Dear Shelly:

We are very pleased that you have agreed to accept the position as Senior
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of TVN Entertainment
Corporation (referred to herein as "the Company" or "TVN").  This position is
vital to the continued development and growth of the Company, so you will be a
most important and valued member of our senior management team.

Set forth below are the terms agreed upon for your employment by the Company:

1.   Effective September 18, 2000 ("the Effective Date"), you will be employed
     on a full time basis as the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief
     Financial Officer ("CFO") of the Company, reporting to the Company's
     President and Chief Executive Officer (the "President").

2.   As the CFO of the Company, your duties will include those usually
     attendant to that position, including being responsible for all aspects of
     the Company's finances, banking and investor relations, management of human
     resources, personnel administration and compensation, and our stock option
     and benefit programs. Your responsibilities will also include supervision
     and oversight of all accounting functions, including accounts payable and
     accounts receivable, treasury functions, cash management, monthly and
     quarterly closings, purchasing and contract negotiating, revenue
     recognition and tax and audit functions. You will also work as part of our
     senior management team, and will have responsibility for corporate
     development and planning, budgeting, forecasting, risk management issues
     and financial support in the creation of our corporate policies and
     procedures.

3.   Your employment will be for a three (3) year term (the "Term") beginning
     September 18, 2000 and continuing thereafter through September 17, 2003
     unless earlier terminated with or without cause as set forth below. If the
     Company desires to negotiate with you regarding a possible renewal of the
     term of your employment with the Company, then the Company shall provide
     you with written notice to such effect not later than 180 days before the
     expiration of the Term. Provided the Company timely delivers such notice to
     you, then you and the Company shall negotiate in good faith for a period of
     thirty (30) days, commencing on the day that is 180 days before the end of
     the Term, with respect to the terms and conditions of such possible
     renewal, provided, however, that if
<PAGE>

Sheldon Rabinowitz

Page 2 of 10

     no agreement is reached within such thirty (30) day period, you shall be
     free to negotiate with third parties with respect to potential employment
     that would commence upon expiration of the Term.

4.   You will be paid a salary at the pre-tax rate of $300,000 per year ("Annual
     Salary") in accordance with the Company's payroll policies (currently bi-
     weekly) for the first year of the Initial Term, with appropriate
     withholding and deductions. For each year of the Initial Term thereafter,
     the Annual Salary payable in that year will be increased by no less than
     five percent 5% per annum (i.e., in the second year $315,000, and $330,750
     in the third year), but that percentage increase shall not set a ceiling if
     a greater increase is merited as determined in the sole discretion of the
     Company's Board of Directors.

5.   You will be eligible to receive a performance/merit bonus annually for each
     fiscal year ("Annual Bonus") in accordance with TVN's policies for its
     senior executives. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph 5, the
     amount of the Annual Bonus will be determined by TVN's Board of Directors
     based on your performance as CFO of TVN, and the achievement of the goals
     set by TVN's senior management (with your participation) and the Board for
     each fiscal year (currently ending March 31). The Guaranteed Bonuses and
     Annual Bonuses will be payable after TVN's financial department has
     complied the relevant financial performance data after the end of each
     fiscal year, beginning with fiscal year end March 31, 2001. You will be
     paid a $300,000 bonus upon signing this agreement (the "Signing Bonus")
     subject to minimum federal and state income taxes (i,e., 28% and 6%,
     respectively) plus other required withholdings; provided, however, if you
     resign prior to six (6) months from the Effective Date other than for good
     reason, you agree to repay to the Company a pro-rata share of the Signing
     Bonus, e.g., if you voluntarily resign after working only three (3) months,
     you will repay to TVN the sum of $150,000. Your Annual Bonus during each of
     years 2 and 3 of the Term will be guaranteed in a minimum amount equal to
     fifty percent (50%) of your Annual Salary for that year ("Guaranteed
     Bonus").

6.   You will be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
     you on behalf of the Company and in the conduct of its business, upon
     presentation of appropriate receipts or other suitable documentation, in
     accordance with the Company's expense reimbursement policies applicable to
     its senior executives, including (i) first class or upgraded airplane
     travel and (ii) an auto allowance of $1,000 per month. You will not be
     required to relocate from the greater Los Angeles area for this position.

7.   You will also be included in the Company employee benefit plans then
     available to other senior executive employees. The Company provides a 401k
     Plan and a health and dental care plan that has a first complete calendar
     month waiting period for eligibility. You shall be entitled to participate
     in all bonus, retirement and other benefit plans put into effect by the
     Company for all other senior executives (including the President).

8.   Subject to meeting eligibility requirements, you will participate in a
     newly created Company Incentive Stock Option Plan ("the new Option Plan")
     and your stock option grant shall be, to the extent permitted under the
     applicable rules of Section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended, an "incentive stock option" to purchase that number of shares of
     the Company's Common Stock equal to the greater of: 500,000 shares or two
     percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock
     ("Option Shares"). The Option Shares will be granted from a stock option
     pool which will be authorized pursuant to the new Option Plan to be adopted
     by the Board of Directors for this option grant, for other new hires, and
     for refresher option grants to be issued to other senior level TVN
     executives. Your per share exercise price for the Option Shares shall be
     equal to the lesser of (i) $2.75 per share, or (ii) an amount equal to
     ninety percent (90%) of the per share price set in the next round of equity
     financing for the Company in excess of $25 Million. The new Option Plan
     shall provide for repriced incentive stock options to be issued for
     refresher grants and for existing and new senior management employees, all
     as approved by the Board of Directors. Your stock option shall be
     exercisable for a term of ten (10) years (or, upon the expiration or
     earlier termination of your employment, other than for cause pursuant to
     paragraph 16 hereof, for the maximum period allowed by law) and shall vest
     as follows: (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Option Shares (125,000
     shares) shall vest when this Agreement is mutually signed, and (ii) the
     balance of the Option Shares (375,000 shares) shall vest on a monthly basis
     over the Term beginning on the Effective Date, conditioned upon your
     continued employment with TVN as of each vesting date; provided, however,
     that all unvested Option Shares shall be deemed vested and exercisable
     immediately prior to a change of control as defined herein below. Subject
     to the foregoing, this option grant will be subject to the terms,
     definitions and provisions of the new Option Plan, and the standard form
     related Stock Option Agreement which will be entered into by you and the
     President, and the Company; provided, however, that in no event shall the
     terms and conditions of this option grant (other than the number of shares
     granted), including exercise price, vesting and exercisability, be less
     favorable than the terms and conditions of the initial option grant given
     to the President. You will also participate in all other regular option
     grants to senior executives for an amount of shares that is commensurate
     with your position relative to the others receiving such option grants. You
     shall be entitled to receive additional stock options, with terms
     (including regarding exercise price, vesting and exercisability) on a most
     favored nations basis with the President (other than for the number of
     shares granted, which shall be no less than in the same proportion to the
     option shares so granted to the President as exists with regard to the
     initial grants of stock options to you and the President).

9.   You will be entitled to a total of twenty (20) days per year of paid
     vacation, for use at your discretion upon reasonable advance notice to the
     President and Chief Executive Officer. During the term of your employment
     hereunder, the Company will obtain and pay the premiums when due for a
     term life insurance

<PAGE>

Sheldon Rabinowitz

Page 4 of 10


     policy on your life in the amount of $1,000,000 payable to your designated
     beneficiary. You shall be fully "grossed-up" by the Company for this life
     insurance benefit, so that the economic effects to you are the same as if
     this benefit was provided to you on a non-taxable basis. You also
     understand and agree that the Company may obtain additional term life
     insurance on you with benefits payable to the Company ("key-man life
     insurance") and you agree to cooperate with the Company in applying for
     such coverage and with respect to the medical examinations required to
     obtain such policies.

10.  If you suffer a Total Disability during the Term, your employment hereunder
     shall automatically terminate and you shall receive post-termination
     disability payments equal to twelve (12) months of continuation of your
     then current Annual Salary, a pro-rata portion of your Guaranteed Bonus to
     the date of such Total Disability and any additional Annual Bonus the Board
     of Directors may deem appropriate, and your Option Shares shall continue to
     vest during such period of disability until the date of Total Disability,
     at which time your Option Shares will no longer vest. You shall be deemed
     to have suffered a "Total Disability" ninety (90) days following written
     notice by the Company to you of a determination by an independent physician
     acceptable to the Board of Directors and you (which acceptance will not be
     unreasonably withheld) that your disability is such that you cannot render
     services as provided for hereunder; provided, however, that if you resume
     work on a regular basis prior to the end of such 90 day period, you shall
     not be deemed to have suffered a "Total Disability."

11.  During the term of this Agreement, if you become disabled by reason of
     illness or other incapacity extending for a period of more than three (3)
     consecutive months during which you are unable to perform your material
     duties hereunder on a full-time basis (as determined by an independent
     physician acceptable to both you and the Board of Directors), but you are
     able to perform your duties hereunder on a part-time basis ("Partial
     Disability"), all Annual Salary, Guaranteed Bonus amounts otherwise payable
     and any additional Annual Bonus the Board of Directors may deem appropriate
     shall be paid to you and your Option Shares shall continue to vest during
     such period of disability.

12.  If you die during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall
     terminate immediately; provided, however, that in such event, your spouse,
     if living, or your dependents, if your spouse is not living, shall receive
     twelve (12) months of continued Annual Salary payments hereunder, a pro-
     rata portion of your Guaranteed Bonus to the date of your death, any
     additional Annual Bonus the Board of Directors may deem appropriate,
     payment for accrued and unused vacation and unreimbursed expenses, and all
     other benefits accrued prior to the date of death, including vested Option
     Shares.

13.  While you are employed by the Company, you agree that without first
     disclosing to and obtaining the prior written consent of the President and
     Chief Executive Officer, you will not (i) engage in any business or be
     employed by any third

     person or entity, (ii) advice or consult with any person or entity which
     competes, directly or indirectly, with any of the Company's businesses or
     any businesses in which the Company maintains a financial interest, (iii)
     accept any gift, gratuity, benefit or interest of a material or
     substantial amount or nature (other than commonly accepted business
     practices for senior level executives in this industry, i.e., small gifts
     at holiday time, attending social events or seminars paid for by others),
     directly or indirectly, from any person or entity which does business with
     the Company, or its affiliates, or (iv) engage in any activity which
     creates or may create an actual or potential conflict of interest between
     such activity and your duty to act at all times in the best interests of
     the Company and not for your separate personal gain or profit; provided,
     however, that you may serve in any civic, educational or charitable
     organization without the approval of the Board, so long as such activities
     do not interfere materially with the full-time performance of your duties
     and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
     Company acknowledges and agrees that, until December 31, 2001, you shall be
     entitled to make yourself reasonably available to Sony Pictures
     Entertainment Inc. ("SPE") to advise SPE, at SPE's request, about matters
     as to which you have knowledge (other than the Company's Confidential
     Information).

14.  You acknowledge and agree that the Company shall own, in perpetuity and
     throughout the universe, all creative and ownership rights in and to all
     materials created, written, produced or worked on by you, or under your
     direction, during the course of and in connection with your employment by
     the Company including, without limitation, all Company business and
     financial plans, computer systems and interfaces, technology, operating
     systems and manuals, designs and diagrams, and all sales, marketing and
     promotional materials developed or created by you or under your direction,
     and all property rights of any kind therein emanating from your work. You
     hereby assign to the Company all such rights and materials, and the
     copyright, publishing, trademark, domain name, intellectual property and
     other enumerated and related rights pertaining thereto or to the Company's
     businesses, which the Company shall own and be entitled register, as it
     sees fit, in its or an affiliate's name, and for its sole benefit.

15.  Your employment may be terminated by the Company other than for "cause" as
     defined in paragraph 16 hereof, in which event the Company's sole
     obligations to you shall be a) to pay you (i) the unpaid portion of the
     agreed Annual Salary than in effect for your work performed prior to
     termination, (ii) your Annual Salary payable during each month of the
     remaining Term plus your Guaranteed Bonuses payable during such period and
     any additional Annual Bonus the Board of Directors may deem appropriate,
     both less applicable payroll withholding and deductions, all payable
     ratably during the remaining Term, (iii) unpaid auto allowance, other
     benefits (including accrued and unused vacation) and reimbursable expenses,
     if any, properly incurred and documented prior to the date of such
     termination; and (iv) your auto allowance for the remaining Term, and b) to
     provide for the continuation of all of your then existing employee

     benefits for a period of twenty-four (24) months from such termination date
     unless you obtain substantially similar benefits with another employer at
     an earlier date. In addition, your unvested Option Shares shall all
     immediately accelerate and vest as of the date of any such non-clause
     termination. You shall be entitled to receive these payments and benefits
     without any duty of mitigation, and without any Company right of offset,
     e.g., there shall be no diminution of such payments for benefits if you
     obtain other employment after such termination, except that upon qualifying
     for new health insurance, the Company's duty to maintain and pay for your
     Cobra coverage will terminate.

16.  In the event of your termination by the Company for "cause" as defined
     below, you shall be entitled only to payment for the items in paragraphs
     15(i) and 15(iii) above, plus pro-rata portion of your Guaranteed Bonus to
     the date of termination and the right to exercise your stock option in
     accordance with the new Option Plan for only those Option Shares which have
     fully vested as of the date of such termination, subject to offset for any
     material damage caused to the Company as a result of the conduct giving
     rise to such termination for cause. Upon any termination of your
     employment, whether with or without cause, you shall (a) return to the
     Company all of its materials in your possession or under your control,
     including all work in progress, work papers, computer discs and files,
     information and documents created or worked on by you for the Company, (b)
     provide a final report, if requested on the status of any work in progress
     or remaining to be done and (c) continue to comply with your non-disclosure
     and confidentiality obligations. For purposes of this agreement, "cause" is
     defined as (i) an act of dishonesty in connection with your duties and
     responsibilities as an employee and which either causes harm to the
     Company, or results in your substantial personal enrichment, (ii)
     conviction of a felony, (iii) a material violation of the conflict of
     interest provisions of paragraph 13 hereof, (iv) willful misconduct which
     results in material damage to the Company, or (v) a material breach of this
     Agreement by you that remains uncured fifteen (15) days after your receipt
     of written notice from the Company setting forth such breach with
     reasonable specificity. Termination for cause shall be effective upon
     delivery to you of a notice from the Company's Board of Directors stating
     that you have engaged in any of the above described "for cause" conduct and
     specifying the particulars thereof, and for cause under Section (v) that
     you have not timely cured such defaults after such notice.

17.  You may terminate your employment for "good reason" upon written notice to
     the Company, and in such event, such employment termination shall be
     treated as a termination by the Company for reasons other than cause, and
     you shall receive the payments and be entitled to all other rights and
     benefits (including accelerated vesting of unvested Option Shares) referred
     to in paragraph 15 hereof governing a termination without cause. For
     purposes of this agreement, "good reason" shall be defined as:

          (a) A material diminution of your title, office, position or
     authority;
<PAGE>

Sheldon Rabinowitz
September 15, 2000
Page 7 of 10

          (b)  The assignment to you of any duties inconsistent with your
               position, title, authority or material responsibilities or legal
               obligations, or the removal of your authority, title or material
               responsibilities;

          (c)  The failure of the Company to (i) timely make any payment due to
               you hereunder or (ii) comply with any of the material provisions
               of this agreement after written notice from you of such failure
               and the Company's failure to make such payment within five (5)
               business days of such notice, or to effect such compliance within
               a reasonable period of time.

          (d)  The occurrence of a change of control of the Company; and

          (e)  The failure of the Company to elect or re-elect you as a director
               of the Company, or your removal as a director of the Company.

          (f)  A requirement that you report to a person other than the
               President.

18.  For purposes of this Agreement, a "change of control" shall mean (A) the
     acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or
     series of related transactions (including, without limitation, a
     reorganization, merger or consolidation but, excluding any merger effected
     exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company); or
     (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in any
     transaction or series of related transactions, unless the Company's
     stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition
     or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of
     securities issued as consideration for such acquisition or sale or
     otherwise) hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or
     acquiring entity; or (C) one or more related transfers of capital stock of
     the Company which results, singly or in the aggregate, in a transfer more
     than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company, other than
     transfers by any stockholder of voting power to any of such stockholder's
     affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 12 (b)(2) promulgated under the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or such successor regulation).
     For the purpose of this Paragraph, the term, "affiliates" shall include any
     individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, business
     trust, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated association or joint
     venture which directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by,
     or is under common control with, such stockholder. For purposes of the
     preceding sentence, the term "control" shall mean the power, directly or
     indirectly, to (i) vote 51% or more of the voting securities of an entity,
     or (ii) direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of an
     entity as the sole trustee, general partner or sole managing member of such
     entity.

19.  For acts performed by you in good faith and within the course and scope of
     your employment (other than for willful misconduct), the Company shall
     indemnify, defend and hold you harmless against any third party claim or
     demand against you based upon or arising from any such acts. Upon your
     receipt or knowledge of any such indemnified claim, you shall promptly
     notify TVN in writing of the claim, tender the defense to TVN, cooperate
     with TVN and its counsel, and grant
<PAGE>

Sheldon Rabinowitz
September 15, 2000
Page 8 of 10


     TVN sole authority to control the defense and to settle such claim as it
     deems appropriate, including a dismissal or withdrawal of such claim
     against you. TVN will pay the costs of defense and any settlement, costs,
     attorney's fees and/or damages in a final, non-appealable judgment or award
     against you by a court of competent jurisdiction. You shall be added as an
     additional named insured under the Company's Directors and Officers
     insurance policy.

20.  If and to the extent that our current CEO renegotiates the terms of his
     employment agreement with the Company during the initial Term hereof, and
     consequently is granted an increase in his annual salary, guaranteed bonus
     (if any) and/or stock option grants, then the percentage increase in such
     terms shall apply to and similarly increase the corresponding terms of your
     employment as set forth herein.

21.  This contains our entire agreement for your employment by the Company; all
     prior and contemporaneous discussions, conversations and/or negotiations
     are merged herein. No representations have been made to you by the Company,
     or by any agent or representative thereof, or by you to the Company, other
     than those set forth herein and no agreements have been entered into, other
     than those expressly set forth herein. The terms of this employment
     agreement may not be modified or amended except by a document signed both
     by you and on behalf of the Company, and mutually executed fax copies shall
     be deemed originals, and may be used by either party as an original
     agreement. The laws of the State of California applicable to agreements
     which are to be performed wholly within such state shall govern this
     agreement, including its interpretation, construction, performance and
     enforcement. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the party whose
     rights are being waived, and no waiver by either party of any breach or by
     operation of any provision hereof, shall be, or be deemed to be, a waiver
     of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this
     agreement. This agreement may be signed by exchange of facsimile
     signatures, and mutually signed fax copies may be used by each party for
     all purposes as originals.

22.  All claims, disputes or issues relating to your employment, including
     without limitation, your hiring, work, performance, compensation, bonuses,
     stock options, benefits, and/or termination for any reason, or based upon a
     claim of discrimination of any kind (each "a dispute" herein), shall be
     resolved, if mutually desired, initially by non-binding mediation efforts
     conducted by the parties with the aid of an independent impartial mediator
     or mediation service, to be paid for equally by the parties. If such
     mediation efforts are unsuccessful in resolving such dispute in a mutually
     acceptable manner, or if either party does not wish to participate in or
     continue with mediation efforts, each and every dispute shall be finally
     resolved solely by binding arbitration in Burbank, California under the
     applicable Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
     Association then in effect. Arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive
     method for resolving any employment, hiring or termination related dispute,
     and both you and the

<PAGE>

Sheldon Rabinowitz

Page 9 of 10

     Company acknowledge and agree that each is giving up any right that either
     otherwise might have for a judge or jury to decide such dispute, but
     neither the arbitrator nor any court which may be asked to enforce any
     arbitration award shall have jurisdiction or authority to award any
     punitive or exemplary damages; provided, however, either you or the company
     may seek (i) equitable relief, including but not limited to injunctive
     relief, and (ii) an order compelling arbitration of any dispute, or
     enforcing any arbitration award, from a court of competent jurisdiction.
     The prevailing party in any such arbitration, as determined by the
     arbitrator(s), shall be entitled to his or its reasonable attorney's fees
     incurred in connection with, and the costs of, such arbitration proceeding,
     including the costs for the arbitrator(s).

23.  All disputes must be arbitrated pursuant to this Agreement, including, but
