                                WARRANT AGREEMENT

        WARRANT AGREEMENT, dated as of April 17, 2000, between DIGITAL LAVA
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Eric Parsells (the "Holder").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, Holder has provided consulting services to the Company during
2000 and pursuant to an agreement dated April 17, 2000 between the Holder and
the Company (the "Letter Agreement"), Holder agreed to receive partial
compensation in consideration therefor of 20,000 warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per
share ("Common Stock," shares of Common Stock shall be referred to as "Shares"
or "Common Shares"), at an exercise price of $5.875 per share (the "Warrants").

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein set forth and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1. Issue. The Company shall issue to Holder a certificate (the "Warrant
Certificate") dated as of the date hereof providing such Holder with the right
to purchase, at any time, from the date hereof until 5:30 p.m., New York time,
on April 16, 2005, 20,000 Common Shares (the "Warrant Shares") (subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 9 hereof), at an exercise price (subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 9 hereof) of $5.875 per Common Share.

        2. Warrant Certificate. The Warrant Certificate to be delivered pursuant
to this Agreement shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit X, attached hereto
and made a part hereof, with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this
Agreement.

        3. Exercisability of Warrants. The Warrants shall be exercisable at any
time until 5:30 p.m., New York time, on April 17, 2005.

        4. Procedure for Exercise of Warrants.

<PAGE>   2

        4.1 Cash Exercise. The Warrants are exercisable at an aggregate initial
exercise price per Common Share set forth in Section 7 hereof payable by
certified check or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds. Upon
surrender of a Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase
duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter
defined) for the Warrant Shares purchased, at the Company's principal offices in
Marina Del Rey, California (presently located at 13160 Mindanao Way, Suite 350,
Marina Del Rey, CA 90294) the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate (the
"Holder") shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the Warrant Shares so
purchased. The purchase rights represented by the Warrant Certificate are
exercisable at the option of the Holder thereof, in whole or in part (but not as
to fractional Common Shares underlying the Warrants). In the case of the
purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant
Certificate, the Company shall cancel said Warrant Certificate upon the
surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of
like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder.

        4.2 Cashless Exercise. In addition to the exercise of all or a portion
of the Warrants by the payment of the Exercise Price in cash or check as set
forth in Section 4.1 above, and in lieu of any such payment, the Holder has the
right to exercise the Warrants, in full or in part, by surrendering the Warrant
Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed, in
exchange for the number of Common Shares equal to the product of (x) the number
of Common Shares as to which the Warrants are being exercised multiplied by (y)
a fraction, the numerator of which is the Current Market Price of the Common
Shares (as defined below) less the Exercise Price then in effect and the
denominator of which is the Current Market Price.

        5. Issuance of Certificate. Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the
issuance of a certificate for Warrant Shares (or Other Securities) shall be made
forthwith (and in any event within five (5) business days thereafter) without
charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be
payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificate shall (subject
to the provisions of Sections 6 and 8 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in
such names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in
a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of
such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such
tax has been paid.

        The Warrant Certificate and the certificate representing the Warrant
Shares (or Other Securities) shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the
manual or facsimile signature of the then present Chairman or Vice Chairman of
the Board of Directors or President or any Vice President of the Company under
its corporate seal reproduced thereon, attested to by the manual or facsimile
signature of the then present Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the
Company. The Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of execution by the
Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.

        6. Transfer of Warrants. The Holder of the Warrant Certificate, by its
acceptance thereof,

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

covenants and agrees that the Warrants are being acquired as an investment and
not with a view to the distribution thereof. The Warrants may be sold,
transferred, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in
part, without restriction, subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws.

        7. Exercise Price.

        7.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 9 hereof, the initial exercise price of each Warrant shall be the price
set forth in Section 1 hereof per Warrant Shares issued thereunder. The adjusted
exercise price shall be the price which shall result from time to time from any
and all adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9 hereof.

        7.2 Exercise Price. The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the
initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon the
context.

        8. Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933. The Warrants, the
Warrant Shares and any of the Other Securities issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"). Upon exercise, in whole or in part, of the Warrants, a certificate
representing the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants, and any of the Other
Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the "Warrant
Securities") shall bear the following legend unless such Warrant Shares
previously have been registered under the Act in accordance with the terms
hereof:

        THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
        UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED ("ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE
        OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
        STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, (ii) TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, RULE 144 UNDER
        THE ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER THE ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION
        OF SECURITIES), OR (iii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IF SUCH OPINION SHALL BE
        REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER, THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM
        REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS AVAILABLE.

        9. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise
Price and, in some cases, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of the Warrants, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon
the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 9.

        9.1 Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares and Common Share
Dividend. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common
Shares into a greater number of Common Shares or declare a dividend upon its
Common Shares payable solely in Common Shares, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision or declaration shall be proportionately
reduced, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

shall be proportionately increased. Conversely, in case the outstanding Common
Shares of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of Common Shares,
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants shall be proportionately reduced.

        9.2 Notice of Adjustment. Promptly after adjustment of the Exercise
Price or any increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall give written notice
thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered
holder of this Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of
the Company. The notice shall be signed by the Company's chief financial officer
and shall state (i) the effective date of the adjustment and the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment and (ii) the increase or decrease, if any, in the
number of Common Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based.

        9.3 Other Notices. If at any time:

        (a)    the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common
               Shares;

        (b)    the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Shares
               payable in securities (other than a dividend payable solely in
               Common Shares) or make any special dividend or other distribution
               to the holders of its Common Shares;

        (c)    there shall be any consolidation or merger of the Company with
               another corporation, or a sale of all or substantially all of the
               Company's assets to another corporation; or

        (d)    there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
               liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by certified or
registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered holder of this
Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company, (i)
at least 15 days' prior written notice of the date on which the books of the
Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution
or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up; (ii) at least 10 days' prior written
notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for determining rights to vote in respect of any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, and (iii) in
the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, at least 15 days' written notice
of the date when the same shall take place. Any notice given in accordance with
clause (i) above shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend,
distribution or option rights, the date on which the holders of Common Shares
shall be entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance with clause (iii)
above shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Shares shall be
entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution,

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. If the Holder of the Warrant does
not exercise this Warrant prior to the occurrence of an event described above,
except as provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.4, the Holder shall not be entitled to
receive the benefits accruing to existing holders of the Common Shares in such
event.

        9.4 Changes in Common Shares. In case at any time the Company shall be a
party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or
recapitalization of the Common Shares) in which the previously outstanding
Common Shares shall be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the
Company or common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests
in a non-corporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination
of any of the foregoing (each such transaction being herein called the
"Transaction" and the date of consummation of the Transaction being herein
called the "Consummation Date"), then, as a condition of the consummation of the
Transaction, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made so that the Holder,
upon the exercise hereof at any time on or after the Consummation Date, shall be
entitled to receive, and this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to
receive, in lieu of the Common Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to the
Consummation Date, the highest amount of securities or other property to which
the Holder would actually have been entitled as a holder of an Common Share upon
the consummation of the Transaction if the Holder had exercised such Warrant
immediately prior thereto. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall similarly
apply to successive Transactions.

        10. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificate. The Warrant
Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender thereof by the
registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares in such denominations as
shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.

        Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant Certificate, and, in
case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor, in lieu thereof.

        11. Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be
required to issue certificates representing fractions of Common Shares upon the
exercise of the Warrants, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in
lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all
fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the
nearest whole number of Common Shares or Other Securities.

        12. Reservation of Securities. The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available out of its authorized Common Shares, solely for the purpose
of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of Common Shares or
Other Securities as shall be issuable upon the exercise

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Warrants
and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Common Shares or Other
Securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid, non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any holder of
Common Shares.

        13. Notices to Warrant Holder. Except as otherwise provided in Section
9.4, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon
the Holder by virtue of his holding the Warrant the right to vote or to consent
or to receive notice as a holder of an Common Share in respect of any meetings
of such holders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having
any rights whatsoever as such a holder of the Company.

        14. Notices.

        All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made and sent when
delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested:

               (a) If to the registered Holder of the Warrants, to the address
        of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company; or

               (b) If to the Company, to the address set forth in Section 4
        hereof (with copy to: Latham & Watkins LLP, 633 West Fifth Street, Suite
        4000, Los Angeles, California 90071/Attn. Greg Pettigrew, Esq.) or to
        such other address as the Company may designate by notice to the Holder.

        15. Supplements and Amendments. The Company and Holder may from time to
time supplement or amend this Agreement in order to cure any ambiguity, to
correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any provisions herein, or to make any other provisions in
regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the Company and Holder
may deem necessary or desirable.

        16. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Holder and their
respective successors and assigns hereunder.

        17. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the close of business
on the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Warrants.

        18. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Warrant Certificate issued
hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of
California and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of California without giving effect to the rules of the State of
California governing the conflicts of laws.

        19. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement supersedes any prior
agreements

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including without
limitation, the Letter Agreement, and contains the entire understanding between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be
modified or amended except by a writing duly signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the modification or amendment is sought.

        20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision of this Agreement.

        21. Captions. The caption headings of the Sections of this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and are not intended, nor should they be
construed as, a part of this Agreement and shall be given no substantive effect.

        22. Benefits of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company and Holder
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; and this
Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and Holder.

        23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Warrant
Agreement to be duly executed, as of the day and year first above written.


                                                   Very truly yours,

                         EXERCISABLE FROM APRIL 17, 2000

No. W-LAVA-99-C-1                                                20,000 Warrants


                               WARRANT CERTIFICATE

        This Warrant Certificate certifies that Eric Parsells or his registered
assigns ("Holder"), is the registered holder of 20,000 Warrants to purchase
initially at any time until 5:30 p.m. New York time on April 16, 2005
("Expiration Date"), up to 20,000 fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common
stock, par value $.0001 per share ("Common Shares") of DIGITAL LAVA INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at an initial exercise price, subject to
adjustment in certain events (the "Exercise Price"), equal to $5.875 per Common
Share, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the initial
exercise price at an office or agency of the Company, but subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement dated as of the date
hereof between the Company and Holder (the "Warrant Agreement"). Payment of the
Exercise Price shall be made by certified check or official bank check in New
York Clearing House funds payable to the order of the Company, unless exercise
is made pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Warrant Agreement.

        No Warrant may be exercised after 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the
Expiration Date, at which time all Warrants evidenced hereby, unless exercised
prior thereto, shall thereafter be void.

        The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, which
Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this
instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation
of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company and the
Holder (the word "Holder" meaning the registered holder) of the Warrants.

        The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain
events the Exercise Price and the type and/or number of the Company's securities
issuable thereupon may, subject to

<PAGE>   9

certain conditions, be adjusted. In such event, the Company will, at the request
of the holder, issue a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the adjustment in the
Exercise Price and the number and/or type of securities issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to
issue such new Warrant Certificate shall not in any way change, alter, or
otherwise impair, the rights of the holder as set forth in the Warrant
Agreement.

        Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant
Certificate at an office or agency of the Company, a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant
Certificate, subject to the limitations provided herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, without any charge except for any tax or other governmental charge
imposed in connection with such transfer.

        Upon the exercise of less than all of the Warrants evidenced by this
Certificate, the Company shall forthwith issue to the holder hereof a new
Warrant Certificate representing such number of unexercised Warrants.

        The Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s) hereof as the
absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any
exercise hereof, and of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all
other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

        All terms used in this Warrant Certificate which are defined in the
Warrant Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Warrant
Agreement.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to
be duly executed.
