Xxxxxx (the "Executive").
Parent and the Company desire to employ Executive and to enter into an
agreement embodying the terms of such employment;
Executive desires to accept such employment and enter into such an
agreement;
In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Agreement, Executive shall be employed by the Company for a period commencing on
the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement among Parent, the Company
and Abracadabra Acquisition Corporation) (the "Commencement Date") and ending on
the fourth anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "Employment Term") on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. POSITION. a. During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as
the Company's chief executive officer and Chief Internet Officer of Parent. In
such position, Executive shall have such duties and authority customary to the
internet industry (with the understanding that the Company is no longer a
stand-alone public company) reporting to the chief executive officer of Parent
(the "CEO"), such duties and authority to include, but not be limited to, (i)
supervision and oversight of all internet content, initiatives and acquisitions
by Parent and its subsidiaries worldwide including the activities of Company to
integrate Parent's traditional media operating units with the internet
operations of the Company and (ii) responsibility for all plans and strategy
consistent with budgets and policies prepared and/or recommended by Executive
and approved by the CEO. Executive acknowledges that integration of the
traditional media with the internet operations referred to in (i) above will
develop and increase over time and that such development shall not, in and of
itself, constitute a diminution of the duties or authority of the Executive.
Executive further acknowledges that it is not inconsistent with the duties and
authority of the Executive described above to have joint reporting by the
Parent's operating units to the Executive and other operating executives of
Parent, provided that the Company shall report solely to Executive. Executive
shall also serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Parent, the
Company or any of their subsidiaries without additional compensation.
b. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote
Executive's full business time and best commercial efforts to the performance of
Executive's duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business,
profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or
interfere with the rendition of such services either directly
2
or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the CEO; provided that
nothing herein shall preclude Executive, subject to the prior approval of the
CEO, from accepting appointment to or continue to serve on any board of
directors or trustees of any business corporation or any charitable
organization; provided in each case, and in the aggregate, that such activities
do not conflict or interfere with the performance of Executive's duties
hereunder or conflict with Section 9.
3. BASE SALARY. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay
Executive a base salary (the "Base Salary") at the minimum annual rate of
$600,000, payable in regular installments in accordance with the Company's usual
payment practices. Executive shall be entitled to such increases in Executive's
Base Salary, if any, as may be determined from time to time in the sole
discretion of the CEO. Such Base Salary review shall occur at least on an annual
basis.
4. ANNUAL BONUS. With respect to each calendar year during the
Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus award (an
"Annual Bonus") in such amount, as determined in the sole discretion of the CEO
based upon the achievement of performance goals established by the CEO within
the first three months of each calendar year during the Employment Term,
provided that the minimum bonus for any calendar year during the Term shall be
$1,650,000 (the "Minimum Bonus"). Any bonus shall be prorated for any partial
calendar year based on the number of days in such calendar year in which
Executive performed services divided by 365. Such Annual Bonus shall be paid no
later than March 31 of the year following the end of the measuring calendar
year.

Parent's common stock ("Shares") at an exercise price equal to thirty
percent (30%) of the fair market value per Share on the Commencement
Date. The Options shall vest, subject to Executive's continued
employment with the Company or a subsidiary, with respect to
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares covered by the Options on the
first anniversary of the Commencement Date and with respect to an
additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares covered by the
Options on each anniversary thereafter, so that the Options would

respect to an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Units on each

described in clauses (A) through (D) hereof being referred to as the "Accrued
Rights").
Following such termination of Executive's employment by the Company for
Cause or resignation by Executive without Good Reason, except as set forth in
this Section 8(a)(iii), Executive shall have no further rights to any
compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
b. BY THE COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE OR RESIGNATION BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD
REASON OR FOR DEATH OR DISABILITY.
(i) The Employment Term and Executive's employment hereunder
shall terminate upon Executive's death and may be terminated by the Company if
Executive becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable
for a period of six (6) consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine (9)
months in any eighteen (18) consecutive month period to perform Executive's
duties (such incapacity is hereinafter referred to as "Disability"). Any
question as to the existence of the Disability of Executive as to which
Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a
qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Executive and the
Company. If Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent
physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall
select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination
of Disability made in writing to the Company and Executive shall be final and
conclusive for all purposes of the Agreement.
(ii) The Employment Term and Executive's employment hereunder may
be terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive's resignation for

constitutes Good Reason; provided, further, that "Good Reason" shall cease to
exist for an event on the 60th day following the later of its occurrence or
Executive's knowledge thereof, unless Executive has given the Company written
notice thereof prior to such date. Executive acknowledges that the reduction of
position constituting a right to resign for Good Reason under clause (B) above
must be more significant, than the diminution of position constituting a right
to resign for Diminution, as described below.
5

Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive:

and
(C) One-half of all Options and one-half of all
Units not yet vested shall be fully vested,
(iii) The parties agree that the Executive's
determination to resign for Diminution shall be binding on the Company unless
the Executive acted in bad faith in making such determination.
6
(iv) Following a resignation for Diminution, except as
