Exclusive Output Agreement - Bay Multimedia Inc. and Franchise Films Inc.


                           EXCLUSIVE OUTPUT AGREEMENT

     This Agreement (the "Agreement") is being entered into as of this 7th day
of April, 2000 by and between BAY MULTIMEDIA, INC. ("Bay") and FRANCHISE FILMS,
INC. ("Franchise") and sets forth the terms and conditions of their agreement
regarding Bay's acquisition of certain rights to Franchise's motion picture
output on an exclusive basis and certain other motion picture product, all as
more particularly set forth below. As used herein, the term "Parties" shall
refer collectively to Bay and Franchise, and the term "Party" shall refer to
Bay or Franchise individually. The Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.   SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT: For good and valuable consideration, receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged:

     a.   Exclusive First Look Obligation. During the Output Term (as defined
herein), Franchise shall submit to Bay, on an exclusive, "first-look" basis,
all Franchise Pictures (as defined herein) with respect to which Bay shall have
the right to exploit Interactive Entertainment Rights (as defined in Paragraph
5 hereof) in perpetuity throughout the universe, in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof. Each submission shall be made by Franchise in accordance
with the requirements and procedures set forth below. The term "Franchise
Picture" shall mean an original first class theatrical motion picture: (i) to
be produced or acquired for theatrical release by Franchise; and/or (ii) to be
otherwise released under the Franchise name and/or logo and/or any other name
and/or logo owned, operated or controlled by, or otherwise affiliated with,
Franchise, by itself or through a joint venture with another entity. A motion
picture project, property or film shall be deemed to be a Franchise Picture the
first date upon which Franchise enters into an agreement to acquire the rights
to cause such project, property or film to be produced, acquired or otherwise
released in accordance with the definition of a Franchise Picture hereunder
(the "Acquisition Date"). For purposes hereof, "first look" means that a
Franchise Picture shall be submitted solely and exclusively to Bay for purposes
of exploiting the Interactive Entertainment Rights in and to such Franchise
Picture before the same is submitted to any other person or entity. It is the
essence of this Agreement that Franchise will not submit any Franchise Picture
to a third party for acquisition, licensing, exploitation or any other use of
the Interactive Entertainment Rights unless and until the Franchise Picture has
been submitted to Bay hereunder and Bay has declined to exploit the Interactive
Entertainment Rights to the Franchise Picture (a "Rejected Picture"). A
Franchise Picture for which Bay elects to exploit the Interactive Entertainment
Rights shall be referred to as an "Included Picture."

     b.   Grant of Rights. Franchise hereby irrevocably grants, transfers,
assigns and licenses to Bay the Granted Rights (as defined in Paragraph 5
hereof) in and to each Franchise Picture during the Output Term (as defined
herein) in perpetuity throughout the universe subject to, and in accordance
with, the terms hereof.

     c.   Output Term. The term "Output Term" shall mean the period commencing
on the date hereof and expiring upon the later of (i) that date which is three
(3) years from the date hereof or (ii) initial theatrical release in the United
States of the tenth Included Picture. It is understood that notwithstanding the
expiration of the Output Term, Bay's Granted Rights with respect to each
Franchise Picture shall continue in perpetuity throughout the universe.

      d.    Wide Release Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Parties agree that in the event that an Included Picture
shall fail to be released theatrically by Franchise on at least 800 screens in
the United States simultaneously at any time during the 8 weeks after initial
release of such Included Picture (each Included Picture which fails to achieve
such a theatrical release shall be referred to herein as a "Limited Release
Picture"), such Limited Release Picture shall cease to be an Included Picture
hereunder for purposes of determining the Output Term.

2.    GRANTED RIGHTS: The term "Granted Rights" shall mean the exclusive
Interactive Entertainment Rights (as defined herein) to each of the Franchise
Pictures, all rights necessary to distribute, exploit, advertise, promote and
publicize such Interactive Entertainment Rights, and the identical rights to all
remakes, sequels and prequels of each Franchise Picture, for exploitation in
perpetuity throughout the Universe. "Interactive Entertainment Rights" shall
mean all of the following: (a) rights to develop and manufacture interactive
software products (the "Products") on all interactive entertainment software
platforms including, without limitation: (i) IBM PC, Apple Macintosh and Power
PC compatible computers and any similar or successor personal computers, whether
operating under DOS, Windows, OS/2, Macintosh OS, UNIX or any similar or
successor operating system, and whether operating in stand-alone or networked
configuration including, without limitation, on the interactive networks and the
Internet, and regardless of storage media (e.g., whether on CD-ROM, magnetic,
optical solid-state or other media), (ii) dedicated console gaming systems and
any similar or successor gaming systems (e.g., Sony PlayStation, Sony
PlayStation 2, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Dolphin, Nintendo 64, etc.), (iii) coin
operated, token operated or other arcade games, and (iv) handheld consoles and
devices (e.g., Nintendo Color Gameboy); and (b) rights to use elements of each
Franchise Picture including, without limitation, the soundtrack to each
Franchise Picture and the names, likenesses, biographies, photographs and
recorded voices of all persons appearing in each Franchise Picture, to the
extent Franchise possesses such rights, (i) as part of the name, label,
packaging, or trade dress (i.e., overall appearance and commercial impression)
of the Products, (ii) as part of the sound, graphics or other audio-visual
elements integral to the Products for use in all interactive media whether
heretofore known or hereafter developed, and (iii) in print media, point of
sale, radio broadcast and television advertising, and in brochures, sales
literature and promotional activities, including on-line promotional activities,
for the Products. The Parties agree that the Granted Rights are subject only to
any non-financial contractual restrictions thereon set forth in any bonafide
agreement entered into by Franchise with third parties of which Bay has received
written notice at the time of submission.

3.    SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:

      a.    Submission. Not later than five (5) business days following the
Acquisition Date of a Franchise Picture, Franchise shall submit the screenplay
for such Franchise Picture to Bay, along with a written notice ("Submission
Notice") from Franchise to Bay stating the proposed budget amount for such
Franchise Picture and informing Bay that the screenplay and notice constitute a
submission hereunder. In addition, Franchise shall submit to Bay a statement of
any and all creative elements attached to such Franchise Picture (e.g.,
director, writer, principal cast members) and all other relevant material
Franchise has in connection with such Franchise Picture (e.g., chain-of-title
documents, proposed schedule, expected date of initial United States theatrical
release) (collectively, all of the foregoing shall be known as the "Submission
Materials").

<PAGE>   3
     b.   Bay's Response to Submission. Within ninety (90) days following
receipt by Bay of a Submission Notice, together with complete Submission
Materials (the "Response Period"), Bay will provide written notice to Franchise
whether Bay elects to exploit the Interactive Entertainment Rights to such
Franchise Picture. The Response Period may be extended in writing by Bay as
reasonably necessary to confirm the validity of the chain of title for such
Franchise Picture. Bay's failure to respond within the Response Period shall be
deemed to constitute Bay's rejection of such Franchise Picture and such
Franchise Picture shall thereafter be deemed to be a Rejected Picture.

     c.   Rejected Pictures. With respect to each Rejected Picture, Franchise
will have the option to arrange for the Interactive Entertainment Rights to
such Rejected Picture to be acquired by third parties; provided, however, that
prior to the time that Franchise concludes any agreement to set up such rights
with a third party, if there is any change in any of the elements set forth in
the Submission Materials (e.g., additional writing, a change in the budget
amount, a change in the principal cast), then Franchise shall resubmit the
Rejected Picture to Bay in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 6.a. above
and the Rejected Picture shall not be submitted to any third party unless and
until Bay has again declined to exploit said rights. All of Bay's right, title,
and interest in and to each Rejected Picture that is not required to be
resubmitted to Bay pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 6.c. shall revert to
Franchise automatically. Bay shall quitclaim all rights in and to such Rejected
Picture to Franchise. Upon Franchise's written request, Bay shall execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Franchise a customary
quitclaim or such other instruments, documents or agreements as Franchise may
reasonably deem necessary to effectuate such quitclaim.

     d.   Submission by Bay. In addition to Franchise's submissions hereunder,
Bay shall have the right, but not the obligation, to submit to Franchise, at
any time, theatrical motion picture projects for which Bay is willing to
exploit the Interactive Entertainment Rights. None of such projects shall be
deemed a Franchise Picture hereunder unless and until Franchise enters into a
binding written agreement to acquire the rights to cause such project to be
produced, acquired or otherwise released in accordance with the definition of a
Franchise Picture hereunder.

4.   EQUITY INTEREST:

     a.   Bay Common Stock. Franchise shall be entitled to receive up to an
aggregate total of seven hundred fifty thousand (750,000) shares of Bay common
stock (the "Equity Interest"), which shares shall accrue and be payable to
Franchise in ten (10) equal installments (each installment representing
one-tenth (1/10) of the Equity Interest) within 10 business days from initial
United States theatrical release of each of the first ten (10) Included
Pictures.

     b.   Rights of First Refusal.

          i.   Offer of Sale; Notice of Proposed Sale. If at any time Franchise
               desires to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its
               shares of the capital stock of Bay now or hereafter held or any
               interest in such shares of capital stock of Bay (referred to
               herein as "Shares"), Franchise shall deliver written notice of
               its desire to do so (the "Sale Notice") to Bay, which Sale Notice
               must be accompanied by a binding agreement (the "Binding
               Agreement"), which
<PAGE>   4

            Binding Agreement shall be expressly subject to Franchise's
            complying with the provisions of this Agreement, including this
            Paragraph 7, with a bona fide purchaser reasonably capable of
            completing such purchase (the "Proposed Transferee"). The Sale
            Notice and Binding Agreement shall specify (i) the name and address
            of the Proposed Transferee(s), (ii) the number of Shares Franchise
            proposes to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of (referred to
            herein as "Offered Shares"), (iii) the consideration per Offered
            Share to be delivered to Franchise for the proposed sale, transfer
            or disposition and (iv) all other material terms and conditions of
            the proposed transaction.

      ii.   Option to Purchase. Bay shall have the option to purchase all or
            any portion of the Offered Shares for the consideration per share
            and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice and
            Binding Agreement. The Company may only exercise such option by
            delivery of written notice to Franchise prior to the date fifteen
            (15) business days after the date of delivery of the Sale Notice.
            If Bay delivers written notice of its intent to purchase all or any
            portion of the Offered Shares, then the closing of the purchase of
            the Offered Shares shall take place at the offices of Bay no later
            than ten (10) business days after the expiration of the fifteen
            (15) day period specified above.

      iii.  Form of Consideration. To the extent that the consideration
            proposed to be paid by the Proposed Transferee for the Offered
            Shares consists of property other than cash or a promissory note
            (the "Non-Cash Consideration"), the consideration required to be
            paid by Bay exercising its option under this Paragraph 7.b. may
            consist of cash equal to the value of the Non-Cash Consideration,
            as determined in good faith by Bay's Board of Directors.
            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, the
            fifteen (15) day period specified in Paragraph 7.b.ii. shall
            commence when the value of the Non-Cash Consideration is determined.

      iv.   Sale to Proposed Transferee. To the extent Bay fails (i) to deliver
            written notice or notices of intent to purchase any of the Offered
            Shares within the fifteen (15) day period specified in Paragraph
            7.b.ii. or (ii) to close the purchase of the Offered Shares within
            the applicable period specified in Paragraph 7.b.ii., then Franchise
            may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the remaining Offered
            Shares to the Proposed Transferee at any time within one hundred
            twenty (120) days after the date of the delivery of the Sale Notice
            on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice and Binding Agreement. Any
            Offered Shares not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of within
            the applicable one hundred twenty (120) day period shall continue to
            be subject to all of the requirements of this Paragraph 7 as if
            there had been no prior offer or Sale Notice. Notwithstanding the
            above, the Offered Shares shall not be sold, transferred or
            otherwise disposed of unless such purchaser or acquirer is bound or
            agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Paragraph 7,
            and any such sale, transfer or disposition where such purchaser or
            acquirer is not bound or does not so agree to be bound shall be
            void.
<PAGE>   5

     c.   Additional Transfer Restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision of
          this Agreement to the contrary, no Shares or any other equity
          securities of Bay or rights or warrants exercisable, exchangeable or
          convertible into any equity securities of Bay may be made to any
          third party if such third party is engaged, directly or indirectly,
          whether as an owner or an employee, in a business that is similar to
          or in competition with the business of Bay.

     d.   Lock-up Agreement. In consideration for Bay agreeing to its
          obligations under this Agreement, Franchise agrees, in connection
          with the first qualified public offering of Bay securities, upon
          request of Bay or the underwriters managing such offering, not to
          sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase
          of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of Bay (other than those
          included in the registration) without the prior written consent of
          Bay or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time
          (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) from the effective date
          of such registration as Bay or the underwriters may specify.
          Franchise agrees that Bay may instruct its transfer agent to place
          stop transfer notations in its records to enforce the provisions of
          this Paragraph 7.

     e.   Effect of Not Following Procedures. Any sale, transfer or other
          disposition of any Shares not in accordance with the foregoing
          procedures of this Paragraph 7 shall be null and void and of no force
          and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
          herein, nothing shall prevent Franchise from pledging or otherwise
          encumbering its Shares; provided, however, that the pledgee or holder
          of such encumbrance shall not be entitled to acquire such Shares upon
          default or otherwise unless the provisions of this Paragraph 7 are
          first complied with.

5.   ROYALTY PAYMENTS:

     a.   Royalties. Provided Franchise is not in material breach of or default
under the terms of this Agreement, and subject to the limitations set forth in
Paragraph 8.b. hereof, Bay agrees to pay Franchise a royalty in the amount of
[*] of Net Sales (as defined in Schedule NS attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference) of each of the Products developed by Bay in connection with
an Included Picture hereunder. Any royalties due pursuant to this Section 8.a.
shall be paid to Franchise on a quarterly basis for two (2) years, semiannually
for the next three (3) years and annually thereafter, and shall be accompanied
by a royalty statement.

     b.   Limitations on Royalties. No royalties shall be due for the sale of
Products that result in a loss to Bay. No royalties will be payable on returns
that are accepted and credited by Bay or an affiliate of Bay, on units of the
Products distributed exclusively for demonstration or promotional purposes, or
for replacements. Bay shall have the right to retain a reasonable reserve from
royalties for returned Products (provided that such reserve will be reviewed
and, if appropriate, liquidated in good faith on a quarterly basis). To the
extent that the actual returns to Bay or affiliates of Bay in any given quarter
are greater than the expected returns based on which Bay has adjusted any
royalty payments, such difference will be withheld by or payable to Bay, as the
case may be. No royalties will be payable on sales or other transactions between
Bay and any affiliates of Bay. If Bay makes a royalty payment to franchise where
Bay is subsequently required to refund or reduce all or any part of the gross
revenue collected by it, Bay shall have the right to a refund of overpayments of
royalties made to Franchise.

<PAGE>   6
      c.    Books and Records Relating to Sales. Bay will maintain sufficient
and accurate books and records relating to all transactions relevant to sales
of the Products or in respect of which Bay is required to provide information
in a royalty statement.

      d.    Inspection. Bay will permit a chartered accountant reasonably
acceptable to Bay and appointed by Franchise (the "Franchise Accountant") to
inspect the books and records maintained by Bay after thirty (30) days notice at
any reasonable time during normal business hours at Franchise's expense and in
such manner as not to interfere with the business of Bay for the purpose of
verifying the correctness of the royalty statements and the payments made by Bay
to Franchise by way of royalty pursuant to this Paragraph 8. Franchise shall not
be entitled to make such inspections more frequently than on one occasion in
each period of twelve (12) calendar months unless it can demonstrate that there
are exceptional circumstances requiring such additional inspections. In the
event that the Franchise Accountant discovers an error of greater than [*]
in favor of Franchise, Franchise shall be entitled to reimbursement by Bay
for the costs of such a review.

      e.    No Disclosure. Franchise shall not and shall cause the Franchise
Accountant not to disclose any information acquired as a result of any such
examination or inspection to any person, firm or corporation other than its
employees, authorized representatives and as otherwise strictly necessary to
enforce its rights hereunder.

6.    CONSULTATION RIGHTS: Franchise shall regularly and meaningfully consult
with Bay in good faith during the Output Term with respect to (a) Franchise's
development/acquisition slate for Franchise Pictures and (b) all key creative
elements of the Included Pictures. Franchise shall advise Bay as to the status
of pre-production, production and post-production of each Included Picture on
no less than a monthly basis. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Franchise agrees to provide Bay with regular production status reports during
the period of principal photography and post-production of each Included
Picture. Bay agrees to consult with Franchise with respect to the initial
marketing campaign and release of all Products developed in connection with
each Included Picture.

7.    BOOKS AND RECORDS: Franchise shall at all times maintain customary
production books and records (including copies of third party agreements and
chain-of-title documentation) for each Included Picture and shall, upon Bay's
request, for a period of up to two (2) years after initial United States
theatrical release of the applicable Included Picture, provide Bay with
reasonable access to review and copy the same during reasonable business hours.

8.    DELIVERY: The term "Delivery" shall mean Bay's receipt and approval of
all of the items listed in Schedule DS attached hereto (the "Delivery Items")
and incorporated herein by reference relating to each Included Picture, by a
date no later than two (2) weeks following completion of post production of
each Included Picture ("Delivery Date"); provided, however, with respect to
Franchise's acquisition of Included Pictures in completed form, in lieu of the
foregoing, the Delivery Date shall be no later than thirty (30) days following
Franchise's acquisition of such Included Picture. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Franchise agrees to use its best efforts to provide any Delivery
Items to Bay as soon as is practicable during the course of production.
Franchise agrees further to provide Bay reasonable access to the set during
production of an Included Picture, on a non-interference basis with production,
to enable Bay to photograph the set and to conduct motion capture sessions as
Bay may arrange with cast members. If the Delivery Items are not fully
delivered in accordance with this Paragraph 11 by the Delivery Date, Bay may
choose, at Bay's sole discretion, to exclude such Included Picture from the
total of Included Pictures hereunder for the



*  Confidential Portion Omitted and Filed Separately with the Commission.




<PAGE>   7
purpose of determining the Output Term. Franchise agrees herein that the
Delivery Items shall be fully paid for by Franchise and Bay shall not be
responsible for any of the costs of Delivery. It is understood and agreed by Bay
and Franchise that any Delivery Items delivered to Bay hereunder shall become
the sole and exclusive property of Bay; provided, however, in no event shall
Bay's ownership of such materials be deemed to give Bay any greater rights in
the Included Picture than the Granted Rights.

9.      PUBLICITY MATERIALS: Franchise agrees herein to provide Bay with free
access to all publicity and advertising materials which have been prepared (and
cleared by Franchise) in connection with the theatrical release of each Included
Picture (provided, that any costs associated with duplication of such materials
shall be borne by Bay and recoupable by Bay hereunder). The Parties agree that
Bay may use such publicity and advertising materials to promote, advertise and
market all Products developed in connection with the applicable Included
Picture.

10.     REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF FRANCHISE: Franchise hereby
represents, warrants and covenants to Bay as follows:

        a.      Power. Franchise is a corporation duly formed and validly
existing in good standing under the laws of the State of __________ and has the
requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder.

        b.      Duly Authorized. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by
Franchise and the consummation by Franchise of the transactions contemplated

shall hereafter continue to be), free and clear of any and all claims, liens,
charges or encumbrances which materially impair or materially and adversely
affect the Granted Rights; further, there are not, and there will not be
outstanding at any time, any liens, claims, charges, encumbrances, restrictions,

way interfere with, impair, abrogate, or adversely or otherwise affect any of
the Granted Rights under this Agreement, and that there are not and will not be
any payments of any kind required to be made by Bay in respect, or as a result,

granted to Bay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bay
acknowledges and agrees that Franchise if permitted to accord applicable guilds,
the financing bank, and the completion guarantor for a Franchise Picture, with a
security interest that has priority over Bay's security interest; provided,
however, Franchise shall use good faith efforts to require the applicable guilds
to subordinate to Bay's security interest and shall require the financing bank's
lien and the completion guarantor's lien in the Franchise Picture to terminate
immediately upon delivery of such Franchise Picture to the distributor(s) of
such Franchise Picture.

        d.      No Infringement. With respect to each Franchise Picture and the
advertising and publicity materials in connection therewith provided to Bay
hereunder: (i) the foregoing does not and will not contain any language or
material which is libelous, slanderous, or defamatory; and (ii) the foregoing

service mark, literary, dramatic or musical right, or right of privacy or
publicity) of any person, or violate any applicable law in a fashion which
would adversely affect Bay's ability to exercise the Granted Rights hereunder.

     e.   Music. With respect to each musical composition in each Franchise
Picture, Franchise will own and control or will have been granted, without any
limitations or restrictions whatsoever, all motion picture performance,
synchronization, mechanical license and all other Granted Rights hereunder in

the full, complete and unlimited exercise and enjoyment by Bay of each and all
of the Granted Rights under this Agreement; and the non-dramatic musical

Bay's exercise of the Granted Rights hereunder are: (i) controlled by the
American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, Broadcast Music, Inc.
or SESAC; or (ii) owned by or licensed to Franchise so that no additional
clearance of, or payment with respect to, such rights will be required by Bay
in connection with the exercise of the Granted Rights; or (iii) in the public

     h. No Conflicting Grant. With respect to its projects, properties and
films, Franchise has not granted and will not grant to any third person (i) any
of the Granted Rights granted to Bay hereunder nor (ii) any other rights which

     i. Compliance With Laws. Each Franchise Picture, and all parts thereof,
will be, or has been produced in compliance with any and all relevant laws,
rules, regulations, guidelines, whether state, federal, international or local
(i.e., those imposed by any union, guild or labor organization), applicable to
the production and completion of motion pictures. Each Franchise Picture shall
not, either in whole or in part constitute, or contain any material which
constitutes, a violation of any law or administrative regulation or rule, or to
the best of Franchise's knowledge in the exercise of due diligence, an
invasion, violation or infringement of any right or interest of any third
party; and shall be produced in accordance with all applicable laws, statutes,
ordinances, rules, regulations and requirements of all governmental agencies
and regulatory bodies, both domestic and foreign, having jurisdiction with
respect to the production of each such Franchise Picture. To the extent
required pursuant to any applicable law by reason of Franchise's or any other
entity's activities, Franchise and/or such other entity or entities, as the
case may be, shall have become signatory to all applicable collective
bargaining agreements and Franchise's activities and those of such other entity
or entities in connection with the Franchise Pictures have not, are not and
will not be in violation of such collective bargaining agreements, to the
extent same are applicable thereto.

     j. Advertising. Bay may use, subject only to contractual restrictions
contained in applicable talent agreements, which Franchise has notified Bay of
in writing prior to submission, the names and likenesses of all talent rendering
services in connection with the Franchise Picture in any and all advertising and
publicity materials and Bay will not be restricted in any way from using any of
the talent's names and likenesses in connection with such advertising and
publicity materials.

     k. Investment Experience. Franchise represents that it is experienced in
evaluating and investing in companies in a similar stage of development as Bay
and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself in the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and has the ability to bear the economic risks
of its investment pursuant to this Agreement. Franchise is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares and can bear
the risk of the loss of the entire Equity Interest. Franchise has not been
organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares. Franchise is an "Accredited
Investor" as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     l. Investment for Own Account. The Shares will be acquired for Franchise's
own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to or in connection
with the sale or distribution of any part thereof. There is no contract or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to any
third person with respect to the Shares.

11.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BAY: Bay hereby represents,
warrants and covenants to Franchise as follows:

     a. Power. Bay is a corporation duly formed and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the State of [California] and has the requisite
power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations
hereunder.


<PAGE>   10
     b.  Duly Authorized. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Bay
and the consummation by Bay of the transactions contemplated hereby have been
duly authorized and no other corporate or partnership proceeding or consent on
the part of Bay is necessary to authorize this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.

     c.  Capitalization. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of
Bay consists solely of fifteen million (15 mil) shares of common stock, of which
five mil seven thirty three thousand (5,733,333) shares have been issued. Each
share issued has been issued in conformity with applicable law.

12.  INDEMNITY:

     a.  Franchise. Franchise hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Bay, its parent, subsidiaries and related companies, its licensees,
subdistributors and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors,
agents, and employees from any and all third party claims, actions or
proceedings of any kind and from any and all damages, liabilities, costs and
expenses (including reasonable legal fees and costs) relating to or arising out
of any breach of any of the warranties, representations or agreements of
Franchise hereunder or any error or omission in any of the material or
information furnished to Bay in accordance with this Agreement.

     b.  Bay. Bay hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Franchise, its parent, subsidiaries and related companies and affiliates, and
their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees from any and all
third party claims, actions or proceedings of any kind and from any and all
damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
costs) relating to or arising out of any breach of any of the warranties,
representations or agreements of Bay hereunder or otherwise in connection with
the Products (except to the extent such claims, actions or proceedings give rise
to Franchise's indemnification obligations under this Agreement).

13.  REMEDIES:

     a.  Franchise's Remedies. No action or omission by Bay shall constitute a
breach of this Agreement unless Franchise first notifies Bay in writing setting
forth the alleged breach or default and Bay does not cure the same. If Bay
breaches its obligations hereunder, the damage, if any, caused Franchise shall
not be irreparable or sufficient to entitle Franchise to injunctive or other
equitable relief. Consequently, Franchise's rights and remedies shall be
limited to the right, if any, to obtain damages at law and Franchise shall not
have any right in such event to terminate or rescind this Agreement or any of
the rights granted to Bay hereunder or to enjoin or restrain the advertising,
promotion, distribution, exhibition or exploitation of the Franchise Pictures
and/or any of Bay's rights hereunder. Bay's payment of any compensation or
performance of any obligation hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by Bay of
any breach by Franchise of any rights or remedies which Bay may have as a
result of such breach, provided, however, that if such a breach by Franchise
(i) is inadvertent and non-recurring (i.e., not intentional or repeated) and is
by its nature reasonably curable and (ii) allowing Franchise to cure such a
breach will not result in additional expense to Bay, then Franchise shall have
a period of five (5) business days from the date of notice from Bay of such
breach within which to cure such breach.

     c.  Remedies Cumulative. Except as set forth in Paragraph 16.a. above, all
remedies accorded herein or otherwise available to either Party hereto shall be
cumulative, and no one such remedy shall be exclusive of, nor shall it be
considered a waiver of, any other.
<PAGE>   11


     d.   Rights Unique.  Franchise acknowledges that the rights herein granted
are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character
giving them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or
adequately compensated in damages in an action at law, and that a breach by
Franchise will cause Bay irreparable injury and damage. Bay shall be entitled to
injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent any breach by Franchise.

14.  NOTICES:  All notices shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the
address(es) for notice set forth below or hereafter supplied by a Party to the
other. Notices shall be effective on the date received, if delivered by hand or
by facsimile, on the next business day following delivery thereof to an air
courier for overnight delivery, and on the third business day after deposit
into the United States mail, postage prepaid.

15.  SUBSEQUENT PRODUCTIONS:  Without regard to the expiration of the Output
Term, Bay shall have a continuing rolling right of first negotiation/first
refusal to exploit the Granted Rights with respect to sequels, prequels and/or
remakes (as such terms are customarily defined in the United States
entertainment industry, each a "Subsequent Production") of an Included Picture
hereunder provided that Bay's right to exploit the Granted Rights in a
Subsequent Production to an Included Picture on a rolling basis shall be
conditioned on Bay having exploited the rights in the immediately prior
Subsequent Production to such Included Picture.

16.  KEY EXECUTIVES:  If at any time during the Output Term, both of [Elie
Samaha] and ___________ (or their Bay approved replacement; if applicable) are
no longer rendering substantial in person services to Franchise as employees
thereof, then Bay shall have the option, to be exercised in its sole discretion,
to terminate the Output Term at any time thereafter upon 5 business days' notice
(such termination shall not affect any Included Picture prior to the date of
such termination), except that if Franchise finds replacements for [Elie Samaha]
which are of comparable stature and which are acceptable to Bay (which
acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld), then Bay shall not have the
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 19.

17.  SECURITY DOCUMENTATION: Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement,
Franchise hereby agrees to execute the security documentation set forth in
Schedule SD attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which
documentation shall grant Bay a priority lien and security interest in each
Franchise Picture, which security interest shall be terminable in accordance
with the terms thereof. Franchise further agrees to promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents (including, without limitation,
copyright registration of the underlying material upon which the Franchise
Picture is based, any financing statements, continuation statements, mortgages
of copyright and any amendments thereto), and take all further action that may
be necessary or desirable, or that Bay may request, in order to perfect and
protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted by the
security documentation or to enable Bay to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies under the security documentation or with respect to any collateral
thereunder. Franchise hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Bay, as
Franchise's attorney-in-fact (Franchise acknowledges that said appointment is
coupled with an interest) to take all steps in Franchise's name as may be
reasonably required to execute such documentation in the event that Franchise
fails to execute such documentation.

18.  CONFIDENTIALITY: The Parties shall hold in confidence the terms of this
Agreement and any negotiations relating thereto. Neither Party shall disclose,
without the other Party's prior consent to any third party (other than its
respective employees, directors, officers, attorneys and agents engaged in this
transaction, in their capacity as such, on a need-to-know basis), any
information with respect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement except:
(a) to the extent necessary to comply with law or the valid order of a court of
competent jurisdiction, in which event the party making such disclosure shall
so notify the other party as promptly as practicable (if possible, prior to
making such disclosure) and shall seek confidential treatment of such
information; (b) as part of its normal reporting or review procedure to its
parent company, banks, auditors, investment bankers, underwriters and/or
attorneys (collectively, "Reporting Parties"), provided that such Reporting
Parties agree to be bound by the provisions of this Paragraph 21; (c) in order
to enforce its rights pursuant to this Agreement; and (d) when such information
is otherwise publicly available.

19.  INITIAL PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT: The Parties agree that the timing and content
of the initial announcement (if any) relating to the completion of this
Agreement will be mutually coordinated and agreed upon before being issued by
Bay, Franchise, or any third party.

20.  ASSIGNMENT: Franchise may not assign, transfer, sell, mortgage, pledge or
hypothecate this Agreement or any interest herein or rights hereunder, in whole
or in part, either voluntary or by operation of law (including without
limitation by merger or consolidation or otherwise), without the prior written
consent of Bay, except that Franchise may freely assign this Agreement to its
successor or successors, to any of its associated, affiliated and subsidiary
companies or to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of its assets
on the condition that assignee assumes all of Franchise's obligations hereunder
in writing; and, provided, further, Franchise shall be entitled to assign one
time only its right to receive payments hereunder, without Bay's consent, if
such assignment is made pursuant to a signed, written payment direction.

transportation, handling, carriage, delivery, insurance, taxes (including
withholding taxes and Value Added Tax), duties, tariffs, assessments, levies
and other governmental and "pass-through" charges on or after sale of units of
the Product; (b) actual, direct, third party costs of raw materials and all
finished goods sold (e.g., cost of production, duplication, manufacturing and
