MASTER PURCHASE ORDER ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
------------------------------------------
THIS AGREEMENT is made on the 25 day of February, 2000, by and between
TRANSCAP TRADE FINANCE, an Illinois general partnership (the "CONTRACTOR") and
BAY AREA MULTIMEDIA, INC., a California corporation (the "MANUFACTURER"), as
follows:
BACKGROUND OF AGREEMENT:
A. The parties have signed an agreement in principle to enter into a
purchase order assignment program under which the Manufacturer will
assign customer purchase orders to the Contractor and request the
Contractor to purchase the required materials to fulfill such purchase
orders; the Contractor will retain the Manufacturer to manufacture,
process and ship ordered goods; and fees will be paid to the Manufacturer
for its services upon payment to the Contractor for the goods.
B. The parties desire to enter into a formal agreement to set forth the
terms and provisions of the purchase order assignment program.
THEREFORE, in consideration of the services to be performed, the payments
to be made, and the obligations to be assumed as set forth in this Agreement,
the parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. In this Agreement, the following frequently used terms
are defined as set forth in this paragraph 1:
(a) The "CERTIFICATE" means the Purchase Order Package Certificate
attached hereto as Exhibit "A" required to be delivered with each request for
assignment of a purchase order. The form of Certificate is attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof.
(b) With respect to each purchase order submitted for assignment
hereunder, the Certificate will define the "PRODUCT" (the end product to be
delivered to the customer), the "CUSTOMER" (the business entity which issues the
purchase order), the "MATERIALS" (the materials required to produce the
Product), the "PREMISES" (Manufacturer's facility or such other facility
identified in the Certificate where the Materials will be delivered and Products
will be produced), the "P.O. PRICE" (the purchase price to be paid by the
Customer for the Products), the "P.O. DELIVERY DATE" (the date on which Products
are to be delivered to the Customer as set forth in the Certificate), and the
"MATERIALS DELIVERY DATE" (the date on which the Materials are to be delivered
to the Manufacturer as set forth in the Certificate). The Manufacturer is not
engaged in the manufacturing business but is engaged in the development, sale,
and distribution of Products; and Materials and Products shall refer to the same
goods.
(c) A purchase order delivered to the Manufacturer in the ordinary course
of its business is referred to as a "P.O." A P.O. which meets all of the
requirements of paragraph 3 below is deemed to be unconditionally accepted by
Contractor and is referred to as an "ACCEPTED P.O." The date on which the
Contractor delivers notice of acceptance of the assignment of the P.O. is
referred to as the "ACCEPTANCE DATE". When an Accepted P.O. is made null and
void pursuant to this
<PAGE> 2
Agreement, it is referred to as a "CANCELED P.O." Under certain circumstances,
when a P.O. is not assignable to the Contractor, the Contractor will accept an
assignment of the proceeds of the P.O. In such cases, the terms P.O. and
Accepted P.O. will mean the proceeds of such P.O. or Accepted P.O. as the case
may be.
(d) A financial institution engaged in the practice of lending sums to
the Manufacturer secured at least in part by Manufacturer's accounts receivable
is referred to as the "ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE LENDER". The Accounts Receivable
Lender involved in this transaction (if any) is identified on Addendum I
attached hereto. A "SENIOR LENDER" is any financial institution (including the
Accounts Receivable Lender) which is engaged in lending sums to the Manufacturer
secured by liens on some or all of the Manufacturer's assets. Each Senior Lender
involved in this transaction (if any) is also identified on Addendum I.
(e) The inventory of Products produced for satisfaction of a P.O. is
referred to as the "P.O. INVENTORY"; the invoice rendered upon delivery of
Products pursuant to a P.O. is referred to as the "P.O. INVOICE"; and payments
received on account of P.O. Invoices (whether paid by the Customer, the Accounts
Receivable Lender, the Manufacturer, or any other patty) are referred to as the
"P.O. PROCEEDS".
(f) The Manufacturer may repurchase an Accepted P.O. pursuant to
paragraph 8(b) below. In the absence of such repurchase, an Accepted P.O.
becomes a "DELINQUENT P.O." if the P.O. Price is not paid to the Contractor by
the earliest of (i) the due date for payment of the P.O. Invoice, (ii) one
hundred and five (105) days following the Funding Date if Contractor issues its
letter of credit or purchase order, (iii) thirty (30) days following the Funding
Date if Contractor advances funds by other than issuing its letter of credit or
purchase order, or (iv) the date on which the Accepted P.O. is canceled.
(g) If a lock box collection procedure is established pursuant to this
Agreement, the term "LOCK BOX" refers to the Contractor's lock box account; and
the term "LOCK BOX BANK" means the bank at which the Contractor establishes the
Lock Box and so notifies Manufacturer in writing. The Lock Box and Lock Box Bank
involved in this transaction (if any) are identified on Addendum II attached
hereto.
(h) The "FUNDING DATE" is the date on which the Contractor makes its
first Materials purchase in connection with an Accepted P.O. or issues its
letter of credit or purchase order or otherwise advances funds to or for the
benefit of or on account of an Accepted P.O., whichever is earlier. The
"CLEARANCE DATE" is the date on which the Contractor (or the Lock Box Bank) has
received full payment of the P.O. Price in connection with an Accepted P.O. in
fully collected funds.
(i) The Manufacturer will perform its obligations in accordance with the
"MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS" which are set forth on Exhibit "B" attached
hereto and will be paid a "MANUFACTURER'S FEE" computed in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph 7(c) below. The Manufacturer's obligations are secured
by a "SECURITY AGREEMENT" described in paragraph 10 below.

<PAGE> 3
(j) The Contractor will be paid "COMMITMENT FEE" (computed and paid
pursuant to Paragraph 6 below), the "CONTRACTOR'S DEAL FEES" (computed and paid
pursuant to Paragraph 7 below), and "CONTRACTOR'S EXPENSES" (computed and paid
pursuant to Paragraph 9 below). For purposes of computing the waiver of portions
of the Commitment Fee, the term "PRODUCT VOLUME" means the aggregate of (a) the
face amounts of all letters of credit issued by Contractor plus (b) the
aggregate amount of funds advanced by Contractor by other than issuing its
letters of credit, in connection with an Accepted P.O. for which a P.O. Invoice
is issued on or before the date on which payment of the Commitment Fee is due;
and "MINIMUM VOLUME" means Product Volume which equals or exceeds $3,000,000.

defined in Paragraph 3(b)(i), the Security Deposit will be maintained in
accordance with Paragraph 10.1.
2. SUBMISSION OF P.O.'s FOR ASSIGNMENT. Subject to the terms of this

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3(a) above, Contractor
shall not accept the assignment of any P.O. which does not meet the following

excess of the Contractor's funding commitment with respect to the P.O. over
60% of the P.O. Price;
(ii) Manufacturer shall have on deposit with Contractor a Security
Deposit as set forth in Paragraph 10.1 hereof;

confirmation from the Customer and any vendors); and
(vi) The Manufacturer shall have delivered to the Contractor such
additional information and documentation as the Contractor may have from
time to time requested.
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this paragraph 3, the
Contractor's acceptance of the assignment of a P.O. shall be made null and void

the following:
(i) The failure of the Contractor to obtain accepted orders for
Materials at prices and on other terms and conditions acceptable to the
Contractor within five (5) business days following the Acceptance Date,
and Contractor's notice to the Manufacturer thereof. Upon delivery of
such notice to Manufacturer, Contractor's rights and interests in and to
the P.O. will be terminated absolutely and Contractor shall have no
obligation whatsoever, to Manufacturer with respect to such P.O.;
(ii) The failure of a vendor of Materials to deliver Materials
which conform to Contractor's specifications to the Premises on or before

shall have the right to require Manufacturer to purchase the Materials
from Contractor and shall assign to Manufacturer the right to receive
those Materials which have not then arrived at the Premises;
(iii) The cancellation of the P.O. prior to delivery of Products
to the Customer. Upon such cancellation, Manufacturer shall pay

product liability claims with respect to the Products or the use and
distribution thereof.
(d) A P.O. shall be deemed an Accepted P.O. only when (i) the P.O. is

assigned P.O. shall be deemed conditional and subject to revocation at any time.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, with respect to
all Accepted P.O.'s (and only so long as such P.O. remains an Accepted P.O.)
Contractor hereby appoints the Manufacturer as Contractor's exclusive source for
acceptance of Materials at the Premises, performance of all manufacturing,
processing and warehousing requirements with respect to the conversion of
Materials into Products, and the delivery of Products to Customers, and the
Manufacturer hereby accepts such appointment. Manufacturer agrees to perform all
of its obligations pursuant to this paragraph 4 in a good and workmanlike
manner, to utilize quality control procedures consistent with the standards of
Manufacturer and the industry, and to otherwise comply with each of the
Manufacturer's Specifications.
(b) So long as any Materials or Products are located at the Premises or
are scheduled for delivery to the Premises, Manufacturer agrees to warehouse all
Materials and Products and, with respect to such warehousing obligations,
Manufacturer agrees to perform in accordance with all of the Manufacturer's
Specifications.
(c) Manufacturer further agrees that with respect to Materials purchased
by Contractor pursuant to (and in accordance with) a Certificate which are not
(or cannot be) used in connection with the applicable Accepted P.O., upon
Contractor's written notice:
(i) Manufacturer shall purchase such Materials from Contractor
within three (3) days following Contractor's notice for a purchase price
equal to Contractor's costs for the Materials; or
(ii) If Manufacturer fails to make such purchase of Materials,
such Materials shall be sold by Contractor and the proceeds thereof
applied first to Contractor's costs for the Materials, and the balance,
if any, to Manufacturer.
5. PAYMENT AND RE-ASSIGNMENT.
(a) Upon delivery of Products to the Customer pursuant to an
Accepted P.O., Manufacturer shall issue a P.O. Invoice (and deliver any other
related documents required by the applicable P.O. for issuance of an invoice on
account of such P.O.) to the Customer for the full P.O. Price. Upon Contractor's
direction, the P.O. Invoice so issued shall be in the name of the Contractor and
shall direct the Customer to make payment to the Contractor (or the Lock Box, if

<PAGE> 6
(b) At such time as Contractor has received payment in full on account of
a P.O. Invoice, the Contractor shall pay Manufacturer in accordance with
paragraph 7 below, and shall re-assign the applicable Accepted P.O. and all
rights with respect thereto to the Manufacturer and the Manufacturer shall
accept such re-assignment. The re-assignment shall be evidenced by a
Re-Assignment and Release of Purchase Order in the form of Exhibit "C" attached
hereto.
(c) Sums received by the Contractor on account of a P.O. Invoice shall be
applied by the Contractor for the satisfaction of the expenses, fees and charges

Contractor upon a Delinquent P.O. in the manner and pursuant to the terms of
paragraph 8 below.
6. COMMITMENT FEE.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 6, Manufacturer shall pay
Contractor a Commitment Fee in consideration of Contractor's commitment to
reserve and have available sufficient funds to purchase Materials or to
otherwise advance funds in connection with a P.O. for Product Volume in amounts
equal to or exceeding the Minimum Volume as contemplated by this Agreement. The
Commitment Fee shall be in the sum of $150,000 and shall be paid by Manufacturer
on the earlier of twelve (12) months following the date of this Agreement or the
date of termination of this Agreement. The Commitment Fee for the term of this
Agreement is deemed by the parties to have been earned by the Contractor upon
the signing of this Agreement, as of which date the Contractor has reserved the
requisite funds.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) above, all or a
portion of the Commitment Fee shall be waived in accordance with the provisions
of this subparagraph (b). If Product Volume as of the due date for payment of
the Commitment Fee equals or exceeds the Minimum Volume, the entire Commitment
Fee shall automatically be deemed waived by the Contractor. If Product Volume as
of the due date for payment of the Commitment Fee does not equal or exceed the
Minimum Volume, Contractor shall waive that portion of the Commitment Fee equal
to the Commitment Fee multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Product Volume as of the due date for payment of the Commitment Fee, and the
denominator of which is the Minimum Volume.
