following Percentage Interests in the Partnership:

                            Company            51%
                            Greenberg          49%
                                              ----
                            Total             100%
                                              ----

         Section 3.1.2 Adjustments. Unless otherwise agreed by all of the
Partners, no adjustment to the Percentage Interest of either Partner shall be
made except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or as a result of a
permitted transfer of a Partner's Percentage Interest or a portion thereof
pursuant to the express terms hereof.

         Section 3.2 Capital Contributions. The Partners (and/or their
predecessors) have contributed various assets to the capital of the Partnership,
which assets have been accepted by the Partnership at their fair market value at
the time of contribution. Within 60 days following the date of this Agreement,
the Administrative Partner shall prepare a statement based on the Partnership's
books and records confirming the aggregate contributions by each Partner (and/or
their predecessors) and the current capital account balances of each Partner.

         Section 3.3 Additional Capital Contributions.

                 3.3.1 Since the formation of the Partnership no additional
capital contributions or loans have been made to the Partnership as a result of
cash flow from operations being sufficient to fund the Partnership's cash needs.
To the extent that the Partnership requires additional funds in the future, such
funds shall be contributed to the


                                       6
<PAGE>

Partnership by the Partners as Additional Capital Contributions in an amount
proportionate to the Percentage Interests of the Partners in the Partnership.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Partners covenant and agree with each other
to contribute, in cash, to the capital of the Partnership their respective
shares of any other monies that the Management Committee determines are required
for conducting the Partnership's Business or for implementing and funding the
"Budget" approved in accordance with SECTION 6.6 hereof; provided, however, that
any such Additional Capital Contribution shall be subject to the consent of each
Partner.

                 3.3.2 If, as and when the Management Committee, in the exercise
of reasonable business judgment and in good faith, determines that funds (the
"REQUIRED FUNDS") are either required for the operation of the Business of the
Partnership or necessary to implement the Budget, the Management Committee
shall, by written notice (the "CASH NEEDS NOTICE") to the Partners, given at any
time or from time to time after the date hereof, call upon each Partner to
advance to the Partnership an amount (such Partner's "REQUESTED AMOUNT") equal
to the product of such Partner's Percentage Interest in the Partnership
multiplied by the amount of the Required Funds. The Cash Needs Notice and any
accompanying material shall set forth in reasonable detail the actual or
estimated amount of the Required Funds for the period for which the Cash Needs
Notice is being given, and shall itemize how the Required Funds will be applied.
Within 30 days after the date of the Cash Needs Notice, each Partner shall
advance its Requested Amount to the Partnership. The advances of the Partners
under this Section 3.3.2 shall be made as loans ("CASH NEEDS Loans") to the
Partnership by the Partners. The interest on any Cash Needs Loan shall be
payable at the rate of 2% per annum in excess of the Prime Rate, but in no event
shall the interest payable exceed the maximum rate allowable under applicable
law. Any such interest in any fiscal year which is not paid shall, to the extent
not prohibited by law, be added to the principal amount of such Cash Needs Loans
at the end of such fiscal year.

         Section 3.4 Capital Accounts.

                 3.4.1 The Partnership shall maintain a "CAPITAL ACCOUNT" for
each Partner in accordance with this SECTION 3.4.

                       (a) Each Capital Account shall be maintained and adjusted
for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the applicable requirements
of Code Section 704(b) and the applicable provisions of the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time, including the
corresponding provisions of any succeeding regulations relating to the
allocation of tax attributes to Partners (the "REGULATIONS"). Each Partner's
Capital Account shall be credited with (i) the amount of cash and the fair
market value of other property (net of liabilities that the Partnership is
considered to assume or take subject to, under Code Section 752) contributed by
such Partner to the capital of the Partnership and (ii) allocations to it
pursuant to Article 4 of Partnership income and gain (or items thereof). A
Partner's Capital Account shall be debited with (i) the amount of cash and the
fair market value of other property distributed to it (net of liabilities that
such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to, under Code Section
752), (ii) allocations to it of expenditures of the Partnership described in
Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and (iii) allocations to it pursuant to Article 4 of
deductions and losses (or items thereof). If any property, other than cash, is
distributed to the Partners, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be
adjusted

                                       7
<PAGE>

as if the property had instead been sold by the Partnership for a price equal to
its fair market value and the proceeds of such sale distributed to the Partners.

                       (b) No Partner shall be entitled to interest on any
Capital Contributions or on such Partner's Capital Account, notwithstanding any
disproportion therein as between Partners, and no Partner shall have the right
to demand the return of its Capital Contributions or the value of its Capital
Account, except and only to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement.

                 3.4.2 Capital Accounts. Following the execution of this
Agreement, the Administrative Partner shall prepare a statement reflecting the
current capital accounts of the Partners as provided under Section 3.2 hereof.

                 3.4.3 Compliance with Code. The provisions of this Agreement
relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent with such regulation.

credits with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the
Partnership shall be allocated, solely for tax purposes, among the Partners so
as to account for any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to
the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the
time of contribution. The Partnership shall use the remedial allocation method
for purposes of Section 704(c).

                 4.2.2 This SECTION 4.2 is intended to comply with Code Section
704(c) and the regulations promulgated thereunder and shall be interpreted and
applied in a manner consistent therewith.

         Section 4.3 Transfer of Interest. In the event of a transfer of all or
part of an interest in the Partnership (in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement) at any time other than the end of a Fiscal Year, or the
admission of an additional partner, the shares of items of income or loss and
specially allocated items allocable to the interest transferred shall be
allocated between the transferor and the transferee in a manner determined by

(the "BUDGET") setting forth the estimated receipts and expenditures of the
Partnership for such year; and (ii) a business plan (the "PLAN"), setting forth
the activities and projects to be undertaken and the actions to be taken by the
Partnership for such year. The Chief Executive Partner shall then submit the
Budget and Plan to the Management Committee and the Management Committee shall
then meet to review and approve the same (the "BUDGET MEETING"). After such time
as the Budget and Plan have been approved by the Management Committee, the Chief
Executive Partner shall be authorized, without the need for further approval by
the other Partners, to make the expenditures and incur the obligations provided

third parties, and (ii) prior written approval is obtained from the Partners not
receiving such payment.

         Section 6.8 Time Required of Greenberg as Chief Executive Partner;

and Greenberg hereby agrees to serve, as the Chief Executive Partner of the
Partnership for a period of no less than ten (10) years after the date hereof,
and for such period of time thereafter as Greenberg shall desire, but in each
case only for so long as Greenberg is physically and mentally capable of
fulfilling the requirements of the Chief Executive Partner under this Agreement
including this Section 6.8), and that, so long as he holds such office,
Greenberg shall be required to devote sufficient time, energy and attention to
the operation and conduct of the Partnership's Business for him to provide
adequate day-to-day decision making and supervision of such Business, consistent
with Greenberg's past practices with respect to such Business. Greenberg shall

         Section 8.1 Tax Returns and "Tax Matters Partner". The Administrative
Partner shall be and shall have all of the rights and powers of the
Partnership's "TAX MATTERS PARTNER" as such term is defined in the Code. The Tax
Matters Partner shall prepare or cause to be prepared (and the Partnership's

matters relating to the Partnership. Copies of all tax returns of the

including extensions thereof if any. If any Partner shall fail to approve any
such return at least five (5) days prior to the statutory date for filing, the
Tax Matters Partner shall file or cause to be filed an application for extension
of time to file such return. If any Partner shall thereafter fail to approve any
such return at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the last lawful

behalf of the Partnership. In the event the Partnership is not subject to the
consolidated audit rules of Code Section 6221 through 6234, the Partners hereby
agree to sign an election pursuant to Code Section 6231(a)(l)(B)(ii) to be filed
with the Partnership's next federal income tax return to have such consolidated
audit rules apply to the Partnership. Actual expenses incurred by the
Administrative Partner as the Tax Matters Partner or in a similar capacity as
set forth in this Section 8 shall be borne by the Partnership as Partnership
expenses. Such expenses shall include, without limitation, fees of attorneys and
other tax professionals, accountants, appraisers and experts, filing fees and
reasonable out-of-pocket costs.

otherwise required by applicable law.

by any Partner, make the election under Code Section 754 provided, however, that
the cost of preparing said election and any additional expenses occasioned by
said election, shall be borne by the Partner(s) benefiting from such election.

         Section 8.4 Section 708 Termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of

                        TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
                        --------------------------------

         Section 9.1 Transferability. Except as otherwise provided herein, no
Partner shall sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage,
hypothecate or otherwise encumber, or permit or suffer an encumbrance of all or
any part of its interest in the Partnership without the prior written consent of
the other Partners, which consent may be withheld for any or no reason, and any
attempt to so transfer without such consent shall be null and void; provided,
however, that any Partner shall have the right to transfer all or any part of
its interest in the Partnership to any Affiliate without such consent (subject
to Section 9.3 hereof); and provided further, that any Partner may transfer all
(but not less than all) of its interest in the Partnership without such consent
(subject to Section 9.3 hereof) if such transfer is made in accordance with the
following terms of this Section 9.1. In the event that a Partner (a "SELLING
PARTNER") desires to make a bona fide sale and transfer of that Partner's entire
Percentage Interest, other than to an Affiliate, the Selling Partner shall
notify the other Partner in writing (the "SALE NOTICE") specifying the proposed
sales price (the "PRICE"), closing date and all other terms of the desired
transfer (the "SALE TERMS"), and the other Partner shall have a period of
fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the "EXPIRATION DATE") to
elect to purchase the Selling Partner's Percentage Interest for the Price by
written notice to the Selling Partner of such election (an "ELECTION"). In the
event no Election is received by the Selling Partner on or before the Expiration
Date, the Selling Partner shall be free to complete a bona fide sale of the
Percentage Interest on the Sale Terms during the sixty (60) day period following
the Expiration Date (but only if Section 9.3 hereof is complied with upon or
prior to the consummation of any such sale), but not otherwise. Each Partner who
makes an Election shall be bound to purchase the Percentage Interest for the
Price, and such Price may be paid either in accordance with the Sale Terms or in
cash, at the purchasing Partner's option. The closing of such sale to the
Partner making an Election shall be made at such time as called for in the Sale
Terms, but not sooner than thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date, and title
to the Percentage Interest shall be conveyed at such closing free and clear of
any and all claims, liens or encumbrances, except for those previously approved
by the parties.

         Section 9.2 Transfers By Greenberg. Any transfer by Greenberg of his
interest in the Partnership, to an Affiliate or otherwise, shall not relieve
Greenberg of his obligation to serve as Chief Executive Partner pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, which obligation shall survive and continue to bind
Greenberg notwithstanding any such assignment.

         Section 9.3 Admission of Transferees as Partners; Notice of
Restrictions to Transferees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, no transferee of any interest in the Partnership, whether by
voluntary assignment, by operation of law, or otherwise, shall have any interest
in the Partnership or under this Agreement unless and until such transferee
becomes a partner of the Partnership and assumes the obligations of a partner


                                       15
<PAGE>

of the Partnership by executing and delivering to the Partnership a document
whereby the transferee assumes the obligations of the transferor partner. In
addition to any other requirements of this Agreement, (i) no partner shall
transfer or attempt to transfer any interest in the Partnership (and no transfer
of any interest in the Partnership shall occur or be effective (or be deemed to
have occurred)) until after such time as the transferee has received notice of
the transfer restrictions in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this
Article 9 and this Section 9.3), and (ii) each partner agrees that it shall give
(or cause to be given) such notice prior to any transfer of any of such
partner's interest in the Partnership (whether such transfer is voluntary or
involuntary or otherwise), and that no such transfer shall be made or effective
or deemed to be made prior to the giving of such notice to the transferee.

in this Agreement, the Chief Executive Partner may enter into agreements on
behalf of the Partnership with, and may pay fees to, Affiliates of the Partners,
for bookkeeping, accounting, tax, tax reporting or other services provided to it
by any such persons so long as, in each case, each member of the Management
Committee who is not appointed by the Partner whose Affiliate the Partnership is
to enter into an agreement with has approved the terms of such agreement.

Partnership.

         Section 11.2 Disposition of Documents and Records. All documents and
records of the Partnership, including, without limitation, all financial
records, vouchers, canceled checks and bank statements, shall be delivered to
the Administrative Partner upon termination of the Partnership. The
Administrative Partner shall retain such documents and


                                       16
<PAGE>

records for a period of not less then seven (7) years and shall, upon reasonable
notice make such documents and records available during normal business hours to
the other Partners for inspection and copying at the other Partners' cost and
expense, provided, however, that if there is an audit or threat of audit such
documents and records shall be retained until the audit is completed and any tax
liability is finally determined.

Insurance, the premiums on which shall be payable by Partners other than

Insurance Under Section 6.8; Cooperation of Dr. Greenberg. The parties
acknowledge that the Key Man insurance described in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 above
is separate and distinct from the life insurance paid by the Partnership under
Section 6.8 hereof, in that the Key Man insurance inures to the benefit of
Partner(s) other than Greenberg and the premiums on such insurance are payable
by Partner(s) other than Greenberg; whereas, the life insurance paid by the
Partnership under Section 6.8 inures to the benefit of Greenberg's estate and
the premiums on such insurance are payable by the Partnership. Greenberg agrees
to cooperate with the Partnership and other Partner(s) in connection with
obtaining and maintaining any and all such insurance, including, without
limitation, submitting to reasonable examinations by, or at the request of, any
applicable insurer, and to use his best efforts to assist in obtaining such
insurance.

copyrights with respect to such materials. Furthermore, the Partners hereby
transfer, convey, grant, assign and relinquish exclusively to the Partnership
whatever right, title and interest in and to the Proprietary Rights that the
Partners may have under any and all patent, copyright, trademark and trade
secret laws, in perpetuity or for the longest period otherwise permitted by
applicable law.

         Section 13.3 Income and Royalties. Greenberg hereby assigns to the
Partnership (and confirms that pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Original Purchase
Agreement he previously assigned to the Partnership) all of Greenberg's right,
title and interest in and to any and all royalties and other income relating to
the books, magazines and other publications described in Sections 13.l and 13.2
of this Agreement and the Original Purchase Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Existing Contracts and the Proprietary Rights. Greenberg agrees
he shall use his reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent to such
assignment by all necessary parties, including, without limitation, appropriate
publishers and collaborators. To the extent not assignable or assigned, all such
royalties and other income received since the date of the Original Purchase
Agreement or hereafter relating to the foregoing shall be remitted promptly by
Greenberg to the Partnership, after payment of permissions and other fees
required to be paid to collaborators. Greenberg and the Partnership agree to
take all reasonable actions and to make, execute and deliver such written
agreements as shall from time to time be reasonably necessary to carry out the
intent of this Section 13.3, all as determined in the reasonable discretion of
the Administrative Partner. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the
contrary, Greenberg does not assign Greenberg's rights under that certain
Consulting Agreement (and the Packaging Agreement referred to therein) between
Greenberg and Big Entertainment, Inc. (predecessor to the Company).

                 14.2.2 Effective Date. All notices, demands and requests shall
be effective upon actual receipt at the specified address; provided, however,
that rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of
changed address of which no notice was given as provided in Subsection 14.2.3
shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand or request sent.

                 14.2.3 Changes. By giving to the other parties at least thirty
(30) days' written notice thereof, the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns shall have the right from time to time and at
any time during the term of this Agreement to change their respective addresses
for notices and each shall have the right to specify as its address for notices
any other address within the United States of America.

         Section 14.3 Attorneys' Fees. Should any litigation be commenced
between the parties hereto or their representatives or should any party
institute any proceeding in a


                                       20
<PAGE>

bankruptcy or similar court which has jurisdiction over any other party hereto
or any or all of its property or assets concerning any provision of this
Agreement or the rights and duties of any person or entity in relation thereto,
the party or parties prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled, in
addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum as and for
its or their attorneys' fees and court costs in such litigation, which shall be
determined by the court in such litigation or in a separate action brought for
that purpose.

         Section 14.4 Validity. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not
affect in any respect whatsoever the validity or enforceability of the remainder
of this Agreement.

         Section 14.5 Survival of Rights. Except as provided herein to the
contrary, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto, their respective legal representatives, executors, heirs and
permitted successors and assigns.

         Section 14.6 Arbitration; Governing Law. Any claim or controversy
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or a breach hereof shall, upon the
request of any party involved, be submitted to and settled by arbitration in the
County of Palm Beach, Florida and pursuant to the rules of the American
Arbitration Association or any other form of arbitration mutually acceptable to
the parties so involved. The decision made pursuant to such arbitration shall be
binding and conclusive on all parties involved; and a judgment upon such
decision may be entered in the highest court of any state or federal forum
having jurisdiction, with such jurisdiction located in the respective federal
and state courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 14.6, the request by either party for
specific performance or preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, whether
prohibitive or mandatory, shall not be subject to mandatory arbitration under
this Section 14.6 and may be adjudicated only by the courts of the State of
Florida or the U.S. District Court in Florida which are located in Palm Beach
County, Florida. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

         Section 14.7 Waiver. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by a
Partner to or of any breach or default by any other Partner in the performance
by such other Partner of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed
to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the
performance by such other Partner of the same or any other obligations of such
other Partner hereunder. Failure on the part of a Partner to complain of any act
or failure to act of any other Partner or to declare any other Partner in
default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a
waiver by such Partner of its rights hereunder. The giving of consent by a
Partner in any one instance shall not limit or waive the necessity to obtain
such Partner's consent in any future instance.

         Section 14.8 Remedies In Equity. The rights and remedies of either of
the Partners hereunder shall not be mutually exclusive, and the exercise of one
or more of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the exercise of any other
provisions hereof. Each of the Partners confirms that damages at law will be an
inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and agrees
that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, the
respective rights and obligations hereunder shall be enforceable by specific
performance, injunction or other equitable remedy, but nothing herein


                                       21
<PAGE>

contained is intended to, or shall it, limit or affect any rights at law or by
statute or otherwise of any party aggrieved as against the other for a breach or
threatened breach of any provision hereof, it being the intention of this
Section 14.8 to make clear the agreement of the Partners that the respective
rights and obligations of the Partners hereunder shall be enforceable in equity
as well as at law or otherwise, subject however to Section 14.6 hereof.

         Section 14.9 Terminology. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement,
whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, shall include all
other genders; and the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.

         Section 14.10 Section Headings. All Section headings used in this
Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions
of this Agreement itself.

         Section 14.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all
of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

         Section 14.12 Survival of Indemnity Obligations. Any and all indemnity
obligations of any party hereto shall survive any termination of the
Partnership.

         Section 14.13 Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to do all
acts and things and to make, execute and deliver such written instruments, as
shall from time to time be reasonably required to carry out the terms and
provisions of this Agreement.

         Section 14.14 Greenberg's Covenant not to Compete. Greenberg will not
become associated with, or engage in, or render service to, any business within
the United States that is competitive with the Business of the Partnership, or
otherwise compete with the Partnership (A) while Greenberg continues to be a
Partner, for so long as this Partnership remains in existence and continues to
do business; or (B) after such time as Greenberg is no longer a Partner, for a
period of five (5) years. In the event that the foregoing restrictions are found
to be unreasonable, and thereby unenforceable, by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such restrictions shall be deemed automatically and retroactively
modified in such a manner that such court determines to be required in order to
find such restrictions to then be enforceable. Greenberg acknowledges and agrees
that the covenants provided for in this Section 14.14 are reasonable and
necessary in terms of time, area and line of business to protect the
Partnership's legitimate business and property interests.
