may not necessarily be indicative of the results 
that would have been attained had the Company and the Acquired Businesses 
operated on a combined basis during those periods. On a pro forma basis, as 
of and for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998, the Recent Acquisitions 
and the Pending Acquisitions represented 71% and 16% of the Company's revenues 
and 52% and 25% of its assets, respectively. The Company's prospects should 
be considered in light of the numerous risks commonly encountered in business 
combinations. Although the anticipated management of the Company has 
significant experience in other industries, there can be no assurance that 
the Company's management group will be able to effectively integrate the 
Acquired Businesses and the businesses to be acquired in the Pending 
Acquisitions. The Company's business, financial condition and results of 
operations could be materially adversely affected if the Company is unable to 
retain the key personnel that have contributed to the historical performances 
of the Acquired Businesses, the Company or the businesses to be acquired in 
the Pending Acquisitions. See "--Dependence on Key Personnel" and "Business." 
    

FUTURE CONTINGENT PAYMENTS 

 RELATED TO RECENT ACQUISITIONS 

   
   Certain of the agreements relating to the Recent Acquisitions provide for 
purchase price adjustments and other future contingent payments under certain 
circumstances. The PACE acquisition agreement provides that each PACE seller 
will have an option, exercisable for 90 days after the fifth anniversary of 
the closing of the PACE acquisition, to require the Company to repurchase up 
to 500,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock received by that seller for 
$33.00 in cash per share (an aggregate of up to $16.5 million). Pursuant to 
the terms of the Becker Employment Agreement (as defined herein), during the 
period between December 12, 1999 and December 27, 1999, Mr. Becker, an 
Executive Vice President, Director and a Member of the Office of the Chairman 
of the Company, will have the option to, among other things, require the 
Company to purchase any stock or portion thereof (including vested and 
    

                               16           
<PAGE>
unvested options) granted to him by the Company and/or pay him an amount 
equal to the present value of the compensation payable during the remaining 
term of his employment agreement. See "Management--Employment Agreements and 
Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors." Moreover, pursuant to the 
Contemporary acquisition agreement, if the average trading price of the 
1,402,850 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in the Contemporary 
acquisition is less than $13.33 during the 20 days prior to the second 
anniversary of the Contemporary acquisition, the Company will be required to 
pay one-half of such difference for each share held by the sellers of 
Contemporary on such date. Pursuant to the Network acquisition agreement, the 
Company has agreed to increase the purchase price for Network based on 
Network's actual 1998 EBITDA (as defined in the acquisition agreement) as 
follows: (a) by $4.0 million if the 1998 EBITDA equals or exceeds $9.0 
million; (b) by an additional $4 for each $1 of additional 1998 EBITDA 
between $9.0 million and $10.0 million; and (c) by an additional $6 for each 
$1 of additional 1998 EBITDA between $10.0 million and $11.0 million. This 
contingent consideration of up to $14.0 million is payable in shares of Class 
A Common Stock or, in certain circumstances, in cash by no later than March 
20, 1999. 

   
 RELATED TO THE PENDING ACQUISITIONS 

   Certain of the agreements relating to the Pending Acquistions provide for 
future contingent payments under certain circumstances. The Company is 
obligated to pay to the FAME sellers additional amounts up to $15.0 million 
in equal annual installments over 5 years contingent on the achievement by 
FAME of certain EBITDA targets. The FAME agreement also provides for 
additional payments by the Company to the FAME sellers if FAME's EBITDA 
performance exceeds the targets by certain amounts. Furthermore, if the 
Company disposes of all or substantially all of the assets or 50% or more of 
the voting or equity interests of FAME during the five years following the 
closing of the FAME acquisition, certain payments may become due to the FAME 
sellers out of the proceeds of such sale. See "Agreements Related to the 
Pending Acquisitions." In addition, pursuant to the agreement relating to the 
acquisition of certain assets of Oakdale, if the combined EBITDA (as defined 
in the acquisition agreement) for 1999 of Oakdale Theater and Meadows exceeds 
$5.5 million, the Company will be obligated to pay the sellers of Oakdale 
between 5.0 and 5.8 times the amount of such excess. See "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Pending Acquisitions" and 
"Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions." 

 RELATED TO WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS 

   Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company must pay SFX 
Broadcasting any net negative Working Capital at the time of consummation of 
the SFX Merger. Alternatively, SFX Broadcasting must pay to the Company any 
net positive Working Capital. As of March 31, 1998, the Company estimates 
that Working Capital to be paid by SFX Broadcasting to the Company would have 
been approximately $3.3 million. The actual amount of Working Capital will be 
a function of, among other things, the operating results of SFX Broadcasting 
through the date of the SFX Merger, the actual date of the closing of the SFX 
Merger and the actual cost of consummating the SFX Merger and the related 
transactions. See "--Substantial Leverage" and "--Restrictions Imposed by the 
Company's Indebtedness," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources," 
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Indemnification of Mr. 
Sillerman" and "Description of Indebtedness." 

 RELATED TO THE TAX INDEMNITY PAYMENT 

   Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company is required to 
indemnify SFX Broadcasting for certain tax obligations including a tax 
obligation of approximately $120.0 million in connection with the Spin-Off. 
Management's estimate of the amount of the indemnity payment is based on 
certain assumptions which management believes are reasonable. However, the 
actual amount could vary significantly. See "Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources--Spin-Off."

 RELATED TO OTHER INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS 
    

   Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company has also agreed to 
indemnify, defend and hold SFX Broadcasting and its subsidiaries harmless 
from and against certain liabilities to which SFX 

                               17           
<PAGE>
   
Broadcasting or any of its subsidiaries may be or become subject. These 
liabilities relate to the assets, business, operations, employees (including 
under any employment agreement assumed by the Company in the Spin-Off), debts 
or liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries. Although the Company does 
not anticipate that any material liabilities for which it has agreed to 
indemnify SFX Broadcasting and its subsidiaries will arise, it is possible 
that the Company will become subject to these liabilities. Any of these 
liabilities may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
financial condition or results of operations. 
    

   Concurrently with the execution of the SFX Merger Agreement, Mr. Sillerman 
waived his right to receive indemnification from SFX Broadcasting, its 
subsidiaries, SFX Buyer Sub and SFX Buyer, after the effective time of the 
SFX Merger with respect to claims or damages relating to the SFX Merger 
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, except to the extent 
that SFX Broadcasting can be reimbursed under the terms of its directors' and 
officers' liability insurance. It is anticipated that the Company will 
indemnify (to the extent permitted by law) Mr. Sillerman for any such claims 
or damages. In addition, pursuant to Messrs. Sillerman's and Ferrel's 
existing employment agreements with SFX Broadcasting (which will be assumed 
by the Company pursuant to the Distribution Agreement), the Company will be 
obligated to indemnify them (to the extent permitted by law) for one-half of 
the cost of any excise tax that may be assessed against them for any 
change-of-control payments made to them by SFX Broadcasting in connection 
with the SFX Merger. See "Certain Relationships and Related 
Transactions--Assumption of Employment Agreements; Certain Change of Control 
Payments" and "--Indemnification of Mr. Sillerman." 

   
   In addition, the agreements relating to the Tax Sharing Agreement and the 
Employee Benefits Agreement provide for certain other indemnities, including 
the $120.0 million tax indemnity liability to SFX Broadcasting which the 
Company intends to fund with a portion of the proceeds of the Financing. 

RISKS RELATED TO THE PENDING ACQUISITIONS 

   The aggregate consideration to be paid in the Pending Acquisitions is 
expected to consist of approximately $216.1 million in cash, including the 
repayment of $10.0 million in debt, and the issuance of 1,531,782 shares of 
Class A Common Stock. The Company intends to finance the cash portion of the 
purchase price with the proceeds of the Financing. The availability of funds 
under the Credit Facility is subject to certain financial covenants and there 
can be no assurance that the funds required to complete the Pending 
Acquisitions will be available to the Company when needed. See "Description 
of Indebtedness." In addition, certain of the agreements relating to the 
Pending Acquisitions provide for future contingent payments under certain 
circumstances. See "--Future Contingent Payments" and "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Agreements Related to the 
Pending Acquisitions." 

   In addition, the approximately 1.5 million shares to be issued in 
connection with acquisitions of FAME and Don Law were not registered under 
the Securities Act or state securities laws, as may have been required. The 
Company has filed a registration statement in order to make a rescission 
offer (the "Rescission Offer") with respect to such transactions which could 
result in the unwinding of all or a portion of the FAME and/or Don Law 
acquisitions. The Company does not expect the sellers of FAME or Don Law to 
accept such Rescission Offer. 

   There can be no assurance as to when or which of the Pending Acquisitions 
will be consummated or that they will be consummated on the terms described 
herein or at all. Furthermore, the consummation of the Pending Acquisitions 
may fail to conform to the assumptions used in the preparation of the 
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements included herein. 
Therefore, in analyzing the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial 
Statements and other information, prospective purchasers of the Class A 
Common Stock should consider that the Pending Acquisitions may not be 
consummated at all or on the terms described herein. In addition, although 
the Company has conducted a due diligence investigation of the Pending 
Acquisitions, the scope of its investigation has been limited. Although the 
agreements governing the Pending Acquisitions generally provide for 
indemnification from the seller for a limited period of time with respect to 
certain matters, such indemnification is subject to thresholds and 
limitations and it is possible that other material matters not 
    

                               18           
<PAGE>
   
identified in due diligence will subsequently be identified or that the 
matters heretofore identified will prove to be more significant than 
currently expected. 

   While none of the Pending Acquisitions is conditioned on the consummation 
of any other Pending Acquisition, consummation of each of the Pending 
Acquisitions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of closing 
conditions, certain of which are beyond the Company's control, including in 
certain cases approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements 
Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). The failure to satisfy these 
conditions would permit each of the parties to the acquisition agreements to 
refuse to consummate the respective Pending Acquisitions. See "Agreements 
Related to the Pending Acquisitions." 
    

SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE 

   
   The Company is a highly leveraged company. As of March 31, 1998, on a pro 
forma basis giving effect to the Transactions, the Pending Acquisitions and the
Financing, the Company's consolidated indebtedness would have been
approximately $628.0 million (of which $350.0 million would have consisted of
the Notes, and the balance would have consisted of $235.0 million in debt under
the Credit Facility, and $43.0 million in other debt), its temporary
equity--stock subject to redemption would have been approximately $16.5
million, and its stockholders' equity would have been approximately $280.9
million. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements." On
a pro forma basis for the Transactions, the Pending Acquisitions and the
Financing, the Company's ratio of total debt to total capitalization as of
March 31, 1998 would have been approximately 0.7 to 1.0. The Company's earnings
were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $26.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, and would have been insufficient by $22.1 million on a
pro forma basis for the Transactions, the Pending Acquisitions and the
Financing for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998.

   In addition, certain of the agreements relating to the Recent Acquisitions 
and the Pending Acquisitions provide for other purchase price adjustments and 
future contingent payments in certain circumstances. See "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations--Recent Acquisitions" and "--Pending Acquisitions." In addition, 
the Company may incur substantial additional indebtedness from time to time 
to finance future acquisitions, for capital expenditures or for other 
purposes. See "--Future Contingent Payments," "Capitalization" and "Unaudited 
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements." 

   The Company's ability to make scheduled payments of principal, to pay 
interest on or to refinance its indebtedness, or to fund planned capital 
expenditures, will depend on its future financial performance, which, to a 
certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, 
legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control, as well as the 
success of the Acquired Businesses and the businesses to be acquired in the 
Pending Acquisitions and their integration into the Company's operations. 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make planned 
borrowings (including under the Credit Facility), that the Company's business 
will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings 
will be available in an amount to enable the Company to service its debt and 
to make necessary capital or other expenditures. The Company may be required 
to refinance a portion of the principal amount of its indebtedness prior to 
their respective maturities. There can be no assurance that the Company will 
be able to raise additional capital through the sale of securities, the 
disposition of assets or otherwise for any refinancing. See "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." 

   The degree to which the Company is and will be leveraged could have 
material consequences to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, 
including, but not limited to, (a) increasing the Company's vulnerability to 
general adverse economic and industry conditions, (b) limiting the Company's 
ability to obtain additional financing to fund future acquisitions, working 
capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements, (c) 
requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of the Company's cash flow 
from operations to the payment of principal of, and interest on, its 
indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of the cash flow to fund 
working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes, 
(d) limiting the Company's flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, 
changes in its business and the industry and (e) placing the Company at a 
competitive disadvantage to less leveraged 
    

                                19           
<PAGE>
competitors. In addition, the indenture relating to the Notes (the 
"Indenture") and the Credit Facility contain, financial and other restrictive 
covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things, 
borrow additional funds. Failure by the Company to comply with these 
covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, 
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial 
condition and results of operations. The indebtedness incurred under the 
Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of the stock of its subsidiaries and 
by liens on substantially all of its and its subsidiaries' tangible assets. 
In addition, the Notes and borrowings under the Credit Facility are 
guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries. See "--Restrictions Imposed by the 
Company's Indebtedness" and "Description of Indebtedness." 

   
DISCRETIONARY USE OF FUNDS 

   While the Company expects to use the proceeds of the Offering as set forth 
in "Use of Proceeds," the expectation is based on its ability to consummate 
the Pending Acquisitions on the terms contemplated or at all, and on certain 
other factors beyond its control, including the ability to borrow sufficient 
funds under the Credit Facility. If the Company does not utilize the funds as 
set forth herein or utilizes different amounts than presently contemplated, 
the Company could use any remaining cash, subject to the terms of the 
Indenture, the Credit Agreement, to fund other development projects or 
acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes including working capital. 
See "Use of Proceeds." 
    

EXPANSION STRATEGY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS 

   
   The Company is currently negotiating additional acquisitions and expects 
to pursue additional acquisitions of live entertainment businesses in the 
future. However, it may be unable to identify and acquire additional suitable 
businesses or obtain the financing necessary to acquire the businesses. 
Future acquisitions by the Company could result in (a) potentially dilutive 
issuance of equity securities, (b) the incurrence of substantial additional 
indebtedness and/or (c) the amortization of expenses related to goodwill and 
other intangible assets, any or all of which could materially adversely 
affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 
Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the 
assimilation of the operations, technologies, services and products of the 
acquired companies and the diversion of management's attention from other 
business concerns. If any acquisition occurs, the Company's business, 
financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely 
affected. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital 
Resources--Recent Developments" and "Future Acquisitions." 

   Each acquisition is subject to the prior approval of the Company's lenders 
under the Credit Facility and financing for such acquisitions may be 
unavailable or restricted by the terms of the Credit Facility and the 
Indenture. 
    

RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY THE COMPANY'S INDEBTEDNESS 

   
   Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, a "Change of Control" will 
be deemed to occur if, among other things, Mr. Sillerman beneficially owns 
less than 35% of the combined voting power of the outstanding Common Stock. 
Upon consummation of the Offering and the Pending Acquisitions, Mr. Sillerman 
will beneficially own approximately 38.1% of the combined voting power of the 
Company. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, a change of 
control will be deemed to occur if any party, other than Mr. Sillerman, 
becomes the beneficial owner of more than 35% of the combined voting power of 
the outstanding Common Stock. In the event of a "Change of Control" under the 
Credit Facility the Company will be required to repay all amounts outstanding 
under the Credit Facility and, in the event of a "Change of Control" under 
the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase the 
outstanding Notes. 

   The Indenture and the Credit Facility also contain a number of significant 
covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and 
its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay 
other indebtedness, pay dividends, make certain investments or acquisitions, 
    

                               20           
<PAGE>
   
repurchase or redeem capital stock, engage in mergers or consolidations, or 
engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates and otherwise 
restrict corporate activities. These restrictions may adversely affect the 
Company's ability to finance its future operations or capital needs or to 
engage in other business activities that may be in the interest of the 
Company. In addition, the Indenture and the Credit Facility require the 
Company to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios, such as a 
maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior leverage ratio, a minimum 
fixed charges ratio, a minimum pro forma interest expense ratio and a minimum 
debt service ratio. The Company's ability to comply with these ratios and 
limits may be affected by events beyond its control. A breach of any of these 
covenants or the inability of the Company to comply with the required 
financial ratios or limits could result in an event of default under the 
Credit Facility. Such an event of default could permit the lenders to declare 
all borrowings outstanding to be due and payable, to require the Company to 
apply all of its available cash to repay its borrowings or to prevent the 
Company from making debt service payments on certain portions of its 
outstanding indebtedness. If the Company were unable to repay any borrowings 
when due, the lenders could proceed against their collateral. The Credit 
Facility requires the Company and its subsidiaries to grant the lenders 
thereunder a continuing security interest in all of their tangible assets and 
in the capital stock of the guaranteeing subsidiaries. If the Company's 
indebtedness were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that the 
assets of the Company would be sufficient to repay its indebtedness in full. 
See "Description of Indebtedness." 
    

   There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain a waiver 
of these provisions or that sufficient funds will be available at the time of 
any Change of Control to refinance its indebtedness. The failure to either 
obtain waivers or refinance its indebtedness will result in a material 
adverse effect to the Company's business, results of operations and financial 
condition. See "--Substantial Leverage," "Principal Stockholders" and 
"Description of Indebtedness." 

CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT 

   
   Upon the consummation of the Offering and the Pending Acquisitions, Mr. 
Sillerman will beneficially own approximately 38.1% of the total voting power 
of the Common Stock, and all directors and executive officers together will 
beneficially own approximately 44.9% of the total voting power of the Common 
Stock. Accordingly, these persons will have substantial influence over the 
affairs of the Company, including the ability to control the election of a 
majority of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), the decision 
whether to effect or prevent a merger or sale of assets (except in certain 
"going private transactions") and other matters requiring stockholder 
approval. Moreover, control by management may have the effect of discouraging 
certain types of "change of control" transactions, including transactions in 
which the holders of Class A Common Stock might otherwise receive a premium 
for their shares. See "--Anti-Takeover Effects," "Management," "Principal 
Stockholders" and "Description of Capital Stock." 

   Mr. Sillerman beneficially owns 1,524,168 shares of Class B Common Stock 
representing approximately 34.6% of the total voting power of the Common 
Stock, which will allow him to exert substantial control in the election of 
directors. Each share of Class B Common Stock automatically converts into a 
share of Class A Common Stock upon (a) its sale, gift, or other transfer, 
voluntary or involuntary, to a party that is not an Affiliate (as defined in 
the Certificate of Incorporation) of Mr. Sillerman or of the Company or (b) 
upon the death of Mr. Sillerman, in the case of any shares of Class B Common 
Stock held by Mr. Sillerman or any Affiliate of Mr. Sillerman. The terms of 
the Certificate of Incorporation contemplate that, absent an event of 
automatic conversion, the shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. 
Sillerman could be transferred to a third-party without losing their special 
voting rights. 
    

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL 

   
   The success of the Company depends substantially on the abilities and 
continued service of certain of its (and its subsidiaries') executive 
officers and directors. In particular, the Company will depend on the 
continued services of Robert F.X. Sillerman, Michael G. Ferrel, Brian Becker, 
Howard J. Tytel, Thomas P. Benson and, upon the consummation of the 
acquisition of FAME, David Falk. Although many of these individuals generally 
have greater experience in the radio broadcasting business than the live 
    

                               21           
<PAGE>
   
entertainment industry, they do have significant expertise in selecting, 
negotiating and financing acquisitions and in operating and managing public 
companies. In addition, most of the Company's directors and executive 
officers are also currently acting as directors and executive officers of SFX 
Broadcasting. Until the consummation of the SFX Merger, most of these 
directors and executive officers can be anticipated to expend substantial 
time and effort in managing the business of SFX Broadcasting (which may 
detract from their performance with respect to the Company). If the SFX 
Merger is not consummated, there can be no assurance that the Company will be 
able to retain the services of these directors and executive officers. The 
Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Becker and has 
reached agreements in principle with Messrs. Sillerman, Ferrel, Tytel and 
Benson to enter into employment agreements, which agreements will be 
effective upon consummation of the SFX Merger. In addition, the Company has 
entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Falk that becomes effective 
upon the consummation of the acquisition of FAME. See "--Potential Conflicts 
of Interest" and "Management." 

   Furthermore, the operations of each of the Acquired Businesses and the 
businesses to be acquired in the Pending Acquisitions are local in nature and 
depend to a significant degree on the continued services of certain 
individuals at each business. See "Management" and "Certain Relationships and 
Related Transactions." The loss of any of these individuals' services could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition 
and results of operations. See "--Absence of Combined Operating History; 
Potential Inability to Integrate Acquired Businesses." 
    

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 

   
   Marquee is a publicly-traded company that, among other things, provides 
talent representation services to professional athletes and acts as booking 
agent for tours and appearances for musicians and other entertainers. The 
Company has indicated to Marquee its potential interest in acquiring Marquee. 
Mr. Sillerman has an aggregate equity interest of approximately 9.1% in 
Marquee and Mr. Sillerman is the chairman of its board of directors, and Mr. 
Tytel is one of its directors. Upon the consummation of the acquisition of 
FAME, the Company may directly compete with Marquee in obtaining 
representation agreements with particular athletes and endorsement 
opportunities for its clients. In addition, the Company anticipates that, 
from time to time, it will enter into transactions and arrangements 
(particularly booking arrangements) with Marquee and Marquee's clients. In 
any transaction or arrangement with Marquee, Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel are 
likely to have conflicts of interest as officers and directors of the 
Company. These transactions or arrangements will be subject to the approval 
of a committee of independent members of the boards of directors of each of 
the Company and Marquee, except that booking arrangements in the ordinary 
course of business will be subject to periodic review but not the approval of 
each particular arrangement. Marquee also acts as a promoter of various 
sporting events and sports personalities and the Company produces ice skating 
and gymnastics events that may compete with events in which Marquee is 
involved. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations--Recent Developments" and "Certain Relationships 
and Related Transactions--Potential Conflicts of Interest." 

   The Sillerman Companies, Inc. ("TSC"), an entity controlled by Mr. 
Sillerman and in which Mr. Tytel also has an equity interest, provides 
financial consulting services to Marquee. TSC's services are provided by 
certain directors, officers and employees of the Company who are not 
separately compensated for their services by TSC. In any transaction, 
arrangement or competition with Marquee, Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel are 
likely to have conflicts of interest between their duties as officers and 
directors of the Company, on the one hand, and their duties as directors of 
Marquee and their interests in TSC and Marquee, on the other hand. See 
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Triathlon Fees." 
    

   In addition, prior to the consummation of the SFX Merger, Mr. Sillerman 
and other members of the Company's management team will have management 
obligations to both SFX Broadcasting and the Company that may cause them to 
have conflicts of interest. See "Management" and "Certain Relationships and 
Related Transactions--Potential Conflicts of Interest." 

                               22           
<PAGE>
RIGHTS TO PURCHASE CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES 

   
   Pursuant to the employment agreement entered into between Brian Becker and 
the Company in connection with the PACE acquisition, Mr. Becker has the 
option, exercisable within 15 days after February 25, 2000 to acquire the 
Company's then existing motor sports line of business (or, if that line of 
business has previously been sold, the Company's then existing theatrical 
line of business) at its then fair market value. Mr. Becker's exercise of 
this option could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, during the period 
between February 25, 1999 and February 25, 2000, Mr. Becker also has a right 
of first refusal under certain circumstances to acquire the theatrical or 
motor sports line of business at a price equal to 95% of the proposed 
purchase price. On a pro forma basis, specialized motor sports would have 
comprised approximately 6%, and theater would have comprised approximately 
13%, of the Company's total net revenues for the year ended March 31, 1998. 
The Don Law seller and the Company have also agreed to enter into an 
agreement pursuant to which the assets to be acquired in the Don Law 
Acquisition, with certain exceptions, will be subject to a right of first 
refusal of the Don Law seller if the Company elects to sell such assets 
within two years after the closing of the Don Law Acquisition. These rights 
of first refusal may have the effect of discouraging potential bidders for 
such lines of business from negotiating with the Company. See 
"Management--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and 
Directors" and "Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions." 
    

   In addition, after the consummation of the Spin-Off or the SFX Merger, the 
senior management of Concerts may have the right pursuant to their employment 
agreements (a) to purchase the outstanding capital stock of Concerts (a 
subsidiary of the Company holding a significant amount of the assets of the 
Company) for Fair Market Value (as defined in their employment agreements) or 
(b) to receive a cash payment equal to 15% of the amount by which the Fair 
Market Value of Concerts exceeds the fixed payment portion of the cash 
purchase price of the acquisition of Concerts, plus 20% interest thereon. The 
senior management of Concerts and SFX Broadcasting have reached an agreement 
in principle to waive the above rights in connection with the Spin-Off, the 
SFX Merger and related transactions; however, there can be no assurance that 
the rights will be waived on terms acceptable to SFX Broadcasting and the 
Company or at all. In addition, although the Company is in the process of 
negotiating amendments to these agreements, these and certain other rights 
described in the agreements may continue to apply to transactions after, or 
unrelated to, the Spin-Off or the SFX Merger. See "Certain Relationships and 
Related Transactions--Delsener/Slater Employment Agreements." 

   The Company has also agreed that it will not sell all, or substantially 
all, of BGP's assets prior to February 24, 2001 without offering the BGP 
sellers the opportunity to purchase the assets on the same terms as those 
included in any bona fide offer received by the Company from any third party. 
BGP's right of first refusal may have the effect of discouraging potential 
bidders for BGP's assets from negotiating with the Company. 

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND CONSUMER TASTES; AVAILABILITY OF ARTISTS AND EVENTS 

   The Company's operations are affected by general economic conditions and 
consumer tastes. The demand for live entertainment tends to be highly 
sensitive to consumers' disposable incomes, and thus a decline in general 
economic conditions that generally reduces consumers' disposable incomes can, 
in turn, materially adversely affect the Company's revenues. In addition, the 
profitability of events promoted or produced by the Company is directly 
related to the ancillary revenues generated by those events, and the 
ancillary revenues decrease with lower attendance levels. The success of a 
music concert, theatrical show or motor sports event depends on public 
tastes, which are unpredictable and susceptible to change, and may also be 
significantly affected by the number and popularity of competitive 
productions, concerts or events as well as other forms of entertainment. It 
is impossible for the Company to predict the success of any music concert, 
theatrical show or motor sports event. In addition, decreased attendance, a 
change in public tastes or an increase in competition could have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of 
operations. 

   The Company's success and ability to sell tickets (including 
subscriptions) is also highly dependent on the availability of popular 
musical artists, Touring Broadway Shows and specialized motor sports 

                               23           
<PAGE>
talent, among other performers of live entertainment. The Company's and the 
Acquired Businesses' results of operations have been adversely affected in 
periods where fewer popular musical artists and/or popular theatrical 
productions were available for presentation. There can be no assurance that 
popular musical artists, theatrical shows or specialized motor sports talent 
will be available to the Company in the future. The lack of availability of 
these artists and productions could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 

   
RISKS RELATED TO THE REPRESENTATION OF ATHLETES 

   Upon the consummation of the acquisition of FAME, the Company will become 
a leading full-service marketing and management company specializing in the 
representation of team sports athletes primarily in professional basketball. 
A significant portion of FAME's revenues to date has been derived from a 
small number of clients. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the 
Transactions and the Pending Acquisitions, the Company estimates that five of 
FAME's clients would have accounted for approximately 78% of FAME's revenues 
for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998 and, on such pro forma basis, 
FAME's EBITDA would have comprised approximately 7% of the Company's EBITDA 
for the same period. The amount of endorsement and other revenues which these 
clients generate is a function of, among other things, such clients' 
professional performance and public appeal. Factors beyond the Company's 
control, such as a client's injury, declining skill, declining public appeal 
or conduct in violation of team or league policy, as well as labor unrest in 
the sports industry, could have a material adverse affect on the Company's 
operations. In the event of a labor interruption, for example, FAME's 
revenues related to the negotiation of a client's contract (absent a 
retroactive payment for games missed as part of any settlement) would 
generally cease for the duration of the stoppage. Endorsement revenues, which 
generally require that a player be on an active roster, might also be 
affected in the event of a labor interruption. FAME's representation 
agreements with its clients are generally for a term equal to the term of the 
player's professional sports contract, but are terminable on 15 days' notice 
(although FAME would continue to be entitled to the revenue streams generated 
during the remaining term of any contracts which it negotiated). The 
termination or expiration of FAME's contracts with certain clients could also 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. 
    

FUTURE CHARGES TO EARNINGS 

   
   Consummation of the Recent Acquisitions and the Pending Acquisitions will 
result in substantial charges to earnings relating to interest expense and 
the recognition and amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets; 
these charges will increase the Company's losses or reduce or eliminate its 
earnings, if any. As of March 31, 1998 the Company had goodwill and other 
intangible assets of approximately $470.7 million. This balance will 
substantially increase due to the Pending Acquisitions. Goodwill and other 
intangible assets are being amortized using the straight line method over 15 
years. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements" and 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Future Charges to Earnings." 

   The Company anticipates entering into or amending employment agreements 
with certain of its executive officers. In connection with these agreements, 
the Company has sold to the executive officers an aggregate of 650,000 shares 
of Class B Common Stock and 190,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a 
purchase price of $2.00 per share. The Company will record a non-cash 
compensation charge in the second quarter of 1998 of approximately $24 
million associated with this sale. In addition, the Company will recognize a 
non-cash charge to earnings in the second quarter of 1998 of approximately 
$7.5 million resulting from the issuance of 247,177 shares of Class A Common 
Stock to Mr. Sillerman in connection with the Meadows Repurchase (as defined 
herein). The amount of such charge is equal to the fair value of Class A 
Common Stock received by Mr. Sillerman at the time of the Meadows Repurchase. 
Further, the Board, on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, also 
has approved the issuance of certain "below market" stock options exercisable 
for an aggregate of 252,500 shares of Class A Common Stock. These options will 
vest over three years and will have an exercise price of $5.50 per share. The 
Company will record non-cash compensation charges over the three-year exercise 
period of 
    

                               24           
<PAGE>
   
approximately $2 million annually. These substantial non-cash charges to 
earnings will increase the Company's losses or reduce or eliminate its 
earnings, if any. See "--Future Contingent Payments," "Certain Relationships 
and Related Transactions" and "Management--Employment Agreements and 
Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors." 
    

COMPETITION 

   
   Competition in the live entertainment industry is intense, and is 
fragmented among a wide variety of entities. The Company competes on a local, 
regional and national basis with a number of large venue owners and 
entertainment promoters for the hosting, booking, promoting and producing of 
music concerts, theatrical shows, motor sports events and other live 
entertainment events. Moreover, the Company's marketing and consulting 
operations compete with advertising agencies and other marketing 
organizations. The Company and the businesses to be acquired in the Pending 
Acquisitions, compete not only with other live entertainment events, 
including sporting events and theatrical presentations, but also with 
non-live forms of entertainment, such as television, radio and motion 
pictures. The talent representation industry is also highly competitive. The 
Company competes with both larger and smaller entities. A number of the 
Company's competitors have substantially greater resources than the Company. 
Certain of the Company's competitors may also operate on a less leveraged 
basis, and have greater operating and financial flexibility, than the 
Company. In addition, many of these competitors also have long standing 
relationships with performers, producers, and promoters and may offer other 
services that are not provided by the Company. There can be no assurance that 
the Company will be able to compete successfully in this market or against 
these competitors. 
    

CONTROL OF VENUES 

   The Company operates a number of its live entertainment venues under 
leasing or booking agreements, and accordingly the Company's long-term 
success will depend in part on its ability to renew these agreements when 
they expire or terminate. There can be no assurance that the Company will be 
able to renew these agreements on acceptable terms or at all, or that it will 
be able to obtain attractive agreements with substitute venues. See 
"Business--The Company's Live Entertainment Activities--Venue Operations." 

REGULATORY MATTERS 

   
   The business of the Company is not generally subject to material 
governmental regulation. However, if the Company seeks to acquire or 
construct new venue operations, its ability to do so will be subject to 
extensive local, state and federal governmental licensing, approval and 
permit requirements, including, among other things, approvals of state and 
local land-use and environmental authorities, building permits, zoning 
permits and liquor licenses. Significant acquisitions may also be subject to 
the requirements of the HSR Act. Other types of licenses, approvals and 
permits from governmental or quasi-governmental agencies might also be 
required for other opportunities that the Company may pursue in the future. 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the 
licenses, approvals and permits it may require from time to time in order to 
operate its business. 
    

   The Company has real property relating to its business, consisting of fee 
interests, leasehold interests and other contractual interests. The Company's 
properties are subject to foreign, federal, state and local environmental 
laws and regulations regarding the use, storage, disposal, emission, release 
and remediation of hazardous and non-hazardous substances, materials or 
wastes, including laws relating to noise emissions (which may affect, among 
other things, the hours of operation of the Company's venues). Further, under 
certain of these laws and regulations, the Company could be held strictly, 
jointly and severally liable for the remediation of hazardous substance 
contamination at its facilities or at third-party waste disposal sites, and 
could also be held liable for any personal or property damage related to any 
contamination. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with 
all of these laws and regulations, and has performed preliminary 
environmental assessments of all of the properties that are wholly-owned, 
without identifying material environmental hazards. Although the level 

                               25           
<PAGE>
of future expenditures cannot be determined with certainty, the Company does 
not anticipate, based on currently known facts, that its environmental costs 
are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
financial condition and results of operations. 

POTENTIAL VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE 

   
   As a result of the Spin-Off, stockholders of SFX Broadcasting received 
14,626,061 shares of Common Stock that are freely tradeable at the time of 
the Offering without restrictions or further registration under the 
Securities Act, except that any shares held by "affiliates" of the Company 
within the meaning of the Securities Act will be subject to the resale 
limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Because the 
Spin-Off was made to stockholders of SFX Broadcasting, who did not make an 
affirmative decision to invest in the Class A Common Stock, there can be no 
assurance that some or all of these shareholders will not sell the shares of 
Class A Common Stock into the market shortly after the Spin-Off. Such trading 
could increase the volatility of, and adversely affect the market price of, 
the Class A Common Stock. See "Price Range of Class A Common Stock" and 
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale." 
    

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE 

   
   Sales of substantial amounts of Class A Common Stock in the public market, 
or the possibility that these sales may occur, could adversely affect market 
prices for Class A Common Stock or the future ability of the Company to raise 
capital through an offering of equity securities. Upon consummation of the 
Offering and the Pending Acquisitions, the Company will have 27,118,971 
shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,697,037 shares of Class B Common Stock 
outstanding (not including shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding 
options). Of those shares, a total of 13,579,024 shares will be freely 
tradeable in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act, 
unless the shares are held by "affiliates" of the Company (as that term is 
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act). Under the Underwriting 
Agreement and certain agreements entered into between the representatives of 
the Underwriters and each of the Company's officers and directors (the 
"Lock-Up Agreements") who beneficially hold, in the aggregate 2,162,479 
shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,697,037 shares of Class B Common Stock, 
such officers and directors will not, without the prior written consent of 
Goldman, Sachs & Co., during the period commencing on the date hereof and 
ending 180 days after the date of this Prospectus, (i) offer, pledge, sell or 
otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of 
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or 
exchangeable for Common Stock or any right to acquire Common Stock, or (ii) 
enter into any swap or similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, 
the economic risk of ownership of the Common Stock. The foregoing provisions 
will not apply to (i) exercise of options or warrants, or (ii) transfers, 
without consideration to family members or to one or more trusts established 
for the benefit of one or more family members, provided that the transferee 
executes and delivers to Goldman, Sachs & Co., an agreement whereby the 
transferee agrees to be bound by all of the foregoing terms and provisions. 
Goldman, Sachs & Co. in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, 
may release all or any portion of the securities subject to the Lock-Up 
Agreements or may waive the covenants contained in the Underwriting 
Agreement. Any such decision to release securities would likely be based upon 
individual stockholder circumstances, prevailing market conditions and other 
relevant factors. Any such release could have a material adverse effect upon 
the price of the Class A Common Stock. Upon the expiration or termination of 
the Lock-Up Agreements, the shares held by affiliates will be eligible for 
sale subject to compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 or pursuant to an 
effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission. See "Underwriting." 

   The 4,216,680 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the 
Recent Acquisitions are "restricted securities" under Rule 144; however, the 
Company has obligations to register all or a portion of these shares. 

   Additionally, pursuant to the acquisition agreement relating to the Don 
Law Acquisition, the Company and the Don Law seller have agreed that they 
(and the members of the Don Law seller) will enter into a registration rights 
agreement regarding the 531,782 shares of Class A Common Stock of the 
    

                               26           
<PAGE>
   
Company to be issued to the Don Law seller, which agreement will provide for, 
among other things: (a) a twelve month lock-up period (provided that the Don 
Law seller and its members may continue to engage in hedging other derivative 
transactions and other transactions with Affiliates (as defined in such 
agreement), (b) a single demand registration right, (c) unlimited piggyback 
registration rights (unless sales under Rule 144 and 145 of the Securities 
Act are available to the members) and (d) usual and customary underwriting 
restrictions with respect to the foregoing. Pursuant to the Underwriting 
Agreement, the Company has agreed not to waive these provisions without the 
consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co. 

   Pursuant to the Rescission Offer, the approximately 1.5 million shares of 
Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Don Law and FAME sellers will become 
(to the extent such sellers do not exercise their rescission rights) freely 
tradeable in the public market, subject to applicable limitations on 
affiliates. 
    

   In addition, the Company has adopted a stock option plan providing for the 
issuance of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common 
Stock. The Company has granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,002,500 
shares of Class A Common Stock under such plan. All shares acquired upon 
exercise of such options will be subject to the Lock-Up Agreements. The Company
anticipates that in the future it will file a registration statement with the 
SEC to register the shares issuable upon exercise of options granted under the 
plan. See "Management--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain 
Officers and Directors" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sales." 

DIVIDEND POLICY 

   The Company has no present plans to declare any dividends on Class A 
Common Stock. The terms of the Indenture and Credit Facility restrict the 
Company's ability to pay dividends on Class A Common Stock in the future. The 
decision to declare a dividend and the amount thereof, if any, will be in the 
sole discretion of the Board. 

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS 

   The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the 
"Company Certificate"), the By-laws of the Company and the Delaware General 
Corporation Law (the "DGCL") contain several provisions that could have the 
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the 
Company in a transaction not approved by the Board. The Company Certificate 
provides for the issuance of shares of Class B Common Stock (with 10 votes 
per share in most matters), and the holders of these shares will generally be 
able to prevent a change of control of the Company if they so desire. In 
addition, the Company Certificate authorizes the Board to issue up to 
25,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the 
number of shares and the relative designations and powers, preferences, and 
rights, and qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof, without 
further vote or action by the stockholders. Issuances of preferred stock 
could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing 
a change in control of the Company and may adversely affect the rights of 
holders of the Common Stock. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the 
anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibit the 
Company from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested 
stockholder" for three years after the date of the transaction in which the 
person became an interested stockholder (unless the business combination is 
approved in a prescribed manner). The application of Section 203 could also 
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. 
The Board has also adopted certain other programs, plans and agreements with 
the Company's management and/or employees that may make a change of control 
more expensive. See "Management," "Principal Stockholders" and "Description 
of Capital Stock." 

   
DILUTION 

   Purchasers of Class A Common Stock in the Offering will be subject to a 
substantial and immediate dilution of $53.32 per share (determined by 
subtracting the Company's pro forma net tangible book value per share as of 
March 31, 1998, adjusted to give effect to the Financing and the Pending 
Acquisitions, from the assumed public offering price of $40.00 per share). On 
a pro forma basis, as of March 31, 1998, the Company's net tangible book 
deficit was $383.9 million as a result of the substantial goodwill and other 
intangibles which the Company has acquired or will acquire in the Recent 
Acquisitions and expects to acquire in and the Pending Acquisitions.

FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE 

   The Board of Directors of SFX Broadcasting determined that at the time of 
the Spin-Off and after giving effect thereto, SFX Broadcasting was solvent. 
There can be no assurance, however that a court would find the facts relied 
on and the judgments made by the Board of Directors of SFX Broadcasting in 
determining that SFX Broadcasting was solvent at the time of, and after 
giving effect to, the Spin-Off would be binding on creditors of SFX 
Broadcasting or that a court would reach the same conclusions as the Board of 
Directors of SFX Broadcasting. If a court in a lawsuit filed by an unpaid 
creditor or representative of unpaid creditors, such as a trustee in 
bankruptcy, were to find that, at the time the Spin-Off was consummated or 
after giving effect thereto, SFX Broadcasting (a) was insolvent, (b) was 
rendered insolvent by reason of the Spin-Off, (c) was engaged in a business 
or transaction for which the remaining assets of SFX Broadcasting constituted 
unreasonably small capital or (d) intended to incur, or believed it would 
incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as the debts matured, then the court 
might require the Company to fund certain liabilities of SFX Broadcasting for 
the benefit of SFX Broadcasting's creditors. If the assets of the Company 
were recovered as fraudulent transfers by a creditor or trustee of SFX 
Broadcasting, the relative priority of right to payment between any financing 
and any fraudulent transfer claimant would be unclear, and the Company could 
be rendered insolvent. In addition, a corporation generally makes 
distributions to its stockholders only out of its surplus (net assets minus 
capital) and not out of capital. The foregoing consequences would also apply 
were a court to find that the Spin-Off was not made out of SFX Broadcasting's 
surplus. The Company incurred indebtedness to finance the Recent 
Acquisitions, to refinance certain indebtedness of the Company and the Recent 
Acquisitions, to pay related fees and expenses, and for general corporate 
purposes. Management believes that the indebtedness of the Company incurred 
in financing the Recent Acquisitions and the Pending Acquisitions was for 
proper purposes and in good faith, and that, based on present forecasts and 
other financial information, the Company is solvent, has sufficient capital 
for carrying on its business and will be able to pay its debts as they 
mature. 

   The Company believes that, (a) SFX Broadcasting and the Company were 
solvent at the time of the Spin-Off, (b) the Company was solvent at the time 
of the financing for the Recent Acquisitions and (c) the Spin-Off was made 
entirely out of SFX Broadcasting surplus in accordance with applicable law. 
However, the Company cannot predict what standard a court might apply in 
evaluating these matters, and it is possible that the court would disagree 
with the Company's conclusions.

                               USE OF PROCEEDS 

   The net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering, after 
deducting the underwriting discount and estimated Offering expenses, are 
estimated to be approximately $262.1 million (approximately $301.8 million if 
the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), assuming a 
public offering price of $40 per share. The Company intends to use the net 
proceeds from the Offering, together with expected borrowings under the 
Credit Facility, to make an anticipated tax indemnity payment, to pay the 
cash portion of the purchase price of the Pending Acquisitions, to repay debt 
in connection with the Pending Acquisitions and to make certain other 
payments described below. The following table represents the Company's best 
estimate of the allocation of the net proceeds of the Offering based on the 
current status of its business. Future events, including the actual amount of 
the tax indemnity payment, the actual amount of the cash purchase price of 
the Pending Acquisitions or any other potential acquisitions, the 
availability of other financing and funds generated from operations and the 
status of the Company's business from time to time, may make changes in the 
allocation of the net proceeds of the Offering necessary or desirable. See 
"Risk Factors--Discretionary Use of Funds."

(1)    On a pro forma basis for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998, 
       amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Facility, plus the net 
       proceeds from the Offering, would be sufficient for the uses of funds 
       described herein. However, there can be no assurance that the Company 
       will have sufficient cash flows at the time of borrowing to permit such 
       borrowings under the terms of its debt agreements. See "Description of 
       Indebtedness--Credit Facility." 
(2)    Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company is required to 
       indemnify SFX Broadcasting for certain tax obligations, including a tax 
       obligation of approximately $120.0 million in connection with the 
       Spin-Off. The tax liability relates to certain deferred intercompany 
       transactions which management believes will give rise to significant 
       additional tax basis which will be available to offset future taxable 
       income. Management's estimates with respect to the amount of the 
       indemnity payment and the additional basis are based on certain 
       assumptions which management believes are reasonable. However, the 
       actual amounts of such obligations could vary materially. See 
       "Management, Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
       of Operations." 
(3)    Includes approximately $7.9 million which the Company anticipates 
       paying in connection with certain taxes which FAME and the FAME sellers 
       will be subject to. See "Agreements Related to the Pending 
       Acquisitions." 
(4)    Includes the repayment of $10.0 million in debt. Assumes that the 
       Company pays $16.0 million of the purchase price for Don Law in shares 
       of Class A Common Stock. See "Agreements Related to the Pending 
       Acquisitions." 
(5)    Includes approximately $400,000 which the Company expects to pay to the 
       Avalon seller to reimburse their third party out of pocket expenses 
       incurred in the development of the Camarillo Creek Amphitheater. 
(6)    Includes a loan to the Oakdale sellers in the amount of $11.4 million, 
       a portion of which will be used to repay Oakdale's senior mortgage 
       indebtedness. See "Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions."
(7)    Consists of approximately $15.4 million underwriting discount and $2.5 
       million of other fees and expenses related to the Financing. The fees 
       and expenses are based on management's estimates, and may not be 
       indicative of, and are likely to vary from, the actual amount of fees 
       and expenses incurred by the Company. See "Agreements Related to the
       Pending Acquisitions."
(8)    Consists of change of control payments under the employment agreements 
       of Messrs. Sillerman, Ferrel and Benson assumed by the Company pursuant 
       to the Distribution Agreement, aggregating approximately $3.3 million, 
       $1.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. See "Certain Relationships 
       and Related Transactions--Assumption of Employment Agreements; Certain 
       Change of Control Payments."

   Certain of the Company's agreements provide for future contingent payments 
in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the Company will 
have sufficient sources of funds to make such payments should they come due. 
In addition, the Company is currently negotiating additional acquisitions 
which, if consummated, will require additional financing. See "Risk 
Factors--Future Contingent Payments" and "--Risks Related to the Pending

(1)    Corporate expenses are reduced by $1,794,000 and $1,286,000 for fees 
       earned from Triathlon Broadcasting Company ("Triathlon") for the year 
       ended December 31, 1997 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998, 
       respectively. The right to receive fees payable under this agreement 
       was assigned to the Company by SFX Broadcasting in connection with the 
       Spin-Off. Future fees may vary, above the minimum fee of $500,000, 
       depending upon the level of acquisition and financing activities of 
       Triathlon. Triathlon has previously announced that it is exploring ways 
       of maximizing stockholder value, including possible sale to a third 
       party. In the event that Triathlon were acquired by a third party, 
       there can be no assurance that the agreement would continue for the 
       remainder of its term. See "Certain Relationships and Related 
       Transactions--Triathlon Fees." 
(2)    The PACE acquisition agreement provides that each PACE seller shall 
       have an option (a "Fifth Year Put Option"), exercisable during a period 
       beginning on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the PACE 
       Acquisition and ending 90 days thereafter, to require the Company to 
       purchase up to one-third of the Class A Common Stock received by that 
       PACE seller (representing 500,000 shares in the aggregate) for a cash 
       purchase price of $33.00 per share. With certain limited exceptions, 
       the Fifth Year Put Option rights are not assignable by the sellers. The 
       maximum amount payable under all Fifth Year Put Options ($16,500,000) 
       has been presented as temporary equity on the pro forma balance sheet. 
       See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and 
       Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." 
(3)    Includes 500,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock issued to the PACE 
       sellers in connection with the Fifth Year Put Option; these shares are 
       not included in calculating the net loss per common share. 
(4)    Reflects the assumed issuance of 7,000,000 shares of Class A Common 
       Stock in connection with the Offering and the approximately 1.5 million 
       shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the 
       Pending Acquisitions. 
(5)    "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, other income, 
       net, equity income (loss) from investments and depreciation and 
       amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance 
       calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals 
       ("GAAP"), the Company believes that EBITDA is accepted by the 
       entertainment industry as a generally recognized measure of performance 
       and is used by analysts who report publicly on the performance of 
       entertainment companies. Nevertheless, this measure should not be 
       considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net 
       income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure 
       for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity which 
       is calculated in accordance with GAAP. 
       There are other adjustments that could affect EBITDA but have not been 
       reflected herein. Had such adjustments been made, Adjusted EBITDA on a 
       pro forma basis would have been approximately $96,465,000 for the year 
       ended December 31, 1997 and $104,883,000 for the twelve months ended 
       March 31, 1998, an increase of $8,418,000. The adjustments include the 
       expected cost savings in connection with the Recent Acquisitions 
       associated with the elimination of duplicative staffing and general and 
       administrative expenses of $5,740,000 and $5,655,000, and include 
       equity income from investments of $5,347,000 and $6,362,000, for the 
       year ended December 31, 1997 and the twelve months ended March 31, 1998,
       respectively. While management believes that such cost savings are 
       achievable, the Company's ability to fully achieve such cost savings is
       subject to numerous factors, certain of which may be beyond the 
       Company's control. 
(6)    Stockholders' equity on a pro forma basis have not been adjusted for 
       future charges to earnings which will result from the issuance of stock 
       and options granted to certain executive officers and other employees 
       of the Company or certain other costs. See "Management's Discussion and 
       Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity 
       and Capital Resources--Future Charges to Earnings."

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

   The following financial statements (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed 
Combined Financial Statements") and notes thereto contain forward-looking 
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The actual results of the 
Company may differ materially from those discussed herein for the reasons 
identified herein. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release 
the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be 
made to reflect any future events or circumstances. 

   
   In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present 
this pro forma information have been made. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed 
Combined Financial Statements are based upon, and should be read in 
conjunction with, the historical financial statements of the Company and the 
1997 Acquisitions, Recent Acquisitions and the Pending Acquisitions and the 
respective notes to such financial statements included herein. The pro forma 
information is based upon tentative allocations of purchase price for the 
Recent Acquisitions and the Pending Acquisitions, and does not purport to be 
indicative of the results that would have been reported had such events 
actually occurred on the date specified, nor is it indicative of the 
Company's future results. Purchase accounting is based upon preliminary asset 
valuations, which are subject to change. 

   The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet at March 31, 1998 
is presented as if the Company had completed the Pending Acquisitions, 
Financing, the Spin-Off and the SFX Merger as of March 31, 1998. 

   The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for 
the year ended December 31, 1997, the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 
the twelve months ended March 31, 1998 are presented as if the Company had 
completed the Transactions, the Pending Acquisitions and the Financing as of 
January 1, 1997. 

   In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial 
Statements do not reflect certain purchase price adjustments and future 
contingent payments contained in the agreements relating to the Recent and 
Pending Acquisitions. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to Pending 
Acquisitions" and "--Future Contingent Payments" and "Management's Discussion 
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and 
Capital Resources." 

   The pro forma financial statements do not include the effect of certain 
immaterial acquisitions. No adjustments have been made to the Pro Forma 
Condensed Combined Statement of Operations relating to charges to earnings 
that are non-recurring and related to the transactions presented. See "Risk 
Factors--Future Charges to Earnings."

NOTES TO PRO FORMA INCOME STATEMENT: 

I.      Represents the Company's actual operating results for the year ended 
        December 31, 1997. 
        EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $10,521,000 and 
        $85,378,000 for the Company on an actual basis and a pro forma basis, 
        respectively. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, 
        other income, net, equity income (loss) from investments and 
        depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of 
        performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes 
        that EBITDA is accepted by the entertainment industry as a generally 
        recognized measure of performance and is used by analysts who report 
        publicly on the performance of entertainment companies. Nevertheless, 
        this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute 
        for operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating 
        activities or any other measure for determining the Company's 
        operating performance or liquidity which is calculated in accordance 
        with GAAP. Cash flows from operating, investing and financing 
        activities for the Company for the year ended December 31, 1997 were 
        $1,005,000, ($73,296,000) and $78,270,000, respectively. 
        There are other adjustments that could affect EBITDA but have not 
        been reflected herein. Had such adjustments been made, Adjusted 
        EBITDA on a pro forma basis would have been approximately $96,465,000 
        for the year ended December 31, 1997. The adjustments include the 
        expected cost savings in connection with the Recent Acquisitions 
        associated with the elimination of duplicative staffing and general 
        and administrative expenses of $5,740,000, and include equity income 
        from investments of $5,347,000. While management believes that such 
        cost savings are achievable, the Company's ability to fully achieve 
        such cost savings is subject to numerous factors, certain of which 
        may be beyond the Company's control. 
        Corporate expenses are net of fees from Triathlon of $1,794,000. 
        These fees will vary, above the minimum level of $500,000, based on 
        the level of acquisition and financing activities of Triathlon. 
        Sillerman Communications Management Corporation ("SCMC") previously 
        assigned its rights to receive fees payable under this agreement to 
        SFX Broadcasting. Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution 
        Agreement, SFX Broadcasting assigned its rights to receive such fees 
        to the Company. Triathlon has previously announced that it is 
        exploring ways of maximizing stockholder value, including possible 
        sale to a third party. In the event that Triathlon were acquired by a 
        third party, there can be no assurance that the agreement would 
        continue for the remainder of its term. 
    

II. PRO FORMA FOR THE TRANSACTIONS 

   
   The Transactions consist of the 1997 Acquisitions, the Recent 
Acquisitions, the Offering, the Spin-Off and the SFX Merger. It is assumed that
7,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock will be issued in 
connection with the Offering.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS: 
(a)    To reflect non-cash revenue resulting from the Company granting 
       Blockbuster naming rights to three venues for two years for no future 
       consideration as part of its agreement to acquire Blockbuster's 
       indirect 33 1/3% interest in Pavilion. 
(b)    Reflects the elimination of $570,000 of certain officers' salaries and 
       bonuses which will not be paid under the Company's new employment 
       contracts and of $907,000 of non-recurring costs incurred in connection 
       with PACE's previously planned initial public offering, which was 
       canceled. The amount of the pro forma adjustment to eliminate salaries 
       and bonuses is based on the Company's agreements with the affected 
       employees that a bonus will not be paid unless there is a significant 
       improvement in the results of the PACE acquisition. Accordingly, no 
       such bonus is reflected in the pro forma statement of operations as 
       should PACE's results be at a similar level to that in these pro forma 
       statements of operations no bonus would be paid, and the Company would 
       not be contractually obligated to pay a bonus. 
(c)    Reflects the elimination of non-recurring restricted stock compensation 
       to PACE executives. 
(d)    To eliminate PACE's income from its 33 1/3% equity investment in

       employees that a bonus will not be paid unless there is a significant 
       improvement in the results of Concert/Southern. Accordingly, no such 
       bonus is reflected in the pro forma statement of operations as should 
       Concert/Southern's results be at a similar level to that in these pro 
       forma statements of operations no bonus would be paid, and the Company 
       would not be contractually obligated to pay a bonus.

(b)    Reflects the elimination of equity loss of a non-entertainment 
       affiliated entity which was not acquired by the Company. 

G. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS 
(a)    Reflects the increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from 
       the preliminary purchase accounting treatment of the Recent 
       Acquisitions. The Company amortizes goodwill over 15 years. 
(b)    To record incremental corporate overhead charges associated with 
       headquarters personnel and general and administrative expenses that 
       management estimates will be necessary as a result of the Recent 
       Acquisitions. 
(c)    Reflects the elimination of $8,150,000 of historical interest expense. 
(d)    To reclassify Delsener/Slater's equity income in the PNC Bank Arts 
       Center venue following the acquisition of Pavilion Partners which owns 
       the other 50% equity interest in the venue. 
(e)    Represents an adjustment to the provision for their state and local 
       income taxes to reflect an approximate pro forma tax provision of 
       $3,500,000. The calculation treats all companies acquired pursuant to 
       the Recent Acquisitions as "C" Corporations. The tax provision reflects 
       the non-deductibility of approximately $17,000,000 of goodwill 
       amortization, and tax savings related to the pro forma adjustments for 
       the Financing. 
(f)    Represents the accretion on the Fifth Year Put Option issued to the 
       PACE sellers in connection with the PACE acquisition. 
(g)    To reclassify PACE's equity income in Avalon following the Avalon 
       acquisition.

   borrowings under the Credit Facility, and other debt and deferred 
   compensation costs related to the 1997 and the Recent Acquisitions.

        annual installments over 5 years contingent on the achievement of 
        certain EBITDA targets. If FAME's EBITDA (as defined in the FAME 
        Agreement) exceeds 105% of specified targets in each of the years 
        1998 through 2002, the Company is required to pay the FAME sellers

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS: 
(a)     Reflects the elimination of payments made to employees by the 
        principal owner of Don Law in connection with the sale of membership 
        interests to a third party in 1997. 
(b)     Reflects the elimination of certain officer's bonuses and wages not 
        expected to be paid under the Company's new employment contracts. The 
        amount of the pro forma adjustment to eliminate salaries and bonuses 
        is based on the Company's agreements with the affected employees that 
        a bonus will not be paid unless there is a significant improvement in 
        the results of Don Law. Accordingly, no such bonus is reflected in 
        the pro forma statement of operations as should Don Law's results be 
        at a similar level to that in these pro forma statements of 
        operations no bonus would be paid, and the Company would not be 
        contractually obligated to pay a bonus. 
(c)     The pro forma adjustments for Don Law do not reflect the impact of 
        certain new business opportunities in 1998 including an agreement to 
        provide ticketing services for the Boston Red Sox, a new long-term 
        concessions contract at Great Woods and an opportunity to sell the 
        naming rights at Harborlights Pavilion.  These opportunities are 
        expected to have a significant positive impact on Don Law's 1998 
        operating results.

NOTE TO PRO FORMA INCOME STATEMENT: 

I. Represents the Company's actual operating results for the three months 
   ended March 31, 1998. 

   EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $1,505,000 and 
   $14,006,000 for the Company on an actual basis and a pro forma basis, 
   respectively. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, other 
   income, net, equity income (loss) from investments and depreciation and 
   amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated 
   in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that EBITDA is accepted by 
   the entertainment industry as a generally recognized measure of 
   performance and is used by analysts who report publicly on the performance 
   of entertainment companies. Nevertheless, this measure should not be 
   considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net 
   income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for 
   determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity which is 
   calculated in accordance with GAAP. Cash flows from operating, investing 
   and financing activities for the Company for the three months ended March 
   31, 1998 were $9,140,000, $379,782,000 and $458,654,000, respectively.
 
   There are other adjustments that could affect EBITDA but have not been 
   reflected herein. Had such adjustment been made, Adjusted EBITDA on a pro 
   forma basis would have been approximately $15,466,000 for the three months 
   ended March 31, 1998. The adjustments include the expected cost savings in 
   connection with the Recent Acquisitions associated with the elimination of 
   duplicative staffing and general and administrative expenses of 
   $1,383,000, and include equity income from investments of $77,000. While 
   management believes that such cost savings are achievable, the Company's 
   ability to fully achieve such cost savings is subject to numerous factors, 
   certain of which may be beyond the Company's control.
 
   Corporate expenses are net of fees from Triathlon of $133,000. These fees 
   will vary, above the minimum annual level of $500,000, based on the level 
   of acquisition and financing activities of Triathlon. Sillerman 
   Communications Management Corporation ("SCMC") previously assigned its 
   rights to receive fees payable under this agreement to SFX Broadcasting. 
   Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, SFX Broadcasting 
   assigned its rights to receive such fees to the Company. Triathlon has 
   previously announced that it is exploring ways of maximizing stockholder 
   value, including possible sale to a third party. In the event that 
   Triathlon were acquired by a third party, there can be no assurance that 
   the agreement would continue for the remainder of its term. 

II.    PRO FORMA FOR THE TRANSACTIONS 

   The Company acquired PACE (including USA Motor Sports) & Pavilion, 
   Contemporary, BGP, Network, and Concert/Southern on February 25, 1998, 
   February 27, 1998, February 24, 1998, February 27, 1998, and March 4, 
   1998, respectively. The following represent the operating results of these 
   companies prior to their acquisition by the Company.

        Agreement) exceeds 105% of specified targets in each of the years 
        1998 through 2002, the Company is required to pay the FAME sellers

        certain new business opportunities in 1998 including an agreement to 
        provide ticketing services for the Boston Red Sox, a new long-term 
        concessions contract at Great Woods and an opportunity to sell the 
        naming rights at Harborlights Pavilion.  These opportunities are

NOTES TO PRO FORMA INCOME STATEMENT: 

   
I.     Represents the Company's actual operating results for the twelve months 
       ended March 31, 1998. 
       EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998 was $12,833,000 and 
       $92,866,000 for the Company on an actual basis and a pro forma basis, 
       respectively. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, 
       other income, net, equity income (loss) from investments and 
       depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of 
       performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes 
       that EBITDA is accepted by the entertainment industry as a generally 
       recognized measure of performance and is used by analysts who report 
       publicly on the performance of entertainment companies. Nevertheless, 
       this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute 
       for operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating 
       activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating 
       performance or liquidity which is calculated in accordance with GAAP. 
       Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the 
       Company for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998 were $9,838,000, 
       $430,466,000 and $511,997,000, respectively. 
       There are other adjustments that could affect EBITDA but have not been 
       reflected herein. Had such adjustments been made, Adjusted EBITDA on a 
       pro forma basis would have been approximately $104,883,000 for the 
       twelve months ended March 31, 1998. The adjustments include the 
       expected cost savings in connection with the Recent Acquisitions 
       associated with the elimination of duplicative staffing and general and 
       administrative expenses of $5,655,000, and include equity income from 
       investments of $6,362,000. While management believes that such cost 
       savings are achievable, the Company's ability to fully achieve such 
       cost savings is subject to numerous factors, certain of which may be 
       beyond the Company's control. 
       Corporate expenses are net of fees from Triathlon of $1,286,000. These 
       fees will vary, above the minimum annual level of $500,000, based on 
       the level of acquisition and financing activities of Triathlon. 
       Sillerman Communications Management Corporation ("SCMC") previously 
       assigned its rights to receive fees payable under this agreement to SFX 
       Broadcasting. Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, SFX 
       Broadcasting assigned its rights to receive such fees to the Company. 
       Triathlon has announced that it is exploring ways of maximizing 
       stockholder value, including possible sale to a third party. In the 
       event that Triathlon were acquired by a third party, there can be no 
       assurance that the agreement would continue for the remainder of its 
       term.

    bonus will not be paid unless there is a significant improvement in the 
    results of FAME. Accordingly, no such bonus is reflected in the pro forma 
    statement of operations as should FAME's results be at a similar level to 
    that in these pro forma statements of operations no bonus would be paid, 
    and the Company would not be contractually obligated to pay a bonus.

    amount of the pro forma adjustment to eliminate salaries and bonuses is 
    based on the Company's agreements with the affected employees that a 
    bonus will not be paid unless there is a significant improvement in the 
    results of EMI. Accordingly, no such bonus is reflected in the pro forma 
    statement of operations as should EMI's results be at a similar level to

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

 The following discussion of the financial condition and results of 
operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated 
financial statements and related notes thereto. The following discussion 
contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and 
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from 
those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to the 
differences are discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Prospectus. 
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any 
revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any 
future events or circumstances. 

   The performance of entertainment companies, such as the Company, is 
measured, in part, by their ability to generate EBITDA. "EBITDA" is defined 
as earnings before interest, taxes, other income, net equity income (loss) 
from investments and depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a 
measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company 
believes that EBITDA is accepted by the industry as a generally recognized 
measure of performance and is used by analysts who report publicly on the 
performance of entertainment companies. Nevertheless, this measure should not 
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net 
income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for 
determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is 
calculated in accordance with GAAP. 


    
   
   The Company's core business is the promotion and production of live 
entertainment events, most significantly for concert and other music 
performances in venues owned and/or operated by the Company and in 
third-party venues. In connection with all of its live entertainment events, 
the Company seeks to maximize related revenue streams, including the sale of 
corporate sponsorships, the sale of concessions and the merchandising of a 
broad range of products. On a pro forma basis, the Company's music businesses 
comprised approximately 67%, theater comprised approximately 13%, specialized 
motor sports comprised approximately 6% and other operations comprised 
approximately 14% of the Company's total revenues for the twelve months 
ended March 31, 1998. 
    

   Promotion of events involves booking talent, renting or providing the 
event venue, marketing the event to attract ticket buyers and providing for 
local services required in the production of the event such as security and 
stage hands. Promoters generally receive revenues from the sale of tickets 
and sponsorships. When an event is promoted at a venue owned or managed by 
the promoter, the promoter also generally receives a percentage of revenues 
from concessions, merchandising, parking and premium box seats. The Company 
earns promotion revenues principally by promoting (a) music concerts, (b) 
Touring Broadway Shows and (c) specialized motor sports events. 

   Production of events involves developing the event content, hiring 
artistic talent and managing the actual production of the event (with the 
assistance of the local promoter). Producers generally receive revenues from 
guarantees and from profit sharing agreements with promoters, a percentage of 
the promoters' ticket sales, merchandising, sponsorships, licensing and the 
exploitation of other rights (including intellectual property rights) related 
to the production. The Company earns revenues by producing (a) Touring 
Broadway Shows, (b) specialized motor events and (c) other proprietary and 
non-proprietary entertainment events. 

1997 ACQUISITIONS 

   The Company entered the live entertainment business with SFX 
Broadcasting's acquisition of Delsener/Slater, a New York-based concert 
promotion company, in January 1997 for aggregate consideration of $27.6 
million. Delsener/Slater has long-term leases or is the exclusive promoter 
for many of the major concert venues in the New York City metropolitan area, 
including the Jones Beach Amphitheater, a 14,000-seat complex located in 
Wantagh, New York, and the PNC Bank Arts Center (formerly known as the Garden 
State Arts Center), a 17,500-seat complex located in Holmdel, New Jersey. In 
March 1997, Delsener/Slater acquired, for aggregate consideration of $23.8 
million, companies which hold a 37-year lease to operate the Meadows Music 
Theater, a 25,000-seat indoor/outdoor complex located in Hartford, 
Connecticut. In June 1997, SFX Broadcasting acquired 

                               59           
<PAGE>
   
Sunshine Promotions, a concert promoter in the Midwest, and certain other 
related companies for an aggregate consideration of $57.5 million. As a 
result of the acquisition of Sunshine Promotions, the Company owns the Deer 
Creek Music Theater, a 21,000-seat complex located in Indianapolis, Indiana, 
the Polaris Amphitheater, a 20,000-seat complex located in Columbus, Ohio, 
and has a long-term lease to operate the Murat Centre, a 2,700-seat theater 
and 2,200-seat ballroom located in Indianapolis, Indiana. See "Certain 
Relationships and Related Transactions--Delsener/Slater Employment 
Agreements." 

   The cash portion of the 1997 Acquisitions was financed through capital 
contributions from SFX Broadcasting. 
    

RECENT ACQUISITIONS 

   
   In January 1998, the Company acquired Westbury Music Theater. In February 
1998, the Company acquired PACE, Pavilion Partners, Contemporary, BGP and 
Network and in March 1998, the Company acquired Concert/Southern and USA 
Motorsports. See "Business--Recent Acquisitions." 
    

 ACQUISITION OF PACE 

   
   On February 25, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital 
stock of PACE (the "PACE Acquisition"). In connection with the PACE 
Acquisition, the Company acquired 100% of Pavilion Partners, a partnership 
that owns interests in 10 venues ("Pavilion"), one-third through the 
acquisition of PACE and two-thirds through separate agreements between PACE 
and Blockbuster and between PACE and Sony (the acquisition of such two-thirds 
interest, the "Pavilion Acquisition"). The total consideration for the PACE 
Acquisition was approximately $109.5 million in cash, the repayment of 
approximately $20.6 million of debt and the issuance of 1.5 million shares of 
Class A Common Stock. The total consideration for the Pavilion Acquisition 
was approximately $90.6 million, comprised of $41.4 million in cash and the 
repayment of $43.1 million of debt and the assumption of approximately $6.1 
million of debt related to a capital lease. The purchase price was financed 
from the proceeds of the Note Offering. 

   In addition, on March 25, 1998, PACE acquired a 67% interest in certain 
assets and liabilities of USA Motorsports for an aggregate cash consideration 
of approximately $4.0 million. The remaining 33% interest is held by the 
Contemporary Group. 
    

   In connection with its acquisition of partnership interests in Lakewood 
Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia and Starplex Amphitheater in Dallas, Texas, 
PACE entered into a co-promotion agreement with its partner that contains a 
provision that purports, under certain circumstances, to require PACE to 
co-promote (and share one-half of the profits and losses) with such 
partnership certain concerts which are presented by PACE or any of its 
affiliates in another venue located in either Atlanta, Georgia or Dallas, 
Texas. However, the Company acquired an interest in Chastain Park 
Amphitheater, also in Atlanta, in the Concert Southern acquisition described 
below. The Company is currently negotiating with the third party to waive 
this restrictive provision; however, it is possible that the Company will be 
unable to obtain the waiver. In management's view, this provision will not 
materially affect the business or prospects of the Company. 

 ACQUISITION OF CONTEMPORARY 

   
   On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired Contemporary Group (the 
"Contemporary Acquisition"). The Contemporary Acquisition involved the merger 
of Contemporary International Productions Corporation with and into the 
Company, the acquisition by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company of 
substantially all of the assets, excluding certain cash and receivables, of 
the remaining members of Contemporary and the acquisition of the 50% interest 
in the Riverport Amphitheatre Joint Venture not owned by Contemporary. The 
total consideration of the Contemporary Acquisition was approximately $72.8 
million in cash, a payment for working capital of $9.9 million, and the 
issuance of 1,402,850 shares of Class A Common Stock. The purchase price was 
financed by the borrowings under the Credit Facility and with the proceeds of 
the Note Offering.

 ACQUISITION OF BGP 

   On February 24, 1998, the Company, through the Company's wholly-owned 
subsidiary, BGP Acquisition, LLC acquired all of the outstanding capital 
stock of BGP, for a total consideration of $60.8 million in cash, $12.0 
million in repayment of debt, which amount was at least equal to BGP's 
working capital (as defined in the acquisition agreement), and 562,640 shares 
of Class A Common Stock (the "BGP Acquisition"). The purchase price was 
financed from the proceeds of the Note Offering. 

 ACQUISITION OF NETWORK 

   
   On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired Network (the "Network 
Acquisition"). In the Network Acquisition, the Company acquired all of the 
outstanding capital stock of each of The Album Network, Inc. and SJS and 
purchased substantially all of the assets and properties and assumed 
substantially all of the liabilities and obligations of The Network 40, Inc. 
The total purchase price was approximately $52.0 million cash, a payment for 
working capital of $1.8 million, reimbursed seller's costs of $500,000, the 
purchase of an office building and related property for approximately $2.5 
million and the issuance of approximately 750,000 shares of Class A Common 
Stock. The purchase price is subject to increase based on Network's actual 
1998 EBITDA (as defined in the acquisition agreement) by $4.0 million if such 
EBITDA equals or exceeds $9.0 million to $14 million if EBITDA is greater 
than $11 million, and is payable in stock, or in certain circumstances in 
cash, by no later than March 20, 1999. The $2.5 million purchase of the 
office building and related property used in connection with Network's 
business was comprised of cash of $700,000 and the assumption of debt of $1.8 
million. The purchase price was financed by the borrowings under the Credit 
Facility. In connection with the Network Acquisition, the selling 
stockholders were reimbursed working capital (as defined in the acquisition 
agreement) in excess of $500,000. 
    

 ACQUISITION OF CONCERT/SOUTHERN 

   
   On March 4, 1998, the Company acquired Concert/Southern Promotions, a 
promoter of live music entertainment in the Atlanta metropolitan area, for a 
total consideration of $16.9 million (including the payments of the $1.6 
million representing the present value of a deferred purchase obligation and 
$300,000 for the working capital adjustment.) The purchase price was financed 
by the borrowings under the Credit Facility. 
    

 ACQUISITION OF WESTBURY 

   
   On January 8, 1998, the Company acquired a long-term lease for Westbury 
Music Fair, located in Westbury, New York, for an aggregate consideration of 
approximately $3.0 million and an agreement to issue 75,019 shares of Class A 
Common Stock. During the period between the closing and January 8, 2000, the 
Company has the right to repurchase all of such shares for an aggregate 
consideration of $2.0 million and the seller has the right to require the 
Company to purchase all of such shares for an aggregate consideration of 
$750,000. The purchase price was financed from the Company's cash on hand. 
    

   The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete descriptions of 
the terms of the acquisition agreements and are qualified by reference to the 
acquisition agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as exhibits and 
incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the acquisition agreements and 
the agreements related thereto, the Company, (a) under certain circumstances, 
may be required to repurchase shares of its Class A Common Stock or make 
additional payments in connection therewith, (b) has granted certain rights 
of first refusal certain of which are exercisable at 95% of the proposed 
purchase price and (c) in connection with the PACE Acquisition, has granted 
Brian Becker, the Executive Vice President, a Member of the Office of the 
Chairman, and a director of the Company, the option to acquire, after the 
second anniversary of the consummation of the PACE Acquisition, the Company's 
then existing motor sports line of business (or, if that business has 
previously been sold, the Company's then existing theatrical line of 
business) at its then fair market value. See "Risk Factors--Future Contingent 
Payments" and "--Rights to Purchase Certain Subsidiaries."

   The Recent Acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of 
accounting, and the intangible assets created in the purchase transactions 
will generally be amortized against future earnings over a 15-year period. 
The amount of amortization will be substantial and will continue to affect 
the Company's operating results in the future. These expenses, however, do 
not result in an outflow of cash by the Company and do not impact EBITDA. 

PENDING ACQUISITIONS 

   In April and May of 1998, the Company entered into agreements or letters 
of intent to acquire all of the capital stock of FAME, certain assets of Don 
Law, certain assets of Oakdale and 80% of the outstanding capital stock of 
EMI for an aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $216.1 million 
in cash, including the repayment of approximately $10.0 million in debt, and 
the issuance of 1,531,782 million shares of Class A Common Stock. See 
"Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions." 

 ACQUISITION OF FAME 

   On April 29, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of 
the outstanding capital stock of FAME (the "FAME Acquisition"). The aggregate 
purchase price for FAME is approximately $82.9 million in cash (including 
approximately $7.9 million which the Company anticipates paying in connection 
with certain taxes which FAME and the FAME sellers will be subject to) and 
1.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock. The agreement also provides for 
payments by the Company to the FAME sellers of additional amounts up to $15.0 
million in equal annual installments over 5 years contingent on the 
achievement of certain EBITDA targets. The agreement also provides for 
additional payments by the Company if FAME's EBITDA performance exceeds the 
targets by certain amounts. The additional payments are to be within 120 days 
after the end of the year to which they relate. 

 ACQUISITION OF DON LAW 

   On April 29, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain 
assets of Blackstone Entertainment, LLC (the "Don Law Acquisition"). The 
aggregate purchase price for the Don Law Acquisition is approximately $90.0 
million, including the repayment of $10.0 million in debt. The Company may, 
at its option, pay up to $16.0 million of the purchase price in 531,782 
shares of Class A Common Stock. The purchase price will be increased or 
decreased, as applicable, to the extent that Don Law's Net Working Capital 
(as defined in the acquisition agreement) is positive or negative at the 
closing. The Company has made a $100,000 non-refundable deposit in connection 
with the Don Law Acquisition. 

 ACQUISITION OF AVALON 

   On March 6 and 9, 1998, the Company entered into two binding letters of

out of pocket costs and expenses incurred with the development of the 
Camarillo Creek Amphitheater (the "Avalon Acquisition''). The Company may also
be obligated to pay an additional $1.0 million to the Avalon sellers if the

commenced. 

 ACQUISITION OF OAKDALE 

   On April 22, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 
certain assets of Oakdale for a purchase price of $11.9 million in cash (the 
"Oakdale Acquisition"). At the closing the Company will also make a 
non-recourse loan to the Oakdale sellers in the amount of $11.3 million, a 
portion of which will be used to repay outstanding indebtedness. In addition, 
if the combined EBITDA (as defined in the acquisition agreement) for the 
Oakdale Theater and Meadows exceeds $5.5 million in 1999, the Company will be 
obligated to pay the amount of such excess multiplied by a factor of between 
5.0 to 5.8. 

 ACQUISITION OF EMI 

   On May 1, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an 80% 
equity interest in EMI for $8.5 million in cash (the "EMI Acquisition"). In

the EMI sellers in an amount equal to twenty percent of certain taxes 
incurred by the EMI sellers in connection with the transaction. The Company 
expects that the amount of the loan will be approximately $750,000. 

   The Pending Acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method 
of accounting and intangible assets created in the purchase transaction will 
generally be amortized against future earnings over a fifteen-year period. 
The amount of such amortization will be substantial and will continue to 
affect the Company's operating results in the future. These expenses, 
however, do not result in an outflow of cash by the Company and do not impact 
EBITDA. 

   The Company expects to complete all of the Pending Acquisitions as soon as 
practicable after the consummation of the Offering. The Company anticipates 
that it will consummate all of the Pending Acquisitions in the second quarter 
of 1998. However, the timing and completion of the Pending Acquisitions are 
subject to a number of conditions, certain of which are beyond the Company's 
control, and there can be no assurance that any of the Pending Acquisitions 
will be consummated during such periods, on the terms described herein, or at 
all. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Pending Acquisitions" and 
"Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions." 
    

THE SPIN-OFF AND THE SFX MERGER 

   
   SFX Broadcasting was formed in 1992 principally to acquire and operate 
radio broadcasting stations. In August 1997, SFX Broadcasting agreed to merge 
with a subsidiary of SFX Buyer, and to Spin-Off the Company to certain 
stockholders of SFX Broadcasting on a pro rata basis. The Spin-Off was 
consummated on April 27, 1998. The Spin-Off separated the entertainment 
business from SFX Broadcasting's radio broadcasting business and will enable 
SFX Buyer to acquire only SFX Broadcasting's radio broadcasting business in 
the SFX Merger. SFX Broadcasting has indicated that it expects the SFX Merger 
to be completed in the second quarter of 1998. 

   Prior to the Spin-Off, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, SFX 
Broadcasting contributed to the Company all of its assets relating to the 
entertainment business. In addition, the Company, SFX Broadcasting and SFX 
Buyer also entered into the Tax Sharing Agreement and the Employee Benefits 
Agreement. Each of the agreements provides for certain indemnification 
obligations by the Company and SFX Broadcasting. Pursuant to the Distribution 
Agreement, at the time of the SFX Merger, if Working Capital is negative, the 
Company must pay the amount of the shortfall to SFX Broadcasting, and if 
positive SFX Broadcasting must pay such Working Capital to the Company. 
Copies of the Distribution Agreement (containing a description of the working 
capital calculation), Tax Sharing Agreement and Employee Benefits Agreement 
have been filed as exhibits to the Company's Registration Statement on Form 
S-1 (File No. 333-50079). See "Risk Factors--Future Contingent Payments," and 
"--Risks Related to the Pending Acquisitions," "--Liquidity and Capital 
Resources" and "Additional Information." 

   In the Spin-Off, shares of Common Stock were distributed pro rata to 
holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting's Class A common 
stock, Class B common stock, Series D preferred stock and interests in SFX 
Broadcasting's director deferred stock ownership plan, and the remaining 
shares were placed in escrow to be issued upon the exercise of certain 
warrants of SFX Broadcasting. See "Certain Relationships and Related 
Transactions--Employment Agreements."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS 

   The Company has indicated to Marquee, a publicly-traded company, its 
potential interest in acquiring Marquee. Marquee provides integrated event 
management, television production, marketing and consulting services in the 
sports, news and entertainment industries. In addition, Marquee represents
various entertainers, including athletes in team sports, and books tours 
and appearances for a variety of entertainers. Mr. Sillerman, the Executive 
Chairman of the Company, has an aggregate equity interest of approximately 
9.1% in Marquee and is the chairman of its board of directors, and Mr. Tytel, 
a Director and Executive Vice President of the Company, is one of its 
directors. The Company has been informed that Marquee has formed a committee 
of independent directors to consider the proposal, as well as other strategic 
alternatives. However, the Company has not entered into any agreement, 
arrangement or understanding with Marquee, and there can be no assurance that 
the Company will enter into a definitive agreement with Marquee. See "Risk 
Factors--Potential Conflicts of Interest" and "--Expansion Strategy; Need for 
Additional Funds."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

 GENERAL 

   The Company's operations consist primarily of (a) concert promotion and 
venue operation, (b) the promotion and production of theatrical events, 
particularly Touring Broadway Shows, and (c) the promotion and production of 
motor sports events. The Company and the Acquired Businesses also engage in 
various other activities ancillary to their live entertainment businesses. 

   
   On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Transactions, the Pending 
Acquisitions and the Financing, the Company's revenues for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, would have been 
$779.0 million and $187.3 million, respectively. 

   On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Transactions, the Pending 
Acquisitions and the Financing, operating expenses for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, would have been 
$688.4 million and $172.4 million, respectively. Pro forma operating expenses 
do not reflect the Company's expectation that it will be able to achieve 
substantial economies of scale upon completion of the Recent Acquisitions and 
reductions in operating expenses as a result of the elimination of 
duplicative staffing and general and administrative expenses. 

   On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Transactions, the Pending 
Acquisitions and the Financing, the Company's net loss for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, would have been 
$22.8 million and $32.2 million, respectively. Net loss per share, after 
accretion of the Fifth Year Put Option issued in connection with the PACE 
Acquisition, would have been $0.92 and $1.17 million for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 and three months ended March 31, 1998, respectively. The 
pro forma operating results include the impact of significant non-cash 
amortization expense arising from the Recent Acquisitions and interest 
expense relating to the Financing. 

   As of March 31, 1998, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the 
Financing, Spin-Off and SFX Merger, the Company had net current assets of 
$167.0 million (included in net current assets is cash and cash equivalents 
of $105.7 million), net property and equipment (principally concert venues) 
of $243.8 million, net intangible assets of $695.2 million and long-term debt 
of $628.0 million. The long-term debt is comprised of $350.0 million of 
Notes, borrowings of $235.0 million under the Credit Facility and other debt 
obligations of $40.3 million. 
    

 CONCERT PROMOTION/VENUE OPERATION 

   The Company's concert promotion and venue operation business consist 
primarily of the promotion of concerts and operation of venues primarily for 
use in the presentation of musical events. The Company's primary source of 
revenues from its concert promotion activities is from ticket sales at events 
promoted by the Company. As a venue operator, the Company's primary sources 
of revenue are sponsorships, concessions, parking and other ancillary 
services, derived principally from events promoted by the Company. 

   Revenue from ticket sales is affected primarily by the number of events 
the Company promotes, the average ticket price and the number of tickets 
sold. The average ticket price depends on the popularity of the artist whom 
the Company is promoting, the size and type of venue and the general economic 
conditions and consumer tastes in the market where the event is being held. 
Revenue and margins are also affected significantly by the type of contract 
entered into with the artist or the artist's representative. Generally, the 
promoter or venue operator will agree to pay the artist the greater of a 
minimum guarantee or a profit sharing payment based on ticket revenue, less 
certain show expenses. The promoter or venue operator assumes the financial 
risk of ticket sales and is responsible for local production and advertising 
of the event. However, in certain instances, the promoter agrees to accept a 
fixed fee from the artist for its services, and the artist assumes all 
financial risk. When the promoter or venue operator assumes the financial 
risk, all revenue and expenses associated with the event are recorded. When 
the artist assumes the risk, only the fee is recorded. As a result, operating 
margins would be significantly greater for fee-based events as opposed to 
events for which the Company assumes the risk of ticket sales, although 
profits per event would tend to be lower. Operating margins can vary from 
period to period. 

                               64           
<PAGE>
   The Company's most significant operating expenses are talent fees, 
production costs, venue operating expenses (including rent), advertising 
costs and insurance expense. The booking of talent in the concert promotion 
business generally involves contracts for limited engagements, often 
involving a small number of performances. Talent fees depend primarily on the 
popularity of the artist, the ticket price that the artist can command at a 
particular venue and the expected level of ticket sales. Production costs and 
venue operating expenses have substantial fixed cost components and lesser 
variable costs primarily related to expected attendance. 

 THEATRICAL 

   
   The Company's theatrical operations are directed mainly towards the 
promotion and production of Touring Broadway Shows, which generate revenues 
primarily from ticket sales and sponsorships. The Company may also 
participate in ancillary revenues, such as concessions and merchandise sales, 
depending on its agreement with a particular local promoter/venue operator. 
Revenue from ticket sales is primarily affected by the popularity of the 
production and the general economic conditions and consumer tastes in the 
particular market and venue where the production is presented. In order to 
reduce its dependency on the success of any single touring production, the 
Company sells advance annual subscriptions that provide the purchaser with 
tickets for all of the shows that the Company intends to tour in the 
particular market during the touring season. For the year ended December 31, 
1997, on a pro forma basis approximately 34% of ticket sales for Touring 
Broadway Shows presented by the Company were sold through advance annual 
subscriptions. Subscription related revenues received prior to the event date 
are initially recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue; after the 
event occurs, they are recorded on the statement of operations as gross 
revenue. Expenses are capitalized on the balance sheet as prepaid expenses 
until the event occurs. Subscriptions for Touring Broadway Shows typically 
cover approximately two-thirds of the Company's break-even cost point for 
those shows. 
    

   Principal operating expenses related to touring shows include talent, 
rent, advertising and royalties. Talent costs are generally fixed once a 
production is cast. Rent and advertising expense may be either fixed or 
variable based on the arrangement with the particular local promoter/venue 
operator. Royalties are generally paid as a percentage of gross ticket sales. 

   The Company also makes minority equity investments in original Broadway 
productions, principally as a means to obtain rights for touring shows, and 
in certain Touring Broadway Shows. These investments are accounted for using 
either the equity method or the cost method of accounting, based on the 
relative size of the investment. The Company monitors the recoverability of 
these investments on a regular basis, and the Company may be required to take 
write-offs if the original production closes or if the Company determines 
that the production will not recoup the investment. The timing of any 
write-off could adversely affect operating results in a particular quarter. 

 MOTOR SPORTS 

   The Company's motor sports activities consist principally of the promotion 
and production of specialized motor sports, which generate revenues primarily 
from ticket sales and sponsorships, as well as merchandising and video rights 
associated with producing motor sports events. Ticket prices for these events 
are generally lower than for theatrical or music concert events, generally 
ranging from $5 to $30 in 1996. Revenue from these sources is primarily 
affected by the type of event and the general economic conditions and 
consumer tastes in the particular markets and venues where the events are 
presented. Event-related revenues received prior to the event date are 
initially recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue; after the event 
occurs, they are recorded on the statement of operations as gross revenue. 
Expenses are capitalized on the balance sheet as prepaid expenses until the 
event occurs. 

   Operating expenses associated with motor sports activities include talent, 
rent, track preparation costs, security and advertising. These operating 
expenses are generally fixed costs that vary based on the type of event and 
venue where the event is held. 

   Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to sell either 
its motor sports or theatrical lines of business. See "Risk Factors--Rights 
to Purchase Certain Subsidiaries."

 REPRESENTATION OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES 

   FAME's talent representation activities consist principally of the 
representation of team sports athletes, primarily in the National Basketball 
Association, in player contract and endorsement negotiations. FAME also 
provides certain investment advisory services to its clients through an 
affiliate. FAME typically receives a percentage of monies earned by a player, 
generally approximately 4% of a player's sports contract and typically from 
20% to 25% of endorsement deals. Revenue from these sources is recognized as 
the player receives his salary or endorsement payments based on the terms of 
the negotiated agreement. Revenue from these sources is dependent upon a 
number of variables, many of which are outside the Company's control, 
including a player's skill, health, public appeal and the appeal of the sport 
in which the player participates. Principal operating expenses include 
salaries, wages and travel and entertainment expenses. See "Risk 
Factors--Risks Related to the Representation of Athletes." 
    

 OTHER BUSINESSES 

   The Company's other principal businesses include (a) the production and 
distribution of radio industry trade magazines, (b) the production of radio 
programming content and show-prep material and (c) the provision of radio air 
play and music retail research services. The primary sources of revenues from 
these activities include (a) the sale of advertising space in its 
publications and the sale of advertising time on radio stations that carry 
its syndicated shows, (b) subscription fees for its trade publications and 
(c) subscription fees for access to its database of radio play list and 
audience data. Revenues generally vary based on the overall advertising 
environment and competition. 

   The Company also provides marketing and consulting services pursuant to 
contracts with individual clients for specific projects. Revenues from and 
costs related to these services vary based on the type of service being 
provided and the incremental associated costs. 

 SEASONALITY 

   
   The Company's operations and revenues have been largely seasonal in 
nature, with generally higher revenue generated in the second and third 
quarters of the year. For example, on a pro forma basis for the 1997 
Acquisitions, the Company generated approximately 68% of its revenues in the 
second and third quarters for the twelve months ended December 31, 1997. The 
Company's outdoor venues are primarily utilized in the summer months and do 
not generate substantial revenue in the late fall, winter and early spring. 
Similarly, the musical concerts that the Company promotes largely occur in 
the second and third quarters. To the extent that the Company's entertainment 
marketing and consulting relate to musical concerts, they also predominantly 
generate revenues in the second and third quarters. Therefore, the 
seasonality of the Company's business causes (and, upon consummation of the 
Pending Acquisitions, will probably continue to cause) a significant 
variation in the Company's quarterly operating results. These variations in 
demand could have a material adverse effect on the timing of the Company's 
cash flows and, therefore, on its ability to service its obligations with 
respect to its indebtedness. However, the Company believes that this 
variation may be somewhat offset with the acquisition of typically non-summer 
seasonal businesses in the Recent Acquisitions, such as motor sports (which 
is winter-seasonal) and Touring Broadway Shows (which typically tour between 
September and May). 

 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 
31, 1997 

   The Company's revenue increased by $53.2 million to $61.0 million for the 
three months ended March 1998, compared to $7.8 million for three months 
ended March 31, 1997, as a result of the acquisitions of Sunshine and Meadows 
in 1997 and the Recent Acquisitions. On a pro forma basis after giving effect 
to the Transactions, the pending Acquisitions and the Financing, revenue for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998 would have been $187.3 million. 

   Operating expenses increased by $50.5 million to $58.2 million for the 
three month period ended March 31, 1998, compared to $7.7 million for three 
months ended March 31, 1997, primarily as a result 
    

                               66           

<PAGE>
   
of the acquisition of Sunshine and Meadows in 1997 and the Recent 
Acquisitions. On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Transactions, 
the Pending Acquisitions and the Financing, operating expenses would have 
been $172.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1998. 

   Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $4.4 million for the 
three month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to $660,000 for the three 
month period ended March 31, 1997, due to the inclusion of depreciation and 
amortization expense related to the acquisitions of Sunshine and Meadows in 
1997 and the Recent Acquisitions. The Company recorded the fixed assets the 
these acquisitions at fair value and recorded intangible asset equal to the 
excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets, 
which are being amortized over a 15 year period. 

   Corporate expenses were $1.3 million for the three month period ended 
March 31, 1998, net of $133,000 fees received from Triathlon, compared to 
$858,000 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, net of Triathlon 
fees of $651,000. The fees receivable from Triathlon are based on consulting 
services provided by or on behalf of Sillerman Communications Management 
Corporation, a private investment company in which Messrs. Sillerman and 
Tytel have economic interests, that makes investments in and provides 
financial consulting services to companies engaged in the music business 
("SCMC"). The fees will fluctuate (above the minimum annual fee of $500,000) 
based on the level of acquisition financing activities of Triathlon. SCMC 
previously assigned its rights to receive fees payable from Triathlon to SFX 
Broadcasting, and SFX Broadcasting will assign its rights to receive the fees 
to the Company, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. Triathlon has 
announced that it is exploring ways of maximizing stockholder value, 
including possible sale to a third party. If Triathlon is acquired by a third 
party, it is possible that the consulting fees would not continue for the 
remainder of the agreement's term. 

   Non-recurring and unusual charges relating to the Spin-Off included 
$16.6 million of consent fees and $1.8 million of legal, accounting and other 
costs. 

   The operating loss was $2.9 million for the three month period ended March 
31, 1998, compared to a loss of $1.5 million for the three months March 31, 
1997, due to the results discussed above. 

   Interest expense, net of investment income, was $5.9 million in the three 
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $77,000 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1997, primarily as a result of assumption of additional debt 
related to the Recent Acquisitions and the debt assumed in connection with 
Meadows and Sunshine acquisitions. 

   Equity income in unconsolidated subsidiaries were $445,000 for the three 
months March 31, 1998 as a result of Recent Acquisitions. 

   Income tax expense was $500,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 
1998. 

   The Company's net loss increased to $27.3 million for the three month 
period ended March 31, 1998, as compared to a net loss of $1.5 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1997, due to the factors discussed above. 

   EBITDA increased to $1.5 million for the three month period ended March 
31, 1998, compared to negative $807,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1997, primarily as a result of the 1997 and Recent Acquisitions. 
    

 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 

   
   The Company's concert promotion revenue increased by 91% to $96.1 million 
for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $50.4 million for the year 
ended December 31, 1996, as a result of the acquisitions of Sunshine 
Promotions and Meadows, which increased concert promotion revenue by $45.5 
million. On a pro forma basis, assuming the acquisitions had been completed 
as of January 1, 1997, revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997 would 
have been $110.4 million. 

   Concert promotion operating expenses increased by 65% to $83.4 million for 
the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $50.7 million for year ended 
December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Sunshine 
Promotions and the Meadows, which increased concert operating expenses 
revenue by $37.1 million, which was offset in part by decreased officer 
salary expense paid to 
    

                               67           
<PAGE>
   
the former owners of Delsener/Slater. On a pro forma basis, assuming that 
those acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 1997, operating 
expenses would have been $96.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. 

   Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $5.4 million for the 
year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $747,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1996, due to the inclusion of $2.6 million of depreciation and 
amortization expense related to the acquisitions of Sunshine Promotions and 
Meadows and the additional depreciation and amortization recorded in 1997 
related to the purchase of Delsener/Slater on January 2, 1997. In 1997, the 
Company recorded the fixed assets of Delsener/Slater at fair value and 
recorded an intangible asset equal to the excess of purchase price over the 
fair value of net tangible assets of Delsener/Slater, which was amortized 
over a 15 year period. 
    

   Corporate expenses were $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, 
net of $1.8 million in fees received from Triathlon, compared to zero for the 
year ended December 31, 1996. These expenses represent the incremental costs 
of operating the Company's corporate offices, and therefore did not exist in 
1996. The fees receivable from Triathlon are based on consulting services 
provided by or on behalf of SCMC, a private investment company in which 
Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel have economic interests, that makes investments 
in and provides financial consulting services to companies engaged in the 
media business. The fees will fluctuate (above the minimum annual fee of 
$500,000) based on the level of acquisition and financing activities of 
Triathlon. SCMC previously assigned its rights to receive fees payable from 
Triathlon to SFX Broadcasting, and SFX Broadcasting will assign its rights to 
receive the fees to the Company, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. 
Triathlon has previously announced that it is exploring ways of maximizing 
stockholder value, including a possible sale to a third party. If Triathlon 
is acquired by a third party, it is possible that the consulting fees would 
not continue for the remainder of the agreement's term. See "Certain 
Relationships and Related Transactions--Triathlon Fees." 

   Operating income was $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, 
compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, due 
to the results discussed above. 

   Interest expense, net of investment income, was $1.3 million in the year 
ended December 31, 1997, compared to net interest income of $138,000 for the 
year ended December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of assumption of 
additional debt related to the acquisitions of the Meadows Music Theater and 
Sunshine Promotions. 

   Equity income in unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased 3% to $509,000 from 
$524,000. 

   Income tax expense increased to $490,000 for the year ended December 31, 
1997, compared to $106,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, primarily as 
a result of higher operating income. 

   The Company's net income increased to $3.8 million for the year ended 
December 31, 1997, as compared to a net loss of $515,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1996, due to the factors discussed above. 

   EBITDA increased to $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, 
compared to a negative $324,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, as a 
result of the 1997 Acquisitions, the reduction in officers' salary expense 
and improved operating results. 

 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 

   The Company's concert promotion revenue increased by 5.9% to $50.4 million 
for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $47.6 million for the year 
ended December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of an increase in concerts 
promoted and an increase in ticket prices. 

   Concert promotion operating expenses increased by 7.2% to $50.6 million 
for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $47.2 million for the year 
ended December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of an increase in concert 
activity. 

   Depreciation and amortization expense decreased slightly to $747,000 for 
the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $750,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1995. 

                               68           
<PAGE>
   The Company's operating loss was $1.1 million for the year ended December 
31, 1996, compared to an operating loss of $362,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1995, due to the results discussed above. 

   Interest income, net of interest expense, increased by 306% to $138,000 
for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $34,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1995. 

   Equity income in unconsolidated subsidiaries increased 8% to $524,000 from 
$488,000, primarily as result of the investment in the PNC Bank Arts Center, 
offset by lower income from the Company's other equity investments. 

   The Company's state and local income tax expense increased to $106,000 for 
the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $13,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1995. This increase was primarily the result of the higher 
operating income. 

   The Company's net loss was $515,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, 
compared to net income of $147,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, due 
to the factors discussed above. 

   EBITDA was a negative $324,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, 
compared to $388,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, primarily as a 
result of higher officers' salary expense partially offset by lower general 
and administrative expenses. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

   
   The Company's principal need for funds has been for acquisitions, interest 
expense, working capital needs, to make certain payments in connection with 
the Spin-Off and, to a lesser extent, capital expenditures. The Company 
anticipates that its principal sources of funds will be the proceeds from the 
Financing, remaining proceeds from the Note Offering, borrowings under the 
Credit Facility and cash flows from operations. 
    

 HISTORICAL CASH FLOWS 

   
   Net cash provided by operations was $9.1 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $307,000 for the three months ended March 
31, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to changes in working 
capital. 

   Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 was $379.8 million as compared to $22.6 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of the Recent 
Acquisitions. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company 
completed the acquisition of Delsener/Slater. 

   Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 
31, 1998 was $458.7 million as compared to $24.9 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1997. During 1998, the Company completed the issuance of the 
Notes for $350.0 million and borrowed $150.0 under the Credit Facility, 
offset by Spin-Off related payments of $17.1 million and the payment of debt 
issuance costs of $16.9 million. 

 PENDING ACQUISITIONS 

   The aggregate consideration in the Pending Acquisitions is expected to 
consist of approximately $216.1 million (including the repayment of 
approximately $10 million in debt) and 1,531,782 shares of Class A Common 
Stock. In addition, the Company expects to incur approximately $6.0 million
in fees and expenses related to the Pending Acquisitions. In addition, the 
agreements relating to the Pending Acquisitions provide for future contingent 
payments under certain circumstances. The Company has also placed a deposit in 
connection with the Pending Acquisitions of $100,000, which will be applied 
against the applicable purchase price at closing. In addition, the agreements 
relating to the Pending Acquisitions provide for certain future contingent 
payments. See "--Future Contingent Payments" and "--Pending Acquisitions." 

   The 1,531,782 shares to be issued in connection with acquisitions of FAME 
and Don Law were not registered under the Securities Act or state securities 
laws, as may have been required. The Company has filed a registration 
statement in order to make a rescission offer with respect to such 
transactions which could result in the unwinding of all or a portion of the 
FAME and/or Don Law acquisitions. The Company does not expect the sellers to 
accept such rescission offer.

   The timing and completion of the Pending Acquisitions is subject to a 
number of closing conditions certain of which are beyond the control of the 
Company. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to complete 
any of the Pending Acquisitions on the terms described or at all, or that the 
Company will have sufficient funds available to make any of the contingent 
payments described above should they come due. See "Agreements Related to the 
Pending Acquisitions." 
    

 FUTURE CONTINGENT PAYMENTS 

   
   Certain of the agreements relating to the Recent Acquisitions provide for 
purchase price adjustments and other future contingent payments under certain 
circumstances. The PACE acquisition agreement provides that each PACE seller 
will have an option, exercisable for 90 days after the fifth anniversary of 
the closing of the PACE acquisition, to require the Company to repurchase up 
to 500,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock received by that seller for 
$33.00 in cash per share (an aggregate of up to $1.5 million). Pursuant to 
the terms of the Becker Employment Agreement (as defined herein), during the 
period between December 12, 1999 and December 27, 1999, Mr. Becker, an 
Executive Vice President, Director and a Member of the Office of the Chairman 
of the Company, will have the option to, among other things, require the 
Company to purchase any stock or portion thereof (including vested and 
unvested options) granted to him by the Company and/or pay him an amount 
equal to the present value of the compensation payable during the remaining 
term of his employment agreement. See "Management--Employment Agreements and 
Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors." Moreover, pursuant to the 
Contemporary acquisition agreement, if the average trading price of the 
1,402,850 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in the Contemporary 
acquisition is less than $13.33 during the twenty days prior to the second 
anniversary of the Contemporary acquisition, the Company will be required to 
pay one-half of such difference for each share held by the sellers of 
Contemporary on such date. Pursuant to the Network acquisition agreement, the 
Company has agreed to increase the purchase price for Network based on 
Network's actual 1998 EBITDA (as defined in the acquisition agreement) as 
follows: (a) by $4.0 million if the 1998 EBITDA equals or exceeds $9.0 
million; (b) by an additional $4 for each $1 of additional 1998 EBITDA 
between $9.0 million and $10.0 million; and (c) by an additional $6 for each 
$1 of additional 1998 EBITDA between $10.0 million and $11.0 million. This 
contingent consideration of up to $14.0 million is payable in shares of Class 
A Common Stock or, in certain circumstances, in cash by no later than March 
20, 1999. No assurance can be given that the Company will have sufficient 
cash or other available sources of capital to make any or all of the future 
or contingent payments described above. 

   In addition, certain of the agreements relating to the Pending 
Acquisitions provide for future contingent payments under certain 
circumstances. Pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of FAME, 
the Company is obligated to pay to the FAME sellers additional amounts up to 
$15.0 million in equal annual installments over five years contingent on the 
achievement by FAME of certain EBITDA targets. The FAME agreement also 
provides for additional payments by the Company to the FAME sellers if FAME's 
EBITDA performance exceed the targets by certain amounts. Futhermore, if the 
Company disposes of all or substantially all of the assets or voting 
interests of FAME during the five years following the closing of the FAME 
acquisition, certain payments may become due to the FAME sellers out of the 
proceeds of such sale. See "Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions." 
In addition, pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition certain 
assets of Oakdale, if the combined EBITDA (as defined in the Oakdale 
acquisition agreement) of the Oakdale Music Theater and Meadows exceeds $5.5 
million in 1999, the Company will be obligated to pay the Oakdale sellers 
between 5.0 to 5.8 times the amount of such excess. See "Risk Factors--Future 
Contingent Payments." 
    

 FUTURE ACQUISITIONS 

   
   The Company is in the process of negotiating certain additional 
acquisitions in the live entertainment business and related businesses, 
however, it has not yet entered into any definitive agreements with respect 
to such acquisitions and there can be no assurance that it will do so or have 
the necessary resources to consummate any of such acquisitions. See "--Recent
Developments" and "Risk Factors--Expansion Strategy; Need for Additional 
Funds."

 SPIN-OFF 

   
   Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company is responsible for 
certain taxes of SFX Broadcasting, including taxes imposed with respect to 
income generated by the Company for the periods prior to the Spin-Off and 
taxes resulting from gain recognized in the Spin-Off. The Company will be 
allowed to offset any gain or income by the net operating losses of SFX 
Broadcasting (including net operating losses generated in the current year 
prior to the Spin-Off) which are available to offset such gain or income. The 
Company believes that the amount of taxes that it will be required to pay in 
connection with the Spin-Off will be determined by reference to the average 
of the high and low sales price of the Class A Common Stock on April 27, 1998 
(the date of the distribution of Common Stock pursuant to the Spin-Off). 
Increases or decreases in the value of the Common Stock subsequent to such 
date will not affect the tax liability. The average of the high and low sales 
price of the Class A Common Stock on April 27, 1998 was $30.50 per share, and 
Management estimates that the Company will be required to pay approximately 
$120 million pursuant to such indemnification obligation. Most of the tax 
liability relates to certain deferred intercompany transactions creating 
taxable income for the Company. Management believes that these deferred 
intercompany transactions will give rise to additional tax basis which will 
be available to offset future taxable income of the Company. Management's 
estimates of the amount of the indemnity payment and additional taxable basis 
are based on certain assumptions which management believes are reasonable. 
However, upon completion of the relevant tax forms, including any potential 
audits, such assumptions could be modified in a manner which would result in 
a significant variance in the actual amount of the tax indemnity.  The Company 
intends to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to
make such payment and expects that such payment will be due on or about 
June 15, 1998. Such payment will not result in any corresponding increase in 
the Company's assets or cash flows and, therefore, the purchasers of Class A 
Common Stock in the Offering will experience substantial dilution. For a more 
complete description of the tax indemnification obligations, see the Tax 
Sharing Agreement filed as an exhibit hereto. See "Risk Factors--Future 
Contingent Payments" and "--Dilution," "Use of Proceeds" and "Additional 
Information." 

   The Company also incurred approximately $18.0 million in fees and expenses 
in connection with the Spin-Off which the Company will fund from its cash on 
hand. In addition, pursuant to the SFX Merger Agreement, the Company has 
agreed to assume SFX Broadcasting's obligations under the employment 
agreements of certain employees and senior management, including the 
obligation to make change of control payments to Messrs. Sillerman, Ferrel 
and Benson aggregating approximately $3.3 million, $1.5 million and $0.2 
million, respectively. The assumed obligations will also include the duty to 
indemnify Messrs. Sillerman and Ferrel for one-half of any excise taxes that 
may be assessed against them in connection with the change of control 
payments. It is also anticipated that Mr. Sillerman's employment agreement 
with the Company will provide for certain indemnities relating to the SFX 
Merger. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Assumption of 
Employment Agreements; Certain Change of Control Payments" and 
"--Indemnification of Mr. Sillerman." In addition, pursuant to the 
Distribution Agreement, the Company will be required to indemnify SFX 
Broadcasting and each of its directors, officers and employees for any losses 
relating to the Company's assets and liabilities. 

   In addition, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company will 
assume certain obligations of SFX Broadcasting, including two real estate 
leases on its executive offices. Such leases provide for annual rent of 
approximately $1.4 million. 
    

 WORKING CAPITAL 

   
   As required by the Distribution Agreement, SFX Broadcasting contributed to 
the Company all of its concert and other live entertainment assets. At that 
time, the Company assumed all of SFX Broadcasting's liabilities relating to 
the live entertainment businesses, along with certain other liabilities. At 
the time of the SFX Merger, if Working Capital is negative, then the Company 
must pay the amount of the shortfall to SFX Broadcasting. If positive, SFX 
Broadcasting must pay such Working Capital to the Company. As of March 31, 
1998, the Company estimates that Working Capital to be paid by SFX 
Broadcasting to the 
    

                               71           

<PAGE>
   
Company would have been approximately $3.3 million. The actual amount of 
Working Capital as of the SFX Merger will be a function of, among other 
things, the operating results of SFX Broadcasting through the date of the SFX 
Merger, the actual date of the closing of the SFX Merger and the actual cost 
of consummating the SFX Merger and related transactions. For a more complete 
description of the calculation of the Working Capital, see the Distribution 
Agreement filed as an exhibit hereto. See "Additional Information." In 
February 1998, the Company reimbursed SFX Broadcasting approximately $25.3 
million for consent fees, capital expenditures and other acquisition related 
fees previously funded by SFX Broadcasting. See "Risk Factors--Future 
Contingent Payments." 
    

 INTEREST ON NOTES AND BORROWINGS UNDER THE CREDIT FACILITY 
   
   On February 11, 1998, the Company completed the private placement of 
$350.0 million of 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes. Interest is payable on 
the Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. In addition, the Company 
borrowed $150.0 million under the Credit Facility at an interest rate of 
approximately 8.07%. The Company expects to borrow approximately $85.0 million
under the Credit Facility pursuant to the Financing. See "Use of Proceeds," 
"--Sources of Liquidity" and "Description of Indebtedness."
    
   The degree to which the Company is leveraged will have material 
consequences to the Company. The Company's ability to obtain additional 
financing in the future for acquisitions, working capital, capital 
expenditures, general corporate or other purposes are subject to the 
covenants contained in the instruments governing its indebtedness. A 
substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from operations will be 
required to be used to pay principal and interest on its debt and will not be 
available for other purposes. The Indenture and the credit agreement with 
respect to the Credit Facility (the "Credit Agreement") contain restrictive 
financial and operating covenants, and the failure by the Company to comply 
with those covenants would result in an event of default under the applicable 
instruments, which in turn would permit acceleration of the debt under the 
instruments (and in some cases acceleration of debt under other instruments 
that contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions). The Company 
will be more vulnerable to economic downturns and could also be limited in 
its ability to withstand competitive pressures and in its flexibility in 
reacting to changes in its industry and general economic conditions. These 
consequences are not exhaustive; the Company's indebtedness could also have 
other adverse consequences. See "Risk Factors--Substantial Leverage." 

   The Company's ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, to pay 
interest on or to refinance its debt depends on its future financial 
performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, 
financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its 
control, as well as the success of the businesses to be acquired and the 
integration of these businesses into the Company's operations. There can be 
no assurance that the Company will be able to make planned borrowings 
(including under the Credit Facility), that the Company's business will 
generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will 
be available in an amount to enable the Company to service its debt and to 
make necessary capital or other expenditures. The Company may be required to 
refinance a portion of the principal amount of its indebtedness prior to 
their respective maturities. There can be no assurance that the Company will 
be able to raise additional capital through the sale of securities, the 
disposition of assets or otherwise for any refinancing. See "Risk Factors." 

 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES 

   
   Capital expenditures totaled $11.8 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 and $2.1 million in the year ended December 31, 1997 and $11.8 
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Capital expenditures in 1997
included cash paid for expansion and renovations at the Jones Beach 
Amphitheater, improvements at other venues and computer and other operating 
equipment. The Company expects that capital expenditures in fiscal year 1998 
will be substantially higher than current levels, due to the planned capital 
expenditures of approximately $29.0 million for 1998 at existing venues 
(including $17.0 million for the expansion and renovation of the Jones Beach 
Amphitheater and $12.0 million for the expansion and renovation of the PNC Bank
Arts Center) and capital expenditures requirements of the Acquired Businesses, 
including $12.0 million for the construction of a new amphitheater serving the
Seattle, 
    

                               72           
<PAGE>
   
Washington market. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had paid approximately
$9.0 million of the $41.0 million which it expects to pay in 1998. The 
Company estimates that, of the remaining capital expenditures of approximately 
$32.0 million, approximately $25.0 million will consist of major projects 
and approximately $7.0 million will consist of other capital expenditures. 
The Company expects to fund such capital expenditures from its cash on hand. 
    

 FUTURE CHARGES TO EARNINGS 

   
   The Company anticipates entering into or amending employment agreements 
with certain of its executive officers before the Spin-Off. In connection 
with these agreements, the Company sold to the executive officers an 
aggregate of 650,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 190,000 shares of 
Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. The Company will 
record a non-cash compensation charge in the second quarter of approximately 
$24.0 million in connection with this sale. In addition, the Company will 
recognize a charge to earnings of approximately $7.5 million in the second 
quarter associated with the Meadows Repurchase resulting from 247,177 shares 
of Class A Common Stock issued to Mr. Sillerman in connection with the 
Meadows Repurchase. The amount of such charge would be equal to the fair 
value of Class A Common Stock to be received by Mr. Sillerman at the time of 
the Meadows Repurchase. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--
Meadows Repurchase."

   Further, the Board, on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, 
also has approved the issuance of certain "below market" stock options 
exercisable for an aggregate of 252,500 shares of Class A Common Stock. These 
options will vest over three years and will have an exercise price of $5.50 per
share. The Company will record non-cash compensation charges of approximately 
$2.0 million annually over the three-year exercise period. See "Management--
Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors" and
"Certain Relationship and Related Transactions." 

   The consummation of the Recent Acquisitions and other future acquisitions 
will also result in substantial charges to earnings relating to interest 
expense and the recognition and amortization of goodwill and other intangible 
assets. As of March 31, 1998, the Company's goodwill was approximately $470.7 
million. This balance will substantially increase due to the Pending 
Acquisitions. Goodwill and other intangible assets are being amortized using 
the straight line method over 15 years. 
    

 YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE 

   
   The Company has addressed the risks associated with Year 2000 compliance 
with respect to its accounting and financial reporting systems and is in the 
process of installing new accounting and reporting systems. These systems are 
expected to provide better reporting, to allow for more detailed analysis, to 
handle both the 1997, Recent and the Pending Acquisitions and to be Year 2000 
compliant. The Company anticipates that the cost of implementing these 
systems will be approximately $3.0 million. The Company is in the process of 
examining Year 2000 compliance issues with respect to its vendors and does 
not anticipate that it will be subject to a material impact in this area. 
    

 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 

   
   In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of An 
Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS 131"), which is effective for years 
beginning after December 15, 1997. FAS 131 establishes standards for the way 
that public business enterprises report information about operating segments 
in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report 
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. 
It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and 
services, geographic areas and major customers. FAS 131 is effective for 
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and 
therefore the Company will adopt the new requirements in 1998. Management has 
not yet completed its review of FAS 131 but does not expect that its adoption 
will have a material effect on the Company's statement of position or 
revenues, only on the composition of its reportable segments. 
    

 SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY 

   
   As of March 31, 1998, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled 
$94.0 million and its working capital deficit totaled $110.8 million. In 
February of 1998, the Company received proceeds of 
    

                               73           
<PAGE>
   
$350.0 million from the Note Offering and borrowed $150.0 million under the 
Credit Facility in order to consummate the Recent Acquisitions (approximately 
$446.1 million) and pay certain fees and expenses related to the Recent 
Acquisitions (approximately $6.0 million). On a pro forma basis, after giving 
effect to the Transactions, the Pending Acquisitions and the Financing as if 
they had occurred on March 31, 1998, the Company's working capital would have 
been approximately $27.8 million at March 31, 1998. 

   The Company has incurred and will continue to incur substantial amounts 
of indebtedness. As of March 31, 1998, the Company's consolidated 
indebtedness would have been approximately $628.0 million on a pro forma 
basis giving effect to the Transactions, the Pending Acquisitions and the 
Financing (assuming that the SFX Merger occurs on the terms 
currently contemplated). The Company may incur indebtedness from time to time 
to finance acquisitions, for capital expenditures or for other purposes. See 
"Risk Factors--Substantial Leverage" and "--Expansion Strategy; Need for 
Additional Funds."

   The Credit Facility consists of a $150.0 million seven year reducing 
revolving facility (the "Revolver") and a $150.0 million eight year term loan 
(the "Term Loan"). Upon consummation of the Financing, the Company estimates 
that it will have $65.1 million in remaining borrowing availability under the 
Credit Facility (subject to the ability of the Company to increase borrowing 
availability by up to an additional $50.0 million). Loans outstanding under 
the Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company's option, at 1.875 to 
2.375 percentage points over LIBOR or the greater of the Federal Funds rate 
plus 0.50% or BNY's prime rate. The interest rate spreads on the Term Loan 
and the Revolver will be adjusted based on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio 
(as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company will pay a per annum 
commitment fee on unused availability under the Revolver of 0.50% to the 
extent that the Company's Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4.0 to 
1.0, and 0.375% if such ratio is less than 4.0 to 1.0 and a per annum letter 
of credit fee equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin (as defined in the Credit 
Agreement) for the Revolver then in effect. The Revolver and Term Loan 
contain provisions providing that, at its option and subject to certain 
conditions, the Company may increase the amount of either the Revolver or 
Term Loan by $50.0 million. The Revolver and Term Loan contain usual and 
customary covenants, including limitations on (a) line of business, (b) 
additional indebtedness, (c) liens, (d) acquisitions, (e) asset sales, (f) 
dividends, repurchases of stock and other cash distributions, (g) total 
leverage, (h) senior leverage and (i) ratios of Operating Cash Flow (as 
defined in the Credit Agreement) to pro forma interest expense, debt service 
and fixed charges. The Company's obligations under the Revolver and Term Loan 
are secured by substantially all of its assets, including property, stock of 
subsidiaries and accounts receivable and guaranteed by the Company's 
subsidiaries. See "Description of Indebtedness--Credit Facility."

   The net proceeds of the Offering, together with anticipated borrowings 
under the Credit Facility, are expected to be approximately $347.0 million, 
which the Company intends to use to pay the anticipated tax indemnification 
obligation to SFX Broadcasting (approximately $120.0 million), to pay the 
cash portion of the purchase price of the Pending Acquisitions (approximately 
$216.1 million), to pay certain fees and expenses related to the Financing 
(approximately $17.9 million), to pay certain fees and expenses related to 
the Pending Acquisitions (approximately $6.0 million) and to make certain 
change of control payments to executive officers ($5.0 million). The 
foregoing represents the Company's best estimate of the allocation of the net 
proceeds of the Offering based on the current status of its business and, as 
noted elsewhere herein, could be subject to significant change. On a pro 
forma basis for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998, amounts available for 
borrowing under the Credit Facility plus the net proceeds from the Offering, 
would be sufficient for the uses of funds described herein. However, there 
can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient cash flows at the 
time of borrowing to permit it to make borrowings under the Credit Facility 
in the amounts required. See "Description of Indebtedness." 

   Future events, including the actual amount of the tax indemnity payment, 
the ability of the Company to identify appropriate acquisition candidates, 
the availability of other financing and funds generated from operations and 
the status of the Company's business from time to time, may make changes in 
the allocation of the net proceeds of the Offering necessary or desirable. 
See "Use of Proceeds."
    

   Furthermore, certain agreements of the Company, including the Distribution 
Agreement, the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Employee Benefits Agreement, certain 
employment agreements and the agreements relating to the Recent 

                               74           
<PAGE>
   
Acquisitions and the Pending Acquisitions provide for tax and other 
indemnities, purchase price adjustments and future contingent payments in 
certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the Company will have 
sufficient sources of funds to make such payments should they come due. In 
addition, consistent with its operating strategy, the Company is currently 
negotiating additional acquisitions and expects to pursue additional 
acquisitions in the live entertainment business in the future. See "Risk 
Factors--Risks Related to Pending Acquisitions," "--Substantial Leverage," 
"--Future Contingent Payments" and "--Restrictions Imposed by the Company's 
Indebtedness," "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Indemnification
of Mr. Sillerman" and "Description of Indebtedness."

                 OVERVIEW OF THE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY 

CONCERT PROMOTION INDUSTRY 

   
   The concert promotion industry consists primarily of regional promoters 
focused generally in one or two major metropolitan markets. According to 
Amusement Business, industry gross box office receipts for North American 
concert tours totaled $1.1 billion in 1997, compared to $321.7 million in 
1985, representing a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 10.9%. 
The Company believes that overall increases in ticket sales during the last 
several years are in part due to the increasing popularity of amphitheaters 
as live entertainment venues, as well as an increasing number of tours that 
attract older audiences who did not previously attend musical concerts. 
    

   Typically, in order to initiate a music concert or other live 
entertainment event or tour, a booking agent contracts with a performer to 
arrange a venue and date, or series of venues and dates, for the performer's 
event. The booking agent in turn contacts a promoter or promoters in the 
locality or region of the relevant venue or venues. The promoter markets the 
event, sells tickets, rents or otherwise provides the event venue or venues, 
and arranges for local production services (such as stage, set, sound and 
lighting). In certain instances, particularly in connection with music 
festivals, a promoter may also provide limited production services. 
Individual industry participants, such as the Company, often perform more 
than one of the booking, promotion and venue operation functions. 

   The booking agent generally receives a fixed fee for its services, or in 
some cases, a fee based on the success of the event or events, in each case 
from the artist. The promoter typically agrees to pay the performer the 
greater of a guaranteed amount and a profit-sharing payment based on gross 
ticket revenues, therefore assuming the risk of an unsuccessful event. The 
promoter sets ticket prices and advertises the event in order to cover 
expenses and generate profits. In the case of an unprofitable event, a 
promoter will sometimes renegotiate a lower guarantee in order to mitigate 
the promoter's losses (in a process known as "settlement"). In some 
instances, the promoter agrees to accept a fee from the booking agent for the 
promoter's services, and the booking agent bears the financial risk of the 
event. 

   A venue operator typically contracts with a promoter to rent its venue for 
a specific event on a specific date or dates. The venue operator provides 
services such as concessions, parking, security, ushers and ticket-takers, 
and receives revenues from concessions, merchandise, sponsorships, parking 
and premium box seats. A venue operator will typically receive (for each 
event it hosts) a fixed fee or percentage of ticket sales for use of the 
venue, as well as a fee representing between 40-50% of total concession sales 
from the vendors and 10-25% of total merchandise sales from the performer. 

   Concert venues are generally comprised of stadiums (typically 32,000 seats 
or more), amphitheaters or arenas (typically 5,000 to 32,000 seats), clubs 
(typically less than 2,000 seats) and theaters (typically 100 to 5,000 
seats). Amphitheaters are generally outdoor venues that are used primarily in 
the summer season. They have become increasingly popular venues for concerts 
because the seating configuration is designed specifically for concert 
events, often resulting in more available seats, fewer obstructed seats, 
better lines of sight to the stage and superior acoustics. In addition, 
because they typically cost less to construct, maintain and operate than 
traditional multi-purpose stadiums and arenas, amphitheaters often are able 
to host concerts and other events that would not be profitable in a stadium 
or arena. 

THEATRICAL INDUSTRY 

   The audience for live professional theater has increased significantly in 
the last two decades. According to Variety Magazine, gross ticket sales for 
the entire industry of Touring Broadway Shows and Broadway shows have 
increased from $431.5 million during the 1986-7 season to $1.3 billion during 
the 1996-7 season, a compounded annual growth rate of 11.7%. During this 
time, the number of touring weeks and markets where Touring Broadway Shows 
could profitably be presented have expanded. Sales for Touring Broadway Shows 
have grown as a percentage of total industry gross ticket sales, from 
approximately 52% in the 1986-7 season to approximately 60% in the 1996-7 
season. The growth of the 

                               76           
<PAGE>
national theatrical industry had resulted, in part, from the development of 
local subscription series for Touring Broadway Shows, the construction of new 
performing arts centers with seating capacities of 2,500 or more in many 
municipalities, and an increase in the quality of Touring Broadway Shows and 
in the number of multiple-week engagements produced for presentation outside 
of New York City. Touring Broadway Shows are typically revivals of previous 
commercial successes or reproductions of theatrical shows currently playing 
on Broadway in New York City ("Broadway Shows"). 

   
   Live professional theater consists mainly of the production of existing 
musical and dramatic works and the development of new works. In general, 
musicals require more investment of time and capital than dramatic 
productions. For an existing musical work (which is more likely to be 
presented as a Touring Broadway Show), a period of 12 to 24 months typically 
elapses between the time a producer acquires the theatrical stage rights and 
the date when the musical is first performed before the public. During this 
time, a touring company is assembled, and the show is readied for the road. 
By comparison, dramatic productions typically have smaller production 
budgets, shorter pre-production periods and lower operating costs, and tend 
to occupy smaller theaters for shorter runs. 
    

   A producer of a Broadway Show or a Touring Broadway Show first acquires 
the rights to the work from its owners, who typically receive royalty 
payments in return. The producer then assembles the cast of the play, hires a 
director and arranges for the design and construction of sets and costumes. 
The producer of a Touring Broadway Show also must arrange transportation and 
schedule the show with local promoters. The local promoter of a Touring 
Broadway Show, who generally operates or has relationships with venues in 
individual markets, provides all local services such as selling tickets, 
hiring local personnel, buying advertising and paying a fixed guarantee 
(typically between $100,000 and $400,000) to the producer of the show for 
each week that the show is presented. The promoter is then entitled to 
recover the amount of the guarantee plus its local costs from ticket 
revenues. Any remaining ticket revenues are shared by the promoter and the 
producer, with the producer typically receiving approximately 60% of the 
profits. Although Touring Broadway Shows are generally substantially less 
expensive to produce than Broadway Shows, they may be financed through a 
limited partnership with third-party investors who receive a profit interest 
in the production. Often, investors in Touring Broadway Shows will also 
invest in the underlying Broadway Show, in part to help secure touring 
rights. After investors have received the complete return of their 
investment, net profits are split between the limited partners and the show's 
producer. The amount of net profits allocated to the show's producer, 
including fees and royalties, varies somewhat, but is normally in the range 
of 50% after certain profit participations are deducted. After certain net 
profits, a producer may also receive a production fee and royalties. A 
typical Touring Broadway Show requires 45 playing weeks with a weekly 
guarantee from the local promoter of approximately $250,000 to recoup 
production and touring costs; more elaborate touring productions with larger 
casts or sets, such as The Phantom of the Opera or Miss Saigon, generally 
require significantly higher weekly revenues and additional playing weeks in 
order to recoup production and touring costs. 

   Tickets for Touring Broadway Shows often are sold through "subscription 
series," which are pre-sold season tickets for a defined package of shows to 
be presented in a given venue. 

MOTOR SPORTS INDUSTRY 

   Specialized motor sports events make up a growing segment of the live 
entertainment industry. This growth has resulted from additional demand in 
existing markets and new demand in markets where new arenas and stadiums have 
been built. The increasing popularity of specialized motor sports over the 
last several years has coincided with (and, in part, been due to) the 
increased popularity of other professional motor sports events, such as 
professional auto racing (including NASCAR, CART and Indy Car Racing). A 
number of specialized motor sports events are televised on several of the 
major television networks and are also shown on television in markets outside 
of the United States. 

   In general, one to four motor sports events will be produced and presented 
each year in a market, with larger markets hosting more performances. 
Stadiums and arenas typically work with producers and promoters to manage the 
scheduling of events to maximize each event's results and each season's 
revenues. The cost of producing and promoting a typical single stadium event 
ranges from $300,000 to 

                               77           
<PAGE>
   
$600,000, and the cost of producing and presenting a typical single arena 
event ranges from $50,000 to $150,000. Monster trucks, demolition derbies, 
thrill acts, air shows and other motor sports concepts and events are 
typically created and financed by third parties and hired to perform in an 
individual event or season of events. As in other motor sports, corporate 
sponsorships and television exposure are important financial components that 
contribute to the success of a single event or season of events. 

TALENT REPRESENTATION INDUSTRY 

   The talent representation industry generally encompasses the negotiation 
of employment agreements and the creation and evaluation of endorsement, 
promotional and other business opportunities for the client. A participant in 
this industry may also provide ancillary services, such as financial advisory 
or management services to its clients in the course of the representation.

                                   BUSINESS 

GENERAL 

   
   SFX Entertainment is a leading integrated promoter, producer and venue 
operator in the live entertainment industry. In addition, upon consummation 
of the acquisition of FAME, the Company will be a leading full-service 
marketing and management company specializing in the representation of team 
sports athletes, primarily in professional basketball. The Company believes 
that it currently controls the largest network of venues used principally for 
music concerts and other live entertainment events in the United States, with 
45 venues either directly owned or operated under lease or exclusive booking 
arrangements in 22 of the top 50 markets, including 11 amphitheaters in 7 of 
the top 10 markets. Through its large number of venues, its strong, branded 
presence in each market served and its long operating history, the Company is 
able to provide an integrated offering of promotion and production services 
across a broad variety of live entertainment events locally, regionally and 
nationally. During 1997, approximately 27 million people attended 9,600 
events promoted and/or produced by the Company, the Acquired Businesses and 
the businesses to be acquired in the Pending Acquisitions, including 
approximately 4,200 music concerts, 4,900 theatrical shows and over 200 
specialized motor sports events. These events included: (a) music concerts 
featuring artists such as The Rolling Stones, Phish, Fleetwood Mac, Ozzy 
Osbourne and Alanis Morissette, (b) music festivals such as the George Strait 
Country Music Festival, (c) touring theatrical productions such as The 
Phantom of the Opera, Jekyll & Hyde, Rent and The Magic of David Copperfield 
and (d) specialized motor sports events, such as Truck Fest and American 
Motorcycle Association Supercross racing events. In addition, the Company's 
event marketing programs interfaced with over 15 million people in 1997. The 
Company believes that its ability to provide integrated live entertainment 
services will, among other things, encourage wider use of its venues by 
performers and allow the Company to capture a greater percentage of revenues 
from national tours and ancillary revenue sources. On a pro forma basis, the 
Company would have had revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of $827.9 million and 
$104.9 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998. For a
description of Adjusted EBITDA, see footnote 5 to "Summary Consolidated
Financial Statements."

   The Company's core business is the promotion and production of live 
entertainment events, most significantly for concert and other music 
performances in venues owned and/or operated by the Company and in 
third-party venues. As promoter, the Company typically markets events and 
tours, sells tickets, rents or otherwise provides event venues and arranges 
for local production services (such as stage, set, sound and lighting). As 
producer, the Company (a) creates tours for music concert, theatrical, 
specialized motor sports and other events, (b) develops and manages Touring 
Broadway Shows and (c) develops specialized motor sports and other live 
entertainment events. As venue owner/operator, the Company books and promotes 
events in the venues which it controls. The Company also derives ancillary 
revenues from operations related to its live entertainment events, including 
the sale of corporate sponsorships and advertising, the sale of concessions 
and the merchandising of a broad range of products. In addition, upon 
consummation of the acquisition of FAME, the Company will represent 
approximately 75 professional athletes, primarily in basketball. On a pro 
forma basis, the Company's music businesses, theater operations, specialized 
motor sports operations and other operations would have comprised 
approximately 67%, 13%, 6% and 14%, respectively, of the Company's total 
revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998. 
    

SFX MERGER AND THE SPIN-OFF 

   
   SFX Broadcasting was formed in 1992 principally to acquire and operate 
radio broadcasting stations. In August 1997, SFX Broadcasting agreed to merge 
with an affiliate of SFX Buyer, and to Spin-Off the Company to certain 
stockholders of SFX Broadcasting on a pro rata basis. The Spin-Off was 
consummated on April 27, 1998. The Spin-Off separated the entertainment 
business from SFX Broadcasting's radio broadcasting business and will enable 
SFX Buyer to acquire only SFX Broadcasting's radio broadcasting business in 
the SFX Merger. SFX Broadcasting has indicated that it expects the SFX Merger 
to be completed in the second quarter of 1998. 
    

   Prior to the Spin-Off, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, SFX 
Broadcasting contributed to the Company all of its assets relating to the 
entertainment business. In addition, the Company, SFX 

                               79           
<PAGE>
   
Broadcasting and SFX Buyer also entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement and the 
Employee Benefits Agreement. Each of the agreements provides for certain 
indemnification obligations by the Company and SFX Broadcasting. Pursuant to 
the Distribution Agreement, at the time of the SFX Merger, SFX Broadcasting 
will contribute any positive Working Capital to the Company. If Working 
Capital is negative, the Company must pay the amount of the shortfall to SFX 
Broadcasting. As of March 31, 1998, the Company estimates that Working 
Capital to be paid by SFX Broadcasting to the Company would have been 
approximately $3.0 million. The Company does not expect that the amount of 
Working Capital will be materially different at the time of the SFX Merger 
(assuming a closing date for the SFX Merger of May 31, 1998). Pursuant to the 
Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify SFX Broadcasting 
for certain tax obligations, including a tax obligation of approximately 
$120.0 million in connection with the Spin-Off. The Company intends to use a 
portion of the net proceeds of the Financing to make such payments. See "Risk 
Factors--Future Contingent Payments," and "--Liquidity and Capital 
Resources." 

   In the Spin-Off, (a) 13,579,024 shares of Class A Common Stock were 
distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting's 
Class A common stock, Series D preferred stock and interests in SFX 
Broadcasting's director deferred stock ownership plan, (b) 1,047,037 shares 
of Class B Common Stock were distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record 
date of SFX Broadcasting's Class B Common Stock, and (c) 609,856 shares were 
placed in escrow to be issued upon the exercise of certain warrants of SFX 
Broadcasting. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Employment
Agreements."
    

1997 ACQUISITIONS 

   The Company was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX Broadcasting in 
December 1997 as the parent company of Concerts. Concerts was formed by SFX 
Broadcasting in January of 1997 to acquire and hold SFX Broadcasting's live 
entertainment operations. 

 DELSENER/SLATER 

   In January 1997, Concerts acquired Delsener/Slater, a leading concert 
promotion company, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $27.6 
million, including $2.9 million for working capital and the present value of 
deferred payments of $3.0 million to be paid without interest over five years 
and $1.0 million to be paid without interest over ten years. Delsener/Slater 
has long-term leases or is the exclusive promoter for several of the major 
concert venues in the New York City metropolitan area, including the Jones 
Beach Amphitheater, a 14,000-seat complex located in Wantagh, New York, and 
the PNC Bank Arts Center (formerly known as the Garden State Arts Center), a 
17,500-seat complex located in Holmdel, New Jersey. 

 MEADOWS 

   
   In March 1997, Concerts acquired the stock of certain companies which own 
and operate the Meadows, a 25,000-seat indoor/outdoor complex located in 
Hartford, Connecticut for $900,000 in cash, 250,838 shares of SFX 
Broadcasting Class A common stock with a value of approximately $7.5 million 
and the assumption of approximately $15.4 million in debt. See "Certain 
Relationships and Related Transactions--Meadows Repurchase." 
    

 SUNSHINE PROMOTIONS 

   
   In June 1997, Concerts acquired the stock of Sunshine Promotions, one of 
the largest concert promoters in the Midwest for $53.9 million in cash, $2.0 
million payable over five years, shares of SFX Broadcasting Class A common 
stock issued and issuable over a two year period with a value of 
approximately $4.0 million and the assumption of approximately $1.6 million 
of debt. Sunshine Promotions owns the Deer Creek Music Theater, a 21,000-seat 
complex located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Polaris Amphitheater 
("Polaris"), a 20,000-seat complex located in Columbus, Ohio, and has a 
long-term lease to operate the Murat Centre, a 2,700-seat theater and 
2,200-seat ballroom located in Indianapolis, Indiana.

RECENT ACQUISITIONS 

   
   In February and March of 1998, the Company completed its acquisitions of 
PACE, Contemporary, BGP, Network, Concert/Southern and certain related 
entities. The aggregate purchase price of these Recent Acquisitions was 
approximately $442.1 million in cash including repaid debt and payments for 
working capital, $7.8 million in assumed debt and the issuance of an 
aggregate of approximately 4.2 million shares of Class A Common Stock. 
Following is a brief description of the Acquired Businesses. The following 
descriptions are not intended to be complete descriptions of the terms of the 
acquisition agreements and are qualified by reference to the acquisition 
agreements, copies of which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated 
herein by reference. See "Additional Information." 
    

 PACE 

   
   On February 25, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital 
stock of PACE for a total purchase price of $109.5 million in cash, the 
repayment of $20.6 million of debt and the issuance of 1.5 million shares of 
Class A Common Stock. PACE is one of the largest diversified promoters and 
producers of live entertainment in the United States, having what the Company 
believes to be the largest distribution network in each of its music 
concerts, theatrical shows and motor sports events business segments. In 
connection with the acquisition of PACE, the Company has obtained 100% of 
Pavilion Partners, a partnership that owns interests in 10 of the 41 venues 
owned by the Company, by acquiring one-third of Pavilion Partners through the 
acquisition of PACE and the remaining two-thirds of Pavilion Partners from 
Sony and Blockbuster, for a combined consideration of $90.6 million 
(comprised of cash of $41.4 million, the repayment of $43.1 million of debt 
related to the two-thirds interest and the assumption of $6.1 million of debt 
related to a capital lease). Under certain circumstances, the Company may be 
required to sell either its motor sports or theatrical lines of business. See 
"Management--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and 
Directors." 

   In addition, on March 25, 1998, PACE acquired a 67% interest in certain 
assets and liabilities of USA Motorsports for an aggregate cash consideration 
of approximately $4.0 million. The remaining 33% interest is held by the 
Contemporary Group. 
    

   In connection with its acquisition of partnership interests in Lakewood 
Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia and Starplex Amphitheater in Dallas, Texas, 
PACE entered into a co-promotion agreement with its partner that contains a 
provision that purports, under certain circumstances, to require PACE to 
co-promote (and share one-half of the profits and losses) with such 
partnership certain concerts which are presented by PACE or any of its 
affiliates in another venue located in either Atlanta, Georgia or Dallas, 
Texas. However, the Company acquired an interest in Chastain Park 
Amphitheater, also in Atlanta, in the Concert Southern acquisition described 
below. The Company is currently negotiating with the third party to waive 
this restrictive provision; however, it is possible that the Company will be 
unable to obtain the waiver. In management's view, this provision will not 
materially affect the business or prospects of the Company. 

 CONTEMPORARY 

   On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired by merger and asset 
acquisition, the music concert, live entertainment, event marketing, 
computerized ticketing and related businesses of Contemporary and the 50% 
interest in the Riverport Amphitheater Joint Venture not owned by 
Contemporary for approximately $72.8 million in cash, a payment for working 
capital of $9.9 million, and the issuance of the 1,402,850 shares of Class A 
Common Stock. Contemporary is a vertically-integrated live entertainment and 
special event promoter and producer, venue operator and consumer marketer. 

   Contemporary is also one of the top special event sales promotion and 
marketing companies in the country. Contemporary develops programs for 
national consumer product companies and for demonstrating, sampling and 
selling products to consumers. Contemporary's clients have included AT&T, CBS 
TV, Radio Shack, Coca Cola USA, Reebok, Nabisco and the National Basketball 
Association.

 BGP 

   On February 24, 1998, the Company acquired BGP for total consideration of 
$60.8 million in cash, $12.0 million in repayment of debt, which amount was 
at least equal to BGP's working capital (as defined in the acquisition 
agreement) and the issuance of 562,640 shares of Class A Common Stock. BGP is 
one of the oldest promoters and producers of live entertainment in the United 
States and is the principal promoter of live entertainment in the San 
Francisco Bay area. 

 NETWORK 

   
   On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired Album Network, Inc., SJS and 
The Network 40 for a purchase price of $52.0 million in cash, a payment for 
working capital of $1.8 million, reimbursed seller's costs of $500,000, the 
purchase of an office building and related property for $2.5 million and the 
issuance of 750,188 shares of Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the 
Spin-Off. The $2.5 million purchase of the office building and related 
property consisted of cash of $700,000 and the assumption of debt of $1.8 
million. Network is engaged in music marketing, research and artist 
development activities and is a publisher of trade magazines for radio 
broadcasters, music retailers, performers and record industry executives.

   On March 4, 1998, the Company acquired Concert/Southern for a total cash 
purchase price of $16.9 million (including a working capital payment of 
$300,000). Concert/Southern is a promoter of live entertainment in the 
Atlanta metropolitan area. 

 WESTBURY 

   On January 8, 1998, the Company acquired a long-term lease for Westbury 
Music Fair, located in Westbury, New York, for an aggregate consideration of 
approximately $3.0 million and an agreement to issue 75,019 shares of Class A 
Common Stock. During the period between the closing and January 8, 2000, the 
Company has the right to repurchase all of such shares for an aggregate 
consideration of $2.0 million and the seller has the right to require the 
Company to purchase all of such shares for an aggregate consideration of 
$750,000. 

PENDING ACQUISITIONS 

   In April and May of 1998, the Company entered into agreements or letters 
of intent to acquire the following live entertainment and talent 
representation businesses (for a more complete description of the material 
terms of the agreements relating to these acquisitions, see "Agreements 
Related to the Pending Acquisitions"): 

 FAME 

   On April 29, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement (the "FAME 
Agreement") to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of FAME, a 
leading full-service marketing and management company which specializes in 
the representation of team sports athletes, primarily in professional 
basketball. The aggregate purchase price for FAME will be approximately $82.9 
million in cash (including approximately $7.9 million which the Company 
anticipates paying in connection with certain taxes which FAME and the FAME 
sellers will be subject to) and 1.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock. 
The agreement provides for payments by the Company to the FAME sellers of 
additional amounts up to $15.0 million in equal annual installments over five 
years contingent on the achievement of certain EBITDA targets. The agreement 
also provides for additional payments by the Company if FAME's EBITDA 
performance exceeds the targets by certain amounts. FAME was founded in 1992 
by David Falk and Curtis Polk and currently represents some of the premier 
athletes in professional team sports, including, among others, Michael 
Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Juwan Howard and Allen Iverson. In 
addition, FAME provides specialized financial advisory services to its 
clients. Upon the consummation of the FAME acquisition, Mr. Falk will 
continue to serve as the Chairman of FAME and will be appointed as a Member 
    

                               82           

<PAGE>
   
of the Office of the Chairman and a Director of the Company. The Company 
believes that, through its acquisition of FAME, it will be able to capitalize 
on the cross-marketing opportunities that may arise by virtue of representing 
prominent team athletes while selling corporate sponsorships and other 
marketing rights at its existing venues. 

 DON LAW 

   On April 29, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Don Law 
Agreement") to acquire certain assets of Don Law. The Company proposes to 
acquire such assets of Don Law for an aggregate consideration of 
approximately $90.0 million, including the repayment of approximately $10.0 
million in indebtedness. The Company may, at its option, pay up to $16.0 
million of the purchase price in shares of Class A Common Stock. Don Law is a 
leading concert and theater promoter in the New England area. In addition, 
Don Law acts as the sole ticket operator for all of its own venues as well as 
several third party venues. The definitive agreement is expected to provide 
for an employment contract for Mr. Donald F. Law, Jr., the founder and 
president and chief executive officer of Don Law. 

 AVALON 

   On March 6 and 9, 1998, the Company entered into two binding letters of 
intent to acquire Avalon for a total cash purchase price of $27.4 million, 
including approximately $400,000 which the Company expects to pay to the 
Avalon sellers to reimburse them for their third party out of pocket costs 
and expenses incurred in connection with the development of the Camarillo 
Creek Amphitheater. The Avalon sellers will receive an additional $1.0 million
if the Camarillo Creek Amphitheater has been completed pursuant to a certain 
budget projections and the production of entertainment events at the site 
have commenced. Avalon is a leading music concert producer and promoter in 
the Los Angeles area. 

 OAKDALE 

   On April 22, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Oakdale 
Agreement") to acquire certain assets of Oakdale for a purchase price of 
$11.9 million in cash. At the closing the Company will also make a 
non-recourse loan to the Oakdale sellers in the amount of $11.4 million. 
Oakdale is a promoter and producer of concerts in Connecticut and the owner 
of the Oakdale Theater, a new 4,800 seat facility located in Wallingford, 
Connecticut. In addition, pursuant to the Oakdale Agreement, if the combined 
EBITDA (as defined in the Oakdale Agreement) of the Oakdale Theater and 
Meadows exceeds $5.5 million in 1999, the Company will be obligated to pay 
between 5.0 to 5.8 times the amount of such excess. 

 EMI 

   On May 1, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement (the "EMI 
Agreement") to acquire an 80% equity interest in EMI for $8.5 million in 
cash. In addition, if the EMI sellers are required to pay any federal income 
taxes in connection with the transaction, the Company has agreed to make a 
loan to them in such amount (which the Company currently anticipates will be 
approximately $750,000. The loan will bear interest at a rate of 10% and will 
be repaid when the EMI sellers sell their remaining equity interests in EMI. 
EMI has long term concession contracts with 26 amphitheaters, including 13 
venues owned and/or operated by the Company. 

SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY 

   The Company is engaged in (a) the booking, promotion and production of 
live entertainment events and tours, (b) the ownership and/or operation of 
concert and other entertainment venues, (c) the representation of 
professional athletes and (d) the sale of corporate sponsorships and 
advertising and provision of marketing and consulting services to 
third-parties. 
    

 BOOKING AND PROMOTION 

   The Company books and promotes music concert, theatrical, specialized 
motor sports and other live entertainment events and tours such as music 
festivals, comedy tours, figure skating shows, gymnastics 

                               83           
<PAGE>
tours, motivational speaking tours and other special events. The Company 
books and promotes events in a number of types of venues (including 
amphitheaters, theaters, clubs, arenas and stadiums) that are owned and/or 
operated by the Company or by third parties. See "--Venue Operations." The 
Company primarily promotes concerts performed by newer groups having 
widespread popularity (e.g., Phish, Dave Matthews and Hootie & the Blowfish) 
and by more established groups having relatively long-standing and more 
stable bases of popularity (e.g., James Taylor and Jimmy Buffett). The 
Company believes that its large distribution network will enable it to set an 
aggregate guarantee for a series of shows, mitigating the risk of loss 
associated with a single show. The Company also believes that the market 
research and audience demographics database that it acquired in the Recent 
Acquisitions, when combined with its existing audience data collection 
efforts, will permit highly-effective, targeted marketing, such as 
direct-mail and subscription series campaigns, which the Company believes 
will increase ticket pre-sales and overall sales in a cost-efficient manner. 
In addition, the Company's Capital Tickets retail distribution outlets and 
Dialtix interactive, voice-response automated phone ticket order system are 
currently operating in three markets. The Company believes that expanding the 
markets where it can utilize its own ticketing sources will permit the 
Company to promote its live entertainment events more effectively.

by the Company:

 PRODUCTION 

   The Company is currently involved in the creation of tours for music 
concert and other live entertainment events. The Company's production 
activities include (a) the creation of tours for music concert, theatrical, 
specialized motor sports and other live entertainment events, (b) the 
development and management of Touring Broadway Shows and (c) the development 
of specialized motor sports shows, proprietary characters and television 
programming. The Acquired Businesses produce tours on a national or regional 
basis and, in 1997, structured national tours for Fleetwood Mac and Ozzy 
Osbourne, among others. The Company plans to increase its production of 
national music tours. PACE (one of the Acquired Businesses) also produces 
Touring Broadway Shows, acquiring the stage and touring rights from a show's 
owner, assembling the touring cast, hiring a director and arranging for the 
construction and design of sets and costumes. Touring Broadway Shows are 
typically revivals of previous commercial successes or reproductions of 
theatrical shows currently playing on Broadway in New York City. PACE also 
produces and makes small investments (i.e., from approximately $150,000 to 
$600,000) as a limited partner in the creation of a small number of original 
Broadway Shows in exchange for obtaining touring rights and favorable 
scheduling for those shows. 

   The Touring Broadway Show production and promotion industry is highly 
fragmented. The Company believes it is the largest of six multiple-market 
promoters of Touring Broadway Shows in the United States, and that the 
remainder of the industry is made up of single-market promoters. The Company 
competes with other producers and promoters to obtain presentation 
arrangements with venues and 

                               84

performing arts organizations in various markets, including in markets that 
have more than one venue suitable for presenting a Touring Broadway Show. The 
Company's competitors, some of whom have also been partners of PACE in 
certain theater investments from time to time, include a number of New 
York-based production companies that also promote Touring Broadway Shows and 
a number of regional promoters. On a pro forma basis, the Company would have 
had a producing interest or investment in the following shows for 1997 and/or 
1998:

   The Company believes that there are approximately 50 domestic markets that 
can provide the potential audience and gross ticket revenues for a full scale 
Touring Broadway Show to be profitable, and an additional 50 markets where 
smaller scale productions with shorter runs can be presented profitably. In 
most of these cities, there are a limited number of venues that can 
accommodate a Touring Broadway Show. 

   
   The Company currently sells subscription series for its Touring Broadway 
Shows in the following 31 of the approximately 60 markets that maintain 
active touring schedules:

   Subscriptions historically have covered two-thirds of PACE's break-even 
point for Touring Broadway Shows. In 1997, PACE had approximately 220,000 
subscribers for its Touring Broadway Shows. 

   
   The Company also produces motor sports events such as monster truck 
events, tractor pulls, mud races, demolition derbies and motorcross races, 
and designs tracks and other elements for those events.

Competition among producers in the specialized motor sports industry is 
between three large companies and a number of smaller regional companies. The 
Company believes that it is the largest participant in the industry, on a pro 
forma basis having produced over 200 events in 1997. The Company also 
competes with several regional specialized motor sports companies, which each 
present only a small number of events, as well as a number of local promoters 
that present only one or two events per year. See "Risk Factors--Rights to 
Purchase Certain Subsidiaries." 
    

   In addition, the Company produces a variety of other forms of live 
entertainment, including music festivals, radio programs, air shows, figure 
skating shows, gymnastics tours, comedy tours, motivational speaking tours 
and television programming based on certain of their events and other events. 

 VENUE OPERATIONS 

   
   The Company's revenues from its venue operations are derived primarily 
from corporate sponsorships and advertising, concessions, merchandise, 
parking and other related items. A venue operator will typically receive for 
each event it hosts a fixed fee or percentage of ticket sales for use of the 
venue, as well as a fee representing between 40-50% of total concession sales 
from the vendors and 10-25% of total merchandise sales from the performer. As 
a venue owner, the Company typically receives 100% of sponsorship and 
advertising revenues. Since few artists will play in every available market 
during a tour, the Company competes with venues in other markets for dates of 
popular national tours. The favorable cost structure of amphitheaters and 
their ability to draw fans is often an important factor in the decision of a 
performer to choose to perform in an amphitheater market. In certain cities, 
the Company also competes with other venues to promote an artist in that 
city. The Company believes that it controls the largest network of venues 
used principally for music concerts and other live entertainment events in 
the United States. Upon consummation of the Pending Acquisitions the Company 
will own and/or operate 45 venues in 22 of the top 50 markets, including 11 
amphitheaters in 7 of the top 10 markets. The following chart sets forth 
certain information with respect to the venues that are owned and/or operated 
by the Company:

(1)    Based on the July 1994 population of metropolitan statistical areas as 
       set forth in the 1997 Statistical Abstracts of the United States. Does 
       not include venues where the Company sells subscriptions for Touring 
       Broadway Shows. 
(2)    Assumes completion of current expansion projects, which are anticipated 
       to be completed by Summer 1998. 
(3)    Additional seating of approximately 40,000 is available for certain 
       events. 

   Because the Company operates a number of its venues under leasing or 
booking agreements, the Company's long-term success will depend on its 
ability to renew these agreements when they expire or terminate. There can be 
no assurance that the Company will be able to renew these agreements on 
acceptable terms or at all, or that it will be able to obtain attractive 
agreements with substitute venues. 


    
   
 REPRESENTATION OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES 

   Upon consummation of the FAME Acquisition, the Company will be a leading 
full-service provider of marketing and management services, specializing in 
the representation of team sports athletes (primarily in professional 
basketball). The Company will generate revenues through the negotiation of 
professional sports contracts (primarily basketball) and endorsement 
contracts for its clients. FAME's clients have endorsed products for 
companies such as Nike, McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Chevrolet. In addition, 
FAME generates a small portion of its revenues by providing certain financial 
management and planning services to its clients, through its investment 
affiliate (which will also be acquired in the FAME Acquisition), which is a 
registered investment advisor. The Company believes that it will be able to 
capitalize on the synergies which exist between the representation of 
athletes in corporate marketing opportunities and the sale of corporate 
sponsorships and other marketing rights at its existing venues. 

   A significant portion of FAME's revenues to date has been derived from a 
small number of clients. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the 
Transactions and the Pending Acquisitions, the Company estimates that five of 
FAME's clients would have accounted for approximately 78% of FAME's revenue 
for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998 and, on such pro forma basis, 
FAME's EBITDA would have comprised approximately 7% of the Company's EBITDA 
for the same period. The amount of endorsement and other revenues which these 
clients generate is a function of, among other things, such clients' 
professional performance and public appeal. Factors beyond the Company's 
control, such as injuries to these clients, declining skill, or labor unrest 
among others, could have a material adverse affect on the Company's 
operations. FAME's representation agreements with its clients are generally 
for a term equal to the term of the player's professional sports contract but 
are terminable on 15 days' notice (although FAME would continue to be 
entitled to the revenue streams generated during the remaining term of any 
contracts which it negotiated). The termination or expiration of FAME's 
contracts with certain clients could have a material adverse affect on the 
Company's operations. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Representation 
of Athletes." 
    

 SPONSORSHIPS AND ADVERTISING; MARKETING AND OTHER SERVICES 

   In order to maximize revenues, the Company actively pursues the sale of 
local, regional and national corporate sponsorships, including the naming of 
venues (e.g., the PNC Bank Arts Center) and the designation of "official" 
event or tour sponsors, concessions providers (e.g., beer and soda), credit 
card companies, phone companies, film manufacturers and radio stations, among 
others. Sponsorship arrangements can provide significant additional revenues 
at negligible incremental cost, and many of the Company's venues currently 
have no sponsorship arrangements in many of the available categories 
(including naming rights). The Company believes that the national venue 
network assembled through the Recent Acquisitions will likely (a) attract a 
larger number of major corporate sponsors and (b) enable the Company to sell 
national sponsorship rights at a premium over local or regional sponsorship 
rights. The 

                                      89
<PAGE>

Company also pursues the sale of corporate advertising at its venues, and
believes that it has substantial advertising space available (e.g., billboard
space) that it has not yet begun to utilize. The Company also believes that (a)
its relationships with advertisers will enable it to better utilize available
advertising space and (b) the aggregation of its audiences nationwide will
create the opportunity for advertisers to access a nationwide market.

   The Company provides a variety of marketing and consulting services 
derived from or complementary to their live entertainment operations, 
including (a) local, regional and national live marketing programs and (b) 
subscription or fee based radio and music industry data compilation and 
distribution. Live marketing programs are generally specialized advertising 
campaigns designed to promote a client's product or service by providing 
samples or demonstrations in a live format, typically at malls and college 
campuses. For example, Contemporary (one of the Acquired Businesses) presents 
live marketing events on behalf of AT&T for the purposes of demonstrating the
advantages of AT&T's long distance service over that of its competitors. This
program is in its third year, and Contemporary is now the primary vendor for
this service. Additionally, the Company believes that Contemporary is one of
the leading producers of national mall touring events, producing over 65 events
every year in the country's top-rated shopping malls. These events, either in
stores or mall congregation areas, are designed to promote brand awareness and
drive follow-up sales. Contemporary recently had mall tour campaigns for
Newsweek magazine (the Newsweek Technology Tour) and for Radio Shack (The Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame/Radio Shack Tour). The Company believes that, along with
mall events, Contemporary is one of the industry leaders in events produced on
college campuses. Currently in its seventh year, the CBS College Tour will
appear at 40 colleges in the U.S. In addition to promoting the image of the CBS
Television Network, these tours also create value-added tie-in promotions and
marketing programs for the network's top advertisers. During each year,
Contemporary uses over 100 vehicles (including semi-trailer trucks, vans and
other vehicles) traveling nationwide in support of these programs, and draws on
over 1,000 independent marketing associates across the country with respect to
its marketing campaigns.

   The Company is engaged in music marketing, research and artist development 
activities, and is a publisher of trade magazines for radio broadcasters, 
music retailers, performers and record industry executives. Each of the 
Company's magazines focuses on research and insight common to a specific 
contemporary radio format. The Company also provides radio airplay and music 
retail research services to record labels, artist managers, retailers and 
radio broadcasters. The Company gathers its information directly from nearly 
1,100 radio programmers and product buyers and in 1996 had more than 300 
clients for these services. Annual fees from these services during this 
period have ranged from $2,500 to $250,000 per corporate client. 

   The Company, through Network (one of the Acquired Businesses), creates and 
distributes network radio special events and live concert programming for 
over 400 music radio stations in the top 200 United States radio markets. 
Additionally, the Company produces eight daily radio "show prep" services 
that stations use to supplement in-house content production. In 1996, Network 
delivered these services to approximately 1,100 radio stations in exchange 
for commercial inventory or airtime, which in turn was sold to national 
network advertisers. Network also provides consulting and entertainment 
marketing services to corporate clients with music business interests. 

OPERATING STRATEGY 

   
   The Company's principal objectives are to maximize revenue and cash flow 
growth opportunities by (a) being a leading promoter and producer of live 
entertainment events and a leading provider of talent representation services 
and (b) owning and/or operating leading live entertainment venues in the 
United States. The Company's specific strategies include the following: 
    

 OWN AND/OR OPERATE LEADING LIVE ENTERTAINMENT VENUES IN NATION'S TOP 50 
MARKETS 

   
   A key component of the Company's strategy is to own and/or operate a 
network of leading live entertainment venues in the nation's top 50 markets. 
The Company believes that this strategy will enable it to (a) utilize its 
nationwide venue footprint, significant industry expertise and access to a 
large aggregate audience to secure more events and distribute content on a 
national scale, (b) sell additional 

                               90           
<PAGE>

products and maximize numerous other related revenue sources, (c) position
itself to produce national tours by leading music performers in order to
capture a greater percentage of revenues from those tours and (d) encourage
wider use by performers of the Company's venues by providing centralized access
to a nationwide network of venues. The Company believes that it controls the
largest network of venues used principally for music concerts and other live
entertainment events in the United States, with 45 venues either directly owned
or operated under lease or exclusive booking arrangements in 22 of the top 50
markets, including 11 amphitheaters in 7 of the top 10 markets.

 MAXIMIZE ANCILLARY REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES 

   The Company intends to enhance revenues and cash flows by maximizing 
revenue sources arising from and related to its leadership position in the 
live entertainment business. On a pro forma basis for the 1997 and Recent
Acquisitions, these ancillary revenues comprised approximately 19% of the
Company's music businesses' total revenues for the year ended December 31,
1997. Management believes that these related revenue sources generally have
higher margins than promotion and production revenues and include, among
others, (a) the sale of corporate sponsorship, naming and other rights,
concessions, merchandise, parking and other products and services and (b) the
sale of rights to advertise to the Company's large aggregate national audience.
Categories available for sponsorship arrangements include the naming of the
venue itself (e.g., the PNC Bank Arts Center) and the designation of "official"
event or tour sponsors, concessions providers (e.g., beer and soda), credit
card companies, phone companies, film manufacturers and radio stations, among
others. Sponsorship arrangements can provide significant additional revenues at
negligible incremental cost, and many of the Company's venues currently have no
sponsorship arrangements in many of the available categories (including naming
rights). The Company also intends to maximize related revenues by developing
and exploiting intellectual property rights associated with (a) its production
of musical concert tours and themed events (such as regional music festivals)
and (b) branded characters created as an integral part of the content,
marketing and merchandising of certain motor sports events.
    

 EXPLOIT SYNERGIES OF THE ACQUIRED BUSINESSES 

   
   The Company plans to maximize revenues by exploiting synergies among its 
various existing businesses and the Acquired Businesses. The Company believes 
that it can utilize the best business practices of the respective businesses 
acquired in the 1997 Acquisitions, the Recent Acquisitions and the Pending 
Acquisitions on a national scale. For example, the Atlanta-based regional 
Music Midtown Festival, created and promoted by Concert/Southern (one of the 
Acquired Businesses), is a highly successful music festival concept that drew 
approximately 200,000 attendees in 1997; the Company believes that it can use 
the event as a model for other markets. In addition, the Company believes that 
the radio industry trade publications of Network (another of the Acquired 
Businesses) will enable the Company to introduce new acts and new musical 
releases to radio programming directors nationwide. This exposure can enhance 
recorded music sales and, in turn, music concert attendance, particularly for 
artists having relationships with the Company. In addition, upon consummation 
of the FAME acquisition, the Company believes that it will be able to 
capitalize on the cross-marketing opportunities that may arise by virtue of 
representing team athletes while selling corporate marketing opportunities and 
the sale of corporate sponsorships and other marketing rights at its existing 
venues. 
    

 INCREASE USE OF VENUES; DIVERSIFICATION OF ACTS AND VENUES 

   Typically, a venue is not utilized for many of the dates available for 
live entertainment events in any given season. The Company believes that it 
will be able to increase the utilization of its venues through its ability to 
affect scheduling on a nationwide basis, its local knowledge, relationships 
and expertise and its presentation of a variety of additional events, 
including comedy acts, magic acts, motivational speeches, national figure 
skating and gymnastics competitions and exhibitions and bull riding 
competitions, among others. The Company believes that a diversified portfolio 
of performers, events and venues reduces reliance on the commercial success 
of any one performer, event or venue. 

                                      91
<PAGE>

 INNOVATIVE EVENT MARKETING 

   The Company plans to use innovative event marketing to increase 
admissions, sponsorship and advertising revenues, and, to a limited extent, 
average ticket prices at its venues. In particular, the Company believes that 
it can increase the profitability of its venues by offering premium ticket 
packages, including (a) season ticket packages that include amenities such as 
preferred seating, VIP parking, waiter service, private club and/or "upscale" 
concession menus, (b) subscription series packages allowing customers to 
purchase tickets for a set of performances and (c) preferred seating, such as 
box seating and VIP seating areas, which typically generate higher revenues 
per seat. Moreover, the market research and audience demographics databases 
that the Company acquired through certain of the Recent Acquisitions, when 
combined with the Company's existing audience data collection efforts, will 
permit highly-effective targeted marketing, such as direct-mail and 
subscription series campaigns, which the Company believes will increase 
ticket pre-sales and overall sales in a cost-efficient manner. 

 STRICT COST CONTROLS; NATIONALLY COORDINATED BOOKING, MARKETING & ACCOUNTING 

   The Company's senior management imposes strict financial reporting 
requirements and expense budget limitations on all of its businesses, 
enabling senior management to monitor the performance and operations of all 
of its businesses, to eliminate duplicative administrative costs and to 
realize expense savings. Moreover, the Company believes that its size will 
enable it to achieve substantial economies of scale by (a) implementing a 
nationally coordinated booking system (for contracting for and scheduling 
acts), while continuing to utilize the substantial local expertise of the 
Acquired Businesses, (b) establishing a centralized marketing team to exploit 
ancillary revenue streams on local, regional and national levels, including 
from sponsorship, advertising and merchandising opportunities, and (c) 
implementing a centralized accounting system. 

 PURSUE COMPLEMENTARY ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES 

   
   The live entertainment business is characterized by numerous participants, 
including booking agents, promoters, producers, venue owners and venue 
operators, many of which are entrepreneurial, capital-constrained local or 
regional businesses that do not achieve significant economies of scale from 
their operations. The Company believes that the fragmented nature of the 
industry presents attractive acquisition opportunities, and that its larger 
size will provide it with improved access to the capital markets that will 
give it a competitive advantage in implementing its acquisition strategy. 
Through consolidation, the Company believes that it will be better able to 
coordinate negotiations with performers and talent agents, addressing what 
the Company believes is a growing desire among performers and talent agents 
to deal with fewer, more sophisticated promoters. The Company intends to 
pursue additional strategic acquisitions of (a) amphitheater and other live 
entertainment venues, (b) local and regional promoters and producers of music 
concert, theatrical, specialized motor sports and other live entertainment 
events and (c) companies in the talent representation industry. The Company 
is currently in the process of negotiating certain additional acquisitions of 
live entertainment and related businesses; however, it has not yet entered 
into any definitive agreements and there can be no assurance that it will do 
so. 
    

PROPERTIES 

   
   The Company's executive offices are located at 650 Madison Avenue, 16th 
Floor, New York, New York 10022. Upon consummation of the Pending 
Acquisitions, in addition to the properties described in "--The Company's 
Live Entertainment Activities--Venue Operations," the Company leases office 
space in New York, New York; Austin and Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; 
Chicago, Illinois; Indianapolis, Indiana; Washington, DC; Miami, Florida; 
Gaithersburg, Maryland; Cambridge, Mansfield and Boston Massachusetts; Santa 
Monica and Encino, California; Seattle, Washington; London, England; and St. 
Louis, Missouri and owns office buildings in Burbank and San Francisco, 
California; and Mansfield, Massachusetts. These properties are generally 
leased for terms of 1 to 10 years.

EMPLOYEES 

   
   As of March 31, 1998, the Company had approximately 950 full-time 
employees. Upon consummation of the Pending Acquisitions, the Company expects 
to have approximately 1,100 full-time employees. The Company will also, from 
time to time, hire or contract for part-time or seasonal employees or 
independent contractors, although its staffing needs will vary. Management 
believes that its relations with its employees are good. A number of the 
employees to be retained by the Company are covered by collective bargaining 
agreements. See "Management." 
    

LITIGATION 

   Although the Company is involved in several suits and claims in the 
ordinary course of business, it is not currently a party to any legal 
proceeding that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its 
business, financial condition or results of operations. 

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 

   
   Marquee is a publicly-traded company that, among other things, provides 
talent representation services to professional athletes and acts as booking 
agent for tours and appearances for musicians and other entertainers. The 
Company has indicated to Marquee its potential interest in acquiring Marquee. 
Mr. Sillerman has an aggregate equity interest of approximately 9.1% in 
Marquee and Mr. Sillerman is the chairman of its board of directors, and Mr. 
Tytel is one of its directors. Upon the consummation of the acquisition of 
FAME, the Company may directly compete with Marquee in obtaining 
representation agreements with particular athletes and endorsement 
opportunities for its clients. The Company anticipates that, from time to 
time, it will enter into transactions and arrangements (particularly, booking 
arrangements) with Marquee and Marquee's clients. In any transaction or 
arrangement with Marquee, Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel are likely to have 
conflicts of interest as officers and directors of the Company. These 
transactions or arrangements will be subject to the approval of a committee 
of independent members of the boards of directors of each of the Company and 
Marquee, except that booking arrangements in the ordinary course of business 
will be subject to periodic review but not the approval of each particular 
arrangement. Marquee also acts as a promoter of various sporting events and 
sports personalities and the Company produces ice skating and gymnastics 
events that may compete with events in which Marquee is involved. See 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations--Recent Developments" and "Certain Relationships and Related 
Transactions--Potential Conflicts of Interest." 

   TSC, an entity controlled by Mr. Sillerman and in which Mr. Tytel also has 
an equity interest, provides financial consulting services to Marquee. TSC's 
services are provided by certain directors, officers and employees of the 
Company who are not separately compensated for their services by TSC. In any 
transaction, arrangement or competition with Marquee, Messrs. Sillerman and 
Tytel are likely to have conflicts of interest between their duties as 
officers and directors of the Company, on the one hand, and their duties as 
directors of Marquee and their interests in TSC and Marquee, on the other 
hand. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Triathlon Fees." 
    

   In addition, prior to the consummation of the SFX Merger, Mr. Sillerman 
and other members of the Company's management team will have management 
obligations to both SFX Broadcasting and the Company that may cause them to 
have conflicts of interest. See "Management" and "Certain Relationships and 
Related Transactions--Potential Conflicts of Interest." 

   Pursuant to the employment agreement entered into between Brian Becker and 
the Company in connection with the acquisition of PACE, Mr. Becker has the 
option, exercisable within 15 days after the second anniversary of the 
consummation of the PACE Acquisition, to purchase the Company's then existing 
motor sports line of business (or, if that line of business has been sold, 
the Company's then existing theatrical line of business) at its then fair 
market value. Mr. Becker's option may present a conflict of interest in his 
role as a director of the Company. See "Management--Employment Agreements and 
Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors." 


                               93           
<PAGE>

SEASONALITY 

   
   The Company's operations and revenues are largely seasonal in nature, with 
generally higher revenue generated in the second and third quarters of the 
year. For example, on a pro forma basis for the 1997 Acquisitions, the 
Company generated approximately 68% of its revenues in the second and third 
quarters for the twelve months ended December 31, 1997. The Company's outdoor 
venues are primarily utilized in the summer months and do not generate 
substantial revenue in the late fall, winter and early spring. Similarly, the 
musical concerts that the Company promotes largely occur in the second and 
third quarters. To the extent that the Company's entertainment marketing and 
consulting relate to musical concerts, they also predominantly generate 
revenues in the second and third quarters. Therefore, the seasonality of the 
Company's business causes (and, upon consummation of the Pending 
Acquisitions, will probably continue to cause) a significant variation in the 
Company's quarterly operating results. These variations in demand could have 
a material adverse effect on the timing of the Company's cash flows and, 
therefore, on its ability to service its obligations with respect to its 
indebtedness. However, the Company believes that this variation may be 
somewhat offset with the acquisition of typically non-summer seasonal
businesses in the Recent Acquisitions, such as motor sports (which is
winter-seasonal) and Touring Broadway Shows (which typically tour between
September and May). See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
    

COMPETITION 

   
   Competition in the live entertainment industry is intense, and competition 
is fragmented among a wide variety of entities. The Company competes on a 
local, regional and national basis with a number of large venue owners and 
entertainment promoters for the hosting, booking, promoting and producing of 
music concerts, theatrical shows, motor sports events and other live 
entertainment events. Moreover, the Company's marketing and consulting 
operations compete with advertising agencies and other marketing 
organizations. The Company and the businesses to be acquired in the Pending 
Acquisitions compete not only with other live entertainment events, including 
sporting events and theatrical presentations, but also with non-live forms of 
entertainment, such as television, radio and motion pictures. The talent 
representation industry is also highly competitive. The Company competes with 
both larger and smaller entities. A number of the Company's competitors have 
substantially greater resources than the Company. Certain of the Company's 
competitors may also operate on a less leveraged basis, and have greater 
operating and financial flexibility, than the Company. In addition, many of 
these competitors also have long standing relationships with performers, 
producers, and promoters and may offer other services that are not provided 
by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to 
compete successfully in this market or against these competitors. 
    

REGULATORY MATTERS 

   
   The business of the Company is not generally subject to material 
governmental regulation. However, if the Company seeks to acquire or 
construct new venue operations, its ability to do so will be subject to 
extensive local, state and federal governmental licensing, approval and 
permit requirements, including, among other things, approvals of state and 
local land-use and environmental authorities, building permits, zoning 
permits and liquor licenses. Significant acquisitions may also be subject to 
the requirements of the HSR Act. Other types of licenses, approvals and 
permits from governmental or quasi-governmental agencies might also be 
required for other opportunities that the Company may pursue in the future. 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the 
licenses, approvals and permits it may require from time to time in order to 
operate its business.

                 AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE PENDING ACQUISITIONS 

   
   The following is a summary of the material terms of the agreements related 
to the Pending Acquisitions. This summary is not intended to be complete and 
is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the agreements, 
copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the Company's Registration 
Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-50079) filed with the Commission and are 
incorporated herein by reference. The Company will provide without charge to 
each person to whom this Prospectus is delivered, upon written or oral 
request of any such person, a copy of any or all documents incorporated 
herein by reference (other than exhibits to such documents which are not 
specifically incorporated by reference into such documents). Requests for 
such documents should be directed to SFX Entertainment, Inc., 650 Madison 
Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Investor Relations, 
telephone (212) 838-3100. 

FAME ACQUISITION 

   The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire FAME (the "FAME 
Agreement") pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the outstanding 
capital stock of FAME for a total purchase price of approximately $82.9 
million (including $7.9 million which the Company anticipates paying in order 
to reimburse the FAME sellers for certain taxes which they will be subject 
to) and the issuance of 1.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock (which, 
based upon the last reported sales price of the Class A Common Stock on May 4, 
1998, would have a value of approximately $40.3 million). 

   The FAME Agreement provides for payments by the Company to the FAME 
sellers of additional amounts up to $15.0 million in equal annual 
installments over 5 years contingent on the achievement of certain EBITDA 
targets. If FAME's EBITDA (as defined in the FAME Agreement) exceeds 105% of 
specified targets in each of the years 1998 through 2002, the Company is 
required to pay the FAME sellers $3.0 million (an "Earn-out Payment") within 
120 days after the end of the year to which the payment relates. If EBITDA 
exceeds 75% but is less than 105% of the target EBITDA, a portion of the 
Earn-out Payment will be paid to one of the FAME sellers for such year. In 
any year that FAME's EBITDA is less than 105% of the target EBITDA for that 
year, Mr. Falk may direct that FAME's EBITDA in excess of 105% of the target 
EBITDA for one or more prior years be added to the current year's EBITDA (a 
"Carry Forward Amount") for purposes of paying the Earn-out Payment for the 
current year (reducing such Earn-out Payment by any payment made in a prior 
year with respect to the Carry Forward Amount). In any year FAME's EBITDA is 
greater than 105% of the target EBITDA for that year, Mr. Falk may direct 
that any portion of any excess of EBITDA for any year over 105% of the target 
for that year (a "Carry Back Amount") be added to the EBITDA for any prior 
year for purposes of paying the Earn-out Payment for such prior year (which 
amount will be paid as if it were due with respect to the current year). Any 
EBITDA in excess of 105% of the target EBITDA for any year may be used as the 
basis for a Carry Forward Amount or a Carry Back Amount, but no portion may 
be used as both. Mr. Falk is entitled to 50% of the Earn-out Payments. 

   The FAME Agreement also provides for additional payments by the Company if 
FAME's EBITDA performance exceed the targets by certain amounts from 1998 to 
2002. During 1998 to 2000, the Earn-out Payment will be increased if FAME's 
EBITDA exceeds 110%, 125% or 150% of the target and the increase will be 
equal to 10%, 15% or 20%, respectively, of the excess of EBITDA for that year 
over the corresponding target EBITDA. During 2001 and 2002, the Earn-out 
Payment will be increased if FAME's EBITDA exceeds 125% or 150% of the target 
and the increase will be equal to 15% or 20%, respectively, of the excess of 
EBITDA for that year over the corresponding target EBITDA. Mr. Falk is 
entitled to one-third of such increases to any Earn-out Payment as described 
in the foregoing paragraph. 

   The FAME Agreement also provides that, if in a transaction or series of 
related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of FAME or 50% 
or more of the voting power or equity interests of FAME is transferred to any 
person that is not a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (a "Business 
Disposition"), the Company will be obligated to pay in lieu of an Earn-out 
Payment, certain amounts on the date of consummation of such Business 
Disposition. If a Business Disposition is consummated on or prior to the 
first anniversary of the closing of the FAME Acquisition, the Company will be 
obligated to pay one-third of the first $45.0 million of disposition profit 
(as defined in the FAME Agreement) and 10% 
    

                               96           
<PAGE>
   
of any disposition profit in excess of that amount. If a Business Disposition 
is consummated thereafter and prior to the end of 2002, the Company will be 
obligated to pay any Earn-out Payments earned but unpaid and the greater of 
(a) the average Earn-out Payment made or to be made for any completed fiscal 
years since the closing of the FAME Acquisition, multiplied by the number of 
years remaining until the end of 2002 and (b) 10% of any disposition profit. 
Mr. Falk will be entitled to 50% of any payments made by the Company upon the 
occurrence of a Business Disposition. 
    

 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

   
   Beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of the FAME Acquisition, 
the FAME sellers have certain demand and "piggy-back" registration rights 
with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 
FAME Agreement. However, pursuant to the Rescission Offer, the Class A Common 
Stock to be issued to the FAME sellers will become (to the extent such 
sellers do not exercise their rescission rights) freely tradeable in the 
public market, subject to applicable limitations on affiliates. 

 INDEMNIFICATION 

   Pursuant to the FAME Agreement, the FAME sellers agree to indemnify, 
defend and hold harmless the Company and its respective officers, directors, 
stockholders, employees and agents after the closing of the FAME Acquisition 
from and against, among other things, any liability or expense arising or 
resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of certain representations and 
warranties. The Company will not be entitled to any such indemnity unless the 
aggregate of all losses incurred by the Company exceeds $100,000 (other than 
for breach of certain representations and warranties relating to the capital 
stock of FAME for which there is no such threshold), in which event the FAME 
sellers will be responsible for all such losses, provided however, that the 
aggregate liability of the FAME sellers shall not exceed $12.5 million. The 
Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the FAME sellers after 
the closing of the FAME Acquisition from and against, among other things, any 
liability or expense arising or resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of 
any representation or warranty contained in the FAME Agreement. 

 CLOSING CONDITIONS; TERMINATION 

   The closing of the FAME Acquisition is subject to certain closing 
conditions, including a requirement that the employment agreements entered 
into by the Company with certain executive officers of FAME continue to be in 
effect and that certain stock appreciation rights with respect to the capital 
stock of FAME and a certain shareholders agreement among the FAME sellers be 
cancelled. The FAME Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent or by the 
Company or Mr. Falk if any closing condition for the benefit of the Company 
or the FAME sellers, respectively, has not been timely met or has become 
incapable of fulfilment (unless such condition is waived), or if the FAME 
Acquisition has not closed by July 15, 1998, unless the sole reason that the 
closing has not occurred by that time is related to certain matters under the 
HSR Act (including the failure of the waiting period under the HSR Act to 
have expired or been terminated), in which case the FAME Agreement may not be 
terminated by the Company or Mr. Falk unless the closing has not occurred on 
or before September 15, 1998. 

 RESCISSION OFFER 

   The shares issued in connection with the FAME acquisition were not 
registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws, as may have 
been required. The Company has made a Rescission Offer with respect to this 
transaction which could result in the unwinding of the FAME Acquisition. The 
acceptance or rejection of the Rescission Offer is not a closing condition of 
the FAME Agreement. 

 FALK EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

   On April 29, 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement with 
Mr. Falk (the "Falk Employment Agreement"). The Falk Employment Agreement has 
a term of five years commencing as of the closing of the FAME Acquisition. 
The Company will employ Mr. Falk as the Chairman of FAME and the Company's 
Sports Group and as a Member of the Office of Chairman of the Company and 
will appoint him a Director of the Company. Pursuant to the Falk Employment 
Agreement, Mr. Falk will direct the day to day operations of FAME and the 
Company's Sports Group and any other sports businesses 
    

                               97           

<PAGE>
   
acquired by the Company. The Falk Employment Agreement provides for an annual 
base salary of $315,000, reviewed annually and increased (but in no event 
decreased) by a minimum of 4.0% per year. In addition, Mr. Falk will be 
considered for an annual bonus consistent with the bonuses given to other 
senior executives of the Company. Mr. Falk will receive an option to purchase 
100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the 
closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the closing date of the FAME 
Acquisition (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances). Such option 
will fully vest on the first anniversary of the closing. In addition, the 
Company has agreed to make annual stock option grants to Mr. Falk of at least 
30,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the first four years of the Falk 
Employment Agreement. 

   The Company may terminate Mr. Falk's employment at any time with or 
without cause (as defined in the Falk Employment Agreement). In the event 
that the Falk Employment Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a 
voluntary termination or termination for cause, all stock options granted 
pursuant to the Falk Employment Agreement will immediately vest and become 
exercisable and any remaining stock options to be granted pursuant to the 
Falk Employment Agreement will immediately be granted and will vest and 
become exercisable upon grant. In such case, the Company will also be 
obligated to pay Mr. Falk his (a) base salary and (b) annual bonuses at a 
rate equal to 50% of his base salary through the original term of the Falk 
Employment Agreement, as well as certain additional benefits. In addition, in 
the event of a change in control (as defined in the Falk Employment 
Agreement), the Company may be required to pay a portion of certain taxes 
incurred by Mr. Falk as a result of the change of control. 

   For one year following the termination of the Falk Employment Agreement 
for cause (as defined in the Falk Employment Agreement) or by Mr. Falk, 
except in the event of a constructive termination event (as defined in the 
Falk Employment Agreement), Mr. Falk has agreed that (i) he will not become 
employed in any capacity by, or become an officer, director, shareholder or 
general partner of any entity that competes with any material business of 
FAME as conducted as of the closing date of the FAME Acquisition and (ii) he 
will not solicit any employee of the Company or any entities that are 
directly or indirectly controlled by the Company to leave such employment. 

DON LAW ACQUISITION 

   The Company has also entered into the Don Law Agreement pursuant to which 
the Company will acquire certain assets of Don Law for an aggregate purchase 
price of $90.0 million (subject to adjustment based on the working capital of 
Don Law as described more fully below), including the repayment of $10.0 
million in debt. The Company may at its option pay up to $16.0 million of the 
purchase price in shares of Class A Common Stock at a negotiated per share 
price of approximately $30.09. At the closing, the Company will have the 
option to either include or exclude the lease on the Harborlights Pavilion 
(the ''Harborlights") and related assets (collectively, the "Harborlights 
Assets") from the Don Law Acquisition. If the Harborlights Assets are so 
excluded, the purchase price will be reduced by $8.0 million. 

 EXCLUDED ASSETS 

   Certain assets of Don Law are to be excluded from the Don Law Acquisition, 
including (a) Don Law's ownership interests in certain nightclubs in Boston, 
Massachusetts (as long as such nightclubs do not materially compete with the 
Company's efforts to attract performing artists), (b) the name "Blackstone", 
(c) the name "Don Law", which the Company will have the right to use during 
the term of the employment agreement to be executed between the Company and 
Donald F. Law, Jr. at the closing, (d) the land and improvements located in 
Mansfield, Massachusetts that have been designated for a waterpark facility 
and (e) a lease for certain office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; NON-COMPETE 

   As a condition to closing, the Don Law seller and the Company will enter 
into an agreement pursuant to which the assets to be acquired in the Don Law 
Acquisition, with certain exceptions, will be subject to a right of first 
offer and refusal by the members of Don Law if the Company elects to sell 
such assets within two years after the closing of the Don Law Acquisition. In 
addition, the Company and Mr. Law have 
    

                               98           

<PAGE>
   
agreed to enter into a non-competition agreement at the closing to restrict 
employees of the Company and its affiliates that are responsible for the day 
to day operation or management of the concert promotion business in the New 
York metropolitan area from participating in the management of the assets 
acquired in the Don Law Acquisition. The agreement also imposes certain 
restrictions on transfers of the Company's assets (including the assets to 
acquired in the Don Law Acquisition) in Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island 
to such employees. 

 TERMINATION 

   Both parties will have the right to terminate the Don Law Agreement if the 
closing has not occurred by July 1, 1998 or such other date as mutually 
agreed; provided however, if Don Law seller has not entered into a new lease 
with respect to the Harborlights on terms and conditions acceptable to the 
Company, the Company may extend the termination date to August 1, 1998. 
    

 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

   
   If the Company issues any Class A Common Stock as part of the purchase 
price, then the Don Law Agreement provides that the parties will enter into a 
registration rights agreement providing for certain demand and piggy-back 
registration rights and a twelve month lock-up period. 

 INDEMNITY 

   The Don Law seller, including its members (pro rata according to their 
respective ownership interests in Don Law), and the Company will indemnify 
each other from all costs and expenses with respect to any breach of any 
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation pursuant to the Don Law 
Agreement. In most cases, each party will be obligated to indemnify the other 
to the extent that the other party has indemnifiable expenses in excess of 
$100,000. Each party's indemnity obligations generally terminate after one 
year. The Don Law seller's indemnity obligation is generally limited to 5% of 
the purchase price (as adjusted), but in no event in excess of the purchase 
price (as adjusted) with respect to claims relating to title to assets and 
excluded assets. Indemnity obligations of the Don Law seller and its members 
are payable in cash and shares of Class A Common Stock (issued at fair market 
value) in specified proportions. 

 RESCISSION OFFER 

   The shares to be issued in connection with the Don Law acquisition were 
not registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws, as may have 
been required. The Company has made a Rescission Offer with respect to this 
transaction which may result in the unwinding of the Don Law Acquisition. The 
acceptance or rejection of the Rescission Offer is not a closing condition of 
the Don Law Acquisition. 

 DON LAW EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

   The closing is also conditioned upon the execution by the Company and Mr. 
Law of a five-year employment agreement providing for an initial annual 
salary of $300,000 and a grant (on the closing date and the first through 
fifth anniversaries of the closing date) of stock options to purchase an 
aggregate of 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. 

AVALON ACQUISITION 

   The Company has entered into two binding letters of intent to acquire all 
of the outstanding equity interests in Avalon for a purchase price of $27.0 
million in cash (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances). In
addition, the Company will be obligated to make additional payments to 
reimburse the Avalon seller's third party out of pocket expenses incurred in 
the development of the Camarillo Creek Amphitheater (expected to be 
approximately $400,000). The Company may also be obligated to pay an 
    

                               99           

<PAGE>
   
additional $1.0 million to the Avalon sellers if the Camarillo Creek 
Amphitheater has been completed pursuant to certain budget projections and 
the production of entertainment events at the site has commenced by May 15, 
1998. The definitive agreement will provide for customary indemnification 
arrangements. 

OAKDALE ACQUISITION 

   The Company has entered into the Oakdale Agreement pursuant to which the 
Company will acquire certain assets of Oakdale, including the Oakdale 
Theater, a new 4,800 seat facility located in Wallingford, Connecticut, for a 
purchase price of $11.9 million in cash. In addition, the Company will be 
obligated to pay Oakdale an additional payment on March 30, 2000 if the 
combined EBITDA for the Oakdale Theater and Meadows for 1999 exceeds $5.5 
million (subject to adjustment for the Operating Deficit (as defined in the 
Oakdale Agreement) of the Oakdale Theater). In such case the Company will be 
obligated to pay Oakdale between 5.0 and 5.8 times the amount of such excess. 

 SUBJECT RIGHTS; CLOSING CONDITIONS 

   The Oakdale Acquisition is subject to the rights and restrictions of the 
Financial Assistance Agreement, dated December 21, 1995 (the "FAA"), between 
the Connecticut Development Authority (the "CDA") and Oakdale Ventures, Inc. 
and the Use Agreement, dated December 21, 1995 (the "Use Agreement"), among 
the CDA, Oakdale, and Oakdale Ventures. The closing of the Oakdale 
Acquisition is conditioned upon obtaining the CDA Consent (as defined in the 
Oakdale Agreement) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and 
containing certain agreed upon terms, including the following: (a) a 
certification with respect to the FAA and the performance of certain 
obligations thereunder; (b) a consent with regard to the transactions 
contemplated pursuant to the Oakdale Agreement; and (c) certain amendments to 
the FAA. 

 INDEMNIFICATION 

   The Oakdale Agreement provides that each party will indemnify the other 
for damages arising from breaches of any of their respective representations, 
warranties and covenants contained in the Oakdale Agreement. Oakdale's 
indemnity obligation will be limited to the amount received by Oakdale 
pursuant to the Oakdale Agreement for a period of two years from closing. In 
addition, the Company and Oakdale have also agreed to enter into an 
environmental agreement in which Oakdale will make representations and 
warranties to the Company concerning the operation of the premises upon which 
the Oakdale Theater is located in material compliance with all applicable 
environmental laws and in which Oakdale will agree to unconditionally 
indemnify the Company from and against all costs and expenses relating to any 
action required to be taken with respect to any such environmental laws for a 
period of six years. 

 TERMINATION 

   The Oakdale Agreement may be terminated if the closing of the Oakdale 
Acquisition does not occur by May 11, 1998 (provided that the Company may 
elect prior to such date to extend the closing date to June 11, 1998). In 
addition, if the closing does not occur but for the Company's breach of any 
material representation, warranty, covenant or condition contained in the 
Oakdale Agreement, then the Company will be obligated to pay the Oakdale 
sellers liquidated damages in the amount of $1.6 million. 

 LEASE AND OWNERSHIP OF REAL ESTATE 

   At the closing, the Company and the sellers of Oakdale will enter into a 
non-recourse secured loan agreement (the "Mortgage Loan"), pursuant to which 
the Company will loan the Oakdale sellers approximately $11.4 million, a 
portion of the proceeds of which will be used to repay all outstanding senior 
mortgage indebtedness on all real estate owned by Oakdale. The loan will bear 
interest at an annual interest rate of approximately 5.7% and will have a 
term of fifteen years. The loan will be secured by a first priority 
non-recourse mortgage on certain parcels of real estate used in the 
operations of the Oakdale Theater. In addition, the Company and Oakdale will 
enter into a master lease with respect to such real estate which will provide 
for an annual rent of $900,000 and a purchase agreement which will 
    

                               100           

<PAGE>
   
provide that the Company will purchase such real estate on the fifteenth 
anniversary of the closing of the transaction for approximately $15.4 
million. Amounts outstanding under the Mortgage Loan will be credited against 
such purchase price. The real estate purchase is conditioned on the 
assumption by the Company of the FAA and the Use Agreement. 

EMI ACQUISITION 

   On May 1, 1998, the Company entered into the EMI Agreement to acquire 
approximately an 80% equity interest in EMI for an aggregate purchase price 
of $8.5 million in cash. In addition, the Company has agreed to make a 
loan to the EMI sellers in an amount equal to 20% of certain taxes which the 
EMI sellers will be subject to as a result of the transaction. The Company 
currently anticipates the amount of such loan will be approximately $750,000. 
The loan will bear interest at a rate of 10% and, subject to certain 
conditions, will be repaid when the EMI sellers sell their equity interests 
in EMI. 

 CLOSING CONDITIONS; TERMINATION 

   The parties have the right to terminate the EMI Agreement if the closing 
has not occurred by June 30, 1998. The EMI Agreement provides that the 
Company and the EMI sellers will enter into a shareholders agreement 
reasonably satisfactory to the parties and a management services agreement. 
The Company expects that the management services agreement will provide that 
the EMI sellers will be entitled to compensation for providing services 
pursuant to such agreement in an amount equal to 20% of EMI's adjusted EBDA 
(which will be defined in the management services agreement). 

 INDEMNITY 

   The Company and the EMI sellers have agreed to indemnify each other for, 
among other things, any costs or expenses with respect to any breach of a 
representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation under the EMI 
Agreement. The indemnity obligations of the EMI sellers is subject to certain 
limitations, including a limitation of approximately $4.3 million on the 
amount of the sellers liability with respect to a breach of any 
representation or warranty and to approximately $8.5 million in all other 
cases.

                                  MANAGEMENT 

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS 

   
   Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, the 
business of the Company is managed by the Board. The Board conducts its 
business through meetings of the board and its committees. The standing 
committees of the Board are described below. 

   The By-laws of the Company authorize the Board to fix the number of 
directors from time to time. The number of directors of the Company is 
currently ten; however, it is anticipated that upon consummation of the FAME 
Acquisition, the number of directors will be increased to eleven. All 
directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders following 
their election or until their successors are elected and qualified. Officers 
of the Company are to be elected annually by the Board and serve at the 
Board's discretion. In the election of directors, the holders of the Class A 
Common Stock will be entitled by class vote, exclusive of all other 
stockholders, to elect two-sevenths (rounded up) of the directors to serve on 
the Board, with each share of the Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote. 

   Currently, the Board consists of the individuals who are currently serving 
as directors of SFX Broadcasting and Brian Becker who was appointed to the 
Board upon the consummation of the PACE Acquisition. In addition, it is 
anticipated that upon the consummation of the FAME Acquisition, Mr. Falk, the 
Chairman and a founder of FAME, will be appointed as a Director and a Member 
of the Office of the Chairman of the Company. All of the individuals who 
currently serve as directors of SFX Broadcasting will cease to be directors 
of SFX Broadcasting at the time of the consummation of the SFX Merger. If the 
SFX Merger Agreement is terminated, Messrs. Dugan, Kramer and O'Grady have 
indicated that they will promptly resign from their positions as directors of 
the Company, and the Board will appoint three new independent directors, to 
serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company. 

   All of the executive officers of the Company other than Mr. Becker (the 
"Executive Officers") are currently responsible for the management of SFX 
Broadcasting. It is anticipated that such Executive Officers will enter into 
five year employment agreements with the Company that will be similar to 
their existing employment agreements with SFX Broadcasting (except Mr. 
Armstrong who will no longer serve as an executive officer of the Company, 
effective as of September 1, 1998, in order to continue to pursue a career in 
radio broadcasting). See "--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with 
Certain Officers and Directors." These employment agreements will become 
effective immediately at the time of consummation of the SFX Merger. Prior to 
the consummation of the SFX Merger, the Executive Officers who currently 
serve as officers of SFX Broadcasting will continue to devote as much time as 
they deem necessary to conduct the operations of the Company consistent with 
their obligations to SFX Broadcasting. If the SFX Merger Agreement is 
terminated for any reason, such Executive Officers will continue to perform 
services for both SFX Broadcasting and the Company until SFX Broadcasting is 
able to hire suitable replacements for these Executive Officers. If the SFX 
Merger Agreement is terminated, SFX Broadcasting intends to seek another 
buyer for its radio broadcasting business. 

   The Company and Messrs. Sillerman, Ferrel, Tytel and Benson have reached 
agreements in principle that they will continue to serve as officers and 
directors of the Company. See "Risk Factors--Dependence on Key Personnel." 
The following table sets forth information as to the directors and the 
executive officers of the Company:

Broadcasting , whether or not vested. The issuance was approved to allow the

manner to holders of SFX Broadcasting's Class A common stock. In connection 
with this issuance, Messrs. Kramer, O'Grady and Dugan received 13,000, 13,000 
and 3,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively. 
    

 STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE

and other individuals performing substantial services to the Company may be

 STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN 

   The Company's 1998 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, provides for

of the plan is to provide additional incentive to officers and employees of 
the Company. Each option granted under the plan will be designated at the 

                               105           
<PAGE>
time of grant as either an "incentive stock option" or a "non-qualified stock 
option." The plan will be administered by the Stock Option Committee. The 
Board has approved the issuance of stock options exercisable for an aggregate 
of 1,002,500 shares under the plan. See "--Employment Agreements and 
Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors." 

 COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS 

   
   Directors employed by the Company will receive no compensation for 
meetings they attend. Each director not employed by the Company will receive 
a fee of $1,500 for each Board meeting he attends, in addition to 
reimbursement of travel expenses. Each non-employee director who is a member 
of a committee will also receive $1,500 for each committee meeting he attends 
that is not held in conjunction with a Board meeting. If the committee 
meeting occurs in conjunction with a Board meeting, each committee member 
will receive an additional $500 for each committee meeting he attends. In 
addition, the Company will pay each director an annual retainer of $30,000, 
of which not less than one-half will be paid in cash and one-half will be 
paid in shares of the Class A Common Stock. 
    

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 

   The Company did not pay any compensation to the current Executive Officers 
in 1997. The Company anticipates that during 1998 its most highly compensated 
executive officers will be Messrs. Sillerman, Ferrel, Becker and Tytel. See 
"--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and 
Directors." 

   It is anticipated that compensation for the Executive Officers and for 
other executives will consist principally of base salary, an annual incentive 
bonus opportunity and long-term stock-based incentive awards. All direct and 
indirect remuneration of all Executive Officers and certain other executives 
will be approved by the Compensation and Stock Option Committees. 

   
   The Company has granted shares of Class A Common Stock to holders as of 
the Spin-Off record date of stock options or SARs of SFX Broadcasting, 
whether or not vested. See "Certain Relationships and Related 
Transactions--Issuance of Stock to Holders of SFX Broadcasting's Options and 
SARs." 
    

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS WITH CERTAIN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS 

   
   The Company anticipates that it will enter into employment agreements with 
all of the Executive Officers prior to the consummation of the SFX Merger 
(except for Mr. Armstrong), and that the employment agreements (except for 
Mr. Becker's employment agreement which is described below) will become 
effective immediately after the consummation of the SFX Merger. It is 
anticipated that the employment agreements will provide for annual base 
salaries of $500,000 for Mr. Sillerman, $350,000 for Mr. Ferrel, $300,000 for 
Mr. Tytel and $235,000 for Mr. Benson. Each executive officer is expected to 
receive a bonus to be determined annually in the discretion of the Board, on 
the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. Each employment agreement 
will be for a term of five years, and unless terminated or not renewed by the 
Company or the employee, the term will continue thereafter on a year-to-year 
basis on the same terms existing at the time of renewal. It is anticipated 
that each of the agreements will provide for payments and other benefits to 
be mutually agreed upon, if the employee's employment terminates following a 
change of control. 

   In connection with entering into the employment agreements, the Company 
sold the following restricted stock: 500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock 
to Mr. Sillerman, 150,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Mr. Ferrel, 
80,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to Mr. Tytel and 10,000 shares of Class 
A Common Stock to Mr. Benson. The shares of restricted stock were sold to the 
officers at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. In addition, the Board (on 
the review and recommendation of the Compensation Committee) also approved 
the issuance, effective upon consummation of the Spin-Off, of the following 
stock options exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock: options to 
purchase 120,000 shares to Mr. Sillerman, options to purchase 50,000 shares 
to Mr. Ferrel, options to purchase 40,000 shares to Mr. Armstrong, options to 
purchase 25,000 shares to Mr. Tytel, options to purchase 10,000 shares to Mr. 
Benson and options to purchase 2,500 shares to each of Messrs. Kramer, 
O'Grady, and Dugan. The options will vest over three years and will have an 
exercise price of $5.50 per share. See "Risk Factors--Future Charges to 
Earnings." 
    

                               106           
<PAGE>
   Until the closing date of the SFX Merger, the Executive Officers (other 
than Mr. Becker) will continue to be employed by SFX Broadcasting (at SFX 
Broadcasting's expense), but will devote as much time as they deem reasonably 
necessary, consistent with their obligations to SFX Broadcasting, in support 
of the Company on a basis consistent with the time and scope of services that 
they devoted to the live entertainment business prior to the Spin-Off. 
Effective immediately prior to the consummation of the SFX Merger, the 
Company will assume all obligations arising under any employment agreement or 
arrangement (written or oral) between SFX Broadcasting or any of its 
subsidiaries and the Executive Officers, other than the rights, if any, of 
the Executive Officers to receive options at the time of their termination 
following a change of control of SFX Broadcasting (as defined in their 
respective employment agreements) and all existing rights to indemnification. 
The Company will assume the obligation to make change of control payments 
under Messrs. Sillerman's, Ferrel's and Benson's existing employment 
agreements with SFX Broadcasting of approximately $3.3 million, $1.5 million 
and $0.2 million, respectively. The Company will also indemnify SFX 
Broadcasting and its subsidiaries from all obligations arising under the 
assumed employment agreements or arrangements (except in respect of the 
termination options and all existing rights to indemnification). 

 BECKER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

   As a condition to the execution of the PACE Agreement, the Company entered 
into an employment agreement with the Chief Executive Officer and President 
of PACE, Mr. Brian Becker (the "Becker Employment Agreement"). The Becker 
Employment Agreement has a term of five years commencing on February 25, 
1998. Mr. Becker will continue as President and Chief Executive Officer of 
PACE. In addition, for the term of his employment, Mr. Becker will serve as 
(a) a member of the Company's Office of the Chairman, (b) an Executive Vice 
President of the Company and (c) a director of each of PACE and the Company 
(subject to shareholder approval). During the term of his employment, Mr. 
Becker will receive (a) a base salary of $294,000 for the first year, 
$313,760 for each of the second and third years and $334,310 for each of the 
fourth and fifth years and (b) an annual bonus in the discretion of the 
Board. 

   The Company has agreed that it will not sell either the theatrical or 
motor sports line of business of PACE prior February 25, 1999. If the Company 
sells either line of business after the first anniversary, it has agreed not 
to sell the other line of business prior to 15 days past the second 
anniversary of the PACE Acquisition. The Becker Employment Agreement provides 
that Mr. Becker will have a right of first refusal (the "Becker Right of 
First Refusal") if, between the first and second anniversary of the PACE 
Acquisition, the Company receives a bona fide offer from a third party to 
purchase all or substantially all of either the theatrical or motor sports 
lines of business at a price equal to 95% of the proposed purchase price. The 
Fifth Year Put Option (as defined in the PACE acquisition agreement) will 
also be immediately exercisable as of such closing. If that Mr. Becker does 
not exercise his right of first refusal and either of the theatrical or motor 
sports line of business is sold, then he will have an identical right of 
first refusal for the sale of the remaining line of business beginning on the 
second anniversary of the PACE Acquisition and ending six months thereafter. 
Mr. Becker will be paid an administrative fee of $100,000 if he does not 
exercise his right of first refusal and the Company does not consummate the 
proposed sale. Mr. Becker would thereafter retain all rights to the Becker 
Right of First Refusal. 

   Beginning on the second anniversary of the date of the Becker Employment 
Agreement (December 12, 1999), Mr. Becker will have the option (the "Becker 
Second Year Option"), exercisable within 15 days thereafter, to elect one or 
more of the following: to (a) put any stock or portion thereof (including any 
vested and unvested options to purchase stock) and/or any compensation to be 
paid to Mr. Becker by the Company; (b) become a consultant to the Company for 
no more than an average of 20 hours per week for the remainder of the term 
and with the same level of compensation set forth in the Becker Employment 
Agreement; or (c) acquire PACE's motor sports line of business (or, if that 
line of business was previously sold, PACE's theatrical line of business) at 
its fair market value as determined in the Becker Employment Agreement. 

   The Becker Employment Agreement may be terminated (a) by the Company for 
Cause (as defined in the Becker Employment Agreement), (b) by the Company for 
Mr. Becker's death or permanent disability or (c) by Mr. Becker at any time 
for any reason or upon exercise of the Becker Second Year Option. 

                               107           
<PAGE>
   In addition, Mr. Becker's employment may be terminated by the Company any 
time in the Company's sole discretion or by Mr. Becker at any time following, 
among other things, (a) failure to elect or re-elect Mr. Becker as a director 
of the Company, (b) a reduction in Mr. Becker's base salary or in the formula 
to calculate his bonus, (c) discontinuation of Mr. Becker's participation in 
any stock option, bonus or other employee benefit plan, (d) prior to two 
years and fifteen days after consummation of the PACE Acquisition, the sale 
of either the motor sports or theatrical line of business to any person other 
than Mr. Becker (unless Mr. Becker elected not to exercise the Becker Right 
of First Refusal (as defined below)), (e) the sale of all or substantially 
all of the assets of PACE, (f) a change of control of the Company or (g) the 
failure by the Company to contribute any acquired business (which derives a 
majority of its revenues from either a theatrical or motor sports line of 
business) to PACE. If Mr. Becker's employment is terminated, then, among 
other things, (a) for the period from the date of termination until the fifth 
anniversary of the closing of the PACE Acquisition, the Company must pay Mr. 
Becker the base salary and any bonus to which he would otherwise be entitled 
and Mr. Becker will be entitled to participate in any and all of the 
profit-sharing, retirement income, stock purchase, savings and executive 
compensation plans to the same extent he would otherwise have been entitled 
to participate, (b) for a period of one year after the date of termination, 
the Company will maintain Mr. Becker's life, accident, medical, health care 
and disability programs or arrangements and provide Mr. Becker with use of 
the same office and related facilities and (c) if the termination occurs 
prior to two years and 15 days after consummation of the PACE Acquisition, 
Mr. Becker will retain the Becker Second Year Option and the Becker Right of 
First Refusal. 

   Throughout the term of his employment and for a period of 18 months 
thereafter, Mr. Becker has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, engage in 
any activity or business that is directly competitive with the Company (or 
its affiliates) or solicit any of its employees to leave the Company (or its 
affiliates). However, these restrictions will not apply if Mr. Becker 
exercises his rights, or the Company breaches its obligations, with respect 
to the Becker Right of First Refusal or the Becker Second Year Option 

   The Company has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold Mr. Becker harmless 
to the maximum extent permitted by law against expenses, including attorney's 
fees, incurred in connection with the fact that Mr. Becker is or was an 
officer, employee or director of the Company or any of its affiliates. 

   
   In addition, the Company has entered into an employment agreement with 
David Falk which will be effective upon the consummation of the FAME 
Acquisition. See "Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions." 
    

 POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO DELSENER/SLATER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS 

   Messrs. Delsener and Slater and the Company are in the process of 
negotiating amendments to their employment agreements to reflect, among other 
things, the changes to the Company's business as a result of the Recent 
Acquisitions and the Spin-Off. Messrs. Delsener and Slater have agreed in 
principle to waive any rights to repurchase (or to offer to repurchase) 
Concerts, and any rights to receive a portion of the proceeds of a Return 
Event (as defined in their employment agreements) that they might otherwise 
have in connection with the SFX Merger or the Spin-Off. However, there can be 
no assurance that Messrs. Delsener and Slater will waive these rights on 
terms acceptable to the Company or that, if not so waived, neither Mr. 
Delsener nor Mr. Slater will exercise these rights. These rights may continue 
to apply in certain circumstances to transactions after, or unrelated to, the 
Spin-Off and the SFX Merger. The Company also expects, in connection with the 
foregoing, to negotiate mutually satisfactory amendments to certain of 
Messrs. Delsener's and Slater's compensation arrangements, including bonus 
and profit-sharing provisions. See "Risk Factors--Rights to Purchase Certain 
Subsidiaries" and "Certain Relationships and Related 
Transactions--Delsener/Slater Employment Agreements." 

   The Company and SFX Broadcasting have also entered into certain agreements 
and arrangements with their officers and directors from time to time in the 
past. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

 *      Less than 1% 
(1)     Does not include 2,000,000 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to 
        the Company's 1998 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan. In January 
        1998, the Board approved the issuance of stock options for an 
        aggregate of 1,002,500 shares of Class A Common Stock. 
(2)     Unless otherwise set forth above, the address of each stockholder is 
        the address of the Company, which is 650 Madison Avenue, 16th Floor, 
        New York, New York 10022. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, 
        as used in this table, (a) "beneficial ownership" means the sole or 
        shared power to vote, or to direct the disposition of, a security, 
        and (b) a person is deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of any 
        security that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days of 
        May 1, 1998. Unless noted otherwise, (a) information as to beneficial 
        ownership is based on statements furnished to the Company by the 
        beneficial owners, and (b) stockholders possess sole voting and 
        dispositive power with respect to shares listed on this table. As of 
        May 1, 1998, there were issued and outstanding 18,512,170 shares of 
        Class A Common Stock and 1,697,037 shares of Class B Common Stock. 
(3)     Includes (a) 8,949 shares of Class A Common Stock held by TSC; (b) 
        warrants held by SCMC to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares of 
        Class A Common Stock and (c) an option to acquire an aggregate of 
        537,185 shares of Class A Common Stock from a third party. If the 
        1,524,168 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Sillerman were 
        included in calculating his ownership of the Class A Common Stock, 
        then Mr. Sillerman would beneficially own 3,101,202 shares of Class A 
        Common Stock, representing approximately 10.8% of the class upon 
        consummation of the Offering and the Pending Acquisitions. Does not 
        include options to purchase an aggregate of 120,000 shares of Class A 
        Common Stock that are expected to be issued to Mr. Sillerman pursuant 
        to his anticipated employment agreement. See "Management--Employment 
        Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors."

(4)     If the 172,869 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Ferrel were 
        included in calculating his ownership of the Class A Common Stock, 
        then Mr. Ferrel would beneficially own 364,105 shares of Class A 
        Common Stock, representing approximately 1.3% of the class upon 
        consummation of the Offering. Does not include options to purchase an 
        aggregate of 50,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that are expected 
        to be issued to Mr. Ferrel pursuant to his anticipated employment 
        agreement. See "Management--Employment Agreements and Arrangements 
        with Certain Officers and Directors." 
(5)     In addition to the shares that Mr. Tytel beneficially owns, he has 
        economic interests in a limited number of shares beneficially owned 
        by Mr. Sillerman. These interests do not impair Mr. Sillerman's 
        ability to vote and dispose of those shares. Mr. Tytel also has an 
        economic interest in SCMC and TSC, which together will beneficially 
        own an aggregate of 608,949 shares of Class A Common Stock, although 
        he does not have voting or dispositive power with respect to the 
        shares beneficially held by SCMC and TSC. See "Certain Relationships 
        and Related Transactions--Arrangement Between Robert F.X. Sillerman 
        and Howard J. Tytel." Does not include options to purchase an 
        aggregate of 25,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that are expected 
        to be issued to Mr. Tytel pursuant to his employment agreement. See 
        "Management--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain 
        Officers and Directors" and "Certain Relationships and Related 
        Transactions--Issuance of Stock to Holders of SFX Broadcasting's 
        Options and SARs." 
    

POSSIBLE CHANGE IN CONTROL 

   Mr. Sillerman has pledged an aggregate of 793,401 of his shares of Class B 
Common Stock as collateral for a line of credit, under which Mr. Sillerman 
currently has no outstanding borrowings. Mr. Sillerman continues to be 
entitled to exercise voting and consent rights with respect to the pledged 
shares, with certain restrictions. However, if Mr. Sillerman defaults in the 
payment of any future loans extended to him under the line of credit, the 
bank will be entitled to sell the pledged shares. Although the Class B Common 
Stock has 10 votes per share in most matters, the pledged shares will 
automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock upon such a sale. 
Such a sale of the pledged shares would reduce Mr. Sillerman's share of the 
voting power of the Common Stock, and would therefore be likely to result in 
a change of control of the Company. See "Risk Factors--Restrictions Imposed 
by the Company's Indebtedness."

                CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS 

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 

   
   Marquee is a publicly-traded company that, among other things, provides 
talent representations services to professional athletes and acts as booking 
agent for tours and appearances for musicians and other entertainers. The 
Company has indicated to Marquee its potential interest in acquiring Marquee. 
Mr. Sillerman has an aggregate equity interest of approximately 9.1% in 
Marquee and Mr. Sillerman is the chairman of its board of directors, and Mr. 
Tytel is one of its directors. Upon the consummation of the acquisition of 
FAME, the Company may directly compete with Marquee in obtaining 
representation agreements with particular athletes and endorsement 
opportunities for its clients. The Company anticipates that, from time to 
time, it will enter into transactions and arrangements (particularly, booking 
arrangements) with Marquee and Marquee's clients, and it may compete with 
Marquee for specific concert promotion engagements. In addition, the Company 
could in the future compete with Marquee in the production or promotion of 
motor sports or other sporting events. These transactions or arrangements 
will be subject to the approval of a committee of independent members of the 
boards of directors of each of the Company and Marquee, except that booking 
arrangements in the ordinary course of business will be subject to periodic 
review, but not approval of each particular arrangement. See "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations--Recent Developments" and "Certain Relationships and Related 
Transactions--Potential Conflicts of Interest." 

   TSC, an entity controlled by Mr. Sillerman and in which Mr. Tytel also has 
an equity interest, provides financial consulting services to Marquee. TSC's 
services are provided by certain directors, officers and employees of the 
Company who are not separately compensated for their services by TSC. In any 
transaction, arrangement or competition with Marquee, Messrs. Sillerman and 
Tytel are likely to have conflicts of interest between their duties as 
officers and directors of the Company, on the one hand, and their duties as 
directors of Marquee and their interests in TSC and Marquee, on the other 
hand. See "--Triathlon Fees." 
    

   Pursuant to the employment agreement entered into between Brian Becker and 
the Company in connection with the acquisition of PACE, Mr. Becker has the 
option, exercisable within 15 days after the second anniversary of the 
consummation of the PACE Acquisition, to purchase the Company's then existing 
motor sports line of business (or, if that line of business has been sold, 
the Company's then existing theatrical line of business) at its then fair 
market value. Mr. Becker's option may present a conflict of interest in his 
role as a director of the Company. See "Management." 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS 

   
   In January 1998, in order to retain the services of Messrs. Sillerman, 
Ferrel, Tytel and Benson as officers of the Company, the Company reached an 
agreement in principle with such individuals pursuant to which the 
individuals waived their right to receive shares of the Company in connection 
with the Spin-Off in return for the right to receive either a share of Common 
Stock or $4.20 in cash for each share of SFX Broadcasting common stock held 
by them directly or indirectly in the event that either the Spin-Off or an 
Alternate Transaction (as defined in the SFX Merger Agreement) were to occur. 
The amount of $4.20 was based on the value attributed to the Common Stock in 
the fairness opinion obtained by SFX Broadcasting in connection with the SFX 
Merger. The Company's obligation will be deemed satisfied by the receipt of 
shares of Common Stock in the Spin-Off. 

   The Company anticipates that it will enter into employment agreements with 
each member of its senior management (except for Mr. Armstrong), and that the 
employment agreements (except for Mr. Becker's employment agreement) will 
become effective immediately after the consummation of the SFX Merger. The 
Company anticipates that the employment agreements will provide for annual 
base salaries of $500,000 for Mr. Sillerman, $350,000 for Mr. Ferrel, 
$300,000 for Mr. Tytel and $235,000 for Mr. Benson. In connection with 
entering into the employment agreements, the Company sold the following 
restricted stock: 500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Mr. Sillerman, 
150,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Mr. Ferrel, 80,000 shares of Class 
A Common Stock to Mr. Tytel and 10,000 shares 
    

                               111           
<PAGE>
   
of Class A Common Stock to Mr. Benson. The shares of restricted stock were 
sold to the officers at a purchase of $2.00 per share. In addition, the 
Board, on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, also has approved 
the issuance of stock options exercisable for an aggregate of 252,500 shares 
of Class A Common Stock. The options will vest over three years and will have 
an exercise price of $5.50 per share. The Company will record non-cash 
compensation charges over the three-year exercise period to the extent that 
the fair value of the underlying Class A Common Stock of the Company exceeds 
the exercise price. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Future 
Charges to Earnings" and "Management--Employment Agreements and Arrangements 
with Certain Officers and Directors." 
    

   The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Becker who 
serves as a Director, Member of the Office of the Chairman and Executive Vice 
President. Mr. Becker's employment agreement provides for (a) an annual 
salary of $294,000 for the first year, $313,760 for each of the second and 
third years and $334,310 for each of the fourth and fifth years, (b) an 
annual bonus in the discretion of the Board and (c) the other terms described 
in "Management--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers 
and Directors." 

ASSUMPTION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS; CERTAIN CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENTS 

   Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, at the time of the 
consummation of the SFX Merger, the Company will assume all obligations under 
any employment agreement or arrangement (whether written or oral) between SFX 
Broadcasting or any of its subsidiaries and any employee of the Company 
(including Messrs. Sillerman and Ferrel), other than obligations relating to 
Messrs. Sillerman's and Ferrel's change of control options and existing 
rights to indemnification. These assumed obligations include the obligation 
to pay to Messrs. Sillerman, Ferrel and Benson, after the termination of 
their employment with SFX Broadcasting, cash payments aggregating 
approximately $3.3 million, $1.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. 
These payments will become due to Messrs. Sillerman, Ferrel and Benson after 
the termination of their employment with SFX Broadcasting following a change 
of control of SFX Broadcasting, pursuant to their employment agreements with 
SFX Broadcasting. In addition, the Company's assumed obligations will include 
the duty to indemnify Messrs. Sillerman and Ferrel (to the extent permitted 
by law) for one-half of the cost of any excise tax that may be assessed 
against them for any change-of-control payments made to them by SFX 
Broadcasting in connection with the SFX Merger. 

INDEMNIFICATION OF MR. SILLERMAN 

   On August 24, 1997, Mr. Sillerman entered into an agreement with SFX 
Broadcasting, SFX Buyer and SFX Buyer Sub to waive his right to receive 
indemnification (except to the extent covered by directors' and officers' 
insurance) from SFX Broadcasting, its subsidiaries, SFX Buyer and SFX Buyer 
Sub for claims and damages arising out of the SFX Merger and related 
transactions. It is anticipated that, in any employment agreement with Mr. 
Sillerman, the Company will agree to indemnify Mr. Sillerman for these claims 
and damages to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 

DELSENER/SLATER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS 

   In connection with the Delsener/Slater Acquisition, SFX Broadcasting 
entered into employment agreements in January 1997 with Ron Delsener and 
Mitch Slater (collectively, the "Delsener/Slater Employment Agreements"), 
pursuant to which each of Messrs. Delsener and Slater serve as co-Presidents 
and co-Chief Executive Officers of Delsener/Slater. The employment agreements 
will continue until December 31, 2001 unless terminated earlier by the 
Company for Cause (as defined in the employment agreements) or voluntarily by 
Messrs. Delsener or Slater. 

   After the consummation of the Spin-off or the SFX Merger, Messrs. Delsener 
and Slater may have the right pursuant to their employment agreements (a) to 
purchase the outstanding capital stock of Concerts (a subsidiary of the 
Company holding a significant amount of the assets of the Company) for Fair 
Market Value (as defined in their employment agreements) or (b) to receive a 
cash payment equal to 15% of the amount by which the Fair Market Value of 
Concerts exceeds the fixed payment portion of 

                               112           
<PAGE>
the cash purchase price of the acquisition of Concerts, plus 20% interest 
thereon. The senior management of Concerts and SFX Broadcasting have reached 
an agreement in principle to waive the above rights in connection with the 
Spin-Off, the SFX Merger and related transactions; however, there can be no 
assurance that the rights will be waived on terms acceptable to SFX 
Broadcasting and the Company or at all. In addition, although the Company is 
in the process of negotiating amendments to these agreements, these and 
certain other rights described in the agreements may continue to apply to 
transactions after, or unrelated to, the Spin-Off or the SFX Merger. 

   Additionally, the Messrs. Delsener's and Slater's employment agreements 
provide for certain annual bonus arrangements. 

   Management believes that no bonuses were earned in 1997 pursuant to such 
arrangements. However, any bonuses that may accrue to Messrs. Delsener and 
Slater in the future will not be available for the Company's use to service 
its debt or for other purposes. 

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOWARD J. TYTEL AND BAKER & MCKENZIE 

   Howard J. Tytel, who is the Executive Vice President, General Counsel, 
Secretary and a Director of the Company, is "of counsel" to the law firm of 
Baker & McKenzie. Mr. Tytel is also an executive vice president, the general 
counsel and a director of SFX Broadcasting. Baker & McKenzie serves as 
counsel to SFX Broadcasting, the Company and certain other affiliates of Mr. 
Sillerman. Baker & McKenzie compensates Mr. Tytel based, in part, on the fees 
it receives from providing legal services to SFX Broadcasting, other 
affiliates of Mr. Sillerman and other clients introduced to the firm by Mr. 
Tytel. 

ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN ROBERT F.X. SILLERMAN AND HOWARD J. TYTEL 

   Since 1978, Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel have been jointly involved in 
numerous business ventures, including SCMC, TSC, MMR, Triathlon, Marquee, SFX 
Broadcasting and the Company. In consideration for certain services provided 
by Mr. Tytel in connection with those ventures, Mr. Tytel has received from 
Mr. Sillerman either a minority equity interest in the businesses (with Mr. 
Sillerman retaining the right to control the voting and disposition of Mr. 
Tytel's interest) or cash fees in an amount mutually agreed upon. Although 
Mr. Tytel has not been compensated directly by SFX Broadcasting (except for 
ordinary fees paid to him in his capacity as a director), he receives 
compensation from TSC and SCMC, companies controlled by Mr. Sillerman, as 
well as from Mr. Sillerman personally, with respect to the services he 
provides to various entities affiliated with Mr. Sillerman, including SFX 
Broadcasting. In 1997, these cash fees aggregated approximately $5.0 million, 
a portion of which were paid from the proceeds of payments made by SFX 
Broadcasting to Mr. Sillerman or entities controlled by Mr. Sillerman and the 
proceeds from Mr. Sillerman's exercise for tax purposes of options granted to 
him by SFX Broadcasting and subsequent sale of the underlying shares. It is 
anticipated that, in connection with the consummation of the SFX Merger and 
certain related transactions, Mr. Tytel will receive shares of the Company 
and cash fees from TSC, SCMC and Mr. Sillerman personally in an amount to be 
determined in the future. See "--Assumption of Employment Agreements; Certain 
Change of Control Payments." It is also anticipated that Mr. Tytel will enter 
into an employment agreement directly with the Company that will be effective 
at the time of consummation of the SFX Merger. See "--Employment Agreements." 

TRIATHLON FEES 

   SCMC, a corporation controlled by Mr. Sillerman and in which Mr. Tytel has 
an equity interest, has an agreement to provide consulting and marketing 
services to Triathlon, a publicly-traded company in which Mr. Sillerman is a 
significant stockholder. Under the terms of the agreement, SCMC has agreed to 
provide consulting and marketing services to Triathlon until June 1, 2005 for 
an annual fee of $500,000, together with a refundable advance of $500,000 per 
year against fees earned in respect of transactional investment banking 
services. Fees paid by Triathlon for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 
December 31, 1997 were $3,000,000 and $1,794,000, respectively. These fees 
will vary (above the minimum annual fee of $500,000) depending on the level 
of acquisition and financing activities of Triathlon. SCMC previously 
assigned its rights to receive fees payable under this agreement 

                               113           
<PAGE>
to SFX Broadcasting. Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, SFX 
Broadcasting will assign its rights to receive these fees to the Company. 
Triathlon has announced that it is exploring ways of maximizing stockholder 
value, including possible sale to a third party. If Triathlon were acquired 
by a third party, the agreement might not continue for the remainder of its 
term. 

AGREEMENTS WITH SFX BROADCASTING 

   
   The Company and SFX Broadcasting have entered into various agreements with 
respect to the Spin-Off and related matters. For a description of the 
material terms of these agreements, see the Distribution Agreement, Tax 
Sharing Agreement and the Employment Benefit Agreement, each filed as an 
exhibit to this Registration Statement. See "Additional Information." 
    

   In addition, SFX Broadcasting has guaranteed certain payments in 
connection with the PACE Acquisition, the Contemporary Acquisition and the 
Network Acquisition. 

COMMON STOCK RECEIVED IN THE SPIN-OFF 

   
   In the Spin-Off, the holders of SFX Broadcasting's Class A common stock, 
Series D preferred stock and Warrants (upon exercise) received shares of 
Class A Common Stock, whereas Messrs. Sillerman and Ferrel, as the holders of 
SFX Broadcasting's Class B common stock (which is entitled to ten votes per 
share on most matters), received shares of Class B Common Stock. The Class A 
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have similar rights and privileges, 
except that the Class B Common Stock differs as to voting rights generally to 
the extent that SFX Broadcasting's Class A common stock and Class B common 
stock presently differ. The issuance of the Class B Common Stock in the 
Spin-Off was intended to preserve Messrs. Sillerman's and Ferrel's relative 
voting power after the Spin-Off. Upon consummation of the Offering and the 
Pending Acquisitions, Mr. Sillerman will be deemed to beneficially own 
approximately 38.1% of the combined voting power of the Company and Messrs. 
Sillerman and Ferrel will be deemed to beneficially own approximately 45.3% 
of the combined voting power of the Company. Accordingly, Mr. Sillerman, 
alone and together with the Company's current directors and executive 
officers, will generally be able to control the outcome of the votes of the 
stockholders of the Company on most matters. The Company and Messrs. 
Sillerman and Ferrel have agreed in principle that Messrs. Sillerman and 
Ferrel will continue to serve as officers and directors of the Company. See 
"Principal Stockholders." 
    

   In addition, in August 1997, the board of directors of SFX Broadcasting 
approved amendments to the SCMC Warrants (which represent the right to 
purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares of SFXBroadcasting's Class A common 
stock). The SCMC Warrants had previously been issued to SCMC, an entity 
controlled by Mr. Sillerman. The amendments memorialize the original intent 
of the directors of SFX Broadcasting that SCMC receive the aggregate number 
of shares of Class A Common Stock that it would have received if it had 
exercised the SCMC Warrants immediately prior to the Spin-Off. 

ISSUANCE OF STOCK TO HOLDERS OF SFX BROADCASTING'S OPTIONS AND SARS 

   
   On April 21, 1998, the Company issued 526,566 shares of Class A Common 
Stock to holders as of the Spin-Off record date of the stock options or SARs 
of SFX Broadcasting, whether or not vested. The issuance was made to allow 
holders of such options and SARs to participate in the Spin-Off in a manner 
similar to holders of SFX Broadcasting's Class A common stock. Additionally, 
many of the option and SAR holders have become officers, directors or 
employees of the Company. The members of the Company's Board, other than Mr. 
Becker, received an aggregate of 455,479 shares pursuant to such issuance.

   In connection with the acquisition of Meadows Music Theater, SFX 
Broadcasting obtained an option to repurchase 250,838 shares of its Class A 
common stock (the "Meadows Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $8.3 
million (the "Meadows Repurchase"). Pursuant to the terms of the SFX Merger 

                               114

Agreement, if the Meadows Shares are outstanding at the effective time of the 
SFX Merger. Working Capital would be decreased by approximately $10.5 
million. However, SFX Broadcasting was restricted from exercising the Meadows 
Repurchase by certain loan covenants and other restrictions. 

   In January 1998, Mr. Sillerman, the Executive Chairman of the Company, 
committed to finance the $8.3 million exercise price of the Meadows 
Repurchase in order to avoid the $10.5 million reduction to Working Capital. 
In consideration for such commitment, the board of directors of SFX 
Broadcasting agreed that Mr. Sillerman would receive approximately the number 
of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Spin-Off with respect 
to the Meadows Shares. At the time SFX Broadcasting accepted Mr. Sillerman's 
commitment, the board of directors of SFX Broadcasting valued the Class A 
Common Stock to be issued in the Spin-Off at $4.20 per share, the value 
attributed to such shares in the fairness opinion obtained by SFX 
Broadcasting in connection with the SFX Merger. In April 1998, SFX 
Broadcasting assigned the option for the Meadows Shares to an unaffiliated 
third party and, in connection therewith, paid such party a fee of $75,000. 
Mr. Sillerman subsequently advanced such party the $8.3 million exercise 
price for the Meadows Repurchase which will become due on the earlier of the 
date on which the Meadows Shares are disposed of by the third party of 
January 16, 1999. If the SFX Merger is consummated, the Meadows Shares will 
be tendered in the SFX Merger without any gain or loss to the third party. In 
the event that the SFX Merger is not consummated on or before December 31, 
1998, SFX Broadcasting has the option, for a limited time, to repurchase the 
Meadows Shares for an aggregate consideration of approximately $10.0 million. 
The third party has agreed to transfer to Mr. Sillerman the Class A Common 
Stock to be issued in the Spin-Off with respect to the Meadows Shares. The 
transaction has been approved by SFX Broadcasting's board of directors, 
including the independent directors. See "Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and 
Capital Resources--Future Charges to Earnings."

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK 

   
   In order to facilitate the Spin-Off, the Company recently revised its 
capital structure to increase its authorized capital stock and to effect a 
stock split. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 
110,000,000 shares of Common Stock (comprised of 100,000,000 shares of Class 
A Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock), and 25,000,000 
shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. The following 
descriptions of the Common Stock and the preferred stock are summaries, and 
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of 
the Company Certificate and the Company By-laws (each of which are filed as 
exhibits to the Registration Statement). See "Additional Information." 
    

COMMON STOCK 

 SHARES OUTSTANDING 

   
   As of the date of this Prospectus, there are issued and outstanding 
18,512,170 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,697,037 shares of Class B 
Common Stock. All of these shares are validly issued, fully paid and 
nonassessable. Upon the consummation of the Offering and the Pending 
Acquisitions, there will be issued and outstanding 27,118,971 shares of Class 
A Common Stock and 1,697,037 shares of Class B Common Stock. 
    

 DIVIDENDS 

   Although no dividends are anticipated to be paid on the Common Stock in 
the foreseeable future, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive any 
dividends (payable in cash, stock, or otherwise) that are declared thereon by 
the Board at any time and from time to time out of funds legally available 
for that purpose. No dividend may be declared or paid in cash or property on 
either class of common stock, unless the same dividend is simultaneously 
declared or paid on the other class of common stock. If dividends are 
declared that are payable in shares of Common Stock, then the stock dividends 
will be payable at the same rate on each class of Common Stock and will be 
payable only in shares of Class A Common Stock to holders of Class A Common 
Stock and in shares of Class B Common Stock to holders of Class B Common 
Stock. If dividends are declared that are payable in shares of common stock 
of another corporation, then the shares paid may differ as to voting rights 
to the extent that voting rights differ among the Class A Common Stock and 
the Class B Common Stock. 

 VOTING RIGHTS 

   Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote as a single 
class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, with each share 
of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common 
Stock entitled to ten votes, except (a) for the election of directors, (b) 
with respect to any "going private" transaction between the Company and 
Robert F.X. Sillerman or any of his affiliates and (c) as otherwise provided 
by law. 

   In the election of directors, the holders of shares of Class A Common 
Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two sevenths of the 
Company's directors (each, a "Class A Director"). Any person nominated by the 
Board for election by the holders of Class A Common Stock as a director of 
the Company must be qualified to be an "Independent Director" (as defined in 
the Company Certificate). If a Class A Director dies, is removed or resigns 
before his term expires, then that director's vacancy on the Board may be 
filled by any person appointed by a majority of the directors then in office, 
although less than a quorum. Any person appointed to fill the vacancy must, 
however, be qualified to be an Independent Director. The holders of Class A 
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class, with each 
share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B 
Common Stock entitled to ten votes, are entitled to elect the remaining 
directors. The holders of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative votes 
in the election of directors. Mr. Sillerman has agreed to abstain, and has 
agreed to cause each of his affiliates to abstain, from voting in any 
election of Class A Directors. 

                               116           
<PAGE>
   The initial Class A Directors are Messrs. Dugan, Kramer and O'Grady. If 
the SFX Merger Agreement is terminated, each of these individuals has 
indicated that he will promptly resign from his position as a director of the 
Company, and the board of directors of the Company will appoint three 
different Class A Directors, to serve until the next annual meeting of the 
stockholders of the Company. 

   The holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote as a 
single class with respect to any proposed "going private" transaction with 
Mr. Sillerman or any of his affiliates, with each share of Class A Common 
Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to one vote. 

   Under Delaware law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of 
the outstanding shares of any class of common stock is required to approve, 
among other things, a change in the designations, preferences or limitations 
of that class of common stock. 

 LIQUIDATION RIGHTS 

   Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, after 
distribution in full of any preferential amounts required to be distributed 
to holders of preferred stock, the holders of Class A Common Stock will be 
entitled to share ratably with the holders of Class B Common Stock all assets 
available for distribution after payment in full of creditors. 

 CONVERSION 

   Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time, at the 
holder's option, into one share of Class A Common Stock. Each share of Class 
B Common Stock converts automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock 
(a) at the time of its sale or transfer to a party not affiliated with the 
Company or (b) in the case of shares held by Mr. Sillerman or any of his 
affiliates, at the time of Mr. Sillerman's death. 

 OTHER PROVISIONS 

   The holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive or subscription 
rights. In any merger, consolidation or business combination, the 
consideration to be received per share by holders of Class A Common Stock 
must be identical to that received by holders of Class B Common Stock, except 
that in any such transaction in which shares of Common Stock are to be 
distributed, the distributed shares may differ as to voting rights to the 
extent that voting rights now differ among the Class A Common Stock and the 
Class B Common Stock. The Company may not subdivide (by any stock split, 
reclassification, stock dividend, recapitalization, or otherwise) or combine 
the outstanding shares of either class of Common Stock unless the outstanding 
shares of both classes are proportionately subdivided or combined. 

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR 

   The transfer agent and registrar for the Class A Common Stock and the 
Class B Common Stock is Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. 

PREFERRED STOCK 

   As of the date of this Prospectus, there are no shares of the Company's 
preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, outstanding and there are 
25,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. 

   The Board has the authority to issue this preferred stock in one or more 
series and to fix the number of shares and the relative designations and 
powers, preferences, and rights, and qualifications, limitations, and 
restrictions thereof, without further vote or action by the stockholders. If 
shares of preferred stock with voting rights are issued, the voting rights of 
the holders of Common Stock could be diluted by increasing the number of 
outstanding shares having voting rights, and by creating class or series 
voting rights. If the Board authorizes the issuance of shares of preferred 
stock with conversion rights, the number of shares of common stock 
outstanding could potentially be increased by up to the authorized amount. 
Issuances of preferred stock could, under certain circumstances, have the 
effect of 

                               117           
<PAGE>
   
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company and may adversely 
affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. Also, the preferred stock could 
have preferences over the common stock (and other series of preferred stock) 
with respect to dividend and liquidation rights. 
    

                         DESCRIPTION OF INDEBTEDNESS 

NOTES 

   The following is a summary of the material terms contained in the 
Indenture. This summary is not complete. It is subject to the terms of the 
Indenture, which was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. See 
"Additional Information." 

   On February 11, 1998, the Company consummated the private placement of 
$350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated 
Notes due 2008. The Notes bear interest at an annual interest rate of 9 1/8%, 
and interest payments will be due semi-annually, commencing August 1, 1998. 
The Notes will mature on February 1, 2008. The Notes do not contain any 
sinking fund provision. 

  RANKING 

   The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinate in 
right to all Senior Debt (as defined in the Indenture), whether outstanding 
on the date of the Indenture or thereafter incurred, of the Company and 
senior in right of payment to or pari passu with all other indebtedness of 
the Company. See "Capitalization." 

 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 

   The Company's payment obligations under the Notes are jointly and 
severally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of its current and 
future domestic subsidiaries, with certain specified exceptions. 

 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION 

   Except as noted below, the Notes are not redeemable at the Company's 
option before February 1, 2003. Thereafter, the Notes will be subject to 
redemption at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at 
specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated 
Damages (as defined in the Indenture), if any, thereon to the applicable 
redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to February 1, 2001, the 
Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35.0% of the original 
aggregate principal amount of Notes at a redemption price of 109.125% of the 
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated 
Damages, if any, thereon to the date of redemption, with the net proceeds of 
one or more offerings of common equity of the Company. However, at least 
65.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes must remain 
outstanding immediately after each occurrence of redemption. 

 CHANGE OF CONTROL 

   After the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), 
the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at a 
price equal to 101% of their principal amount, together with accrued and 
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase.

   The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit 
the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (a) incur additional 
Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture), (b) issue preferred stock, (c) 
pay dividends, (d) make certain other restricted payments, (e) create certain 
Liens (as defined in the Indenture), (f) enter into certain transactions with 
affiliates, (g) sell assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries (as 
defined in the Indenture), (h) issue or sell Equity Interests (as defined in

                               118           
<PAGE>
In addition, under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to 
offer to purchase Notes at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount 
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to 
the date of purchase, with the proceeds of certain Asset Sales (as defined in 
the Indenture). 

 EXCHANGE OFFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

   Pursuant to a registration rights agreement among the Company and the 
initial purchasers of the Notes, the Company must use its best efforts to 
file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an offer to 
exchange the Notes for a new issue of debt securities registered under the 
Securities Act, with terms identical in all material respects to those of the 
Notes. If (a) this exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or (b) 
any holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in the Indenture) 
notifies the Company that (i) it is prohibited by law or SEC policy from 
participating in the exchange offer, (ii) it may not resell the new issue of 
debt securities to be acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public 
without delivering a prospectus, and the prospectus contained in the 
registration statement is not appropriate or available for those resales, or 
(iii) it is a broker-dealer and holds Notes acquired directly from the 
Company or an affiliate of the Company, then the Company will be required to 
provide a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the Notes by their 
holders. If the Company fails to satisfy these registration obligations, it 
will be required to pay Liquidated Damages to the holders of Notes under 
certain circumstances. 

 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS 

   The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not 
be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from (or in a transaction 
not subject to) the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 

CREDIT FACILITY 

   The following is a summary of the material terms of the Credit Facility. 
This summary is not complete. It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety 
by reference to, the Credit and Guarantee Agreement, which has been filed as 
an exhibit hereto. 
   

   In February of 1998, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement which 
established a $300.0 million of senior secured credit facilities. The Credit 
Facility is comprised of (a) the $150.0 million eight-year Term Loan and (b) 
the $150.0 million seven-year reducing Revolver. Borrowings under the Credit 
Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, including 
a pledge of the outstanding stock of substantially all of its subsidiaries, 
and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries. On 
February 27, 1998, the Company borrowed $150.0 million pursuant to the Term 
Loan in connection with the Recent Acquisitions. The Company expects to borrow 
approximately $85.0 million pursuant to the Revolver in connection with the 
Financing. The Revolver and Term Loan contain provisions providing that, at 
its option and subject to certain conditions, the Company may increase the 
mount of either the Revolver or the Term Loan by $50.0 million. 
    

 GENERAL 

   The Credit Facility provides for borrowings in a principal amount of up to 
$300.0 million, subject to certain covenants and conditions. Borrowings under 
the Credit Facility may be used by the Company to finance Permitted 
Acquisitions (as defined in the Credit Agreement), for working capital and 
for general corporate purposes. Up to $20.0 million of the Revolver will be 
available for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Each Permitted 
Acquisition must be in the same line of business (or other business 
incidental or related thereto) as the Company and must have the prior written 
consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) if the 
cost of the Permitted Acquisition exceeds $50.0 million. 

 INTEREST RATES; FEES 

   Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at the 
Company's option, at certain spreads over LIBOR or the greater of the Federal 
Funds rate plus 0.50% or BNY's prime rate. The 

                               119           
<PAGE>
interest rate spreads on the Term Loan and the Revolver will be adjusted 
based on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio (as defined below). The Company 
will pay an annual commitment fee on unused availability under the Revolver 
of 0.50% if the Company's Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 
4.0 to 1.0, and 0.375% if that ratio is less than 4.0 to 1.0. The Company 
will also pay an annual letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable LIBOR 
Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the Revolver then in effect. 

 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS AND COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS 

   Commitments to lend under the Revolver will be reduced in equal quarterly 
installments commencing March 31, 2000 in annual percentages of the 
borrowings under the Revolver as of December 31, 1999 according to the 
following schedule: by 10.0% in 2000; by 15.0% in 2001; by 20.0% in 2002; by 
25.0% in 2003; by 25.0% in 2004; and by the remaining 5.0% upon final 
maturity. The Term Loan will be reduced by $1.0 million per year until final 
maturity, at which point the remaining balance will be due and payable. 
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will be subject to, among 
others, the following mandatory prepayments, which will also permanently 
reduce commitments: (a) 100.0% of the net cash proceeds received from 
permitted Asset Sales (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to 
standard reinvestment provisions; (b) 50.0% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined 
in the Credit Agreement), calculated for each fiscal year beginning with the 
year ending December 31, 2000; and (c) 50.0% of net proceeds of any equity 
issuance, to the extent that the Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or 
equal to 5.0 to 1.0. 

 COLLATERAL AND GUARANTEES 

   Each of the Company's present and future direct and indirect domestic 
subsidiaries (the "Senior Guarantors") must provide guarantees under the 
Credit Facility. In order to secure its obligations under the Credit 
Facility, the Company and each of the Senior Guarantors must also grant to 
the lenders a continuing security interest in all of their tangible assets 
(subject to certain non-material exceptions), all of the capital stock of 
each Senior Guarantor and not less than 66 2/3% of the capital stock of the 
Company's present and future direct and indirect foreign subsidiaries. 

   The Credit Facility contains various covenants that, subject to certain 
specified exceptions, restrict the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability 
to: 

   o  incur additional indebtedness and other obligations; 

   o  grant liens; 

   o  consummate mergers, acquisitions, investments and asset dispositions; 

   o  declare or pay Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit 
      Agreement); 

   o  declare or pay dividends, distributions and other prepayments or 
      repurchases of other indebtedness; 

   o  amend certain agreements, including the Company's organizational 
      documents, the Notes and the Indenture; 

   o  make acquisitions and dispositions; 

   o  engage in transactions with affiliates; 

   o  engage in sale and leaseback transactions; and 

   o  change lines of business. 

The Credit Facility also includes covenants relating to compliance with 
ERISA, environmental and other laws, payment of taxes, maintenance of 
corporate existence and rights, maintenance of insurance and financial 
reporting. In addition, the Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain 
compliance with certain specified financial covenants relating to: 

   o  a maximum ratio (the "Total Leverage Ratio") of (a) all outstanding 
      amounts under the Credit Facility and any other borrowed money and 
      similar type indebtedness (including capital lease 

                               120           
<PAGE>
      obligations) of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated 
      basis ("Total Debt"), less cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5.0 
      million, to (b) for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters, 
      (i) revenues less (ii) expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization 
      other than capitalized pre-production costs, interest expense and 
      income tax expense), plus (iii) non-recurring expense items or non-cash 
      expense items mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Required 
      Lenders, plus (iv) the lesser of (A) the equity income from 
      Unconsolidated Investments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (B) 
      cash dividends and other cash distributions from Unconsolidated 
      Investments (however, the total amount determined under this clause 
      (iv) will not exceed 10.0% of Operating Cash Flow before overhead) (the 
      amount referred to in this clause (b), "Operating Cash Flow"); 
      Operating Cash Flow is to be adjusted to reflect acquisitions and 
      dispositions consummated during the calculation period as if those 
      transactions were consummated at the beginning of the period (with 
      adjustment, "Adjusted Operating Cash Flow"); 

   o  a maximum ratio (the "Senior Leverage Ratio") of (a) Total Debt less 
      the principal amount outstanding under the Notes to, less cash and cash 
      equivalents in excess of $5.0 million, to (b) Operating Cash Flow; 

   o  a minimum ratio (the "Pro Forma Interest Expense Ratio") of (a) 
      Adjusted Operating Cash Flow to (b) the sum of all interest expense and 
      commitment fees calculated for the four fiscal quarters following the 
      calculation quarter, giving effect to the Total Debt outstanding and 
      the interest rates in effect as of the date of the determination and 
      the commitment reductions and debt amortization scheduled during that 
      period; 

   o  a minimum ratio (the "Debt Service Ratio") of (a) Adjusted Operating 
      Cash Flow to (b) the sum of (i) the sum of all interest expense and 
      commitment fees calculated for the four fiscal quarters following the 
      calculation quarter, giving effect to the Total Debt outstanding and 
      the interest rates in effect as of the date of the determination and 
      the commitment reductions and debt amortization scheduled during that 
      period and (ii) the scheduled current maturities of Total Debt and 
      current commitment reductions with respect to the Revolver, each 
      measured for the four fiscal quarters immediately succeeding the date 
      of determination; and 

   o  a minimum ratio (the "Fixed Charges Ratio") of (a) the sum of Operating 
      Cash Flow to (b) the sum of, for the four most recently completed 
      fiscal quarters, the following paid during that period: (i) Interest 
      Expense (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the scheduled 
      maturities of Total Debt and current commitment reductions with respect 
      to the Revolver, (ii) cash income taxes, (iii) capital expenditures 
      (excluding certain special capital expenditures to be mutually agreed 
      upon) and (iv) Unconsolidated Investments (as defined in the Credit 
      Agreement). 

   
   The Total Leverage Ratio for the most recently completed 12 month period 
may not at any time exceed (a) 6.75x from the Credit Facility Closing Date to 
September 29, 1998, (b) 6.50x from September 30, 1998 to December 30, 1998, 
(c) 6.25x from December 31, 1998 to June 29, 1999, (d) 5.75x from June 30, 
1999 to December 30, 1999, (e) 5.25x from December 31, 1999 to December 30, 
2000, (f) 4.50x from December 31, 2000 to December 30, 2001 and (g) 3.75x on 
December 31, 2001 and thereafter. 

   The Senior Leverage Ratio for the most recently completed 12 month period 
may not at any time exceed (a) 3.50x from the Credit Facility Closing Date to 
September 29, 1998, (b) 3.25x from September 30, 1998 to December 30, 1999, 
(c) 3.00x from December 31, 1999 to December 30, 2000 and (d) 2.50x on 
December 31, 2000 and thereafter. 
    

   The Pro Forma Interest Expense Ratio may not at the end of any fiscal 
quarter be less than (a) 1.50x from the Credit Facility Closing Date to 
December 31, 1998 and (b) 2.00x on January 1, 1999 and thereafter. 

   The Pro Forma Debt Service Ratio may not at any fiscal quarter end be less 
than (a) 1.25x from the Credit Facility Closing Date to December 31, 1998 and

                               121           
<PAGE>
   The Fixed Charges Ratio may not at any quarter end be less than 1.05x. 

   The Credit Facility will also prohibit prepayment of any subordinated 
notes, including the Notes. 

 EVENTS OF DEFAULT 

   The Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including 
payment defaults, the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the 
Credit Agreement), the invalidity of guarantees or security documents under 
the Credit Facility, any Material Adverse Change (as defined in the Credit 
Agreement), breach of any representation or warranty under the Credit 
Facility and any cross-default to other indebtedness of the Company and its 
subsidiaries. The occurrence of any event of default could result in 
termination of the commitments to extend credit under the Credit Facility and 
foreclosure on the collateral securing those obligations, each of which, 
individually, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. 

   
 Change of Control 

   "Change of Control" is defined in the Credit Facility as, inter alia: (i) 
the failure of Mr. Sillerman, any Affiliate (as defined therein) of Mr. 
Sillerman, or any Affiliate of Mr. Sillerman together with any executor, heir 
or successor appointed to take control of Mr. Sillerman's affairs in the 
event of his death, disability or incapacity, to own directly or indirectly, 
in the aggregate, of record and beneficially, more than 35% of the voting 
power of all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company or (ii) the 
occurrence of any Person (as defined in the Credit Facility), other than as 
provided in clause (i) above, owning, beneficially, more than 10% of the 
voting power of all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company. 
    

OTHER DEBT 

   
   In addition, the Company also has approximately $16.2 million of long-term 
debt outstanding, which was incurred primarily in connection with the 1997 
Acquisitions. See Note 5 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements of the Company. The Company also assumed $18.7 million of debt in 
connection with the Recent Acquisitions. 

                       SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE 

   Sales of substantial amounts of Class A Common Stock in the public market, 
or the possibility that these sales may occur, could adversely affect market 
prices for Class A Common Stock or the future ability of the Company to raise 
capital through an offering of equity securities. Upon consummation of the 
Offering and the Pending Acquisitions, the Company will have 27,118,971 
shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,697,037 shares of Class B Common Stock 
outstanding (not including shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding 
options). Of those shares, a total of 13,579,024 shares will be freely 
tradeable in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act, 
unless the shares are held by "affiliates" of the Company (as that term is 
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act). Under the Underwriting 
Agreement and certain agreements entered into between the representatives of 
the Underwriters and each of the Company's officers and directors (the 
"Lock-Up Agreements") who beneficially hold, in the aggregate 2,162,479 
shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,697,037 shares of Class B Common Stock, 
such officers and directors will not, without the prior written consent of 
Goldman, Sachs & Co., during the period commencing on the date hereof and 
ending 180 days after the date of this Prospectus, (i) offer, pledge, sell, 
or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of 
the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or 
exchangeable for Common Stock or any right to acquire Common Stock, or (ii) 
enter into any swap or similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, 
the economic risk of ownership of the Common Stock. The foregoing provisions 
shall not apply to (i) exercise of options or warrants, or (ii) transfers, 
without consideration, of the Common Stock or any securities convertible 
into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to family members or to 
one or more trusts established for the benefit of one or more family members, 
provided that the transferee executes and delivers to Goldman, Sachs & Co., 
an agreement whereby the transferee agrees to be bound by all of the 
foregoing terms and provisions. Goldman, Sachs & Co. in its sole discretion 
and at any time without notice, may release all or any portion of the 
securities subject to 
    

                               122           
<PAGE>
   
the Lock-Up Agreements or many waive the covenants contained in the 
Underwriting Agreement. Any such decision to release securities would likely 
be based upon individual stockholder circumstances, prevailing market 
conditions and other relevant factors. Any such release could have a material 
adverse effect upon the price of the Class A Common Stock. Upon the 
expiration or termination of the Lock-Up Agreements, the shares held by 
affiliates will be eligible for sale subject to compliance with the 
provisions of Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See "Underwriting." 

   The 4,216,680 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the 
Recent Acquisitions are "restricted securities" under Rule 144; however, the 
Company has obligations to register all or a portion of these shares. 

   Additionally, pursuant to the acquisition agreement relating to the Don 
Law Acquisition, the Company and the Don Law seller have agreed that they 
(and the members of the Don Law seller) will enter into a registration rights 
agreement regarding the 531,782 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company 
to be issued to the Don Law seller, which agreement will provide for, among 
other things: (a) a twelve month lock-up period (provided that the Don Law 
seller and its members may continue to engage in hedging other derivative 
transactions and other transactions with Affiliates (as defined in such 
agreement), (b) a single demand registration right, (c) unlimited piggyback 
registration rights (unless sales under Rule 144 and 145 of the Securities 
Act are available to the members) and (d) usual and customary underwriting 
restrictions with respect to the foregoing. Pursuant to the Underwriting 
Agreement, the Company has agreed not to waive these provisions without the 
consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co. 

   Pursuant to the Rescission Offer, the approximately 1.5 million shares of 
Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Don Law and FAME sellers will become 
(to the extent such sellers do not exercise their rescission rights) freely 
tradeable in the public market, subject to applicable limitations on 
affiliates. 

   In addition, the Company has adopted a stock option plan providing for the 
issuance of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common 
Stock. The Company has granted options to purchase an aggregate of 
approximately 1,002,500 shares of Class A Common Stock under such plan. All 
shares acquired upon exercise of such options will be subject to the Lock-Up 
Agreements. The Company anticipates that in the future it will file a 
registration statement with the SEC to register the shares issuable upon 
exercise of options granted under the plan. See "Management--Employment 
Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors" and "Shares 
Eligible for Future Sales." 
    

                                LEGAL MATTERS 

   The validity of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby will be

Offering will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Latham & Watkins, New

                   SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                                 (UNAUDITED) 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

   SFX Entertainment, Inc. ("SFX" or the "Company") was formed as a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX Broadcasting, Inc. ("SFX Broadcasting") in 
December 1997 and as the parent company of SFX Concerts, Inc ("Concerts"). 
Concerts was formed in January of 1997 to acquire and hold SFX Broadcasting's 
live entertainment operations. During 1997 and 1998, the Company made several 
acquisitions as described below. The Company had no substantive operations 
until its acquisition of Delsener/Slater Enterprises, Ltd. and Affiliated 
Companies ("Delsener/Slater") in January 1997. 

   Information with respect to the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 
is unaudited. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements 
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation 
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes 
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial 
statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial 
statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, 
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of 
operations and cash flows of the Company, for the periods presented. 

   
   In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related 
Information," which establishes new standards for the way that public 
business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual 
financial statements and requires that these enterprises report selected 
information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It also 
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, 
geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 is effective for financial 
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997, and therefore 
the Company will adopt the new requirements in 1998. Management has not yet 
completed its review of SFAS 131 but does not expect that its adoption will 
have a material effect on the Company's statement of position or revenues, 
only on the composition of its reportable segments. 

   The Company's operations and revenues are largely seasonal in nature, with 
generally higher revenue generated in the second and third quarters of the 
year. The Company's outdoor venues are primarily utilized in the summer 
months and do not generate substantial revenue in the late fall, winter and 
early spring. Similarly, the musical concerts that the Company promotes 
largely occur in the second and third quarters. To the extent that the 
Company's entertainment marketing and consulting relate to musical concerts, 
they also predominantly generate revenues in the second and third quarters. 
    

   In August 1997, SFX Broadcasting agreed to the merger (the "Broadcasting 
Merger Agreement") among SBI Holdings, Inc. (the "Buyer"), SBI Radio 
Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer, and SFX 
Broadcasting (the "Broadcasting Merger") and to the spin-off of the Company 
to the shareholders of SFX Broadcasting (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off was 
completed on April 27, 1998 and the Broadcasting Merger is expected to be 
completed in the second quarter of 1998. 

   Pursuant to the terms of the Spin-Off, SFX Broadcasting contributed to the 
Company all of the assets relating to its live entertainment businesses and 
the Company assumed all of SFX Broadcasting's liabilities pertaining to the 
live entertainment businesses, as well as certain other liabilities including 
the obligation to make change of control payments to certain employees of SFX 
Broadcasting of approximately $5,000,000 as well as the obligation to 
indemnify one-half of certain of these employees' excise tax. At the time of 
the Broadcasting Merger, SFX Broadcasting will contribute its positive 
Working Capital (as defined in the Broadcasting Merger Agreement) to the 
Company. If Working Capital is negative, the Company must pay the amount of 
the shortfall to SFX Broadcasting. As of March 31, 1998, SFX Broadcasting had 
advanced approximately $5,378,000 to the Company for use in connection with 
certain acquisitions and capital expenditures. This obligation and other 
costs subsequently incurred in connection with the Spin-Off were reimbursed 
in April 1998. 


                               F-7           
<PAGE>
   
   SFX Broadcasting and the Company have entered into a tax sharing 
agreement, pursuant to which the Company is responsible for certain taxes, 
including income taxes imposed with respect to income generated by the 
Company for the periods prior to the Spin-Off and taxes resulting from gain 
recognized in the Spin-Off. The Company will be allowed to offset any gain or 
income by the net operating losses of SFX Broadcasting (including net 
operating losses generated in the current year prior to the Spin-Off) which 
are available to offset such gain or income. The Company believes that the 
amount of taxes that it will be required to pay in connection with the 
Spin-Off will be determined by reference to the average of the high and low 
sales price of the Class A Common Stock on April 27, 1998 (the date of the 
distribution of Common Stock pursuant to the Spin-Off). Increases or 
decreases in the value of the Common Stock subsequent to such date will not 
affect the tax liability. The average of the high and low sales price of the 
Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on April 27, 1998 was 
$30.50 per share and management estimates that the Company will be required 
to pay approximately $120.0 million pursuant to such indemnification 
obligation. Most of the tax liability relates to certain deferred 
intercompany transactions creating taxable income for the Company. Management 
believes that these deferred intercompany transactions will give rise to 
additional tax basis which will be available to offset future taxable income 
of the Company. Management's estimates of the amount of the indemnity payment 
and additional taxable basis are based on certain assumptions which 
management believes are reasonable. However, upon completion of the relevant 
tax forms, including any potential audits, such assumptions could be modified 
in a manner which would result in a significant variance in the actual 
amounts of the tax indemnity and of the additional basis. The Company intends 
to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds from an equity offering to 
make such payment and expects that such payment will be due on or about June 
15, 1998. Such payment will not result in any corresponding increase in the 
Company's assets or cash flows. 
    

2. RECENT ACQUISITIONS 

Delsener/Slater 

   In January 1997, SFX Broadcasting acquired Delsener/Slater, a leading 
concert promotion company, for an aggregate consideration of approximately 
$27,600,000, including $2,900,000 for working capital and the present value 
of deferred payments of $3,000,000 to be paid without interest over five 
years and $1,000,000 to be paid without interest over ten years. 
Delsener/Slater has long-term leases or is the exclusive promoter for seven 
of the major concert venues in the New York City metropolitan area, including 
the Jones Beach Amphitheater, a 14,000-seat complex located in Wantagh, New 
York, and the PNC Bank Arts Center (formerly known as the Garden State Arts 
Center), a 17,500-seat complex located in Holmdel, New Jersey. 

Meadows 

   In March 1997, the Company acquired the stock of certain companies which 
own and operate the Meadows Music Theater (the "Meadows"), a 25,000-seat 
indoor/outdoor complex located in Hartford, Connecticut for $900,000 in cash, 
250,838 shares of SFX Broadcasting Class A Common Stock with a value of 
approximately $7,500,000 and the assumption of approximately $15,400,000 in 
debt. 

   
   In connection with the acquisition of the Meadows, SFX Broadcasting 
obtained an option to repurchase 250,838 shares of its Class A common stock 
(the "Meadows Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $8.3 million (the 
"Meadows Repurchase"). Pursuant to the terms of the SFX Merger Agreement, if 
the Meadows Shares are outstanding at the effective time of the SFX Merger, 
Working Capital would be decreased by approximately $10.5 million. However, 
SFX Broadcasting was restricted from exercising the Meadows Repurchase by 
certain loan covenants and other restrictions. 
    

   In January 1998, Robert F.X. Sillerman, the Executive Chairman of the 
Company, committed to finance the $8.3 million exercise price of the Meadows 
Repurchase in order to avoid the $10.5 million reduction to Working Capital. 
In consideration for such commitment, the board of directors of SFX 
Broadcasting agreed that Mr. Sillerman would receive approximately the number 
of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Spin-Off with respect 
to the Meadows Shares. At the time SFX 

                               F-8           
<PAGE>
   
Broadcasting accepted Mr. Sillerman's commitment, the board of directors of 
SFX Broadcasting valued the Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Spin-Off 
at $4.20 per share, the value attributed to such shares in the fairness 
opinion obtained by SFX Broadcasting in connection with the Broadcasting 
Merger. In April 1998, SFX Broadcasting assigned the option for the Meadows 
Shares to an unaffiliated third party and, in connection therewith, paid such 
party a fee of $75,000. Mr. Sillerman subsequently advanced such party the 
$8.3 million exercise price for the Meadows Repurchase which will become due 
on the earlier of the date on which the Meadows Shares are disposed of by the 
third party or January 16, 1999. If the SFX Merger is consummated, the 
Meadows Shares will be tendered in the SFX Merger without any gain or loss to 
the third party. In the event that the SFX Merger is not consummated on or 
before December 31, 1998, SFX Broadcasting has the option, for a limited 
time, to repurchase the Meadows Shares for an aggregate consideration of 
approximately $10.0 million. The third party has agreed to transfer to Mr. 
Sillerman the Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Spin-Off with respect 
to the Meadows Shares. The transaction has been approved by SFX 
Broadcasting's board of directors, including the independent directors. A 
non-cash charge to earnings of approximately $7.5 million will be recorded in 
the second quarter of 1998 based on the fair value of the shares received by 
Mr. Sillerman as of the date of the Meadows Repurchase. 
    

Sunshine Promotions 

   In June 1997, the Company acquired the stock of Sunshine Promotions, Inc. 
and certain other related Companies ("Sunshine Promotions"), one of the 
largest concert promoters in the Midwest, for $53,900,000 in cash, of which 
$2,000,000 is payable over five years, 62,792 shares of SFX Broadcasting 
Class A Common Stock issued with a value of approximately $2,000,000, shares 
of SFX Broadcasting stock issuable over a two year period with a value of 
approximately $2,000,000 and the assumption of approximately $1,600,000 of 
debt. The shares of stock to be issued in the future are classified as 
deferred purchase consideration on the balance sheet. Sunshine Promotions 
owns the Deer Creek Music Theater, a 21,000-seat complex located in 
Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Polaris Amphitheater, a 20,000-seat complex 
located in Columbus, Ohio, and has a long-term lease to operate the Murat 
Centre (the "Murat"), a 2,700-seat theater and 2,200-seat ballroom located in 
Indianapolis, Indiana. Pursuant to the Broadcasting Merger Agreement, the 
Company is responsible for the payments owing under the Sunshine note, which 
by its terms accelerates upon the change in control of SFX Broadcasting 
resulting from the consummation of the Broadcasting Merger. 

   The Delsener/Slater, Meadows, and Sunshine Promotions acquisitions are 
collectively referred to herein as the "1997 Acquisitions." The cash portion 
of the 1997 Acquisitions were financed through capital contributions from SFX 
Broadcasting and were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. 
The purchase price of Sunshine Promotions has been preliminarily allocated to 
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is subject to change. 

   
Westbury 

   On January 8, 1998, the Company acquired a long-term lease for Westbury 
Music Fair, located in Westbury, New York, for an aggregate consideration of 
approximately $3.0 million and an agreement to issue 75,019 shares of Class A 
Common Stock. During the period between the closing and January 8, 2000, the 
Company has the right to repurchase all of such shares for an aggregate 
consideration of $2.0 million and the seller has the right to require the 
Company to purchase all of such shares for an aggregate consideration of 
$750,000. The purchase price was financed from the Company's cash on hand.

   On February 24, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital 
stock of BG Presents ("BGP"), one of the oldest promoters of, and 
owner-operators of venues for, live entertainment in the United States, and a

total consideration of approximately $80,300,000 (including the repayment of 
$12,000,000 in BGP debt and 

                               F-9           
<PAGE>
the issuance upon the Spin-Off of 562,640 shares of common stock of the 
Company valued by the parties at $7,500,000). The sellers of BGP provided net 
working capital (as defined in the acquisition agreement) at the closing in 
an amount equal to or greater than long-term debt. 

PACE 

   On February 25, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital 
stock of PACE Entertainment Corporation ("PACE"), one of the largest 
diversified producers and promoters of live entertainment in the United 
States, having what the Company believes to be the largest distribution 
network in the United States in each of its music, theater and specialized 
motor sports businesses (the "PACE Acquisition"), for total consideration of 
approximately $150,100,000 (including issuance upon the Spin-Off of 1,500,000 
shares of the Company's common stock valued by the parties at $20,000,000 and 
assumption of approximately $20,600,000 of debt). In related transactions, 
the Company acquired, for total consideration of $90,600,000 comprised of 
$41,400,000 in cash, the repayment of approximately $43,100,000 of debt and 
the assumption of approximately $6,100,000 of debt related to a capital 
lease, the 66 2/3% ownership interests of Blockbuster Entertainment 
Corporation and Sony Music Entertainment, Inc. in Amphitheater Entertainment 
Partnership, a partner of PACE in the Pavilion Partners venue partnership. As 
a result, the Company owns 100% of Pavilion Partners. 

   The PACE acquisition agreement further provides that each seller of PACE 
shall have an option, exercisable during a period beginning on the fifth 
anniversary of the closing of the PACE acquisition and ending 90 days 
thereafter, to require the Company to purchase up to one-third of the PACE 
consideration stock received by such PACE seller for a cash purchase price of 
$33.00 per share. With certain limited exceptions, these option rights are 
not assignable by the PACE sellers. 

   Under the terms of an employment agreement entered into by the Company 
with an officer of PACE, the officer will have the right, two years from the 
date of the acquisition, to purchase PACE's motor sports division at fair 
value. If the motor sports division has been sold by the Company, the officer 
would be entitled to purchase PACE's theatrical division for the fair value. 

   In addition, on March 25, 1998 PACE paid $4,000,000 to acquire a 67% 
interest in certain assets and liabilities of USA Motor Sports. The remaining 
33% interest is owned by the Contemporary Group. 

Contemporary 

   On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired the Contemporary Group 
("Contemporary"), a fully-integrated live entertainment and special event 
promoter and producer, venue owner and operator and consumer marketer, for 
total consideration of approximately $101,400,000 comprised of $72,800,000 in 
cash, a payment for working capital of approximately $9,900,000 and the 
issuance of preferred stock of the Company valued by the parties at 
$18,700,000 which, upon the Spin-Off, was converted into 1,402,850 shares of 
common stock of the Company (the "Contemporary Acquisition"). The 
Contemporary Acquisition involved the merger of Contemporary International 
Productions Corporation with and into the Company, the acquisition by a 
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of substantially all of the assets, 
excluding certain cash and receivables, of the remaining members of 
Contemporary and the acquisition by Contemporary of the 50% interest in the 
Riverport Amphitheater Joint Venture not owned by Contemporary. If any of the 
Contemporary sellers owns any shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock 
received in the Contemporary Acquisition on the second anniversary of the 
closing date and the average trading price of such stock over the 20-day 
period ending on such anniversary date is less than $13.33 per share, then 
the Company will make a one-time cash payment to each individual holding any 
such shares that is equal to the product of (i) the quotient of the 
difference between (A) the actual average trading price per share over such 
20-day period and (B) $13.33 divided by two, multiplied by (ii) the number of 
shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company received by such individual in 
the Contemporary Acquisition and owned as of such anniversary date. 

Network 

   On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired the Network Magazine Group 
("Network Magazine"), a publisher of trade magazines for the radio 
broadcasting industry, and SJS Entertainment Corporation 

                              F-10           
<PAGE>
("SJS"), an independent creator, producer and distributor of music-related 
radio programming, services and research which it exchanges with radio 
broadcasters for commercial air-time sold, in turn, to national network 
advertisers (the "Network Acquisition"), for total consideration of 
approximately $66,800,000 comprised of $52,000,000 in cash, a payment for 
working capital of approximately $1,800,000, reimbursed sellers costs of 
$500,000, the purchase of an office building and property for $2,500,000 and 
the issuance upon the Spin-Off of approximately 750,000 shares of common 
stock of the Company valued by the parties at $10,000,000. The $2,500,000 
purchase of the office building and property is comprised of cash of 
approximately $700,000 and the assumption of debt of approximately 
$1,800,000. The Company is also obligated to pay the sellers an additional 
payment in common stock or, at the Company's option, cash based on future 
operating results, as defined, generated on a combined basis by Network 
Magazine and SJS in 1998, up to a maximum of $14,000,000. In the Network 
Acquisition, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all of 
the outstanding capital stock of each of The Album Network, Inc. and SJS 
Entertainment Corporation and purchased substantially all of the assets and 
properties and assumed substantially all of the liabilities and obligations 
of The Network 40, Inc. 

Concert/Southern 

   
   On March 4, 1998, the Company acquired Concert/Southern Promotions 
("Concert/Southern"), a promoter of live music events in the Atlanta, Georgia 
metropolitan area (the "Concert/Southern Acquisition"), for total cash 
consideration of approximately $16,900,000, which includes a $300,000 payment 
for working capital. 

   The PACE Acquisition, the Contemporary Acquisition, the Network 
Acquisition, the BGP Acquisition and the Concert/Southern Acquisition are 
collectively referred to herein as the "1998 Acquisitions." The cash portion 
of the 1998 Acquisitions were financed with the proceeds of the Notes 
offering and Credit Agreement (see Note 3) and were accounted for under the 
purchase method of accounting. The purchase prices of the 1998 Acquisitions 
have been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed and are subject to change. 
    

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 1998 
include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and certain assets and 
liabilities which were contributed by SFX Broadcasting to the Company in the 
Spin-Off. Operating results for the 1997 Acquisitions and the 1998 
Acquisitions are included herein from their respective acquisition dates. 
Operating results associated with the assets and liabilities to be 
contributed by SFX Broadcasting are included herein. SFX Broadcasting 
provides various administrative services to the Company. It is SFX 
Broadcasting's policy to allocate these expenses on the basis of direct 
usage. In the opinion of management, this method of allocation is reasonable 
and allocated expenses approximate what the Company would have incurred on a 
stand-alone basis. Intercompany transactions and balances have been 
eliminated in consolidation. 

   The following pro forma summary represents the consolidated results for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 as if the 1997 Acquisitions 
and the 1998 Acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of such period after 
giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of intangible 
assets and interest expense on the acquisition debt. These pro forma results 
have been included for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be 
indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions been made as of 
that date or of results which may occur in the future (in thousands).

3. FINANCING 

   On February 11, 1998, SFX completed an offering of $350.0 million of 9 
1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due 2008. Interest is payable on 
the Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. 


                              F-11           
<PAGE>
   
   On February 26, 1998 the Company executed a Credit and Guarantee Agreement 
(the "Credit Agreement") which established a $300.0 million senior secured 
credit facility comprised of (i) a $150.0 million eight-year term loan (the 
"Term Loan") and (ii) a $150.0 million seven-year reducing revolving credit 
facility. Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the 
Company's option, at 1.875 to 2.375 percentage points over LIBOR or the 
greater of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or BNY's prime rate. The 
interest rate spreads on the Term Loan and the Revolver will be adjusted 
based on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit 
Agreement). The Company will pay a per annum commitment fee on unused 
availability under the Revolver of 0.50% to the extent that the Company's 
Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4.0 to 1.0, and 0.375% if such 
ratio is less than 4.0 to 1.0 and a per annum letter of credit fee equal to 
the Applicable LIBOR Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the 
Revolver then in effect. The Revolver and Term Loan contain provisions 
providing that, at its option and subject to certain conditions, the Company 
may increase the amount of either the Revolver or Term Loan by $50.0 million. 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the 
assets of the Company, including a pledge of the outstanding stock of 
substantially all of its subsidiaries and guaranteed by all of the Company's 
subsidiaries. On February 27, 1998, the Company borrowed $150.0 million under 
the Term Loan. As of May 4, 1998 there were no borrowings under the Revolver. 
The Company intends to draw down approximately $125 million of the Revolver 
to fund the Pending Acquisitions (see Note 6). 

4. CAPITAL STOCK 

   In order to facilitate the Spin-Off, the Company recently revised its 
capital structure to increase its authorized capital stock and to effect a 
stock split. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 
110,000,000 shares of Common Stock (comprised of 100,000,000 shares of Class 
A Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock), and 25,000,000 
shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. 

   In the Spin-Off, (a) 13,579,024 shares of Class A Common Stock were 
distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting's 
Class A common stock, Series D preferred stock and interests in SFX 
Broadcasting's director deferred stock ownership plan, (b) 1,047,037 shares 
of Class B Common Stock were distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record 
date of SFX Broadcasting Class B common stock and (c) 609,856 shares were 
placed in escrow to be issued upon the exercise of certain warrants of SFX 
Broadcasting. The financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to 
reflect this transaction. 

   Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote as a single 
class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, with each share 
of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common 
Stock entitled to ten votes, except (a) for the election of directors, (b) 
with respect to any "going private" transaction between the Company and Mr. 
Sillerman or any of his affiliates and (c) as otherwise provided by law. 
    

   The Board of Directors has the authority to issue preferred stock and will 
assign the designations and rights at the time of issuance. 

   
   During January 1998, the Board of Directors and SFX Broadcasting, as sole 
stockholder, approved and adopted a stock option and restricted stock plan 
providing for the issuance of restricted shares of the Company's Class A 
Common Stock and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A Common 
Stock totaling up to 2,000,000 shares. In addition, the Board, upon 
recommendation of the Compensation Committee, has approved the issuance of 
stock options exercisable for 252,500 shares of the Company's Class A Common 
Stock. The options will vest over three years and will have an exercise price 
of $5.50 per share. The Company will record non-cash compensation charges 
over the three-year period of approximately $2 million annually. 

   During January 1998, in connection with the expectation of certain 
executive officers entering into employment agreements with the Company, the 
Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, 
approved the sale of an aggregate of 650,000 shares of the Company's Class B 
Common Stock and 190,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to 
certain officers 
    

                              F-12           
<PAGE>
   
for a purchase price of $2.00 per share. Such shares were issued in April 
1998. A non-cash charge to earnings will be recorded by the Company in the 
second quarter of approximately $24 million associated with the sale. 

   The Board of Directors has also approved the issuance of shares of the 
Company's Class A Common Stock to holders of stock options or stock 
appreciation rights ("SARs") of SFX Broadcasting as of the Spin-Off record 
date, whether or not vested. The issuance was approved to allow such holders 
of these options or SARs to participate in the Spin-Off in a similar manner 
to holders of SFX Broadcasting's Class A Common Stock. Additionally, many of 
the option holders will become officers, directors and employees of the 
Company. 
    

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

   
   While the Company is involved in several law suits and claims arising in 
the ordinary course of business, the Company is not now a party to any legal 
proceeding that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on 
its business, financial position or results of operations. 

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

   In April and May of 1998, the Company entered into agreements and/or

representation businesses: 

FAME 

   The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire Falk Associates 
Management Enterprises, Inc. and Financial Advisory Management Enterprises, 
Inc. (collectively, "FAME"), a leading full-service marketing and management 
company which specializes in the representation of team sports athletes, 
primarily in professional basketball. The aggregate purchase price for FAME 
will be approximately $82.0 million in cash (including approximately $7.9 
million which the Company anticipates paying in order to reimburse the FAME 
sellers for certain taxes which they will be subject to) and 1.0 million 
shares of Class A Common Stock. The agreement provides for payments by the 
Company to the FAME sellers of additional amounts up to $15.0 million in 
equal annual installments over 5 years contingent on the achievement of 
certain operating performance targets. The agreement also provides for 
additional payments by the Company if FAME's operating performance exceed the 
targets by certain amounts. 

Don Law 

   The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of 
Blackstone Entertainment, LLC ("Don Law"), a leading concert and theater 
promoter in New England, for an aggregate consideration of approximately 
$90.0 million (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances), including 
the repayment of approximately $10.0 million in debt. The Company may, at its 
option, pay up to $16.0 million of the purchase price in shares of Class A 
Common Stock. Don Law currently owns and/or operates three venues in New 
England with an aggregate seating capacity of 27,400. Don Law also acts as 
the sole ticket operator for all of its own venues as well as several third 
party venues. 

Avalon 

   The Company entered into letters of intent to acquire all of the 
outstanding equity interests of Irvine Meadows Amphitheater, New Avalon, 
Inc., TBA Media, Inc. and West Coast Amphitheater (collectively, "Avalon") 
for a cash purchase price of $27.0 million (subject to adjustment under 
certain circumstances). Avalon is a leading concert promoter and producer 
that operates predominantly in the Los Angeles area. In addition, the Company 
will be obligated to reimburse the Avalon sellers' third party out of pocket 
costs and expenses incurred in the development of the Camarillo Creek 
Amphitheater (expected to be approximately $400,000). The Company may also be 
obligated to pay an additional $1.0 million to the Avalon sellers if the 
Camarillo Creek Amphitheater has been completed pursuant to certain budget 
projections and the production of entertainment events at the site has 
commenced.

Oakdale 

   
   The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire Oakdale Concerts, LLC 
and Oakdale Development Limited Partnership (collectively, "Oakdale"), a 
promoter and producer of concerts in Connecticut and the owner of the 4,800 
seat Oakdale Music Theater, for a purchase price of $11.9 million in cash. At 
the closing the Company will also make a non-recourse loan to Oakdale in the 
amount of $11.4 million. In addition, the Company may be obligated to make an 
additional payment based on the combined operating performance (as defined in 
the acquisition agreement) of the Oakdale Music Theater and Meadows for 1999. 

EMI 

   The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire an approximately 80% 
interest in Event Merchandising, Inc. ("EMI"), a leading event merchandising 
contractor in the United States for approximately $8.5 million. In addition, 
the Company is required to make a loan to the EMI sellers in an amount equal 
to certain taxes incurred by the EMI sellers in connection with the 
transaction. The Company expects that the amount of the loan will be 
approximately $750,000. EMI has concession contracts with 26 amphitheaters, 
including 13 venues owned and/or operated by the Company. 

   The acquisitions of FAME, Don Law, Avalon, Oakdale and EMI are 
collectively referred to herein as the "Pending Acquisitions." The Company 
intends to use a portion of the proceeds from an equity offering and 
additional borrowings under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the 
"Financing") to consummate the Pending Acquisitions. The Company expects to 
complete all of the Pending Acquisitions in the second quarter of 1998. 
However, the timing and completion of the Pending Acquisitions are subject to 
a number of conditions, certain of which are beyond the Company's control and 
there can be no assurance that any of the Pending Acquisitions will be 
consummated during such period, on the terms described herein, or at all. The 
Company is also currently pursuing certain additional acquisitions; however, 
it has not entered into any definitive agreements with respect to such 
acquisitions and there can be no assurance that it will do so.

for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These

responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position 
of Delsener/Slater Enterprises, Ltd. and Affiliated Companies at December 31, 
1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows 
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                           SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

   SFX Entertainment, Inc. ("SFX" or the "Company") was formed as a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX Broadcasting, Inc. ("SFX Broadcasting") in 
December 1997 and as the parent company of SFX Concerts, Inc ("Concerts"). 
Concerts was formed in January of 1997 to acquire and hold SFX Broadcasting's 
live entertainment operations. During 1997, the Company made several 
acquisitions as described below. The Company had no substantive operations 
until its acquisition of Delsener/Slater Enterprises, Ltd. and Affiliated 
Companies ("Delsener/Slater" or the "Predecessor") in January 1997, and 
Delsener/Slater is considered the Company's predecessor for financial 
reporting purposes. 

 Delsener/Slater 

   In January 1997, SFX Broadcasting acquired Delsener/Slater, a leading 
concert promotion company, for an aggregate consideration of approximately 
$27,600,000, including $2,900,000 for working capital and the present value 
of deferred payments of $3,000,000 to be paid without interest over five 
years and $1,000,000 to be paid without interest over ten years. 
Delsener/Slater has long-term leases or is the exclusive promoter for seven 
of the major concert venues in the New York City metropolitan area, including 
the Jones Beach Amphitheater, a 14,000-seat complex located in Wantagh, New 
York, and the PNC Bank Arts Center (formerly known as the Garden State Arts 
Center), a 17,500-seat complex located in Holmdel, New Jersey. 

 Meadows 

   In March 1997, the Company acquired the stock of certain companies which 
own and operate the Meadows Music Theater (the "Meadows"), a 25,000-seat 
indoor/outdoor complex located in Hartford, Connecticut for $900,000 in cash, 
250,838 shares of SFX Broadcasting Class A Common Stock with a value of 
approximately $7,500,000 and the assumption of approximately $15,400,000 in 
debt. 

   The Company may assume the obligation to exercise an option held by SFX 
Broadcasting to repurchase 250,838 shares of SFX Broadcasting's Class A 
Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $8.3 million (the "Meadows 
Repurchase"). This option was granted in connection with the acquisition of 
the Meadows Music Theater. If the option were exercised by SFX Broadcasting, 
the exercise would result in a reduction of Working Capital as defined in the 
Spin-Off (see below) by approximately $8.3 million. If the option were not 
exercised, Working Capital would decrease by approximately $10.5 million. 

  Sunshine Promotions 

   In June 1997, the Company acquired the stock of Sunshine Promotions, Inc. 
and certain other related Companies ("Sunshine Promotions"), one of the 
largest concert promoters in the Midwest, for $53,900,000 in cash, of which 
$2,000,000 is payable over five years, 62,792 shares of SFX Broadcasting 
Class A Common Stock issued with a value of approximately $2,000,000, shares 
of SFX Broadcasting stock issuable over a two year period with a value of 
approximately $2,000,000 and the assumption of approximately $1,600,000 of 
debt. The shares of stock to be issued in the future are classified as 
deferred purchase consideration on the balance sheet. Sunshine Promotions 
owns the Deer Creek Music Theater, a 21,000-seat complex located in 
Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Polaris Amphitheater, a 20,000-seat complex 
located in Columbus, Ohio, and has a long-term lease to operate the Murat 
Centre (the "Murat"), a 2,700-seat theater and 2,200-seat ballroom located in 
Indianapolis, Indiana. Pursuant to the Broadcasting Merger Agreement, the 
Company is responsible for the payments owing under the Sunshine note, which 
by its terms accelerates upon the change in control of SFX Broadcasting 
resulting from the consummation of the Broadcasting Merger. 

   The Delsener/Slater, Meadows, and Sunshine Promotions acquisitions are 
collectively referred to herein as the "Completed Acquisitions." The cash 
portion of the Completed Acquisitions were financed

through capital contributions from SFX Broadcasting and were accounted for 
under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase prices have been 
preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and are subject to change. 

   
   The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1997 
include the accounts of Delsener/Slater, Sunshine Promotions, the Meadows, 
and certain assets and liabilities which have been contributed by SFX 
Broadcasting to the Company in connection with the Spin-Off (as defined 
herein) under the terms of the Broadcasting Merger (as defined herein) 
Agreement. Operating results for the Completed Acquisitions are included 
herein from their respective acquisition dates. Operating results associated 
with the assets and liabilities to be contributed are included herein. SFX 
Broadcasting provides various administrative services to the Company. It is 
SFX Broadcasting's policy to allocate these expenses on the basis of direct 
usage. In the opinion of management, this method of allocation is reasonable 
and allocated expenses approximate what the Company would have incurred on a 
stand-alone basis. Intercompany transactions and balances among these 
companies have been eliminated in consolidation. 

   The following unaudited pro forma summary represents the consolidated 
results for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 as if the Completed 
Acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of such year after giving effect 
to certain adjustments, including amortization of goodwill and interest 
expense on the acquisition debt. These pro forma results have been included 
for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what 
would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of that date or of 
results which may occur in the future (in thousands).

 Spin-Off 

   In August 1997, SFX Broadcasting agreed to the merger (the "Broadcasting 
Merger Agreement") among SBI Holdings, Inc. (the "Buyer"), SBI Radio 
Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer, and SFX 
Broadcasting (the "Broadcasting Merger") and to the spin-off of the Company 
to the shareholders of SFX Broadcasting (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off was 
completed on April 27, 1998 and the Broadcasting Merger is expected to be 
completed in the second quarter of 1998. 

   Pursuant to the terms of the Spin-Off, SFX Broadcasting contributed to the 
Company all of its concert and other live entertainment assets along with an 
allocation of working capital in an amount estimated by management of SFX 
Broadcasting to be consistent with the proper operation of SFX Broadcasting, 
and the Company assumed all of SFX Broadcasting's liabilities pertaining to 
the live entertainment businesses, as well as certain other liabilities 
including the obligation to make change of control payments to certain 
employees of SFX Broadcasting of approximately $5,000,000 as well as the 
obligation to indemnify one-half of certain of these employees' excise tax. 
At the time of the Broadcasting Merger, SFX Broadcasting will contribute its 
positive Working Capital (as defined in the Broadcasting Merger Agreement) to 
the Company. If Working Capital is negative, the Company must pay the amount 
of the shortfall to SFX Broadcasting. As of December 31, 1997, SFX 
Broadcasting had advanced approximately $11,539,000 to the Company for use in 
connection with certain acquisitions and capital expenditures. This 
obligation and other costs subsequently incurred in connection with the 
Spin-Off were reimbursed with the proceeds from the Senior Subordinated Notes 
and the Credit Agreement (see Note 2). SFX Broadcasting advanced additional 
amounts to the Company prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off which were 
reimbursed in April 1998.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

   SFX Broadcasting and the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement. 
Under the tax sharing agreement, the Company will agree to pay to SFX 
Broadcasting the amount of the tax liability of SFX Broadcasting and the 
Company combined, to the extent properly attributable to the Company for the 
period up to and including the Spin-Off, and will indemnify SFX Broadcasting 
for any tax adjustment made in subsequent years that relates to taxes 
properly attributable to the Company during the period prior to and including 
the Spin-Off. SFX Broadcasting, in turn, will indemnify the Company for any 
tax adjustment made in years subsequent to the Spin-Off that relates to taxes 
properly attributable to the SFX Broadcasting during the period prior to and 
including the Spin-Off. The Company also will be responsible for any taxes of 
SFX Broadcasting resulting from the Spin-Off, including any income taxes but 
only to the extent that the income taxes result from the gain on the 
distribution that exceeds the net operating losses of SFX Broadcasting and 
the Company available to offset such gain including net operating losses 
generated in the current year prior to the Spin-Off. 

   The actual amount of the gain will be based on the excess of the value of 
the Company's Common Stock on the date of the Spin-Off over the tax basis of 
that stock. The Company believes that the value of the Company's Common Stock 
for tax purposes will be determined by no later than the first trading day 
following the date on which the Company's Common Stock is distributed in the 
Spin-Off. Increases or decreases in the value of the Company's Common Stock 
subsequent to such date will not effect the tax liability. The Company 
expects that such indemnity payment will be due on or about June 15, 1998. 

2. RECENT ACQUISITIONS AND FINANCING 

   On February 11, 1998, SFX completed the private placement of $350.0 
million of 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due 2008. Interest 
is payable on the Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. 

   On February 26, 1998 the Company executed a Credit and Guarantee Agreement 
(the "Credit Agreement") which established a $300.0 million senior secured 
credit facility comprised of (i) a $150.0 million eight-year term loan (the 
"Term Loan") and (ii) a $150.0 million seven-year reducing revolving credit 
facility. Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the 
Company's option, at 1.875 to 2.375 percentage points over LIBOR or the 
greater of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or BNY's prime rate. The 
interest rate spreads on the Term Loan and the Revolver will be adjusted 
based on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit 
Agreement). The Company will pay a per annum commitment fee on unused 
availability under the Revolver of 0.50% to the extent that the Company's 
Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4.0 to 1.0, and 0.375% if such 
ratio is less than 4.0 to 1.0 and a per annum letter of credit fee equal to 
the Applicable LIBOR Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the 
Revolver then in effect. The Revolver and Term Loan contain provisions 
providing that, at its option and subject to certain conditions, the Company 
may increase the amount of either the Revolver or Term Loan by $50.0 million. 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the 
assets of the Company, including a pledge of the outstanding stock of 
substantially all of its subsidiaries and guaranteed by all of the Company's 
subsidiaries. On February 27, 1998, the Company borrowed $150.0 million under 
the Term Loan. Together with the proceeds from the Notes, the proceeds from 
the Term Loan were used to finance the Recent Acquisitions (as defined 
below.) 

   On February 24, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital 
stock of BG Presents ("BGP"), one of the oldest promoters of, and 
owner-operators of venues for, live entertainment in the United States, and a 
leading promoter in the San Francisco Bay area (the "BGP Acquisition"), for 
total consideration of approximately $80,300,000 (including the repayment of 
$12,000,000 in BGP debt and the issuance upon the Spin-Off of 562,640 shares 
of common stock of the Company valued by the parties at $7,500,000). The 
sellers of BGP provided net working capital (as defined in the acquisition 
agreement) at the closing in an amount equal to or greater than long-term 
debt.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

   On February 25, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital 
stock of PACE Entertainment Corporation ("PACE"), one of the largest 
diversified producers and promoters of live entertainment in the United 
States, having what the Company believes to be the largest distribution 
network in the United States in each of its music, theater and specialized 
motor sports businesses (the "PACE Acquisition"), for total consideration of 
approximately $150,100,000 (including issuance upon the Spin-Off of 1,500,000 
shares of the Company's common stock valued by the parties at $20,000,000 and 
assumption of approximately $20,600,000 of debt). Under the terms of the 
agreement, additional cash consideration would be required if the deemed 
value of the Company's common stock was less than $13.33 per share as a 
result of changes in the consummation of acquisitions. In related 
transactions, the Company acquired, for total consideration of $90,600,000 
comprised of $41,400,000 in cash, the repayment of approximately $43,100,000 
of debt and the assumption of approximately $6,100,000 of debt related to a 
capital lease, the 66 2/3% ownership interests of Blockbuster Entertainment 
Corporation and Sony Music Entertainment, Inc. in Amphitheater Entertainment 
Partnership, a partner of PACE in the Pavilion Partners venue partnership. As 
a result, the Company owns 100% of Pavilion Partners. 

   The PACE acquisition agreement further provides that each seller of PACE 
shall have an option, exercisable during a period beginning on the fifth 
anniversary of the closing of the PACE acquisition and ending 90 days 
thereafter, to require the Company to purchase up to one-third of the PACE 
consideration stock received by such PACE seller for a cash purchase price of 
$33.00 per share. With certain limited exceptions, these option rights are 
not assignable by the PACE sellers. 

   Under the terms of an employment agreement to be entered into by the 
Company with an officer of PACE, the officer will have the right, two years 
from the date of the acquisition, to purchase PACE's motor sports division at 
fair value. If the motor sports division has been sold by the Company, the 
officer would be entitled to purchase PACE's theatrical division for the fair 
value. 

   On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired the Contemporary Group 
("Contemporary"), a fully-integrated live entertainment and special event 
promoter and producer, venue owner and operator and consumer marketer, for 
total consideration of approximately $101,400,000 comprised of $72,800,000 in 
cash, a payment for working capital of approximately $9,900,000 and the 
issuance upon the Spin-Off of 1,402,850 shares of common stock of the Company 
valued by the parties at $18,700,000. (the "Contemporary Acquisition"). The 
Contemporary Acquisition involved the merger of Contemporary International 
Productions Corporation with and into the Company, the acquisition by a 
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of substantially all of the assets, 
excluding certain cash and receivables, of the remaining members of 
Contemporary and the acquisition by Contemporary of the 50% interest in the 
Riverport Amphitheater Joint Venture not owned by Contemporary. If any of the 
Contemporary sellers owns any shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock 
received in the Contemporary Acquisition on the second anniversary of the 
closing date and the average trading price of such stock over the 20-day 
period ending on such anniversary date is less than $13.33 per share, then 
the Company will make a one-time cash payment to each individual holding any 
such shares that is equal to the product of (i) the quotient of the 
difference between (A) the actual average trading price per share over such 
20-day period and (B) $13.33 divided by two, multiplied by (ii) the number of 
shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company received by such individual in 
the Contemporary Acquisition and owned as of such anniversary date. 

   On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired the Network Magazine Group 
("Network Magazine"), a publisher of trade magazines for the radio 
broadcasting industry, and SJS Entertainment Corporation ("SJS"), an 
independent creator, producer and distributor of music-related radio 
programming, services and research which it exchanges with radio broadcasters 
for commercial air-time sold, in turn, to national network advertisers (the 
"Network Acquisition"), for total consideration of approximately $66,800,000 
comprised of $52,000,000 in cash, a payment for working capital of 
approximately $1,800,000,

reimbursed sellers costs of $500,000, the purchase of an office building and 
property for $2,500,000 and the issuance upon the Spin-Off of 750,188 shares 
of common stock of the Company valued by the parties at $10,000,000. The 
$2,500,000 purchase of the office building and property is comprised of cash 
of approximately $700,000 and the assumption of debt of approximately 
$1,800,000. The Company is also obligated to pay the sellers an additional 
payment in common stock or, at the Company's option, cash based on future 
operating results, as defined, generated on a combined basis by Network 
Magazine and SJS in 1998, up to a maximum of $14,000,000. In the Network 
Acquisition, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all of 
the outstanding capital stock of each of The Album Network, Inc. and SJS 
Entertainment Corporation and purchased substantially all of the assets and 
properties and assumed substantially all of the liabilities and obligations 
of the Network 40, Inc. 

   On March 4, 1998, the Company acquired Concert/Southern Promotions 
("Concert/Southern"), a promoter of live music events in the Atlanta, Georgia 
metropolitan area (the "Concert/Southern Acquisition"), for total cash 
consideration of approximately $16,900,000, which includes a $300,000 payment 
for working capital. 

   The PACE Acquisition, the Contemporary Acquisition, the Network 
Acquisition, the BGP Acquisition and the Concert/Southern Acquisition are 
collectively referred to herein as the "Recent Acquisitions." 

   Each of the Recent Acquisition agreements other than Concert/Southern 
provide that, should the Spin-Off not occur prior to July 1, 1998, the 
sellers may require the Company to repurchase the shares of the Company's 
common stock issued to the sellers for $13.33 each. 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 

 Cash and Cash Equivalents 

   The Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of three 
months or less to be cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash equivalents 
at December 31, 1997 is $1,235,000 of cash which has been deposited in a 
separate account and will be used to fund committed capital expenditures at 
PNC Bank Arts Center. 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 

   Land, buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment are stated at 
cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated 
useful lives of the assets as follows: 
    

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>                              <C>
Buildings and improvements  ....7-40 years 
Furniture and equipment ........ 5-7 years 
</TABLE>

   
   Leasehold improvements represent the capitalized costs to renovate the 
Jones Beach Theatre. The costs to renovate the theatre included permanent 
seats, a new stage and lavatory facilities. These costs are being amortized 
over the term of the lease. 

 Goodwill 

   Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market 
value of the assets purchased in the Completed Acquisitions and is net of 
accumulated amortization of $2,745,000. Goodwill is being amortized using the 
straight-line method over 15 years. Management reviews the carrying value of 
goodwill against anticipated cash flows on a non-discounted basis to 
determine whether the carrying amount will be recoverable. 

 Other Assets 

   Other assets includes $4,928,000 of costs associated with acquiring the 
right to receive fees from Triathlon Broadcasting Company ("Triathlon"), an 
affiliate, for certain financial consulting, marketing and

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

administrative services provided by the Company to Triathlon. Under the terms 
of the agreement, the Company has agreed to provide consulting and marketing 
services to Triathlon for an annual fee of $500,000, together with a 
refundable advance of $500,000 per year against fees to be earned in respect 
of transactional investment banking services. These fees, which are recorded 
as a reduction of corporate, general and administrative expenses, will 
fluctuate based upon the level of acquisition and financing activity of 
Triathlon. The cost of acquiring the fees is being amortized over the term of 
the agreement which expires on June 1, 2005. Triathlon has announced its 
intention to enhance shareholder value through a sale. The Company's 
management believes that the capitalized cost of acquiring the right to 
receive fees from Triathlon is recoverable. 

 Revenue Recognition 

   The Company's operations and revenues are largely seasonal in nature, with 
generally higher revenue generated in the second and third quarters of the 
year. The Company's outdoor venues are primarily utilized in the summer 
months and do not generate substantial revenue in the late fall, winter and 
early spring. Similarly, the musical concerts that the Company promotes 
largely occur in the second and third quarters. To the extent that the 
Company's entertainment marketing and consulting relate to musical concerts, 
they also predominantly generate revenues in the second and third quarters. 

   Revenue from ticket sales is recognized upon occurrence of the event. 
Advance ticket sales are recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. 

 Risks and Uncertainties 

   Accounts receivable are due principally from ticket companies and venue 
box offices. These amounts are typically collected within 20 days of a 
performance. Generally, management considers these accounts receivable to be 
fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is 
required. Certain other accounts receivable, arising from the normal course 
of business, are reviewed for collectibility and allowances for doubtful 
accounts are recorded as required. Management believes that no allowance for 
doubtful accounts is required at December 31, 1996 or 1997. 

   The agreement governing the partnership through which PACE holds its 
interest in the Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia contains a 
provision that purports to restrict PACE and its affiliates from directly or 
indirectly owning or operating another amphitheater in Atlanta. In 
management's view, this provision will not materially affect the business or 
prospects of the Company. However, the Company acquired an interest in the 
Chastain Park Amphitheater, also in Atlanta, in the Concert/Southern 
acquisition. The Company intends to seek a waiver. 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and 
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 Advertising Costs 

   Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $7,109,000, 
$4,896,000 and $2,687,000 in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. 

 Income Taxes 

   The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This 
statement requires a company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities 
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized 
in a company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference 
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities.

   The Company calculates its tax provision on a separate company basis. 

 Reclassification 

   Certain amounts in 1995 and 1996 have been reclassified to conform to the 
1997 presentation. 

4. CONNECTICUT DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT 

   On September 12, 1994, the Connecticut Development Authority ("CDA") 
entered into a non-recourse assistance agreement with the Meadows whereby the 
CDA provided grant funds for the construction and development of the Meadows 
through the issuance of State of Connecticut General Fund Obligation Bonds 
("GFO Bonds"). The Meadows received bond proceeds of $8,863,000. Pursuant to 
such agreement, the annual tax revenues derived from the operation of the 
amphitheater are utilized to satisfy the annual service requirements under 
the GFO Bonds. In the event that annual tax revenues derived from the 
operation of the amphitheater do not equal annual service requirements under 
the GFO Bonds, the Company must deposit the lesser of the operating 
shortfall, as defined, or 10% of the annual service under the GFO Bonds. An 
operating shortfall has not existed since the inception of the CDA. The GFO 
Bonds mature on October 15, 2024 and have an average coupon rate of 6.33%. 
Annual service requirements, including interest, on the GFO Bonds for each of 
the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

                $20,095 
               ======== 
</TABLE>

   
   The assistance agreement requires an annual Meadows attendance of at least 
400,000 for each of the first three years of operations. It will not be 
considered an event of default if the annual Meadows attendance is less than 
400,000 provided that no operating shortfall exists for that year or if an 
operating shortfall exists such amount has been deposited by the Company. If 
there is an event of default, the CDA may foreclose on the construction 
mortgage loan (see Note 5). If the amphitheater's operations are relocated 
outside of Connecticut during the ten year period subsequent to the beginning 
of the assistance agreement or during the period of the construction mortgage 
loan, the full amount of the grant funds plus a penalty of 5% must be repaid 
to the State of Connecticut. 

5. LONG-TERM DEBT 

   The Predecessor did not have any long-term debt as of December 31, 1996. 
As of December 31, 1997, the company's long-term debt, which is recorded at 
present value, consisted of the following (in thousands):

 Meadows CDA Mortgage Loan 

   On September 12, 1994, the CDA entered into a construction mortgage loan 
agreement for $7,685,000 with the Meadows. The purpose of the loan was to 
finance a portion of the construction and development of the Meadows. The 
loan agreement contains substantially the same covenants as the CDA 
assistance agreement (see Note 4). The mortgage loan bears interest at 8.73% 
and is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest. The 
mortgage loan matures on October 15, 2019. 

   The loan is collateralized by a lien on the Meadows' assets. The loan is 
secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by the Company in 
the amount of $785,000. 

 Meadows Concession Agreement Loans 

   In connection with the Meadows' concession agreement, the concessionaire 
loaned the Meadows $4,500,000 in 1995 to facilitate the construction of the 
amphitheater. Principal and interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum on the 
note is payable via withholdings of the first $31,299 from each monthly 
concession commission payment. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding 
balance was $4,343,000. 

   During 1995, the concessionaire loaned the Meadows an additional 
$1,000,000. This loan bears interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum and is 
payable via withholdings of an additional $11,900 of principal, plus 
interest, from each monthly concession commission payment through December 
20, 2002. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding balance was $679,000. 

   The concession agreement also required the Company to supply certain 
equipment to the concessionaire at the Company's expense. The cost of the 
equipment purchased by the concessionaire was converted to a note payable for 
$884,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 9.25% per annum and provides 
for monthly principal and interest payments of $10,185. However, the Company 
is not required to make any principal or interest payments to the extent that 
5% of receipts, as defined, in any month are less than the amount of the 
payment due. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding balance was $850,000. 

 Meadows CDA Construction Loan 

   In March 1997, the Meadows entered into a $1,500,000 loan agreement with 
the CDA of which $1,000,000 was funded in March 1997. Principal payments of 
$150,000 are due on July 1 and October 1 of each year commencing July 1, 1997 
through October 1, 2001. The note bears interest at the rate of 8.9% per 
annum through February 1, 1998, and thereafter at the index rate, as defined, 
plus 2.5%. In addition, the Meadows is required to make principal payments in 
an amount equal to 10% of the annual gross revenue, as defined, in excess of 
$13,000,000 on or before the March 1 following each calendar year commencing 
March 1, 1998. In 1997, gross revenues did not exceed the defined threshold 
and thus no principal payment was made on March 1, 1998.

7. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES 

   The Company is a 49% partner in a general partnership which subleases a 
theater located in New York City. Income associated with the promotion of 
concerts at this theater is recorded as concert revenue. Any such promotion 
revenue recognized reduces the Company's share of the partnership's profits. 
The Company is also a one-third partner in GSAC Partners, a general 
partnership through which it shares in the income or loss of the PNC Bank 
Arts Center at varying percentages based on the partnership agreement. The 
Company records these investments on the equity method. In connection with 
the PACE Acquisition, the Company agreed to purchase the interest in GSAC 
Partners that it did not already own and in 1998 completed the purchase. 
Thus, the financial position and operations of GSAC Partners will be 
consolidated into those of the Company beginning in 1998. 

   The following is a summary of the unaudited financial position and results 
of operations of the Company's equity investees (GSAC Partners in 1997 and 
1996 only) as of and for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 (in

</TABLE>

   
   No Federal income taxes were provided in 1997 as a result of the Company's 
inclusion in the consolidated federal income tax return with SFX 
Broadcasting. If the Company had filed on a stand alone basis, its federal 
tax provision would have been approximately $2,050,000, consisting of 
$1,760,000 in current taxes and approximately $290,000 of deferred taxes. The 
Predecessor had no Federal tax provision in 1996 or 1995 by virtue of the 
status of its profitable included companies as S Corporations. State income 
taxes were provided to the extent that S Corporation status was not 
recognized. 

   Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences 
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting 
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The significant 
components of the Company's deferred tax asset and liabilities as of December 
31, 1997 are as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

   
   The Predecessor had no deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 1996. 

   The acquisition of the Meadows resulted in the recognition of deferred tax 
liabilities of approximately $3,200,000 under the purchase method of 
accounting. These amounts were based upon the excess of the financial 
statement basis over the tax basis in assets, principally fixed assets. The 
acquisition of Delsener/Slater resulted in the recognition of deferred tax 
assets of approximately $1,200,000 under the purchase method of accounting. 
These amounts were based upon the excess of the financial statements basis 
over the tax basis in assets, principally deferred compensation.

   The Company has committed to expansion projects at the Jones Beach Theater 
and PNC Bank Arts Center and, in connection with the BGP Acquisition, for the 
construction of a new amphitheater in the Seattle, Washington market. The 
Jones Beach Theater and PNC Bank Arts Center expansions are expected to be 
completed in June 1998 and to cost approximately $15,000,000 and $10,500,000, 
respectively. As of December 31, 1997, approximately $1,018,000 and 
$1,500,000, respectively, of these costs have been incurred. The new 
amphitheater in Seattle is expected to cost $10,000,000 and is expected to be 
completed in the spring of 1999. 

   As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, outstanding letters of credit for 
$1,110,000 and $400,000, respectively, were issued by banks on behalf of the 
Company as security for loans and the rental of theaters. 

   In connection with the acquisition of Delsener/Slater, SFX Broadcasting 
entered into an employment agreement with each of Ron Delsener and Mitch 
Slater pursuant to which each of Messrs. Delsener and Slater serve as 
Co-President and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Delsener/Slater. Each of the 
employment agreements continues until December 31, 2001 unless terminated 
earlier by the Company for cause or voluntarily by Mr. Delsener or Mr. 
Slater.

                           SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

   In certain cases, Messrs. Delsener and Slater have rights to purchase the 
outstanding capital stock of Delsener/Slater for fair market value as defined 
in their employment agreements. 

   Additionally, in the case of a return event, as defined, which may be 
deemed to include the Spin-Off, the Broadcasting Merger and related 
transactions, Messrs. Delsener and Slater have the right to receive a portion 
of the excess of the proceeds of the return event over a fixed amount 
determined in reference to the original purchase price for Delsener/Slater, 
all as calculated pursuant to the Delsener and Slater employment agreements. 
Management believes that, with respect to the Spin-Off, the Broadcasting 
Merger and related transactions, no payment will accrue to Mr. Delsener or 
Mr. Slater pursuant to their employment agreements. 

   The employment agreements further provide that Messrs. Delsener and Slater 
shall be paid annual bonuses determined with reference to Delsener/Slater 
profits, as defined, for the immediately preceding year. Management believes 
that no such bonus was earned for the year ended December 31, 1997. 

   Messrs. Delsener and Slater and the Company are in the process of 
negotiating amendments to their employment agreements to reflect, among other 
things, the changes to the business of the Company as a result of the Recent 
Acquisitions and the Spin-Off, and each of Messrs. Delsener and Slater have 
agreed in principle to waive any rights which may accrue in connection with 
the Broadcasting Merger or the Spin-Off. The Company also expects, in 
connection with the foregoing, to negotiate mutually satisfactory amendments 
to certain of Messrs. Delsener's and Slater's compensation arrangements, 
including bonus and profit sharing provisions. 

10.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

   The Company's Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Director is Of 
Counsel to the law firm of Baker & McKenzie. Baker & McKenzie serves as 
counsel to the Company in certain matters. Baker & McKenzie compensates the 
executive based, in part, on the fees it receives from providing legal 
services to the Company and other clients originated by the executive. In 
1997, the Company incurred fees of approximately $2,948,000 for legal 
services related to the Recent Acquisitions. Such fees were funded by SFX 
Broadcasting on behalf of the Company. In February 1998, the Company 
reimbursed SFX Broadcasting for these fees. 

   Due to stockholder represents the balance due to Mr. Delsener on his 
advances to renovate the Jones Beach Theatre (the "Jones Beach Loan") and the 
PNC Bank Arts Center (the "PNC Loan"). Delsener /Slater paid interest at 8% 
per annum on the Jones Beach Loan, which was repaid in May 1996. The PNC 
Loan, which was originated in 1996 was repaid in connection with the 
acquisition of Delsener/Slater by SFX Broadcasting in 1997 (See Note 1). 

11. CAPITAL STOCK 

   In order to facilitate the Spin-Off, the Company recently revised its 
capital structure to increase its authorized capital stock and to effect a 
stock split. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 
110,000,000 shares of Common Stock (comprised of 100,000,000 shares of Class 
A Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock), and 25,000,000 
shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. 

   In the Spin-Off, (a) 13,579,024 shares of Class A Common Stock were 
distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting's 
Class A common stock, Series D preferred stock and interests in SFX 
Broadcasting's director deferred stock ownership plan, (b) 1,047,037 shares 
of Class B Common Stock were distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record 
date of SFX Broadcasting Class B common stock and (c) 609,856 shares were 
placed in escrow to be issued upon the exercise of certain warrants of SFX 
Broadcasting. The financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to 
reflect this transaction.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

   
   Holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote and 
holders of the Company's Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes on 
all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders except for (a) the election 
of directors, (b) with respect to any "going private" transaction involving 
the Chairman and (c) as otherwise provided by law. 

   The Board of Directors has the authority to issue preferred stock and will 
assign the designations and rights at the time of issuance. 

12.  DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN 

   The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan in which most 
full-time employees are eligible to participate. The Plan presently provides 
for discretionary employer contributions. There were no contributions in 
1997. 

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED) 

   During January 1998, the Board of Directors and SFX Broadcasting, as sole 
stockholder, approved and adopted a stock option and restricted stock plan 
providing for the issuance of restricted shares of the Company's Class A 
Common Stock and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A Common 
Stock totaling up to 2,000,000 shares. 

   During January 1998, in connection with certain executive officers 
entering into employment agreements with the Company, the Board of Directors, 
upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the sale of an 
aggregate of 650,000 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock and 90,000 
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to certain executive officers 
for a purchase price of $2.00 per share. Such shares will be issued on or 
about the effective date of the Spin-Off. A substantial non-cash charge to 
earnings will be recorded by the Company at the time of the Spin-Off based on 
then fair value of such shares. 

   In addition, the Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, 
has approved the issuance of stock options exercisable for 245,000 shares of 
the Company's Class A Common Stock. The options will vest over three years 
and will have an exercise price of $5.50 per share. The Company will record 
non-cash compensation charges over the three-year period to the extent that 
the fair value of the Company's Class A Common Stock exceeds the exercise 
price. 

   Further, the Board of Directors has approved the issuance of shares of the 
Company's Class A Common Stock to holders of stock options or stock 
appreciation rights ("SARs") of SFX Broadcasting as of the Spin-Off record 
date, whether or not vested. The issuance was approved to allow such holders 
of these options or SARs to participate in the Spin-Off in a similar manner 
to holders of SFX Broadcasting's Class A Common Stock. Additionally, many of 
the option holders will become officers, directors and employees of the 
Company. 

   In January 1998, Mr. Sillerman committed to finance the $8.3 million 
exercise price of the Meadows Repurchase in order to avoid the $10.5 million 
reduction to Working Capital. In consideration for such commitment, the board 
of directors of SFX Broadcasting agreed that Mr. Sillerman would receive the 
Company Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Spin-Off with respect to the 
Meadows Shares. In April 1998, SFX Broadcasting assigned the option for the 
Meadows Shares to an unaffiliated third party and, in connection therewith, 
paid such party a fee of $75,000. Mr. Sillerman subsequently advanced such 
party the $8.3 million exercise price for the Meadows Repurchase which will 
become due on the earlier of the date on which the Meadows Shares are 
disposed of by the third party or January 16, 1999. In the event the Meadows 
Shares are tendered in the SFX Merger, the third party has agreed to pay 
$10.5 million to the Company, which is an amount equal to the Meadows 
Reduction. In the event that the SFX Merger is not consummated on or before 
December 31, 1998, SFX Broadcasting has the option, for a limited time, to 
repurchase the Meadows Shares for an aggregate consideration of approximately 
$10.0 million. The third party has agreed to transfer to Mr. Sillerman the 
Company Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Spin-Off with respect to the 
Meadows Shares.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 

To the Shareholders of Connecticut Performing Arts, Inc. and 
the Partners of Connecticut Performing Arts Partners: 

   We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Connecticut 
Performing Arts, Inc. and Connecticut Performing Arts Partners (collectively, 
the Company) as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related combined 
statements of operations, shareholders' and partners' equity (deficit) and 
cash flows for the years then ended. These combined financial statements are 
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 
December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash 
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

   Operations -- 

   Connecticut Performing Arts, Inc. (the Company) and Connecticut Performing 
Arts Partners (the Partnership) were incorporated and formed, respectively, 
in 1993 pursuant to the laws of the State of Connecticut. The Company's 
shareholders and the Partnership's partners are Nederlander of Connecticut, 
Inc. and Connecticut Amphitheater Development Corporation. The Company's 
shareholders and the Partnership's partners changed in March 1997 (see Note 
10). The Company and Partnership are engaged in the ownership and operation 
of an amphitheater in Hartford, Connecticut. The construction of the 
amphitheater commenced in December 1994 and amphitheater operations commenced 
in July 1995. 

   Principles of combination -- 

   The combined financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 
the Partnership after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. 

   Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements -- 

   The preparation of 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 financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

   Plant and equipment -- 

   Plant and equipment is carried at cost. Major additions and betterments 
are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not 
extend the lives of the assets are charged to operations as incurred. Upon 
the disposition of plant and equipment, any resulting gain or loss is 
recognized in the statement of operations as a component of income. 

   The Company received grant funds from the City of Hartford and Connecticut 
Development Authority related to the construction of the amphitheater (see 
Note 4). Such amounts have been accounted for as a reduction in the cost of 
the amphitheater. 

   Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided for, commencing when such 
assets become operational, using straight-line and accelerated methods over 
the following estimated useful lives:

   Effective January 1, 1996, the Company and Partnership adopted Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" which had no 
effect upon adoption. This statement requires that long-lived assets and 
certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used by an entity be 
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

   Deferred costs -- 

   
   Deferred costs consist of start-up costs being amortized over a period of 
5 years and deferred financing costs being amortized over the term of the 
related debt (24 years and 4 months). As of December 31, 1995 and 1996 
deferred costs were as follows:

   Deposit -- 

   The deposit represents a deposit held by the City of Hartford related to 
an employment agreement between the Partnership and the City of Hartford for 
priority hiring of Hartford residents and utilization of minority business 
enterprise or women business enterprise contractors and vendors in the future 
operation of the amphitheater. The deposit will be returned to the 
Partnership in December 1997 if the Partnership is in compliance with the 
employment agreement. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has 
compensated the City of Hartford for noncompliance with the terms of the 
agreement in connection with the construction of the facility and the hiring 
of contractors and the City of Hartford has agreed to make no additional 
claims with respect to this matter. 

   Income taxes -- 

   The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This 
statement requires a company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities 
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized 
in a company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference 
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards available for tax 
reporting purposes, using the applicable tax rates for the years in which the 
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded on 
deferred tax assets unless realization is more likely than not. 

   The income tax effects of the operations of the Partnership accrue to the 
partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership agreement and are 
not reflected in the accompanying combined financial statements. 

   Revenue recognition -- 

   Revenue from ticket sales is recognized upon occurrence of the event. 
Advance ticket sales are recorded as deferred income until the event occurs. 
Ticket revenue is recorded net of payments in lieu of taxes under the terms 
of the City of Hartford lease (see Note 6) and admission taxes. 

   Advertising -- 

   The Company expenses the cost of advertising when the specific event takes 
place. Advertising expense was $639,424 and $689,160 for the years ended 
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

2. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: 

   Common stock -- 

   
   The Company is authorized to issue 5,000 shares of common stock with no 
par value. The subscription receivable of $100 as of December 31, 1996 
represents the amount due from shareholders for 100 shares of common stock at 
$10 per share, of which $900 was received in February 1995. 

   Preferred stock -- 

   The Company is authorized to issue 295,000 shares of preferred stock at no 
par value. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, 125,000 of such shares have been 
designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 125,000 of such shares have been 
designated as Series B Preferred Stock. Series A and Series B Preferred Stock 
are not entitled to dividends and have liquidation rights of $10 per share. 

   Series A Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable at the rate of 20,835 
shares commencing December 31, 1995 (the Initial Redemption Date) and an 
aggregate of 20,833 shares on each six month anniversary of the Initial 
Redemption Date until all 125,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have 
been redeemed, at $11.445 per share. As of December 31, 1996, no shares of 
Series A Preferred Stock had been redeemed. The Company is accreting the 
difference between the redemption price and the proceeds per share over the 
period from the issuance date to the respective scheduled redemption dates. 

   Series B Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable at a per share price of 
$10 in whole or in part at the option of the Company at any such time as 
legally available funds, as defined in the resolution establishing and 
designating the preferred stock, are available. On the tenth anniversary of 
the completion date of the amphitheater any Series B Preferred Stock 
outstanding shall be redeemed by the Company at a per share price of $10. 

   The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock will not be redeemed if such 
redemption would result in a violation of the provisions of the Connecticut 
Development Authority assistance agreement (see Note 4) or the mortgage loan 
agreement (see Note 5). 

3. PARTNERS' EQUITY: 

   In 1993, Nederlander of Connecticut, Inc. and Connecticut Amphitheater 
Development Corporation each made an initial capital contribution of 
$250,000. 

4. GRANT FUNDS: 

   Connecticut Development Authority (CDA) Assistance Agreement -- 

   On September 12, 1994, the CDA entered into a non-recourse assistance 
agreement with the Company whereby the CDA provided grant funds for the 
construction and development of an amphitheater in the City of Hartford (the 
Project) through the issuance of State of Connecticut General Fund Obligation 
Bonds (GFO Bonds). The Company received bond proceeds of $8,863,000, which 
amount is net of CDA bond issuance costs of $593,000 and withholdings of 
$429,000 by the CDA to cover the expected operating shortfall, as discussed 
below, through December 31, 1995. Commencing January 1, 1996, the annual tax 
revenues derived from the operation of the amphitheater are utilized to 
satisfy the annual debt service requirements under the GFO Bonds. In the 
event that annual tax revenues derived from the operation of the amphitheater 
do not equal annual debt service requirements under the GFO Bonds, the 
Company must deposit the lesser of the operating shortfall, as defined, or 
10% of the annual debt service under the GFO Bonds. An operating shortfall 
did not exist for the year ended December 31, 1996. The GFO Bonds mature on 
October 15, 2024 and have an average coupon rate of 6.33%. Annual debt 
service requirements on the GFO Bonds for each of the next five years and 
thereafter are as follows:

   The assistance agreement requires an annual attendance of at least 400,000 
for each of the first three years of operations. It will not be considered an 
event of default if the annual attendance is less than 400,000 provided that 
no operating shortfall exists for that year or if an operating shortfall 
exists such amount has been deposited by the Company. If there is an event of 
default, the CDA may foreclose on the construction mortgage loan (see Note 
5). If the amphitheater's operations are relocated outside of Connecticut 
during the ten year period subsequent to the assistance agreement or during 
the period of the construction mortgage loan, the full amount of the grant 
funds plus a penalty of 5% must be repaid to the State of Connecticut. 

   City of Hartford Grant Funds -- 

   On February 15, 1995 the Company entered into an agreement with the City 
of Hartford whereby the City of Hartford provided grant funds of $2,050,000 
for the remediation and closure of a solid waste disposal area near the 
amphitheater. As of December 31, 1995 all funds had been received by the 
Company. 

5. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT: 

   Notes payable -- 

   In October 1995, the Company entered into two notes payable with related 
parties for an aggregate of $2,000,000. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, 
$1,450,000 and $1,100,000, respectively was outstanding on these notes. The 
notes bear interest at 6.6% per annum and are payable upon demand. 

   CDA mortgage loan -- 

   On September 12, 1994, CDA entered into a construction mortgage loan 
agreement for $7,685,000 with the Company. The purpose of the loan was to 
finance a portion of the construction and development of the amphitheater. 
The loan agreement contains substantially the same covenants as the CDA 
assistance agreement (see Note 4). As of December 31, 1995, proceeds of 
$6,519,000, which amount is net of deferred financing costs of approximately 
$1,166,000, had been received by the Company.

   The loan is guaranteed by the Company's shareholders and is collateralized 
by a lien on the Company's assets. As of December 31, 1996, the loan was 
secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a shareholder of 
the Company in the amount of $785,000. The letter of credit was replaced in 
March 1997 by a letter of credit issued by a new shareholder (see Note 10). 

   Ogden Entertainment, Inc. (OE) Concession Agreement -- 

   In October 1994, the Partnership entered into a concession agreement with 
OE which provides for the payment of concession commissions to the 
Partnership. In connection with the concession agreement, OE loaned the 
Partnership $4,500,000 in 1995 to facilitate the construction of the 
amphitheater. On December 30, 1996, the concession agreement was amended and 
restated retroactively to October 18, 1994. In accordance with the terms of 
the amended agreement, which expires on July 7, 2025, interest only, at the 
6-month LIBOR rate, through July 7, 1995 and principal and interest, at the 
rate of 7.5% per annum, were due on the note payable via withholdings of the 
first $41,716 from each monthly commission payment commencing July 20, 1995 
through December 20, 1995. Effective January 2, 1996, and through the term of 
the amended concession agreement, principal and interest, at the rate of 7.5% 
per annum on the note is payable via withholdings of the first $31,299 from 
each monthly commission payment. 

   OE loaned the Partnership an additional $1,000,000 during 1995. This loan 
bears interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum and is payable via withholdings 
of an additional $11,900 of principal, plus interest, from each monthly 
commission payment through December 20, 2002. As of December 31, 1996, 
aggregate future principal payments to OE are as follows:

Equipment). The Initial Equipment was purchased by OE at a cost of $850,933 
and the Partnership was obligated to reimburse OE for the cost of the 
equipment. Accordingly, this amount was reflected as an accrued expense in 
the accompanying combined balance sheet as of December 31, 1995. In 1996, in 
connection with the amended concession agreement, the $850,933, and an 
additional $33,067 related to 1996 equipment purchases, was converted to a 
note payable for $884,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 9.25% per

   We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of DEER CREEK 
PARTNERS, L.P. (formerly Sand Creek Partners, L.P.) and MURAT CENTRE, L.P., 
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related combined statements of 
operations and partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended 
December 31, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility 
of the Partnerships' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on these financial statements based on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the combined financial position of Deer Creek 
Partners, L.P. and Murat Centre, L.P. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and 
the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the years

               DEER CREEK PARTNERS, L.P. AND MURAT CENTRE, L.P. 
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 a. Organization 

   Prior to 1997 (See Note 10) Deer Creek Partners, L.P. (the Deer Creek 
Partnership) owned and operated Deer Creek Music Center (Deer Creek), a 
concert amphitheater located in Hamilton County, near Indianapolis, Indiana 
which commenced operations in 1989. Sand Creek Partners, L.P. (the general 
partner) was a 50% general partner and is responsible for the management of 
the Deer Creek Partnership. Conseco, Inc. (Conseco) was a 50% limited partner 
of the Deer Creek Partnership. All distributable cash, as defined by the Deer 
Creek partnership agreement, is to be distributed equally between the 
Partners. 

   The Deer Creek Partnership was formed on January 5, 1996 as a result of 
Conseco exercising its option to become a 50% owner of Deer Creek. Deer Creek 
was previously 100% owned by Sand Creek Partners, L.P. This change in 
ownership has been accounted for as a reorganization, and thus the carrying 
value of the assets and liabilities related to Deer Creek remain unchanged as 
a result of the reorganization. 

   Murat Centre, L.P. (Murat Partnership), formed on August 1, 1995, leases 
and operates the Murat Theatre (Theatre), a renovated concert and 
entertainment venue located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The Theatre's 
grand reopening was in March, 1996. The Theatre is currently owned by and was 
previously operated by the Murat Temple Association, Inc. Murat Centre, Inc. 
is the general partner and is responsible for management of the Theatre. 
Profits and losses of the Murat Partnership are allocated 1% to the general 
partner and 99% to the limited partners. Distributions to partners are 
generally limited to the income taxes payable by the partners as a result of 
taxable income generated by the Murat Partnership. To the extent that cash 
flow for the applicable year exceeds all payment requirements as discussed in 
Note 3, the excess shall be distributed to the partners. 

   In connection with reopening the Theatre, the Murat Partnership expended 
approximately $11.7 million for renovations which began in 1995. Start-up and 
organizational costs of approximately $85,000 in 1995 and $90,000 in 1996 
were expensed as incurred and have been included in general and 
administrative expenses in the combined statement of operations for the years 
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. The building is leased under a 50 year 
operating lease with options for 5 additional consecutive 10 year periods 
under the same terms and conditions as the initial 50 year lease. 

 b. Basis of Accounting 

   The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. Such principles require management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, 
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date 
of financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the 
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. 

 c. Property and Equipment 

   Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. 
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated 
useful lives of the assets. Buildings are depreciated over forty years, 
leasehold improvements over thirty years, site improvements over twenty 
years, and furniture and equipment over five to seven years. 

 d. Loan Acquisition Costs 

   Loan acquisition costs represent agency and commitment fees paid to the 
lenders, closing costs and legal fees incurred in connection with the notes 
payable (see Note 2). These fees are being amortized on a straight-line basis 
over a fifteen year period, which represented the approximate term of the 
related debt.

            NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 

 e. Deferred Revenue 

   Deferred revenue includes individual show ticket revenue, season ticket 
revenue, and corporate box seat revenue received in advance of events or the 
next concert season and will be recognized over the period in which the shows 
are held. A portion of the deferred revenue was derived from the bartering of 
tickets for goods and services related to the Murat renovation. Barter 
transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the materials or 
service received. 

   
 f. Income Taxes 

   No provision for Federal or state income taxes is required because the 
partners are taxed directly on their distributable shares of the 
Partnerships' income or loss. 

 g. Cash Equivalents 

   The Partnerships consider all highly liquid investments with an original 
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 

 h. Advertising and Promotion 

   Advertising and promotion costs are expensed at the time the related 
promotional event is held. The costs were approximately $930,000 in 1996 and 
$595,000 in 1995. 

2. NOTES PAYABLE 

   Notes payable and capital lease obligations as of December 31, 1995 and 
1996 consisted of the following:

</TABLE>
    

   
   Principal payments made on the Murat Partnership bank term note during 
1996 totaled $71,947. The Murat Partnership's 1996 net cash flow (see Note 3) 
did not require additional principal payments to be made on its notes 
payable. The bank term note contains cash flow and leverage ratio covenants. 
The Murat Partnership was not in compliance with the cash flow covenant as of 
December 31, 1996, but received a waiver dated March 31, 1997 for the 
December 31, 1996 calculation. Provisions of the $800,000 note payable 
require the Murat Partnership to continue making payments after the principal 
has been paid down equal to the lesser of $.15 per ticket sold during the 
fiscal year or remaining cash flow, as defined in Note 3. These payments are 
to be made to a not-for-profit foundation and will be designated for 
remodeling and upkeep of the Theatre. 

   Under the terms of the note payable in 1995, the Deer Creek Partnership 
incurred contingent interest, which was based on cash flow, of $885,000. 
During 1995, Deer Creek Partnership's current lender (a related party) 
purchased the note payable and entered into an amended and restated loan 
agreement with the partnership on January 5, 1996. For each year until the 
Deer Creek loan is repaid, net cash flow (as defined) in excess of $400,000 
shall be paid as a principal payment on the loan, not to exceed $400,000. In 
1995 and 1996, the Deer Creek Partnership's net cash flow was such that the 
maximum principal payment of $400,000 was required for each year. In 
addition, the promotional management fee paid to Sunshine (see Note 6) is 
subordinate to the quarterly loan payments.

3. MURAT CASH FLOW PAYMENTS 

   Each of the Murat Partnership's debt agreements require certain principal 
and interest to be paid in April of each year based upon the Murat 
Partnership's net cash flow for the preceding year. The Murat Partnership's 
building lease agreement provides for lease payments to be made based upon 
the same net cash flow calculation. Net cash flow, as defined in each 
agreement, approximates net income, plus depreciation and amortization, less 
capital expenditures and partnership distributions necessary to pay 
applicable income taxes. Net cash flow in each year will be used by the Murat 
Partnership to pay principal, interest and lease payments in the following 
order of priority: 

1. Payment of interest on $1,000,000 note equal to the lesser of (a) $.10 per 
   ticket sold, (b) prime plus 1% or (c) remaining net cash flow; 

2. Additional principal payments on bank note so that the total principal 
   paid each month (including mandatory term payments discussed in Note 2) 
   equals up to, but not exceeding, $16,667. If cash flow in any fiscal year 
   is not sufficient to meet these additional principal payments, the 
   obligation carries forward to the subsequent year; 

3. For 1997 and beyond, building operating lease payments not to exceed 
   $50,000 per year, non-cumulative; 

4.  Interest related to the $3 million note (including previous years' 
   cumulative amounts not paid); 

5.  Principal payment on the $3 million note until paid in full; 

6. Principal payment on $800,000 note equal to lesser of $.15 per ticket sold 
   during fiscal year or remaining net cash flow; 

   If cash flow is such that only a portion is paid on the obligation in 2. 
above, Sunshine, Inc.'s management fee (see Note 6.) could be reduced by the 
amount paid in 1. in order to maximize the amount available to fully pay the 
obligation in 2. 

4. DMD GRANT 

   As part of the original financing for renovation of the Theatre, the 
Department of Metropolitan Development (DMD) contributed approximately 
$760,000 in 1995 and $340,000 in 1996 to the Murat Partnership. The DMD 
stipulated that the grant was to be used for leasehold improvements on the 
Theatre. As such, the grant has been recorded on the balance sheet as a 
reduction of leasehold improvements and is being amortized over 30 years.

5. AGREEMENTS WITH OUTSIDE VENDORS 

   Effective February 1996, the Murat Partnership entered into a ten year 
agreement with a caterer to provide exclusive catering services at the 
Theatre. The Murat Partnership is entitled to a commission based upon a 
percentage of the caterer's net sales. As part of the agreement the caterer 
loaned the Murat Partnership $165,000, at a nominal interest rate, for 
leasehold improvements necessary to provide catering services. In February 
1996 the Murat Partnership began repaying the loan ratably over 5 years. 

   Effective February 1996, the Murat Partnership entered into a ten year 
agreement with a concessionaire for the exclusive license to sell concession 
food and beverages at Theatre events. The Murat Partnership is entitled to 
royalty commissions based upon a percentage of the concessionaire's gross 
receipts. The concessionaire has paid the Murat Partnership $50,000 to be 
used for leasehold improvements (which are being depreciated over 30 years) 
which will be used by the concessionaire. This payment has been recorded as 
deferred income and is being amortized over the term of the agreement. On 
March 28, 1997 the rights to the concession agreement were acquired by the 
caterer under the same terms as the original concession agreement. 

   Effective March 1996, the Murat Partnership entered into a five year 
agreement with a stagehand union allowing the union to provide services at 
all ticketed shows held in the main theater other than the broadway series. 
The agreement, among other items, sets minimum hours per show and hourly 
wages to be paid to union members. It also sets forth duties which must be 
performed solely by union members. A separate agreement between the stagehand 
union and Pace Theatrical Group, Inc. (see Note 7) governs the use of union 
stagehands for the broadway series. 

   Effective February 1996, the Murat Partnership entered into a one year 
agreement granting another party the right to manage and operate the Theatre 
parking lot. 

   In July 1988, the Deer Creek Partnership entered into a ten-year agreement 
with a concessionaire for the exclusive license to sell food and beverages at 
Deer Creek events. The Deer Creek Partnership is entitled to royalty 
commissions based upon a percentage of the concessionaire's gross receipts. 

   The Deer Creek Partnership has an agreement with another concessionaire 
for an exclusive license to sell consigned nonconsumable novelties and 
programs at Deer Creek events. The agreement expires on October 31, 2001. The 
Deer Creek Partnership is entitled to royalty commissions based on the 
concessionaire's gross receipts. 

   Total revenues related to the Deer Creek and Murat Center Partnership's 
vendor agreements were approximately $1.8 million and $1.7 million in 1996 
and 1995, respectively. 

6. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS 

   The Deer Creek Partnership and Murat Partnership have entered into 
agreements which expire in 2009 and 2015, respectively, with Sunshine whose 
stockholders are also the limited partners of the general partner. Sunshine 
provides the overall promotional management and booking of the entertainment 
events held at respective venues, along with other general management 
responsibilities. As compensation for Sunshine's services, the Deer Creek 
Partnership pays Sunshine 4 percent of gross ticket sales, royalty income and 
various other revenues. Total fees to Sunshine for these services were 
approximately $581,000 in 1995 and $560,000 in 1996. The Murat pays Sunshine 
an annual management fee of $300,000, adjusted annually each January 1 by the 
greater of 4% or the annual increase in the consumer price index. In 1996 no 
such fee was recognized by the Murat Partnership as Sunshine permanently 
waived the $300,000 management fee due for 1996. 

   
   In June 1988, the Deer Creek Partnership entered into a ten-year agreement 
with an unrelated management company to provide the on-site operations 
management for Deer Creek. At the end of 1995, this agreement was terminated 
by mutual consent of both parties. The Deer Creek Partnership

               DEER CREEK PARTNERS, L.P. AND MURAT CENTRE, L.P. 
            NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 

entered into a new agreement with the former management company whereby it 
agreed to pay $75,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998 and also to provide to the 
former management company selected season tickets at Deer Creek in 1997 and 
1998. In return, for 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Deer Creek Partnership is to 
receive advertising and promotion. 

7. BROADWAY SERIES PARTNERSHIP 

   In 1996 the Murat Partnership entered into a 5 year partnership agreement 
with Pace Theatrical Group, Inc. (Pace) and Broadway Series Management (BSMG) 
to co-present a subscription series of touring Broadway type shows in 
Indianapolis. This agreement calls for net profits and losses derived from 
the series to be split, after the allocation of certain revenues to the Murat 
Partnership and Pace, as follows: 45% Murat Partnership, 45% Pace, and 10% 
BSMG. No capital was invested by any of the parties and all income has been 
distributed to the parties. The Murat Partnership is responsible for the 
local marketing and management of the series, while Pace is responsible for 
booking, series management, and season ticket sales for the series. The Murat 
Partnership recognized earnings related to this partnership of $270,000 in 
1996. 

8. RELATED PARTIES 

   In addition to the management agreement with Sunshine discussed in Note 6, 
the Deer Creek Partnership and Murat Partnership have conducted business with 
certain related parties in which the limited partners of the general partner 
have significant interests. Fees paid to all other related parties for 
catering, uniforms and marketing services totaled $249,000 in 1995 and 
$65,000 in 1996 from the Deer Creek Partnership and $46,000 in 1996 from the 
Murat Partnership. 

9. SALE OF MURAT PARTNERSHIP AND DEER CREEK PARTNERSHIP 

   In June 1997, the partners of the Murat Partnership and the Deer Creek 
Partnership agreed to sell all of the assets of the Murat Partnership and 
Deer Creek Partnership to SFX Broadcasting, Inc. (Broadcasting). The total 
sales price to Broadcasting of the combined partnership assets was 
approximately $33 million. As a part of the sale, Broadcasting assumed or 
retired virtually all liabilities and acquired all assets of the Murat 
Partnership and the Deer Creek Partnership.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 

To PACE Entertainment Corporation: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PACE 
Entertainment Corporation (a Texas Corporation) and subsidiaries as of 
September 30, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations, 
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These 
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 
financial statements based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates 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 fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PACE 
Entertainment Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997, and the 
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION: 

 Description of Business 

   PACE Entertainment Corporation (referred to herein as PACE or the 
Company), a Texas corporation, is a diversified live entertainment company 
operating principally in the United States. The Company presents and produces 
theatrical shows, musical concerts and specialized motor sports events. 
Through certain unconsolidated partnerships, the Company also owns interests 
in and operates amphitheaters, which are used primarily for the presentation 
of live performances by musical artists. 

 Principles of Consolidation 

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 
PACE and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company accounts for its 
investments in 50 percent or less owned entities, including theatrical 
production partnerships, using the equity method. Intercompany balances are 
eliminated. 

   The Company has various agreements related to the presentation of events 
with other live entertainment organizations whereby the Company retains 50 
percent to 80 percent of the profits from such events. The Company 
consolidates the revenues and related costs from these events and records the 
amounts paid to the other parties in cost of sales. 

 Cash Equivalents 

   The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 
1997, the Company had restricted cash and cash equivalents of $2,950,000, 
which secured letters of credit totaling $3,750,000. 

 Trade Receivables 

   Trade receivables are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts of 
$120,000 and $134,000 at September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 

 Prepaid Expenses 

   Prepaid expenses include show advances and deposits, event advertising 
costs and other costs directly related to future events. Such costs are 
charged to operations upon completion of the related events. 

   As of September 30, 1996 and 1997, prepaid expenses included event 
advertising costs of $1,337,000 and $1,498,000, respectively. The Company 
recognized event advertising expenses of $13,818,000, $14,861,000 and 
$13,802,000 in cost of sales for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 
1997, respectively. 

 Investments in Theatrical Productions 

   Theatrical production partnerships are typically formed to invest in a 
single theatrical production and, therefore, have limited lives which are 
generally less than one year. Accordingly, the Company's investments in such 
partnerships are generally shown as current assets. The partnerships amortize 
production costs over the estimated life of each production based on the 
percentage of revenues earned in relation to projected total revenues.

</TABLE>

   
   Goodwill, which represents the excess of costs of business acquisitions 
over the fair value of net assets acquired, is being amortized on a 
straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 40 years. The noncompete 
agreements and other intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis 
over periods generally not exceeding five years. The Company evaluates on an 
ongoing basis whether events and circumstances indicate that the amortization 
periods of intangibles warrant revision. Additionally, the Company 
periodically assesses whether the carrying amounts of intangibles exceed 
their expected future benefits and value, in which case an impairment loss 
would be recognized. Such assessments are based on various analyses, 
including cash flow and profitability projections. 

 Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities 

   Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consisted of the following (in 
thousands):

 Revenue Recognition 

   Revenues from the presentation and production of an event, including 
interest on advance ticket sales, are recognized upon completion of the 
event. Deferred revenue relates primarily to advance ticket sales. 

   The Company barters event tickets and sponsorship rights for products and 
services, including event advertising. These barter transactions are not 
recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are not 
material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. 

  Stock-Based Compensation 

   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," during the year ended 
September 30, 1997, and implemented its disclosure provisions. While SFAS No. 
123 encourages companies to recognize expense for stock options at estimated 
fair value based on an option-pricing model, the Company has elected to

 Financial Instruments 

   The carrying amounts of cash equivalents approximate fair value because of 
the short maturities of these investments. The carrying amount of long-term 
debt approximates fair value as borrowings bear interest at current market 
rates. 

 Use of Estimates 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and 
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 Reclassifications 

   Certain 1995 and 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 
1997 presentation. 

 Interim Financial Information 

   The interim financial data as of December 31, 1997 and for the three-month 
periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 is unaudited and certain information 
and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. 
However, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all 
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a 
fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of 
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the entire year. 

2. ACQUISITIONS: 

   On March 13, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of 
SRO Motorsports (SRO), a division of Madison Square Garden, L.P., under an 
asset purchase agreement for an aggregate initial purchase price of 
approximately $13,300,000 in cash and $3,800,000 in assumed liabilities. The 
agreement also provides for a contingent deferred purchase price not to 
exceed $1,000,000, payable if annual earnings before interest, taxes, 
depreciation and amortization of the Company's motor sports operations, as 
defined, exceed $8,000,000 for any fiscal year through September 30, 2001. No 
deferred purchase price costs had been incurred through September 30, 1997. 

   The acquisition of SRO was accounted for under the purchase method and the 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value, 
resulting in the recognition of $14,250,000 of goodwill and $400,000 of other 
intangibles. The results of operations of SRO since March 13, 1996, have been 
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

   The following unaudited pro forma information assumes that the Company had 
acquired SRO as of October 1, 1994. The pro forma information includes 
adjustments for interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the 
acquisition, amortization of goodwill and other intangibles, the income tax 
effects of the operations of SRO, and the elimination of certain intercompany 
balances. The unaudited pro forma information, which is not necessarily 
indicative of what actual results would have been, is as follows (in 
thousands):

 Pavilion Partners 

   Pavilion Partners is a Delaware general partnership between the Company 
and Amphitheater Entertainment Partnership (AEP). AEP is a partnership 
between Sony Music Entertainment Inc. (Sony) and Blockbuster Entertainment 
Corporation (Blockbuster). Pavilion Partners owns and operates amphitheaters, 
which are used primarily for the presentation of live performances by musical 
artists. Pavilion Partners had interests in 10 and 11 amphitheaters at 
September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company owns a 33-1/3 percent 
interest in, and is the managing partner of, Pavilion Partners. 

   In general, all of Pavilion Partners' income is allocated to the partners 
in proportion to their respective ownership interests. The partnership 
agreement generally restricts cash distributions to 35 percent of cash flow 
after scheduled debt service. Additionally, PACE has been entitled to certain 
priority allocations of net income based, in part, on the cash flow from one 
of the amphitheaters it contributed to Pavilion Partners. During the periods 
ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the priority allocations of net 
income included in the Company's equity in earnings of Pavilion Partners were 
$771,000, $725,000 and $119,000, respectively. The cumulative amount of the 
priority allocations of net income was limited; PACE is not entitled to any 
future priority allocations. AEP is entitled to receive priority allocations 
of net income once a loan related to an amphitheater contributed by 
Blockbuster is repaid. The cumulative priority allocations of net income to 
AEP is limited to $7,000,000. The loan is scheduled to mature in 2004 and no 
such allocation has yet been made. 

   PACE also received booking fees of $323,000, $235,000 and $395,000 from 
Pavilion Partners for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, 
respectively. In addition, the Company is reimbursed for certain costs of 
providing management services to Pavilion Partners. These reimbursements 
totaled $1,629,000, $1,824,000 and $1,968,000 during the periods ended 
September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, and offset general and 
administrative expenses.

   In March 1996, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with 
certain financial institutions. The credit agreement provides for a term loan 
and a revolving line of credit, both of which bear interest at either LIBOR 
plus 2 percent or prime, at the option of the Company. At September 30, 1997, 
the weighted average interest rate was 7.8 percent. The term loan is 
scheduled to mature in March 2001 and is payable in quarterly installments of 
$536,000 plus interest, with a balloon payment at maturity. The Company may 
borrow $27,000,000 under the revolving line of credit until February 1998; 
subsequently, borrowings are limited to $13,000,000 until March 2001, when 
the revolving line of credit expires. The Company must pay a quarterly 
commitment fee equal to 0.375 percent per annum on the average daily unused 
portion of the revolving line of credit. The term loan and the revolving line 
of credit are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, including 
pledges of the capital stock of its subsidiaries. The credit agreement 
contains various restrictions and requirements relating to, among other

6. REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK: 

   At September 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding 155 shares of common 
stock that are redeemable under conditions that are not solely within the 
control of the Company. The Company granted this redeemable stock to certain 
executives during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997. To the extent 
that the grants related to prior service, the Company recognized compensation 
costs on the grant date. Additionally, the Company recognizes compensation 
costs for the change in value of certain shares that, as discussed below, the 
Company may be required to purchase from the executives at fair market value. 
Restricted stock compensation related to these grants totaled $3,260,000 and 
$425,000 during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 
The Company has the right of first refusal to purchase the redeemable common 
stock at fair market value. 

   Agreements with one executive who received 140 shares of redeemable stock 
provide that the Company will have call options to purchase these shares from 
the executive for a total of $3,420,000. These agreements also provide that 
the executive will have put options to sell such shares to the Company for 
$3,420,000. The put and call options are only exercisable if the executive's 
employment is terminated before an initial public offering of the Company's 
common stock. 

   Of the redeemable stock granted to this executive, 123 shares were granted 
during the year ended September 30, 1996, and vested during the year ended 
September 30, 1997. Since the grant related to prior service, the Company 
recognized compensation costs on the grant date. During the year ended 
September 30, 1997, the Company executed a promissory note in the amount of 
$1,232,000 with this executive. This note bears interest at 5.45 percent, is 
secured by 140 shares of the Company's common stock, and is scheduled to 
mature in October 2001. The proceeds of the note were used to pay the 
executive's tax liability related to the 123 shares that vested during the 
year ended September 30, 1997. Accordingly, the value of redeemable stock 
outstanding has been reduced by this note receivable. 

   The remaining 17 shares of redeemable stock received by this executive 
were granted during the year ended September 30, 1997, and vest ratably 
during the years ending September 30, 1999 and 2000. To fund the executive's 
tax liability related to these 17 shares, the Company may be required to 
purchase up to 41 percent of the shares at fair market value when the shares 
vest. The Company has similar agreements with the other executives who 
received the remaining 15 shares of redeemable stock, which were granted 
during the year ended September 30, 1996. In order to fund the executives' 
tax liabilities related to these grants and related restricted common stock 
grants, these 15 shares of redeemable stock must be purchased at fair market 
value when the shares vest during the years ended September 30, 1998 and 
1999. Although all 32 shares that the Company may be required to purchase in 
order to satisfy executives' tax liabilities have future vesting 
requirements, the Company recognized compensation costs on the grant dates to 
the extent the grants related to prior service. The difference between such 
expense recognition and recognition over the vesting periods is not material 
to the Company's results of operations and financial position.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

7. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY: 

   The Company granted 23 shares of restricted common stock to certain 
executives during the year ended September 30, 1996. These shares vest 
ratably during the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1999. Although the 
shares have future vesting requirements, the Company recognized compensation 
costs on the grant dates to the extent the grants related to prior service. 
The difference between such expense recognition, which totaled $390,000 and 
$6,000 during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively, and 
recognition over the vesting periods is not material to the Company's results 
of operations and financial position. The Company has the right of first 
refusal to purchase at fair market value all of the shares granted during the 
year ended September 30, 1996. Additionally, if the executives' employment is 
terminated before an initial public offering of the Company's common stock, 
the Company has a call option to purchase the vested shares at fair market 
value. 

   Effective October 15, 1993, the Company and one of its officers entered 
into an employment agreement which provided for the granting of 45 shares of 
the Company's common stock. The shares vested over a five-year period and the 
Company recorded related compensation expense of $25,000 for each of the 
years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997. 

   
8. STOCK OPTIONS: 

   The Company adopted the 1996 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan during the 
year ended September 30, 1996. Under the plan, the Company may grant awards 
based on its common stock to employees and directors. Such awards may 
include, but are not limited to, restricted stock, stock options, stock 
appreciation rights and convertible debentures. Up to 325 shares of common 
stock may be issued under the plan. During the year ended September 30, 1996, 
the Company granted options to purchase 117 shares of common stock at a 
weighted average exercise price of $18,989 per share, which approximated fair 
value on the date of grant. Such options vest and are generally exercisable 
ratably over a four-year period. The options expire in 10 years. 

   An option to purchase 22 shares of common stock at $10,000 per share was 
granted to an executive during the year ended September 30, 1994. This option 
was canceled subsequent to September 30, 1997. 

   Because the exercise prices of the Company's employee stock options 
equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, 
no compensation expense was recognized in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. 
Had compensation cost for the options been determined based on the fair value 
at the grant date pursuant to SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would 
have decreased by $49,000 and $148,000 for the years ended September 30, 1996 
and 1997, respectively. For this purpose, the fair value of the options was 
estimated using the minimum value method assuming that the risk-free interest 
rate was 6.7 percent and that no dividends will be paid. 

9. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS: 

   The Company contracts with certain theatrical partnerships of which it is 
a minority partner to obtain the rights to present theatrical productions in 
the Company's markets. Approximately $20,000,000, $33,400,000 and $31,200,000 
of expenses were incurred for such rights and included in cost of sales 
during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 

   The Company contracts with certain unconsolidated partnerships to sell the 
rights to present musical concerts. Approximately $2,446,000 of revenues was 
earned from the sale of such rights during the year ended September 30, 1997. 
No such rights were sold during the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. 

   As of September 30, 1997, notes receivable, related parties included 
$6,453,000 due from executives and $1,571,000 due from other related parties. 
Two of the notes receivable from executives

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

are promissory notes from the Company's principal shareholder. As of 
September 30, 1997, these two notes totaled $5,961,000, including accrued 
interest of $550,000. One note, in the original principal amount of 
$2,911,000, bears interest at 5.83 percent, is secured by 254 shares of PACE 
common stock and matures on March 28, 1999. The other note is for $2,500,000, 
bears interest at 6.34 percent, is secured by 246 shares of PACE common stock 
and was scheduled to mature on November 3, 1997. This note has been extended 
to mature on November 4, 2000. Interest income on these two notes was 
approximately $300,000 for each of the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 
and 1997. At September 30, 1997, the Company also had a $583,000 receivable 
from its principal shareholder. The principal shareholder has represented his 
intention to pay the outstanding loans and receivable balance from personal 
assets or if necessary, the liquidation of certain ownership interests in the 
Company. 

   At September 30, 1997, notes receivable from other related parties 
included $945,000 due from a joint venture partner. The terms of the related 
joint venture agreement provide for the Company to loan to the joint venture 
partner any required capital contributions, to be repaid on a priority basis 
from the profits allocated to the joint venture partner. The advances accrue 
interest at the prime rate plus 4 percent (12.5 percent at September 30, 
1997) and are secured by the joint venture partner's 50 percent interest in 
the joint venture. 

   
10. LITIGATION SETTLEMENT: 

   The Company was previously named as a defendant in a case filed in Wake 
County, North Carolina (Promotion Litigation). There were several other 
defendants named in the litigation, including Pavilion Partners, with various 
causes of action asserted against one or more of each of the defendants, 
including (a) breach of alleged contract, partnership, joint venture and 
fiduciary duties between certain of the defendants and Pro Motion Concerts, 
(b) constructive fraud, (c) interference with prospective advantage, (d) 
unfair trade practices, (e) constructive trust and (f) unjust enrichment. The 
essence of the plaintiffs' claims was that certain of the defendants agreed 
to enter into a partnership with plaintiffs for the development and operation 
of an amphitheater. 

   On May 1, 1997, the Promotion Litigation was settled. All defendants were 
fully and finally released with prejudice from any and all claims and causes 
of action. The defendants did not acknowledge or admit any liability. The 
settlement called for payments from defendants totaling $4,500,000. The 
Company was obligated to pay $1,500,000 immediately after the settlement and 
is obligated to pay an additional $2,000,000 on or before May 1, 1998. To 
guarantee payment of this $2,000,000 obligation, the Company had a standby 
letter of credit outstanding at September 30, 1997. The remaining $1,000,000 
of the settlement was paid by Pavilion Partners during the year ended 
September 30, 1997. This expense and related legal expenses were charged to 
operations for the year ended September 30, 1996.

 Change in Control Provisions 

   The Company and its unconsolidated partnerships, including Pavilion 
Partners, have entered into numerous leases and other contracts in the 
ordinary course of business. Certain of these agreements either contain 
restrictions on their assignability or would require third-party approval of 
a change in control of the Company. 

 Employment Agreements 

   The Company has employment agreements with certain key employees. Such 
agreements generally provide for minimum salary levels, guaranteed bonuses 
and incentive bonuses which are payable if specified financial goals are 
attained. As of September 30, 1997, the Company's minimum commitment under 
these agreements were as follows (in thousands):

   The Company is currently negotiating certain other employment agreements 
that may result in additional future commitments. 

 Insurance 

   The Company carries a broad range of insurance coverage, including general 
liability, workers' compensation, stop-loss coverage for its employee health 
plan and umbrella policies. The Company carries deductibles of up to $10,000 
per occurrence for general liability claims and is self-insured for annual 
healthcare costs of up to $25,000 per covered employee and family. The 
Company has accrued for estimated potential claim costs in satisfying the 
deductible and self-insurance provisions of the insurance policies for claims 
occurring through September 30, 1997. The accrual is based on known facts and 
historical trends, and management believes such accrual to be adequate.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

 Legal Proceedings 

   Various legal actions and claims are pending against the Company, most of 
which are covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, the ultimate 
liability, if any, which may result from these actions and claims will not 
materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the 
Company. 

   
 Guarantees 

   The Company has guaranteed a $2,438,000 debt of a partnership in which 
Pavilion Partners holds a 50 percent interest. PACE has agreements with its 
partners whereby they would assume approximately 50 percent of any liability 
arising from this guarantee. The debt matures June 1, 2003. Management does 
not believe that the guarantee will result in a material liability to the 
Company. 

 Income Taxes 

   The Internal Revenue Service is examining several years of returns of a 
majority-owned subsidiary. Management is currently discussing a possible 
settlement of approximately $600,000, which has been accrued in the Company's 
financial statements. 

  Subscription Agreement 

   During April 1995, the Company acquired an interest in a company 
incorporated in the United Kingdom. Pursuant to a subscription agreement, the 
Company made payments totaling $1,355,000 prior to September 30, 1997. The 
Company has agreed to pay an additional pounds sterling239,000 in April 1998. 

 Construction Commitments 

   An unconsolidated partnership has committed to certain renovation work at 
its amphitheater. The Company may be obligated to fund up to approximately 
$7.3 million of these renovations. Through its investment in another 
unconsolidated partnership, the Company has an interest in a performance hall 
being constructed for musical and theatrical presentations. The Company had 
funded $0.4 million of the performance hall construction costs through 
September 30, 1997; the Company's estimated additional funding commitments 
are approximately $2.0 million. In addition, the Company and several third 
parties are currently negotiating definitive agreements to develop a 
theatrical venue. The Company may be obligated to fund approximately $3.0 
million of the costs of this development over an undetermined period of time. 

 Put Option Agreement 

   The Company has entered into put option agreements with two banks whereby 
the Company may be required to repurchase a total of 1,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock held by an affiliate that collateralizes the personal 
loans of the Company's principal shareholder at a per share price of $1,500. 
The put options are effective only in the event of a loan default of the 
shareholder prior to July 31, 1999. At September 30, 1997, the loans were not 
in default. 

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: 

   Subsequent to September 30, 1997, the Company entered into certain 
agreements with an executive who previously had been granted an option to 
purchase 22 shares of common stock at $10,000 per share. Pursuant to the new 
agreements, the option was canceled and the executive was granted 22 shares 
of restricted common stock. 

   In December 1997, the Company and its shareholders entered into an 
agreement with SFX Entertainment, Inc. (SFX), whereby the shareholders would 
sell their interests in the Company to SFX (SFX Transaction). The purchase 
price of $109 million in cash and 1,500,000 shares of SFX Class A Common 
Stock is subject to adjustment prior to closing. Closing is subject to 
certain conditions, including

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

approval of certain third parties. Concurrent with closing, the agreement 
requires, among other things, the repayment of all outstanding loans and 
receivables due from the Company's principal shareholder (see Note 9) and the 
repayment of the promissory note received from an executive in connection 
with a stock grant (see Note 6). Additionally, the agreement provides for the 
settlement of all restricted and redeemable stock, as well as all outstanding 
stock options. This settlement is expected to result in a one-time charge by 
the Company of approximately $4.7 million, net of related tax effects. The 
agreement also requires SFX to provide the Company with a $25 million line of 
credit (Acquisition Facility) to be used for certain acquisitions being 
contemplated by the Company. If the acquisition of the Company is not 
consummated, this line of credit will be converted to a term loan in the 
amount of advances then outstanding or, under certain circumstances, will 
become immediately due and payable. This bridge financing is secured by the 
assets acquired and an option to purchase the Company's interest in Pavilion 
Partners. 

   In December 1997, the Company entered into agreements to effectively 
purchase substantially all of the assets of United Sports of America (USA 
Transaction), a producer and presenter of demolition derbies, thrill shows, 
air shows, monster truck shows, tractor pull events, motorcycle racing and 
bull riding in the United States and Canada. Pursuant to the agreements, the 
total purchase price is $6,000,000 in cash of which an option amount of 
$500,000 was paid upon the execution of the agreement and closing is subject 
to the satisfactory completion of due diligence by the Company. Management 
does not expect this transaction to close until May 1998. In the event the 
transaction does not close, the option amount will be forfeited if certain 
conditions are not met. 

   
   In December 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 
Blockbuster's 33 1/3 percent interest in Pavilion Partners (Blockbuster 
Transaction) for $4,171,000 in cash, $2,940,000 in assumed liabilities and 
the assumption of certain indemnification obligations of Blockbuster under 
the Pavilion Partners Partnership Agreement. In addition, the Company has 
agreed to purchase a note with a balance of $9,507,000, including accrued 
interest of $1,601,000, at September 30, 1997. The transaction is contingent 
on, among other things, obtaining acceptable financing including the release 
of Blockbuster from certain debt obligations and the approval of Sony. (Note 
3) 

   On December 22, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 
Sony's 33 1/3 percent interest in Pavilion Partners (Sony Transaction) for 
$27,500,000 in cash. The transaction is contingent on, among other things, 
government approval and obtaining acceptable financing including the release 
of Sony from certain debt obligations. (see Note 3) 

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DATE OF AUDITORS' REPORT (Unaudited) 

   Effective February 25, 1998, the SFX Transaction, Blockbuster Transaction 
and Sony Transaction closed. In conjunction with the closing, SFX retired the 
Company's outstanding term loan and revolving line of credit and purchased or 
retired a substantial portion of the indebtedness of Pavilion Partners, 
including debt which was previously guaranteed by PACE. No borrowings had 
been made under the Acquisition Facility, which expired with the closing of 
the SFX Transaction. Additionally, all put option agreements related to the 
Company's common stock were terminated. 

   During February 1998, the Company granted 40 shares of restricted common 
stock to an executive. This grant combined with the settlement of all 
restricted and redeemable stock, all outstanding stock options and certain
bonuses paid in conjunction with the SFX Transaction resulted in a one-time
charge during February 1998 of approximately $6.4 million, net of related tax
effects. 

   The USA Transaction closed on March 25, 1998. To effect the USA 
Transaction, PACE contributed $4,000,000 to a newly formed partnership and 
that partnership acquired a 67% interest in certain assets and liabilities of 
United Sports of America from third parties. The remaining 33% interest in 
those assets and liabilities was contributed to the partnership by a 
subsidiary of SFX.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 

To the Partners of Pavilion Partners: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pavilion 
Partners, a Delaware general partnership, as of September 30, 1997, and the 
related consolidated statements of income, partners' capital and cash flows 
for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the 
responsibility of the partnership's management. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 
audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates 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 fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pavilion 
Partners as of September 30, 1997, and the results of its operations and its 
cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

                              PAVILION PARTNERS 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION: 

   Pavilion Partners (the Partnership) is a Delaware general partnership 
between SM/PACE, Inc. (PACE), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of PACE 
Entertainment Corporation, and Amphitheater Entertainment Partnership (AEP). 
AEP is a partnership between a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Music 
Entertainment Inc. (Sony) and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Blockbuster 
Entertainment Corporation (Blockbuster). PACE is the managing partner of the 
Partnership. AEP owns a 66 2/3 percent interest in the Partnership, and PACE 
owns a 33 1/3 percent interest in the Partnership. 

   In April 1990, Sony and PACE formed YM/PACE Partnership which changed its 
name to the Sony Music/PACE Partnership. Effective April 1, 1994, the 
partners entered into an agreement whereby Blockbuster obtained an indirect 
33 1/3 percent interest in Sony Music/PACE Partnership, which was renamed 
Pavilion Partners. In accordance with the agreement, Sony contributed an 
interest-bearing note in the amount of $4,250,000 and its existing interest 
in Sony Music/PACE Partnership to AEP. Concurrently, Blockbuster contributed 
an interest-bearing note in the amount of $4,250,000 and its interest in 
three existing amphitheaters to AEP. AEP in turn contributed these assets to 
the Partnership. At the same time, PACE Entertainment Corporation contributed 
its interest in two existing amphitheaters to the Partnership. Upon 
completion of these contributions to the Partnership, AEP owned a 66 2/3 
percent interest in the Partnership and PACE owned a 33 1/3 percent interest 
in the Partnership. 

   The Partnership owns and operates amphitheaters, which are primarily used 
for the presentation of live performances by musical artists. As of September 
30, 1997, the Partnership owned interests in or leased 10 amphitheaters and 
had a long-term management contract to operate an additional amphitheater. 
All of the amphitheaters owned or operated by the Partnership are located in 
the United States. 

   In April 1997, the Partnership entered into a new partnership agreement 
with a third party to be known as Western Amphitheater Partners (WAP). The 
Partnership contributed or licensed the assets and liabilities of the Glen 
Helen Amphitheatre, and the other partner contributed or licensed the assets 
and liabilities of the Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre. Each partner has a 50 
percent interest in WAP. Under the terms of the Partnership agreement, the 
partners are required to make an additional capital contribution of 
approximately $850,000 each in WAP which was accrued by the Partnership at 
September 30, 1997. The fiscal year-end for the WAP partnership will be 
December 31. 

   During 1996, the Partnership changed its fiscal year-end from October 31 
to September 30. 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

 Principles of Consolidation 

   The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include all of 
its wholly owned subsidiaries and other partnerships in which Pavilion 
Partners holds a controlling interest. All partnerships in which Pavilion 
Partners holds less than a controlling interest are reported on the equity 
method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions have been 
eliminated in consolidation. 

 Basis of Contributed Assets 

   All assets contributed to the Partnership by the partners were recorded at 
the carrying values of the contributing entities. 

 Revenue Recognition 

   The Partnership records revenues from the presentation of events at the 
completion of the related event. Advance ticket sales are classified as 
deferred revenue until the event has occurred. Sponsorship and other revenues 
that are not related to any single event are classified as deferred revenue 
and amortized over each of the amphitheaters' various shows during the 
operating season. 

                              F-84           
<PAGE>
                              PAVILION PARTNERS 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

   The Partnership barters event tickets and sponsorship rights for products 
and services, including event advertising. These barter transactions are not 
recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are not 
material to the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. 

   
 Income Taxes 

   No provision for federal or state income taxes is necessary in the 
financial statements of the Partnership because, as a partnership, it is not 
subject to federal or state income taxes and the tax effect of its activities 
accrues to the partners. 

 Prepaid Expenses 

   Prepaid expenses include show advances and deposits, event advertising 
costs and other costs directly related to future events. Such costs are 
charged to operations upon completion of the related events. 

   As of September 30, 1996 and 1997, prepaid expenses included event 
advertising costs of $160,000 and $137,000, respectively. The Partnership 
recognized event advertising expenses of $5,815,000, $6,439,000 and 
$6,569,000 in cost of sales for the year ended October 31, 1995, the eleven 
months ended September 30, 1996, and the year ended September 30, 1997, 
respectively. 

 Other Assets 

   The Partnership incurs certain costs in identifying and selecting 
potential sites for amphitheater development. All costs incurred by the 
Partnership during the initial site selection phase are expensed as incurred. 
Certain incremental start-up costs that are incurred after a decision has 
been made to develop a site are capitalized as preoperating costs. After an 
amphitheater is fully developed, these preoperating costs are amortized on a 
straight-line basis over a five-year period. 

   Contract acquisition costs include fees associated with securing a 
contract with a booking agent for one of the Partnership's amphitheaters. 
These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the 
contract which is 10 years. 

 Property and Equipment 

   Property and equipment is stated at cost. Repair and maintenance costs are 
expensed as incurred. Interest incurred in connection with the construction 
of an amphitheater is capitalized as part of the cost of the amphitheater. 
During 1995 and 1996, the Partnership capitalized interest in connection with 
the construction of amphitheaters of $645,000 and $161,000, respectively. No 
interest was capitalized in 1997. 

   Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the 
shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. Other 
property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the 
estimated useful lives of the assets. A summary of the principal ranges of 
useful lives used in computing the annual provision for depreciation and 
amortization is as follows: 
    

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                         RANGE OF YEARS 
                         -------------- 
<S>                      <C>
Buildings ..............     27-31.5 
Leasehold improvements       5-31.5 
Equipment ..............       3-7 
Furniture and fixtures        5-10 
</TABLE>

   
   The Partnership evaluates on an ongoing basis whether events and 
circumstances indicate that the estimated useful lives of property and 
equipment warrant revision. The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," in 1997. The 
adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material effect on the Partnership's 
financial position or results of operations.

                              PAVILION PARTNERS 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

   The carrying amounts of the Partnership's financial instruments 
approximate their fair value at September 30, 1996 and 1997. 

   
 Statement of Cash Flows 

   The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with an original 
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Interest paid was 
$2,319,000, $3,652,000 and $3,917,000 for 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 
During the year ended October 31, 1995, the Partnership issued a note payable 
with a fair value of $1,300,000 to a vendor in exchange for certain equipment 
with a fair value which approximated the amount of the note. During 1997, the 
Partnership contributed or licensed the assets and liabilities of the Glen 
Helen Amphitheatre into the new WAP Partnership in which it holds a 50 
percent interest. The net book value of the investment made in the WAP 
Partnership was $54,000. 

 Use of Estimates 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires the Partnership to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and 
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 Reclassifications 

   Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1996 consolidated financial statements 
have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation. 

 Interim Financial Information 

   The interim financial data as of December 31, 1997 and for the three-month 
periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 is unaudited and certain information 
and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. 
However, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all 
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a 
fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of 
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the entire year. 

3. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT: 

   The Partnership agreement provides, among other things, for the following: 

 Contributions and Project Loans 

   In addition to the initial contributions as discussed in Note 1, the 
partners are obligated to contribute, in proportion to their respective 
Partnership interests, any deficiency in the funding for the construction of 
each approved amphitheater development or any operational shortfall, as 
defined in the Partnership agreement. No such funding was required in 1995, 
1996 or 1997. 

   In addition, AEP is responsible for providing project financing, as 
defined, for each approved amphitheater development. To the extent AEP does 
not fulfill this responsibility, AEP must indemnify, defend and hold harmless 
the Partnership from all claims, demands, liabilities or other losses 
(including the loss of any earnest money deposits and any reasonable 
attorneys' fees) which might result from AEP's failure to provide such 
project loan. 

 Income Allocation 

   In general, all of the Partnership's income is allocated to the partners 
in proportion to their respective Partnership interests. However, PACE 
receives a priority allocation of net income, as defined in the Partnership 
agreement, until the cumulative amount of such allocations is equal to 
$2,000,000 increased 
    

                              F-86           
<PAGE>
                              PAVILION PARTNERS 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

by 7 percent of the unpaid allocation on the last day of each fiscal year. 
Any such allocation of net income to PACE is distributed in the following 
year. The priority allocation of net income to PACE for 1995, 1996 and 1997 
was approximately $767,000, $716,000 and $119,000, respectively. This 
allocation obligation was fully satisfied with the distribution of the fiscal 
1997 income allocation amount during October 1997. 

   AEP is entitled to receive a priority allocation of net income once a loan 
related to an amphitheater contributed by Blockbuster is repaid. At September 
30, 1997, the loan balance is $7,905,000 and is payable in quarterly 
installments with a balloon payment due at its maturity on April 1, 2004. The 
priority allocation of net income is equal to 65 percent of the cash flow 
attributable to the amphitheater, as defined in the Partnership agreement. 
The cumulative priority allocation of net income to AEP is limited to 
$7,000,000. No such allocation was made in 1995, 1996 or 1997. 

   
   On November 1 of each calendar year, the executive committee of the 
Partnership determines if any excess cash exists in the Partnership's

8. LEASE COMMITMENTS: 

   The Partnership leases various amphitheaters under operating and capital 
leases. Initial lease terms are 25 to 60 years with varying renewal periods 
at the Partnership's option on most leases. A number of the amphitheater 
leases provide for escalating rent over the lease term. Rental expense on 
operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of such 
leases. The majority of the amphitheater leases provide for contingent 
rentals, generally based upon a percentage of gross revenues, as defined in 
the respective lease agreements. Minimum rental expense associated with 
operating leases for 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $648,000, $2,353,000 and 
$2,612,000, respectively. Contingent rental expense associated with operating 
leases for 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $2,407,000, $2,515,000 and $2,571,000,

its subsidiaries. PACE Entertainment Corporation and its subsidiaries provide 
the Partnership with management and consulting services in connection with 
the development, construction, maintenance and operation of amphitheaters 
owned or leased by the Partnership. The Partnership paid $1,650,000, 
$1,687,000 and $1,968,000 during 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, to PACE 
Entertainment Corporation as reimbursement for the costs of these services. 

   The Partnership paid PACE Music Group (PMG), a subsidiary of PACE 
Entertainment Corporation, $289,000, $225,000 and $395,000 during 1995, 1996 
and 1997, respectively, for services provided by PMG as a local presenter at 
one of the Partnership's amphitheaters. 

   Accounts receivable from and accounts payable to related parties at 
September 30, 1997, of $3,878,000 and $3,948,000, respectively, relate to 
amounts owed to and due from the partners arising from the formation of the 
Partnership and general and administrative expenses paid by or on behalf of 
the Partnership. 

   Notes receivable, related parties consist of two notes due from AEP which 
bear interest at 5.62 percent per annum and matured April 1, 1997. Principal 
payments on the notes are due upon request by the Partnership in order to 
fund the construction of proposed amphitheaters. Interest on the partners' 
notes amounted to $192,000, $63,000 and $68,000 for 1995, 1996 and 1997, 
respectively. 

   
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: 

 Commitments 

   The Partnership guarantees 50 percent of a $2,305,000 promissory note 
issued by its 50 percent equity partner in the Starwood Amphitheater. The 
note matures on June 1, 2003. 

   The Partnership has committed to fund certain renovation work at one of 
its amphitheaters in proportion to its 66 2/3 percent partnership interest in 
that amphitheater. The renovations are to include increasing seating capacity 
and upgrading the amphitheater's concession plazas and parking facilities. 
The total budget for these renovations is approximately $11.0 million of 
which $5.0 million will be funded by the minority partner and a note payable 
to vendor, therefore the Partnership's funding commitment is approximately 
$6.0 million. 

   The Partnership maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, 
may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any 
losses in such accounts. Management performs periodic evaluations of the 
relative credit standards of the financial institutions with which it deals. 
Additionally, the Partnership's cash management and investment policies 
restrict investments to low-risk, highly liquid securities. Accordingly, 
management does not believe that the Partnership is currently exposed to any 
significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. 

   The Partnership is subject to other claims and litigation arising in the 
normal course of its business. The Partnership does not believe that any of 
these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial 
position or results of operations. 

   The Partnership was previously named as a defendant in a case filed in 
Wake County, North Carolina (Promotion Litigation). There were several 
defendants named in the litigation with various causes of action asserted 
against one or more of each of the defendants, including (a) breach of 
alleged contract, partnership, joint venture and fiduciary duties between 
certain of the defendants and Pro Motion Concerts, (b) constructive fraud, 
(c) interference with prospective advantage, (d) unfair trade practices, (e) 
constructive trust and (f) unjust enrichment. The essence of the plaintiff's 
claims was that certain of the defendants agreed to enter into a partnership 
with the plaintiffs for the development and operation of an amphitheater. On 
May 1, 1997, the Promotion Litigation was settled. All defendants were fully 
and finally released with prejudice from any and all claims and causes of 
action. Although the defendants believe that they would have prevailed at a 
trial of the Promotion Litigation, the defendants chose to settle

rather than risk the uncertainties of a trial. The defendants did not 
acknowledge or admit any liability. The settlement called for payments to 
plaintiffs totaling $4.5 million, of which $1.0 million was paid by the 
Partnership. The Partnership recorded litigation settlement expense of $1.0 
million at September 30, 1996. The settlement was paid during May 1997. 

 Change in Control Provisions 

   The Partnership has entered into numerous leases and other contracts in 
the ordinary course of business. Certain of these agreements either contain 
restrictions on their assignability or would require third-party approval of 
a change in control of the Partnership. 

 Employment Agreements 

   The Partnership has employment agreements with certain key employees. Such 
agreements generally provide for minimum salary levels, guaranteed bonuses 
and incentive bonuses which are payable if specified financial goals are 
attained. As of September 30, 1997, the Company's minimum commitment under 
these agreements were as follows (in thousands):

 Insurance 

   The Partnership carries a broad range of insurance coverage, including 
general liability, workers' compensation, employee health coverage and 
umbrella policies. The Partnership carries deductibles of up to $10,000 per 
occurrence for general liability claims. The Partnership has accrued for 
estimated potential claim costs in satisfying the deductible provisions of 
the insurance policies for claims occurring through September 30, 1997. The 
accrual is based on known facts and historical trends, and management 
believes such accrual to be adequate. 

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: 

   In December 1997, the managing partner and its shareholders entered into 
an agreement whereby the shareholders would sell their interests in PACE 
Entertainment Corporation to SFX Entertainment, Inc. (SFX Transaction). 
Closing is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of third 
parties. 

   On December 19, 1997, the PACE Entertainment Corporation entered into an 
agreement to purchase Blockbuster's 33 1/3 percent interest in the 
Partnership (Blockbuster Transaction) for $4,171,000 in cash, $2,940,000 in 
assumed liabilities and the assumption of certain indemnification obligations 
of Blockbuster under the Partnership agreement. In addition, PACE 
Entertainment Corporation has agreed to purchase the note payable to 
Blockbuster with a balance of $9,507,000, including accrued interest of 
$1,601,000, at September 30, 1997. The transaction is contingent on, among 
other things, obtaining acceptable financing including the release of 
Blockbuster from certain debt obligations and the approval of Sony. 

   On December 22, 1997, PACE Entertainment Corporation entered into an 
agreement to purchase Sony's 33 1/3 percent interest in the Partnership (Sony 
Transaction) for $27,500,000 in cash. The transaction is contingent on, among 
other things, government approval and obtaining acceptable financing 
including the release of Sony from certain debt obligations (see Note 7). 

12. EVENT SUBSEQUENT TO DATE OF AUDITORS' REPORT (Unaudited) 

   Effective February 25, 1998, the SFX Transaction, Blockbuster Transaction 
and Sony Transaction closed. In conjunction with the closing, SFX purchased 
or retired approximately $38 million of the Partnership's outstanding notes 
payable.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 

The Boards of Directors 
Contemporary Group 

   We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Contemporary 
Group as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the related combined statements of 
operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the years then ended. 
These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of 
Contemporary Group at December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the results of their 
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                              DECEMBER 31, 1997 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 Principles of Combination 

   The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of 
Contemporary International Productions Corporation, Contemporary Productions 
Incorporated, Contemporary Marketing, Inc. ("CMI"), Contemporary Sports 
Incorporated, Innovative Training and Education Concepts Corporation, n/k/a 
Contemporary Group, Inc., Contemporary Investments Corporation ("CIC"), 
Contemporary Investments of Kansas, Inc., Continental Entertainment 
Associates, Inc., Dialtix, Inc., and Capital Tickets L.P. (collectively, the 
"Contemporary Group" or the "Companies"). Intercompany transactions and 
balances among these companies have been eliminated in combination. The 
Companies are subject to common ownership and to the transaction described in 
Note 8. 

   The Contemporary Group is a live entertainment and special events 
producer, venue operator and consumer marketer. Income from operations 
originates from the operation of the concert division which earns promotion 
income in two ways: either a fixed fee for organizing and promoting an event 
or an arrangement that entitles it to a profit percentage based on a 
predetermined formula. The Companies recognize revenue from the promotion of 
events when earned, which is generally upon exhibition. The Companies record 
commissions on booking acts as well as sponsorship and concession income as 
other event revenues. 

   CIC is a 50% partner in Riverport Performing Arts Centre Joint Venture 
("Riverport"), a Missouri general partnership which operates a 20,000 seat 
outdoor amphitheater located in St. Louis, Missouri. The investment in 
Riverport is recorded under the equity method of accounting. 

 Income Taxes 

   As of December 31, 1997, all of the entities combined are either "S 
Corporations" or partnerships and therefore no tax provision has been 
provided. In 1996, certain of the entities were "C Corporations" for which a 
tax provision has been provided. 

   For the year ended December 31, 1996, with respect to the "C 
Corporations," the total provision for income taxes is $35,367. 

   Certain of the "C Corporations" filed elections to be treated as "S 
Corporations" beginning January 1, 1997. Therefore, with respect to such 
corporations, no provision for income taxes has been provided for the year 
ended December 31, 1997. These Companies have subsequently revoked the 
election to be taxed as "S Corporations", effective January 1, 1998. 

 Accounts Receivable 

   Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from ticket vendors, venue box 
offices and customers of marketing services. Management considers these 
accounts receivable as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 to be collectible; 
accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. 

 Revenue Recognition 

   Deferred revenue relates primarily to an advance on future concession 
revenues which is evidenced by a noninterest bearing note payable and 
advances on marketing services. Payments collected in advance are recognized 
as income as events occur or services are provided. Reimbursable event costs 
represent amounts paid by the Companies on behalf of co-promoters and other 
parties with interests in the events which will be reimbursed by such 
parties. 

   Sales under long-term contracts for the Company's marketing division are 
recorded under the percentage-of-completion method, wherein revenues and 
estimated costs are recorded as the work is performed. 

                              F-98

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

 Significant Customer 

   CMI's most significant customer is AT&T, which provided approximately 23% 
and 12% of the Companies' combined revenues for the years ended December 31, 
1997 and 1996, respectively. In March 1998, AT&T has indicated that it will 
no longer be using the services of CMI. 

   
 Advertising Costs 

   Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 
31, 1997 and 1996, advertising costs were $115,634 and $71,879, respectively. 

 Property and Equipment 

   Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on 
either the straight-line method or accelerated methods over the estimated 
useful lives of the assets or the term of the related lease as follows: 
    

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>                                     <C>
 Furniture, fixtures and equipment  ....5-7 years 
Land improvements ..................... 15 years 
Leasehold improvements ................ 10 years 
</TABLE>

   
 Risks and Uncertainties 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and 
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 Reclassification 

   Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to 
conform with the current year's presentation. 

2. INVESTMENTS 

   The following is a summary of the financial position and results of 
operations of Riverport as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996 and

noncancellable leases which expire at various dates through 2004. Such leases 
contain various operating escalations and renewal options.

 Compensation 

   During 1996, CMI entered into an employment agreement with one of its 
employees which provided her rights to future cash payments based on the fair 
value of CMI, as defined. These rights would vest on January 1, 2002 or upon 
the occurrence of certain transactions, including a change of control. On 
December 31, 1997, in connection with an amendment to her employment 
agreement, the rights became fully vested and CMI paid this employee 
$1,329,284. In addition, she is entitled to receive as a bonus $2,854,899 
under the amendment, which will be paid in 1998 and is accrued at December 
31, 1997. 

 Litigation 

   The Companies are party to various legal proceedings generally incidental 
to their businesses. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings 
is not presently determinable, management, after discussions with counsel, 
does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a material adverse 
effect on the financial condition of the Companies. 

6. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN 

   In January 1992, the Companies began a retirement plan for their employees 
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees are eligible 
to participate once they obtain the minimum age requirement of 21 years and 
have satisfied the service requirement of one year with the Companies. 
Participant contributions are subject to the limitations of Section 402(g) of 
the Internal Revenue Code. The Companies contribute to participant employees' 
accounts at the rate of 25% of the first 5% of the participating employees' 
contributions. During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, the 
Companies contributions totaled approximately $25,600 and $37,769, 
respectively. 

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

   During 1997, the Company loaned $1,000,000 to its co-presidents. The loans 
which bore a rate of interest of approximately 5.8% were repaid in full in 
early 1998. 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

   In February 1998, the owners of the Companies sold 100% of the capital 
stock of Contemporary International Productions Corporation and the assets of 
the remaining companies comprising the Contemporary Group, excluding cash and 
1997 receivables, to SFX Entertainment, Inc. for an aggregate consideration 
of $62,300,000 in cash and the issuance of preferred stock convertible into 
1,402,851 shares of SFX Entertainment Class A Common Stock upon a spin-off or 
redeemable into cash if the spin-off does not occur by July 1, 1998. In 
connection with this transaction, SFX Entertainment and its affiliates also 
acquired the 50% interest of Riverport not owned by CIC for $12,585,000.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 

To the Partners of 
Riverport Performing Arts Centre, Joint Venture: 

   We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Riverport Performing 
Arts Centre, Joint Venture (a Missouri General Partnership) as of December 
31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of income and changes in 
partners' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Joint Venture's management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of Riverport Performing Arts 
Centre, Joint Venture as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of 
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                          DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

 Organization 

   The Riverport Performing Arts Centre, Joint Venture (the Joint Venture) is 
a Missouri General Partnership between Contemporary Investments Corporation 
(Contemporary) and Sverdrup/BRC Joint Venture (formerly Sverdrup/MDRC Joint 
Venture). The partners each hold a 50% interest in the equity and operations 
of the Joint Venture. The term of the Joint Venture continues until December 
31, 2045. The Joint Venture is the developer, owner and operator of a 20,000 
seat outdoor amphitheater located in St. Louis, Missouri. The Joint Venture 
contracts with popular musical performing artists for the entertainment of 
its guests. Entertainment is provided during the months of April through 
October to guests primarily from the St. Louis metropolitan area. 

   The preparation of 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 financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 Cash and Cash Equivalents 

   Cash equivalents consist of investments with a maturity of three months or 
less when purchased. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates 
market. Interest income of $61,199 and $56,708 for 1997 and 1996, 
respectively, is netted against interest expense in the accompanying 
statements of income. 

 Depreciation and Amortization 

   Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated 
useful lives of 5 to 20 years. Deferred financing fees are amortized over the 
life of the related debt. 

 Leasehold Interest 

   The facility was constructed on land obtained through a leasehold interest 
that expires on April 25, 2011. The Sverdrup/BRC Joint Venture sold to 
Contemporary an undivided 50% interest in the leasehold interest. 
Concurrently, both Sverdrup/BRC Joint Venture and Contemporary contributed 
their undivided 50% interests in the leasehold interest into the Joint 
Venture. Ground rent is $1 per year under the lease with the Joint Venture 
assigned as landlord. 

 Deferred Income 

   Deferred income reflects advance sales of season tickets for the 
subsequent operating season and is amortized into show admission revenues as 
the subsequent operating season progresses. 

 Income Taxes 

   Income taxes have not been provided for in the financial statements since 
the Joint Venture is organized as a partnership, and each partner is liable 
for its own tax payments.

The Board of Directors 
SJS Entertainment Corporation 

   We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of SJS 
Entertainment Corporation as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the related 
combined statements of operations and retained earnings and cash flows for 
the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SJS 
Entertainment Corporation at December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the combined 
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                              DECEMBER 31, 1997 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

   The financial statements present the combined financial position and 
results of operations of SJS Entertainment Corporation and its wholly-owned 
subsidiary SJS Research Corporation, and Urban Entertainment Corp. 
(collectively, the "Company") which is affiliated through common management 
and ownership. All intercompany balances and transactions have been 
eliminated in combination. 

 Nature of Business 

   The Company creates, produces and distributes music-related radio programs 
and services which it barters or exchanges with radio broadcasters for 
commercial air time, which is then sold to national network advertisers. 
Through SJS Research, incorporated in September 1997, the Company provides 
statistical information relating to the Entertainment Industry based upon 
telephone surveys. 

 Use of Estimates 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management use of estimates based 
upon available information, which directly affect reported amounts. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates. 

 Depreciation and Amortization 

   Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment is computed using the 
straight-line and declining balance methods, at rates adequate to allocate 
the cost of the applicable asset over its expected useful life. Amortization 
of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the 
shorter of the lease term or the expected useful life of the asset.

<CAPTION>
 <S>                                                  <C>

 Furniture, fixtures and office equipment  ......      5-7 years 
 Production equipment ...........................        5 years 
 Leasehold improvements .........................     5-10 years 
</TABLE>

 Concentration of Credit Risk 

   The Company maintains bank balances with Sterling National Bank in excess 
of the federally insured limit of $100,000. 

 Reclassification 

   Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 
presentation. Retained earnings at January 1, 1996 was adjusted to reflect 
the underaccrual of $51,831 of state and local taxes and $115,000 of sales 
commissions related to 1995. 

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

6. INCOME TAXES 

   Urban Entertainment Corporation has elected "S" Corporation status for 
both federal and state tax purposes. Accordingly, all items of income, loss, 
deduction or credit are reported by the stockholders on their respective 
personal income tax returns. Therefore, no federal or state tax has been 
provided. 

   SJS Entertainment Corporation is subject to corporate taxes at the federal 
level and eight state and local jurisdictions. 

   The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 
1996 is summarized as follows: 

<TABLE>

                 1996       1997

<PAGE>
                        SJS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

   Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences 
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting 
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. As of December 31, 
1997, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $124,000 relating 
to start-up costs which is offset in full by a valuation allowance. 

   The provision for income taxes differed from the U.S. statutory rate 
principally due to nondeductible meals and entertainment expense, state and 
local taxes and in 1997 only, the valuation allowance. 

7. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN 

   The Company maintains a retirement plan for their employees under Section 
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees are eligible to 
participate once they obtain the minimum age requirement of 21 years, and 
have satisfied the service requirement of six months with the Company. 
Participants may make voluntary contributions into the plan of up to 15% of 
their compensation. The Company contributes to each participant's account an 
amount equal to 25% of the participant's voluntary contribution, or $2,000, 
whichever is less. 

   During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, employer contributions 
totaled $16,758 and $18,747 respectively. 

   
8. LEGAL MATTERS 

   The Company has been named in various lawsuits arising in the normal 
course of business. It is not possible at this time to assess the probability 
of any liability against the Company as a result of these lawsuits. 
Management has stated that all cases will be vigorously defended. 

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

   On February 27, 1998, the Company was acquired by SFX Entertainment Inc.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 

The Board of Directors 
The Album Network, Inc. 

   We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of The Album 
Network, Inc. and Affiliated Companies as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and 
the related combined statements of operations and stockholders' deficit and 
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the 
responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements based on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the combined financial position of The Album 
Network, Inc. and Affiliated Companies at September 30, 1997 and 1996, and 
the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the years 
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

               THE ALBUM NETWORK, INC. AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES 
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 

 Principles of Combination 

   The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of The 
Album Network, Inc., The Network 40, Inc., The Urban Network, Inc. and 
In-the-Studio (collectively, the "Companies"). Intercompany transactions and 
balances among the Companies have been eliminated in combination. 

   On August 27, 1997, the board of directors and shareholders of the 
Companies approved a plan of agreement and merger which provided that The 
Urban Network, Inc. merge into The Album Network, Inc. (the "Company") 
effective September 24, 1997. The Companies accounted for the transaction as 
a merger of companies under common control. 

   The Companies publish six music trade magazines, produce rock, urban and 
top 40 programming specials and manufacture compact disc samplers. They also 
serve as product marketing advisors to contemporary music talent and their 
managers in providing creative content and innovative marketing campaigns. In 
addition, the Companies provide research services for radio station program 
directors and record label executives. The Companies publishes five print 
periodicals for rock and top 40 music broadcasters, retailers and music 
industry executives. The weekly publications are the "Album Network" and the 
"Network 40". The monthly publications are the "Virtually Alternative" and 
"Totally Adult" and the quarterly publication is titled "AggroActive." 
Additionally, "The Urban Network" trade magazine is published each week. 

 Revenue Recognition 

   The Companies' magazines generate revenue from advertising sales, 
complemented by subscription sales and incremental direct mail revenue. 

   Unearned subscription income represents revenues on subscriptions for 
which publications have not been delivered to customers as of the balance 
sheet date. Unearned subscription income at September 30, 1996 also includes 
unearned income on certain advertising and direct mail packages. 

   Revenue from research services is recognized straight-line over the 
license term or upon the sale of computer software developed for licensees 
and other customers. Advertising and broadcast revenues are recognized when 
advertisements are run or aired. 

 Furniture and Equipment 

   Furniture and equipment are valued at cost less accumulated depreciation. 
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line and declining balance methods 
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: 

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>                           <C>
 Computer hardware ...........5 years 
Software .................... 5 years 
Furniture and equipment  .... 5-7 years 
Leasehold improvements  ..... 5 years 
</TABLE>

 Deferred Software Costs 

   Costs incurred to produce software masters and subsequent enhancements to 
such software are capitalized and amortized over the remaining economic life 
of the master (generally, five years). Costs of maintenance and customer 
support are charged to expense when incurred. 

 Cash and Cash Equivalents 

   The Companies consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a 
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 

 Income Taxes 

   Each of the affiliated Companies file a separate tax return. The Album 
Network, Inc. and the Urban Network, Inc. are "C Corporations." The Network 
40, Inc. has elected to be taxed as an "S Corporation". The "S Corporation" 
election is effective for both federal and state tax purposes. Accordingly 
all items of income, loss, deduction or credit are reported by the 
shareholders on their respective personal income tax returns. The corporate 
tax rate for S Corporations in California is one and one-half percent (1.5%).

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

 Risks and Uncertainties 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and 
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

   
 Concentration of Credit Risk 

   The Company maintains bank balances with City National Bank in excess of 
the federally insured limit of $100,000. 

 Reclassification 

   Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to 
conform with the current presentations. 

 Interim Financial Information 

   Financial information as of December 31, 1997 and for the three months 
ended December 31, 1997 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such period 
have been included, all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. 
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. 

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

 Officers' Loans 

   The Companies have several loan agreements outstanding with its officers 
in order to satisfy the cash flow needs of operations. The interest rates on 
the loans to and from the officers range from approximately 10% to 12%. 

   At October 1, 1995, the officers owed the Companies $471,918 and the 
Companies owed the officers $637,116. During the year ended September 30, 
1996, the officers repaid $48,471 and loaned the Companies an additional 
$12,884. 

   At October 1, 1996, the officers owed the Companies $423,447 and the 
Companies owed the officers $650,000. During the year ended September 30,

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

 Leases 

   The Companies lease an office facility under noncancellable leases which 
expire in February 1998. 

   Total rent expense for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 under 
operating leases was $262,812 and $256,026, respectively. 

   Future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases as of 
September 30, 1997 total $121,155, all of which is payable in 1998. 

 Other Matters 

   As of September 30, 1997, approximately $80,000 was drawn on lines of 
credit with City National Bank. There were no amounts drawn as of September 
30, 1996. 

6. INCOME TAXES 

   The Album Network has received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency from the 
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the years ended September 30, 1994, 1995 
and 1996 asserting tax deficiencies resulting primarily from an IRS position 
that compensation paid to officers was unreasonable and excessive. In total, 
approximately $3.5 million of adjustments increasing taxable income have been 
proposed. The total additional tax, penalties and interest through September 
30, 1997 related to these adjustments would be approximately $1.8 million. 
The company has analyzed these matters with tax counsel and believes it has 
meritorious defenses to the deficiencies asserted by the IRS. The company has 
filed a petition with the United States Tax Court contesting the asserted 
liability. While the company believes that a successful defense of this case 
may be made, in light of the economic burdens of the defense, the company may 
entertain a settlement for up to $291,000. Accordingly, the company has 
recorded reserves in such amount, including $23,000, $115,000 and $153,000 
for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and prior periods, respectively.

of the Internal Revenue Code. The Companies contribute monthly to

<PAGE>
                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 

The Board of Directors 
BG Presents, Inc. 

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BG 
Presents, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of January 31, 1997 and 1998, and the 
related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholders' 
equity for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 1998. 
These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial 
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on 
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as 
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

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

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                               JANUARY 31, 1998 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 

 Business and Principles of Consolidation 

   BG Presents, Inc. ("BGP" or the "Company") is a holding company for 
various operating subsidiaries which principally promote and manage musical 
and special events in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition, the Company 
owns the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. Bill Graham 
Enterprises, Inc. ("BGE"), Bill Graham Presents, Inc. ("BGPI"), Bill Graham 
Management, Inc. ("BGM"), AKG, Inc. ("AKG"), Shoreline Amphitheatre, Ltd. 
("SAL"), Fillmore Fingers, Inc. ("FF"), and Shoreline Amphitheatre Partners 
("SAP" and, collectively, the "Companies") are wholly-owned subsidiaries of 
the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the 
accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. 
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 

   BGE and BGPI earn promotion income in two ways: either a fixed fee for 
organizing and promoting an event, or an arrangement that entitles them to a 
profit percentage based on a predetermined formula. In addition, the 
Companies earn revenue from merchandise and concessions sold during events 
which they promote. BGM manages the careers of various artists and records a 
percentage of the artists' gross sales from publishing rights, record sales, 
and tours as contract management revenue. 

   AKG operates the Fillmore, Warfield, and Punchline theatres located in San 
Francisco, which generate revenue from food and beverage sales, sponsorships, 
and ticket sales. Bill Graham Special Events, a division of AKG, records 
management/contract fees from organizing corporate and other parties at 
various venues in the San Francisco Bay Area. FF provides table service (food 
and beverage) for two theatres located in Los Angeles owned by third parties. 

 Revenue Recognition 

   Revenue from talent management and the sales of tickets is recognized when 
earned. Cash received from the sale of tickets for events not yet performed 
is deferred. Revenue from the direct sale of compact discs is recognized upon 
the date of sale. The Company's revenue included $305,017, $14,562,000 and 
$13,483,683 during the fiscal years ended January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, 
respectively, from various gymnastics tours, ice skating tours and television 
specials. 

 Cash and Cash Equivalents 

   The Company considers all investments purchased with an original maturity 
date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At January 31, 1996, 
1997 and 1998, the Companies had cash balances in excess of the federally 
insured limits of $100,000 per institution. 

 Use of Estimates 

   Generally accepted accounting principles require management to make 
assumptions in estimates that affect the amount reported in the financial 
statements for assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. In addition, 
assumptions and estimates are used to determine disclosure for contingencies, 
commitments, and other matters discussed in the notes to the financial 
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 Accounts Receivable 

   The Company's accounts receivable are principally due from ticket service 
and merchandising companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition, 
related party receivables include amounts due from owners of the Company and 
from affiliated companies. Management believes that all accounts receivable 
as of January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 were fully collectible; therefore, no 
allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded.

   (CONTINUED) 

   
 Property and Equipment 

   Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their 
estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 40 years. Leasehold 
improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the shorter of the 
lease term or estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs 
are charged to expense as incurred. 

 Goodwill 

   The Company amortizes goodwill over a 15 year period. 

 Income Taxes 

   The Companies account for income taxes under the liability method, whereby 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences 
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are 
measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the 
differences are expected to reverse. 

 Inventories 

   Inventories, which consist principally of compact discs and beverage 
items, are stated at first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost, which is not in excess 
of market. 

 Advertising and Promotion Costs 

   The Company expenses all advertising and promotion costs as incurred, 
except in instances where management believes these costs generate a direct 
response from customers. Advertising expenses were $3,408,322, $4,319,291 and 
$4,519,049 for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, 
respectively. 

2. INCOME TAXES 

   The provision for income taxes for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1997 
and 1998 is summarized as follows:

             ============ ============ 
</TABLE>

   
   Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences 
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting 
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company's net 
deferred tax liabilities as of January 31, 1997 and 1998 are primarily the 
result of the difference between the book basis of depreciable assets and the 
related tax basis. 

   The difference between the tax provision at Federal statutory rates and 
the effective rate is due to state taxes, amortization of goodwill and other 
nondeductible items.

   The Company sponsors a 401(k) Tax Advantage Savings Plan that covers 
employees who have one year of service, have worked at least 1,000 hours, are 
21 years of age or older, and are not covered by a union contract. At its 
discretion, the Company may contribute a percentage of gross pay to the plan,

and 1998, respectively.

 Shoreline Amphitheater Lease and Agreement 

   The Shoreline Amphitheater Lease and Agreement, as amended, provides for, 
among other things, that the City of Mountain View, California (the "City") 
owns certain real property (the "Site") which it has leased to the Company 
for the purpose of constructing and operating the amphitheater. The lease 
terminates after 35 years on November 30, 2021, and the Company has the 
option to extend for three additional five-year periods. 

   The Company is obligated to pay as rent to the City a certain percentage 
of "gross receipts" received annually by the Company and additional rent 
based on the "net available cash" of the Company, as such terms are defined 
in the agreement.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) 

   Rent expense charged to operations for the years ended January 31, 1996, 
1997 and 1998 amounted to $594,002, $396,789 and $613,933, respectively. 

   As of the year ended January 31, 1997, the Company was obligated to pay 
the City $93,200 monthly, which related to $9,500,000 of funds provided the 
Company by the City pursuant to the lease. Prior to the refinancing of this 
arrangement as a $6.9 million note payable to Sanwa Bank (see Note 5), the 
Company had accounted for this obligation as a long-term liability 
amortizable on a monthly basis over the 20-year period commencing August 1, 
1986. The principal and interest (10.24%) on this liability were being 
amortized monthly. At January 31, 1997, the outstanding balance amounted to 
$6,740,395, of which $35,676 was current. 

   
 Seattle White River Amphitheatre 

   The Company has committed payments for the construction of an amphitheatre 
in the Seattle, Washington market totaling $10 million. Through January 31, 
1998, the Company has paid $3,921,812 toward this project. This amount is 
included in other assets on the balance sheet. The Company has also 
capitalized interest pertaining to the capital expenditures for the 
amphitheatre of $175,633 at January 31, 1998, which is also included in other 
assets on the balance sheet. 

 Employment Contracts 

   The Company has entered into employment contracts with certain key 
employees which amount to $2,300,000 per year. These contracts are in effect 
until the first note payable to Sanwa Bank (see Note 5) is paid in full or 
six years, whichever comes first. According to these agreements, compensation 
and other benefits will cease if discharged with just cause, death or 
disability, and resignation of employment. Benefits do not cease if 
discharged without just cause. 

 Contingencies 

   The Company is involved in various legal and other matters arising in the 
normal course of business. Based upon information available to management, 
its review of these matters to date and consultation with counsel, management 
believes that any liability relating to these matters would not have a 
material effect on the Company's financial position and results of 
operations. 

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

 Acquisition of Companies by SFX Entertainment, Inc. 

   On February 24, 1998, the stockholders of the Company sold all of the

cash consideration of $60.8 million (including the repayment of $12 million 
in the Companies' debt and the issuance of 562,640 shares of common stock of 
SFX Entertainment, Inc.). The Company has agreed to have net working capital, 
as defined, at the closing at least equal to the Company's debt.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 

The Board of Directors 
Concert/Southern Promotions 

   We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of 
Concert/Southern Promotions and Affiliated Companies as of December 31, 1997, 
and the related combined statements of operations, cash flows and 
stockholders' equity for the year then ended. These financial statements are 
the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on these financial statements based on our audit. 

   We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the combined financial position of Concert/Southern 
Promotions and Affiliated Companies at December 31, 1997, and the combined 
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

             CONCERT/SOUTHERN PROMOTIONS AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES 
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                              DECEMBER 31, 1997 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 

 Principles of Combination 

   The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of 
Southern Promotions, Inc., High Cotton, Inc., Buckhead Promotions, Inc., 
Northern Exposure, Inc., Pure Cotton, Inc., Cooley and Conlon Management, 
Inc. ("CCMI") and Interfest, Inc. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries: 
Concert/Southern Chastain Promotions ("Concert/Southern"), Roxy Ventures, 
Cotton Club and Midtown Music Festival (collectively, the "Companies"). 
Intercompany transactions and balances among these companies have been 
eliminated in combination. The Companies are presented on a combined basis to 
reflect common ownership by Alex Cooley, Peter Conlon and Stephen Selig III. 

   Concert/Southern is the predominant musical event promoter in the Atlanta, 
Georgia region, and through Chastain Joint Ventures ("Chastain Ventures") is 
the operator, pursuant to a long-term lease with the City of Atlanta, of the 
Chastain Park Amphitheater. Chastain Ventures is owned equally by 
Concert/Southern and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and is accounted for by 
Concert/Southern on the equity method. Buckhead Promotions and Northern 
Exposure equally own Roxy Ventures which holds a long-term lease for the Roxy 
Theatre, and Pure Cotton holds a long-term lease for the Cotton Club. 
Interfest, Inc. promoted the three-day Midtown Music Festival held in 
downtown Atlanta during 1997. In addition, High Cotton owns 52.6% of HC 
Properties, Inc., a real estate investment company which is accounted for on 
the equity method. 

   The Companies record revenue when earned. Concert revenue includes 
ticketing, concession, and sponsorship revenue. Deferred income relates 
primarily to deposits received in advance of the concert season. 

 Property and Equipment 

   Land, leasehold improvements, and furniture and equipment are stated at 
cost. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is provided primarily by the 
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective 
classes of assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the 
lease or of the improvement, whichever is shorter. 

 Income Taxes 

   The Companies have been organized as either partnerships or corporations 
which have elected to be taxed as "S Corporations." The "S Corporation" 
elections are effective for both federal and state tax purposes. Accordingly, 
all items of income, loss, deduction or credit are reported by the partners 
or shareholders on their respective personal income tax returns and, 
therefore, no current or deferred federal or state taxes have been provided 
in the accompanying combined financial statements. 

   The difference between the tax basis and the reported amounts of the 
Companies' assets and liabilities was $16,576 at December 31, 1997. 

 Risks and Uncertainties 

   Accounts receivable are due from ticket vendors and venue box offices. 
These amounts are typically collected within 20 days of a performance. 
Management considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; 
accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. 

 Use of Estimates 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and 
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

   The Companies have an arrangement with Stephen Selig III whereby the cash 
receipts of Concert/Southern, Buckhead Promotions and Roxy Ventures are 
transferred to the Selig Enterprises, Inc. Master Cash Account (the "Master 
Account"). All subsequent payments made by the Companies are funded by the 
Master Account. Accordingly, the Companies' cash held by the Master Account 
of $281,058 is recorded as due from owner. 

   In addition, CCMI has recorded a receivable from its stockholders of 
$51,696.

 Legal Matters 

   On October 10, 1997, Concert/Southern settled a lawsuit agreeing to pay 
$100,000. Such amount has been provided for in the accompanying combined 
statement of operations. 

   The Companies have also been named in various other lawsuits arising in 
the normal course of business. It is not possible at this time to assess the 
probability of any liability against the Companies as a result of these 
lawsuits. Management has stated that all cases will be vigorously defended. 

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

   On March 4, 1998, SFX Entertainment Inc. acquired the Companies for a 
total cash purchase price of $16,900,000 (including a working capital payment 
of $300,000). 

   Prior to the sale of the Companies to SFX, the sole shareholder of High 
Cotton received a distribution of High Cotton's interest in HC Properties, 
Inc.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 

   
The Board of Directors 
Falk Associates Management Enterprises, Inc. 

   We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Falk 
Associates Management Enterprises, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and 
the related combined statements of operations and stockholders' equity 
(deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements 
are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of 
Falk Associates Management Enterprises, Inc. at December 31, 1996 and 1997, 
and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the years 
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                              DECEMBER 31, 1997 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 Principles of Combination 

   The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of 
Falk Associates Management Enterprises, Inc. ("FAME") and Financial Advisory 
Management Enterprises, Inc. ("FINAD") (collectively, the "Companies"). 
Transactions and balances among the Companies have been eliminated in 
combination. The Companies are subject to common ownership. 

   In exchange for a percentage fee or commission, FAME provides 
representation services regarding the negotiation of professional sporting 
contracts and marketing and endorsement contracts. FINAD provides financial 
management services including, but not limited to, the implementation of 
financial planning to meet clients' savings and financial goals, the receipt 
and deposit of funds, cash flow budgeting and analysis, preparation of 
financial statements and tax return services, in exchange for an annual fixed 
fee and an additional percentage fee based on the dollar value of assets 
managed and monitored. 

 Revenue Recognition 

   The Companies revenues arise primarily from percentage fees or commissions 
received for the negotiation of professional sporting contracts and marketing 
and endorsement contracts. The Companies recognize revenue ratably over the 
period of the associated contract. Deferred revenue is recorded on the 
accompanying combined balance sheets when funds are received in advance of 
the performance period and is recognized over the period of performance. 

 Accounts Receivable 

   Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from professional athletes for 
services rendered or for fees due related to prior performance that has been 
contractually deferred to a later date. Management considers these accounts 
receivable as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 to be collectible; accordingly, 
no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. 

 Fixed Assets 

   Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization of fixed 
assets is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful 
lives of the assets including 5 years for technical equipment, 7 years for 
furniture and office equipment and 10 years for leasehold improvements. 

 Income Taxes 

   The Companies are cash-basis taxpayers and have elected to be taxed as S 
Corporations for federal and state income tax purposes. All items of income, 
loss and credits are reported by the Companies stockholders on their 
respective personal income tax returns. Accordingly, no current and deferred 
federal corporate income taxes have been provided in the accompanying 
combined financial statements. However, since the Companies operate in the 
District of Columbia ("D.C.") they are subject to D.C. income tax. No D.C. 
income tax benefits have been provided on the Companies' D.C. net operating 
loss carryforwards and other deductible temporary differences due to the 
uncertainty of recognizing future tax benefits for these items. 

 Risks and Uncertainties 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial 
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.

                 FALK ASSOCIATES MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISES, INC. 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 

   
   The Companies derive substantially all of its agent fees from the 
representation services they provide regarding the negotiation of 
professional sporting contracts and marketing and endorsement contracts for 
professional athletes in the National Basketball Association ("NBA"). In 
March 1998, the NBA Board of Governors voted to exercise the league's right 
to re-open its Collective Bargaining Agreement (the "Agreement") with the 
National Basketball Players Association. As a result, the Agreement will 
expire as of June 30, 1998. As a matter of Collective Bargaining, the 
Agreement, when it expires, continues in place until it is replaced by a 
successor agreement, or until some other labor remedies are utilized by one 
party or the other, meaning a strike or a lockout or a moratorium 
collectively. Should there be a work stoppage due to either a lockout or 
strike and NBA games are not played, it would be likely that the Companies 
agent fees would be negatively impacted. 
    

 Significant Customer 

   
   The Companies three most significant sources of revenue provided a 
majority of the Companies combined agent fees for the year ended December 31, 
1996 and 1997, respectively. 

 Interim Financial Information 

   The interim financial data as of March 31, 1998 and for three-month 
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited and certain information 
and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. 
However, in the opinion of Management, the interim data includes all 
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a 
fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of 
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the entire year.

       outstanding a six-month $200,000 time note (the "Time Note") with a

(B)    On December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively, the Companies had 
       outstanding a $100,000 one-year line of credit with the Bank which was 
       fully drawn as of those dates. Interest was set at the prime rate which 
       approximated 8.25% at both December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 
       Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Principal and any outstanding 
       interest is payable in full at December 31, 1998. The line of credit 
       contains covenants which are similar to those in the Time Note. 
(C)    In December 1996, the Companies entered into a five year $55,861 note 
       payable with the Bank. Interest was fixed at 8.75%. Commencing January 
       1997, the note became payable in 59 monthly installments consisting of 
       principal and interest with the final payment equal to any remaining 
       principal and interest due. The note is secured by specific computer 
       hardware and software which was purchased with the proceeds of the note 
       payable.

 Settlement Agreement 

   
   In 1994, the Companies were party to a $1.9 million legal settlement 
arising from a civil suit wherein they were jointly and severally liable to 
make settlement payments over a seven year period. The carrying value of the 
settlement agreement was approximately $793,300 and $658,800 at December 31, 
1997 and 1996, respectively, discounted at a 8.25% interest rate. 
    

 Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding 

   In January 1992, an Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding (the 
"Agreement") was executed between the Companies' principal stockholder and a 
third party which formerly employed the principal stockholder. Under the 
terms of the Agreement, the Companies are obligated to remit to the third 
party a percentage of the Companies fees as received for the representation 
services provided regarding the negotiation of professional sporting 
contracts and marketing and endorsement contracts. Agreement terms are 
limited to those professional athletes who became clients of the Companies at 
the time of the Companies formation and generally does not give the third 
party any right to fees related to contract renewals.

 Stock Appreciation Rights 

   In December 1996, the Companies issued stock appreciation rights ("SARs") 
to a stockholder and executive vice president of the Companies. The SARs are 
exercisable only upon the occurrence of defined terms and conditions, 
including the sale or merger of the Companies to a third party or upon 
termination of employment. Accordingly, upon the exercise of the SAR's, the 
Companies will record expense in the combined statement of operations equal 
to the fair value of the SARs. 

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

 Stockholder Loan Receivable 

   In January 1993, the Companies entered into two eight-year promissory loan 
notes with a stockholder of the Companies for face amounts of $384,000 and 
$96,000. The loans accrue interest at a fixed rate of 5.7% with monthly 
payments of principal and accrued interest commencing January 1, 1997. 

 Stockholder Loan Payable 

   In January 1993, the principle stockholder of the Companies made a $95,000 
non-interest bearing advance to the Companies in connection with its 
formation. This advance is due on demand and has been classified as a current 
liability in the accompanying combined balance sheets. 

 Stockholders' Life Insurance 

   
   The Companies are the owners and beneficiaries of key-man life insurance 
policies carried on the lives of its stockholders' with cash surrender values 
totaling approximately $73,300 and $115,400 as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, 
respectively. No loans are outstanding against the policies, but there is no 
restriction in the policy regarding loans. 
    

   The life insurance contracts are accompanied by mandatory stock purchase 
agreements relating to the amount of the proceeds of the life insurance. Upon 
death, the insured's estate will be obligated to sell, and the Companies will 
be obligated to purchase the insured's stock up to the value of the stock or 
the proceeds of insurance, whichever is lesser. The purpose is to protect the 
Companies against an abrupt change in ownership. 

6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN 

   
   During 1997, the Companies began sponsoring a deferred contribution plan 
(the "Plan"). The Plan enables all full time employees who have completed one 
year of service with the Companies to make voluntary contributions to the 
Plan not to exceed the dollar limits as prescribed by the Internal Revenue 
Service. Under the Plan, the Companies matches an employee's contribution up 
to a maximum of 3% of their salary. The Companies contribution for the year 
ended December 31, 1997 was approximately $40,800. 
    

7. STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT 

   The stockholders of the Companies currently maintain a Stockholders 
Agreement (the "Agreement") which place restrictions on the transfer (as 
defined in the Agreement) of their stock. 

   
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT 

   On April 29, 1998 the stockholders of the Companies entered into an 
agreement with a subsidiary of SFX Entertainment, Inc. ("SFX") whereby SFX 
will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of the Companies for a 
total purchase price of approximately $82.9 million (including approximately 
$7.9 million which the Companies anticipate receiving for the reimbursement 
of certain taxes that they will be subject to) and the issuance of 1.0 
million shares of SFX's Class A Common Stock.

1997 as a Massachusetts Limited Liability Company. On that date, the net 
assets of the following companies (collectively, "Don Law and Affiliates"), 
which had been commonly controlled and functionally related, and a related 
parcel of land located in Mansfield, Massachusetts were contributed in 
formation of the Company: 

   o  Great Woods, Inc. 

   o  Time Trust Associates Joint Venture 

   o  Harborlights Pavilion, Inc. 

   o  NEXT, Inc. 

   o  Don Law Company, Inc. 

   o  Orpheum Management Corporation 

   o  Black and Copper, Ltd. 

   o  Andrew Trust LLC 

   These financial statements reflect the businesses subject to the transaction
described in Note 10 and accordingly, represent the combined results of 
Blackstone Entertainment LLC and Don Law and Affiliates as a predecessor. The 
net assets transferred to the Company have been recorded at their historical 
book values. 

 Nature of Business 

   Great Woods, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, managed and operated the 
Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Time 
Trust Associates Joint Venture, a Massachusetts general partnership, held 
title to the real estate on which the facility is situated. 

   Harborlights Pavilion, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, managed and

design, advertising, marketing and promotional services principally to its 
related entities.

 Limited Liability Company 

   The Company's operating agreement provides that liability of its members 
is limited to their capital invested in the Company. The Company's operating 
agreement does not limit its term of existence, and provides for dissolution 
upon the occurrence of certain events, one of which is the acquisition by one 
member of all of the outstanding ownership interest.

                 NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 
    

 Member Classes and Priorities 

   
   The Company's operating agreement provides for one of its members to 
receive a priority distribution of current year earnings and liquidation 
proceeds to $2,250,000. The remaining members receive a matching distribution 
subsequent to the priority distribution of $2,250,000. All additional 
proceeds are then divided evenly among the members. The operating agreement 
provides for both priorities to disappear upon the Company's attainment of 
certain distribution levels. 
    

 Cash and Cash Equivalents 

   
   Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, time deposits, commercial paper 
and money market mutual funds. The Company invests its excess cash in highly 
rated companies and financial institutions. These deposits have original 
maturities that do not exceed three months. During the course of the year, 
the Company maintained balances in financial institutions in excess of FDIC 
insured limits. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 
and 1997 is approximately $50,000 and $55,000, respectively, of restricted 
cash to be used for future Orpheum Theatre renovations and improvements. 
    

 Fixed Assets 

   
   Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over estimated 
useful lives ranging from three to thirty-nine years utilizing straight-line 
and accelerated methods. Depreciation expense charged to operations was 
$1,992,321 and $1,798,386 during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, 
respectively. 
    

 Intangible Assets, Net 

   
   Intangible assets consisting of goodwill which is being amortized over 
fifteen years using the straight-line method and organization costs incurred 
when Harborlights Pavilion, Inc. and NEXT, Inc. were established are being 
amortized over five years using the straight-line method. These assets are 
shown on the combined balance sheets net of accumulated amortization of 
$125,665 and $360,524 as of December 31, 1996 and 1997. Total amortization 
expense charged to operations was $34,316 and $234,859 during the years ended 
December 31, 1996 and 1997. 
    

 Revenue Recognition 

   All divisions, except for NEXT, recognize event-related revenue upon 
completion of each performance. Advance ticket receipts for performances are 
recorded as deferred revenue. Costs incurred which relate to future 
performances are recorded as prepaid expenses. The NEXT division recognizes 
revenues as tickets are sold and services are performed. 

 Income Taxes 

   
   The Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax 
purposes. The Company's earnings and losses are included in the members' 
income tax returns in relation to their respective ownership interests; 
accordingly, no provision is required for federal and state income taxes. 
    

 Advertising Expense 

   
   The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense 
amounted to approximately $1,849,000 and $2,061,000 during the years ended 
December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

 Use of Estimates 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. 
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. 

   
 Year 2000 (unaudited) 

   The Company has addressed the risks associated with year 2000 compliance 
with respect to its ticketing system based on consultation with its vendors. 
Future costs associated with such compliance are not expected to be 
significant. 

 Interim Financial Information 

   The interim financial data as of March 31, 1998 and for the three-month 
periods ending March 31, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited and certain information 
and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. 
However, in the opinion of Management, the interim data includes all 
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a 
fair statement of the results for the interim period. The results of 
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the entire year.

   Under the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the 
Underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the shares offered 
hereby, if any are taken. 

   The Underwriters propose to offer the shares of Class A Common Stock in 
part directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the 
cover page of this Prospectus and in part to certain securities dealers at 
such price less a concession of $     per share. The Underwriters may allow, 
and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $     per share 
to certain brokers and dealers. After the shares of Class A Common Stock are 
released for sale to the public, the offering price and other selling terms 
may from time to time be varied by the representatives. 

   The Company has granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days 
after the date of this Prospectus to purchase up to an aggregate of 
additional shares of Class A Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any. 
If the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, the Underwriters 
have severally agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase 
approximately the same percentage thereof that the number of shares to be 
purchased by each of them, as shown in the foregoing table, bears to the 
shares of Class A Common Stock offered. 

   
   The Company and certain of its directors and executive officers have 
agreed that, such officers and directors will not, without the prior written 
consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co., during the period commencing on the date 
hereof and ending 180 days after the date of this Prospectus, (i) offer, 
pledge, sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, 
any shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or 
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or any right to acquire Common 
Stock, or (ii) enter into any swap or similar agreement that transfers, in 
whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Common Stock. The 
foregoing provisions shall not apply to (i) exercise of options or warrants, 
or (ii) transfers, without consideration, of the Common Stock or any 
securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock 
to family members or to one or more trusts established for the benefit of one 
or more family members, provided that the transferee executes and delivers to 
Goldman, Sachs & Co., an agreement whereby the transferee agrees to be bound 
by all of the foregoing terms and provisions. Goldman, Sachs & Co. in its 
sole discretion and at any time without notice, may release all or any 
portion of the securities subject to the Lock-Up Agreements or may waive the 
covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement. Any such decision to 
release securities would likely be based upon individual stockholder 
circumstances, prevailing market conditions and other relevant factors. Any 
such release could have a material adverse effect upon the price of the Class 
A Common Stock. Upon the expiration or termination of the Lock-Up Agreements, 
the shares held by affiliates will be eligible for sale subject to compliance 
with the provisions of Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration 
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
    

   In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may purchase and sell 
the Class A Common Stock in the open market. These transactions may include 
over-allotment and stabilizing transactions, 

                               U-1           
<PAGE>
"passive" market making and purchases to cover syndicate short positions 
created in connection with the Offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of 
certain bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing or retarding a 
decline in the market price of the Class A Common Stock; and syndicate short 
positions involve the sale by the Underwriters of a greater number of Class A 
Common Stock than they are required to purchase from the Company in the 
Offering. The Underwriters also may impose a penalty bid, whereby selling 
concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers in respect 
of the securities sold in the Offering for their account may be reclaimed by 
the syndicate if such Class A Common Stock are repurchased by the syndicate 
in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, 
maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Class A Common Stock, 
which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open 
market; and these activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. 
These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market, in the 
over-the-counter market or otherwise. 

   
   As permitted by Rule 103 under the Exchange Act, certain Underwriters (and 
selling group members, if any) that are market makers ("passive market 
makers") in the Class A Common Stock may make bids for or purchases of the 
Class A Common Stock in the Nasdaq National Market until such time, if any, 
when a stabilizing bid for such securities has been made. Rule 103 generally 
provides that (1) a passive market maker's net daily purchases of the Class A 
Common Stock may not exceed 30% of its average daily trading volume in such 
securities for the two full consecutive calendar months (or any 60 
consecutive days ending within the 10 days) immediately preceding the filing 
date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, (2) 
a passive market maker may not effect transactions or display bids for the 
Class A Common Stock at a price that exceeds the highest independent bid for 
the Class A Common Stock by persons who are not passive market makers and (3) 
bids made by passive market makers must be identified as such. 

   Certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates have from time to time 
provided investment banking and financial advisory services to the Company and
its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received
customary fees, and they may continue to provide such services to the Company
and its affiliates in the future. In addition, affiliates of certain of the
Underwriters are lenders to the Company under the Credit Agreement.

   The Class A Common Stock is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq National 
Market under the symbol "SFXE." 
    

   The Company has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters against 
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 
    
   Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any 
person who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, 
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal 
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of 
the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was an officer 
or director of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the 
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation 
or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorney's 
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and 
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or 
proceeding, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he 
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the 
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no 
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Where an officer or 
director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any 
action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the 
expenses which he actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. 


   The Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Company Certificate") 
provides that no director of the Company will be personally liable to the 
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty 
as a director, except for liability: 

   o  for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its 
      stockholders; 

   o  for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional 
      misconduct or a knowing violation of law; 

   o  under Section 174 of the DGCL; or 

   o  for any transaction from which the director derived an improper 
      personal benefit. 

In addition to the circumstances in which a director of the Company is not 
personally liable as set forth above, no director will be liable to the 
Company or its stockholders to such further extent as permitted by any law 
enacted after the date of the Company Certificate, including any amendment to 
the DGCL. 

   The Company Certificate requires the Company to indemnify any person who 
was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or 
proceeding, by reason of the fact that he (a) is or was a director or officer 
of the Company or (b) is or was serving at the request of the Company as a 
director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, 
or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, 
sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise. This 
indemnification is to be to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The 
right to 

                               II-1           
<PAGE>
indemnification will be a contract right and, as such, will run to the 
benefit of any director or officer who is elected and accepts the position of 
director or officer of the Company or elects to continue to serve as a 
director or officer of the Company while this provision of the Company 
Certificate is in effect. The right to indemnification includes the right to 
be paid by the Company for expenses incurred in defending any such action, 
suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent 
permitted under the DGCL. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of 
expenses is not paid in full by the Company within 60 days after a written 
claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may, at any time 
thereafter, bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of 
the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, expenses of prosecuting his 
claim. It will be a defense to any such action that the requested 
indemnification or advancement of costs of defense are not permitted under 
the DGCL, but the burden of proving this defense will be on the Company. The 
rights described above do not exclude any other right that any person may 
have or acquire under any statute, by-law, resolution of stockholders or 
directors, agreement or otherwise. 

   The by-laws of the Company require the Company to indemnify its officers, 
directors, employees and agents to the full extent permitted by the DGCL. The 
by-laws also require the Company to pay expenses incurred by a director in 
defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason of the 
fact that he is/was a director (or was serving at the Company's request as a 
director or officer of another corporation) in advance of the final 
disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking 
by or on behalf of the director to repay the advance if it ultimately is 
determined that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company 
as authorized by relevant sections of the DGCL. The indemnification and 
advancement of expenses provided in the by-laws are not to be deemed 
exclusive of any other rights provided by any agreement, vote of stockholders 
or disinterested directors or otherwise. 

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES 

   On February 11, 1998, the Company sold $350.0 million in aggregate 
principal amount of its 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008. Lehman

Notes (i) to certain "qualified institutional buyers," as defined in Rule 
144A of the Securities Act, and (ii) outside the United States to certain 
persons in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. 
The aggregate cash offering price of the Notes was $350.0 million and the 
aggregate discounts and commissions related to the sale were $10.5 million. 
The Company relied upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of 
the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering. The 
Company has agreed to register the Notes (or a new series of securities 
identical in all respects to the Notes) under the Securities Act within a 
certain time period.

connection with such acquisition, the Company issued to the sellers of PACE 
1.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Spin-Off. 

   On February 27, 1998, the Company consummated its acquisition of 
Contemporary. In connection with such acquisition, the Company issued to the 
sellers of Contemporary shares of the Company's series A redeemable 
convertible preferred stock which automatically converted into 1,402,850 
shares of Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Spin-Off. 
    

   On February 24, 1998, the Company consummated its acquisition of BGP. In 
connection with such acquisition, the Company issued to the sellers of BGP 
options to purchase an aggregate of 562,640 shares of Class A Common Stock 
upon consummation of the Spin-Off. 

   
   On February 27, 1998, the Company consummated its acquisition of Network. 
In connection with such acquisition, the Company issued to the sellers of

Spin-Off.

526,566 shares of Class A Common Stock to the holders of certain options and 
SAR's issued by SFX Broadcasting. 

   In May 1998, the Company sold 190,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and
650,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to certain executive officers for
a purchase price of $2.00 per share.

    

                               II-2           
<PAGE>
   
   The sales of securities to the sellers of PACE, Contemporary, BGP and 
Network and the issuance of shares to the holders of options and SARs were 
private transactions not involving a public offering and were exempt from the 
registration provisions of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) 
thereof. Each of these sales was made without the use of an underwriter. 

   In addition, the Company has agreed to issue 1,531,782 shares of Class A 
Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of FAME and Don Law.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS 

   (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: 

   (a) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities 
Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as 
part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained 
in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or 
(4) or 497(b) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this 
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. 

   (b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a 
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and 
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the 
initial bona fide offering thereof. 

   (2) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling 
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, 
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such 
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for 
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the 
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling 
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or 
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in 
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless 
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling 
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether 
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                    REORGANIZATION AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         SECTION 2.1 The Reorganization. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, SFX and Entertainment shall use their respective best efforts
to cause, prior to the Distribution Date, all of SFX's right, title and
interest in and to the Transferred Assets to be conveyed, assigned, transferred
and delivered to Entertainment, free and clear of all liens or encumbrances in
favor of SFX or its subsidiaries, and all of SFX's duties, obligations and
responsibilities under the Assumed Liabilities to be assumed by Entertainment
(the "Asset and Liability Transfer"). Such transfer and assumption shall be
effected by means of the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, which shall
be executed and delivered by each of SFX and

                                       4

<PAGE>

Entertainment prior to the Distribution Date. Subject to Section 7.3 hereof, to
the extent that any such conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries
shall not have been so consummated on the Distribution Date, SFX and
Entertainment shall cooperate to effect such consummation as promptly
thereafter as shall be practicable, it nonetheless being understood and agreed
by SFX and Entertainment that neither shall be liable in any manner to any
person who is not a party to this Agreement for any failure of any of the
transfers contemplated by this Article II to be consummated on or subsequent to
the Distribution Date. Whether or not all of the Transferred Assets or the
Assumed Liabilities shall have been legally transferred to, or assumed by,
Entertainment as of the Distribution Date, SFX and Entertainment agree that, as
of the Distribution Date, Entertainment shall have, and shall be deemed to have
acquired, complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Transferred
Assets, together with all of SFX's and its subsidiaries' rights, powers and
privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
Assumed Liabilities and all of SFX's and its subsidiaries' duties, obligations
and responsibilities incident thereto in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

         SECTION 2.2 Working Capital Adjustment.

         (a) In the event that the Distribution occurs prior to the Closing
Date, then on the Distribution Date, the management of SFX shall make an
allocation of working capital between Entertainment and SFX, consistent with
the proper operation of SFX in its usual, regular and ordinary course and,
immediately after the effective time of the Distribution, SFX shall deliver to
Entertainment, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such bank
account as Entertainment shall specify, any positive amount allocated to
Entertainment.

         (b) Not less than five business days prior to the Closing Date, SFX
shall deliver to Entertainment a good faith estimate of Working Capital (as
defined in Section 2.3(d)) as of the Closing Date (the "Estimated Working
Capital"), accompanied by a certificate by the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer of SFX certifying that the Estimated Working Capital
has been calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and this Agreement.
If the Estimated Working Capital is a positive number, then at the Closing SFX
shall deliver to Entertainment, in immediately available funds by wire transfer
to such bank account as Entertainment shall specify, an amount of cash equal to
the Estimated Working Capital. If the Estimated Working Capital is a negative
number, then at the Closing Entertainment shall deliver to SFX, in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to such bank account as SFX shall specify, an
amount of cash equal to the Estimated Working Capital.

         (c)(i) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, SFX will prepare
a statement of Working Capital as of the Closing Date, which will be audited by
Ernst & Young LLP (the "SFX's Working Capital Statement") at the expense of
SFX. SFX will deliver SFX's Working Capital Statement to Entertainment as soon
as practicable and in any event within ninety days after the Closing Date. If
within fifteen days following delivery of SFX's Working Capital Statement to
Entertainment, Entertainment has not given SFX notice of its objection to SFX's
Working Capital Statement (such notice must contain a statement of the basis of
such objection), then the Working Capital reflected on SFX's Working Capital
Statement shall be deemed final and conclusive and shall be the "Final Working
Capital." If Entertainment gives such notice of objection within the fifteen
day period, then the issues in dispute will be submitted to a "big six"
accounting firm (other than Ernst & Young LLP) to be selected jointly by
Entertainment and Parent within the following fifteen days or, if they fail to
agree, such accounting firm shall be Arthur Andersen (Chicago office) (it being
understood that the Chicago office of Arthur Andersen was chosen because of
representations made that neither Parent and its Affiliates, SFX and its
Affiliates nor

                                       5

<PAGE>

Entertainment and its Affiliates have a material relationship with such office,
and if any of such parties prior to the calculation of the Final Working
Capital develops a material relationship with such office, the party having
such a relationship shall promptly notify the other party of such relationship
and the parties shall select another office of Arthur Andersen or another "big
six" accounting firm with which none of such parties has a material
relationship to serve as the accountants) (the "Accountants"), for resolution,
and the Accountants shall determine the "Final Working Capital" within thirty
days after the dispute is submitted to them. If issues in dispute are submitted
to the Accountants for resolution, (A) each party will furnish to the
Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to
the disputed issues as the Accountants may request and are available to that
party or its Subsidiaries (or its independent public accountants), and will be
afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to
the determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountants; (B)
the determination by the Accountants of Final Working Capital, as set forth in
a notice delivered to both parties by the Accountants, will be binding and
conclusive on the parties; and (C) Entertainment and SFX will each bear
one-half of the fees and expenses of the Accountants for such determination.
SFX shall make its employees and books and records available to Entertainment
for purposes of verifying Final Working Capital and shall cause Ernst & Young
LLP to make its work papers used in determining Final Working Capital available
to Entertainment.

         (ii) On the third business day following the determination of the
Final Working Capital (the "Payment Date"), (A) if the Working Capital
Adjustment Amount (as defined below) is a positive number, then SFX will pay
such amount to Entertainment in immediately available funds by wire transfer to
such bank account as Entertainment shall specify and (B) if the Working Capital
Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Entertainment will pay such amount
to SFX in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account
specified by SFX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Entertainment has notified
SFX in writing prior to the Payment Date that it wishes to have all or any
portion of the Final Working Capital (such amount, the "Consideration
Adjustment") treated as an adjustment to the Class A Common Stock Merger
Consideration and the Class B Common Stock Merger Consideration, the Class A
Common Stock Merger Consideration and the Class B Common Stock Merger
Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the quotient of the
Consideration Adjustment divided by the fully diluted number of shares of SFX
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and SFX shall
(X) promptly distribute the appropriate amount to the appropriate holders,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, of SFX Common Stock and Series D
Preferred Stock, (Y) promptly distribute upon exercise the appropriate amount
to holders of Options, Warrants and Unit Purchase Options unexercised
immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (Z) promptly distribute the
appropriate amount to holders of Options, Warrants, and Unit Purchase Options
who exercised such securities on and after the Effective Time and prior to the
Payment Date; provided that as a condition precedent to SFX's obligations under
this sentence, Entertainment shall have paid to SFX in immediately available
funds by wire transfer to an account specified by SFX the difference, if any,
between the Consideration Adjustment and the Working Capital Adjustment Amount
so that the aggregate net amount to be paid or received by SFX, as the case may
be, pursuant to this sentence is equal to the amount that would have been paid
or received, as the case may be, pursuant to the first sentence of this
paragraph had the Consideration Adjustment not been made.

         (d) The term "Working Capital" shall mean, as of the point in time
immediately prior to the Effective Time, the sum of all current assets of SFX
and its consolidated Subsidiaries minus the sum of all current liabilities of
SFX and its consolidated Subsidiaries, each as determined in accordance with
GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the balance sheet of SFX as of June 30,
1997 included in Company SEC Documents (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
(provided that no liabilities or reserves reflected on 

                                       6

<PAGE>

such balance sheet shall be reduced or eliminated except by reason of a
payment or credit occurring in the ordinary course of business and consistent
with past practices).

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Working Capital shall, without
duplication either in this computation or as between this computation and the
computation of Excess Debt, (i) be increased by the lesser of (A) 50% of all
fees and expenses incurred by SFX in connection with acquiring consents from
holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and the 2006 Notes in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (B) $1,000,000, (ii)
be increased by, if a positive number, or decreased by, if a negative number,
the product of (A) the Class A Common Stock Merger Consideration and (B) the
difference between 15,589,083 less the sum of the fully diluted number of
shares of SFX Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
(excluding the Meadows Shares (as defined below)) (calculated in a manner
consistent with Section 3.01(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, such
calculation to include, without limitation, derivative securities that will
become issuable upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement), (iii) be reduced by the difference between $84,554,649 less
the sum of (A) the aggregate exercise price of all Options, Warrants and Unit
Purchase Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time plus (B)
the aggregate exercise price of all Unit Purchase Option Warrants underlying
Unit Purchase Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time plus
(C) the aggregate base price of all SARs outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time, (iv) be reduced by the product of (A) $42 and (B) the aggregate
number of shares of SFX Common Stock subject to a right of repurchase in favor
of SFX (the "Meadows Shares") granted pursuant to that certain Agreement of
Merger dated February 12, 1997 among SFX, Nederlander of Connecticut, Inc. and
the other parties thereto outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time,
(v) be increased by all capital expenditures paid by SFX and its Subsidiaries
after June 30, 1997 and immediately prior to the Effective Time permitted by
Section 4.01(a)(viii) of the Merger Agreement, (vi) be decreased by all accrued
capital expenditures of SFX as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (to
the extent not reflected in current liabilities), (vii) be increased by
dividends that have been accrued immediately prior to the Effective Date whose
regularly scheduled payment date has not then yet occurred, (viii) except as
required by clause (xi) below, exclude any liabilities attributable to
Indebtedness, (ix) exclude any liabilities included in clauses (i) through (v)
of the following sentence, (x) be decreased by unpaid costs, fees and expenses
of SFX arising out of, based upon or that will arise from the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement (other than as a result of actions taken
by Sub) (including, without limitation, amounts related to the termination of
any employees, broker fees, legal, accounting and advisory fees and fees
incurred in connection with third party consents, waivers and amendments of
creditors or holders of Preferred Stock), (xi) be reduced by the amount of the
Excess Debt, if a positive number, or be increased by the amount of the Excess
Debt, if a negative number, (xii) be reduced by the amount of the Series E
Premium (as defined below), and (xiii) be reduced by the difference between (A)
the aggregate amount to be paid by SFX pursuant to the Memorandum of
Understanding dated March 17, 1998, relating to the shareholder litigation in
connection with the Merger and (B) any amounts to be paid by SFX's director and
officer insurance policy.

         The term "Series E Premium" shall mean the difference between (i) the
Average Trading Price times 142,032 and (ii) 14,203,200. The term "Average
Trading Price" shall mean the highest of the following averages: (i) the
average of the last sales price of the Series E Preferred Stock during the 15
consecutive business days ending on the Closing Date, or (ii) the average of
the last sales price of the Series E Preferred Stock during the 15 consecutive
business days immediately preceding February 9, 1998.

         (e) The term "Excess Debt" shall mean, as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time, the difference between the sum of the following and
$899,700,000: (i) the difference between (A)

<PAGE>

Indebtedness of SFX and its consolidated Subsidiaries less (B) the difference
between $70,000,000 and any amounts (other than the reimbursement of expenses)
actually received by SFX and its consolidated subsidiaries after August 24,
1997 under agreements relating to the sale or LMA (such LMA payments not to
exceed $30,000 per month) of its WVGO-FM and the sale or LMA of its
Jackson/Biloxi radio stations, less (C) any Indebtedness incurred to finance
acquisitions approved by Parent of stock of or substantially all of the assets
of radio stations, less (D) interest accrued as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time that is not then due and payable, (ii) the Series B Merger
Consideration, (iii) the Series C Merger Consideration, (iv) the liquidation
preference amount of the Series E Preferred Stock, and (v) Environmental Costs
or Liabilities accrued and not paid after June 30, 1997 to the extent they
exceed $100,000 in the aggregate. "Working Capital Adjustment Amount" shall
mean an amount equal to the Final Working Capital, less the Estimated Working
Capital, together with interest on the absolute value of the difference at 10%
per annum beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date of payment of
the Working Capital Adjustment Amount as provided in Section 2.02(c)(ii)
hereof.

asset transferred to Entertainment or any of its Subsidiaries, any Liability
assumed by Entertainment, or any Liability to which none of SFX or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party immediately after the Effective Time and any such
computation shall assume that the Distribution has been consummated.

by merger, stock or asset acquisition or otherwise) additional businesses
engaged in the business in which Entertainment is engaged or (ii) make capital
improvements on assets owned or leased by Entertainment, shall be paid by

account specified by SFX on the Distribution Date and shall not be considered

of the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding on the Record
Date multiplied by the Conversion Rate (as defined in the certificate of
designations governing the Series D Preferred Stock) and (ii) certificates
representing, in the aggregate, the number of shares of Entertainment Class B
Common Stock equal to the number of shares of SFX Class B Common Stock
outstanding on the Record Date. SFX shall instruct the Agent to distribute as
promptly as practicable following the Distribution Date to holders of the SFX
Common Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and interests in the SFX Director
Deferred Stock Ownership Plan on the Record Date (i) one share of Entertainment
Class A Common Stock for every one share of SFX Class A Common Stock, (ii) one
share of Entertainment Class A Common Stock for every one share of SFX Class A
Common Stock credited pursuant to the SFX Director Deferred Stock Ownership
Plan, (iii) the number of shares of Entertainment Class A Common Stock (rounded
down to the next whole share for each holder) equal to the Conversion Rate (as
defined in the Certificate of Designations governing the

                                       9
<PAGE>

Series D Preferred Stock) for every one share of Series D Preferred Stock and
(iv) one share of Entertainment Class B Common Stock for every one share of SFX
Class B Common Stock. Simultaneously with the Distribution, SFX shall place
that number of shares of the Entertainment Class A Common in an escrow account
with an escrow agent selected by SFX and governed by an escrow agreement
reasonably acceptable to SFX and Parent for delivery to the holders of the IPO
Warrants, and SCMC Warrants upon exercise of such warrants that equals the
number of shares of Entertainment Class A Common Stock that the holders of such
warrants would have been entitled to receive if they had exercised all of their
IPO Warrants, and SCMC Warrants immediately prior to the Record Date. SFX and
Entertainment agree to provide to the Agent sufficient certificates in such
denominations as the Agent may request in order to effect the Distribution. All
of the shares of Entertainment Common Stock issued in the Distribution shall be
fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.

         (b) The Distribution shall be deemed to be effective on the
Distribution Date.

         SECTION 4.2 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing
fractional shares of Entertainment Common Stock shall be issued as part of the
Distribution and in lieu of receiving fractional shares, each holder of a
warrant who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of
Entertainment Common Stock upon exercise of such warrant, after aggregating all
shares of Entertainment Common Stock which such holder would be entitled to
receive under Section 4.1, will receive cash for such fractional share. SFX and
Entertainment agree that Entertainment shall instruct the Agent to determine
the number of whole shares and fractional shares of Entertainment Common Stock
allocable to each holder of record of such warrant as of the date of exercise,
to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole
shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then prevailing prices on
behalf of holders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares
interests and to distribute to each such holder such holder's ratable share of
the total proceeds of such sale promptly after the date of exercise. SFX shall
bear the costs of commissions incurred in connection with such sale.

         SECTION 4.3 SFX Employees. If the Distribution occurs prior to the
Closing Date, the Distribution Employees shall continue to be employed by SFX
(at SFX's expense), but shall devote such time as deemed reasonably necessary
to, consistent with their obligations to SFX, support the conduct of the
Entertainment Business by Entertainment on a basis consistent with the time and
scope of services that such employees devoted and provided to the Entertainment
Business prior to the Distribution. Effective immediately prior to the
Effective Time, Entertainment shall assume all obligations arising under any
employment agreement or arrangement (written or oral) between SFX or any of its
Subsidiaries and the Distribution Employees other than the rights, if any, of
the Distribution Employees to receive the options upon termination following a
change of control as defined in their respective employment agreements (the
"Termination Options") immediately prior to the Effective Time (with such
Termination Options being deemed granted as of such time) and all existing
rights to indemnification. SFX and its Subsidiaries, effective as of the
Effective Time (or effective as of the Distribution Date as to any member of
the Distribution Employees that devotes substantially all of his or her
business time to the Entertainment Business), shall be indemnified by
Entertainment in accordance with Article 5 hereof from all obligations arising
under such employment agreements or arrangements (except in respect of the
Termination Options and all existing rights to indemnification). Neither party
shall, directly or indirectly, solicit the employment of any employees of the
other party or its subsidiaries (other than as a result of a general
solicitation for employment); provided, however, that Entertainment may solicit
and contract for the employment effective no earlier than the Effective Time of
the Merger, of Distribution Employees.

         SECTION 4.4 SFX Board Action. The Board of Directors of SFX, in its
discretion, shall establish the Record Date and the Distribution Date and all
appropriate procedures in connection with the Distribution, subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Article 10.

         SECTION 4.5 Registration and Listing; SEC Filings.

         (a) Prior to the Distribution Date:

         (i) SFX and Entertainment shall register the Distribution under
applicable federal and state securities laws if such registration is either
required under applicable law or would otherwise be required to cause the
securities issued in connection with the Distribution to be freely transferable
by Persons not Affiliates of Entertainment. SFX and Entertainment shall use
reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable. In connection
with such registration, Entertainment shall file a Form 8-A, if necessary, with
the SEC.

         (ii) The parties hereto shall use reasonable efforts to take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate under state securities and blue sky
laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         (iii) Entertainment shall prepare, file and seek to make effective,
subject to official notice of issuance, an application for the listing of the
Entertainment Class A Common Stock on a national exchange, or for the inclusion
of quotations for the Entertainment Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock
Market.

         (iv) The parties hereto shall cooperate in preparing, filing with the
SEC and causing to become effective any registration statements or amendments
thereto which are necessary or appropriate in order to effect the transactions
contemplated hereby.

         (b) Entertainment hereby represents and warrants to SFX that each of
the Registration Statement and the Consent Solicitation Documents and each
amendment or supplement thereto did not, at the time it became effective or was
mailed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent
that any such untrue statement or material omission was made by Entertainment
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by
Parent, its representatives or affiliates to Entertainment specifically for use
in such filing.

         SECTION 4.6 Third Party Consents. SFX shall obtain all necessary third
party consents to the Distribution except where the failure to obtain such
consents, in the aggregate, would not (a) have a Material Adverse Effect on
SFX, (b) impair the ability of SFX to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents in any material respect or (c) delay in any material
respect or prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents. The Distribution shall be effected in compliance
with SFX's certificate of incorporation and by-laws and in material compliance
with all applicable laws and shall be subject to obtaining all applicable
consents of Governmental Entities.

         SECTION 4.7 Waivers. Prior to the Distribution Date, SFX and
Entertainment shall obtain from

                                      11
<PAGE>

Ron Delsener and Mitch Slater a release or waiver of any rights that either of
them may have to purchase or acquire all or part of the Delsener/Slater Group.

         SECTION 4.8 Termination of Merger Agreement. If the Merger Agreement
is terminated for any reason in accordance with its terms, the Boards of
Directors of SFX and Entertainment shall appoint committees (the "Independent
Committees") composed solely of independent directors (none of whom shall serve
on both Boards of Directors) and shall authorize the Independent Committees to
negotiate with each other in good faith with respect to (a) the Distribution
Employees, (b) a lease arrangement for the office space of Entertainment
utilized by SFX and (c) any other matters which the Boards deem necessary to
effectuate the separation of the respective affairs of SFX and Entertainment.

                                   ARTICLE 5

                  SURVIVAL; MUTUAL RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION

         SECTION 5.1 Survival and Indemnification.

         (a) Except as specifically provided herein to the contrary, all
covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall
survive the Distribution Date.

         (b) Except as specifically provided herein, the indemnification
provisions of this Article 5 shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Distribution Date; provided,
however, that such provisions shall survive thereafter as to any claims for
indemnification asserted prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the
Distribution Date. Such termination shall in no way limit the obligations of
Entertainment with respect to the Assumed Liabilities or the obligations of SFX
with respect to the Retained Liabilities and related indemnification rights
under this Agreement, which shall survive indefinitely.

         (c) The obligations of Entertainment and SFX under this Article 5
shall survive the sale or other transfer by either of them of any assets or
businesses or the assignment by either of them of any Liabilities. To the
extent that SFX assigns any of its Retained Liabilities (except for such
amounts of Retained Liabilities which are not material individually or in the
aggregate), SFX shall cause such transferee of such Retained Liabilities to
assume specifically its obligations with respect thereto under this Agreement
and to fulfill its obligations related to such Retained Liabilities. To the
extent Entertainment transfers to another party other than a Subsidiary of
Entertainment any of the Assumed Liabilities (except for such amounts of
Assumed Liabilities which are not material individually or in the aggregate),
Entertainment shall cause the transferee of such Assumed Liabilities to assume
specifically its obligations with respect thereto under this Agreement and to
fulfill its obligations related to such Assumed Liabilities. In the event the
transferee of the Retained Liabilities or Assumed Liabilities does not fulfill
its obligations with respect thereto, SFX and Entertainment, respectively,
shall fulfill their obligations with respect thereto.

         SECTION 5.2 Mutual Release, Etc.

         (a) Effective on the Distribution Date, and except for Claims arising
from or attributable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, this Agreement, the Related Agreements or Claims otherwise asserted
prior to the Effective Time, SFX does hereby, for itself and its Subsidiaries
(other than the Delsener/Slater Group), and anyone claiming through SFX or its
Subsidiaries, remise, release

                                      12
<PAGE>

and forever discharge the Delsener/Slater Group, their respective Affiliates
(other than SFX and its Subsidiaries), successors and assigns, the Executive
Group (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and all Persons who at any time
prior to the Distribution Date have been shareholders, directors or agents or
employees of any member of the Delsener/Slater Group (in each case, in their
respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Claims whatsoever,
whether in law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether
arising under any contract or arrangement, by operation of law or otherwise,
existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or
alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing
or alleged to have existed on or before the Distribution Date.

         (b) Effective on the Distribution Date, and except for Claims arising
from or attributable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, this Agreement, the Related Agreements or Claims otherwise asserted
prior to the Effective Time, Entertainment does hereby, for itself and its
Subsidiaries, and anyone claiming through Entertainment or its Subsidiaries,
remise, release and forever discharge SFX, their respective Affiliates (other
than the Delsener/Slater Group), successors and assigns and all Persons who at
any time prior to the Distribution Date have been shareholders, directors or
agents or employees of any member of the SFX and its Subsidiaries (in each
case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Claims
whatsoever, whether in law or in equity (including any right of contribution),
whether arising under any contract or arrangement, by operation of law or
otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to
occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions
existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Distribution Date.

         SECTION 5.3 Indemnification.

         (a) SFX shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Delsener/Slater
Group from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses (other than income tax
liabilities) to which the Delsener/Slater Group may be or become subject that
(i) relate to the Retained Liabilities, assets, business, operations, debts or
Liabilities of SFX or its Subsidiaries (other than the Delsener/Slater Group)
whether arising prior to, concurrent with or after the Distribution or (ii)
result from a breach by SFX or its Subsidiaries (other than the Delsener/Slater
Group) of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement
or any Related Agreement. The rights of the directors, officers and employees
of the Delsener/Slater Group to seek indemnity from SFX shall continue to be
governed by the Merger Agreement or any other existing agreement addressing
such matter.

         (b) Entertainment shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SFX and
its Subsidiaries (other than the Delsener/Slater Group) from and against any
and all Indemnifiable Losses (other than income tax liabilities) to which SFX
or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Delsener/Slater Group) may be or
become subject that (i) relate to the Transferred Businesses, Transferred
Assets, assets, business, operations, debts or Liabilities of the
Delsener/Slater Group, including, without limitation, Liabilities arising under
the Guarantees and Liabilities to be assumed by any member of the
Delsener/Slater Group as contemplated herein, whether arising prior to,
concurrent with or after the Distribution or (ii) result from a breach by a
member of the Delsener/Slater Group of any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

         (c) The amount which any party (an "Indemnifying Party") is required
to pay to any other party (an "Indemnitee") pursuant to Section 5.3(a) or
Section 5.3(b) shall be reduced (including,

                                      13
<PAGE>

without limitation, retroactively) by any insurance proceeds and other amounts
actually recovered by such Indemnitee in reduction of the related Indemnifiable
Loss. Amounts required to be paid are hereafter sometimes collectively called
"Indemnity Payments" and are individually called an "Indemnity Payment." If an
Indemnitee shall have received an Indemnity Payment in respect of an
Indemnifiable Loss and shall subsequently actually receive insurance proceeds
or other amounts in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, then such Indemnitee
shall pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the lesser of the amount of
such insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received or the net amount of
Indemnity Payments actually received previously. The Indemnitee agrees that the
Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such Indemnitee under any insurance
policy and that the Indemnitee shall not waive any right of subrogation.

         SECTION 5.4 Procedure for Indemnification.

         (a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice of the assertion by a person
who is not a party to this Agreement of any claim or of the commencement by any
such person of any Action (a "Third Party Claim") with respect to which an
Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated to make an Indemnity Payment, such
Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party prompt notice thereof after
becoming aware of such Third Party Claim, specifying in reasonable detail the
nature of such Third Party Claim and the amount or estimated amount thereof to
the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final
amount of such claim); provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnitee to
give notice as provided in this Section 5.4 shall not relieve the related
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 5, except to the
extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to
give notice.

         (b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend, at such Indemnifying
Party's own expense and by such Indemnifying Party's own counsel (which counsel
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee), any Third Party Claim. If
an Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third Party Claim, it shall, within 10
days of notice of such Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of such
Third Party Claim so requires), notify the related Indemnitee of its intent to
do so, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense of such Third Party
Claim. Such Indemnifying Party shall pay such Indemnitee's actual out-of-pocket
expenses (other than officers' or employees' salaries) reasonably incurred in
connection with such cooperation. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an
Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Article 5
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in
connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that such Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent such Indemnitee
if, in such Indemnitee's reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between
such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim,
and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel
shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. Except as so provided, if an
Indemnitee desires to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim, it may
do so but it shall not control the defense and such participation shall be at
its sole cost and expense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to defend
against a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election
as provided in this Section 5.4, such Indemnitee may defend, compromise and
settle such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no such Indemnitee may
compromise or settle any such Third Party Claim without prior written notice to
such Indemnifying Party and except by payment of monetary damages or other
money payments. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any compromise or settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnitee of a release from all Liability in respect to such Third Party
claim.

         (c) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the
Indemnitee shall make

                                      14
<PAGE>

available to such Indemnifying Party any personnel or any books, records or
other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such
defense (the cost of copying thereof to be paid by the Indemnifying Party).

         (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.4,
there may be Third Party Claims which reasonably could result in both SFX and
Entertainment being liable to the other under indemnification provisions of
this Agreement. In any such events, the parties shall endeavor, acting
reasonably and in good faith, to agree upon a manner of conducting the defense
of or settlement of the Third Party Claim with a view to minimizing the legal
expenses and associated costs that might otherwise be incurred by the parties,
including to the use of the same legal counsel for the defense of such claim.

         (e) Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Section
5.4, the indemnification provided for by this Section 5.4 shall not inure to
the benefit of any third party or parties and shall not relieve any insurer who
would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim of the responsibility with
respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof,
provided any subrogation rights with respect thereto.

         (f) Any claim on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not
result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by
the related Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying
Party shall have a period of 60 days within which to respond thereto. If such
Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 60-day period, such
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make
payment and shall have no further right to contest the validity of such claim.
If such Indemnifying Party does respond within such 60-day period and rejects
such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue the
remedies provided in Article 11 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE 6

                               RELATED AGREEMENTS

         SECTION 6.1 Tax Sharing Agreement. Except as contemplated in this
Section 6.1 hereof, any tax sharing agreement between any of the
Delsener/Slater Group and any of SFX and its Subsidiaries shall be terminated
as of the Distribution Date and will have no further effect for any taxable
year (whether the current year, a future year, or a past year). On or prior to
the Distribution Date, SFX and the Delsener/Slater Group shall enter into a Tax
Sharing Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Tax Sharing
Agreement").

         SECTION 6.2 Employee Benefits Agreement. On or prior to the
Distribution Date, SFX and the Delsener/Slater Group shall enter into an
Employee Benefits and Compensation Allocation Agreement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B (the "Employee Benefits Agreement").

                                   ARTICLE 7

                           CERTAIN ADDITIONAL MATTERS

         SECTION 7.1 Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection
with the transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery of the Transferred
Assets and the assumption of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, SFX
and Entertainment agree to execute or cause to be executed by the appropriate
parties and to deliver to each other, as appropriate, the Conveyancing and
Assumption Instruments.

         SECTION 7.2 No Representations or Warranties. Entertainment
understands and agrees that SFX is not, in this Agreement or in any other
agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall SFX be deemed
or implied to be, representing or warranting in any way as to the value or
freedom from encumbrance of, or any other matter concerning, any Transferred
Assets or the Transferred Businesses or as to the legal sufficiency to convey
title to any Transferred Assets of the execution, delivery and filing of the
Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, IT BEING AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT
ALL SUCH ASSETS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED "AS IS, WHERE IS" and that Entertainment
shall bear the economic and legal risk that any conveyances of such assets
shall prove to be insufficient or that Entertainment's title to any such assets
shall be other than good and marketable and free from encumbrances.

         SECTION 7.3 Further Assurances; Subsequent Transfers.

         (a) Each of SFX and Entertainment will execute and deliver such
further instruments of conveyance, transfer and assignment and will take such
other actions as each of them may reasonably request of the other in order to
effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to carry out the terms hereof.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time and from time to
time after the Distribution Date, at the request of Entertainment, SFX will
execute and deliver to Entertainment such other instruments of transfer,
conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such action as Entertainment
may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to more effectively
transfer, convey and assign to Entertainment and to confirm Entertainment's
title to all of the Transferred Assets, to put Entertainment in actual
possession and operating control thereof and to permit Entertainment to
exercise all rights with respect thereto (including, without limitation, rights
under contracts and other arrangements as to which the consent of any third
party to the transfer thereof shall not have previously been obtained). SFX
will take such actions as Entertainment may reasonably request in order to
prepare and implement appropriate plans, agreements and arrangements for the
Employees, and Entertainment will execute and deliver to SFX all instruments,
undertakings or other documents and take such other action as SFX may
reasonably request in order to have Entertainment properly assume and discharge
the Assumed Liabilities and relieve SFX of any Liability or obligations with
respect thereto and evidence the same to third parties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, SFX and Entertainment shall not be obligated, in connection with the
foregoing, to expend monies other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and
attorneys' fees (which expenses and fees shall be reimbursed by the requesting
party).

         (b) SFX and Entertainment will use their commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain any consent required to assign all agreements, leases,
permits, licenses and other rights of any nature whatsoever relating to the
Transferred Assets to Entertainment; provided, however, that SFX shall not be
obligated to pay any consideration therefor (except as provided in Section 2.2
and except for filing fees and other administrative charges) to the third party
from whom such consents, approvals and amendments are

                                      16
<PAGE>

requested. In the event, and to the extent, that SFX is unable to obtain any
such required consent, SFX shall continue to be bound thereby and, unless not
permitted by law or the terms thereof, Entertainment shall pay, perform and
discharge fully all the obligations of SFX thereunder from and after the
Distribution Date and indemnify SFX for all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of
such performance by Entertainment in accordance with Article 5. SFX shall,
without further consideration therefor, pay, assign and remit to Entertainment
promptly all monies, rights and other considerations received in respect of
such performance. SFX shall exercise or exploit its rights and options under
all such agreements, leases, licenses and other rights and commitments referred
to in this Section 7.3(b) only as reasonably directed by Entertainment and at
Entertainment's expense. If and when any such consent shall be obtained or such
agreement, lease, license or other right shall otherwise become assignable or
able to be novated, SFX shall promptly assign and novate all its rights and
obligations thereunder to Entertainment without payment of further
consideration, and Entertainment shall, without the payment of any further
consideration therefore, assume such rights and obligations.

         SECTION 7.4 Sales and Transfer Taxes. Entertainment and SFX agree to
cooperate to determine the amount of sales, transfer or other taxes or fees
(including, without limitation, all real estate, patent, copyright and
trademark transfer taxes and recording fees) payable in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Transaction Taxes"). SFX
agrees to file promptly and timely the returns for such Transaction Taxes with
the appropriate taxing authorities and remit payment of the Transaction Taxes,
and Entertainment will join in the execution of any such tax returns or other
documentation.

         SECTION 7.5 Change of Name. Within 10 business days after the
consummation of the Merger, SFX and each of its Subsidiaries, if necessary,
shall file certificates of amendment with the appropriate Secretary of State,
amending such company's certificate of incorporation to change the name of such
Company to any name which does not include the letters "SFX." At the closing of
the Merger, SFX will assign to Entertainment or its designee all right, title
and interest, including all the good will related thereto, in and to the name
"SFX," together with all causes of action and the right to recover for past
infringements of the name "SFX." As soon as commercially practicable, but in no
event later than six months from the consummation of the Merger, SFX shall
cease all use of the name "SFX" or other trademarks, trade names or their
identifiers owned by, licensed to, or transferred pursuant to this Agreement
to, Entertainment in all modes.

                                   ARTICLE 8

                       ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND SERVICES

         SECTION 8.1 Provision of Corporate Records. As soon as practicable
after the Distribution Date, SFX shall deliver to Entertainment all Books and
Records in its possession. Such Books and Records shall be the property of
Entertainment from and after the Distribution Date, but shall be retained and
made available to SFX for review and duplication until the earlier of notice
from SFX that such records are no longer needed by SFX or the 20th anniversary
of the Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of retaining
any specific Books and Records, Entertainment may offer in writing to deliver
such Books and Records to SFX and, if such offer is not accepted within 90
days, the offered Books and Records may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of
at any time. If SFX shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date

                                      17
<PAGE>

for such destruction or disposal that any of the Books and Records proposed to
be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to SFX, Entertainment shall promptly
arrange for delivery of such of the Books and Records as was requested (at the
cost and expense of SFX).

         SECTION 8.2 Access to Information. From and after the Distribution
Date, SFX and Entertainment shall afford to each other, and to each other's
authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives,
reasonable access and duplicating rights (with copying costs to be borne by the
requesting party) during normal business hours to all Books and Records and
other data and information (collectively, "Information") within each other's
possession relating to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred Businesses and
the Employees, insofar as such access is reasonably required by SFX or
Entertainment, as the case may be (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause
persons or firms possessing relevant Information to give similar access).
Information may be requested under this Article 8 for, without limitation,
audit, accounting, claims, litigation and tax purposes, as well as for purposes
of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations.

longer period by law or agreed to in writing, SFX and Entertainment shall
retain, for a period of at least 20 years following the Distribution Date, all
material Information relating to the Transferred Businesses. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in lieu of retaining any specific Information, SFX or
Entertainment may offer in writing to deliver such Information to the other
and, if such offer is not accepted within 90 days, the offered Information may
be destroyed or otherwise disposed of at any time. If a recipient of such offer
shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or

requirements of law (including, without limitation, any requirements imposed
under state and federal securities laws and stock exchange rules), all
non-public Information concerning the other party furnished it by such other
party or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent
that such Information can be shown to have been (i) available to such party on
a non-confidential basis prior to this disclosure by the other party, (ii) in
the public domain through no fault of such party or (iii) later lawfully
acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished), and each
party shall not release or disclose such Information to any other person,
except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other
consultants and advisors who shall be bound by the provisions of this Section
8.4. Each party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold
confidential Information concerning or supplied by the other party if it
exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own
similar Information. SFX and Entertainment agree with each other that each will
maintain, preserve and assert, unless waived in writing by the other, all
attorney-client and work product privileges applicable to documents and other
Information that relate, directly or indirectly, to the Transferred Businesses
for any period prior to the Distribution Date.

         SECTION 8.5 Privileged Matters. Anything herein or in the Merger
Agreement notwithstanding, the transactions contemplated hereby and by the

waive, nor shall they be deemed to waive, any attorney-client privilege between
SFX and its legal counsel with respect to legal advice concerning the business
or operations of Entertainment, including, without limitation, the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, this Agreement and

assign to Entertainment SFX's rights (if any) to any attorney-client privilege
with respect to legal advice concerning the business or operations of
Entertainment including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement, this Agreement and the Related Agreements, concerning
privileged communications (or work product related thereto) at any time prior
to the Closing Date. Except as otherwise determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, SFX and its successors and assigns shall not be entitled to waive
or have access to, nor shall they attempt to waive or seek access to, any
privileged communications (or work product related thereto) between
Entertainment and its legal counsel with respect to legal advice concerning the
business or operations of Entertainment.

                                   INSURANCE

         SECTION 9.1 General. SFX shall keep in effect all policies under its
Insurance Program in effect as of the date hereof insuring the Transferred
Assets and operations of the Transferred Businesses until the earlier of (i)
the Effective Time and (ii) 12:00 midnight on the Distribution Date, unless
Entertainment shall have earlier obtained appropriate coverage and notified SFX
in writing to that effect. Insofar as any claims made or accrued under policies
under the Insurance Program prior to the Distribution Date relate to
Entertainment or the Transferred Businesses, SFX shall use its reasonable
efforts to assure that Entertainment can continue to make and/or pursue such
claims under the policies, or that SFX can continue to make and/or pursue such
claims on behalf of Entertainment, notwithstanding assignment or transfer of
the policies (provided that Entertainment shall reimburse SFX for any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by SFX in connection therewith).
From and after the Distribution Date, Entertainment shall be responsible for
obtaining and maintaining insurance coverage for its own account. SFX shall, if
so requested by Entertainment, use reasonable efforts to assist Entertainment
in obtaining such initial insurance coverage from and after the Distribution
Date in such amounts as are agreed upon by SFX and Entertainment. Following the
Distribution Date, each of SFX and Entertainment shall cooperate with and
assist the other party in the prevention of conflicts or gaps in insurance
coverage and/or collection proceeds.

         SECTION 9.2 Certain Insured Claims. SFX shall use its reasonable
efforts to assert and pursue, for the benefit of Entertainment, claims against
the Insurance Program for any losses resulting, directly or indirectly, from
claims made or deemed made under the applicable Insurance Program which relate
to the Transferred Businesses and which arise from or relate to events or
occurrences prior to the Distribution Date. Entertainment shall pay all costs
incurred by SFX after the Distribution Date in defending or pursuing any such
claims under an insurance policy relating to the Transferred Businesses,
including the salaries of employees based on the portion of time spent on such
claims. Entertainment shall make available to SFX such of its employees as SFX
may reasonably request as witnesses or deponents in connection with SFX's
defense or pursuit of any such claims, at Entertainment's sole cost and
expense.

                             FILING OF TAX RETURNS

         SECTION 2.01. PRE-DISTRIBUTION TAX RETURNS.

         (a) SFX shall file all consolidated Federal Income Tax returns (and

each member of the SFX Affiliated Group that are required to be filed for
periods beginning before (or beginning and ending on) the Distribution Date and
shall pay all Taxes attributable to these periods, including any deferred
income triggered into income under Treas. Reg. ss. 1.1502-13 and Treas. Reg.
ss. 1.1502-14 and any excess loss accounts taken into income under Treas. Reg.
ss. 1.1502-19. Entertainment acknowledges that Treas. Reg. ss. 1.1502-77(a)
confers certain authority on SFX, as the common parent of the SFX Affiliated
Group, with respect to Federal Income Tax matters for all taxable periods
beginning before the day

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

following the Distribution Date and agrees to enter into any election or
consent reasonably requested by SFX with respect to such matters for such
taxable years. Entertainment agrees (on behalf of itself and members of the
Entertainment Group) (i) not to make any election to exclude any member of the
Entertainment Group from the SFX consolidated Federal Income Tax return (or any
comparable state or local combined or consolidated return) for taxable periods
beginning before (or beginning and ending on) the Distribution Date and (ii)
not to take, advocate or fail to oppose any position relating to the tax
treatment of any transaction occurring prior to the Distribution Date which is
inconsistent with the manner in which such transaction was treated on the
consolidated return of the SFX Affiliated Group for the taxable periods during
which members of the Entertainment Group were members of the SFX Affiliated
Group. SFX agrees not to take, advocate or fail to oppose any position relating
to the tax treatment of any transaction occurring prior to the Distribution
which is inconsistent with the manner in which such transaction was treated on
the consolidated return of the SFX Affiliated Group for the taxable periods
during which members of the Entertainment Group were members of the SFX
Affiliated Group, except for any such actions requested by Entertainment.

         (b) SFX shall be responsible for filing all returns relating to
members of the SFX Group with respect to Other Taxes and with respect to any
Income Taxes as to which consolidated, unitary or combined returns are not made
for a period beginning before (or beginning and ending on) the Distribution
Date. Entertainment shall be responsible for filing all returns relating to
members of the Entertainment Group with respect to Other Taxes and with respect
to any Income Taxes as to which consolidated, unitary or combined returns are
not made for a period beginning before (or beginning and ending on) the
Distribution Date.

         SECTION 2.02. POST-DISTRIBUTION TAX RETURNS. For taxable periods
beginning after the Distribution Date: (i) SFX shall be responsible for filing
tax returns relating to members of the SFX Group; and (ii) Entertainment shall
be responsible for filing tax returns relating to members of the Entertainment
Group.

                                  ARTICLE III
                                PAYMENT OF TAXES

         SECTION 3.01. PRE-DISTRIBUTION CONSOLIDATED INCOME TAXES AND CERTAIN
OTHER TAXES.

         (a) So as to enable the SFX Affiliated Group to prepare accurately and
completely the consolidated returns which include the Income Tax liability of
members of the Entertainment Group and in order to provide for accurate
financial reporting for tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the
Distribution Date, Entertainment shall prepare and submit to SFX, no later than
180 days after the end of each such tax period or portion thereof (or such
later date as consented to by SFX, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), complete draft Federal Income Tax returns reflecting the Tax Items
of the members of the Entertainment Group for each such tax period or portion
thereof, modified as provided in the following sentence and provide such other
information with respect to Income Taxes (or Other Taxes, the returns for which
are filed on a unitary, combined or consolidated basis) as SFX may reasonably
request. Income Taxes shall be calculated (i) using, to the extent permitted by
law, such methods, conventions and principles of taxation and making

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

such elections as are consistent with the methods, conventions, principles and
elections previously used by the SFX Affiliated Group or such member of the
Entertainment Group in preparing prior Income Tax returns; and (ii) for the
taxable period which ends on the Distribution Date, by apportioning Tax Items
based upon an interim closing of the books of the Entertainment Group as of the
end of the Distribution Date. Entertainment agrees not to make a ratable
allocation election under Treas. Reg. ss. 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D). Entertainment
shall bear all costs and expenses of preparation and submission of such
information, including accountants' and attorneys' fees.

         (b) For taxable periods in which the Entertainment Group is included
in the SFX Affiliated Group, Entertainment shall pay to SFX an amount equal to
the Income Tax liability of the Entertainment Group (and any liability of the
Entertainment Group for Other Taxes the returns for which are filed on a
unitary, combined or consolidated basis), as determined on a separate company
basis; but only to the extent such separate Income Tax Liability of the
Entertainment Group (or separate Other Tax liability of the Entertainment
Group) is not included in the computation of working capital under Section
5.07(i) of the Merger Agreement. In addition, Entertainment shall not be
obligated to SFX under the preceding sentence to the extent the SFX Affiliated
Group's Income Tax Liability for the tax period including the Distribution Date
is less than the Income Tax Liability of the Entertainment Group for the tax
period of the Entertainment Group ending on the Distribution Date as result of
a net operating losses of the SFX Group.

         SECTION 3.02. RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAX ADJUSTMENTS.

         (a) Entertainment shall pay, reimburse and indemnify SFX as common
parent of the SFX Affiliated Group for any Pre-Distribution Tax Liabilities
arising from an Adjustment with respect to a Tax Item of a member of the
Entertainment Group; and

         (b) SFX shall pay, reimburse and indemnify Entertainment as common
parent of the Entertainment Affiliated Group for:

                   (i) any Tax Benefit derived by the SFX Group from an
         Adjustment with respect to a Tax Item of a member of the Entertainment
         Group; and

                   (ii) any Tax Detriment suffered by any member of the
         Entertainment Group from an Adjustment with respect to a Tax Item of a
         member of the SFX Group.

         SECTION 3.03. NON-CONSOLIDATED OTHER TAXES AND INCOME TAXES. Unless
otherwise provided in this Agreement, the SFX Group shall pay all Other Taxes
and any Income Taxes as to which consolidated, unitary or combined returns are
not made (and shall be entitled to receive and retain all refunds of such
Taxes) that are attributable to members of the SFX Group. Unless otherwise
provided in this Agreement, the Entertainment Group shall pay all Other Taxes
and any Income Taxes as to which consolidated, unitary or combined returns are
not made (and shall be entitled to receive and retain all refunds of such
Taxes) which are attributable to members of the Entertainment Group.

         SECTION 3.04. CARRYBACKS.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

         (a) To the extent that any carryback period for a Carryback Item would
include any taxable period beginning before the day following the Distribution
Date, Entertainment agrees to elect (under section 172(b)(3) of the Code and,
to the extent feasible, any similar provision of any applicable state or local
Income Tax law) to relinquish such carryback period as to any Carryback Item
which could thereby be used to create or carry forward a Tax Benefit for the
SFX Group (in which event no payment shall be due from SFX to Entertainment in
respect of such Carryback Item). SFX shall not elect to retain any net
operating loss carryovers or capital loss carryovers of the Entertainment
Group.

         (b) If, notwithstanding the foregoing, for any taxable period ending
after the Distribution Date, a Carryback Item is incurred, then SFX shall pay
to Entertainment an amount equal to the Tax Benefit (adjusted as provided in
the next sentence) obtained by the SFX Affiliated Group in any taxable year as
a direct consequence of the Carryback Item. In determining the Tax Benefit
obtained by SFX with respect to a taxable year, if, in addition to the
Entertainment Group Carryback Items, there are also any Tax Items or Carryback
Items generated by the SFX Group which are properly taken into account in
determining the Income Tax liability of the SFX Affiliated Group for such
taxable year, SFX shall be credited with a pro rata portion of any resulting
Tax Benefit; the amount of such Tax Benefit to be paid to Entertainment shall
be reduced by the present value (determined at the then applicable short-term
Federal rate under the Code) of any future Tax Detriment that may be suffered
by any member of the SFX Group as a consequence of such Entertainment Group
Carryback Item. Entertainment agrees to indemnify and hold the SFX Group
harmless from any Taxes resulting from the disallowance of a Tax Benefit which
previously resulted in a payment from SFX to Entertainment under this Section
3.04(b).

         (c) SFX shall cooperate fully in obtaining the Tax Benefit
attributable to any Carryback Item, but any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by SFX that are directly attributable to such efforts shall be borne
by Entertainment. In lieu of such cooperation, SFX may elect to pay to
Entertainment the Tax Benefit which would have been payable under this section
if such Carryback Item were allowed.

         (d) Any refund of Tax (including any interest thereon) attributable to
the SFX Affiliated Group for any period beginning before (or beginning and
ending on) the Distribution Date shall be the property of SFX and any refund of
Tax (including any interest thereon) attributable to the Entertainment Group
for the period beginning before (or beginning and ending on) the Distribution
Date shall be the property of Entertainment.

         SECTION 3.05. RESPONSIBILITY FOR DISTRIBUTION TAXES. Subject to
Section 4.01, Entertainment and any successor corporation shall be responsible
for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless SFX and each member of the SFX Group
from Income Taxes, Other Taxes and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses arising out of, based upon or attributable to the Distribution, but,
in the case of Income Taxes, only to the extent such Income Taxes are based
upon any gain recognized by the SFX Group as a result of the Distribution in
excess of the net operating losses of the SFX Affiliated Group that are
available to offset such gain in the tax period including the Distribution
(without regard to subsequent tax years). SFX agrees to consult in good faith
with Entertainment regarding the amount of gain, if any, recognized by SFX as a
result of the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Distribution.

         SECTION 3.06. PAYMENT. If SFX is required to make a payment to a
member of the Entertainment Group under this Agreement, such payment shall be
made to Entertainment or any successor corporation as the parent of the
Entertainment Affiliated Group, and any payment due under this Agreement from
any member of the Entertainment Group to SFX shall be made by Entertainment to
SFX or any successor corporation as common parent of the SFX Group. The payment
shall be made by the earlier of (i) 20 days after SFX (or a member of the
Entertainment Group, as applicable) (x) receives a refund (including, without
limitation, a refund in the form of a credit against tax liability) or realizes
a reduction in its tax liability (including, without limitation, estimated
Taxes) or (y) makes a tax payment (including, without limitation, any payment
made in connection with either an estimated or annual tax liability), (ii) 20
days after a Final Determination with respect to such tax or (iii) 20 days
after the determination by the parties or pursuant to Article V that such
payment is due. The amount of any payment required to be made by any party to
another under this Agreement shall be an amount which, after subtraction of any
additional federal, state or local Taxes payable by the recipient in respect of
the receipt of such payment, is equal to the amount payable hereunder. SFX and
Entertainment agree that, without limiting the ultimate payment obligation of
the payor set forth in the preceding sentence, to the extent there is
substantial authority (within the meaning of section 6662 of the Code) for such
position or such position is otherwise permissible under applicable law, any
payment shall be reported as non-deductible and non-taxable.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                    COOPERATION AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

         SECTION 4.01. MATTERS GIVING RISE TO INDEMNITY.

         (a) NOTICE. If any tax authority shall propose an Adjustment to the
tax liability of either Entertainment or SFX ("Indemnified Party") which would
result, if such Adjustment were to be confirmed by a Final Determination, in a
loss against which the other party ("Indemnifying Party") may be required to
indemnify Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, Indemnified Party shall
promptly notify Indemnifying Party thereof in writing. Such notice to
Indemnifying Party shall include sufficient information with respect to the
issues as to which indemnity may be sought to enable Indemnifying Party to
determine whether to request Indemnified Party to contest the Adjustment.

         (b) CONDUCT OF EXAMINATIONS. Indemnified Party shall keep Indemnifying
Party informed as to the status and progress of all matters materially related
to any issue that arises on the audit of Indemnified Party's tax returns that
could give rise to an obligation of Indemnifying Party to make payments to
Indemnified Party hereunder. Indemnified Party shall discuss with
representatives of Indemnifying Party the course and conduct of all material
matters that are the subject of this Agreement and shall permit such
representatives to participate in discussions with such tax authorities.
Indemnified Party will consider in good faith written proposals in connection

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

with contesting such Adjustment that Indemnifying Party shall submit to it from
time to time, provided that Indemnified Party shall control the nature of all
action to be taken to contest such Adjustment.

         (c) CONTEST RIGHTS AND CONDITIONS. Upon receipt of any formal notice
from the IRS (including, without limitation, a 30-day letter) or any other tax
authority proposing an Adjustment which could impose liability on Indemnifying
Party hereunder, Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to
Indemnifying Party, and Indemnified Party will contest such Adjustment if
Indemnifying Party shall so request in writing within 20 days of Indemnifying
Party's receipt of such notice from Indemnified Party. In no event, however,
shall Indemnified Party be required to contest any Adjustment unless coincident
with Indemnifying Party's request (A) Indemnified Party shall have received (i)
an indemnity from Indemnifying Party for any Income Taxes, Other Taxes and all
other liability, expense or loss arising out of or relating to the Indemnifying
Party's issues involved in the contest or claim (including, without limitation,
all out-of pocket expenses, costs, reasonable legal, accounting, engineers' and
other professional fees and disbursements, but excluding any independent
expense incurred by Indemnified Party for the purpose of monitoring the
progress of the issue) and (ii) an opinion of independent tax counsel to
Indemnifying Party (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Indemnified
Party) to the effect that a reasonable basis exists for contesting the
Adjustment to the extent that the contest involves such issues; and (B) if such
contest is to be conducted in a manner requiring payment of a proposed tax
deficiency, Indemnifying Party shall have advanced to Indemnified Party, on an
interest-free basis, an amount sufficient to make payment of the proposed tax
deficiency attributable to the Adjustment, together with any required interest
or penalties in respect of such proposed tax deficiency. If any funds are
advanced by Indemnifying Party in connection with any tax contest, any refund
received to the extent fairly attributable to such advance shall be returned to
Indemnifying Party, together with any interest thereon paid by the relevant
taxing authority, promptly upon Indemnified Party's receipt of such funds. If
Indemnifying Party shall have requested Indemnified Party to contest an
Adjustment and complied with each of the terms and conditions set forth above,
such contest shall be conducted by independent tax counsel selected by
Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to Indemnified Party.

         (d) SETTLEMENT; RELEASE OF INDEMNIFICATION. If Indemnifying Party
shall have requested Indemnified Party to contest an Adjustment and complied
with each of the terms and conditions set forth above, Indemnified Party shall
not settle or compromise any Adjustment for which indemnity is sought hereunder
without the written consent of Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) unless it simultaneously releases Indemnifying Party
from its obligations to indemnify and reimburse Indemnified Party with respect
to the issues so settled or compromised, and in the event that Indemnified
Party concludes such a settlement or compromise without Indemnifying Party's
written consent, Indemnifying Party shall be deemed conclusively to have been
so released. If Indemnifying Party shall fail to request Indemnified Party to
contest any Adjustment or shall fail to comply with the terms and conditions
entitling it to make such request as set forth in subparagraph (c), Indemnified
Party may in its sole discretion elect to contest (or not contest) such
Adjustment with counsel selected by it and may at any time settle or compromise
the matter without the consent of Indemnifying Party and without releasing its
rights to indemnity from Indemnifying Party. If Indemnifying Party shall be
willing to accept any settlement proposed by any taxing

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

authority with respect to an issue as to which Indemnifying Party has an
indemnity obligation hereunder, but Indemnified Party refuses to approve such
settlement, Indemnifying Party's obligation to indemnify Indemnified Party with
respect to such issue shall thereafter be limited in amount to the amount
Indemnifying Party would have been required to pay pursuant to such settlement.

         SECTION 4.02. TAX RETURN INFORMATION. Without limiting Section 4.01
hereof, SFX and Entertainment agree to cooperate fully with each other in
connection with the preparation of any tax return or claim for refund or in
conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes for all open

such case at the expense of the requesting party or the party whose Taxes are

the Entertainment Group, as the case may be, in supplying a member of the other
group with inaccurate or incomplete information.

all records which may contain information or provide evidence relevant to the
determination of the Income Tax liability of the SFX Affiliated Group or the
Entertainment Affiliated Group or the shareholders of either for any taxable
period until such time as a Final Determination occurs with respect to such
taxable period, provided, however, that such records need not be retained
longer than 20 years after the end of the latest taxable period to which they
relate so long as such records are offered to the other party before they are
destroyed by the party that possesses them.

that SFX or Entertainment considers appropriate or necessary with respect to
any of the aforementioned submissions or filings, implementing all appropriate
communications with partici pants, maintaining and transferring appropriate
records, notifying the other party of any Internal Revenue Service, Department
of Labor or other governmental entity examinations or other actions with

necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions of this Section 2.1 and to
cause the transfers pursuant to Section 2.1(a) to take place as soon as
practicable after the date or dates described in Section 2.1(a).

         SECTION 2.2 WELFARE PLANS.

         (a) SFX and Entertainment shall take all actions necessary or
appropriate so that, as of the later of the Effective Time or June 1, 1998, all
members of the Delsener/Slater Group shall cease to be participating employers
and sponsors of the SFX Welfare Plans. The SFX Group shall have sole
responsibility for retaining and discharging: (1) all Liabilities and Adverse
Consequences relating to or arising out of the SFX Welfare Plans by or in
respect of Entertainment Participants who are not Distribution Employees or
Beneficiaries of Distribution Employees with respect to claims incurred on or
prior to the later of the Distribution Date or the date all members of the
Delsener/Slater Group cease to be participating employers and sponsors of the
relevant SFX Welfare Plan (which date shall not be later than the later of the
Effective Time or June 1, 1998), provided such claims are filed or submitted
within the time period required under the SFX Welfare Plan; (2) all Liabilities
and Adverse Consequences relating to or arising out of the SFX Welfare Plans by
or in respect of Entertainment Participants who are Distribution Employees or
Beneficiaries of Distribution Employees with respect to claims incurred on or
prior to the later of the Effective Time or the date all members of the
Delsener/Slater Group cease to be participating employers and sponsors of the
relevant SFX Welfare Plan (which date shall not be later than the later of the
Effective Time or June 1, 1998), provided such claims are filed or submitted
within the time period required under the SFX Welfare Plan; and (3) all
Liabilities and Adverse Consequences relating to or arising out of the SFX
Welfare Plans by or in respect of individuals who are not Entertainment
Participants. Effective as of the Distribution Date, the Delsener/Slater Group
shall have no Liabilities and shall not be responsible for any Adverse
Consequences relating to or arising out of the SFX Welfare Plans except, to the
extent one or more of its members continues to be a participating employer or
sponsor of a SFX Welfare Plan, for the amounts described in Section 2.2(c). For
purposes of this Section 2.2, a claim shall be deemed incurred when the service
is rendered and not when an individual is formally billed or charged for the
service.

         (b) Except as specifically set forth in this Section 2.2,
Entertainment shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to establish
Entertainment Welfare Plans to provide such Welfare Plan benefits as
Entertainment determines necessary or appropriate, if any, to Entertainment
Participants. Entertainment shall have sole responsibility for retaining and
discharging all Liabilities and Adverse Consequences relating to or arising out
of the Entertainment Welfare Plans. Any Entertainment Welfare Plan established
on or shortly after the Effective Time to

                                     - 5 -

replace the primary self-funded medical and dental SFX Welfare Plan covering
the Entertainment Participants and their Beneficiaries as of the Effective Time
shall provide that all Entertainment Participants and their Beneficiaries who
are covered by such plan as of the Effective Time shall be initially eligible
to participate in such Entertainment Welfare Plan without being subject to any
waiting period to participate nor any limitation on pre-existing conditions.

         (c) Prior to the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, the
Delsener/Slater Group shall pay premiums and contributions with respect to the
coverage of Entertainment Participants and Beneficiaries of Entertainment
Participants under the SFX Welfare Plans in accordance with past practices and
procedures. With respect to the month in which the Distribution Date occurs and
any month thereafter (or portion thereof) that one or more members of the
Delsener/Slater Group is a participating employer or sponsor of a SFX Welfare
Plan, the Delsener/Slater Group shall retain the portion of the premiums and
contributions with respect to such SFX Welfare Plans that would have otherwise
been paid by the participants employed by the Delsener/Slater Group and their
covered Beneficiaries for such month (or portion thereof) and pay to SFX as
soon as practicable after such month either the following amounts or such other
amounts mutually agreeable to SFX, Entertainment and SBI Holding Corporation:
(i) with respect to a fully insured SFX Welfare Plan (i.e., the life,
supplemental life and long term disability insurance plan), the employer and
participant portions of the premiums for the coverage of the participants in
the fully insured SFX Welfare Plan who are employed by the Delsener/Slater
Group and their covered Beneficiaries for such month (or portion thereof); and
(ii) with respect to a SFX Welfare Plan that is not fully insured (i.e., the
partially self-funded medical and dental plan): the sum of (A) the fixed cost
(i.e., the amount charged by New York Life or any other third party
administrator each month for all of the SFX Welfare Plan's costs other than
claims, including but not limited to, costs related to stop loss coverage,
claims administration, and state and local governmental levies and taxes) for
those participants in the SFX Welfare Plan who are employed by the
Delsener/Slater Group and their covered Beneficiaries for such month (or
portion thereof), and (B) the amount of claims for which New York Life or any
other third party administrator charges SFX for such month (or portion thereof)
with respect to the participants employed by the Delsener/Slater Group and
their covered Beneficiaries which are filed or submitted within the time period
required under the SFX Welfare Plan and are not in excess of the amounts
covered by the stop loss coverage of the SFX Welfare Plan. Until the later of
the Effective Time or June 1, 1998, SFX shall maintain under its SFX Welfare
Plans that are not fully insured the same stop loss coverages as existed prior
to the Distribution Date with respect to the participants employed by the
Delsener/Slater Group and their covered Beneficiaries. Additionally, with
respect to a SFX Welfare Plan that is not fully insured (i.e., the partially
self-funded medical and dental plan), Entertainment shall pay SFX the amount
charged by New York Life or any other third party administrator for the run-off
claims of those participants in the SFX Welfare Plan who are employed by the
Delsener/Slater Group and their covered Beneficiaries (i.e., claims incurred
prior to the later of the Distribution Date or the date these individuals cease
to participate in the relevant SFX Welfare Plan -- which date shall be no later
than the later of the Effective Time or June 1, 1998 -- that are not otherwise
paid by Entertainment provided such claims are filed or submitted

                                     - 6 -

within the time period required under the SFX Welfare Plan and are not in
excess of the stop loss coverage of the SFX Welfare Plan).

                           ARTICLE FIVE: COMMON STOCK

         5.1 IDENTICAL RIGHTS. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided in
this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all shares of Common Stock shall be
identical and shall entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and
privileges.

         5.2 DIVIDENDS.

         (a) Subject to the prior rights and preferences, if any, applicable to
shares of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares of
Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends (payable in cash,
stock, or otherwise) as may be declared thereon by the Corporation's board of
directors (the "Board of Directors") at any time and from time to time out of
any funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, except that (i) if
dividends are declared that are payable in shares of Common Stock, then such
stock dividends shall be payable at the same rate on each class of Common Stock
and shall be payable only in shares of Class A Common Stock to holders of Class
A Common Stock and in shares of Class B Common Stock to holders of Class B
Common Stock and (ii) if dividends are declared that are payable in shares of
common stock of another corporation, then such shares may differ as to voting
rights to the extent that voting rights now differ among the Class A Common
Stock and the Class B Common Stock.

         (b) Dividends payable under this Paragraph 5.2 shall be paid to the
holders of record of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as their names
shall appear on the stock register of the Corporation on the record date fixed

dividend. Any shares of Common Stock issued as a dividend pursuant to this
Paragraph 5.2 shall, when so issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully

         (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no
dividends on shares of Common Stock shall be declared by the Board of Directors

declaration, payment, or setting apart is prohibited by applicable law.

         5.3 STOCK SPLITS. The Corporation shall not in any manner subdivide
(by any stock split, reclassification, stock dividend, recapitalization, or
otherwise) or combine the outstanding shares of one class of Common Stock
unless the outstanding shares of both classes of Common Stock shall be
proportionately subdivided or combined. This paragraph shall not, however,
apply to the reclassification and change of stock occurring upon the filing of
this Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware.



         5.4      VOTING RIGHTS.

                                      2

<PAGE>


         (a) The holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common
Stock shall vote as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the
stockholders, with each share of Class A Common Stock being entitled to one
vote and each share of Class B Common Stock being entitled to ten votes,
except:

         (i)      for the election of directors, which shall be governed by 
                  subparagraphs (b) and (c) below;

         (ii)     with respect to any Going Private Transaction (as such term 
                  is defined below) between the Corporation and Robert F.X.
                  Sillerman or any Affiliate of Mr. Sillerman, which shall be
                  governed by subparagraph (e) below; and

         (iii)    as otherwise provided by law.

As used in this Certificate of Incorporation, the term "Affiliate"means, as to
any person, any (i) other person that, directly or indirectly, is in control
of, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, (ii)
corporation or organization (other than the Corporation or a majority-owned
subsidiary of the Corporation) of which such person is an officer or partner or
is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of
voting securities, or in which such person has a substantial beneficial
interest, (iii) trust or other estate in which such person has a substantial
beneficial interest or as to which such person serves as a trustee or in a
similar fiduciary capacity, or (iv) relative or spouse of such person who has
the same home as such person.

         (b) In the election of directors, the holders of shares of Class A
Common Stock shall be entitled by class vote, exclusive of all other
stockholders, to elect that number of directors of the Corporation that equals
two sevenths (2/7) of the total number of duly authorized directorships of the
Corporation then constituting the Board of Directors (including vacant and
newly-created directorships) or, if such number of directors is not a whole
number, the next higher whole number with each share of Class A Common Stock
entitled to one vote; provided, however, that each director so elected must be
qualified at the time of such election to be an "Independent Director," which
is defined as a director of the Corporation who is not (i) an officer or
employee of the Corporation or a director, officer or employee of any of its
subsidiaries or any Affiliate of Mr. Sillerman or any individual who has been
employed in such capacity within the preceding three years, (ii) an Affiliate
of Mr. Sillerman, (iii) acting on a regular basis as an individual or
representative of an organization serving as a professional adviser, legal
counsel or consultant to management of the Corporation or its subsidiaries if,
in the opinion of the Board of Directors, such relationship is material to the
Corporation, the organization so represented, or such person, (iv) an
individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board of
Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in
carrying out the responsibilities of a director or (v) a member or a
representative of the immediate family of a person who, pursuant to clauses (i)
through (iv) above, is not qualified to serve as an Independent Director. The
holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled by class vote,
exclusive of all other stockholders, to vote on the removal of any director so
elected, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote.

         (c) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (b) above, the
holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting as a
single class, shall have the right to vote on the election or removal of all
directors of the Corporation (other than directors, if any, who may be elected
by the holders of Preferred Stock), with each share of Class A Common Stock
entitled to one vote and each

                                       3

<PAGE>



share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes. The holders of Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative votes in
the election of any directors.

         (d) In the event of the death, removal or resignation of a director
elected by the holders of Class A Common Stock (pursuant to subparagraph (b)
above) prior to the expiration of his term, the vacancy on the Board of
Directors created thereby may be filled by a majority of the directors then in
office, although less than a quorum, provided, however, that any person
appointed to fill a vacancy created by the death, removal or resignation of a
director elected by the holders of the Class A Common Stock (in accordance with
subparagraph (b) above) shall be an Independent Director. A director elected in
such manner to fill such vacancy shall hold office until his successor has been
duly elected and qualified at a meeting of the holders of Class A Common Stock
duly called for such purpose.

         (e) With respect to any Going Private Transaction between the
Corporation and Mr. Sillerman or an Affiliate of Mr. Sillerman, the holders of
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote as a single class,
with each share of Class A Common Stock and of Class B Common Stock entitled to
one vote. For purposes of this Paragraph 5.4, the term "Going Private
Transaction" shall mean any transaction that is a "Rule 13e-3 Transaction," as
such term is defined in Rule 13e-3(a)(3), as amended from time to time,
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided,
however, that (i) the term Goin Private Transaction shall not include any
transaction exempt under Rule 13e-3(g), and (ii) the term "affiliate" as used
in Rule 13e-3(a)(3)(i) shall be deemed to include an Affiliate, as defined in
Paragraph 5.4 hereof.

         (f) No holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to preemptive or 
subscription rights.

         (g) As long as any of the shares of Class A Common Stock shall be
listed and quoted on an exchange or other trading system (including the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System),
the Board of Directors shall ensure, and shall have all powers necessary to
ensure, that the membership of the Board of Directors shall at all times be
consistent with the applicable rules and regulations, if any, for the Class A
Common Stock to be eligible for listing and quotation on such exchange or other
trading system.

         5.5 CONVERSION RIGHTS.

         (a) Voluntary Conversion. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be 
convertible at any time, at the option of its holder, into one fully paid and
non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock.

         (b) Voluntary Conversion Procedure. At the time of a voluntary
conversion, the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock shall deliver to the
office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock
(i) the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class B Common
Stock to be converted, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper
instruments of transfer, and (ii) written notice to the Corporation stating
that such holder elects to convert such share or shares and stating the name
and addresses in which each certificate for shares of Class A Common Stock
issued upon such conversion is to be issued. Conversion shall be deemed to have
been effected at the close of business on the date when such delivery is made
to the Corporation of the shares to be converted, and the person exercising
such voluntary conversion shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion at such
time. The Corporation shall be justified in relying upon the information and
the certification contained in such notice and shall not be liable for the
result of any

                                       4

<PAGE>



inaccuracy with respect thereto. The Corporation shall promptly deliver
certificates evidencing the appropriate number of shares of Class A Common
Stock to such person.

         (c) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall 
convert automatically into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A
Common Stock (i) upon its sale, gift, or other transfer, voluntary or
involuntary, to a party that is not an Affiliate of Mr. Sillerman or of the
Corporation or (ii) upon the death of Mr. Sillerman, in the case of any shares
of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Sillerman or any Affiliate of Mr.
Sillerman. Each of the foregoing automatic conversion events shall be referred
to hereinafter as an "Event of Automatic Conversion."

         (d) Automatic Conversion Procedure. Promptly upon the occurrence of an
Event of Automatic Conversion, the holder of such shares shall surrender the
certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by
proper instruments of transfer, at the office of the Corporation, or of any
transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock, and shall give written notice to
the Corporation, at such office: (i) stating that the shares are being
converted pursuant to an Event of Automatic Conversion into Class A Common
Stock as provided in Paragraph 5.5(c) of this ARTICLE FIVE, (ii) specifying the
Event of Automatic Conversion (and, if the occurrence of such event is within
the control of the transferor, stating the transferor's intent to effect an
Event of Automatic Conversion), (iii) identifying the number of shares of Class
B Common Stock being converted, and (iv) setting out the name or names (with
addresses) and denominations in which the certificate or certificates for
shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued and shall include instructions
for delivery thereof. Delivery of such notice together with the certificates
representing the Class B Common Stock shall obligate the Corporation to issue
certificates representing such Class A Common Stock and the Corporation shall
be justified in relying upon the information and the certification contained in
such notice. Thereupon the Corporation or its transfer agent shall promptly
issue and deliver at such stated address to such holder or to the transferee of
shares of Class B Common Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of
shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder or transferee is entitled
registered in the name of such holder, the designee of such holder or
transferee as specified in such notice. To the extent permitted by law,
conversion pursuant to an Event of Automatic Conversion shall be deemed to have
been effected as of the date on which the Event of Automatic Conversion has
occurred (such time being the "Conversion Date"). The person entitled to
receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall
be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class A
Common Stock at and as of the Conversion Date, and the right of such person as
a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock shall cease and terminate at and as
of the Conversion Date, in each case without regard to any failure by the
holder to deliver the certificates or the notice required by this subparagraph
(d).

         (e) Unconverted Shares. In the event of the conversion of less than
all of the shares of Class B Common Stock evidenced by a certificate
surrendered to the Corporation in accordance with the procedures of Paragraph
5.5(b) or (d), the Corporation shall execute and deliver to or upon the written
order of the holder of such certificate, without charge to such holder, a new
certificate evidencing the number of shares of Class B Common Stock not
converted.

         (f) Reissue of Shares. Shares of Class B Common Stock that are
converted into Class A Common Stock as provided herein shall be retired and
canceled and shall not be reissued.

         (g) Reservation. The Corporation hereby reserves and shall at all 
times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued shares of
Class A Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting

                                       5

<PAGE>



conversions, such number of duly authorized shares of Class A Common Stock as
shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. The Corporation covenants that all
shares of Class A Common Stock so issuable shall, when so issued, be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from liens and charges
with respect to the issue. The Corporation will take all such action as may be
necessary to assure that all such shares of Class A Common Stock may be so
issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of any national securities exchange or other trading system upon
which the Class A Common Stock may be traded.

         5.6 LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Corporation, after distribution
in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders
of shares of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares
of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of
the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in
proportion to the number of shares of the Common Stock held by them. A
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Corporation, as such terms are
used in this Paragraph 5.6, shall not be deemed to be occasioned by or to
include any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other
corporation or corporations or other entity or a sale, lease, exchange, or
conveyance of all or a part of the assets of the Corporation.

         5.7 CONSIDERATION ON MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, ETC. In any merger,
consolidation, or business combination, the consideration to be received per
share by the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock must be
identical for each class of stock, except that in any such transaction in which
shares of common stock are to be distributed, such shares may differ as to
voting rights to the extent that voting rights now differ among the Class A
Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock.


                          ARTICLE SIX: PREFERRED STOCK

         6.1 ISSUANCE. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in

series adopted by the Board of Directors as hereafter prescribed.

         6.2 AUTHORIZATION BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Authority is hereby expressly
granted to and vested in the Board of Directors to authorize the issuance of
the Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more classes or series, and
with respect to each class or series of the Preferred Stock, to fix and state
by the resolution or resolutions from time to time adopted providing for the

<PAGE>



         (d) whether or not the shares of any class or series shall be
redeemable at the option of the Corporation or the holders thereof or upon the
happening of any specified event, and, if redeemable, the redemption price or
prices (which may be payable in the form of cash, notes, securities, or other
property), and the time or times at which, and the terms and conditions upon
which, such shares shall be redeemable and the manner of redemption;

         (e) whether or not the shares of a class or series shall be subject to
the operation of retirement or sinking funds to be applied to the purchase or
redemption of such shares for retirement, and, if such retirement or sinking

and provisions relative to the operation thereof;

         (f) the dividend rate, whether dividends are payable in cash, stock of
the Corporation, or other property, the conditions upon which and the times
when such dividends are payable, the preference to or the relation to the

         (g) the preferences, if any, and the amounts thereof which the holders
of any class or series thereof shall be entitled to receive upon the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the
Corporation;

         (h) whether or not the shares of any class or series, at the option of
the Corporation or the holder thereof or upon the happening of any specified
event, shall be convertible into or exchangeable for, the shares of any other
class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or
classes of stock, securities, or other property of the Corporation and the
conversion price or prices or ratio or ratios or the rate or rates at which
such exchange may be made, with such adjustments, if any, as shall be stated
and expressed or provided for in such resolution or resolutions; and

         (i) such other special rights and protective provisions with respect
to any class or series as may to the Board of Directors seem advisable.

         6.3 SHARES IN CLASS OR SERIES. The shares of each class or series of
the Preferred Stock may vary from the shares of any other class or series
thereof in any or all of the foregoing respects. The Board of Directors may
increase the number of shares of the Preferred Stock designated for any
existing class or series by a resolution adding to such class or series
authorized and unissued shares of the Preferred Stock not designated for any
other class or series. The Board of Directors may decrease the number of shares
of the Preferred Stock designated for any existing class or series by a
resolution subtracting from such class or series authorized and unissued shares
of the Preferred Stock designated for such existing class or series, and the
shares so subtracted shall become authorized, unissued, and undesignated shares
of the Preferred Stock.


              ARTICLE SEVEN: LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS

         A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing
violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware

                                       7

<PAGE>



General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. This ARTICLE SEVEN may not be amended or
modified to increase the liability of a director, or repealed, except upon the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the combined voting power of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock. No such amendment, modification, or
repeal shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability
of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions
of such director occurring prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal. In
addition to the circumstances in which a director of the Corporation is not
personally liable as set forth in the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE
SEVEN, a director shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders to
the fullest extent permitted by any law hereafter enacted, including without
limitation any subsequent amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law.


                         ARTICLE EIGHT: INDEMNIFICATION

         8.1 GENERAL. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was, is,
or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by
reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or (ii) while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner,
venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of
another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole
proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, to the
fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the
same exists or may hereafter be amended. Such right shall be a contract right
and as such shall run to the benefit of any director or officer who is elected
and accepts the position of director or officer of the Corporation or elects to
continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation while this
ARTICLE EIGHT is in effect. Any repeal or amendment of this ARTICLE EIGHT shall
be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any such director or
officer or the obligations of the Corporation with respect to any claim arising
from or related to the services of such director or officer in any of the
foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to this ARTICLE
EIGHT. Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If a claim for
indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the
Corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the
Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corpora tion to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses
of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such
indemnification or advancement of costs of defense are not permitted under the
Delaware General Corporation Law, but the burden of proving such defense shall
be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its
Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or
stockholders) to have made its determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnifica tion of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the
claimant is permissible in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof,
independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that such indemnification or
advancement is not permissible shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible. In the
event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the
foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her
heirs, executors, administrators, and personal representatives. The rights
conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may
have or hereafter acquire under any statute, by-law, resolution of stockholders
or directors, agreement, or otherwise.


                                       8

<PAGE>



         8.2 EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.  The Corporation may additionally indemnify 
any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

         8.3 PROCEEDINGS. As used in this ARTICLE EIGHT, the term "proceeding"
means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, any
appeal in such an action, suit, or proceeding, and any inquiry or investigation
that could lead to such an action, suit, or proceeding.


                  ARTICLE NINE: MANAGEMENT OF THE CORPORATION

         The following provisions relate to the management of the business and
the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation and are inserted for the purpose
of creating, defining, limiting, and regulating the powers of the Corporation
and its directors and stockholders:

         (a) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by 
and under the direction of the Board of Directors.

         (b) The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of
Directors shall be fixed in accordance with the by-laws of the Corporation (the
"By-Laws").

         (c) The Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend, and
repeal the By-Laws, except to the extent that the By-Laws otherwise provide.

         (d) All corporate powers and authority of the Corporation (except as
at the time otherwise provided by statute, by this Certificate of
Incorporation, or by the By-Laws) shall be vested in and exercised by the Board
of Directors.

         (e) The stockholders and directors shall have the power, if the
By-Laws so provide, to hold their respective meetings within or without the
State of Delaware and may (except as otherwise required by statute) keep the
Corporation's books outside the State of Delaware, at such places as from time
to time may be designated by the By-Laws or the Board of Directors.

         (f) Directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot 
unless the By-Laws otherwise provide.


                 ARTICLE TEN: CERTAIN CONTRACTS OR TRANSACTIONS

         No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of
its directors, officers, or stockholders or between the Corporation and any
person (as used herein, "person" means other corporation, partnership,
association, firm, trust, joint venture, political subdivision, or
instrumentality) or other organization in which one or more of its directors,
officers, or stockholders are directors, officers, or stockholders, or have a
financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely
because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of
the board or committee which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely
because his, her, or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:


                                       9

<PAGE>



         (i)      the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest
                  and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are
                  known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the
                  Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the
                  contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a
                  majority of the disinterested directors, even though the
                  disinterested directors be less than a quorum;

         (ii)     the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest
                  and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are
                  known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the
                  contract or transaction is specifically approved in good
                  faith by vote of the stockholders; or

         (iii)    the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as
                  of the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified by the
                  Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a
quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which
authorizes the contract or transaction.

                  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in
reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in
this Agreement by Sellers, at the Closing Purchaser shall purchase from Falk
and Polk, and Falk and Polk shall sell, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, free
and clear of all Liens, claims, options, charges and restrictions of any kind,

securities laws, the Purchased Shares.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

         2.2 Payment of the Cash Purchase Price. In partial consideration of
the sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment and delivery of the Purchased
Shares, Purchaser will pay to Sellers at the Closing, the aggregate amount of
Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($74,341,200) (the "Cash Purchase Price") payable
in the respective amounts to the Sellers as specified on Schedule 2.2, and by
wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the accounts to be
designated in writing by the respective Sellers to Purchaser at least one
business day prior to the Closing Date.

         2.3 Stock Transfer Taxes. Purchaser shall pay any and all stock
transfer taxes which are due as a result of the sale of the Purchased Shares to
Purchaser.

         2.4 Agreement to Issue Securities. (a) In partial consideration of
the sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment and delivery of the Purchased Shares
to Purchaser, SFX shall issue to Sellers an aggregate of One Million
(1,000,000) shares of Class A Common Stock of SFX (the "Securities"), allocated
to the respective Sellers as set forth on Schedule 2.4(a). Upon receipt
thereof, Falk shall sell, on and as of the Closing Date, to Polk and Higgins,
and Polk and Higgins shall purchase from Falk on and as of the Closing Date,
the number of Securities calculated in accordance with the SAR Amendments, at
the prior business day's closing price.

         (b) An appropriate adjustment in the number of shares of the
Securities to be issued to Sellers shall be made to give effect to any increase
or decrease in the number of issued shares of Class A Common Stock occurring or
having a record date, as appropriate, on or after the date of execution of this
Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date resulting from a subdivision or
consolidation of shares whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock
split, reverse stock split, spin-off, split-off, spin-out or other distribution
of assets to stockholders, stock distributions or combinations of shares, or
other similar action.

         2.5 Restrictive Legend. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees
that any certificates representing the Securities will bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form and a stop-transfer order may be
placed against their transfer:

         The securities represented by this certificate have not been
         registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
         securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold,
         transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration
         statement for the securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
         amended, or an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the issuer
         of such securities to the effect that registration is not required
         under said Act or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144.

         The legend set forth above shall be removed and SFX shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of Securities upon which it is
stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (i)
such Securities are included in an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act covering the 


                                     -10-
<PAGE>

resale thereof, or (ii) such holder provides SFX with an opinion of legal
counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to SFX to the
effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without
registration under the Securities Act and such Securities are being sold or
transferred in accordance with the method described therein as well as all
applicable state securities laws, or (iii) such holder provides SFX with
reasonable assurances that such Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) without any restriction
as to the number of Securities acquired as of a particular date that can then
be immediately sold (such holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive
unlegended certificates evidencing the shares not subject to Rule 144). Each
Seller agrees to sell all of the Securities including those represented by a
certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with the
prospectus delivery requirements, if any, under applicable securities laws.

         2.6 Registration Rights.

                  2.6.1 Piggyback Registrations. At any time after one year
from the date of the Closing, whenever SFX proposes to register any of its
securities under the Securities Act in any secondary or combined primary and
secondary offering in which any members of SFX's senior management participate
as selling shareholders, SFX will give timely written notice to Sellers of its
intention to effect such a registration and will include in such registration
all Securities with respect to which SFX has received written requests for
inclusion therein (including any Securities then beneficially owned by Seller
Permitted Transferees (as defined below)) within thirty (30) days after the
receipt of SFX's notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing
underwriter or underwriters of a proposed combined primary and secondary
offering advise SFX that the inclusion of all of the Securities requested to be
included in such offering would adversely affect the amount or price of the
securities that could be sold by SFX in such offering to a level or levels that
would be unacceptable to SFX in its sole and absolute discretion, then the
Securities and the securities offered by senior management of SFX to be
included in such offering shall be reduced, to the aggregate extent necessary
to eliminate, on the advice of such underwriters, such adverse effect, pro
rata, on the basis of the total number of shares originally intended to be
included therein by the members of SFX's senior management, on the one hand,
and the Sellers, on the other hand.

                  2.6.2 Demand Registration. At any time after one year from
the Closing Date, the holders of not less than 51% of the Securities then held
by all of the Sellers and the Seller Permitted Transferees may make one request
for the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities held by them.
SFX will give prompt written notice to the remaining holders of the Securities,
if any, of the request to effect such a registration and will include in such
registration all Securities with respect to which SFX has received written
requests for inclusion therein within thirty (30) days after the receipt of
SFX's notice. SFX shall use its best efforts to cause a registration statement
on the appropriate form under the Securities



                                     -11-
<PAGE>

Act (the "Registration Statement") to be declared effective by the SEC as soon
as practicable after its filing with the SEC which it agrees to file within 60
days of the original request, and to remain effective and current until the
earlier of (x) such time as all of the Securities included in such Registration
Statement are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or (y) 180 days after
the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, subject to
extension for the total number of days included in Blackout Periods (as defined
below) (the "Effective Period"); provided, however, that (X) each Seller shall
provide written notice to SFX ten (10) days prior to any sale of Securities,
(Y) SFX shall have no obligation to cause the Registration Statement to remain
effective for the benefit of a particular Seller if such Seller is able to sell
all remaining Securities owned by such Seller in compliance with Rule 144 in a
single transaction to which the volume limitations of Rule 144(e) do not apply
or if such volume limitations are applicable without exceeding such limitations
and (Z) in the event that SFX determines in good faith that the Registration
Statement may contain a material misstatement or omission (including as a
result of SFX having under consideration a significant acquisition or
disposition or other material transaction that has not been publicly
disclosed), SFX may cause the Registration Statement not to be used by Sellers
until such time as the SEC has declared effective a post-effective amendment to
the Registration Statement or if the misstatement or omission can be corrected
by incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement of another SEC
filing of SFX, SFX has made another filing on Form 8-K or other appropriate
form ("Incorporated Filing") to correct such misstatement or omission, which
post-effective amendment or Incorporated Filing, as the case may be, SFX agrees
to file within the ten (10) day period referenced in (X) above, or in the case
of a significant acquisition, disposition or other material transaction, within
45 days of such notice, and use its best efforts to cause to become effective
as soon as practicable (such period when the Registration Statement is not
effective being a "Blackout Period"). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 2.6.2 to the contrary, in the event that (i) in connection with
such registration of Securities, SFX is obligated to permit one or more other
Persons to have the sale of certain shares of Class A Common Stock held by them
to be registered under the same Registration Statement as that covering the
sale of the Securities in a so-called "piggy-back" registration; and (ii) as a
result of such "piggy-back" registration, the managing underwriters or
underwriters of the proposed combined offering of the Securities and such other
shares advise SFX that the inclusion of all of the securities requested to be
included in such offering would adversely affect the amount or price of the
securities that could be sold by the Seller or Sell-



                                     -12-
<PAGE>

ers (or his or their Seller Permitted Transferees) in such offering to a level
or levels that would be unacceptable to such Seller or Sellers (or his or their
Seller Permitted Transferees) in their sole and absolute discretion, then, in
such event, the securities to be included in such offering shall be reduced to
the aggregate extent necessary to eliminate, on the advice of such
underwriters, such adverse effect, pro rata (to the extent SFX is contractually
entitled to do so, provided that from and after the date hereof SFX will not
agree to any provision containing such a restriction), on the basis of the
total number of shares originally intended to be included therein by the Seller
or Sellers (or his or their Seller Permitted Transferees), on the one hand, and
the holders of such other shares, on the other hand. In the event any such
reduction occurs as set forth in the preceding sentence, then, notwithstanding
the first sentence of this Section 2.6.2 to the contrary, at any time after
ninety (90) days from the effective date of the Registration Statement covering
such reduced number of shares, the holders of not less than 51% of the
remaining outstanding Securities not covered by such Registration Statement may
make one additional request for the registration under the Securities Act of
such remaining outstanding Securities and, in such event, the terms and
provisions of this Section 2.6.2 shall apply to such request as if it were the
original request, including this sentence and the next preceding sentence.

                  2.6.3 Listing of Securities; Expenses. SFX shall use its
best efforts to cause the shares of Securities to be approved for quotation on
the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ, or other
national securities exchange in which the securities of SFX are principally
traded, as soon as practicable after filing the Registration Statement. SFX
will also use its best efforts to register or qualify the Securities included
in the Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of
the United States and keep such registration or qualification in effect for the
Effective Period, and do any and all other acts and things which may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable Sellers to have the right to sell
or otherwise dispose of the Securities included in the Registration Statement
in such jurisdictions. SFX shall pay all expenses on any registration
hereunder, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and, subject to
Section 2.6.6, other than expenses incurred by the Seller or Sellers whose
Securities are being sold for legal, accounting, investment banking or other
similar services obtained by such Seller or Sellers in connection with such
registration and sale.

                  2.6.4 Information. In connection with any registration of
the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, each Seller shall furnish SFX with
such written information concerning such Seller as SFX may reasonably request
for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement, any preliminary
 prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereto ("Prospectus") to the extent such information
is required by law to be included therein and shall cooperate fully in the
preparation and filing of any Registration Statement or any other documents
filed with the SEC in connection therewith. Each Seller shall individually
indemnify SFX, its officers and directors, and each Person, if any, who
controls SFX within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against
any losses, claims, damages, expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel
and including amounts paid in settlement in accordance with the terms hereof)
and liabilities, joint or several, to which SFX or any such officer or director
or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses (including fees and expenses
of counsel and including amounts paid in settlement in accordance with the
terms hereof) or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or


                                     -13-
<PAGE>

threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement of any material fact contained in, or any material fact omitted from
the Registration Statement or Prospectus covering the Securities, if such
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to SFX by such Seller expressly stating that such
information is for use therein; provided, that the aggregate amount which any
Seller (or any Seller Permitted Transferee) shall be obligated to pay pursuant
to this Section 2.6.4 shall be limited to the gross proceeds received by such
Seller (or Seller Permitted Transferee) upon the sale of the Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such claim.

                  2.6.5 Communication with Holders. SFX will, prior to filing
the Registration Statement, furnish to each of the holders of the Securities
included in such Registration Statement a copy of the draft of such document
which is proposed to be filed and shall permit and assist the Sellers in their
conduct of any reasonable due diligence they deem appropriate. Upon the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement and the written request of any
Seller, SFX shall (i) cause to be provided to such Seller such number of copies
of the form of Prospectus included in the Registration Statement as such Seller
shall reasonably request and (ii) provide (A) an opinion dated such date of
counsel representing SFX, addressed to such Seller, to the effect that the
Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and that
(1) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the
effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have
been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act, and
(2) the Registration Statement and the related form of Prospectus comply as to
form with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and
regulations thereunder (except that such counsel need not express an opinion as
to financial statements contained therein) and to such other effects as may
reasonably be requested by such Seller, and (B) a letter dated such date from
the independent public accountants retained by SFX, addressed to such Seller,
stating that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the
Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial
statements of SFX included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
comply as to form with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities
Act, and such letter shall additionally cover such other financial matters in
respect of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as such Seller may
reasonably request. SFX will promptly notify such holders of any stop order
issued or threatened by the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement and
will take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop
order or to remove it if entered. SFX will notify such holders during the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of the occurrence of an event that
would require the preparation of a supplement or amendment to the Prospectus in
order for such Prospectus to not (i) contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or (ii) omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. SFX will provide such
holders with a copy of any such supplement or amendment and of any written or
other material communications from or to any Authority regarding the
registration. Each Seller of 


                                     -14-
<PAGE>

Securities included in such Registration Statement shall advise SFX of any
proposed change in the manner of such Seller's distribution.

                  2.6.6 Indemnification by SFX. SFX hereby indemnifies and
holds harmless each Seller who is a holder of Securities covered by any
Registration Statement filed under the terms of this Section 2.6, and each of
such holder's officers, directors, partners and each Person deemed to be an
"underwriter" under the Securities Act, if any, and each Person controlling any
such Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, if any,
against any losses, claims, damages, expenses (including fees and expenses of
counsel and including amounts paid in settlement in accordance with the terms
hereof) and liabilities, joint or several, to which such Seller or any of the
foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses (including fees and expenses
of counsel and including amounts paid in settlement in accordance with the
terms hereof) or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any
Prospectus covering the Securities, or any omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or
any violation of any law, rule or regulation by SFX in connection with any such
registration except insofar as such untrue statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to SFX by
such Seller expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus in
connection with which such claim was made.

                  2.6.7 Indemnification Procedures. Notwithstanding anything
in this Article to the contrary, in the event that either SFX or any Seller
(the "indemnifying party") is required to indemnify any Seller or SFX (the
"indemnified party") pursuant to this Article, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to assume the defense of such investigation or defense, with counsel
of nationally recognized standing selected by such indemnifying party, approved
by such indemnified party in its reasonable discretion, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to such indemnified party of
written notice of its election to do so. The indemnifying party shall pay all
charges of any such counsel selected by him or it. After delivery of such
notice, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
under this subsection for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party with respect to the same investigation or defense unless such
indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of
such indemnified party by counsel provided by the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such
indemnified party and the indemnifying party, including situations in which
there are one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that
are different or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party. The
indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of such
indemnified party 


                                     -15-
<PAGE>

settle, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any
litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which
indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Article (whether or
not such indemnified party is a natural or potential party thereof), unless
such settlement, compromise or consent (A) is solely for money and (B) (i)
included an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii)
does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a
failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

                  2.6.8 Other Remedies. In circumstances in which any
indemnity provided by this Section 2.6 is unavailable or insufficient, for any
reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel and including amounts
paid in settlement in accordance with the terms hereof) or liabilities (or
actions or proceedings in respect thereof), then each indemnifying party, in
order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages, expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel and including
amounts paid in settlement in accordance with the terms hereof) or liabilities
(or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying
party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the relevant
offering of securities, (ii) the relative fault of the indemnifying party or
parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand
in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions or proceedings in respect thereof) and (iii) any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relevant fault of the parties shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the statement or omission or
alleged statement or omission relates to information supplied by SFX or by any
Seller, the parties' relative intents, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other
equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
Section were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in the preceding sentences of this Section. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 2.6 to the contrary, no Seller (or Seller Permitted Transferee) shall
be required pursuant to this Section 2.6 to contribute any amount in excess of
the gross proceeds received by such Seller (or Seller Permitted Transferee)
from the sale of such Securities in the offering to which the losses, claims,
damages, expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel and including amounts
paid in settlement in accordance with the terms hereof) or liabilities of the
indemnified parties relate, less the amount of all indemnification and

any Seller may assign the registration rights granted to him hereunder to any
immediate family member or any trust or other similar entity, the sole
beneficiary or beneficiaries of which is such Seller or a member of such
Seller's immediate family. The registration rights set forth in this Section

         2.7 Earn-out.

         (a) Subject to subparagraph (c) below, Purchaser shall pay Sellers an
amount in cash (the "Earn-out"), in the aggregate not to exceed $15,000,000
(unless required pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(iii)), payable in five (5) equal
installments of $3,000,000 each (unless required pursuant to Section
2.7(c)(iii)), over a five (5) year period, provided that the Companies' EBITDA
for each of the Companies' fiscal years ending in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and
2002 (each, a "Test Year") equals or exceeds 105% of the projections for such
fiscal year, respectively (each, "Target EBITDA") as set forth on Schedule
2.7(a) (provided that in the case of payments pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(iii),
such payments shall be made as set forth in Schedule 2.7(c)(iii)); provided
that if in any Test Year the Companies' EBITDA equals or exceeds 75% of the
Target EBITDA for such Test Year but does not equal or exceed 105% of such
Target EBITDA, Purchaser shall pay Higgins the Earn-out that he would otherwise
be paid under this Section 2.7(a) if EBITDA did equal or exceed 105% of such
Target EBITDA.

         (b) Within 90 days following the close of each fiscal year of the
Compa- nies ending in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002, Purchaser shall deliver
to Sellers an income statement of the Companies for such fiscal year,
accompanied by (A) a certification thereof by SFX's chief financial officer to
the effect that such income statement (i) has been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a basis consistent with
the application of such principles in the audit of the Financial Statements,
and (ii) fairly presents the results of the Companies' operations for such
fiscal year, and (B) a notice specifying the Companies' EBITDA for such fiscal
year (the "Earn-out Notice"), showing in reasonable detail the computation
thereof to be accompanied by a certification by SFX's chief financial officer
that such computation was performed in a manner consistent with the preparation
of the Financial Statements and based on the Companies' books and records. The
Earn-out, if any, payable for such fiscal year, shall be paid to Higgins or
Sellers as the case may be as set forth on Schedule 2.7(a) within 30 days
following the delivery required by the preceding sentence by wire transfer of
immediately available federal funds to an account designated by each Seller,
subject to Section 2.7(d) below.

         (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

                  (i) If in any Test Year (the "Current Test Year"), the
Companies' EBITDA (determined as set forth in subparagraph (b) above) is in an
amount equal to less than 105% of Target EBITDA for such Current Test Year,
then, at the direction of Falk, any portion of any excess of EBITDA from one or
more prior Test Years over 105% of the respective Target EBITDA for each of
such prior Test Years (the "Carry Forward Amount") may be added to the EBITDA
for the Current Test Year in such amounts as Falk may determine and the result
of the addition shall be deemed to be the EBITDA for such Current Test Year for
purposes of paying the Earn-out amount for such Current Test Year under
subparagraph (a) above; provided that if any payment was previously made with
respect to such Carry Forward Amount in a prior Test Year pursuant to clause
(c)(iii) below, the amount due pursuant to paragraph (a) with respect to the
Current Test Year shall be reduced by the payment made with respect to the
Carry Forward Amount pursuant to clause (c)(iii) in such prior Test Year and
the Sellers shall reimburse each other for prior overpayments received.

                  (ii) If in any Current Test Year, the Companies' EBITDA
(determined as set forth in subparagraph (b) above) is in an amount equal to
more than 105% of Target EBITDA for such Current Test Year, then, at the
direction of Falk, any portion of any excess of EBITDA from such Current Test
Year and any prior Test Years for which EBITDA exceeded 105% of the related
Test Year's Target EBITDA as the case may be (the "Carry Back Amount") may be
added to the EBITDA for any prior Test Year in such amounts as Falk may
determine and the result of the addition shall be deemed to be the EBITDA for
such prior Test Year for purposes of paying the Earn-out amount for such Test
Year under subparagraph (a) above and any Earn-out payment that was not
otherwise made with respect to such prior Test Year due to the failure of the
EBITDA in such prior Test Year to have been in an amount greater than 105% of
the Target EBITDA for such prior Test Year shall be due and payable as if such
Earn-out payment were due with respect to the Current Test Year and shall be in
addition to any amount due with respect to the Current Test Year.

                  (iii) If for any Current Test Year, the Companies' EBITDA for
such Current Test Year (increased by any Carry Forward Amount determined and
added in accordance with subparagraph (c)(ii) above and/or decreased by any
Carry Back Amount to the extent derived from the EBITDA for such Current Test
Year in accordance with subparagraph (c)(ii) above) exceeds 100% of the Target
EBITDA for such Current Test Year and the aggregate amount of such EBITDA
constitutes a percentage of Target EBITDA for such Current Test Year set forth
below, then the Earn-out amount for such Test Year shall be increased by an
amount equal to the percentage of the excess EBITDA over 100% of such Target
EBITDA set forth opposite the Total EBITDA below (which increase will be paid
as set forth on Schedule 2.7(c)(iii)):

                                      Increase in Earn-out Equal to
Aggregate EBITDA Equals This        this Percentage of the Excess of
Percentage of Target EBITDA            EBITDA Over Target EBITDA

   More than 150%                    20%                        20% 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event EBITDA for any Test Year exceeds
105% of the Target EBITDA for such Test Year, such excess may be used as the
basis for a Carry Forward Amount under clause (i) above, or or a Carry Back
Amount under clause (ii) above, or a combination thereof, but no portion of
such excess may be so used under both clause (i) and clause (ii).

                  (iv) In the event of a Business Disposition prior to the
completion of the final Test Year:

                  (1) If such Business Disposition is consummated on or prior
to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, then SFX shall pay to the
Sellers, in the proportions set forth in Schedule 2.7(a), at the election of
Falk, in lieu of any payment under Section 2.7(a), on the date of such
consummation, an amount in cash equal to (A) one-third of the Disposition
Profit up to $45,000,000 of Disposition Profit (i.e., a payment of up to
$15,000,000) plus (B) 10% of any Disposition Profit in excess of $45,000,000;
which payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available federal
funds to an account designated by each Seller and no further payments under
this Section 2.7 shall be due.

                  (2) If such Business Disposition is consummated on a date
after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the end of the
final Test Year, SFX shall pay to the Sellers, in the proportions set forth in
Schedule 2.7(a), at the election of Falk, in lieu of any payment under Section
2.7(a), on the date of such consummation, an amount in cash equal to the amount
owed for any Test Years completed but not yet paid plus the greater of (A) the
product of (x) the result of (i) total prior payments made pursuant to Section
2.7(a) (including any for Test Years completed but not yet paid) divided by
(ii) the number of Test Years completed, multiplied by (y) the number of Test
Years not yet completed; and (B) 10% of any Disposition Profit; which payment
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an
account designated by each Seller and no further payments under this Section
2.7 shall be due.

<PAGE>

                  (3) For purposes of this Section 2.7(c)(v), "Business
Disposition" shall mean the transfer, in a transaction or series of related
transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of FAME or 50% or more
of the voting power or equity of FAME by merger, stock sale, recapitalization,
reorganization, foreclosure on a pledge, voting agreement or other transfer
from Purchaser to any other Person that is not a wholly owned subsidiary of SFX
(including by transfer of interests in a direct or indirect parent of FAME).

                  (4) For purposes of this Section 2.7(c)(v), "Disposition
Profit" shall mean the excess of (A) (i) the fair market value of the aggregate
consideration, in cash, securities or other property, received, directly or
indirectly, by SFX in consideration for a Business Disposition divided by (ii)
the proportion of the Businesses transferred in a Business Disposition
(expressed as a decimal) over (B) the fair market value of the Securities as of
the Closing Date plus $74,341,200 plus amounts theretofore paid pursuant to
Section 2.7; provided, however, that in the case of any Business Disposition to
an Affiliate of SFX or Purchaser (or any holder of more than 10% of the equity
or voting power of SFX), the amount to be used in subclause (A)(i) of this
sentence shall be the fair market value of the Businesses transferred in such
Business Disposition as determined by an investment bank of national reputation
selected jointly by the Sellers and SFX, provided that such investment bank
shall not be engaged by any Person in connection with the Business Disposition,
and provided further that such investment bank shall be selected by a
representative of the American Arbitration Association in the event Sellers and
SFX are unable to agree upon a joint selection.

                  (5) In the case of the sale, transfer or disposition of any
assets (other than in the Ordinary Course of Business) or interests in the
Companies that does not constitute a Business Disposition, the EBIDTA Targets
shall be adjusted, as agreed between Falk and SFX, to appropriately reflect the
effect of such sale, transfer or disposition; provided that if such adjustment
is not so agreed, it shall be determined by an investment bank of national
reputation selected by a representative of the American Arbitration
Association.

         (d) Review of EBITDA.

                  (i) During the preparation of the Earn-out Notice and the
period of any dispute within the contemplation of this Section, Purchaser and
SFX shall cause the Companies to (1) provide Sellers and Sellers' authorized
representatives, upon reasonable notice, full access during normal business
hours to the books, records, facilities and employees of the Companies and SFX
and its subsidiaries and their independent accountants and their respective
workpapers to review of preparation of the Earn-out Notice; and (2) cooperate
with Sellers and Sellers' authorized representatives, including the provision
on a timely basis of all information reasonably requested by Sellers or
Sellers' authorized representatives and necessary or useful in reviewing the
preparation of the Earn-out Notice.

                                     -20-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) After receipt of the Earn-out Notice, Sellers shall have
30 days to review the Earn-out Notice, together with the workpapers used in the
preparation thereof. Sellers and Sellers' authorized representatives shall have
full access during normal business hours to all relevant books and records and
employees of SFX, Purchaser and the Companies and their independent accountants
and their respective workpapers to complete their review of the Earn-out
Notice; and SFX and Purchaser will cause their independent auditors to provide
Sellers and their accountants full access to the workpapers of such independent
auditors in connection with the review of the Earn-out Notice and accompanying
certificate (as provided in Section 2.7(b)). Unless Sellers deliver written
notice to Purchaser on or prior to the 30th day after Sellers' receipt of the
Earn-out Notice specifying in reasonable detail all disputed items and the
basis therefor, Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the
Earn-out Notice (such 30-day period to be extended for any period of time
during which Sellers shall not have had full access to such books, records,
employees and workpapers as described in the preceding sentence). If Sellers so
notify Purchaser of their objection to the Earn-out Notice, Sellers and
Purchaser shall, within 30 days following such notice (the "Resolution
Period"), attempt to resolve their differences and any resolution by them as to
any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive.

                  (iii) If at the conclusion of the Resolution Period amounts
shall remain in dispute, then all amounts remaining in dispute and any dispute
as to exclusions of or additions to revenues and any allocations of expenses
contemplated by the definition of "EBITDA", shall be submitted to a firm of
nationally recognized independent public accountants (the "Neutral Auditors")
selected by Sellers and Purchaser within 10 days after the expiration of the
Resolution Period. If Sellers and Purchaser are unable to agree on the Neutral
Auditors, then Sellers and Purchaser shall each have the right to request the
American Arbitration Association to appoint the Neutral Auditors who shall not
have had a material business relationship with Sellers, Purchaser, SFX or any
of their respective Affiliates within the past two years. The parties hereto
agree to execute, if requested by the Neutral Auditors, a reasonable engagement
letter. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by
the Neutral Auditors shall be borne by Purchaser. The Neutral Auditors shall
act as an arbitrator to determine only those issues still in dispute. The
Neutral Auditors' determination shall be made within 30 days of their
selection, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Sellers and
Purchaser and shall be final, binding and conclusive.

<PAGE>

the representations and warranties set forth below to Purchaser and SFX (except
that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, and
3.22 are made by each Seller severally and not jointly with respect to any of
the other Sellers):

3.1 Sellers' Status; Authority; Enforceability; Conflicts; Consents.

representative appointed by a court of law.

         (b) Such Seller has the legal capacity, power and authority necessary
to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder.

         (c) This Agreement is binding upon, and enforceable against, such
Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by
general principles of equity (whether in a proceeding at law or in equity).

         (d) Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement by such Seller
nor the performance by any Seller of its obligations under this Agreement will
(assuming the receipt of all consents referred to in Section 3.23), conflict
with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute
a default under, any material contract, lease, license, franchise, permit,
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement or other material agreement
or instrument to which such Seller is a party or is bound or any judgment,
order or decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to such
Seller or the property or assets of such Seller, the Articles of Incorporation
or By-laws of each Company or any applicable Law or Order to which such Seller
is a party or by which such Seller is bound, except, in any such case, as would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME.

         (e) No consent, approval, license, permit, order or authorization of,
or registration, declaration or filing with, any court, administrative agency
or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or

transactions contemplated hereby, except, in any such case, under the Hart
Scott Rodino Act and as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME.

         3.2 The Purchased Shares and the SARs. Such Seller is the
owner of record of and has legal and valid title to such number of the FAME
Shares and the Financial Shares as set forth opposite Seller's name on the
signature pages hereto, free and clear of any claims, Liens, options, charges
and restrictions whatsoever. At the Closing, such Seller shall transfer to

claims, Liens, options, charges and restrictions whatsoever except resale
restrictions under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Purchased
Shares are not subject to any voting trust agreement or 


                                     -22-
<PAGE>

other contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding, including,
without limitation, any such agreement, arrangement, commitment or
understanding restricting or otherwise relating to the voting, dividend rights
or disposition of the Purchased Shares other than the Shareholders' Agreement,
which will be canceled and terminated at the Closing. After giving effect to
the actions taken prior to the Closing to cancel and terminate the SARs,
neither Polk nor Higgins nor any other Person shall have any rights thereunder
or arising therefrom, and FAME shall have no surviving liability or obligation
thereunder whatsoever.

         3.3 Organization and Standing of the Companies. Each Company is a
corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its state of
incorporation. Each Company has full corporate power and authority and
possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and
approvals necessary to enable it to use its corporate name and to own, lease or
otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
presently conducted other than such franchises, licenses, permits,
authorizations and approvals the lack of which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME. Each Company is
duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in
which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or holding of its
properties makes such qualification necessary, except where any such failure
would not have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME, individually or in the
aggregate. Sellers have delivered to Purchaser true and complete copies of the
Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date, and the By-laws, as in effect on
the date hereof, of each Company. The stock certificate and transfer books and
the minute books of each Company (which have been made available for inspection
by Purchaser and its representatives) are true and complete.

         3.4 Capital Stock of the Companies. The authorized capital stock of
FAME consists of 1,000 shares of common stock, without par value, of which
1,000 shares are duly authorized and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid
and nonassessable. The authorized capital stock of Financial consists of 1,000
shares of common stock, without par value, of which 1,000 shares are duly
authorized and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.
Falk and Polk are the sole registered and beneficial holders of the Purchased
Shares. The Purchased Shares have not been issued in violation of, and, are not
subject to, any preemptive or subscription rights. Except as set forth above,
there are no shares of capital stock or other equity securities of either
Company outstanding. Other than the SARs and the Shareholders' Agreement (each
of which will be cancelled and terminated at or prior to the Closing), there
are no outstanding warrants, options, agreements, convertible or exchangeable
securities or other commitments pursuant to which Sellers or either Company is
or may become obligated to issue, sell, purchase, return or redeem any shares
of capital stock or other securities of either Company and no equity securities
of either Company are reserved for issuance for any purpose.

                                     -23-
<PAGE>

         3.5 Equity Interests. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.5, neither
Company owns, directly or indirectly, any capital stock of or other equity
interests in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity.

         3.6 Contracts. Schedule 3.6 to this Agreement contains a complete
list of all written Contracts entered into by each Company or by which each
Company is currently bound and copies of such written Contracts have been
provided or made available to Purchaser or its advisors. There are no oral
Contracts that, individually or in the aggregate, are material to FAME. All
such Contracts are valid and binding upon the Company which is a party thereto
and, to the Sellers' Knowledge, the other parties thereto, except as limited by
bankruptcy and insolvency laws and by other laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on
FAME. To each Seller's Knowledge, there is no default or event that with notice
or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default by any party to any of
the Contracts, except for such defaults or events that would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on FAME. To each Seller's Knowledge, neither any Seller
nor either Company has received notice that any party to any of such Contracts
intends to cancel or terminate any of such agreements or to exercise or not
exercise any options under any of such agreements, including, without
limitation, any renewal options.

         3.7 Compliance with Laws. Each Company has complied with all, and is
not in violation of any, applicable Laws and Orders affecting its properties or
the operation of its business, other than such noncompliance or violation,
individually or in the aggregate, that would not have a Material Adverse Effect
on FAME.

         3.8 Litigation. Schedule 3.8 sets forth a list of all suits, actions,
arbitrations, and to each Seller's knowledge legal, administrative and other
proceedings and governmental investigations pending or, to each Seller's
Knowledge, threatened, against or affecting either Company or the Businesses
which, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME.
Except as set forth in Schedule 3.8, neither Company is presently engaged as a
plaintiff or counterclaimant in any material legal action to recover moneys due
to it or damages sustained by it.

         3.9 Personnel Identification and Compensation. Schedule 3.9 contains
a list of the names, addresses and titles of all current officers, directors
and employees of each Company as of April 24, 1998. Sellers have previously
delivered to Purchaser a true and correct schedule stating the rates of
compensation payable (or paid, as the case may be) to each such person as of
such date. No non-employee agents or representatives, individually, are
material to the business of either Company.

         3.10 Existing Employment Contracts. Schedule 3.10 contains a list of
all employment contracts and collective bargaining agreements to which either
Com-


                                     -24-
<PAGE>

pany is a party or by which either Company is bound. To each Seller's
Knowledge, all these contracts and arrangements are in full force and effect,
and neither Company nor any other Person is in default under any such contract
or arrangement, except for such failures to be in full force and effect and for
defaults that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME. To each
Seller's Knowledge, there is no pending or threatened labor dispute, strike, or
work stoppage by the employees of the Companies affecting either Company or the
Businesses, except for disputes, strikes or work stoppages that would not have
a Material Adverse Effect on FAME.

         3.12 ERISA.

         (a) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.12 hereto, no Employee Benefit
Plan, including, without limitation, any Multiemployer Plan, exists and neither
Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is a participating employer in any Employee
Benefit Plan in which more than one employer makes contributions as described
in Sections 4063 and 4064 of ERISA. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.12,
neither Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any material contingent liability
with respect to any post-retirement benefit under any Employee Welfare Benefit
Plan which is a welfare plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), other than
liability for health plan continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I
of ERISA, or under state law, or liability disclosed on Schedule 3.12 the cost
of which is borne by the participant or beneficiary. Sellers have given or made
available to Purchaser or its advisors true and complete copies of all the
following: (i) each Employee Benefit Plan and related trust agreement
(including all amendments with respect to such Employee Benefit Plan or trust)
which either Company or any ERISA Affiliate maintains or is committed to
contribute to as of the date hereof and the most recent summary plan
description, actuarial report, determination letter issued by the IRS and Form
5500 filed in respect of each such Employee Benefit Plan; and (ii) a listing of
all of the Multiemployer Plans to which either Company or any ERISA Affiliate
contributes or is committed to contribute, together with any information which
has been provided in the past year to either Company or any ERISA Affiliate
regarding withdrawal liability under any Multiemployer Plan.

         (b) Except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect on FAME,
each Employee Benefit Plan complies, in both form and operation, in all
material respects, with its terms, ERISA and the Code including, without
limitation, Code Section 4980B, and no condition exists or event has occurred
with respect to any such plan which would result in the incurrence by either
Company or any ERISA Affiliate of any liability, fine or penalty. Each Employee
Benefit Plan, related trust agreement, arrangement and commitment of each
Company and any ERISA Affiliate is legally valid and binding and in full force
and effect. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the IRS to be so qualified,
and each trust related to such plan has been determined to be exempt under
Section 501(a) of the Code. To each Seller's Knowledge, no Employee Benefit
Plan is being audited or investigated by any government agency or subject to
any pending or threatened claim or suit. Neither Company nor any ERISA
Affiliate of either Company (i) maintains or is a partici-


                                     -26-

pating employer in any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan or (ii) has incurred
any liability to any Person in respect of any Pension Plan which remains
unsatisfied on the date hereof.

         (c) Neither Company nor any fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan has
engaged in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code that will have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME.

         (d) There are no agreements which will provide payments to any
officer, employee, shareholder or highly compensated individual which will be
"parachute payments" under Section 280G of the Code that are nondeductible to
either Company and which will be subject to the tax under Section 4999 of the
Code for which such Company would have a material withholding liability.

         3.13 Tax Matters. Except as would not result in a Material Adverse
Effect on FAME:

         (a) Each Company has duly filed (and prior to the Closing Date will
duly file) all material tax returns, reports or estimates, which returns,
reports and estimates were complete in all material respects, all prepared in
accordance with applicable Laws, for all years and periods (and portions
thereof), for all jurisdictions (whether federal, state, local or foreign) in
which any such returns, reports or estimates were due and for all such returns,
reports and estimates which are required to be filed by any applicable Law on
or prior to the Closing Date, all of such returns, reports or estimates have
been filed (and prior to the Closing Date will be filed) on a timely basis. No
adjustments relating to such returns have been proposed formally or informally
by any taxing authority and, to the knowledge of the Company, no basis exists
for any such adjustment. All Taxes shown as due and payable on such returns,
reports and estimates have been paid (or will be paid prior to the Closing),
and there is no current liability for any Taxes due and payable in connection
with any such returns. Any charges, accruals and reserves for Taxes provided
for on the Financial Statements are adequate. There are no existing liens for
Taxes upon either of the Company's properties or assets except for liens for
property taxes not yet due and payable. All applicable sales and transfer taxes
with respect to the Purchased Shares, to the extent due, were paid when the
Purchased Shares were acquired by Sellers, respectively. Sellers have provided
to Purchaser copies of all federal, state and foreign tax returns filed by each
Company for the past three (3) years;

         (b) Each Company has: (i) withheld all required amounts, based on the
withholding allowance certificates provided, from their employees, agents,
contractors and nonresidents and remitted such amounts to the proper
Authorities; (ii) paid all employer contributions and premiums; and (iii) filed
all federal, state, local and foreign returns and reports with respect to
employee income Tax withholding, and social security and unemployment Taxes and
premiums, all in compliance with the 


                                     -27-
<PAGE>

withholding provisions of the Code, or any prior provision of the Code and
other applicable Laws;

         (c) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.13, neither Company has any (or
has previously had any) permanent establishment in any foreign country and
neither Company engages (or has previously engaged) in a trade or business
within the meaning of the Code relating to the creation of a permanent
establishment in any foreign country;

         (d) Each of the Companies has in effect a valid election to be treated
as an "S corporation", as that term is defined in Section 1361(a) of the Code
and has had such valid elections in effect at all times since their formation.
Each of the Companies qualifies as, and will qualify as of the Closing Date as,
an "S corporation", as that term is defined in Section 1361(a) of the Code;

         (e) There are no claims or investigations by the Internal Revenue
Service or any other taxing authority pending or threatened against the
Companies or the Sellers for any past due Taxes of the Company; there has been
no waiver granted or requested of any applicable statute of limitations or
extension of the time for the assessment of any Tax of the Companies for which
the Companies or the Sellers could be liable under any provision of federal,
state, local, or foreign law; there are no outstanding requests for information
made by a taxing authority to the Companies or the Sellers in respect of Taxes
of the Companies; and there are no outstanding requests by the Companies or the
Sellers to a taxing authority for a ruling, determination, permission, consent,
or similar item in respect of the Companies. No closing agreement (as defined
in section 7121 of the Code) or any similar provision of any state, local, or
foreign law has been entered into by or with respect to the Companies;

         (f) Except for liens for real and personal property taxes that are not
yet due and payable, there are no liens or encumbrances for any Tax upon the
stock or upon any asset of the Companies;

         (g) No power of attorney that is currently in force has been granted
to any person with respect to any matter relating to Taxes that could affect
the Companies;

         (h) None of the Sellers is a foreign person within the meaning of
Section 1.1445-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and, to the knowledge of the
Companies or the Sellers, no amount of Tax is otherwise required to be withheld
pursuant to any provision of law as a result of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement;

         (i) The Companies do not have any item of income, gain, loss, or
deduction reportable in a taxable period ending after the date hereof but
attributable to a Code Section 481 adjustment resulting from any change in
method of accounting 


                                     -28-
<PAGE>

made at the direction of Falk and Polk that occurred in a taxable period or
portion thereof ending on or before the date hereof;

         (j) The Companies will not be liable for any Tax under Code Section
1374 in connection with the deemed sale of the Companies' assets caused by the
Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Companies have not in the past ten years, (A)
acquired assets from another corporation in a transaction in which the
Companies' tax basis for the acquired assets was determined, in whole or in
part, by reference to the Tax basis of the acquired assets (or any other
property) in the hands of the transferor or (B) acquired the stock of any
corporation which is a qualified subchapter S subsidiary; and

         (k) As of the date hereof, the Companies satisfy the conditions set
forth in section 4.02 of Revenue Procedure 97-37 for purposes of permitting the
Company to elect an automatic change of method of accounting to the accrual
method as specified thereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the
inability to make a January 1 Election by reason of the failure of either
Company to satisfy such conditions as of the Closing Date shall not be
considered to have, or contribute to, a Material Adverse Effect on FAME.

         3.14 Title to Assets. Except as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on FAME, each Company has legal and valid title to, or with respect to
leased real property, a valid and binding leasehold interest in, all assets
reflected on the Reference Balance Sheet free and clear of all Liens except (a)
as set forth on Schedule 3.14, (b) liens for current taxes not yet due and
payable or for taxes the validity of which is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings, and (c) assets sold, disposed of or dissipated in the
Ordinary Course of Business since such date.

         3.15 Real Property. Neither Company owns any material real property.
Schedule 3.15 contains a complete and accurate list of all real property leases
to which each Company is a party. To each Seller's Knowledge, all of such real
property leases are valid and in full force, and there does not exist any
default or event that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a
default under any of such real property leases, except for defaults or events
that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME.

         3.16 Licenses and Permits. To each Seller's Knowledge, (i) Schedule
3.16 lists and describes all qualifications, registrations, filings,
privileges, franchises, immunities, licenses, permits, authorizations and
approvals with or of Authorities which are used or required in order for each
Company to own and/or operate its Business, except for those the absence of
which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME (collectively, the
"Permits"), and (ii) each Permit, the absence of which would have a Material
Adverse Effect on FAME, is valid and subsisting, and in full force and effect
in accordance with its terms.

         (a) Schedule 3.17 contains a list of the insurance policies that each
Company currently maintains with respect to its business, properties and
employees as of the date hereof, each of which is in full force and effect. No
insurance premiums with respect to such policies are in default, and, to each
Seller's Knowledge, neither Company is otherwise in default with respect to any
such policy, nor has either Company failed to give any notice or present any
claim under any such policy in a due and timely manner, except for such default
or failure to give notice as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on FAME.
To each Seller's Knowledge, neither Company has received notice of cancellation
or non-renewal of any such policy.

         (b) Neither Company is, and has never been, a member of any protection
and indemnity clubs.

periods indicated therein, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

         3.19 Undisclosed Liabilities. On the Reference Balance Sheet Date, to
each Seller's Knowledge, neither Company had any liability of any nature
(whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) of the type which should
be reflected in balance sheets (including the notes thereto) prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which was not fully
disclosed, reflected or reserved against in the Reference Balance Sheet, except
as disclosed on Schedule 3.19, or as would not have a Material Adverse Effect
on FAME.

         damage (whether or not insured against) on account of fire, flood,
         accident or other calamity which has interfered with or affected, or
         may interfere with or affect, the operation of the business of such
         Company or which is reasonably likely to result in any claim against
         such Company for an amount in excess of $250,000 which is not covered
         by insurance;

                                     -30-

with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than Goldman,
Sachs & Co., and, to each Seller's Knowledge, no other Person is entitled to
any commission or finder's fee in connection with the sale of the Purchased
Shares to Purchaser. Sellers shall pay all fees or commissions due to Goldman,

                  (b)      Such Seller is an "accredited investor" as defined
                           in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act

                           financial and business matters such that such Seller
                           is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
                           investment in the Securities;

                  (d)      Such Seller (i) has been furnished with all such
                           information as such Seller has deemed necessary to
                           make an informed investment decision with respect to
                           the Securities and (ii) has been afforded an

                           deemed appropriate prior to making a decision to

                           otherwise than in compliance with the Securities

                           such security nor any interest therein will be,
                           resold or otherwise disposed of by such Seller
                           unless such security is subsequently registered

                           securities laws or unless SFX receives an opinion of
                           counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that an
                           exemption from registration is applicable.

         3.23 Consents. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.23, no consent,
approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing
with, any Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by
any Seller or either Company in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement or the performance by any Seller of his obligations hereunder,

                                   ARTICLE IV

                  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER

         As an inducement to Sellers to enter into and perform this Agreement,
and in consideration of the covenants of Sellers contained herein, Purchaser
and SFX represent and warrant to Sellers as follows:

         4.1 Corporate Status. Each of Purchaser and SFX is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. Each of the Purchaser and SFX has full corporate power and authority
and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations
and approvals necessary to enable it to use its corporate name and to own,
lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as presently conducted other than such franchises, licenses, permits,
authorizations and approvals the lack of which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser or SFX. Each
of Purchaser and SFX is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in
each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing
or holding of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except where
any such failure would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser or SFX,
individually or in the aggregate. Purchaser and SFX have delivered to Sellers
true and complete copies of the Certificates of Incorporation, as amended to
date, and the By-laws, as in effect on the date hereof, of each of Purchaser
and SFX. Purchaser is, and has been since its formation, a wholly owned direct
subsidiary of SFX and has engaged in no business other than in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby.

         4.2 Authority of Purchaser. Each of Purchaser and SFX has full
corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
perform its respective obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by each of Purchaser and SFX will not conflict
with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute
a default under, any contract, lease, license, franchise, permit, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement or other agreement or instrument to
which Purchaser or SFX is a party or is 


                                     -33-
<PAGE>


bound, their Certificates of Incorporation, By-laws or any applicable Law or
Order to which Purchaser or SFX is a party or by which Purchaser or SFX is
bound.

         4.3 Due Authorization. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
by each of Purchaser and SFX, and the performance by each of Purchaser and SFX
of its respective obligations hereunder, have been duly and validly authorized
and approved by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of Purchaser
and SFX.

         4.4 Enforceability; Conflicts. This Agreement is binding upon, and
enforceable against, each of Purchaser and SFX in accordance with its terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and by principles of equity (whether in a
proceeding at law or in equity). Neither the execution or delivery of this
Agreement by Purchaser or SFX nor the performance by Purchaser or SFX of its
obligations under this Agreement will conflict with or result in a breach of
any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material
contract, lease, license, franchise, permit, indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, note agreement or other material agreement or instrument to which
Purchaser or SFX is a party or is bound or any judgment, order or decree,
statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Purchaser or SFX or
the property or assets of Purchaser or SFX, Purchaser's or SFX's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws or any applicable Law or Order to which Purchaser or
SFX is a party or by which is bound.

         4.5 Consents. No consent, approval, Order or authorization of, or
registration, declaration or filing with, any Authority or any other Person is
required to be obtained or made by either Purchaser or SFX in connection with
its execution and delivery of this Agreement or the performance by it of its
respective obligations hereunder, except for filings under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, if applicable.

         4.6 Broker's or Consultant's Fees. Purchaser represents and warrants
that it has dealt with no broker, finder or consultant in connection with any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to its knowledge, no
other Person is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection with
the sale of the Purchased Shares to Purchaser.

         4.7 Securities. At the Closing, the issuance of the Securities will
have been duly authorized and, upon their issuance pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and will not be subject to any preemptive or similar right.

         4.8 Disclosure. There is no fact known to Purchaser which materially
adversely affects or may affect (so far as can now reasonably be foreseen) the
ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby that
has not been set forth herein or heretofore communicated to Sellers in writing
pursuant hereto.

                                     -34-
<PAGE>

         4.9 SEC Compliance. Since January 1, 1998, SFX has filed with the SEC
each Annual Report on Form 10-K and each other document required to be filed
with the SEC under Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (collectively, the "Reports"). As of their respective dates, the
Reports conformed in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
of the SEC promulgated thereunder. As of their respective dates, none of the
Reports contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

and agents to afford to Purchaser and Purchaser's officers, employees,
auditors, agents and lenders the right at any time prior to the Closing, during

auditors, agents, facilities, books and records as Purchaser reasonably shall
deem necessary or desirable and shall furnish such financial and operating data
and other information with respect to each Company as Purchaser may reasonably
require (including to permit Purchaser to account for the Companies' financial
results on an accrual basis). No such access, examination or review shall in
any way affect, diminish or terminate any of the representations, warranties or
covenants of Sellers set forth herein.

         5.4 Notification of Material Adverse Events. Each Seller agrees to

certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, or (b) other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser's counsel that the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement is exempt from any Taxes which may apply by
reason of Section 897 of the Code, Purchaser shall have the right to withhold
ten percent (10%) of the Cash Purchase Price from such Seller (the "Section
1445 Withholding"), and Purchaser shall pay over the Section 1445 Withholding
to the Internal Revenue Service. The amount of the Section 1445 Withholding
shall be credited against the Cash Purchase Price otherwise due and payable
hereunder by Purchaser to such Seller at the Closing.

         5.7 Exclusivity. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in
accordance with its terms, (a) Sellers shall not, shall cause each Company to

announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by
any party without the prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) of the other parties, except as such release or announcement may be
required by Law, in which case the party required to make the release or
announcement shall allow the other parties reasonable time to comment on such
release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

to cause the Closing to occur.

         would constitute a default by any party to any of such Contracts, and

         and terminated, with no surviving liability or obligation on the part

         certificate therefrom dated as of a recent date; and

                  (l) such other instruments and documents as are: (i) required
         by any other provisions of this Agreement to be delivered on the
         Closing Date by Purchaser to Sellers; or (ii) reasonably necessary, in
         the opinion of Sellers or their counsel, in connection with the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                                OTHER AGREEMENTS

         9.1 Further Assurance. At any time and from time to time from and
after the Closing, Sellers, Purchaser and SFX shall, at the request and expense
of the other parties hereto, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered, such instruments and other documents and
perform or cause to be performed such acts and provide such information, as may
reasonably be required to evidence or effectuate the sale, conveyance,
transfer, assignment and delivery to Purchaser of the Purchased Shares, to
Sellers of the Securities or for the performance by Sellers or Purchaser or SFX
of any of their other respective obligations under this Agreement.

         9.2 Confidentiality.

         (a) The parties hereto agree with respect to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and all information that is furnished or disclosed by the
other parties (collectively, "Confidential Information"), that: (a) such
Confidential Information is confidential and/or proprietary to the
furnishing/disclosing party and entitled to and shall receive treatment as such
by the receiving party; (b) the receiving party shall hold in confidence and
not disclose nor use (except in respect of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement) any such Confidential Information, treating such Confidential
Information with the same degree of care and confidentiality as it accords its
own confidential and proprietary information; provided, however, that the
receiving party shall not have any restrictive obligation with respect to any
Confidential Information which (i) is contained in a printed publication
available to the general public, (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no
wrongful act or omission of the receiving party, or (iii) is known by the
receiving party without any proprietary restrictions by the
furnishing/disclosing party at the time of receipt of such Confidential
Information; and (c) all such Confidential Information furnished to either
party by the other, unless otherwise specified in writing, shall remain the
property of the furnishing/disclosing party, and in the event this Agreement is
terminated, shall be returned to it, together with any and all copies made
thereof, upon request for such return by it (except for documents submitted to
a governmental agency with the consent of the furnishing/disclosing party or
upon subpoena and 


                                     -44-
<PAGE>

which cannot be retrieved with reasonable effort). In addition to and not in
limitation of the foregoing, any information provided to SFX pursuant to this
Agreement shall be held by SFX and its representatives in accordance with, and
shall be subject to the terms of, the confidentiality agreement contained in
the letter dated February 24, 1998 from FAME to SFX (the "Confidentiality
Agreement"), which is hereby incorporated in this Agreement as though fully set
forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term hereof, or the
terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, SFX shall, to the extent, but only to
the extent, required by applicable law and regulation, be entitled to disclose
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or consummated pursuant
hereto in any registration statement (or an amendment thereof) heretofore
filed, or that it may hereafter file, with the SEC, or any periodic report or
other document it is so required to file with the SEC, and, in each case, with
any other government Authority pursuant to applicable state securities law. SFX
shall, to the fullest extent possible, consult with Sellers as to the nature,
extent and precise wording of any such proposed disclosure, give them a
reasonable opportunity to comment thereon and give any such comments
appropriate consideration.

         (b) Each party hereto acknowledges that the remedy at law for any
breach by either party of its obligations under Section 9.2(a) is inadequate
and that the other party shall be entitled to equitable remedies, including an
injunction, in the event of breach of any other party.

         9.3 SFX Guaranty. SFX hereby irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees to Sellers the full and timely performance of all of
Purchaser's obligations, including the delivery of the Cash Purchase Price and
the Earn-out, if any, under this Agreement (the "Guaranty"). The obligations of
SFX contained in this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional without
regard to any defense that would not otherwise be available to SFX if it were
the Purchaser under this Agreement, and shall not be reduced or affected in any
way by any failure or omission to enforce any right against Purchaser, or by
any other action which may in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of
SFX, or which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of SFX;
it being the purpose and intent of SFX and Sellers that (a) this Guaranty and
the obligations of SFX hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any
and all circumstances (except that SFX may assert the defense of performance by
Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement and any right of set-off or
other similar right held by Purchaser against Sellers) and shall not be
discharged except by payment and performance as herein provided, (b) this
Guaranty be construed as a payment guaranty and not as a guaranty of collection
and (c) SFX's liability under this Guaranty shall be primary, and not
secondary. SFX agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights
against SFX and without notice to or further assent by SFX, (1) any demand for
payment of any or all of the sums due under this Agreement may be rescinded by
the party making such demand, and Purchaser's obligations reinstated or
continued, and (2) this Agreement or any related agreements may, from time to
time, in whole or in part, 


                                     -45-
<PAGE>

be renewed, extended, modified, rearranged, consolidated, compromised or
released, without notice to or further assent by SFX, who will remain bound
hereunder notwithstanding any such rescission, renewal, extension,
modification, rearrangement, consolidation, compromise or release.

         SFX waives (i) any defense (other than performance of Purchaser's
obligations under the Agreement and any right of set-off or other similar right
held by Purchaser against Sellers, which may also be asserted by SFX) arising
by reason of any disability, insolvency, lack of authority or power, change in
composition or structure, dissolution or any other defense of Purchaser or SFX
(even though rendering same void, unenforceable or otherwise uncollectible);
and (ii) joinder of Purchaser in any suit or action to enforce this Guaranty,
in particular, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, SFX waives any
right to require Sellers to file suit against Purchaser or take any other
action against Purchaser as a prerequisite to Sellers taking any action or
bringing any suit against SFX under this Guaranty. No failure to exercise nor
any delay in exercising on the part of Sellers any right, power or privilege
hereunder or at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or in equity. This Guaranty
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment of any amounts due under this Agreement is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned to Purchaser on account of any insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of Purchaser, or on account of any preferential
transfer, all as though such payment had never been made. Subject to the
foregoing sentence, this Guaranty shall be released and of no further force and
effect upon the later to occur of the indefeasible (i) delivery of the Cash
Purchase Price and Securities to Sellers and (ii) delivery of the Earn-out, if
any, to Sellers in accordance with the provisions hereof.

         9.4 Benefit Plans. (a) As soon as administratively practicable
following the Closing Date, employees of the Companies shall be entitled to
participate in the pension, benefit, welfare, incentive compensation, sick pay,
severance, vacation, fringe benefit and similar plans of SFX and Purchaser on
substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to similarly situated
employees of SFX and Purchaser, and until such time the employee benefit plans
of the Companies shall remain in effect without adverse amendment. For the
purpose of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual
under the plans of SFX and Purchaser, SFX and Purchaser shall credit years of
service with the Companies (and predecessor entities), as the case may be, as
if such service had been with SFX or its subsidiaries. No employee of the
Companies who elects coverage under a SFX or Purchaser health insurance plan
shall be excluded from coverage under such plan (for such employee or any other
covered person) on the basis of a pre-existing condition that did not exclude
such person from coverage under the Companies' health insurance plans. All
contributions made by employees of the Companies to health insur-


                                     -46-
<PAGE>

ance plans of the Companies during the plan year in which the Closing Date
occurs shall be counted towards satisfying any deductibles or co-payments for
health insurance plans of SFX or the Purchaser during the same plan year.

                  (b) SFX and the Purchaser shall honor in accordance with
their terms all individual compensation contracts entered into by the Companies
with any employees or consultants.

                  (c) FAME shall be permitted to, on or prior to the Closing
Date, enter into employment agreements with the employees of the Companies set
forth on Schedule 5.2(iv) reflecting the terms set forth on such Schedule and
SFX will grant the employee stock options listed thereon.

         9.5 S Corporation Status. None of the Companies, or any of their
shareholders, shall take any action prior to the Closing that would cause
either Company to be disqualified as an S corporation, as that term is defined
in Section 1361(a) of the Code. Neither SFX, the Purchaser, the Companies nor
any of their respective shareholders or Affiliates shall take any action
(including in connection with the filing of returns) inconsistent with the
treatment of the Companies for any period prior to Closing as an S corporation,
as that term is defined in Section 1361(a) of the Code.

         9.6 Code Section 338(h)(10) Election

         (a) Falk and Polk each agree that, if Purchaser notifies Falk and Polk
in writing of its intention to make an election under Section 338(g) or
338(h)(10) of the Code (or any similar election that may be available under
applicable state or local law)(each, a "Section 338(h)(10) Election") within
the time periods set forth in Section 9.7(c) with respect to the Companies,
Falk and Polk shall join with Purchaser in timely making such joint Section
338(h)(10) Election (and in taking all legally required steps to effectuate the
same).

         (b) If a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, the "modified aggregate
deemed sale price", as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1,
shall be determined and allocated in accordance with Section 338 of the Code
and the applicable Treasury Regulations. Attached hereto as Exhibit E is (x) an
estimated Closing Date allocation assuming that the Closing Date is June 15,
1998, (y) an estimate of the Gross-Up, as defined below, and (z) a description
of the methodology used to derive such allocation and such estimate of the
Gross-Up. The parties agree that all allocations and calculations with respect
to any Section 338(h)(10) Election shall be made in the same manner as such
allocation and such estimate of the Gross-Up and shall be based upon such
methodology and the Final Allocation (as defined below) shall be binding upon
the parties, and no such party shall file, or cause to be filed, any Tax
return, or take a position with any taxing authority, that is inconsistent with
the Final Allocation, except, in each case, as otherwise required 



                                     -47-
<PAGE>

pursuant to law or a Proceeding, as defined below, or in connection with any
payment pursuant to Section 2.7.

         (c) Purchaser may, at its discretion cause the Companies to file an
application to change the Companies' method of accounting for Federal income
tax purposes to the accrual method under Revenue Procedure 97-37 for the period
commencing on January 1, 1998, provided that such change is permitted by law
and Purchaser provides notification of such intention within the time period
specified in Section 9.7(c) below (the "January 1 Election"). If the January 1
Election is made, Falk and Polk will cooperate in making the January 1 Election
and if and only if a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made will cause all
relevant Tax returns relating to 1998 to be prepared consistent with the
January 1 Election. The Sellers agree to notify the Purchaser prior to 9:30
a.m. on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date whether the Company
continues to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 of Revenue
Procedure 97-37.

         (d) SFX and Purchaser may pay the Companies in immediately available
federal funds prior to 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date
an amount (the "DC Funds") designated for payment of Taxes of the Companies to
Washington, D.C. In the event that SFX and Purchaser make such payment and
provide written notice with respect thereto to Falk and Polk five Business Days
prior to the Closing Date, then Falk and Polk shall use reasonable efforts to
cause the Companies to pay over the DC Funds to Washington, D.C. on the
Business Day prior to the Closing Date. The DC Funds shall not be used by the
Companies, Falk or Polk prior to Closing for any purpose other than to pay
Taxes of the Companies to Washington, D.C. If the Closing does not occur, the
Company shall not be obligated to return the DC Funds, except to the extent of
any refund thereof that would not have been obtained but for the payment of the
DC Funds to Washington, D.C. Whether or not a Section 338(h)(10) Election is
made, any income and deduction arising by reason of the payment of the DC Funds
shall be deemed to arise by reason of a Section 338(h)(10) Election.

         9.7 Indemnity for, and Payment of, Section 338 Taxes. In the event that
a Section 338(h)(10) Election or the January 1 Election is made:

         (a) Purchaser and SFX agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
each Seller from and against the excess of (i) the sum of (A) all Taxes (taking
into account any Tax benefits actually realized) of such Seller and the
Companies (including any Tax with respect to the deemed asset sale pursuant to
Section 338 of the Code or any similar provision of state or local law and any
Tax arising by reason of the January 1 Election, if any), (B) all additional
Taxes required to be paid by such Seller or the Companies as a result of any
payment (or obligation to make a payment) under this Section 9.7 (taking into
account any Tax benefit to such Seller and the Companies arising from the
payment under this Section 9.7) and (C) any other costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's or accountant's fees) of 



                                     -48-
<PAGE>

such Seller or the Companies incurred in connection with any Proceeding with
respect to a Section 338(h)(10) Election or the January 1 Election over (ii)
all Taxes of such Seller that would have been imposed if such Section
338(h)(10) Election and such January 1 Election, if any, had not been made;
provided, however, that Purchaser and SFX shall not be responsible for any
income Taxes of the Companies arising by reason of Section 1374 of the Code (or
any similar provision under state or local law) with respect to any assets held
by the Companies prior to the Closing;

         (b) Purchaser and SFX agree to pay each Seller, in addition to any
other payment required to be made hereunder, the amount for which the Purchaser
and SFX are responsible under this Section 9.7, (A) in the case of any Tax
(including a Tax arising by reason of a redetermination) of a Seller, two
Business Days prior to the date such Tax is due (except in the case of any Tax
for which Purchaser and SFX are responsible under this Section 9.7 in
connection with a payment pursuant to Section 2.7, which Tax shall be paid to
each Seller on the date such payment pursuant to Section 2.7 is required to be
made) and (B) in the case of any other amount payable by a Seller, within three
Business Days of a written request from the Seller for payment of such amount.
Purchaser and SFX shall satisfy their indemnity obligations with respect to
Taxes of the Companies (as distinguished from Taxes of the Sellers), including
an obligation to make a Gross-Up payment, by paying, or causing to be paid,
such Tax to the applicable taxing authority. Falk and Polk shall pay SFX and
Purchaser the amount of state tax benefit realized by Falk and Polk that would
not have been realized by Falk and Polk but for the payment by SFX and
Purchaser of a state Tax of the Companies pursuant to this Section 9.7, such
that Falk and Polk are in the same economic position (pursuant to Section
9.7(a)) they would have been in had no Section 338(h)(10) Election or January 1
Election been made. SFX and Purchaser shall fund, and Falk and Polk shall have
no obligation to fund, any Tax of the Companies arising by reason of any
Section 338(h)(10) Election or January 1 Election.

         (c) The parties agree that the calculation of the excess described in
Section 9.7(a) (the "Gross-Up") shall be made in the same manner as the
allocation, estimate of the Gross-Up and methodology contained in Exhibit E,
except to the extent that such Exhibit does not take into account actual Taxes,
costs and expenses. The Sellers shall deliver to SFX a written statement, in
reasonable detail, setting forth their calculation of the Closing Date
allocation and the Gross-Up (the "Pre-Closing Statement") at least ten days
prior to the Closing Date. In the event that SFX disagrees with the Pre-Closing
Statement, (I) the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute
and (II) in the event that the parties have not resolved their dispute within
four days of receipt by SFX of the Pre-Closing Statement, the dispute shall be
resolved by a neutral arbitrator (who shall be a nationally recognized
accounting firm experienced in such tax matters) (the "Tax Arbitrator") within
nine days of receipt by SFX of the Pre-Closing Statement (the Pre-Closing
Statement or the Tax Arbitrator's determination, if any, the "Closing Date
Allocation"). The Tax Arbitrator shall be mutually selected by the parties;
provided, however, 



                                     -49-
<PAGE>

that if the parties do not mutually agree on such a selection, the Tax
Arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. Within 30
days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide to SFX any adjustments to
the Closing Date Allocation required by reason of differences between amounts
known as of the Closing Date and amounts known at the time such adjustments are
so provided. Falk, Polk, SFX and Purchaser shall agree in writing on any
adjustments to the Closing Date Allocation required by reason of differences
between amounts known as of the Closing Date and amounts known at the time of
such agreement. Any dispute with respect to the adjustment shall be resolved by
the Tax Arbitrator; provided, however, that the issues to be decided by the Tax
Arbitrator shall be limited to the adjustment. The Closing Date Allocation, as
so adjusted shall be the "Final Allocation." Within ten days of agreement in
writing on the Final Allocation, Purchaser and SFX shall notify Falk and Polk
whether Purchaser intends to make a Section 338(h)(10) Election and whether
Purchaser intends to make the January 1 Election. Within a reasonable period
prior to filing any Tax return, Falk and Polk shall advise SFX and Purchaser
whether the calculation of the Gross-Up in the Final Allocation is accurate
(and, if inaccurate, Falk's and Polk's revised calculation of the Gross-Up)
based on the facts and law known and existing at the time such return is to be
filed; provided, however, that, in the absence of a relevant change in law
after the date of the Final Allocation, Falk and Polk shall not be entitled to
provide any such revised calculation of the Gross-Up, which revision is based
on the grounds that the Final Allocation reflects a position of Tax law
different from the position that Falk and Polk would like to take on such Tax
return. SFX and Purchaser shall pay Falk and Polk the Gross-Up based on Falk's
and Polk's calculation within the time period specified in Section 9.7(b);
provided, however, that if SFX and Purchaser disagree with Falk's and Polk's
calculation of the Gross-Up at such time, the parties shall attempt in good
faith to resolve the dispute and, failing that, the dispute shall be resolved
by the Tax Arbitrator and any appropriate adjusting payment between the parties
shall be made upon resolution of such dispute; provided, further, however, that
notwithstanding any other provision, if such dispute has not been resolved
prior to the due date of such Tax return, SFX and Purchaser shall pay Falk and
Polk the Gross-Up reflected in the Final Allocation at the time specified in
Section 9.7(b). Any additional amounts owed pursuant to Section 9.7(a) shall be
paid pursuant to Section 9.7(b);

         (d) The costs of any Tax Arbitrator shall be borne by the party losing
such arbitration. The Tax Arbitrator shall determine which party has lost such
arbitration; and

         (e) SFX and Purchaser agree that their obligations pursuant to this
Section 9.7 are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable
discharge of SFX or Purchaser other than a payment in full of their obligations
pursuant to this Section 9.7. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, SFX and Purchaser agree that Sellers may
enforce such obligations not-



                                     -50-
<PAGE>

withstanding the existence of any dispute among the parties hereunder and such
obligations of SFX and Purchaser shall be valid and enforceable and shall not
be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination
for any reason (other than payment in full of such obligations), including by
reason of the assertion of any defense, set-off or counterclaim.

         9.8 Additional Tax Matters

         (a) Indemnity by Falk and Polk. Subject to the limitation provided in
Section 10.2, Falk agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser,
SFX and the Companies from and against 85 percent of, and Polk agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, SFX and the Companies from
and against 15 percent of, the following Taxes:

                  (i) Adjustment Taxes with respect to Pre-Closing Periods, as
defined below, including Taxes arising by reason of the failure of the
Companies to qualify as S corporations for federal income Tax purposes for any
period prior to the Closing Date (provided that SFX, Purchaser and the
Companies comply with their respective covenants in the second sentence of
Section 9.5),

                  (ii) income Taxes of the Companies with respect to any
taxable period of the Companies ending the day before the Closing Date or the
portion ending the day before the Closing Date of a Straddle Period, and

                  (iii) income Taxes of the Companies with respect to a taxable
period beginning on or after the Closing Date (or the portion, beginning on or
after the Closing Date, of a Straddle Period) that would not have arisen but
for a Code Section 481 adjustment (or a similar adjustment under state or local
law) resulting from a change in method of accounting made prior to the Closing
by a Company at the direction of Falk and Polk (and not SFX and Purchaser)
other than any Section 481 adjustment resulting from the January 1 Election,
any Section 338(h)(10) Election or the acquisition of the Purchased Shares
hereunder;

provided, however, that Falk and Polk shall not so indemnify, defend or hold
harmless the Purchaser, SFX or the Companies with respect to

                  (i) any amounts for which the Purchaser and SFX are
responsible pursuant to Section 9.7 nor

                  (ii) any Taxes reflected as a liability or reserve on the
Reference Balance Sheet.



                                     -51-
<PAGE>

         (b) Indemnification by SFX and Purchaser. SFX and Purchaser agree to
hold the Sellers harmless from and against the following Taxes:

                  (i) any Taxes of the Companies with respect to any taxable
period of the Companies beginning on the Closing Date and the portion beginning
on the Closing Date of a Straddle Period, and

                  (ii) any Tax on any Section 481 adjustment resulting from the
acquisition of the Purchased Shares hereunder (including any such adjustment
resulting from the conversion of the Companies from S corporations to
corporations taxable under Subchapter C of the Code or any comparable provision
of state or local law, any change by the Companies from the cash to the accrual
method of accounting in connection with such acquisition or any Section
338(h)(10) Election or the January 1 Election) and any Section 481 adjustment
of the Companies resulting from a change in method of accounting made at the
direction of SFX or Purchaser.

         (c) Definitions.

                  (i) "Adjustment Taxes" shall mean the excess of (i) any Taxes
of the Companies payable after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing
Period (including income Taxes of the Companies arising by reason of Section
1374 of the Code with respect to any assets held by the Companies prior to the
Closing) that would not have arisen but for an audit or other adjustment by the
IRS or other taxing authority over (ii) any Tax benefits to the Companies, SFX,
the Purchaser or any of their Affiliates resulting from an adjustment giving
rise to such Taxes.

                  (ii) "Controlling Party" shall mean (A) Falk and Polk for any
Proceeding relating to a taxable period that ends prior to the Closing Date,
including any such taxable period with respect to which a Section 338(h)(10)
Election has been made; provided, however, that in the event that Falk and Polk
so elect with respect to such a taxable period, Purchaser and SFX shall be the
Controlling Party with respect to such a taxable period and (B) Purchaser and
SFX for any Proceeding relating to a taxable period that includes but does not
end on the day prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Companies or any
taxable period that begins on the Closing Date with respect to the Companies.

                  (iii) "Noncontrolling Party" shall mean (A) Falk and Polk in
the case of Proceedings with respect to which Purchaser and SFX are the
Controlling Party and (B) Purchaser and SFX in the case of Proceedings with
respect to which Falk and Polk are the Controlling Party.

                  (iv) "Pre-Closing Period" shall mean a taxable period ending
prior to the Closing Date and the portion, ending on the day prior to the
Closing Date, of a Straddle Period.

                                     -52-
<PAGE>

                  (v) "Straddle Period" shall mean a taxable period that
includes the day prior to the Closing Date and does not end prior to the
Closing Date.

         (d) Allocation of Taxes. In the case of a Straddle Period, (i) Taxes
other than income or franchise Taxes shall be allocated on a per diem basis and
(ii) income or franchise Taxes shall be allocated based on an interim closing
of the books. Tax items with respect to the S termination year of each Company,
within the meaning of Section 1362(e) of the Code, shall be allocated based on
an interim closing of the books. The parties agree to make the election
provided in Section 1362(e)(3) of the Code, if necessary, to avoid the
application of Section 1362(e)(2) of the Code.

         (e) Right to Refunds. Sellers shall be entitled to any credits or
refunds of Taxes of either Company relating to any Pre-Closing Period (other
than Taxes which are excluded from the indemnification hereunder). The amount
of any credit or refund to which Sellers are entitled hereunder but which at
any time subsequent to the Closing Date is received by or credited to
Purchaser, or any Affiliate of Purchaser, shall be promptly paid over to
Sellers following such receipt or the utilization by Purchaser or Affiliate of
such credit, as the case may be.

         (f) Termination of Falk and Polk Tax Indemnity. The obligation of Falk
and Polk, respectively, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless pursuant to this
Section 9.8 shall terminate on the earlier of the sixth anniversary of the
Closing Date and the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations;
provided, however, that such indemnity obligation shall survive with respect to
any Tax which the applicable taxing authority has identified in writing
pursuant to a Proceeding as potentially subject to adjustment.

         (g) Preparation of Tax Returns.

                  (i) Sellers shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall
file or cause to be filed, with the reasonable assistance and cooperation of
the Companies, Purchaser and SFX, any income Tax return of, or which includes,
a Company for any Pre-Closing Period (including a Straddle Period and any
period with respect to which any Section 338(h)(10) Election is made). Such Tax
returns shall be prepared and filed consistent with the past practice of the
Companies.

                  (ii) Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and
shall file or cause to be filed, any other Tax return of the Companies (except
for any return filed in connection with a Proceeding, as defined below,
controlled by Falk and Polk). Any such Tax return that includes a Pre-Closing
Period shall be prepared and filed consistent with the past practice of the
Companies, except to the extent that such past practice does not have
substantial authority.

                  (h) Cooperation. Sellers, on the one hand, and the Companies,
SFX and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall provide each other with
reasonable coopera-


                                     -53-
<PAGE>

tion and assistance in connection with the preparation of any Tax return, audit
or other examination by any taxing authority, any judicial or administrative
proceedings relating to liability for Taxes (including refunds) and shall each
provide to the other any records or information relevant to such return, audit
or examination, proceedings or determination as are in their possession or
subject to their control; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other
provision hereunder, none of the Companies, the Purchaser, SFX or any other
Person (other than the Tax Arbitrator) shall have any right to receive or
obtain any information relating to, or have any rights with respect to, any
Taxes or Tax returns of any of the Sellers, and the Sellers shall not have the
right to Tax returns of Purchaser or SFX.

         9.9 Tax Contests.

         (a) Purchaser and SFX shall promptly notify Falk and Polk upon receipt
of notice of any Tax audit or any proposed assessment relating to a Company if
such audit or proposed assessment could give rise to a claim against Falk and
Polk for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.8 and shall thereafter promptly
forward to Falk and Polk copies of any communications received from or sent to
any taxing authority by Purchaser and SFX or either Company in connection with
any such audit or proceeding (a "Proceeding"); provided, however, that the
failure of Purchaser and SFX to give Falk and Polk such prompt notice or to
forward such communications as required herein shall not relieve Falk and Polk
of any obligations under Section 9.8, except to the extent that Falk and Polk
are actually prejudiced thereby.

         (b) In the case of any Proceeding with respect to a Company, the
Controlling Party shall be entitled to appoint as lead counsel any legal
counsel of its choice and shall control, at its expense, the conduct of the
Proceeding; provided, however, that in the case of any such Proceeding, (i) the
Controlling Party shall provide the Noncontrolling Party with a timely and
reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Proceeding and a copy of the
portions of all documents relating to such Proceeding which are relevant to any
Tax for which the Noncontrolling Party may be required to indemnify or may
otherwise be liable, (ii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the
Noncontrolling Party before taking any significant action in connection with
such Proceeding that might adversely affect the Noncontrolling Party, (iii) the
Controlling Party shall consult with the Noncontrolling Party and offer the
Noncontrolling Party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written
materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Proceeding (including,
to the extent practicable, any documents furnished to the applicable taxing
authority in connection with any discovery request) to the extent such
materials concern matters in such Proceeding that could adversely affect the
Noncontrolling Party, (iv) the Controlling Party shall defend such Proceeding
diligently and in good faith as if the Controlling Party were the only party in
interest in connection with such Proceeding and the Noncontrolling Party shall
reasonably facilitate to the extent requested by the Controlling Party, and
shall not impede, such Proceeding, (v) the Controlling Party 


                                     -54-
<PAGE>

shall not (except in the case of any Proceeding with respect to a Pre-Closing
Period that ends prior to the Closing Date if Falk and Polk are the Controlling
Party) settle, compromise or abandon any such Proceeding without obtaining the
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the
Noncontrolling Party if such settlement, compromise or abandonment might have
an adverse impact on the Noncontrolling Party; (vi) in the event that Falk and
Polk have elected to appoint SFX and Purchaser as the Controlling Party
pursuant to the proviso in Section 9.8(c)(ii)(A) and if SFX and Purchaser lose
such Proceeding, Falk and Polk shall reimburse SFX and Purchaser for 90 percent
of the out-of-pocket costs incurred by SFX and Purchaser in connection with
such Proceeding (to the extent such costs are properly attributable to the Tax
in connection with such Proceeding for which Falk and Polk are responsible
hereunder) but not in excess of 20 percent of the amount of the Tax for which
Falk and Polk are responsible in connection with such Proceeding; (vii)
notwithstanding any other provision, SFX and Purchaser shall bear any cost in
connection with a Proceeding to the extent such cost is properly attributable
to the Tax in connection with such Proceeding for which SFX and Purchaser are
responsible pursuant to Section 9.7 and (viii) in the event Falk and Polk are
acting as the Controlling Party, they shall promptly notify Purchaser and SFX
of any issue raised in connection with an audit for which Falk and Polk will
not be liable if the contest shall prove unsuccessful and shall offer SFX and
Purchaser the opportunity to participate fully in the Proceeding to the extent
the Proceeding relates to the issues for which Sellers will not be liable. In
the event that the Noncontrolling Party reasonably withholds consent pursuant
to clause (v) above, the Noncontrolling Party may assume the defense of the
Proceeding at its expense and the Controlling Party's liability with respect
thereto shall not exceed the amount of liability that the Controlling Party
would have had under the proposed settlement.


                                   ARTICLE X

                                INDEMNIFICATION

         10.1 Indemnification by Sellers. Each Seller, severally and not
jointly agrees with respect to Sections 3.2 and 3.22 and Falk and Polk jointly
and severally with each other, agree, and Higgins, individually, agrees, with
respect to Section 3.4 and Section 10.1(b), to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Purchaser and SFX and all their respective officers, directors,
shareholders, employees and agents after the Closing Date from and against any
liability, obligation, loss, Lien, cost, damage and expense (including
reasonable legal and accounting fees incurred in defending or prosecuting any
claim for any such liability, loss or damage) arising out of or resulting from:

                  (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or
         warranty contained in Section 3.2, 3.4, or 3.22 of this Agreement or
         the Schedules related thereto; or

                                     -55-
<PAGE>

                  (b) any brokers' commissions, finders' fees or other like
         payments incurred or alleged to have been incurred by such Seller in
         connection with the sale of any of the Purchased Shares or the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         10.2 Limitation on Indemnification. The amount of liability of Sellers
arising out of the indemnifications provided for in Section 10.1 and Section
9.8 shall be subject to the limitation that no Seller shall have any liability
under any provisions of Section 10.1 and Section 9.8 until the aggregate of all
losses, liabilities, obligations, Liens, damages, costs and expenses relating
thereto for which Sellers would but for this Section 10.2 be liable exceeds
$100,000 (other than for breach of a representation and warranty contained in
Section 3.2 as to which there shall be no such threshold) in which event
Sellers shall be liable for all of such losses, liabilities, costs and
expenses; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the liability
of Sellers arising out of the indemnifications provided for in Section 10.1 and
Section 9.8 exceed $12,500,000. In addition, no claims for indemnification
under Section 10.1 may be made on the basis of the matter referred to on
Schedule 10.2.

         10.3 Indemnification by Purchaser and SFX. Purchaser and SFX agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller after the Closing Date from and
against any liability, obligation, loss, Lien, cost, damage and expense
(including reasonable legal and accounting fees incurred in defending or
prosecuting any claim for any such liability, loss or damage) arising out of or
resulting from:

         (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of
Purchaser or SFX contained in this Agreement (or in any document, writing or
certificate delivered by Purchaser under this Agreement), or the failure by
Purchaser or SFX to perform any of its respective covenants or obligations
hereunder; or

         (b) any brokers' commissions, finders' fees or other like payments
incurred or alleged to have been incurred by Purchaser in connection with the
purchase of the Purchased Shares or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement;

         10.4 Specific Breaches. The breach of a specific representation,
warranty, or agreement by Sellers or Purchaser or SFX, as applicable, shall be
determined whether or not, apart from such specific representation, warranty or
agreement, the transactions provided for in this Agreement prove to be more
favorable to SFX or Purchaser or Sellers, as applicable, and whether or not the
facts and circumstances covered by any one or more of the other
representations, warranties or agreements made by Sellers or Purchaser prove to
be more favorable than so represented and warranted.

         10.5 Procedure for Indemnification. If any Person shall claim
indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") hereunder for any claim other than a
third party claim, 


                                     -56-
<PAGE>

the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice to the other party
from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the nature
and amount of the claim. If an Indemnified Party shall claim indemnification
hereunder arising from any claim or demand of a third party, the Indemnified
Party shall promptly give written notice (a "Third-Party Notice") to the
Indemnifying Party of the basis for such claim or demand, setting forth the
nature of the claim or demand in detail. With respect to any notice, no delay
on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall
relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced. The Indemnifying
Party shall have the right to compromise or, if appropriate, defend at its own
cost and through counsel of its own choosing reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, any claim or demand giving rise to any such claim for
indemnification. In the event the Indemnifying Party undertakes to compromise
or defend any such claim or demand, it shall promptly (and in any event, no
later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Third-Party Notice) notify the
Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so and shall give the
Indemnifying Party such security in that regard as the Indemnified Party
reasonably may request. The Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense or compromise of such claim
or demand. After the assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party, in connection with such
defense, but the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own
expense; provided, however, that if such Indemnified Party shall have been
advised by counsel that representation of such Indemnified Party by counsel
provided by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential conflicting interests between such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party, including situations in which there are one or more legal
defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different or in addition
to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnifying Party
shall remain liable for such expenses. No settlement of a third party claim or
demand defended by the Indemnifying Party shall be made without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of a judgment or
settlement which (i) is for other than solely money damages or (ii) does not
include as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all
liability in respect of such third party claim or demand.

         10.6 Survivability of Indemnity. The indemnities contained in Section
10.1 shall expire on that date which is six months after the Closing Date,
except with respect to claims under Section 3.2 as to which the indemnification
obligation shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of any
applicable statute of limitations; provided, that if at the stated expiration
of any indemnification obligation there shall then be pending any
indemnification claim by a Person, such Person shall 


                                     -57-
<PAGE>

continue to have the right to such indemnification with respect to such claim
notwithstanding such expiration.

         10.7 Payment. Except for third-party claims being defended in good
faith by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 10.5, the
Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations hereunder within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of notice of a claim. Any amount not paid to the Indemnified
Party by such date shall bear interest at a rate equal to nine percent (9%) per
annum from the date due until the date paid.


                                   ARTICLE XI

                                  TERMINATION

         11.1 Rights to Terminate. This Agreement may be terminated at any
time prior to the Closing only as follows:

                  (a) by mutual written consent of Sellers and Purchaser;

                  (b) by Falk or by Purchaser if, at or before July 15, 1998,
         any condition set forth herein (other than the conditions set forth in
         Sections 6.1(g) and 7.1(e)) for the benefit of Sellers or Purchaser,
         respectively, shall not have been timely met and shall have become
         incapable of fulfillment on or before July 15, 1998 and shall not have
         been waived; or

                  (c) by Purchaser or Falk if the Closing shall not have
         occurred on or before July 15, 1998; provided, however, that if the
         sole reason or reasons for the failure of the Closing to have occurred
         on or before July 15, 1998 is the failure of the waiting period
         required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act in respect of the transactions
         contemplated hereby to have expired or been terminated, or any other
         approvals required thereunder to have been obtained, or the failure to
         have obtained any other approval or consent of any governmental
         Authority that is required in respect thereof, then, in any such
         event, this Agreement may not be terminated by Purchaser or Falk as at
         July 15, 1998, but either may do so if the Closing shall not have
         occurred on or before September 15, 1998.

                  Each party's right of termination hereunder is in addition to
any of the rights it may have hereunder or otherwise.

                  11.2 Effects of Termination. Notwithstanding any other
         provision of this Agreement, no termination of this Agreement shall
         release (i) any party of any liabilities or obligations arising
         hereunder for any willful breaches of any covenants made herein or
         (ii) any party from its obligations under Section 12.12.

         Seller's right, title and interest under that certain lease of the

         2. ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. At the Closing, the Buyer shall assume,
and agree to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, all of the obligations and

<PAGE>

                                      -3-

any of the foregoing related to the Excluded Assets (it being agreed, however,
that such exclusion shall not apply to any of the foregoing obligations and
liabilities which shall exist as of the Closing Date related to the Excluded
Assets under Sections 1.2(a) and (g) hereof, and under Section 1.2(h) in the
event the Harborlights Assets are Excluded Assets, which obligations and
liabilities shall be included in the Assumed Obligations).

         3. PURCHASE PRICE.

         3.1. Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Acquired
Assets shall equal $80,000,000, subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 3.3 hereof, plus the amount of the Assumed Obligations (the "Purchase
Price"). SFX shall cause the Purchase Price (other than the Assumed
Obligations) to be paid by the Buyer as follows: (a) $100,000 has been paid by
the Buyer as a non-refundable deposit ("Deposit") upon the execution of this
Agreement (which Deposit is non-refundable under all circumstances); (b) a
portion of the balance of the Purchase Price, in an amount not less than
$64,000,000 (plus the amount of any positive Net Working Capital Amount (as
defined in Section 3.3(b) hereof)), as determined by the Buyer within ten (10)
days prior to the Closing, shall be paid at the Closing by certified or bank
check or wire transfer pursuant to wire transfer instructions furnished by the
Seller (such portion being referred to herein as the "Cash Portion"); and (c)
in the event that the Buyer elects not to pay the entire Purchase Price in cash
as provided in clause (b) above (such portion not so paid being referred to

certificates for which shall bear a usual and customary legend restricting
transfer under securities laws, and a legend denoting restrictions under the
Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in Section 5.4 hereof)), determined
as hereinafter provided. The number of shares of Class A Stock (the "Stock
Portion") shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Non-Cash
Portion, by (ii) $30.0875 (the "Per Share Price"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Purchase Price and the Cash Portion may be reduced in accordance
with Section 5.9 hereof.

         3.2. Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be
allocated among the Acquired Assets in the manner mutually determined by the
Seller and the Buyer prior to the Closing; provided, that in all events, the
allocation of the Purchase Price shall be consistent (in a manner reasonably
acceptable to Mugar MLW LLC) with the valuations used to adjust the bases of
property under Sections 743(b) and 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), upon the transfer of membership interests in the Seller
to Mugar MLW LLC in October 1997. At the Closing, the Buyer and the Seller
shall duly execute and deliver certificate setting forth the foregoing
allocation (the "Allocation Certificate"). The Buyer and the Seller shall
report the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets, including,

<PAGE>
                                      -4-

without limitation, in all federal, foreign, state, local and other tax returns
prepared and filed by or for either of the Buyer or the Seller, in accordance
with the basis set forth in the Allocation Certificate.

         3.3. Adjustment to Purchase Price.

              (a) If (i) the Net Working Capital Amount (as determined in
         accordance with Section 3.3(b) hereof) is a negative number, the
         Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be reduced by the amount
         thereof, and (ii) the Net Working Capital Amount is a positive number,
         the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be increased by the
         amount thereof. Any increase or decrease in the Purchase Price in
         accordance with this Section 3.3 shall be made to the Cash Portion.

              (b) Within ten (10) days prior to the Closing, the Seller shall
         cause to be prepared and delivered to the Buyer (i) a pro forma
         balance sheet of the Seller (the "Closing Balance Sheet") as of the
         close of business on the Closing Date (referred to herein as the
         "Calculation Date"), prepared in accordance with GAAP (as defined in
         Section 11 hereof), and (ii) a certificate of the chief financial
         officer of the Seller, certifying (A) that the Closing Balance Sheet
         was prepared on the basis described in clause (i) above, and (B) the
         amount of Net Working Capital (as defined in Section 11 hereof) of the
         Seller as of the Calculation Date (the "Net Working Capital Amount").
         The Buyer shall have five (5) days after its receipt of the Closing
         Balance Sheet (the "Review Period") to review same and the Seller's
         calculation of the Net Working Capital Amount, and to notify the
         Seller of its agreement or disagreement with Seller's calculation of
         the Net Working Capital Amount. If the Buyer does not notify the
         Seller within the Review Period that it disagrees with all or any part
         of the Seller's calculation of the Net Working Capital Amount, then
         the Net Working Capital Amount so determined by the Seller shall be
         deemed conclusive and binding upon the parties for all purposes of
         this Agreement. If, however, the Buyer objects in a timely manner as
         aforesaid, then the parties shall promptly endeavor to agree, within
         the five (5) day period prior to the Closing (the "Resolution
         Period"), on the disputed portion of the Net Working Capital Amount
         (the "Disputed Amount"). If the Buyer and the Seller are unable during
         the Resolution Period to agree on the Disputed Amount, then an amount
         of cash equal to the Disputed Amount shall be deposited into escrow by
         the Buyer pursuant to a mutually agreeable escrow agreement pending
         resolution of the Disputed Amount as follows. Within ten (10) days
         after the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer shall select a nationally
         recognized independent accounting firm (other than the Seller's
         independent accountants and the Buyer's independent accountants) to
         resolve the Disputed Amount, which firm shall conclusively resolve the
         Disputed Amount within thirty (30) days thereafter. Upon resolution of
         the Disputed Amount by such accounting

<PAGE>
                                      -5-


         firm, the Disputed Amount shall either be retained by the Buyer or
         remitted to the Seller, as appropriate. The fees and expenses of such
         accounting firm shall be paid jointly by the Buyer and the Seller.

         4. CLOSING.

         4.1. Time and Place. The closing of the purchase and sale of the
Acquired Assets (the "Closing") shall be held at the offices of Bingham Dana

or by general principles of equity.

         6.4. Non-Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery by the
Seller of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, nor the
consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated thereby, will
constitute a violation of, or be in conflict with, or constitute or create a
default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim or
encumbrance upon any property of the Seller which would have a Material Adverse
Effect pursuant to, (a) the Operating Agreement, (b) except as disclosed on
Schedule 6.5 hereto, any material agreement or commitment to which the Seller
is a party or by which the Seller or any of its properties is bound or any of
such properties is subject or (c) subject to any required consents, approvals,
authorizations, registrations, qualifications or filings disclosed in Section
6.5 hereof, any statute or any judgment, decree, order, regulation or rule of
any court or governmental authority or third Person applicable to the Seller.

         6.5. Consents and Approvals. Subject to the expiration of any waiting
period under the HSR Act, and except as disclosed on Schedule 6.5 hereto, no
consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, designation,

the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, or for the
consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Seller's unaudited financial statements for its fiscal year ended December 31,
1997 (the "Financial Statements"), copies of which are attached hereto as

Statements fairly presents the results of operations of the Seller for the
3-month period ended December 31, 1997.

Buyer and SFX of the Transaction Documents to which each is a party, nor the
consummation by the Buyer and SFX of the transactions contemplated thereby,
will constitute a violation of, or be in conflict with, or constitute or create
a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any liens, claim or
encumbrances upon any of the respective property of the Buyer or SFX which
would have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect pursuant to (a) the respective
charter documents or By-laws of the Buyer and SFX, each as amended to date; (b)

Seller, if and when issued to the Seller in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, and not subject to any options, warrants, preemptive rights of
other statutory or contract rights of any Person.

         7.6. Litigation. No action, suit, proceeding or investigation is
pending or, to the knowledge of the Buyer and SFX, threatened, against the
Buyer or SFX, which might materially and adversely affect the ability of the
Buyer or SFX to enter into the Transaction Documents to which each is a party
and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

         7.7. SEC Filings. SFX has made all filings (collectively, the "Public

prospects or financial condition of SFX.

information disclosed by the Buyer to the Seller or the Members regarding the

instituted against or made

<PAGE>
                                     -30-

upon the Indemnified Party by any third party for which the Indemnified Party
may seek indemnification hereunder (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified
Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim
and of the Indemnified Party's claim of indemnification with respect thereto.
The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice
to notify the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume
the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to
assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled at its own expense to conduct and control the defense and settlement
of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its own choosing; provided, that
the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim
with its own counsel at its own expense; and provided, further, that the
Indemnifying Party, if it shall have so assumed such defense, shall concede, as
between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, liability to the
Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying
Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the Indemnified Party's notice of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party
Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (so long as the Third Party
Claim is one with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is responsible under
this Section 15), provided that the Indemnified Party may not settle any Third
Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party's consent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         15.4. Limitations on Indemnification.

              (a) No Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify an
         Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the aggregate
         amount of Damages for which the Indemnified Party is otherwise
         entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 15 hereof exceeds
         $100,000 (the "Minimum Amount") (it being understood and agreed that
         the Minimum Amount is intended as an aggregate deductible, and the
         Seller and the Members collectively on the one hand, and the Buyer and
         SFX collectively on the other hand, shall not be liable collectively
         for the Minimum Amount of Damages for which the others are otherwise
         entitled to indemnification). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any
         Damages suffered by the Buyer arising from any breach by the Seller of
         the representation and warranty contained in Section 6.12 hereof, and
         (ii) any Damages suffered by an Indemnified Party arising from any
         breach by an Indemnifying Party of any covenant or obligation under
         this Agreement (including, without limitation, the obligations of the
         Buyer and SFX under Sections 15.2(b), 15.2(c) and 17 hereof, and the
         obligations of the Seller and the Members under Section 15.1(b)

              (b) Subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) below, notwithstanding
         anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 15, the aggregate
         amount of Damages payable by the Seller and the Members pursuant to
         Section 15 hereof with respect to all claims for indemnification shall
         not exceed five percent (5%) of the entire Purchase Price paid to the
         Seller, except with respect to claims relating to (i) any breach of
         the representation and warranty contained in Section 6.12 hereof, and
         (ii) the Excluded Assets, which shall be limited to the entire
         Purchase Price paid to the Seller (as the same may be reduced by the
         amount of any Damages paid by the Seller and the Members to the Buyer
         under this Section 15), and shall not be subject to the limitations
         set forth in this Section 15.4(b).

              (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
         Section 15, the maximum liability of any Member with respect to any

         (as hereinafter defined) of the aggregate liability of the Seller and
         all of the Members, as specifically provided in Section 15.4(b)
         hereof, with respect to such claim. For purposes hereof, a Member's
         "Pro Rata Share" shall be the percentage set forth opposite such
         Member's name on Schedule B hereto.

              (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
         Section 15, no action or claim for Damages pursuant to this Section 15
         shall be brought or asserted by an Indemnified Party against an
         Indemnifying Party after the first anniversary of the Closing Date,
         except for (i) any action or claim for Damages brought by the Buyer
         against the Seller or the Members arising from or with respect to (A)
         any breach of the representation and warranty contained in Section
         6.12 hereof, and (B) the Excluded Assets, or (ii) any action or claim
         for Damages brought by the Seller and/or the Members against the Buyer
         or SFX arising from or with respect to (A) the Buyer's conduct of the
         Business or use of the Acquired Assets from and after the Closing
         Date, (B) the Assumed Obligations or (C) SFX's and the Buyer's
         obligations under Section 17 hereof, all of which actions or claims
         set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above may be brought until the
         expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation.

              (e) All Damages paid by the Seller and the Members to the Buyer
         under this Section 15 shall be payable, at the option of the Seller
         and the Members, in cash and shares of Class A Stock pro rata in
         accordance with the relative proportion of the Cash Portion to the
         Stock Portion. For purposes hereof, each share of Class A Stock paid
         to the Buyer by the Seller and the Members as aforesaid shall be
         valued at the fair market value thereof as of the time the payment
         thereof is finally determined to be owing to the Buyer under this
         Section 15.

         15.5. Expiration of Representations and Warranties; Scope of Seller's
and Members' Liability. Each of the representations and warranties of the
parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the last day on which
any action or claim for breach of such representation or warranty may be
brought or asserted pursuant to Section 15.4(d) hereof (the "Expiration Date").
The Buyer and SFX acknowledge and agree that the Buyer's and SFX's sole remedy
against the Seller and the Members for any matter arising out of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement is set forth in Section 15.1 hereof
and that, except to the extent the Buyer has asserted a claim for
indemnification prior to the applicable Expiration Date, the Buyer and SFX
shall have not remedy against the Seller or the Members for any breach of a
representation or warranty, covenant or obligation made by them in this
Agreement. The Seller, the Members, the Buyer and SFX agree that the purpose of
this Section 15.5 is to make it clear that the Seller and the Members are to
have no liability whatsoever to the Buyer or SFX, except as set forth in
Section 15.1 hereof, and accordingly agree that this Section 15.5 is to be
construed broadly. The Buyer and SFX acknowledge that this Section 15.5 has
been negotiated fully by the Buyer, SFX, the Seller and the Members, and that
the Seller and the Members would not have entered into this Agreement but for
the inclusion of this Section 15.5.

         16. RIGHT TO TERMINATE. In the event that the Closing does not occur
on or before July 1, 1998 (or August 1, 1998 in the event the Closing is
extended by the Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof), either the Seller on the
one hand, or the Buyer (or SFX) on the other hand, may terminate this Agreement
at any time after the close of business on such date by delivering written
notice to the other party, so long as such failure to close is not a result of
a breach by the terminating party of any of its obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that all of the respective
conditions to Closing of the parties have been satisfied by July 1, 1998, but
the waiting period under the HSR Act (the "HSR Waiting Period") shall not have
expired or been earlier terminated, then the parties shall execute and deliver
all agreements, documents and instruments required to be executed and delivered
under this Agreement (which shall be undated and thereafter dated the actual
Closing Date), and shall hold all of such agreements, documents and instruments
in escrow under mutually agreeable terms and conditions, pending the expiration
of the HSR Waiting Period; provided, that if the HSR Waiting Period shall not
have expired as of September 15, 1998, the Seller and the Buyer shall
thereafter have the right to terminate this Agreement as hereinabove provided.

         17. RELEASE OF PERSONAL GUARANTIES. SFX and the Buyer agree that they
will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause, within sixty (60) days
after the Closing Date, each of Law and Wolf to be released with no liability
from any and all personal guaranties of the obligations of the Seller to which
they are parties (the "Personal Guaranties"). SFX and the Buyer, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Law and Wolf from and
against any Damages suffered by Law and Wolf under or in respect of the
Personal Guaranties in the event

<PAGE>
                                     -33-

that SFX and the Buyer are unable to cause Law and Wolf to be released from the
Personal Guaranties as aforesaid.

         18. GENERAL

         18.1. Expenses. All expenses of the preparation, execution and
consummation of this Agreement and of the transactions contemplated hereby,

Seller or the Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that
(i) SFX shall be responsible or all brokerage commissions owing to Richard
Foreman, all real estate title costs and expenses, and all fees and expenses of
Ernst & Young, (ii) the Seller shall be responsible for all real estate
transfer taxes, and (iii) SFX and the Seller shall share equally all HSR Act

         18.10. Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. The Seller, the Buyer and
SFX will use their reasonable efforts in good faith to cause the satisfaction
of the conditions precedent contained in this Agreement; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Section 18.10 shall obligate either party hereto
to waive any right or condition under this Agreement.

                          PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT


       This PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered
into this 22 day of April, 1998, by and among OAKDALE CONCERTS, LLC
("Oakdale"), a Connecticut Limited Liability Company with an office for the

06492; OAKDALE DEVELOPMENT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Connecticut limited
partnership with an office for the transaction of business at 95 South Turnpike

Delaware corporation having an office for the conduct of its business at 650
Madison Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10022.

       WHEREAS, Oakdale is engaged in the concert promotion, event production,
ticket distribution, corporate sponsorship, venue operation, concessionaire
licensing, parking, security and all similar businesses (the "Business")
relating to the operation and management of the Oakdale Music Theater located
in Wallingford, Connecticut (the "Theater"); and

       WHEREAS, the Partnership owns certain parcels of real estate which it
leases to Oakdale to enable Oakdale to engage in the Business and to operate
and manage the Theater; and

       WHEREAS, the Sellers desire to sell, and the Buyer desires to purchase,
all of the Sale Assets (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof) on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

       WHEREAS, the Sale Assets constitute substantially all of the assets
which are used in and necessary for the operation of the Theater;

       NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and upon the terms and
subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as
follows:

                                   ARTICLE I
                               PURCHASE AND SALE

       1.1 Purchase and Sale of Assets. On the Closing Date, Oakdale shall
sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase
and assume from Oakdale, all of the assets, properties, interests and rights of
Oakdale of whatsoever kind and nature, real and personal, tangible and
intangible, owned or leased by Oakdale as the case may be, which are used or
held for use exclusively by or relate exclusively to the Business and to the
management and operation of the Theater (the "Sale Assets"), including but not
limited to the Sale Assets described in paragraph 1 of Exhibit A hereto but
excluding the assets described in paragraph 2 thereof. The Sale Assets shall be
transferred to the Buyer free and clear of all debts, security interest,
mortgages, trusts, adverse claims, pledges, conditional sales agreements or
other liens, liabilities and encumbrances whatsoever



<PAGE>


("Encumbrances"), other than informational filings made by equipment lessors
under the Uniform Commercial Code, and subject to the rights and restrictions
of the Connecticut Development Authority (the "CDA") set forth in the CDA
documents listed on Schedule 1.1 of the Disclosure Schedule.

       1.2 Assumption of Obligations. Subject to the provisions of this Section
1.2, Section 1.3 and Section 2.3, on the Closing Date, the Buyer shall assume
and undertake to pay, satisfy or discharge when due the liabilities,
obligations and commitments of the Sellers relating to the management and
operation of the Theater arising under (i) the Real Estate Contracts and the
Contracts described in Sections 5.7 and 5.9 (without regard to the threshold
amounts set forth in Section 5.9); (ii) all other contracts of the Sellers
arising in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices
between the date hereof and the Closing Date; and (iii) any other contracts
entered into between the date hereof and the Closing Date which the Buyer
expressly agrees in writing to assume. All of the foregoing liabilities and
obligations shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Assumed
Obligations".

       1.3 Limitation. Except as set forth in Section 1.2 hereof, the Buyer
expressly does not, and shall not, assume or be deemed to assume, under this
Agreement or otherwise by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby, any
liabilities, obligations or commitments of the Sellers of any nature
whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as set
forth in Section 1.2, the Buyer shall not assume or be liable for any liability
or obligation of the Sellers arising out of any contract of employment,
collective bargaining agreement, insurance, pension, retirement, deferred
compensation, incentive bonus or profit sharing or employee benefit plan or
trust, or any judgment, litigation, proceeding or claim by any person or entity
relating to the Business or the management and operation of the Theater prior
to the Closing Date, whether or not such judgment, litigation, proceeding or
claim is pending, threatened or asserted before, on or after the Closing Date.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                                 CONSIDERATION

       2.1 Base Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration (the "Base Purchase
Price") for the acquisition of the Sale Assets shall be an amount equal to
Eleven Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($ 11,900,000). The Base Purchase
Price shall be payable in cash at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to a bank or banks designated in writing by the Sellers.

       2.2 Contingent Payment. In addition to the Base Purchase Price, and
subject to the proviso set forth below, in the event that EBITDA (defined as
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) from the
combined operation of the Theater and the Meadows Music Theater in Hartford,
Connecticut (the "Meadows"), including outside activities as agreed to in
advance by Oakdale and the Buyer, for fiscal year 1999 exceeds Five Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000), the Buyer shall pay to Oakdale or
its designees within ninety (90) days of such fiscal year end, as additional
consideration for the acquisition of the Sale Assets (the "Contingent
Payment"), an amount determined as follows:


                                       2

<PAGE>



       (i) if 1999 EBITDA is greater than Five Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($5,500,000), but less than Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000), the Buyer
shall pay to Oakdale or its designees an amount equal to 5 times the amount by
which EBITDA exceeds Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000);

       (ii) if 1999 EBITDA is equal to or greater than Six Million
($6,000,000), but less than or equal to Six Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($6,500,000), the Buyer shall pay to Oakdale or its designees an amount
equal to 5.2 times the amount by which EBITDA exceeds Five Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000);

       (iii) if 1999 EBITDA is greater than Six Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($6,500,000), but less than or equal to Seven Million Dollars
($7,000,000), the Buyer shall pay to Oakdale or its designees an amount equal
to 5.4 times the amount by which EBITDA exceeds Five Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000);

       (iv) if 1999 EBITDA is greater than Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000),
but less than or equal to Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($7,500,000), the Buyer shall pay to Oakdale or its designees an amount equal
to 5.6 times the amount by which EBITDA exceeds Five Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000); and

       (v) if 1999 EBITDA is greater than Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($7,500,000), the Buyer shall pay to Oakdale or its designees an amount
equal to 5.8 times the amount by which EBITDA exceeds Five Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000);

provided, however, that in the event the operating expenses of the Theater for
fiscal year ending December 31, 1998 exceed the revenues derived solely from
ticket sales (specifically excluding all Net Ancillary Revenues) at the Theater
for fiscal year ending December 31,1998 by more than Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($200,000) (such excess, the "Operating Deficit"), each of the
threshold amounts set forth in subsections (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of
this Section 2.2 shall be increased by the amount of the Operating Deficit for
the purposes of determining whether Oakdale is entitled to a Contingent Payment
under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Net Ancillary
Revenues" shall be defined as that portion of cash, trade and barter revenues
of the Theater generated in and attributable to fiscal year ending December 31,
1997 from the usual and customary sale of services or products to third
parties, consistent with industry practice (other than receipts from ticket
sales, net of ticket expenses) including, but not limited to, income from sales
of suites, platinum club memberships, corporate gold and silver memberships,
theater, dome and function room rentals, suite rentals for "extended runs",
platinum rentals for "extended runs", advance mail club, sponsorships, parking,
facility fees, handling charges, net concessions and merchandise.


       2.3 Proration of Revenue and Expenses.

           2.3.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, all expenses and all
revenue earned arising from the conduct of the Business and the management and
operation of the Theater shall be

                                       3

<PAGE>


prorated between the Buyer and the Sellers in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles as of 11:59 p.m., local time, on the date
immediately preceding the Closing Date. Such prorations shall include, without
limitation, all ad valorem, real estate and other property taxes (but excluding
taxes arising by reason of the transfer of the Sale Assets as contemplated
hereby, which shall be paid as set forth in Article 11 of this Agreement),
business and license fees (including any retroactive adjustments thereof),
wages and salaries of employees, including accruals up to the Closing Date for
bonuses, commissions, vacations and sick pay, and related payroll taxes,
utility expenses, rents and similar prepaid and deferred items attributable to
the ownership and operation of the Theater. Real estate taxes shall be
apportioned on the basis of taxes assessed for the preceding year, with a
reapportionment as soon as the new tax rate and valuation can be ascertained.

           2.3.2 The prorations and adjustments contemplated by this Section,
to the extent practicable, shall be made on the Closing Date. As to those
prorations and adjustments not capable of being ascertained on the Closing
Date, an adjustment and proration shall be made within ninety (90) calendar
days of the Closing Date.

           2.3.3 In the event of any disputes between the parties as to such
adjustments, the amounts not in dispute shall nonetheless be paid at the time
provided in Section 2.3.2 and such disputes shall be determined by an
independent certified public accountant mutually acceptable to the parties, and
the fees and expenses of such accountant shall be paid one-half by the Sellers
and one-half by the Buyer.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                                    CLOSING

       3.1 Closing. Except as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Sellers and
the Buyer, the consummation of the acquisition of the Sale Assets (the
"Closing") shall occur simultaneously on the later to occur of five (5)
business days following (i) the date of expiration or termination of all
waiting periods, including any extensions thereof, which are or may be
applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR
Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) the
Sellers' obtaining the CDA Consent (as defined in Section 8.4 of this
Agreement). The Closing shall, at Buyer's discretion, be held at the Buyer's
offices in New York City or at the offices of Sellers' counsel in Connecticut.

       3.2 Loan. At the Closing, the Buyer shall cause SFX Entertainment, Inc.
("SFX"), a Delaware corporation, to make a loan to the Partnership in the
principal amount of Eleven Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($11,350,000) (the "Loan"), a portion of which proceeds shall be used by the
Partnership to repay in full all senior mortgage indebtedness outstanding on
all real estate owned by the Partnership. The Loan shall bear interest at the
rate of 5.7489% per annum, which shall require annual interest payments of
$652,500 per year and shall be repaid as follows: monthly payments of interest
only shall be paid in arrears during the term of the Loan, with a final payment
of principal and accrued interest (if any), and all other sums outstanding
under the Loan, due and payable on the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the
Closing. The Loan shall be evidenced by a non-recourse secured promissory note
(the "Note") in the form of Exhibit B, and shall be secured

                                       4

<PAGE>


by a first priority non-recourse mortgage (the "Mortgage") in the form of
Exhibit C covering those certain parcels of land used in the operations of the
Theater and described in Section 5.8 of the Disclosure Schedule (the "Real
Estate"). The Partnership shall at its sole cost and expense provide SFX with
mortgagee title insurance in the amount of the lien of the Mortgage, subject
only to the exceptions contained in Section 1.1 of the Lease referred to in
Section 3.3 of this Agreement and the lien of the Lease (the "Title Policy").
Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Note and the Mortgage,
the Partnership shall also execute and deliver to SFX an environmental
indemnification agreement (the "Environmental Agreement") in the form of
Exhibit D, and Oakdale shall execute and deliver to SFX an environmental
guaranty agreement (the "Environmental Guaranty") in the form of Exhibit E. The
Note, the Mortgage, the Environmental Agreement and the Environmental Guaranty
are collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents". The Partnership shall, at
its sole cost and expense, provide SFX with mortgage title insurance at the
closing in the full amount of the Loan.

       3.3 Lease and Purchase. At the Closing, the Buyer and the Partnership
shall enter into (i) a master lease agreement (the "Lease") in the form of
Exhibit F providing for the lease by the Buyer of the Real Estate for a period
of fifteen (15) years (ii) a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") in
the form of Exhibit G providing for the Buyer's purchase of the Real Estate and
the termination of the Lease upon the payment in full of the Loan, and (iii) a
Memorandum of Lease in the form of Exhibit H describing the Buyer's rights
under the Lease and the Purchase Agreement, which the Buyer shall be entitled
to record. The Lease, the Purchase Agreement and the Memorandum of Lease are
collectively referred to as the "Lease-Purchase Documents".

under, any contract, agreement, instrument, license or permit to which the
Buyer is now subject.

affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights or equitable principles
generally.

       5.3 Absence of Conflicting Agreements or Required Consents. Except as
set forth in Section 5.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement by each of the Sellers: (a) does not require
the consent of any third party; (b) to the Seller's knowledge, will not violate
any applicable law, judgment, order, injunction, decree, rule, regulation or
ruling of any governmental authority to which each of the Sellers is a party or
by which they or the Sale Assets are bound, except to the extent that any such
violation will not adversely or materially affect the transaction contemplated
hereby; (c) will not, either alone or with the giving of notice or the passage
of time, or both, conflict with, constitute grounds for termination of or
result in a material breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any contract, agreement, instrument, license or
permit to which any of the Sellers or the Sale Assets is now subject; and (d)
will not result in the creation of any lien, charge or Encumbrance on any of
the Sale Assets, except as contemplated by this Agreement.

       5.4 Government Authorizations. Section 5.4 of the Disclosure Schedule
contains a true and complete list of the material licenses, permits or other
authorizations from governmental and regulatory authorities which are required
for the lawful conduct of the Business and the management and operation of the
Theater in the manner and to the full extent they are presently conducted. Each
of the Sellers is the authorized legal holder of the licenses, permits and
authorizations listed in Section 5.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, none of which
is subject to any restrictions or condition which would limit in any material
respect the full operation of the Theater as now operated.

       5.5   Intentionally Deleted

       5.6 Taxes. Each of the Sellers has filed all federal, state, local and
foreign income, franchise, sales, use, property, excise, payroll and other tax
returns required by law (or has obtained an extension thereof, which extension
has not lapsed or expired by its terms) and has paid in full all taxes,
estimated taxes, interest, assessments, and penalties shown on said returns as
being due and payable. There are no present disputes as to taxes of any nature
payable by any of the Sellers.

       5.7 Personal Property. Section 5.7 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a
list of all material tangible personal property and assets owned or held by
each of the Sellers and used primarily or exclusively in the conduct of the
Business and the management and operation of the Theater (the "Personal
Property"). Except as disclosed in Section 5.7 of the Disclosure Schedule, and
except as may be subject to lease agreements of the Sellers specifically
identified in Section 5.7 of the Disclosure Schedule, each of the Sellers owns
and has, and will on the Closing Date have, good and marketable title to all
such property (and to all other tangible and intangible personal property and
assets to be transferred to the Buyer hereunder), and none of such property is,
or at the Closing will be, subject to any security interest, mortgage, pledge,
conditional sales agreement or other lien or encumbrance other than as set
forth in Section 5.7 of the Disclosure Schedule. All of the items of tangible
personal property and assets included in Section 5.9 of the Disclosure Schedule
are in all respects in good operating condition (ordinary wear and tear
excepted) and are available for immediate use in the conduct of the Business
and the management and operation of the Theater.

       5.8 Real Property. Section 5.8 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a
complete and accurate list of all real property (i) leased by any of the
Sellers and used by any of them in the Business and in the management and
operation of the Theater, together with a summary of the applicable leases
(collectively the "Real Estate Contracts"); and (ii) owned by any of the
Sellers. The Real Estate Contracts listed in Section 5.8 of the Disclosure
Schedule (a) constitute valid and binding obligations of the Sellers and, to
the Sellers' knowledge, of all other persons purported to be parties thereto,
except as limited by laws affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights or
equitable principles generally, and are in full force and effect as of the date
hereof, and (b)will on the Closing Date constitute valid and binding
obligations of the Sellers and, to the best of the Sellers' knowledge, of all
other persons purported to be parties thereto and shall be in full force and
effect, except as limited by laws affecting the enforcement of creditor's
rights or equitable principles generally. Except as set forth in Section 5.8 of
the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Sellers is in material default under any
of such Real Estate Contracts, none has received or given written notice of any
default thereunder from or to any of the other parties thereto and none will
have received any such notice at or prior to the Closing. The real property
owned by the Partnership which is listed in Section 5.8 of the Disclosure
Schedule constitutes all of the real property necessary to operate the Theater
as currently operated, including all surrounding grounds and parking areas.

       5.9 Contracts. Section 5.9 of the Disclosure Schedule lists and
summarizes the terms of all written and oral contracts (the "Contracts") as of
the date of this Agreement for which the Sellers shall continue to be liable as
of the Closing Date, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of
business (i) of less than three (3) months duration and which impose monetary
obligations of not more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in the aggregate,
or (ii) which are currently scheduled to expire prior to the Closing Date and
for which the Sellers will no longer be liable. Those contracts which the
Sellers and the Buyer agree are critical to the operation of the Business and
the Theater are identified in Section 5.9 of the Disclosure Schedule as
"Material Contracts". Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is discovered
before the Closing that the Sellers failed to list any contract in Section 5.9
of the Disclosure Schedule which was required to be listed, the failure by the
Sellers to disclose such contract shall not permit the Buyer to refuse to close
under this Agreement or to bring an action for damages against the Sellers if
the absence of such contract would not have a material adverse effect on the
Buyer or the management and operation of the Theater.

                                       8

other modifications to such Material Contracts. All Material Contracts are
valid, binding and enforceable by the Sellers in accordance with their
respective terms, except as limited by laws affecting creditors' rights or
equitable principles generally. To the best of the Sellers' knowledge, the
Sellers have complied in all material respects with all Material Contracts and
are not in default beyond any applicable grace periods under any of the
Material Contracts, and no other contracting party is in default under any of
the Material Contracts.

       5.11 Environmental Matters. None of the Sellers has unlawfully disposed
of any hazardous waste or hazardous substance in a manner which has caused, or
could cause, the Buyer to incur a material liability under applicable law in
connection therewith. To the Sellers' knowledge, each of the Sellers has
complied in all material respects with all federal, state and local
environmental laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Sellers and the
management and operation of the Theater. To the Sellers' knowledge, no
hazardous waste has been disposed of by any other person on the real estate
owned or leased by the Sellers. As used herein, the term "hazardous waste"
shall mean as defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as
amended and in the equivalent state statute under Connecticut state law. The
Buyer may at its expense conduct a Phase I environmental study of the real
property owned or leased by the Sellers. If the Buyer learns between the date
of this Agreement and the Closing Date that the Sellers are in breach of the
representation and warranty set forth in this Section 5.11, the Sellers shall
begin remedial action promptly and use reasonable efforts to complete such
remedial action before the Closing, and if such remedial measures are not
materially completed prior to Closing, the Buyer shall have the sole discretion
to consummate this Agreement or terminate this Agreement; provided, however,
that if such remedial action is likely to cost the Sellers in excess of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate, the Sellers may in the
alternative in their sole discretion terminate this Agreement prior to Closing
and the Sellers shall have no liability to the Buyer as a result of such
termination.

Theater. Except as set forth in Section 5.12 of the Disclosure Schedule, all of
such rights and interests are issued to or owned by the Sellers, or if licensed
or franchised to the Sellers, to the Sellers' knowledge, are valid and in good
standing and uncontested. The Sellers have delivered or made available to the
Buyer copies of all material documents, if any, establishing such rights,
licenses or other authority. None of the Sellers has received any written
notice nor has any knowledge of any infringements or unlawful use of such

Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and
those laws relating to wages, hours, collective bargaining, unemployment
insurance, workers' compensation, equal employment opportunity, sexual

Schedule, none of the Sellers is subject to a judgment, award, order, writ,
injunction, arbitration decision or decree materially adversely affecting the
conduct of the Business of the Sellers or the Theater, and there is no
litigation, arbitration, administration or other proceeding or, to the best of

failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the
Business, operations or financial condition of the Sellers, and their present
use of the Sale Assets does not violate any of such laws, regulations or
orders, violation of which would have a material adverse effect on the Sellers'
operations.

assets, operations and Business of the Sellers (the "Insurance Policies") are
in full force and effect. Except as set forth in Section 5.20 of the Disclosure

Sellers as to which the insurers have denied liability and with respect to
which there is a reasonable likelihood of a settlement or determination adverse
to the Sellers. To the Sellers' knowledge, there are no circumstances existing

the statements contained therein or herein not misleading and there is no fact
known to the Sellers which relates to any information contained in any such
written document, instrument or communications which the Sellers have not
disclosed to the Buyer in writing which materially and adversely affects the
Sellers. To the extent that a representation or other information is made to
any of the Sellers' knowledge or is otherwise qualified by its terms, this
representation shall not be interpreted to expand such limitations or
qualifications.

reasonable efforts to collect such accounts receivable in the normal and
ordinary course of business and will apply all such amounts collected to the
account debtor's oldest account receivable first, except that any such accounts
collected by the Buyer from persons who are also indebted to the Buyer may be

shall furnish or make available to the Sellers all records, files and data
relating to the collection efforts of the Buyer with respect to such accounts.

hereof and the Closing Date, they shall act in accordance with the following:

       8.1 Conditions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any
event should occur, either within or without the control of any party hereto,
which would prevent fulfillment of the conditions upon the obligations of any
party hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the

Party") of notice of (A) any claim or (B) the commencement of any action or
proceeding which may entitle such party to indemnification under this Section,
such party shall give the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") written
notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting from such claim. The failure to give the Indemnifying
Party timely notice under this clause shall not preclude the Indemnified Party
from seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party unless such failure
has materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend the claim
or litigation.

             14.6.2 If Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim
or litigation resulting therefrom with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Indemnified Party, the obligations of the Indemnifying Party as to such claim
shall be limited to taking all steps necessary in the defense or settlement of
such claim or litigation resulting therefrom and to holding the Indemnified
Party harmless from and against any losses, damages and liabilities caused by
or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any
judgment in connection with such claim or litigation resulting therefrom;
however, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its or his expense, in the
defense of such claim or litigation provided that the Indemnifying Party shall
direct and control the defense of such claim or litigation. The Indemnified
Party shall cooperate and make available all books and records reasonably
necessary and useful in connection with the defense. The Indemnifying Party
shall not, in the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom,
consent to entry of any judgment, except with the written consent of the
Indemnified Party, or enter into any settlement, except with the written
consent of the Indemnified Party, which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified
Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

             14.6.3 If the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense of
any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may,
but shall have no obligation to, defend against such claim or litigation in
such manner as it may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party may
compromise or settle such claim or litigation without the Indemnifying Party's
consent. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party
for the amount of all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnified
Party in connection with the defense

                                      23

<PAGE>


against or settlement of such claim or litigation. If no settlement of the
claim or litigation is made, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse
the Indemnified Party for the amount of any judgment rendered with respect to
such claim or in such litigation and of all expenses, legal or otherwise,
incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense against such claim or
litigation.

       15.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either the Buyer
or the Sellers, if the party seeking to terminate is not then in material
default or breach of this Agreement, upon written notice to the other upon the
occurrence of any of the following:

             (a) if; on or prior to the Closing Date, a party defaults in any
material respect in the observance or in the due and timely performance of
any of its covenants or agreements herein contained and such material default
shall not be cured within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of written
notice of default served by the party claiming such material default; or

             (b) if the Closing has not occurred by May 11, 1998; or

             (c) if there shall be in effect any judgment, final decree or
order that would prevent or make unlawful the Closing of this Agreement; or

             (d) by the mutual written consent of the Buyer and the Sellers; or

             (e) by the Buyer, if the conditions set forth in Sections 9.2 or
9.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment and shall not have been waived
by the Buyer; or

             (f) by the Sellers, if the conditions set forth in Sections 10.2
or 10.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment and shall not have been
waived by the Sellers; or

             (g) as provided in Sections 5.11 and 16.2 or any other Section of
this Agreement which specifically provides for termination.

      15.2 Right to Cure. A defaulting Party under Section 15.1(a) of this
Agreement shall only be entitled to invoke the cure provisions thereof once
during the term of this Agreement.

      15.3 Liability. The termination of this Agreement under Section 15.1
shall not relieve any party of any liability for breach of this Agreement prior
to the date of termination.

                                    ARTICLE 16
                                 OTHER PROVISIONS

       16.1 Liquidated Damages. If the parties hereto shall fail to consummate
this Agreement on the Closing Date due to the Buyer's breach of any material
representation, warranty, covenant or condition hereunder, and the Sellers are
not at that time in breach of any material representation,

                                      24

<PAGE>


warranty, covenant or condition hereunder, then the Sellers would suffer direct
and substantial damages, which damages cannot be determined within reasonable
certainty. Therefore, because of the expense and delay which would be incurred
in such event by the Sellers, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount of
One Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,600,000) within ten (10) days of
demand therefor, which amount shall constitute liquidated damages. It is
understood and agreed that such liquidated damage amount represents the Buyer's
and the Sellers' reasonable estimate of actual damages and does not constitute
a penalty. Recovery of liquidated damages shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy of the Sellers against the Buyer for failing to consummate this
Agreement on the Closing Date and shall be applicable regardless of the actual
amount of damages sustained; provided, however, that the in the event the
Buyer, without just cause, contests, protests or delays the payment of said
liquidated damage amount, Sellers shall be entitled to recover interest from
the date such payment was due together with all expenses, including attorney's
fees, reasonably incurred by the Sellers in enforcing this Section 16.1.

       16.2 Risk of Loss. The risk of loss or damage to the Sale Assets prior
to the Closing Date shall be upon the Sellers. The Sellers shall repair,
replace and restore any such damaged or lost asset to its prior condition, as
soon as possible and in no event later than the Closing Date. Except as
provided below, if the Sellers fail to restore or replace any such asset having
a value exceeding One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000), the Buyer may
elect either to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article 15 hereof or to
consummate the Closing on the Closing Date. If the Sellers fail to restore or
replace such asset and the Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement,
the Sellers shall assign or cause to be assigned to the Buyer at Closing its
rights under any insurance policy or pay over to the Buyer all proceeds of
insurance covering such asset's damage, destruction or loss. If the restoration
and replacement of any damaged or destroyed property has not been completed at

certain Transaction Taxes (as hereinafter defined) paid or payable by each
Seller. The Buyer agrees to pay such amounts including a tax gross-up
calculated to put the Sellers in the same position on an after-tax basis as
they would have been in had they sold stock and no Section 338(h)(10) election
were made, taking into account any taxes payable by the Sellers attributable
to payments made pursuant to this Section 2.8

                  (c) Definition. "Transaction Taxes" as used herein shall mean
all federal, state, and local income taxes, including related interest and
penalties, payable by the Sellers, irrespective of when assessed and payable,
as a result of the Sellers' disposition of 80% of their common stock in the
event of any elections under Section 338(h)(10) (and corresponding state tax
law provisions) contemplated herein, to the extent such Taxes exceed the sum
of:

                  (i)  the portion of the Sellers' Taxes above that are
advanced to the Sellers pursuant to the loan provisions of Section 2.7, and

                  (ii) the amount of federal, state and local income taxes that
would have been payable by the Sellers on the disposition of 80% of their
shares had the Section 338(h)(10) election not been made.

                  (d) Computation and Payment. The Sellers shall submit to the
Buyer a calculation of any amounts due for Transaction Taxes, including the tax
gross-up referred to above. Unless the Buyer objects to such calculation, the
Buyer shall pay such amounts to the Sellers on or before the date such Taxes
become due and payable. Where practicable, the Sellers shall provide the Buyer
with ten business days to review such calculations. In the event the Buyer
disputes the Sellers' calculation, the undisputed portion shall be timely paid
and the disputed portion shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable "Big Six"
firm of certified public accountants for binding resolution. The cost of such
services shall be borne by the party whose determination of the amount in
question was further from the result determined by the accounting firm
selected. Any additional amount determined to be due to the Sellers shall
include interest at an annually compounded rate of 10% from the date such taxes
were due and payable.

Buyer and the Company.  Each of the Sellers, severally, represents and

                  (b) Deductible. The Buyer shall be entitled to indemnity for
Losses with respect to any claim arising under Section 7.1(a)(i) or Section
7.1(b) and Litigation Expenses under Section 7.1(c) related to such Losses only
if the aggregate amount of its Losses and Litigation Expenses with respect to
all claims arising under such Sections (in excess of the threshold provided in
(i) preceding) exceeds $100,000 (and if such condition is met indemnity shall
be required for all Losses and Litigation Expenses), provided that the
limitations of this Section 7.3(b) shall not apply to indemnity with respect to
Losses arising out of or relating to a state of facts as a result of which a
representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.1 or 3.2 is untrue or
inaccurate.

                  (c) Several Liability of the Sellers. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the representations and warranties made in
Section 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement shall be deemed made by each Seller
severally, not jointly, and no Seller shall have any liability under this
Section 7 with respect to any inaccuracy in such representations or breach of
such warranties that relates to the title, ownership, capacity, rights,
obligations or any action or inaction of any other Seller. Nothing herein shall
require the Buyer to proceed against all of the Sellers or any of them in



                                      26

<PAGE>






connection with any claim for indemnification; all such claims may be asserted
independently, subject to the limitations on any Seller's liability set forth
herein.

                  (d) Maximum Liability. The aggregate liability of the Sellers
in connection with all claims for Losses arising under Section 7.1(a)(i)
hereof, (and any Litigation Expense under Section 7.1(c) hereof related to such
Loss), to the extent in excess of the deductible provided for in Section
7.3(b), shall not exceed $4,250,000. The aggregate liability of each Seller in
connection with all claims for Losses arising under Section 7.1(a)(i) hereof
(and any Litigation Expense under Section 7.1(c) hereof related to such Loss),
to the extent in excess of the deductible provided for in Section 7.3(b), shall
not exceed such Seller's share of the Base Purchase Price. The aggregate
liability of the Sellers in connection with all claims for Losses arising
Section 7.1(a)(i) hereof and under Section 7.1(b) hereof (and any Litigation
Expense under Section 7.1(c) hereof related to such Loss), to the extent in
excess of the deductible provided for in Section 7.3(b), cumulatively, shall
not exceed $8,500,000.

                  (e) Insurance Proceeds. An indemnified party's indemnifiable
Loss hereunder shall be deemed reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds
or indemnities recoverable by such indemnified party with respect to such Loss.

                  (f) Exclusivity. The sole and exclusive remedy of the parties
hereto for any claim resulting from a breach by any of the parties hereto of
its respective representations or warranties made herein shall be a claim under
this Section 7. The parties hereby waive any provision of law to the extent
that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section 7.3(f).

                  7.4 Set-Offs. The Buyer, its successors, assigns and
designees shall have the right to set off any amounts owed by the Sellers under
this Section 7 against any amounts owed by the Buyer to the Sellers under this
Agreement. This set-off right is not exclusive, and shall not be deemed to
restrict in any way the exercise of any other right or remedy the Buyer may
have under this Agreement, under applicable Law or otherwise to enforce a claim
for indemnification.

                   7.5 Notice and Defense of Claims.  The obligations and
liabilities of each indemnifying party hereunder with respect to claims
resulting from the assertion of liability by another party or third parties
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                  (a) Notice. The indemnified party shall give prompt written
notice to the indemnifying party of any claim or event known to it which does
or may give rise to a claim by the indemnified party against the indemnifying
party based on this Agreement, stating the nature and basis of said claims or
events and the amounts thereof, to the extent known, and in the case of any
Action brought by any third party,



                                      27



<PAGE>




a copy of any documentation with respect thereto promptly after any such
documentation is received by the indemnified party. The claims notice may be
amended on one or more occasions with respect to the amount or description of
the asserted liability or the Loss at any time prior to final resolution of the
obligation to indemnify relating to the asserted liability or the Loss. If a
claims notice is not provided promptly as required by this Section 7.5(a), the
indemnified party nonetheless shall be entitled to indemnification by the
indemnifying party to the extent that the indemnifying party has not
established that it has been prejudiced by such late receipt of the claims
notice.

                  (b) Third Party Claims or Actions.

                  (i) In the event any Action is brought by any third party
against an indemnified party, with respect to which an indemnifying party may
have liability under this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall be entitled
to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense
thereof, with independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party, provided that in assuming the defense of any such third party Action,
the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing to the indemnified party that
the indemnifying party shall thereafter be liable, to the extent herein
provided, for any Loss and any Litigation Expense with respect to
such Action.

                  (ii) If the indemnifying parties elect to assume the defense
of any such third-party Action, the indemnifying parties shall have the right
to contest, pay, settle or compromise any such Action on such terms and
conditions as the indemnifying parties may determine; provided, however, that
(A) the indemnifying parties shall not settle or compromise any Action or
consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional
term releasing the indemnified party from all liability in respect of such
asserted liability, and (B) no settlement that imposes any liability or
obligation on the indemnified party (other than the payment of money damages
that will be paid entirely by the indemnifying party), shall be made without
the indemnified party's written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld). After notice from the indemnifying parties to such indemnified party
of the indemnifying parties' election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying parties shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any
Litigation Expense or other expenses incurred after the date of receipt of such
notice by the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right to
employ its own counsel and such counsel may participate in such Action, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party, when and as incurred.

                  (iii) If the indemnifying parties do not elect to assume the
defense of any such Action, the indemnified party may engage counsel selected
by the indemnified



                                      28


<PAGE>








party to assume the defense and may contest and pay or may settle or compromise
any such claim. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall constitute
Litigation Expense hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if the
indemnifying parties acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party that the
indemnifying parties shall thereafter be liable, to the extent herein provided,
for any Loss and any Litigation Expense with respect to such Action, then the
selection of such counsel shall require the prior written consent of the
indemnifying parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), and (B)
any settlement or compromise of such Action shall require the prior written
consent of the indemnifying parties (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld).

                  (iv) The indemnified party and the indemnifying parties, as
the case may be, shall be kept fully informed of such Action at all stages
thereof whether or not such party is represented by its own counsel.

                  7.6 Cooperation. The parties hereto agree to render to each
other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to
cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and
adequate defense of any Action brought by any third party.

                  7.7      Confidentiality.  The parties agree to make 
reasonable efforts to preserve in full the confidentiality of all proprietary
or confidential business records and the attorney-client and work product
privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (a) it will make
reasonable efforts, in any Action in which it has assumed or participated in
the defense, to avoid production of confidential business records; and (b) all
communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or
participating in the defense of any Action shall, to the extent possible, be
made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product
privilege.

                  7.8 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
covenants, representations and warranties and agreements made in this Agreement
or in any Exhibit, Schedule, certificate or document delivered herewith or at
the Closing shall survive the execution and delivery thereof and the Closing
hereunder; provided, however, that any claim for the breach of any such
covenant, representation, warranty or agreement shall be subject to the
applicable limitations set forth in this Section 7.


                  8. Other Agreements of the Parties.

                  8.1 Brokers. Each party represents and warrants that all
actions by it relative to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby were carried out in such manner as not to give rise to any valid claim

commissions or similar payments.

                  8.2 Post-Closing Cooperation. After the Closing Date, the
Sellers and the Buyer shall provide each other timely access to information and
reasonable assistance and cooperation, during normal business hours, necessary
for the preparation of any tax returns or other filings or conducting or
responding to tax audit or other proceedings. All pertinent books of account,
papers, and records shall be retained by the parties until either the statute
of limitations to which they relate has expired, by lapse of time or by the
terms of any agreement for extension of the period of limitations.

                  8.3 Tax Returns. The Buyer will cause the Company and each of
its Subsidiaries to prepare and file appropriate federal and state income tax
returns for the Company and each of its Subsidiaries including the period from
January 1, 1998 through the Closing Date. Any Taxes payable pursuant to such
returns shall, however, be the responsibility of the Sellers. The Agent shall
have the right to consult with the Buyer on the preparation of such returns.
The Buyer will submit a draft return to the Agent for his review and comment at
least 10 business days prior to filing.

                  8.4   Other Tax Matters. (a) The parties agree to elect the
Section 1362(e)(3) closing of the books method, and not the pro-rata method,
for the computation of the Company's S Corporation taxable income for the
1998 termination year.

                  (b) The Agent shall have the right, including the right to
appoint a representative, to participate in any inquiry or exam by federal,
state or local taxing authorities that pertains to any tax period of the
Company up through the date of closing.

                  8.5 Guaranty by Company. The Company, as a Subsidiary of SFX
, shall provide guaranties of SFX's indebtedness comparable to those required
of other Subsidiaries of SFX. If the market capitalization of SFX's common
stock falls below $100 million, then SFX will take all steps necessary to have
all such guaranties terminated. If the market capitalization of SFX's common
stock falls below $125 million, then SFX will make reasonable efforts to have
all such guaranties terminated.

                  8.6 Shareholder Loans.  At the Closing, the Company will
repay the outstanding loans from its shareholders (currently in the aggregate
amount of approximately $950,000), plus accrued unpaid interest thereon.

                  9. Exclusivity; No Solicitation. From and after the date
hereof and until the Closing, the Sellers shall not, and shall not permit the
Company to, solicit, discuss, negotiate, accept, approve, provide any Third
Party information in connection



                                      30

with, or enter into any agreement with a Third Party relating to any offer or
proposal from anyone other than the Buyer relating to the acquisition of the
assets or Business of the Company, the acquisition of any of its capital stock
or other securities, or any merger, consolidation or other business combination
relating to the Company, and will promptly notify the Buyer of any offer or
proposal received by them or by the Company with respect to any such proposed
transaction.

         6. At the Closing, the Buyer will assume the existing employment
agreements with each of Brian F. Murphy, dated January 1, 1998, Randy Brogna,

fault of the Seller or the Other Sellers (with "fault" including material
misrepresentations of the Seller or the Other Sellers in the negotiation of
this Letter Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement) (subject to extension for

shall pay to the Seller on such date an amount in cash equal to $1,500,000 and
(ii) the Company shall cause Pavilion Partners, a Delaware general partnership
("Pavilion"), to enter into an amendment to that certain Partnership Agreement

refusal to Pavilion to purchase the partnership interests of IMA Partners, and

a submission of a proposal or offer from any person or entity (other than the
Company or Buyer) relating to any liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, acquisition or purchase of all or a material portion of
the assets of any Target Entity, or the outstanding equity interests of any
Target Entity, or other similar transaction or business combination involving
any Target Entity (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Third Party
Offer"). The Sellers will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any
contracts or negotiations currently pending with respect to Third Party Offers,
if any.

         10. For the two (2) year period beginning on the date of closing of
the Acquisition, Seller may not, on its own behalf or on behalf of any other
person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity, hire or solicit
any employee of any Target Entity, or any affiliate thereof, who is an employee
of a Target Entity, or any affiliate thereof, subsequent to the closing of the
Acquisition (an "Employee") or in any manner attempt to influence or induce any
Employee to leave the employment of a Target Entity; provided, however,
nothing in this paragraph 10 shall prevent the Seller from hiring, or
soliciting to hire, any Employee who is terminated by a Target Entity, or any
affiliate thereof, during such two (2) year period. The Company acknowledges
that certain general and administrative employees of the Target Entities may
terminate their employment prior to the closing of the Acquisition. Prior to

of the Target Entities shall remain employees of the Target Entities and which

approval, the matter shall have been deemed to have been approved by the 
Company.

Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepting
accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods covered
thereby and present fairly the financial condition of each of the Target
Entities as of the dates for which they were prepared, and the results of
operations and changes in financial position for such periods.

         13. The Company acknowledges that the Seller owns the outstanding
equity of Avalon Entertainment Group, Inc., a Tennessee corporation, which
corporation conducts business under its own name and under the name
"Warner/Avalon", a joint venture with Warner Custom Music Corp. The Company and
Seller agree that upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Company and the
Target Entities will be entitled to continue to operate the businesses of the
Target Entities under their respective names and that Seller, Avalon
Entertainment Group, Inc. and Warner/Avalon will be entitled to continue to
operate their respective businesses under their respective names.

         14. Except as set forth in the next five sentences, this Letter
Agreement constitutes a binding agreement between the parties hereto as to the
matters set forth above and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their
respective successors. The execution of this Letter Agreement has been approved
by all necessary corporate action by the Company. Seller submits this Letter
Agreement as evidence of its agreement to the terms set forth herein subject
to approval hereof by its Board of Directors. This Letter Agreement shall not
be binding on Seller until approved by its Board of Directors. Seller submitted
the form of this Letter Agreement to its Board of Directors on February 26,
1998. Should the Board of Directors of TBA Entertainment Corporation fail to
approve the terms and provisions of this Letter Agreement on or before March 20,
1998, the Company may, by notice to Seller, rescind and revoke this Letter
Agreement, without payment or liability, in its sole and absolute discretion.
This letter Agreement contemplates, however, that the parties will negotiate in
good faith and enter into a mutually acceptable definitive Acquisition
Agreement which set forth, among other things, the provisions described in
paragraphs 1 through 13 above. The parties hereto agree to use their best
efforts to close the Acquisition on or prior to March 23, 1998, subject to
extension for the sole purpose of obtaining required regulatory approvals. The
parties hereto agree to cooperate each with the other to expeditiously obtain
such regulatory approvals.

         15. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Letter Agreement may be
amended or modified only by a writing executed by all of the parties.

         16. The obligations of the Company to close the Acquisition is
conditioned upon the simultaneous closing of the acquisition of the remaining
forty-nine percent (49%) equity interests in the Target Entities from the Other
Sellers as contemplated in the Second Letter Agreement. Should such closings
not occur simultaneously, or should the requirement that both closing occur
simultaneously not be waived by the Company, the Company shall have no
obligation under this Letter Agreement or the Acquisition Agreement
contemplated hereby.

Attn:  Robert F.X. Sillerman

    Re:  Acquisition by SFX Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or an
         affiliate thereof, (as the case may be, "Purchaser"), of one hundred
         percent (100%) of the outstanding equity interests in New Avalon,
         Inc., and TBA Media, Inc. (collectively d/b/a Avalon Attractions),
         Irvine Meadows Amphitheater and West Coast Amphitheater Corp. (each, a
         "Company," collectively, the "Companies") owned severally by Shelli
         Meadows, Inc., Audrey & Jane, Inc. and Peach Street Partners, Ltd.,
         Robert E. Geddes, Thomas Miserendino and Brian F. Murphy (each a
         "Seller", collectively, "Sellers"), which equity interests represent
         forty-nine percent (49%) of the outstanding equity interest of each of
         the Companies

Gentlemen:

         This letter agreement (this "Letter Agreement") is intent to set forth
the agreement between Sellers and Purchaser on the terms set forth herein and in
the definitive Acquisition Agreement referred to in paragraph 3 hereof regarding
Purchaser's acquisition of one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests in
the Companies owned severally by Sellers, which equity interests represent
forty-nine percent (49%) of the outstanding equity interest of each of the
Companies. Sellers represent that the remaining fifty-one percent (51%) of the
equity interests in the Companies is owned by TBA Entertainment Corporation
("TBAEC").

         Subject to the conditions set forth herein, Purchaser and Sellers agree
as follows:

         1. Purchaser will purchase (the "Acquisition") from Seller (i)
partnership interests representing forty-nine percent (49%) partnership interest
in Irvine Meadows Amphitheater, a California general partnership ("IMA
Partners"), and (ii) forty-nine percent (49%) of the capital stock or other
equity interests in each of New Avalon, Inc., a California corporation, TBA
Media, Inc., a California corporation and West Coast Amphitheater Corp., a
California corporation (collectively, the "Sellers' Interest"). Robert E.
Geddes ("Mr. Geddes") represents that the Companies represent all of the "at
risk" music and concert production or promotion businesses and the business
involved in the development of the amphitheater proposed to be constructed in
Camarillo, California (the

<PAGE>

Page 2.


"Camarillo Creek Amphitheater") in which he has an ownership interest,
management interest, or from which he derives any economic advantage, other
than his interest in TBAEC. Purchaser shall have the right to condition its
obligations under the Acquisition Agreement upon the termination prior to the
closing of any contract between any of the Companies and any affiliate of any
of the Companies or of any of Sellers or TBAEC on terms such that Purchaser
shall have no liability with respect to such termination.

         2. The aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase Price") payable to
Sellers as a group for the acquisition of Sellers' Interests and the covenants
not to compete will be $17,330,000. The Purchase Price payable to Sellers shall
be payable in multiple installments: (i) $16,830,00 in cash by wire transfer or
certified or cashier's check at closing, and (ii) $500,000 in cash by wire
transfer or certified or cashier's check on May 15, 1998, in the event that
the construction of the Camarillo Creek Amphitheater by Purchaser has been
completed pursuant to construction plans and Purchaser has commenced producing
entertainment events in such amphitheater. The Purchase Price shall be
allocated among Sellers in accordance with separate agreements among themselves.

         3. The agreement relating to the Acquisition (the "Acquisition
Agreement") will contain: (i) customary representations and warranties for a
transaction of the proposed nature of the Acquisition including, but not
limited to, representations and warranties regarding (a) Authorization and
Binding Obligation; (b) Taxes; (c) Real Property (including land use and
zoning issues); (d) Contracts; (e) Environmental Matters; (f) Financial
Statements; (g) Personal Information; (h) Litigation; (i) Compliance with the
Laws; (j) State of Title to Assets and Real Property; and (k) Organization and
Standing; (ii) conditions relating to the operation of the entities comprising
the Companies in the normal course in accordance with good commercial practice
and prior established practices of the Companies, including but not limited to
(a) maintenance of insurance as appropriate and in accordance with past
practices; (b) preservation of the business relations of the Companies, both
contractual and otherwise, with suppliers, customers, employees and patrons;
and (c) maintenance of the Companies' physical assets in accordance with
governmental regulations and sound commercial practices; (iii) provisions
for the survival of all representations for a reasonable period after closing
(except that environmental-related representations and warranties shall survive
for a period of four years and tax and employment related representations and
warranties shall survive until the expiration of any applicable statute of
limitations including any voluntary extensions thereof); (iv) customary
indemnifications for the benefit of Purchaser with respect to the operations of
the Companies prior to the closing and for benefit of Sellers with respect to
the operations of the Companies after the closing, which indemnifications shall
not be triggered until at least $50,000 of claims have accrued and, as to
Sellers, shall be prorated in proportion to

Page 3.


their respective interests in the total outstanding equity interests in the
Companies; (v) a provision regarding the proration of expenses and revenue as of
the closing; and (vi) an allocation of the Purchase Price.

         4. The closing of the Acquisition will be conditioned upon the
delivery by Sellers to Purchaser at the closing of all necessary consents to
the Acquisition so that Purchaser shall enjoy the same benefits of ownership
of the Companies as Sellers currently enjoy, and shall condition the closing
of the Acquisition upon, among other things; (i) the continued truth and
accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Acquisition
Agreement; (ii) the maintenance of the businesses of the Companies free of
material adverse damage of change; (iii) the continued conduct of the
business of the Companies in accordance with present practices; (iv) the
delivery of customary legal opinions including, without limitation, a zoning
opinion (unless Sellers provide a zoning endorsement to title coverage by
Seller's title insurance company); (v) the delivery of consolidated audited
financial statements for 1995, 1996 and 1997 from Arthur Andersen & Co.; (vi)
Purchaser's ability to obtain, at standard rates, leasehold title insurance;
and (vii) the termination of any Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting periods, if
applicable.

         5. During the period from the date this letter is signed (the "Signing
Date") until the closing, Sellers will afford Purchaser full and free access to
the properties, contracts, books and records and all other documents and data
of Sellers relating to the Companies so that Purchaser can complete its
due diligence examinations of the Companies (including environmental and
engineering reviews).

         6. Mr. Geddes agrees that following the closing through the earlier of
completion of development of the Camarillo Creek Amphitheater of December 31,
1998, he will provide consulting services to Purchaser with respect to such
development at such times and on such terms as Purchaser and Mr. Geddes may
reasonably determine; provided, however, that Mr. Geddes shall assume no
liability with respect to such services and Purchaser shall agree to indemnify
Mr. Geddes from and against and all liabilities that may arise with respect
to the development of the Camarillo Creek Amphitheater, except for liabilities
that may arise with respect to Mr. Geddes' gross negligence of wilful misconduct
or that are a result of a material misrepresentation of Mr. Geddes in the
Acquisition Agreement.

         7. At the Closing, Purchaser will, subject to receipt of the approval
of the Companies, offer the assume the Companies' existing employment
agreements with each of Brian F. Murphy, dated January 1, 1998, Randy Brogna,
dated January 1, 1998, and Matt

Curro, dated January 1, 1998. In that event, Purchaser and the other parties
thereto will amend such contracts effective at closing to provide cash incentive
compensation and equity-based incentive compensation commensurate with
Purchaser's executives having similar responsibility.

         8. Purchaser confirms to Sellers that it has the financial ability to
consummate the Acquisition as provided for herein or has the ability to obtain
financing for the Acquisition on terms and conditions satisfactory to Purchaser.

         9. For the two (2) year period beginning on the date of closing of the
Acquisition, without the prior written consent to Purchaser, except for Brian
F. Murphy's employment, if any, with Purchaser, Sellers shall not, directly or
indirectly, as a director, officer, agent, employee, consultant, or independent
contractor, or in any other individual or representative capacity (i) develop,
construct, operate or manage venues within the greater Los Angeles, California
area which shall include, but not be limited to, Los Angeles, Ventura and
Santa Barbara Counties, (ii) act in any such capacity with any business
engaged in the production or promotion of "at risk" music or concert
productions or promotions in the greater Los Angeles, California area, or
(iii) develop, construct, operate or manage a venue in Portland, Oregon. It is
specifically understood that Irving Azoff is not subject to any obligation
under this paragraph 9.  

         10. From the Signing Date to the closing of the Acquisition, Sellers
covenant and agree that no Seller shall authorize or knowingly permit any
officer, director, shareholder or employee of, or any investment banker,
attorney, accountant or other representative retained by, any Seller to make,
solicit, initiate, encourage or respond to a submission of a proposal or offer
from any person or entity (other than Purchaser or Purchaser) relating to the
liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, acquisition
or purchase of all or a material portion of the assets of any of the Companies,
or the outstanding equity interests of any of the Companies, or other similar
transaction or business combination involving any of the Companies
(hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Third Party Offer"). Sellers will
immediately cease and cause to be terminated any contracts or negotiations
currently pending with respect to Third Party Offers, if any.

         11. For the two (2) year period beginning on the date of closing of the
Acquisition, no Seller may, on his or its own behalf or on behalf of any other
person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity, hire or solicit
any employee of any of the Companies, or any affiliate thereof, who is an
employee of any of the Companies, or any affiliate thereof, subsequent to the
closing of the Acquisition (an "Employee") or in any manner attempt to influence
or induce any Employee to leave the employment of any of the Companies;
provided, however, nothing in this paragraph 11 shall prevent a Seller

Page 5.


from hiring, or soliciting to hire, any Employee who is terminated by any of
the Companies, or any affiliate thereof, during such two (2) year period.
Purchaser acknowledges that certain general and administrative employees of the
Companies may terminate their employment prior to the closing of the
Acquisition.

with a term in excess of one (1) year. If Purchaser does not notify Sellers of
its approval or disapproval of any matter submitted for its approval pursuant
to this paragraph 12 within three (3) business days after its receipt of a
request for approval, the matter shall have been deemed to have been approved
by Purchaser.

         13. Financial statements of the Companies are attached on Exhibit "A"
attached hereto (collectively, the "Financial Statements"). To the knowledge of
Sellers, the Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the
periods covered thereby. The Financial Statements present fairly the financial
condition of each of the Companies as of the dates for which they were

Acquisition on or prior to March 23, 1998, subject to extension for the sole
purpose of obtaining required regulatory approvals. The parties hereto agree to
cooperate to expeditiously obtain such regulatory approvals. In the event that
the Acquisition is not consummated on or before March 26, 1998, through no
fault of Sellers (with "fault" including material misrepresentations of Sellers

equal to $1,500,000 and (ii) Purchaser shall, at the request of IMA Partners,
