                  AGREEMENT FOR CHAIRMAN OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective as of June 6, 2001
(the "Effective Date"), by and between BAM! Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, ("Company") and Robert Holmes, an individual ("Director").

        1. Term.

               (a) This Agreement shall continue for a period of one (1) year
from the Effective Date and shall continue thereafter for as long as Director is
elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors ("Chairman") of Company.

               (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided that Director has
neither voluntarily resigned nor been terminated for "cause" as defined in
Section 3(b) of this Agreement, Company agrees to use its best efforts to
reelect Director to the Board for a period of three (3) years at the 2001 Annual
Meeting of the Shareholders.

        2. Position and Responsibilities.

               (a) Position. Company hereby retains Director to serve as
Chairman of the Board of Directors. Director shall perform such duties and
responsibilities as are normally related to such position in accordance with
Company's bylaws and applicable law, including those services described on
Exhibit A, (the "Services"), and Director hereby agrees to use his best efforts
to provide the Services. Director shall not allow any other person or entity to
perform any of the Services for or instead of Director. Director shall comply
with the statutes, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority, which are applicable to the performance of the
Services, and Company's rules, regulations, and practices as they may from
time-to-time be adopted or modified.

               (b) Other Activities. Director may be employed by another
company, may serve on other Boards of Directors or Advisory Boards, and may
engage in any other business activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary
advantage), as long as such outside activities do not violate Director's
obligations under this Agreement or Director's fiduciary obligations to the
shareholders, except as set forth in Exhibit B. The ownership of less than a 5%
interest in an entity, by itself, shall not constitute a violation of this duty.
Except as set forth in Exhibit B, Director represents that, to the best of his
knowledge, Director has no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in
conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, and Director agrees to
use his best efforts to avoid or minimize any such conflict and agrees not to
enter into any agreement or obligation that could create such a conflict,
without the approval of the Chief Executive Officer or a majority of the Board
of Directors. If, at any time, Director is required to make any disclosure or
take any action that may conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement,
Director will promptly notify the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of such
obligation, prior to making such disclosure or taking such action.

               (c) No Conflict. Except as set forth in Section 2(b) and Exhibit
B, Director will not engage in any activity that creates an actual conflict of
interest with Company, regardless of whether such activity is prohibited by
Company's conflict of interest guidelines or this Agreement, and Director agrees
to notify the Board of Directors before engaging in any activity that creates a
potential conflict of interest with Company. Specifically and except as set
forth in Section 2(b) and Exhibit B of this Agreement, Director shall not engage
in any activity that is in direct competition with the Company or serve in any
capacity (including, but not limited to, as an employee, consultant, advisor or
director) in any company or entity that competes directly with the Company, as
reasonably determined by a majority of Company's disinterested board members,
without the approval of the Chief Executive Officer.

        3. Compensation and Benefits.

               (a) Director's Fee. In consideration of the services to be
rendered under this Agreement, Company shall pay Director a fee at the rate of
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per year, which shall be paid in
accordance with Company's regularly established practices regarding the payment
of Directors' fees, but in no event later than 12 months after the Effective
Date of this Agreement and each of its subsequent anniversaries, if any.

               (b) Stock and Stock Options. Company acknowledges that Director
is an owner of both Common and Preferred Stock and holds an option to purchase
stock in Company, and that the rights attributable to these securities (the
"Securities") shall not be affected by the execution of this Agreement. In
addition, in consideration of the services to be rendered under this Agreement,
Company agrees to grant Director the following two stock options subject to the
approval of the Board of Directors (the "Options"): (1) an option to purchase
10,000 shares of Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $22.53 per share
(the fair market value of Company's Common Stock on the Effective Date), which
shall be fully vested on the Effective Date; and (2) an option to purchase
10,000 shares of Company's Common Stock, which shall have an exercise price
equal to 100% of the price charged pursuant to Company's Initial Public Offering
("IPO"), unless the IPO has not occurred by December 31, 2001, in which case,
the exercise price shall be 100% of the fair market value of Company's Common
Stock on such date, and which options shall be fully vested commencing upon the
earlier of the date of Company's IPO or December 31, 2001. In the event (i) of a
merger, change in control or sale of Company or (ii) Director either is
terminated as a board member or is not reelected, where the Director has not
engaged in conduct during his tenure on the board which would constitute "cause"
for such termination, as determined by a majority vote of the disinterested
board members, the Shares immediately shall become fully vested. "Cause" means a
determination by a majority of the disinterested board members that the Director
has been engaged in any of the following: (i) malfeasance in office; (ii) gross
misconduct or neglect; (iii) false or fraudulent misrepresentation inducing
Director's appointment; (iv) willful conversion of corporate funds; (v) material
breach of an obligation to make full disclosure; (vi) gross incompetence; (vii)
gross inefficiency; (viii) acts of moral turpitude; or (ix) repeated failure to
participate (either by telephone or in person) board meetings on a regular basis
despite having received proper notice of the meetings at least 48 hours in
advance thereof. The removal of Director as Chairman, by itself, shall not
affect the vesting schedule. The Options shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of Company's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and Company's
standard Stock Option

                                       2

Agreement, as modified by this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement,
Director may be granted additional stock options or other equity rights, as
determined by Company's Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion.

               (c) Benefits. Company will provide Director and his domestic
partner with medical, dental, eye-care, disability and life insurance benefits
in accordance with the benefit plans established by Company for its senior
executives (as may be amended from time to time in Company's sole discretion) to
the extent allowed under the terms of such plans and will pay all premiums for
coverage of Director and his family, including his domestic partner. Director
shall also be eligible to participate in any additional benefits made generally
available by Company to its senior executives, to the extent allowed by the
benefit plans established by Company, which may be amended or terminated at any
time in Company's sole discretion; except that Director shall not be entitled to
any paid vacation leave.

               (d) Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Director for all
reasonable business expenses incurred in the performance of his duties hereunder
in accordance with Company's expense reimbursement guidelines.

               (e) Indemnification. Company will indemnify and defend Director
against any liability incurred in the performance of the Services to the fullest
extent authorized in Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, bylaws,
as amended, and applicable law. Company has purchased Director's and Officer's
liability insurance, and Director shall be entitled to the protection of any
insurance policies the Company maintains for the benefit of its Directors and
Officers against all costs, charges and expenses in connection with any action,
suit or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his affiliation
with Company, its subsidiaries, or affiliates.

               (f) Records. Director shall have reasonable access to books and
records of Company, as necessary to enable Director to fulfill his obligations
as a Director of Company.

        4. Termination.

               (a) Right to Terminate. At any time, Director may be removed as
Chairman as provided in Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
bylaws, as amended, and applicable law. Director may resign as Chairman or
Director as provided in Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
bylaws, as amended, and applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in or arising from this Agreement or any statements, policies, or
practices of Company, neither Director nor Company shall be required to provide
any advance notice or any reason or cause for termination of Director's status
as Chairman, except as provided in Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, Company's bylaws, as amended, and applicable law.

               (b) Effect of Termination as Chairman. Upon a termination of
Director's status as Chairman, in which Director remains a Director, this
Agreement will terminate, and the Company and Director will sign the Company's
standard Director's Agreement, in effect at the time of the termination, subject
to any modifications to which both parties mutually agree; provided, however,
following such termination and for as long as Director continues to serve as a
Director of the Company, the Company will continue to provide Director and his
domestic partner with medical, dental and eye-care benefits provided by Section
3(c) and will pay all

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

premiums for coverage of Director and his family, including his domestic partner
under such benefit plans as provided in Section 3(c) to the extent allowed under
applicable law. Except as provided herein, the Company shall pay to Director all
compensation and benefits to which Director is entitled up through the date of
termination, and thereafter, all of the Company's obligations under this
Agreement shall cease, except as provided in Sections 1(b), 3(b), 3(d), 3(e),
and 5.

               (c) Effect of Termination as Director. Upon a termination of
Director's status as a Director, this Agreement will terminate; Company shall
pay to Director all compensation and benefits to which Director is entitled up
through the date of termination; and Director shall be entitled to his rights
under COBRA, HIPPA, and any other applicable law. Thereafter, all of Company's
obligations under this Agreement shall cease, except as provided in Sections
1(b), 3(b), 3(d), 3(e) and 5.

        5. Termination Obligations.

               (a) Director agrees that all property, including, without
limitation, all equipment, tangible proprietary information, documents, records,
notes, contracts, and computer-generated materials provided to or prepared by
Director incident to his services belong to Company and shall be promptly
returned at the request of Company.

               (b) Upon termination of this Agreement, Director shall be deemed
to have resigned from all offices then held with Company by virtue of his
position as Chairman, except that Director shall continue to serve as a director
if elected as a director by the shareholders of Company as provided in Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, Company's bylaws, as amended, and
applicable law. Director agrees that following any termination of this
Agreement, he shall cooperate with Company in the winding up or transferring to
other directors of any pending work and shall also cooperate with Company (to
the extent allowed by law, and at Company's expense) in the defense of any
action brought by any third party against Company that relates to the Services.

               (c) The Company and Director agree that their obligations under
this Section, as well as Sections 1(b), 3(b), 3(d), 3(e), 4(b), 4(c) and 7,
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

        6. Nondisclosure Obligations. Director shall maintain in confidence and
shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or use, either during or after the
term of this Agreement, any Proprietary Information (as defined below),
confidential information, or trade secrets belonging to Company, whether or not
it is in written or permanent form, except to the extent necessary to perform
the Services, as required by a lawful government order or subpoena, or as
authorized in writing by Company. These nondisclosure obligations also apply to
Proprietary Information belonging to customers and suppliers of Company, and
other third parties, learned by Director as a result of performing the Services.
"Proprietary Information" means all information pertaining in any manner to the
business of Company, unless (i) the information is or becomes publicly known
through lawful means; (ii) the information was part of Director's general
knowledge prior to his

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

relationship with Company; or (iii) the information is disclosed to Director
without restriction by a third party who rightfully possesses the information
and did not learn of it from Company.

        7. Dispute Resolution.

               (a) Jurisdiction and Venue. The parties agree that any suit,
action, or proceeding between Director (and his attorneys, successors, and
assigns) and Company (and its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers,
employees, members, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating to the
Services or the termination of those Services shall be brought in either the
United States District Court for the Northern District of California or in a
California state court in the County of Santa Clara and that the parties shall
submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may have to the laying
of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. If any
one or more provisions of this Section shall for any reason be held invalid or
unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions
shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application
valid and enforceable.

               (b) Attorneys' Fees. Should any litigation, arbitration or other
proceeding be commenced between the parties concerning the rights or obligations
of the parties under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such proceeding
shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a
reasonable sum as and for its attorneys' fees in such proceeding. This amount
shall be determined by the court in such proceeding or in a separate action
brought for that purpose. In addition to any amount received as attorneys' fees,
the prevailing party also shall be entitled to receive from the party held to be
liable, an amount equal to the attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing
any judgment against such party. This Section is severable from the other
provisions of this Agreement and survives any judgment and is not deemed merged
into any judgment.

        8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended to be the final,
complete, and exclusive statement of the terms of Director's relationship solely
with respect to his position as Chairman with Company. This Agreement entirely
supercedes and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or
contemporaneous statements or agreements pertaining to Director's relationship
as Chairman or Director. Agreements related to Director's ownership of the
Securities are not affected by this Agreement.

        9. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by a
writing signed by Director and by a duly authorized representative of the
Company other than Director. Failure to exercise any right under this Agreement
shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

        10. Assignment. Director agrees that Director will not assign any rights
or obligations under this Agreement, with the exception of Director's ability to
assign rights with respect to the Securities. Nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent the consolidation, merger or sale of Company or a sale of all or
substantially all of its assets.

        11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a
court or arbitrator to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, such provision shall
be enforced to fullest extent

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

permitted by law, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect. In the event that the time period or scope of any provision is
declared by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to exceed the
maximum time period or scope that such court or arbitrator deems enforceable,
then such court or arbitrator shall reduce the time period or scope to the
maximum time period or scope permitted by law.

        12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.

        13. Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole,
according to its fair meaning, and not in favor of or against any party.
Captions are used for reference purposes only and should be ignored in the
interpretation of the Agreement.

        14. Binding Agreement. Each party represents and warrants to the other
that the person(s) signing this Agreement below has authority to bind the party
to this Agreement and that this Agreement will legally bind both Company and
Director. This Agreement will be binding upon and benefit the parties and their
heirs, administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns. To the
extent that the practices, policies, or procedures of Company, now or in the
future, are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Agreement shall control. Any subsequent change in Director's duties or
compensation as Chairman will not affect the validity or scope of the remainder
of this Agreement.

        15. Director Acknowledgment. Director acknowledges Director has had the
opportunity to consult legal counsel concerning this Agreement, that Director
has read and understands the Agreement, that Director is fully aware of its
legal effect, and that Director has entered into it freely based on his own
judgment and not on any representations or promises other than those contained

        16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                        2001 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

This 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") of BAM! Entertainment, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), was adopted by the Board of Directors
and shareholders of the Company as of August 9, 2001.

1.      Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company
        and its Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common
        Stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions. It is the
        intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an "Employee Stock
        Purchase Plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
        as amended. The provisions of the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed
        so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the
        requirements of that section of the Code.

2.      Definitions.

        (a) "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

        employment with the Company is at least twenty (20) hours per week and

        Plan, the employment relationship shall be treated as continuing intact
        while the individual is on sick leave or other leave of absence approved
        by the Company. Where the period of leave exceeds 90 days and the
        individual's right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute
        or by contract, the employment relationship shall be deemed to have
        terminated on the 91st day of such leave.

        Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) to the extent
        that, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person
        whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section
        424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold
        outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%)
        or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of
        the capital stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or (ii) to the
        extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock
        purchase plans of the Company and its subsidiaries accrues at a rate
        which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock
        (determined at the fair market value of the shares at the time such
        option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is
        outstanding at any time.

4.      Offering Periods.

        (a) The first Offering Period under the Plan shall commence on the first
        Trading Day on or after the date on which the Securities and Exchange
        Commission declares the Company's Registration Statement effective and
        ending on the last Trading Day on or before December 31, 2001, and the
        Plan shall continue to be implemented with consecutive, non-overlapping
        Offering Periods that are exclusively six (6) months in duration,
        commencing on the first Trading Day on or after May 31 and November 30
        of each year thereafter, or on such other date as the Board shall
        determine, and continuing thereafter until terminated in accordance with
        Section 20 hereof.

        (b) The Board shall have the power to change the duration of Offering
        Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to
        future offerings without stockholder approval if such change is
        announced at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the
        first Offering Period to be affected thereafter.

5.      Participation.

        (a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by
        completing a

                                      -3-

<PAGE>   4
        subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form of
        Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the Company's payroll office
        not later than two (2) weeks prior to the applicable Enrollment Date.
        Eligible employees who begin employment with the Company within two
        weeks of an Enrollment Date may file a subscription agreement with the
        Company's payroll office up to one day prior to the applicable
        Enrollment Date. With respect to the first Enrollment Date, eligible
        Employees may file a subscription agreement up to one day prior to the
        Enrollment Date. An eligible Employee may participate in only one
        Offering Period at a time.

        (b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first
        payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll
        in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless
        sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

6.      Payroll Deductions.

        (a) At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement,
        he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day
        during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 15% of the
        Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the
        Offering Period. The maximum calendar year contribution shall not exceed
        $25,000 worth of stock (determined at the fair market value of the
        shares at the time such option is granted).

        (b) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to
        his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole
        percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments
        into such account.

        (c) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan
        as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may decrease the rate of his or her
        payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing
        with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in
        payroll deduction rate. The Board may, in its discretion, limit the
        number of participation rate changes during any Offering Period. The
        change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period
        following five (5) business days after the Company's receipt of the new
        subscription agreement unless the Company elects to process a given
        change in participation more quickly. A participant's subscription
        agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless
        terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

        (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply
        with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a
        participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%)
        at any time during a Purchase Period. Payroll deductions shall
        recommence at the rate provided in such participant's subscription
        agreement at the beginning of the first Purchase Period which is
        scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by
        the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

        (e) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the
        time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan is
        disposed of, the participant

                                      -4-

<PAGE>   5
        must make adequate provision for the Company's federal, state, or other
        tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of
        the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the
        Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the
        participant's compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet
        applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required
        to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits
        attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the
        Employee.

7.      Grant of Option. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each
        eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted
        an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period
        (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the
        Company's Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll
        deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the
        Participant's account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase
        Price; provided that in no event shall an Employee be permitted to
        purchase during each Offering Period more than a number of Shares
        determined by dividing $25,000 by the Fair Market Value of a share of
        the Company's Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to
        Section 19) on the Enrollment Date, and provided further that such
        purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b)
        and 12 hereof. The Board may, for future Offering Periods and in its
        absolute discretion, set a maximum number of shares of the Company's
        Common Stock an Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period of
        such Offering Period and increase or decrease such maximum. Exercise of
        the option shall occur as provided in Section 8 hereof, unless the
        participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof. The option
        shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

8.      Exercise of Option.

        (a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section
        10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be
        exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of
        full shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at
        the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in
        his or her account. No fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll
        deductions accumulated in a participant's account which are not
        sufficient to purchase a full share shall be retained in the
        participant's account for the subsequent Purchase Period or Offering
        Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in
        Section 10 hereof. During a participant's lifetime, a participant's
        option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

        (b) If the Board determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number
        of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed
        (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale
        under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period,
        or (ii) the number of shares available for sale under the Plan on such
        Exercise Date, the Board may in its sole discretion (x) provide that the
        Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock
        available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as
        applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it
        shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all

                                      -5-

<PAGE>   6
        participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such
        Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y)
        provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares
        available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as
        applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it
        shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all
        participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such
        Exercise Date, and terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect
        pursuant to Section 20 hereof. The Company may make pro rata allocation
        of the shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable
        Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any
        authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the
        Company's stockholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date.

9.      Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a
        purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery,
        either electronically or manually, to each participant, as appropriate,
        or to a designated broker as chosen by the Company in its discretion, of
        a certificate representing the shares purchased upon exercise of his or
        her option.

10.     Withdrawal.

        (a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll
        deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise
        his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to
        the Company in the form of Exhibit B to this Plan. All of the
        participant's payroll deductions credited to his or her account shall be
        paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal
        and such participant's option for the Offering Period shall be
        automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the
        purchase of shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a
        participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall
        not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the
        participant delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.

        (b) A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have
        any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar
        plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding
        Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering
        Period from which the participant withdraws.

11.     Termination of Employment.

        Upon a participant's ceasing to be an Employee, for any reason, he or
        she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the
        payroll deductions credited to such participant's account during the
        Offering Period, but not yet used to exercise the option, shall be
        returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the
        person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, and such
        participant's option shall be automatically terminated. The preceding
        sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives payment in lieu of
        notice of termination of employment shall be treated as continuing to be
        an Employee for the participant's customary number of hours per week of
        employment during the period in which the participant is subject to such
        payment in

                                      -6-

<PAGE>   7
        lieu of notice.

12.     Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
        participant in the Plan.

13.     Stock.

        (a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company
        as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of the
        Company's Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the
        Plan shall be 150,000 shares.

        (b) The participant shall have no interest or voting right in shares
        covered by his option until such option has been exercised.

        (c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan shall be
        registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the
        participant and his or her spouse.

14.     Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
        committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board. The Board or
        its committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to
        construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine
        eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan.
        Every finding, decision and determination made by the Board or its
        committee shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and
        binding upon all parties.

15.     Designation of Beneficiary.

        (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is
        to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account
        under the Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to an
        Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to
        such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may
        file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash
        from the participant's account under the Plan in the event of such
        participant's death prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is
        married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal
        consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.

        (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at
        any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant
        and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan
        who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
        deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the
        estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has
        been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its
        discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any
        one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse,
        dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person
        as the Company may designate.

16.     Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant's
        account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to
        receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
        otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the

                                      -7-

<PAGE>   8
        laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by
        the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or
        other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may
        treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period
        in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

17.     Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company
        under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and
        the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

18.     Reports. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant in
        the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating
        Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the
        amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares
        purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

19.     Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation,
        Merger or Asset Sale.

        (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
        stockholders of the Company, the Reserves, the maximum number of shares
        each participant may purchase each Purchase Period (pursuant to Section
        7), as well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common
        Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been
        exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease
        in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock
        split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
        reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease
        in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
        consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
        convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been
        "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be
        made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final,
        binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance
        by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
        convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
        adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number
        or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.

        (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution
        or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress
        shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise
        Date"), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
        such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by
        the Board. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the
        Company's proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Board shall notify
        each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to
        the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant's
        option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the
        participant's option shall be exercised automatically on the New
        Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn
        from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

        (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or
        substantially all of

                                      -8-

<PAGE>   9
        the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into
        another corporation, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an
        equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent
        or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the
        successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option,
        any Purchase Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a
        new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date") and any Offering Periods
        then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise
        Date shall be before the date of the Company's proposed sale or merger.
        The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10)
        business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for
        the participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and
        that the participant's option shall be exercised automatically on the
        New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has
        withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

20.     Amendment or Termination.

        (a) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and for any
        reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19
        hereof, no such termination can affect options previously granted,
        provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of
        Directors on any Exercise Date if the Board determines that the
        termination of the Offering Period or the Plan is in the best interests
        of the Company and its stockholders. Except as provided in Section 19
        and this Section 20 hereof, no amendment may make any change in any
        option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any
        participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the
        Code (or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law,
        regulation or stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain stockholder
        approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

        (b) Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any
        participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected,"
        the Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering
        Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount
        withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio
        applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars,
        permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a
        participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's
        processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish
        reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and
        crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase
        of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts
        withheld from the participant's Compensation, and establish such other
        limitations or procedures as the Board (or its committee) determines in
        its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan.

        (c) In the event the Board determines that the ongoing operation of the
        Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the
        Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable,
        modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting
        consequence including, but not limited to:

                (1) altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period
                including an Offering

                                      -9-

<PAGE>   10
                Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price;

                (2) shortening any Offering Period so that Offering Period ends
                on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at
                the time of the Board action; and

                (3) allocating shares.

        Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval
        or the consent of any Plan participants.

21.     Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the
        Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have
        been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at
        the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the
        receipt thereof.

22.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with
        respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance
        and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
        applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without
        limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities
        Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated
        thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the
        shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval
        of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

        As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the
        person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of
        any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for
        investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
        shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
        representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable
        provisions of law.

23.     Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur
        of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the

1.      ___________________________ hereby elects to participate in the BAM!
Entertainment, Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Employee Stock
Purchase Plan") and subscribes to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock
in accordance with this Subscription Agreement and the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan.

2.      I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount
of __% of my Compensation on each payday (from 1 to 15%) during the Offering
Period in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. (Please note that no
fractional percentages are permitted.)

3.      I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for the
purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Purchase Price determined
in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. I understand that if I do
not withdraw from an Offering Period, any accumulated payroll deductions will be
used to automatically exercise my option.

4.      I have received a copy of the complete Employee Stock Purchase Plan. I
understand that my participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is in all
respects subject to the terms of the Plan. I understand that my ability to
exercise the option under this Subscription Agreement is subject to stockholder
approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

5.      Shares purchased for me under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan should be
issued in the name(s) of (Employee or Employee and Spouse only): ______________.

6.      I understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant to
the Plan within 2 years after the Enrollment Date (the first day of the Offering
Period during which I purchased such shares) or 1 year after the Exercise Date,
I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary
income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the
fair market value of the shares at the time such shares were purchased by me
over the price which I paid for the shares. I hereby agree to notify the Company
in writing within 30 days after the date of any disposition of my shares and I
will make adequate provision for Federal, state or

<PAGE>   12
other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the disposition of
the Common Stock. The Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from
my compensation the amount necessary to meet any applicable withholding
obligation including any withholding necessary to make available to the Company
any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
Common Stock by me. If I dispose of such shares at any time after the expiration
of the 2-year and 1-year holding periods, I understand that I will be treated
for federal income tax purposes as having received income only at the time of
such disposition, and that such income will be taxed as ordinary income only to
the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market
value of the shares at the time of such disposition over the purchase price
which I paid for the shares, or (2) 15% of the fair market value of the shares
on the first day of the Offering Period. The remainder of the gain, if any,
recognized on such disposition will be taxed as capital gain.

7. I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent upon my
eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

8. In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following as my
beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments and shares due me under the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan:
