                        PURCHASE PRICE AND ALLOCATION

2.1 PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price (the "Purchase Price") to be
paid to Sellers by PEI for the Purchased Assets, the license granted to PEI
under the Trademark License Agreement and the Non-Competition Covenants
will be the sum of the amounts described in Sections 2.2 and 2.3. Whenever
any payment under this Section 2 is due on a day that is not a Business
Day, such payment will instead be paid on the Business Day immediately
following the applicable payment date.

         2.1.1 Gross Purchase Price Allocation between Sellers. Subject to
         Section 2.6, each payment of the Purchase Price will be allocated
         40.37% to the Califa Assets and 59.63% to the VODI Assets. *****

         2.1.2 Acceleration of Payments. PEI may accelerate all or any
         portion of the remaining unpaid Purchase Price, but only by making
         the accelerated payment(s) in cash subject to the following:

         (a) From the Closing until the end of the 18th month following the
         Closing, PEI may not accelerate any portion of the remaining unpaid
         Purchase Price unless the parties mutually agree in good faith
         negotiations upon a discount rate to be applied to the outstanding
         payments in order to determine the accelerated payment(s).

         (b) From the beginning of the 19th month following the Closing
         until the end of the 36th month following the Closing, PEI may
         elect to accelerate all or any portion of the remaining unpaid
         Purchase Price as follows: PEI will notify Sellers of its intention
         to accelerate and the parties will negotiate in good faith to
         determine the appropriate discount rate to be applied to the
         outstanding payments in order to determine the accelerated
         payment(s). If the parties are unable to agree on such a discount
         rate within 10 Business Days of the notice of PEI's intent to
         accelerate, PEI may, at its sole discretion, elect to accelerate
         payment at a 10% discount rate.

         (c) After the end of the 36th month following the Closing, PEI may
         elect to accelerate all or any portion of the remaining unpaid
         Purchase Price as follows: PEI will notify Sellers of its intention
         to accelerate and the parties will negotiate in good faith to
         determine the appropriate discount rate to be applied to the
         outstanding payments in order to determine the accelerated
         payment(s). If the parties are unable to agree on such a discount
         rate within 10 Business Days of the notice of PEI's intent to
         accelerate, PEI may, at its sole discretion, elect to accelerate
         payment at a 12% discount rate.

         (d) *****

         2.1.3 Late Cash Payments. If PEI does not make any cash payments
         owing to Sellers when due, PEI will pay Sellers interest on the
         cash due as follows (such interest will accrue from but will
         exclude the date payment was due and will include the date payment
         is made and will be paid together with the relevant cash payment):

         (a) Prime Rate on the date the payment was due plus 200 basis
         points for the first 90 days following the date the cash payment
         was due; and

         (b) Prime Rate on the date the payment was due plus 400 basis
         points for the 91st through 180th day following the date the cash
         payment was due.

         2.1.4 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Sellers
         may, in their sole discretion but upon delivering not less than 5
         Business Days' written notice to PEI, exercise any or all of the
         following rights:

         (a) Accelerate (i) the remaining unpaid Purchase Price due under
         this Agreement and require the immediate payment in cash thereof,
         and *****; provided however that if Sellers accelerate the Purchase
         Price pursuant to this Section 2.1.4(a) and PEI pays Sellers the
         remaining unpaid Purchase Price in cash due under this Agreement,
         Sellers may not exercise any other remedy provided for below;

         (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 11, file suit and
         obtain judgment to collect all amounts owing from PEI;

         (c) Terminate the Non-Competition Covenants; provided that if the
         Non-Competition Covenants are terminated (under this Agreement or
         the Output Agreement) PEGI's Affiliate PEI will be deemed to have
         automatically released MediaPath LLC, a Connecticut limited
         liability company and James Cofer, an individual, from covenants in
         favor for PEI contained in the terms of that certain Termination
         and Non-Competition Agreement dated June 26, 2001 between Califa,
         VODI and PEI, on the one hand, and MediaPath and Cofer, on the
         other hand.

         (d) Terminate the Trademark License Agreement and the Output
         Agreement.

         under Sections 2.2.1(a), (c), (d) and (e), PEI may pay Sellers, at

         Sections 2.2 and 2.3 (or any portion thereof) by delivering stock
         certificates representing the number of PEI Shares with an
         aggregate Per Share Value equal to the applicable payment due. All
         such stock payments will be made in accordance with the terms of
         Section 2.5.

         (a) If any portion of the payment due under Section 2.2.1(b) is

cash, the following amounts (the "Performance-Based Purchase Price"):

         2.3.1 $5 million within 59 days of December 31, 2002; provided that
         Gross Receipts exceed $***** for fiscal year ended December 31,
         2002.

         Gross Receipts exceed $***** for fiscal year ended December 31,
         2003.

         2.3.3 *****

         2.3.4 Right to Audit and Inspect; Quarterly Reports.

         (a) PEI will keep and cause its Affiliates to keep an accurate set
         of books and records adequately showing the Gross Receipts. The
         Seller Parties and their duly authorized representatives will have
         the right within 3 months of the date payment is due under Sections
         2.3.1 and 2.3.2, if any, to audit and inspect during business hours
         (not more than once in each of 2003 and 2004) the books and records
         and any other data in any way pertaining to such Gross Receipts
         received by PEI and any Affiliates in the prior fiscal year.

              (i) If the Seller Parties' inspection or audit determines such
              Gross Receipts have been understated to the extent that no
              Performance-Based Purchase Price was paid pursuant to Sections
              2.3.1 or 2.3.2 when such payment was due, PEI will promptly
              pay the Performance-Based Purchase Price due no later than 30
              days after the determination thereof.

              (ii) If the Seller Parties' audit or inspection discloses, or
              PEI or any of its Affiliates otherwise discovers, such Gross
              Receipts have been overstated to the extent that no
              Performance-Based Purchase Price was due pursuant to Sections
              2.3.1 or 2.3.2 when such payment was made, the Seller Parties
              will refund the Performance-Based Purchase Price paid no later
              than 30 days after determination thereof.

         (b) PEI will send or cause to be sent a quarterly report to the
         Seller Parties showing the applicable Gross Receipts received
         during such quarter not later than 60 days after the end of each
         calendar quarter of 2002 and 2003.

2.4 PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION. In addition to the gross Purchase Price
allocation set forth in Section 2.1.1, the Purchase Price will be allocated
among the Califa Assets, the VODI Assets, the license granted to PEI under
the Trademark License Agreement, and the Non-Competition Covenants as set
forth in Schedule 2.4. PEI and the Seller Parties agree that such
allocation will be used, reported and implemented for all federal, state,
local and other accounting and tax purposes.

2.5  ISSUANCE OF PEI SHARES.

         2.5.1 Resale Registration.

         (a) PEI will prepare and file, as promptly as practicable after the
         Closing Date, a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the
         "Initial Registration Statement") under the Securities Act,
         covering the potential issuance of PEI Shares pursuant to this
         Agreement with an aggregate Per Share Value of $16 million and will
         use reasonable best efforts (i) to cause the Initial Registration
         Statement to be declared effective as soon as reasonably
         practicable, and (ii) to maintain the effectiveness of the Initial
         Registration Statement for the Initial Selling Period (as defined
         below) and for any Additional Selling Periods (as defined below) to
         the extent PEI Shares covered by the Initial Registration Statement
         constitute Eligible Shares for any such Additional Selling Period.

         (b) PEI will, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no
         event later than 3 Business Days after receiving Sellers' properly
         completed Eligible Shares Election Form (as defined below), to the
         extent permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, file
         one or more additional shelf registration statements on Form S-3
         (each, an "Additional Registration Statement") covering potential
         future issuances of PEI Shares pursuant to this Agreement and will
         use reasonable best efforts (i) to cause the Additional
         Registration Statement(s) to be declared effective as soon as
         reasonably practicable, and (ii) to maintain the effectiveness of
         the Additional Registration Statement(s) for the applicable Selling
         Period (as defined below) to the extent PEI Shares covered by such
         Additional Registration Statement constitute Eligible Shares for
         any other Additional Selling Period.

         (c) The number of PEI Shares issued with respect to any payment
         will be determined as follows: (i) to the extent PEI Shares not
         previously issued as part of a payment are available for resale
         pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement or an Additional
         Registration Statement, the number of PEI Shares issued will be
         determined at the time of payment by dividing (A) the aggregate
         stock consideration to be paid by (B) the Per Share Value, and (ii)
         to the extent PEI Shares not previously issued as part of a payment
         are not available for resale pursuant to the Initial Registration
         Statement or an Additional Registration Statement, the number of
         PEI Shares to be issued with respect to such payment will be
         determined at the time such Initial Registration Statement or
         Additional Registration Statement, as the case may be, becomes
         effective by dividing (A) the aggregate stock consideration to be
         paid by (B) the Per Share Value on the date such Initial
         Registration Statement or Additional Registration Statement becomes
         effective. PEI will bear all registration costs and selling
         commissions (to the extent set forth in Section 2.5.6(d)).

         (d) PEI agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to consult
         with the Sellers prior to filing the Initial Registration Statement
         or any Additional Registration Statement.

         2.5.2 Selling Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Initial
         Selling Period" will mean the period beginning on September 14,
         2001 or the date the Initial Registration Statement is first
         declared effective, if later, and ending on the earlier of (a) the
         date that is 90 days thereafter, as extended pursuant to Sections
         2.5.3(c) and 2.5.4 and (b) the date all Eligible Shares (as defined
         below) covered by the Initial Registration Statement will have been
         sold as contemplated therein. For purposes of this Agreement,
         "Additional Selling Period" will mean the period beginning on March
         1 of each year beginning in 2002 or the date the Additional
         Registration Statement with respect to Eligible Shares to be issued
         with respect to such Additional Selling Period is first declared
         effective, if later, and ending on the earlier of (a) the date that
         is 90 days thereafter, as extended pursuant to Sections 2.5.3(c)
         and 2.5.4 and (b) the date all Eligible Shares for that Additional
         Selling Period will have been sold as contemplated therein. For
         purposes of this Agreement, "Performance-Based Selling Period" will
         mean the period beginning on the date Eligible Shares are issued as
         payment for any Performance Based Purchase Price or the date the
         Additional Registration Statement with respect to Eligible Shares
         to be issued in connection therewith is first declared effective,
         if later, and ending on the earlier of (a) the date that is 90 days
         thereafter, as extended pursuant to Sections 2.5.3(c) and 2.5.4,
         and (b) the date all Eligible Shares for that Selling Period will
         have been sold as contemplated therein. The Initial Selling Period,
         any Additional Selling Period or any Performance-Based Selling
         Period may be referred to as a "Selling Period."

         2.5.3 Volume Limitation.

         (a) The number of Eligible Shares that Sellers may sell during the
         Initial Selling Period will not exceed the product of (i) the
         average of the daily trading volume of PEI Shares for the prior
         eight calendar weeks ending on the second day prior to the
         beginning of the Initial Selling Period and (ii) 40. The number of
         Eligible Shares that Sellers may sell during any trading day during
         the Initial Selling Period will not exceed 50% of the average daily
         trading volume of the PEI Shares for the 30 trading days ending on
         the second trading day prior to the beginning of the Initial
         Selling Period. PEI will notify Sellers of the applicable volume
         limitations for the Initial Selling Period by no later than the day
         prior to the beginning of the Initial Selling Period. PEI may waive
         or modify (but only by making the limitations less restrictive) the
         volume limitations set forth in this Section 2.5.3(a) by delivering
         not less than 3 trading days' written authorization to Sellers
         (with a copy to Seller's designated broker).

         (b) The number of Eligible Shares that Sellers may sell during any
         Additional Selling Period or Performance-Based Selling Period, as
         the case may be, will not exceed the product of (i) the average of
         the daily trading volume of PEI Shares for the prior eight calendar
         weeks ending on the second day prior to the beginning of such
         Additional Selling Period or Performance-Based Selling Period, as
         the case may be, excluding any Eligible Shares, if applicable, sold
         during such measuring period and (ii) 30. The number of Eligible
         Shares that Sellers may sell during any trading day will not exceed
         25% of the average daily trading volume of the PEI Shares for the
         30 trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the
         beginning of any Additional Selling Period or Performance-Based
         Selling Period (if any), as the case may be, excluding any Eligible
         Shares, if applicable, sold during such measuring period. By no
         later than 3 days prior to the beginning of the Additional Selling
         Period or the Performance Based Selling Period, as the case may be,
         the Sellers will cause their broker to notify PEI in writing as to
         how many Eligible Shares were sold during the above measuring
         period. PEI will notify Sellers of the applicable volume
         limitations for the Additional Selling Period or Performance Based
         Selling Period, as the case may be, by no later than the day prior
         to the beginning of the Additional Selling Period or Performance
         Based Selling Period, as the case may be. PEI may waive or modify
         (but only by making the limitations less restrictive) the volume
         limitations set forth in this Section 2.5.3(b) by delivering not
         less than 3 trading days' written authorization to Sellers (with a
         copy to Sellers' designated broker).

         (c) If the foregoing volume limitations applicable to a Selling
         Period would not permit Sellers to sell all Eligible Shares
         relating to such Selling Period during the 90 day period referenced
         in Section 2.5.2, the Selling Period will be extended by the number
         of trading days required to sell such Eligible Shares assuming that
         the maximum number of Eligible Shares were sold during each trading
         day during the applicable Selling Period. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, if Sellers, using commercially reasonable efforts, are
         unable to sell all the Eligible Shares in any Selling Period by the
         dates set forth herein, then such Selling Period will be extended
         for an additional 5 trading days; provided that (i) Sellers notify
         PEI within 10 days of the end of the applicable Selling Period of
         their inability to sell all Eligible Shares during such Selling
         Period, (ii) such Eligible Shares will continue to be subject to
         all terms and conditions of this Section 2.5, and (iii) PEI will
         not accrue any interest from the end of the Selling Period through
         such 5 trading day period on the unsold Eligible Shares pursuant to
         clause (iii) of Section 2.5.3(d).

         (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections
         2.5.3(a), (b), (c), and 2.5.4 if at the end of 7 full calendar
         months following the initiation of any Selling Period ***** Sellers
         (whether or not PEI has exercised its right to institute a Blackout
         Period) have not sold all of the applicable Eligible Shares for
         that Selling Period *****, as the case may be, PEI will in its sole
         discretion either (i) eliminate the volume limitations with respect
         to those of the Eligible Shares unsold at the end of such Selling
         Period *****, as the case may be, that could not have been sold if
         Sellers sold the maximum number of Eligible Shares permitted under
         the applicable volume limitations (including any relaxation of the
         volume limitations by PEI pursuant to Sections 2.5.3(a) and (b) and
         2.5.6 (b)), if any, or (ii) maintain the applicable volume
         limitations with respect to the unsold Eligible Shares and increase
         the next payment of consideration by the amount of the interest
         accruing at the Prime Rate plus 200 basis points on the value of
         those of the Eligible Shares unsold at the end of such Selling
         Period *****, as the case may be, that could not have been sold if
         Sellers sold the maximum number of Eligible Shares permitted under
         the applicable volume limitations (including any relaxation of the
         volume limitations by PEI pursuant to Sections 2.5.3 (a) and (b)
         and 2.5.6 (b) if any, until such Eligible Shares are sold;
         provided, however, that to the extent such Selling Period *****, as
         the case may be, overlaps with a subsequent Selling Period,
         Eligible Shares *****, as the case may be, will be sold on a
         first-issued-first-sold basis so as to minimize the interest paid
         pursuant hereto.

         (e) Sales of Eligible Shares will be conducted in a commercially
         reasonable manner through market transactions by a nationally
         recognized major brokerage house chosen by Sellers. If requested by
         PEI, Sellers will cause such broker to provide PEI a list of all
         transactions effected during the applicable Selling Period. *****
         Sellers hereby agree that Eligible Shares not sold during the
         Selling Period applicable to such Eligible Shares will not be
         registered or resold pursuant to this Section 2.5 in any subsequent
         Selling Period and will be deemed converted into Investment Shares
         ("Converted Investment Shares"). If at any time prior to date that
         is 2 years after the date such Converted Investment Shares were
         issued, the Sellers sell or otherwise dispose of any Converted
         Investment Shares and the gross proceeds received by the Sellers
         from such sale equals the aggregate Per Share Value of such
         Converted Investment Shares on the date the Converted Investment
         Shares were issued (the "Cessation Date"), then Sellers will
         immediately cease the offering and sale of the remaining Converted
         Investment Shares and the remaining converted Investment Shares
         will be returned promptly to PEI (the "Excess Converted Investment
         Shares") along with any excess sales proceeds from the sale of such
         Converted Investment Shares. If Sellers fail to return such Excess
         Converted Investment Shares and excess sales proceeds within 15
         Business Days of the Cessation Date, Sellers will be deemed to have
         elected to retain such Excess Converted Investment Shares as
         Investment Shares and PEI will decrease the next scheduled payment
         of consideration pursuant to Section 2.2.2 to the Sellers in an
         amount (the "Excess Converted Investment Shares Sale Amount") equal
         to the excess sales proceeds plus the product of (i) the number of
         Excess Converted Investment Shares and (ii) the average per share
         sales price of the Converted Investment Shares with respect to such
         tranche of Converted Investment Shares. If Sellers fail to return
         such Excess Converted Investment Shares and the excess proceeds
         within the time period specified above and no further consideration
         pursuant to Section 2.2.2 is due to the Sellers under the
         Agreement, then Sellers will pay PEI the Excess Converted
         Investment Shares Sale Amount in cash within 20 Business Days of
         the Cessation Date.

         2.5.4 Blackout Periods. PEI will be entitled to postpone and/or
         suspend for a period of time, not to exceed 90 days (each, a
         "Blackout Period"), any Additional Selling Period,
         Performance-Based Selling Period *****, as the case may be, if PEI
         reasonably determines that the offering of any Eligible Shares by
         Sellers would impede, delay or interfere with any financing, offer
         or sale of securities, acquisition, corporate reorganization or
         other material transaction involving PEI or any of its Affiliates,
         or require disclosure of material information as to which
         disclosure at that time would not be in the best interest of PEI
         and its stockholders; provided, however, that the Blackout Period
         will earlier terminate upon public disclosure by PEI of such
         material information or completion or abandonment of such a
         transaction. Upon notice by PEI to Sellers of such determination,
         Sellers agree to (a) keep the fact of any such notice strictly
         confidential, (b) promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or
         transfer by Sellers of any Eligible Shares for the duration of the
         Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until earlier
         terminated by PEI) and (c) promptly halt any use, publication,
         dissemination or distribution of any registration statement, each
         prospectus included therein, and any amendment or supplement
         thereto for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such
         notice (or until earlier terminated by PEI). In the event PEI gives
         such notice, the Additional Selling Period, Performance-Based
         Selling Period *****, as the case may be, will be extended for a
         period equal to the lesser of the actual length of the Blackout
         Period and the number of days necessary to sell the applicable
         Eligible Shares. PEI cannot impose more than two Blackout Periods
         during any 360-day period and the consecutive cumulative length of
         any two Blackout Periods will not exceed 150 days. PEI will not
         impose a Blackout Period during the Initial Selling Period without
         Sellers' prior consent.

         2.5.5 Notice of Election.

         (a) By no later than September 3, 2001, PEI agrees to notify
         Sellers in writing of its election to pay the consideration due
         September 14, 2001 in cash, PEI Shares or a combination thereof. To
         the extent PEI elects to pay all or a portion of such consideration
         in PEI Shares, each Seller must notify PEI in writing within 5
         Business Days after receiving PEI's election notice of the amount
         of such stock consideration that such Seller intends to sell
         pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement (the "Initial
         Eligible Shares") and the amount of such stock consideration that
         such Seller will hold for investment (the "Initial Investment
         Shares") by delivering properly completed questionnaires in the
         form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the "Eligible Shares Election
         Form").

         (b) By no later than the tenth Business Day preceding March 1 of
         each year beginning in 2002, PEI agrees to notify Sellers in
         writing of its election to pay the applicable consideration due for
         such calendar year in cash, PEI Shares or a combination thereof. To
         the extent PEI elects to pay all or a portion of such consideration
         in PEI Shares, each Seller must notify PEI in writing within 5
         Business Days after receiving PEI's election notice of the amount
         of such stock consideration that such Seller intends to sell
         pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement or any Additional
         Registration Statement, as the case may be (the "Additional
         Eligible Shares") and the amount of such stock consideration that
         such Seller intends to hold for investment (the "Additional
         Investment Shares) by delivering a properly completed Eligible
         Shares Election Form.

         (c) By no later than the tenth Business Day preceding March 1 in
         any year that the Performance Based Purchase Price is to be paid,
         PEI agrees to notify the Sellers in writing of its election to pay
         such consideration in cash, PEI Shares or a combination thereof. To
         the extent PEI elects to pay all or a portion of the consideration
         in PEI Shares, each Seller must notify PEI in writing within 5
         Business Days after receiving PEI's election notice of the amount
         of such stock consideration that such Seller intends to sell
         pursuant to the Additional Registration Statement (the "Performance
         Based Eligible Shares," and together with the Initial Eligible
         Shares, the Additional Eligible Shares *****, the "Eligible
         Shares") and the amount of such stock consideration that such
         Seller intends to hold for investment (the "Performance Based
         Investment Shares," and together with the Initial Investment Shares
         and the Additional Investment Shares, the "Investment Shares") by
         delivering a properly completed Eligible Shares Election Form.

         (d) If any Seller fails to notify PEI in writing in accordance with
         the terms of this Section 2.5.5, of such Seller's election with
         respect to Eligible Shares, PEI will notify such Seller in writing
         of such failure. If within 3 days of delivery of such notice, such
         Seller fails to respond to PEI's notice, then such Seller will be
         deemed to have elected to designate the applicable PEI Shares as
         Eligible Shares; provided that (i) such Seller promptly delivers
         all information required in the Eligible Shares Election Form, (ii)
         any grace period provided for in Section 2.5.7 will not commence
         until such Seller complies with clause (i) above, and (iii) any
         period of time allowable before an Event of Default occurs will not
         commence until such Seller complies with clause (i) above. Without
         limiting the effect of any other provision in this Section 2.5, the
         applicable Selling Period will not be extended if Sellers fail to
         comply with clause (i) above within 10 calendar days of their
         receipt of the second notice from PEI under this Section 2.5.5(d).
         At all times during which any registration statement pursuant to
         this Section 2.5 is in effect, Sellers will promptly notify PEI in
         writing of any changes to the information set forth in the
         applicable Eligible Shares Election Form.

         (e) Sellers hereby acknowledge that (a) PEI will have no further
         obligations with respect to the registration of Investment Shares
         and Converted Investment Shares and *****. Sellers hereby agree
         not to sell or otherwise dispose of Investment Shares and
         Converted Investment Shares during any applicable Selling Period.

         2.5.6 *****

         2.5.7 Extraordinary Events. To the extent PEI elects to pay any
         consideration due under this agreement in stock:

         (a) If PEI does not issue registered stock to Sellers pursuant to
         Section 2.2.1(b) on or before September 14, 2001, such payment will
         be increased by interest accruing on the aggregate stock
         consideration until such stock is registered as follows: (a) 0% for
         the first 45 days, (b) Prime Rate plus 200 basis points for the
         next 90 days, and (c) Prime Rate plus 400 basis points thereafter;

         (b) If PEI does not issue registered stock to Sellers pursuant to
         Section 2.2.2 on or before March 1 of any year in which Additional
         Base Consideration is to be paid in stock, such payment will be
         increased by interest accruing on the aggregate stock
         consideration until such stock is registered as follows: (a) 0%
         for the first 45 days, (b) Prime Rate plus 200 basis points for
         the next 90 days and (c) Prime Rate plus 400 basis points
         thereafter; and

         (c) If PEI does not issue registered stock to Sellers pursuant to
         Section 2.3 on or before March 1 of any year in which Performance
         Based Purchase Price is to be paid in stock, such payment will be
         increased by interest accruing on the aggregate stock consideration
         until such stock is registered as follows: (a) 0% for the first 45
         days, (b) Prime Rate plus 200 basis points for the next 90 days and
         (c) Prime Rate plus 400 basis points thereafter.

         2.5.8 Voluntary Suspension Period. Notwithstanding anything to the
         contrary contained in this Section 2.5, if at any time during any
         Selling Period ***** the market value of PEI Shares falls below 75%
         of the Per Share Value of the Eligible Shares on the date of
         issuance of such Eligible Shares, PEI will have the option, but not
         the obligation, to notify Sellers to suspend the sale of Eligible
         Shares for a period not to exceed 30 days (each a "Suspension
         Period"). Upon receipt of such notice, Sellers agree to (a)
         promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or transfer by Sellers of
         any Eligible Shares for the duration of the Suspension Period set
         forth in such notice (or until earlier terminated by PEI) and (b)
         promptly halt any use, publication, dissemination or distribution
         of any registration statement, each prospectus included therein,
         and any amendment or supplement thereto for the duration of the
         Suspension Period set forth in such notice (or until earlier
         terminated by PEI). PEI will not suspend trading pursuant to this
         Section 2.5.8 during the Initial Selling Period without Sellers'
         prior consent. PEI may suspend trading pursuant to this Section
         2.5.8 no more than once in any Selling Period *****, as the case
         may be. If PEI suspends trading pursuant to this Section 2.5.8,
         then PEI will pay interest accruing at the Prime Rate plus 200
         basis points on the value of those of the Eligible Shares unsold,
         if any, at the 91st day after the commencement of the Selling
         Period *****, as the case may be, that could not have been sold if
         Sellers sold the maximum number of Eligible Shares permitted under
         the applicable volume limitations during the Suspension Period
         (including any relaxation of the volume limitations by PEI pursuant
         to Sections 2.5.3 (a) and (b) and 2.5.6(b)) for the number of days
         of the Suspension Period. If PEI suspends trading pursuant to this
         Section 2.5.8, then the Selling Period *****, as the case may be,
         will be extended by the number of days of the Suspension Period.

         2.5.9 Legends; Securities Laws Compliance. Sellers acknowledge that
         any PEI Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement will bear any and
         all appropriate state and federal securities law legends. Sellers
         agree that they will comply with all state and federal securities
         laws relating to the sale and distribution of PEI Shares issued to
         them pursuant to this Agreement, including delivering the
         prospectus provided by PEI for resales pursuant to the Initial
         Registration Statement or any Additional Registration Statement.

         enter into this Agreement and to transfer, convey and sell to PEI
         at the Closing its respective Purchased Assets pursuant to the
         terms of this Agreement. The tangible, physical Purchased Assets

         Agreement and all other agreements herein contemplated or the
         transfer, conveyance and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to
         the terms hereof.

         4.3.2 This Agreement and any related agreements have been duly

         accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be
         limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
         other similar laws and equitable principles relating to or limiting
         creditors rights generally, subject to the unenforceability under
         certain circumstances of covenants not to compete.

         4.3.3 Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this
         Agreement or related agreements, nor the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of the terms

         execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or related
         agreements, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
         hereby, nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof, by any of the
         Seller Parties results in or will result in (a) any augmentation or
         acceleration of rights, benefits or obligations of any party under

         Seller Parties is a party or is bound or subject to or (b) the

         delivery of this Agreement by each of the Seller Parties and the
         performance of this Agreement and any related or contemplated
         transactions by each of the Seller Parties will not require filing
         or registration with, or the issuance of any Permit by, any other
         third party or Governmental Entity.

4.4  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; NO CHANGES; NO OTHER LIABILITIES OR CONTINGENCIES.

         4.4.1 The Sellers have delivered to PEI the Financial Statements,
         which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
         applied (except for changes, if any, required by GAAP and disclosed
         therein). The income statements included in the Financial
         Statements present fairly in all material respects the operations
         of each of the Sellers for the period covered, and the balance
         sheets included in the Financial Statements present fairly in all
         material respects the financial condition of each of the Sellers as
         of the dates specified therein. Since December 31, 2000, there has
         been no change in any of the significant accounting policies,
         practices or procedures of Sellers.

         4.4.2 Since December 31, 2000, whether or not in the ordinary
         course of business, there has not been, occurred or arisen:

         (a) any change in or event affecting the Purchased Assets or the
         Business that has had or may reasonably be expected to have a
         material adverse effect on the Purchased Assets or the Business;

         (b) any casualty, loss, damage or destruction (whether or not
         covered by insurance) of any Purchased Asset that is material or
         has involved or may involve a Loss to the Seller Parties of more
         than $50,000;

         (c) any payments, dividends or other distribution of assets or
         securities, whether consisting of cash, equity, other personal
         property, real property or other thing of value declared, issued or
         paid to or for the benefit of Stockholders not in the ordinary
         course of business except (i) as reflected on or disclosed in the
         Financial Statements or (ii) a distribution of cash to the
         Stockholders in an amount equal to the Taxes owed by Stockholders
         on behalf of Sellers as of the Closing Date and as set forth on
         Section 4.4.2 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule.

         (d) any agreement, condition, action or omission which would be
         proscribed by (or require consent under) Section 6.2 had it
         existed, occurred or arisen after the Effective Date; or

         (e) any strike or other labor dispute.

         4.4.3 To the best knowledge of each of the Seller Parties, there
         are no liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether accrued,
         absolute, contingent, or otherwise, and whether due or to become
         due, probable of assertion or not, that relate to the Purchased
         Assets or the Business, which, individually or in the aggregate, do
         not have, or are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse
         effect on the Purchased Assets or the Business, except liabilities
         that (a) are reflected on or disclosed in the Financial Statements,
         (b) were incurred after December 31, 2000 in the ordinary course of
         business or (c) are set forth in Section 4.4.3 of the Sellers
         Disclosure Schedule. To the knowledge of each of the Seller
         Parties, the reserves reflected in the Financial Statements are
         adequate, appropriate and reasonable and have been calculated in a
         consistent manner.

4.5 RECEIVABLES. The accounts receivable reflected on the Financial
Statements, and all accounts receivable arising between December 31, 2000
and the Effective Date, have been estimated by Sellers in good faith
consistent with prudent industry practice and arose from transactions in
the ordinary course of business, and the goods or services involved have
been sold and delivered to the account obligor, or are in transit, and no
further goods or services are required to be provided in order to complete
the sales. The Sellers offer no guaranty as to the collectability of the
accounts receivable. As of the Effective Date, no such receivable will be
pledged or assigned to any other Person. No defense or set off to any such
receivable has been asserted in writing by the receivable obligor, or, to
the knowledge of each of the Seller Parties, exists.

4.6  ACCOUNTING RECORDS; INTERNAL CONTROLS.

         4.6.1 Each of the Sellers has records that accurately and validly
         reflect their respective transactions, and accounting controls
         sufficient to insure that such transactions are (a) executed in
         accordance with management's general or specific authorization and
         (b) recorded in conformity with GAAP so as to maintain
         accountability for assets.

         4.6.2 Such records, to the extent they contain important
         information that is not easily and readily available elsewhere,
         have been duplicated, and such duplicates are stored safely and
         securely pursuant to procedures and techniques utilized by
         companies of comparable size in similar lines of business.

4.7   TAX AND OTHER RETURNS AND REPORTS.

         4.7.1 The Seller Parties have timely filed or have caused to be
         filed or will file or will cause to be filed all Tax Returns
         required to be filed and have paid all Taxes required to be paid by
         the Seller Parties for all periods ending on or before the Closing
         Date. Adequate provision has been made in the books and records of
         each of the Sellers, and to the extent required by GAAP in the
         Financial Statements, for all Taxes whether or not due and payable
         and whether or not disputed. The Seller Parties have prepared all
         required Tax Returns, including amendments to date, in good faith
         without gross negligence or willful misrepresentation, and such Tax
         Returns are complete and accurate in all material respects. Section
         4.7.1 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule lists the date or dates
         through which the IRS and any other Governmental Entity have
         examined the United States federal income tax returns and any other
         Tax Returns of the Seller Parties. Except as set forth in Section
         4.7.1 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, no Governmental Entity
         has during the past three years, examined or is in the process of
         examining any Tax Returns of the Seller Parties or proposed
         (tentatively or definitively), asserted or assessed or, to the best
         knowledge of each of the Seller Parties, threatened to propose or
         assert, any deficiency, assessment or claim for Taxes and there
         would be no basis for any such delinquency assessment or claim.

         4.7.2 Each of the Sellers withheld and paid all Taxes required to
         have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or
         owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor,
         shareholder or other third party.

         4.7.3 None of the Seller Parties nor any director or officer (or
         employee responsible for Tax matters) of the Sellers reasonably
         expects any authority to assess any additional Taxes for any period
         for which Tax Returns have been filed. There is no dispute or claim
         concerning any Tax Liability of any of the Sellers either (a)
         claimed or raised by any authority in writing or (b) as to which
         any of the Seller Parties and the directors and officers (and
         employees responsible for Tax matters) of the Sellers has knowledge
         based upon personal contact with any agent of such authority.
         Section 4.7.3 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule lists all federal,
         state, local, and foreign income Tax Returns that have been audited
         and/or that currently are the subject of audit. Sellers have
         delivered to PEI or its designee correct and complete copies of all
         federal income Tax Returns, examination reports, and statements of
         deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by any of the Sellers
         since their date of incorporation.

         4.7.4 None of the Seller Parties has waived any statute of
         limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time
         with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

         4.7.5 To the knowledge of each of the Seller Parties, the unpaid
         Taxes of Sellers (a) did not, as of the Most Recent Fiscal Month
         End, exceed the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve
         for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences
         between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Most
         Recent Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (b) do
         not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through
         the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of
         Sellers in filing their Tax Returns.

         4.7.6 None of the Seller Parties is a party to any Tax allocation
         or sharing agreement. None of the Sellers (a) has been a member of
         an Affiliated Group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return
         (other than a group the common parent of which were one or the
         other of the Sellers) or (b) has any Liability for the Taxes of any
         Person (other than any of the Sellers) under Reg. ss.1.1502-6 (or
         any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law), as a
         transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.

4.8 MATERIAL CONTRACTS. Section 4.8 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule
lists each Material Contract. Each such Material Contract was entered into
in the ordinary course of business. True copies of the Material Contracts
appearing in Section 4.8 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, including all
amendments and supplements, have been delivered to PEI (other than any
Contract assigned to and assumed by the Seller Parties or their Affiliates
in connection with the original sale of Spice assets to Califa pursuant to
the Spice Asset Purchase Agreement if a copy of such Contract was not
provided at or before the closing of the Spice Asset Purchase Agreement).
Each Material Contract is valid, binding and in full force and effect and
is enforceable by Sellers in accordance with its terms. Each of the Seller
Parties has duly performed all of its obligations thereunder to the extent
that such obligations to perform have accrued; and no breach or default,
alleged breach or default, or event which would (with the passage of time,
notice or both) constitute a breach or default thereunder by any of the
Seller Parties, or, to the best knowledge of each of the Seller Parties,
any other party or obligor with respect thereto, has occurred. None of the
Seller Parties has received any notice of default or breach with respect to
any Material Contract.

4.9 INTANGIBLE PROPERTY. Section 4.9 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule
lists any and all Marks and other material items of Intangible Property in
which each of the Sellers has an interest and the nature of such interest.
Such assets include all Permits or other rights with respect to any of the
foregoing. Each Seller has complete rights to and ownership of all
Intangible Property required for use in connection with the Business,
except the Vivid Marks. None of the Sellers uses any Intangible Property by
consent of any other Person (other than consents evidenced by Permits
described on Section 4.3 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule and the consent
of VVI for the use of the Vivid Marks) and are not required to and do not
make any payments to others with respect thereto. The Intangible Property
of each of the Sellers is fully assignable free and clear of any
Encumbrances. None of the Sellers has received any notice to the effect (or
is otherwise aware) that the Intangible Property or any use by Sellers of
any such property conflicts with or allegedly conflicts with or infringes
the rights of any Person.

4.10 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. There is no Order or Action pending, or, to the
best knowledge of each of the Seller Parties, threatened, against or
affecting any of the Seller Parties, the Purchased Assets or the Business
that individually or when aggregated with one or more other Orders or
Actions has or might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Purchased Assets or the Business, on any of the Seller
Parties' ability to perform this Agreement or on any aspect of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 4.10 of the Sellers
Disclosure Schedule lists each Order and each Action that involves a claim
or potential claim of aggregate liability in excess of $50,000 against, or
that enjoins or seeks to enjoin any activity of any of the Seller Parties.
There is no matter as to which any of the Seller Parties has received any
notice, claim or assertion, or, to the best knowledge of each of the Seller
Parties, which otherwise has been threatened or is reasonably expected to
be threatened or initiated, against or affecting any director, officer,
employee, agent or representative of any of the Seller Parties or any other
Person, nor to the best knowledge of each of the Seller Parties is there
any reasonable basis therefor, in connection with which any such Person has
or may reasonably be expected to have any right to be indemnified by any of
the Seller Parties.

4.11 INSURANCE. Each of the Sellers is insured with reputable insurers
against all risks normally insured against by companies in similar lines of
business, and all of the insurance policies and bonds maintained by each of
the Sellers are in full force and effect. PEI acknowledges that Sellers do
not maintain an errors and omissions insurance policy. Section 4.11 of the
Sellers Disclosure Schedule lists all insurance policies and bonds that are
material to the Business. None of the Sellers is in default under any such
policy or bond. Each of the Sellers has timely filed claims with its
respective insurers with respect to all matters and occurrences for which
they believe they have coverage. Neither Seller has received notice or
other indication from any insurer or agent of any intent to cancel or not
to renew any of such insurance policies.

4.12  APPROVALS AND PERMITS.

         contemplated by this Agreement or any related agreement. To the

         otherwise prohibited from engaging under the terms of this Section
         7.1,

         (c) acquire more than a 5% financial interest in any Person engaged
         in the Playboy Business, unless such Seller Party (i) acquires less
         than a 50% financial interest in a Person engaged in the Playboy
         Business in connection with the receipt of an interest as
         consideration for a sale of another business in which such Seller
         Party holds an ownership interest or in connection with a strategic
         transaction (i.e., not in exchange for investment capital), (ii)
         such Seller Party does not exercise voting rights or other
         management authority, and (iii) all other terms restricting such
         Seller Party's ability to compete under this Section 7.1 continue
         in full force and effect with respect to such Person;

         (d) otherwise become involved in any material respect (whether as
         an investor, partner, joint venturer, stockholder (except as
         permitted by clause (c)), officer, director, employee, consultant,
         agent or otherwise), with any Person engaged in the Playboy
         Business,

         (e) interfere in any material respect with the business
         relationships or suppliers of PEI or its Affiliates as they relate
         to the Playboy Business,

         (f) enter into any Contract to acquire any licensing, distribution
         or transmission rights with respect to any Adult Programming for
         transmission in the Media in the Territory,

         (g) interfere in any material respect with the relationships of PEI
         with any of its employees, agents, representatives, consultants
         under contract, joint venturers or other partners,

         (h) solicit or encourage any employee of PEI to leave the
         employment of PEI, or otherwise hire, retain, employ or engage in
         any business with any employee of PEI,

         (i) hire any employee who has left the employment of PEI within one
         year after the termination of such employment, or

         (j) use, license or otherwise exploit the Vivid Marks alone, in
         combination with other words, or in any stylistic or other
         variations thereof in connection with any Playboy Business.

         7.1.2 Separate Covenants and Judicial Limitation. The
         Non-Competition Covenants will be construed as divided in separate
         and distinct covenants with respect to each Seller Party and with
         respect to each jurisdiction in the applicable territories. The
         parties hereby expressly agree that the duration, scope and
         geographic area of restriction set forth in the Non-Competition
         Covenants are reasonable. If at any time a court of competent
         jurisdiction holds that any portion of any Non-Competition Covenant
         is unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period
         of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its
         being too extensive in any other respect, such Non-Competition
         Covenant will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period
         of time, geographical area or in all other respects as to which it
         may be enforceable.

         7.1.3 Special Remedies and Enforcement. Each Seller Party
         recognizes and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by any
         Seller Party (or the Seller Parties acting collectively) of any of
         the Non-Competition Covenants could cause irreparable harm to PEI
         and its Affiliates, that PEI's remedies at law in the event of such
         breach or threatened breach would be inadequate, and that,
         accordingly, in the event of such breach or threatened breach a
         restraining order or injunction or both may be issued against the
         breaching Seller Party, in addition to any other rights and
         remedies which are available to PEI under law or in equity.

         7.1.4 Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
         each of the Seller Parties may be released from the Non-Competition
         Covenants as provided in Section 2.1.4.

         7.1.5 Acknowledgements. Each of the parties acknowledges that the
         covenants and restrictions above are necessary, fundamental and
         required for the protection of the Business and PEI, that such
         covenants and restrictions relate to matters that are of a special,
         unique and extraordinary value and that PEI would not enter into
         the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the
         protection provided by such covenants and restrictions.

         7.1.6 Convergent Technology. Notwithstanding anything to the
         contrary in this Section 7.1, no Seller Party will be in breach of
         the Non-Competition Covenants if such Seller Party distributes,
         broadcasts, transmits, displays, exhibits, exploits, or projects
         Adult Programming to a Convergent Technology developed during the
         Restricted Period.

7.2 NONDISCLOSURE. Neither the Stockholders nor any of their representatives
will, at any time, make use of, divulge or otherwise disclose, directly or
indirectly, any trade secret or other proprietary data (including, but not
limited to, any customer list, record or financial information) concerning
the Purchased Assets or the Business that Stockholders or any representative
of Stockholders may have learned as a shareholder, employee, officer or
director of Sellers. In addition, neither Stockholders nor any of their
representatives will make use of, divulge or otherwise disclose, directly or
indirectly, to persons other than PEI, any confidential information
concerning the Purchased Assets or the Business which may have been learned
in any such capacity.

7.3 *****

7.4 EMPLOYEE RELATED OBLIGATIONS. Effective as of the Closing Date, PEI will
(or will cause an Affiliate to) offer full-time employment (as defined by
PEI) to those Califa employees listed in Schedule 7.4 at the same salary
Califa paid to such employee as of the Closing Date (and identified on such
Schedule) and all standard benefits as provided by PEI to each PEI employee
in an equivalent employment position. PEGI's employment policies and
procedures will apply to such employees and PEGI will have no obligation or
liability under any of Califa's employment policies and procedures,
including salary increases, bonuses / commissions (except as expressly
provided in this Agreement), vacation, holiday and health coverage. All
obligations for termination notice, compensation, bonuses, severance pay,
vacation time, pay in lieu of vacation and similar employee benefits will be
paid or otherwise satisfied by Sellers as of the Closing Date with respect
to such employees. *****

7.5 BULK SALES LAWS. Each of the Seller Parties and PEI waive compliance
with applicable laws under any version of Article 6 of the Uniform
Commercial Code adopted by any state or any similar law relating to the
sale of inventory, equipment or other assets in bulk in connection with the
sale of the Purchased Property.

7.6 COLLECTIVE ACTION. The Seller Parties will act collectively in
exercising the remedies available to them pursuant to this Agreement. In
furtherance of, and without limiting, the foregoing, the Seller Parties will
deliver a single objection notice, if any, pursuant to Section 2.4, a single
claim for indemnification, if any, and a single response to a request for
indemnification by PEI, if any. Pursuant to an agreement among the Seller
Parties of even date herewith, Asher has been designated as the Seller
Parties' representative and authorized to act on behalf of the Seller
Parties in all respects under the Agreement.

7.7 PROGRAM SUPPLY AGREEMENTS. If the rights and obligations under any
Program Supply Agreement apply to PEI only (as set forth in Schedule 7.7),
then such Program Supply Agreement will be assigned to PEI in its entirety.
If the rights and obligations under any such Program Supply Agreement apply
to both PEI and any of the Seller Parties (as set forth in Schedule 7.7),
then such Program Supply Agreement will be assigned in part to PEI and
retained in part by such Seller Party. The parties agree and acknowledge
that with respect to each Program Supply Agreement assigned in part to PEI
and retained in part by any Seller Party, the general terms and conditions
of such Program Supply Agreement will apply to both parties. The parties
will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain acknowledgements from the
applicable licensors. Neither party will amend or modify any such Program
Supply Agreement if such amendment or modification changes a right or
obligation of the other party. The parties agree that they will each have
equal access to the storage location of the masters and related materials
delivered under those Program Supply Agreements assigned in part to PEI and
retained in part by any Seller Party and that the parties will apportion the
license fees in such Program Supply Agreements as set forth in Schedule 7.7.

8.1 GENERAL CONDITIONS. The obligations of the parties to effect the Closing

parties:

         8.1.1 No Orders; Legal Proceedings. No Law or Order will have been
         enacted, entered, issued, promulgated or enforced by any
         Governmental Entity, nor will any Action have been instituted and
         remain pending or, to the best knowledge of each of the Seller
         Parties, have been threatened and remain so by any Governmental
         Entity at what would otherwise be the Closing Date, which prohibits
         or restricts or would (if successful) prohibit or restrict the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any related
         agreements or, with respect to obligations of PEI only, which would
         not permit the Business as presently conducted to continue
         unimpaired following the Closing Date. No Governmental Entity will
         have notified any party to this Agreement that consummation of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any related
         agreements would constitute a violation of any Laws of any
         jurisdiction and/or that it intends to commence proceedings to
         restrain or prohibit such transactions or force divestiture or
         rescission, unless such Governmental Entity will have withdrawn
         such notice and abandoned any such proceedings prior to the time
         which otherwise would have been the Closing Date.

         8.1.2 Approvals. To the extent required by applicable Law, all
         Permits and Approvals required to be obtained from any Governmental

         agreement between PEGI, as successor in interest to SEI, and

         terminate without further action by the parties.

8.2 CONDITIONS TO OBLIGATIONS OF PEI. The obligations of PEI to effect the
Closing will be subject to the following conditions except to the extent
waived in writing by PEI:

         8.2.1 Representations and Warranties and Covenants of the Seller

         Each of the Seller Parties will have in all material respects
         performed all obligations and complied with all covenants and
         conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied
         with by it at or prior to the Closing Date, and Sellers will have
         delivered to PEI certificates of each of the Sellers in form and
         substance satisfactory to PEI, dated the Closing Date and signed by
         its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to such
         effect. For the purposes of this section, the words "material
         adverse effect", "material" and other similar qualifying words or
         phrases will be deemed to be excluded from the representations and
         warranties of the Seller Parties.

         8.2.2 Consents. The Seller Parties will have obtained and delivered
         to PEI all required Approvals and Permits listed in Section 4.3 of
         the Sellers Disclosure Schedule in form and substance satisfactory
         to PEI, except as provided for in Section 2.6.

8.3 CONDITIONS TO OBLIGATIONS OF SELLERS. The obligations of the Seller
Parties to effect the Closing will be subject to the following conditions,
except to the extent waived in writing by the Seller Parties:

         8.3.1 Representations and Warranties and Covenants of PEI. The
         representations and warranties of PEI herein contained will be true
         in all material respects at the Closing Date with the same effect
         as though made at such time. PEI will have in all material respects
         performed all obligations and complied with all covenants and
         conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied
         with by it at or prior to the Closing Date, and PEI will have
         delivered to Sellers certificates of PEI in form and substance
         satisfactory to Sellers, dated the Closing Date and signed by its
         chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to such

         adverse effect", "material" and other similar qualifying words or
         phrases will be deemed to be excluded from the representations and
         warranties of PEI.

         8.3.2 Deliveries. PEI will have delivered to Sellers all items
         required by Section 3.3.


                                 ARTICLE 9
                    TERMINATION OF OBLIGATIONS; SURVIVAL

9.1 TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will terminate by mutual consent in writing of PEI and the Seller
Parties at any time before the Closing or as follows (and in no other
manner):

         9.1.1 By either PEI or the Seller Parties, by written notice to the
         other part(ies), on or after the 30th calendar day following the
         Effective Date; provided, however, that the party providing such
         written notice is not then in breach of any of its representations,
         warranties or obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this
         Section 9.1.1 excuses a party from its affirmative obligation to
         use its best efforts to satisfy all of the conditions set forth in
         Sections 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 and promptly close the transactions
         contemplated in this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.1 if the other
         party has performed all of its obligations hereunder in all
         material respects;

         9.1.2 By either PEI or the Seller Parties if there has been a
         material misrepresentation or material breach on the part of the
         other party in its representations, warranties or covenants set
         forth herein; provided, however, that if such breach or
         misrepresentation is susceptible to cure, the Seller Parties or
         PEI, as the case may be, will have 10 Business Days after receipt
         of notice from the other party of its intention to terminate this
         Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1 in which to cure such breach
         or misrepresentation (if such misrepresentation or breach
         continues) before the other party may so terminate this Agreement.

         9.1.3 By either PEI or the Seller Parties upon written notice to
         the other part(ies) if any event occurs which would render
         impossible the satisfaction of one or more conditions to the
         obligation of the parties to consummate the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.1;

         9.1.4 By the Seller Parties upon written notice to PEI if any event
         occurs which would render impossible the satisfaction of one or
         more conditions to the obligation of the Seller Parties to
         consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as set
         forth in Section 8.3; or

         9.1.5 By PEI upon written notice to the Seller Parties if any event
         occurs which would render impossible the satisfaction of one or
         more conditions to the obligations of PEI to consummate the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement as set forth in Section
         8.2.

9.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 9.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement
will terminate without further liability of any party to another; provided
that the obligations of the parties contained in Section 12.12 and 12.16
will survive any such termination. A termination under Section 9.1 will not
relieve any party of any liability for a breach of, or for any
misrepresentation under this Agreement, or be deemed to constitute a waiver
of any available remedy (including specific performance if available) for
any such breach or misrepresentation.

9.3 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and
warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement will survive the
Closing until 18 months after the Closing Date, except that:

         9.3.1 the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1,
         4.2, 4.3, 4.18, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.5 will survive the Closing and
         will remain in full force and effect indefinitely,

         9.3.2 the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.7
         will continue through the expiration of the applicable statute of
         limitations as the same may be extended (or, if a claim has been
         asserted prior to such expiration, until 6 months after the date of
         its final resolution), and

         9.3.3 if any claim or notice is given under Article 10 with respect
         to any representation or warranty prior to the applicable
         expiration date, such representation or warranty will continue
         indefinitely until such claim is finally resolved; provided that
         any such claim or notice has a reasonable basis and its scope can
         be reasonably estimated.


                                 ARTICLE 10
                               INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 OBLIGATIONS OF SELLERS. Each of the Seller Parties jointly and
severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PEI and its directors,
officers, stockholders, employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns from and
against any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly, as a result of,
or based upon or arising from:

         10.1.1 any inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the
         representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the
         Seller Parties in or pursuant to this Agreement whether or nor not
         of material nature (provided however that, except for Section 4.19,
         for the purposes of this Article 10, the words "material adverse
         effect", "material", "to [its] knowledge" or "to [its] best
         knowledge" and other similar qualifying words or phrases will be
         deemed to be excluded from the representations and warranties of
         the Seller Parties); or

         10.1.2 any Excluded Liabilities.

10.2 OBLIGATIONS OF PEI. PEI agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Seller Parties and their directors, officers, shareholders, employees,
Affiliates, agents and assigns from and against any Losses incurred,
directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from:

         10.2.1 any inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the
         representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by PEI in
         or pursuant to this Agreement whether or nor not of material nature
         (provided however that, except for Section 5.7, for the purposes of
         this Article 10, the words "material adverse effect", "material"
         and other similar qualifying words or phrases will be deemed to be
         excluded from the representations and warranties of PEI); or

         10.2.2 any third party claims regarding the conduct of the Business
         after the Closing to the extent such claim is not subject to
         indemnification by the Seller Parties pursuant to Section 10.1.

10.3  CERTAIN TAX MATTERS.

         10.3.1 Sellers Indemnity. Each of the Seller Parties jointly and
         severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PEI and its
         directors, officers, stockholders, employees, Affiliates, agents
         and assigns against any and all Losses incurred directly or
         indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from:

         (a) any Tax payable by or on behalf of the Seller Parties for any
         taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the
         Closing Date,

         (b) any deficiencies in any Tax payable by or on behalf of the
         Seller Parties arising from any audit by any taxing agency or
         authority with respect to any period (or portion thereof) ending on
         or prior to the Closing Date,

         (c) any claim or demand for reimbursement or indemnification
         resulting from any transfer by the Seller Parties prior to the
         Closing of any Tax benefits or credits to any other Person,

         (d) any Tax liabilities arising out of the transfer of the
         Purchased Assets, except as expressly provided for herein, and

         (e) with respect to any Taxes payable by PEI with respect to the
         operation of the Business (other than PEI's income or franchise
         taxes) due for periods beginning before and ending after the
         Closing Date (whether or not assessed prior to the Closing Date), a
         pro-rata share of such Taxes, calculated as if the period ended on
         the Closing Date. For purposes of calculating Sellers' pro-rata
         share of Taxes described in this Section 10.3.1(e), the Closing
         Date will be treated as the last day of a taxable period, and the
         portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the taxable period
         that is so deemed to end on the Closing Date will be:

              (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or
              related to income or receipts, (B) imposed in connection with
              any sales or other transfer or assignment of property (real or
              personal, tangible or intangible) other than transfers
              pursuant to this Agreement or (C) imposed on a periodic basis
              and measured by the level of any item which is required to be
              determined as of the Closing Date or which is reasonably
              determinable as of the Closing Date and such determination is
              made by a party in a manner reasonably acceptable to both
              parties, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if
              the period for which such Tax is assessed ended with the
              Closing Date; and

              (ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis and
              measured by the level of any item, other than Taxes described
              in clause (i) above, will be deemed to be the amount of such
              Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such taxes
              determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for
              the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the
              numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the
              period ending with the Closing Date and the denominator of
              which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

         10.3.2 PEI Indemnity. PEI agrees to indemnify the Seller Parties
         and their directors, officers, shareholders, employees, Affiliates,
         agents and assigns against any Taxes due with respect to the
         Purchased Assets or the Business for tax periods beginning after
         the Closing Date.

10.4   PROCEDURE.

         10.4.1 Any party seeking indemnification under this Article 10 (the
         "Indemnified Party") will promptly notify the party required to
         provide indemnity hereunder (the "Indemnifying Party") in
         accordance with Section 12.15. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         failure to give or delay in giving notice will not release the
         Indemnifying Party from liability except to the extent that the
         Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

         10.4.2 If the Indemnifiable Loss arises from any claim, demand or
         liability is asserted by any third party against the Indemnified
         Party (a "Third-Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party will, upon
         notice of the claim or demand, promptly notify the Indemnifying
         Party, and the Indemnifying Party will defend and/or settle any
         actions or proceedings brought against the Indemnified Party in
         respect of matters embraced by the indemnity with counsel
         reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the
         Indemnifying Party does not promptly defend or settle any such
         claims, the Indemnified Party will have the right to control any
         defense or settlement, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. No
         claim will be settled or compromised without the prior written
         consent of each party to be affected by such settlement or
         compromise, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The
         Indemnified Party will at all times also have the right to
         participate fully in the defense at its own expense; provided
         Indemnifying Party will pay legal fees of one counsel for
         Indemnified Party if (a) under applicable standards of conduct, a
         conflict on any significant issue exists between any two or more
         Indemnified Parties, or (b) the Third Party Claim is made both
         against an Indemnifying Party and an Indemnified Party and the
         Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that there are legal
         defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are materially
         different from those available to the Indemnifying Party. The
         parties will cooperate in the defense of all Third-Party Claims
         that may give rise to Indemnifiable Claims hereunder. In connection
         with the defense of any claim, each party will make available to
         the party controlling such defense, any books, records or other
         documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for
         such defense.

         10.4.3 If the Indemnified Party has a claim against the
         Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim (an
         "Inter-Party Claim", and together with a Third-Party Claim, an
         "Indemnifiable Claim"), the Indemnified Party will notify the
         Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness of the claim,
         specifying the nature, estimated amount and the specific basis for
         the claim. The Indemnifying Party will respond within 45 days of
         receipt of the notice of an Inter-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying
         Party fails to respond, the estimated amount of the claim specified
         by the Indemnified Party will be conclusively deemed a liability of
         the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party timely disputes
         the claim, the Indemnified and the Indemnifying Party will
         negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute, and if not
         resolved, will be submitted for resolution pursuant to Article 11.

10.5 TAX ADJUSTMENTS. Any amounts payable by the Indemnifying Party to or on
behalf of an Indemnified Party in respect of a Loss will be adjusted by the
net effect of Sections 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 as follows:

         10.5.1 Tax Reimbursement Amount. If such Indemnified Party is
         liable for any additional Taxes as a result of the payment of
         amounts in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnifying
         Party will pay to the Indemnified Party in addition to such amounts
         in respect of the Loss within 10 days after being notified by the
         Indemnified Party of the payment of such liability (a) an amount
         equal to such additional Taxes (the "Tax Reimbursement Amount")
         plus (b) any additional amounts required to pay additional Taxes
         imposed with respect to the Tax Reimbursement Amount and with
         respect to amounts payable under this clause (b), with the result
         that the Indemnified Party will have received from the Indemnifying
         Party, net of the payment of Taxes, an amount equal to the Loss.

         10.5.2 Net Tax Benefit. The Indemnified Party will reimburse the
         Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the net reduction in any year
         in the liability for Taxes (that are based upon or measured by
         income) of the Indemnified Party or any member of a consolidated or
         combined tax group of which the Indemnified Party is, or was at any
         time, part, which reduction is actually realized with respect to
         any period after the Closing Date and which reduction would not
         have been realized but for the amounts paid (or any audit
         adjustment or deficiency with respect thereto, if applicable) in
         respect of a Loss, or amounts paid by the Indemnified Party
         pursuant to this paragraph (a "Net Tax Benefit"). The amount of any
         Net Tax Benefit will be paid not later than 15 days after the date
         on which such Net Tax Benefit will be realized. For purposes of
         this Section 10.5.2, the Net Tax Benefit will be deemed to be
         actually realized on the date on which such Net Tax Benefit is used
         to compute an obligation to pay installments of estimated tax or,
         if earlier, reported earnings; provided, however, that if the
         amount of any Net Tax Benefit is subsequently affected by reason of
         any event or events, including, without limitation, any payment of
         Taxes by such Indemnified Party with respect to the loss of such
         Net Tax Benefit upon audit or litigation, appropriate adjustments
         and payments to take into account the increase or decrease in such
         Net Tax Benefit will be made between the Indemnified Party and the
         Indemnifying Party within 15 days after such event or events. Any
         expenses associated with the realization of a Net Tax Benefit or
         any contest or proceeding with respect to a Net Tax Benefit will be
         deemed to reduce such Net Tax Benefit.

10.6  LIMITATION ON INDEMNITY.

         10.6.1 None of the Seller Parties will be obligated to indemnify
         PEI or its directors, officers, stockholders, employees,
         Affiliates, agents or assigns pursuant to this Agreement unless and
         until the aggregate amount of the Indemnifiable Claims thereunder
         exceeds $250,000 (except for an amount equal to any payment,
         dividend or other distribution to any Seller Party in violation of
         Sections 4.4.2(c), 6.2(l) or 6.2(s)), it being understood that
         after such amount exceeds $250,000, each of the Seller Parties will
         be jointly and severally liable only for all amounts in excess of
         $250,000 of Indemnifiable Claims (subject to the following
         sentence). The maximum amount for which each of the Seller Parties
         will be jointly and severally liable to PEI or its directors,
         officers, stockholders, employees, agents or assigns for any
         Inter-Party Claims will be $25 million, unless a Seller Party
         violated a Law prior to the Closing directly resulting in the Loss
         arising from such Inter-Party Claim(s), in which case there will be
         no maximum indemnification amount. The maximum amount for which
         each of the Seller Parties will be jointly and severally liable to
         PEI or its directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents or
         assigns for any Third Party Claims will be the Purchase Price,
         unless a Seller Party violated a Law prior to the Closing directly
         resulting in the Loss arising from such Third-Party Claims(s), in
         which case there will be no maximum indemnification amount.

         10.6.2 PEI will not be obligated to indemnify the Seller Parties or
         any of their directors, officers, shareholders, employees,
         Affiliates, agents or assigns pursuant to this Agreement unless and
         until the aggregate amount of the Indemnifiable Claims thereunder
         exceeds $250,000 (except for trade payables assumed by PEI pursuant
         to Section 1.2.2(b)), it being understood that after such amount
         exceeds $250,000, PEI will be liable only for all amounts in excess
         of $250,000 of Indemnifiable Claims (subject to the following
         sentence). The maximum amount for which PEI will be liable to the
         Seller Parties or their directors, officers, stockholders,
         employees, agents or assigns for any Inter-Party Claims will be $25
         million, unless PEI violated a Law prior to the Closing directly
         resulting in the Loss arising from such Inter-Party Claim(s), in
         which case there will be no maximum indemnification amount. The
         maximum amount for which PEI will be liable to PEI or its
         directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents or assigns for
         any Third Party Claims will be the Purchase Price, unless PEI
         violated a Law prior to the Closing directly resulting in the Loss
         arising from such Third-Party Claims(s), in which case there will
         be no maximum indemnification amount.

         10.6.3 The parties' recovery will be net of any insurance recovery
         to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
         this Article 10 will obligate the parties to maintain insurance or
         pursue a claim thereunder.

         10.6.4 Except with respect to Losses arising from any party's
         intentional, willful or reckless misrepresentations or breaches of
         agreements made as part of this Agreement, no party will be liable
         for any consequential, incidental or special damages.

10.7 OFFSET. If at the time any payment is due from PEI to Sellers the
Seller Parties have either acknowledged in writing responsibility for or a
binding third party determination of responsibility (e.g. pursuant to
Article 11) has been reached for any Indemnifiable Losses claimed by PEI
under this Agreement, PEI will have the right, in addition to other rights
and remedies (whether under this Agreement or applicable Law), to withhold
from such payment an amount equal to the amount of such Indemnifiable
Losses.

10.8 NOTICE. Each party agrees to notify the other part(ies) of any
liabilities, claims or misrepresentations, breaches or other matters that
are covered by or could be reasonably covered by this Article 10 reasonably
promptly following discovery or receipt of notice thereof, whether before
or after Closing and whether or not a demand or claim for indemnification
has arisen.

10.9 SURVIVAL. Subject to the applicable limitations otherwise set forth in
this Agreement, this Article 10 will survive any termination of this
Agreement. This indemnification further will survive the Closing and will
remain in effect indefinitely. Any matter as to which a claim has been
asserted by notice to the other party that is pending or unresolved at the
end of any applicable limitation period will continue to be covered by this
Article 10 notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations (which the
parties hereby waive) until such matter is finally terminated or otherwise
resolved by the parties under this Agreement or by a court of competent
jurisdiction and any amounts payable hereunder are finally determined and
paid.


                                 ARTICLE 11
                             DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Following the Closing, any dispute
arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved in accordance
with the procedures specified in this Article 11, which will be the sole
and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such disputes, except
this Article 11 will not apply to the following disputes, which will be
litigated in a court of law:

         11.1.1 any dispute concerning the validity, ownership or control of
         the Vivid Marks;

         11.1.2 any dispute concerning the copyrights to any programming
         supplied by Vivid pursuant to the Output Agreement;

         11.1.3 any claim asserted by one party against the other party
         arising out of the subject matter of any court litigation or
         proceeding commenced by any third party against one party in which
         the other party is an indispensable party or third party defendant;
         or

         11.1.4 any claim asserted by a third party, which is not bound and
         will not, upon request of either party, agree to arbitrate subject
         to the arbitration rules provided by this Article 11, against one
         party in which the other party is an indispensable or necessary
         party.

11.2 NOTIFICATION AND NEGOTIATION. If either party wishes to assert a
dispute with the other party arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any related agreements, such party will promptly notify the other party
in writing of such dispute and will attempt in good faith to resolve any
dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related
agreements promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to
settle the controversy. All reasonable requests for information made by one
party to the other will be honored.

11.3 ARBITRATION. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 11.1
and 11.10 of this Agreement or any related agreements, any controversy,
dispute or claim under, arising out of, in connection with or in relation
to this Agreement or any related agreements, including the negotiation,
execution, interpretation, construction, coverage, scope, performance,
non-performance, breach, termination, validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any related agreements will be settled, at the request of
either party, by arbitration conducted in accordance with this Article 11
and the then existing rules for commercial arbitration of the American
Arbitration Association before a panel of three arbitrators, one of whom
will be selected by PEI, the second of whom will be selected by the Seller
Parties and the third of whom will be selected by the other two arbitrators
and will chair the tribunal. The third arbitrator will be a disinterested
person of recognized competence in the matter at issue and who is
independent of each of the parties. If one party fails or refuses to select
an arbitrator within 15 days after notice of the selection of the first
arbitrator, or the two arbitrators selected fail to select the third
arbitrator within 15 days after their selection, the necessary arbitrator
or arbitrators will be selected by the presiding judge of a court of
general jurisdiction in the place designated in Section 11.9. Decisions of
the tribunal will be made by not less than a majority of the arbitrators.
The arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C.
ss.ss. 1-16). The arbitration of such issues, including the determination
of any amount of damages suffered by any party hereto by reason of the acts
or omissions of either party, will be final and binding upon the parties to
the maximum extent permitted by Law.

11.4 RULES OF ARBITRATION. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance
with rules of procedure adopted by the arbitrators to allow each of the
parties to present evidence and argument to the arbitrators.

         11.4.1 Statute of Limitations. The statute of limitations of the
         State of California applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit
         will apply to the commencement of an arbitration hereunder, except
         that no defenses will be available based upon the passage of time
         during any negotiation called for by the preceding paragraphs of
         this Article 11.

         11.4.2 Discovery; Rules of Evidence. Upon request of either party,
         the arbitrators will order such discovery (including third-party
         discovery) as the arbitrators determine to be reasonable under the
         circumstances. The arbitrators will, however, impose reasonable
         schedules and deadlines to ensure that discovery is conducted and
         concluded on a timely basis and may impose sanctions on either
         party for abuse or delay of discovery. Rules of civil procedure and
         evidence may be applied, in the discretion of the arbitrators.

         11.4.3 Expedited Procedure. Either party to the arbitration may
         elect, by notice to the other party, to have the arbitration
         conducted on an expedited basis. Thereafter, the arbitrators will
         be empowered to expedite the proceedings by all reasonable means
         consistent with a fair hearing of the dispute. Such means may
         include the imposing of accelerated discovery and hearing
         schedules, requiring submissions within abbreviated time periods
         and imposing limits on number of witnesses and the length of
         hearings.

         11.4.4 Decisions; Judgment. The arbitrators will in all cases as
         promptly as possible determine such matter. A determination and
         damage award (if any) of the majority of the arbitrators will be
         conclusive and binding upon the parties to the maximum extent
         permitted by law. The arbitrators will give written notice to the
         parties stating the determination and award (if any) and will
         furnish to each party a copy of such notice signed by the
         arbitrators. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators
         may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

11.5 DAMAGES. Except as expressly provided below, the arbitrators are not
empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages (e.g.,
consequential, incidental or special damages) and the Seller Parties and
PEI each irrevocably waive any right to recover such damages with respect
to any dispute resolved by arbitration. The arbitrators will have the
authority to include, as an item of damages, the costs of arbitration,
including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by the prevailing
party and to apportion such costs among the parties on a claim-by-claim
basis as such party prevails thereon. For purposes of the foregoing, the
"prevailing party" will mean the party whose final settlement offer (or
other position or monetary claim) prior to the start of arbitration is
closest to the judgment awarded by the arbitrators, regardless of whether
such judgment is entered into in favor of or against such party.

11.6 FEES AND EXPENSES. Except as provided for in Section 11.5, each party
will bear its own expenses, including attorneys' fees, in connection with
arbitration proceedings under this Article 11 and will compensate the
arbitrator selected by such party. The parties will share equally the
expenses of the proceedings and the compensation of the third arbitrator.
Neither party in any such proceeding or any appeal thereon or challenge
thereto will be entitled to attorneys' fees or court, arbitration and other
costs or expenses incurred, unless otherwise decreed by the court or
arbitrators in the same or a separate suit.

11.7 CONFIDENTIAL NEGOTIATIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. All negotiations and
proceedings pursuant to this Article 11 are confidential and will be treated
as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules
of evidence.

11.8 SERVICE OF PROCESS. The Seller Parties and PEI each agree that service
by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, delivered to
such party at the address provided in Section 12.15 will be deemed in every
respect effective service of process upon such party for all purposes of
these provisions relating to arbitration. The Seller Parties and PEI each
irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
California and to any federal court located within such state for the
purpose of any action or judgment with respect to this Agreement,
regardless of where any alleged breach or other action, omission, fact or
occurrence giving rise thereto occurred. The Seller Parties and PEI each
hereby irrevocably waive any claim that any action or proceeding brought in
California has been brought in any inconvenient forum.

11.9 CHOICE OF LAW; PLACE OF ARBITRATION. Proceedings under and the
provisions of this Article 11 will be subject to Section 12.5 of this
Agreement. Any arbitration proceedings hereunder will be held in Los Angeles
County.

11.10 AVAILABILITY OF EQUITABLE RELIEF. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Article 11, the Seller Parties and PEI each acknowledge
that a material breach of this Agreement or any related agreements by a
party thereto may result in irreparable harm to the Seller Parties or PEI
for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, if any of the
parties reasonably believes in good faith that another party or a party to
any related agreements (a) has materially breached this Agreement or any
related agreements and (b) said breach will create irreparable harm to such
Person for which there is not adequate remedy at law, the allegedly harmed
party will be entitled to seek preliminary or temporary equitable relief in
any Federal or State Court of competent jurisdiction located in the State
of California.

11.11 SURVIVAL. The Seller Parties and PEI each intend that these
provisions will be valid, binding, enforceable and irrevocable and will
survive any termination of this Agreement or any related agreements.


                                 ARTICLE 12
                                   GENERAL

12.1 CASH PAYMENTS. All cash payments owing pursuant to this Agreement will
be made net of any withholding required by applicable Law, unless Sellers
provide PEI a valid FIRPTA certificate. All cash payments due Sellers
pursuant to this Agreement will be made in lawful money of the United
States of America by checks payable to each of the Sellers.

12.2  WAIVERS, REMEDIES CUMULATIVE, AMENDMENTS, ETC.

         12.2.1 No failure or delay by any of the parties hereto in
         exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will
         operate as a waiver thereof nor will any single or partial exercise
         by any of the parties hereto of any right, power or privilege
         preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
         right, power or privilege.

         12.2.2 The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and
         not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

         12.2.3 No provision of this Agreement or any schedule or exhibit
         attached hereto may be amended, modified, waived, discharged or
         terminated, other than by the express written agreement of the
         parties hereto nor may any breach of any provision of this
         Agreement be waived or discharged except with the express written
         consent of the party not in breach.

12.3 SCHEDULES; EXHIBITS; INTEGRATION. Each schedule and exhibit delivered
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be in writing and will
constitute a part of this Agreement, although schedules need not be
attached to each copy of this Agreement. This Agreement, together with such
schedules and exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties
pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings of the parties in connection therewith, including, but
not limited to, the term sheet dated February 27, 2001.

12.4 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause all conditions to its obligations to be timely satisfied
and to perform and fulfill all obligations on its part to be performed and
fulfilled under this Agreement, to the end that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will be effected substantially in accordance
with its terms as soon as reasonably practicable. The parties will
cooperate with each other in such actions and in securing requisite
Approvals. Each party will execute and deliver both before and after the
Closing such further certificates, agreements and other documents and take
such other actions as the other party may reasonably request to consummate
or implement the transactions contemplated hereby or to evidence such
events or matters.

12.5 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement has been negotiated and entered into in
the State of California and all questions with respect to this Agreement
and the relationships of the parties hereunder will be governed by the
internal laws of the State of California, regardless of the choice of law
principles of California or any other jurisdiction.

12.6 REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL; INTERPRETATION. Each of the Seller Parties
and PEI acknowledge that each party to this Agreement is sophisticated and
has been represented by counsel, who have carefully negotiated the
provisions hereof, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of Law, including
Section 1654 of the California Civil Code, or any legal decision that would
require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against
the party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived. The
provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted in a reasonable manner to
effect the intent of the Seller Parties and PEI.

12.7 NO ASSIGNMENT; THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. The provisions of this
Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors of
each party hereto; provided, that no party may agree to assign, transfer,
pledge, hypothecate, charge or otherwise dispose of or subcontract any of
its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the other party, except that PEI may so assign, etc. this Agreement to (a)
an Affiliate if PEI remains responsible and liable for such transferee's
compliance with all of PEI's obligations hereunder or (b) a third-party in
connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all
of PEI's assets. Except as expressly provided in Article 10, nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person
other than the parties hereto or their respective permitted successors and
assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by
reason of this Agreement.

12.8 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any Governmental Entity, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Law will remain in
full force and effect provided that the economic and legal substance of the
transactions contemplated is not affected in any manner materially adverse
to any party.

12.9 HEADINGS. The section headings in this Agreement are inserted only as
a matter of convenience, and in no way define, limit, or extend or
interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular section.

12.10 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and any amendment hereto or any other
agreement (or document) delivered pursuant hereto may be executed in one or
more counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts. All of
such counterparts will constitute one and the same agreement (or other
document) and will become effective (unless otherwise provided therein)
when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered
to the other party.

12.11 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. All media releases, public announcements and
public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will be developed and drafted by PEI and coordinated between and
approved by the other parties before release (it being understood that
while the parties will consult in good faith, they will not have approval
rights over any announcement of the other party intended solely for
internal distribution or any disclosure of the other party required by
legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements, or any listing agreement
with The New York Stock Exchange). Such approval will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed by any party. The parties will develop
mutually acceptable guidelines for seeking confidential treatment of terms
of this Agreement deemed highly sensitive by any party. The parties will
develop a mutually acceptable press release concerning the subject matter
of this Agreement to be released promptly following Closing. This Section
12.11 will survive the completion, expiration, termination or cancellation
of this Agreement.

12.12    CONFIDENTIALITY.

         12.12.1 All information disclosed by any party (or its
         representatives) whether before or after the Effective Date, in
         connection with the transactions contemplated by, or the
         discussions and negotiations preceding, this Agreement to any other
         party (or its representatives) will be kept confidential by such
         other party and its representatives and will not be used by any
         such Persons other than as contemplated by this Agreement, except
         to the extent that such information (a) was known by the recipient
         when received, (b) is or hereafter becomes lawfully obtainable from
         other sources, which have an independent right to such information,
         (c) is generally available to the public or becomes generally
