                          AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY

      AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY (this "Guaranty"), dated as of April 28,
2004, made by each of the subsidiaries of MediaBay, Inc., a Florida corporation
(the "Company") listed on the signature pages hereof, and the Additional
Guarantors (as defined in Section 9(b)) (such subsidiaries so listed and the
Additional Guarantors being, each, a "Guarantor", and collectively, the
"Guarantors") in favor of the Holder (as defined in the Note referred to below
(the Company and the Guarantors, being each, a "Loan Party", and collectively
the "Loan Parties")).

                                   BACKGROUND

      A. The Company issued to Huntingdon Corporation, a Florida corporation
("Huntingdon") its: (i) Secured Subordinated Promissory Note dated May 14, 2001,
in the principal amount of $800,000 (the "Advance Note"); and (ii) Senior
Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $2,500,000 dated May 14, 2001
(the Advance Note and each other note as each may hereafter be amended,
extended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified, from time to time,
being collectively referred to herein as, the "Notes"). Capitalized terms used,
and not otherwise defined herein, having the meanings ascribed to them in the
Notes. To induce Huntington Corporation to purchase the Notes, and as a
condition precedent thereto, each Guarantor delivered to Huntington a Guaranty
dated April 30, 2002, as amended ("Existing Guaranty").

      B. The parties now desire to amend and restate, in its entirety, the
Existing Guaranty.

      NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing Background incorporated by reference,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, each Guarantor
hereby agrees as follows:

SECTION I. Guaranty, Limitation of Liability.

      1.1. Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to the Holder the punctual payment when due, whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company
or any other Loan Party to the Holder now or hereafter existing under the Notes
or this Guaranty or any Guaranty Supplement (the "Loan Documents"), whether for
principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the
"Guaranteed Obligation"), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Holder in enforcing any
rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Guarantor's liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of
the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company or any other Loan
Party to the Holder under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Company.

<PAGE>


      1.2. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Holder,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that this Guaranty
not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any
Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law which may be
applicable to this Guaranty. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holder,
by its acceptance hereof, and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such
laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive
contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Guaranty, result
in the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, "Bankruptcy Law" means
Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar federal or state law for the relief of
debtors.

SECTION II. Guaranty Absolute.

      Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any
law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Holder with respect thereto.
The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Loan Party under
the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of
whether any action is brought against the Company or any other Loan Party or
whether the Company or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or
actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be
irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and each Guarantor
hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way
relating to, any or all of the following:

      2.1. any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto;

      2.2. any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations
of any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents, or any amendment or waiver of
or any consent to departure from any Loan Document;

      2.3. any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or
any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

      2.4. any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition
of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
obligations of any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets
of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries;

      2.5. any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure
or existence of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries;

      2.6. any failure of any Holder to disclose to the Company or any Guarantor
any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or
prospects of any other Loan Party now or in the future known to any Holder (each
Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Holder to disclose such
information); or


                                       2
<PAGE>

      2.7. any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of
limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any other
Holder that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge
of, the Company, such Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety.

      This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be refused by any Holder or any other person upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any other Loan
Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION III. Subordination

      Reserved.

SECTION IV. Waivers and Acknowledgements.

      4.1. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of
acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any other Holder protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust
any right or take any action against the Company, any Guarantor or any other
person or any collateral securing the Obligations under the Loan Documents.

      4.2. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and
acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all
Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

      4.3. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive material and
substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in this
Section 4 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION V. Subrogation.

      None of the Guarantors will exercise any rights it may now or hereafter
acquire against the Company or any other guarantor that arise from the
existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any such Guarantor's
obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution
or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the
Holder against the Company or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or
not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or
common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the
Company or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of
such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations
and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been indefeasibly
paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of
the preceding sentence at any time prior to the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holder and
shall forthwith be paid to the Holder to be credited and applied to the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other
amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall be
indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the Holder will promptly, at such Guarantor's
request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate
documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the
Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

SECTION VI. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc.

      6.1. Any and all payments made by a Guarantor hereunder shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
levies, imposes, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of
payments under the Notes ("Taxes"). If any Guarantor shall be required by law to
deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Holder,
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) the Holder (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law.

      6.2. In addition, each Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future Other
Taxes (as defined below).

      6.3. "Other Taxes" shall mean stamp, documentary, excise, property or
similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or
under the Notes from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing

      6.4. Each Guarantor will indemnify the Holder for the full amount of Taxes
or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) imposed on or paid by
the Holder and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties,
additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, except with respect to the Holder, for such a liability arising from
the Holder's willful misconduct or gross negligence. This indemnification shall
be made within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Holder makes written
demand specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor.

      6.5. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes by or
on behalf of a Guarantor, such Guarantor will furnish to the Holder, at its
address referred to in Section 9.1 of the Note, the original receipt of payment
thereof or a certified copy of such receipt. In the case of any payment
hereunder by or on behalf of a Guarantor through an account or branch outside
the United States or by or on behalf of such Guarantor by a payor that is not a
United States person, if such Guarantor determines that no Taxes are payable in
respect thereof, such Guarantor shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to
furnish, to the Holder, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Holder stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this
subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms "United States" and "United States
person" shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal
Revenue Code.

      6.6. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of each

obligations of each Guarantor contained in this Section 6 shall survive the
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable
under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.
