of the Collateral; and then as set forth in Section 4.2. Lender shall account to
Borrower for any surplus. If any deficiency shall arise, Borrower shall remain

PROMISSORY NOTE
$3,200,000 San Jose, California
September 25, 2003
("Effective Date")
On March 31, 2004, BAM! ENTERTAINMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Borrower"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of
PHILLIPS LAND LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the "Lender"), in
lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds,
the principal sum of THREE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,200,000) or
such lesser unpaid principal amount as may be outstanding hereunder or may be
advanced by Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement
dated of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender, as the same may
be further amended from time to time (the "Agreement").
The principal amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest
commencing on the date of the first advance hereunder at the following rate (the
"Interest Rate"): (i) the Prime Rate plus one half of one percentage point
(.50%). "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate of interest per annum established from
time to time by the SunTrust Bank at its office in Richmond, Virginia ("Bank"),
whether or not Bank shall at times lend to borrowers at lower rates of interest
or, if there is no such prime rate, then its base rate or such other rate as may
be substituted by Bank for the prime rate; provided that in no event shall the
Prime Rate exceed the highest rate permitted by law.
Interest will be payable in immediately available funds to the address
of the Lender set forth in the Agreement. Interest accruing under this Note
shall accrue and shall be due and payable in arrears (together with principal)
on the Termination Date (or on such earlier date as this Note is due as
described below or in the Agreement). Interest due and unpaid will accrue and
compound annually. Interest will be calculated based on a 360 day year and
charged for the actual number of days elapsed.
After maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, this Note will
bear interest, at the election of Lender and upon notice to Borrower (computed
and adjusted in the same manner, and with the same effect, as interest hereon
prior to maturity), payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default
Rate, until paid, and whether before or after the entry of judgment hereon.
The principal amount of each loan made by Lender under this Note and
the amount of each payment made by Borrower under this Note will be recorded by
Lender in the regularly maintained data processing records of Lender. The
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans set forth in such records will be
presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on this Note.
However, failure by Lender to make any such entry will not limit or otherwise
affect Borrower's obligations under this Note or the Agreement with the
exception of the erroneous or missing entry.
All payments received by Lender under this Note will be applied first
to payment of (i) accrued interest on this Note, (ii) any other fees or charges
due to the Lender under the Agreement and related documents, and (iii) then to
principal.
This Note is the Promissory Note referred to in the Agreement, and is
entitled to the benefits, and is subject to the terms, of the Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings
attributed thereto in the Agreement. The principal of this Note is prepayable in
the amounts and under the circumstances, and its maturity is subject to
acceleration upon the terms, set forth in the Agreement. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Agreement, if any payment on this Note becomes due and
payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be
extended to the next Business Day, and interest will be payable at the rate
specified herein during such extension period.
After the occurrence of an Event of Default, all amounts of principal
outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default will bear
interest at the Default Rate, in Lender's sole discretion, upon notice to
ii
<PAGE>
Borrower. This provision does not constitute a waiver of any Events of Default
or an agreement by Lender to permit any late payments whatsoever.
In no event will the interest rate on this Note exceed the highest rate
permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction will, in a
final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that a court
determines that Lender has received interest and other charges under this Note
in excess of the highest permissible rate applicable hereto, such excess will be
deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to reduce the
amounts due to Lender from Borrower under this Note, other than interest, and
the provisions hereof will be deemed amended to provide for the highest
permissible rate. If there are no such amounts outstanding, Lender will refund
to Borrower such excess.
Borrower and all endorsers, sureties, guarantors and other persons
liable on this Note hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of
dishonor, protest, notice of protest and all other demands and notices in
connection with the delivery, performance and enforcement of this Note, and
consent to one or more renewals or extensions of this Note.
This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an instrument in
writing.
This Note will be construed and enforceable in accordance with, and be
governed by the internal laws of, the State of California, without regard to
principles of conflict of laws. Borrower agrees that the State and Federal
courts in Santa Clara County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction over
all matters arising out of this Note; provided that nothing contained in this
Agreement will prevent Lender from bringing any action, enforcing any award or
judgment or exercising any rights against Borrower, against any security or
against any property of Borrower within any other county, state or other foreign
or domestic jurisdiction, and (b) that service of process in any such proceeding
will be effective if mailed to Borrower at its address described in the Notices
section of the Agreement. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE.

BORROWER'S DISCLOSURES
SECTION 6.4
A search of the records of the County Recorder for Santa Clara County
(through September 22, 2003) revealed a county tax lien recorded as document
number 15944727 on file for Bay Area Multimedia, Inc. The Tax Collector of the
County of Santa Clara filed a Release of Lien on September 23, 2003 certifying
the Release of Lien recorded against Bay Area Multimedia, Inc. as document
number 19544727.
SECTION 6.5
BAM! ENTERTAINMENT INC. v. AMAZE ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
On April 1, 2003, Amaze Entertainment, Inc. ("Amaze") asserted
counterclaims against the Borrower in an action entitled BAM! ENTERTAINMENT INC.
v. AMAZE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. et. al. originally filed in the Superior Court of
California, County of Santa Clara (Case No. CV814820) on February 18, 2003, and
removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California (Case No. C03 01286 PVT) as a result of a motion filed by Amaze on or
about March 24, 2003.
Borrower asserted claims for relief based on rescission, breach of
contract, declaratory relief, and money paid and received with regard to an
agreement for a video game titled "Crushed Baseball" that Amaze was developing
for Borrower.
Amaze's counterclaims allege breach of contract and unjust enrichment
with regard to each of the "Crushed Baseball" development agreement and a
separate development agreement for another video game titled "Samurai Jack." The
counterclaims sought compensatory damages of approximately $3.5 million and
additional damages to be proven at trial.
On July 11, 2003 Amaze and Borrower agreed to compromise and settle all
claims either asserted or that could be asserted in connection with the dispute
and to mutually release any and all future claims and contentions they have
against each other. This compromise requires Amaze to make Borrower two
payments, one in July 2003 and a second in October 2003. Upon payment by Amaze
to Borrower of the sum due in October 2003, the parties will execute a
stipulation for dismissal of the legal actions.
v
<PAGE>
OVATION ENTERTAINMENT, LLC v. BAM! ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
On March 27, 2003, a complaint captioned OVATION ENTERTAINMENT, LLC v.
BAM! ENTERTAINMENT, INC. et. al. was filed against Borrower in the Superior
Court of California, County of Los Angeles (Case No. SCO76530). The complaint
alleges claims of breach of contract and fraud in connection with an exclusive
first look agreement, which was assigned to Ovation Entertainment, LLC
("Ovation") by the licensor originally party to the agreement, for content
relating to motion pictures and television projects to be licensed to Borrower
for development in connection with video games. The lawsuit seeks compensatory
damages believed to be in excess of $1 million and interest thereon, exemplary
or punitive damages, and attorneys' fees. On August 4, 2003, Ovation and
Borrower agreed to settle the litigation by amending the terms of the agreement,
and the legal action was dismissed on August 25, 2003.
