defined in Section 2.16):

2.1      ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND QUALIFICATION. Each of the Company and
         NTN is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
         standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite
         corporate power and corporate authority to own, lease, license, and
         operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now

         Stock and the Warrants, the shares of Series A Stock issuable upon

         conversion of the Series A Stock (the "CONVERSION SHARES") and to
         perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Related
         Agreements. Each of the Company and NTN is duly qualified to transact
         business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
         failure to so qualify would have a material adverse consequence on the
         business, properties, assets, results of operations, or condition
         (financial or otherwise) of the Company or NTN, each taken as a whole
         (a "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT").

2.2      CAPITALIZATION AND VOTING RIGHTS. The authorized capital of the Company
         consists of or will consist of prior to the Closing:

         2.2.1    PREFERRED STOCK. 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the

                  outstanding, and up to all of which may be sold pursuant to
                  this Agreement. There are no shares of undesignated preferred
                  stock authorized, issued or outstanding immediately prior to
                  Closing.

         2.2.2    COMMON STOCK. 20,000,000 shares of common stock ("COMMON
                  STOCK"), of which 9,978,774 shares are issued and outstanding.
                  The outstanding shares of Common Stock are all owned by NTN,
                  are all duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
                  nonassessable, and were issued in accordance with the
                  registration or qualification provisions of the Securities Act
                  of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), and any relevant
                  state securities laws or pursuant to valid exemptions
                  therefrom.

         2.2.3    OTHER CAPITALIZATION. Except for (A) the conversion privileges
                  of the Preferred Stock, (B) the rights provided in the Related
                  Agreements or (C) the Warrants, there are not outstanding any

                  agreement or agreements for the purchase or acquisition from
                  the Company of any shares of its capital stock or any stock
                  appreciation rights or similar rights. The Company has
                  reserved an additional 120,000 shares of its Common Stock for
                  purchase upon exercise of options to be granted in the future
                  under the Company's 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "OPTION

         the officers, directors and stockholders of the Company and NTN

         and the Conversion Shares and the shares of NTN common stock issuable
         upon the exchange of the Series A Stock (the "NTN SHARES") have been
         taken or will be taken prior to the Closing, and this Agreement and the
         Related Agreements constitute valid and legally binding obligations of
         the Company and NTN, enforceable in accordance with their respective
         terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
         affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited
         by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,

         the indemnification provisions contained in the Investors' Rights
         Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state securities
         laws.

2.5      VALID ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK AND CONVERSION SHARES. The Series A
         Stock that is being purchased by the Investor hereunder, when issued,
         sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
         the Warrant Agreement for the consideration expressed herein and
         therein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
         and will be free of liens, charges, encumbrances and restrictions on
         transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and
         the Exchange Agreement and under applicable state and federal
         securities laws. The shares of Series A Stock issuable upon exercise of
         the Warrants have been duly and validly reserved for issuance. The
         Conversion Shares purchased under this Agreement have been duly and
         validly reserved for issuance and, upon issuance in accordance with the
         terms of the Certificate of Designation, will be duly and validly
         issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be free of liens,
         charges, encumbrances and restrictions on transfer other than
         restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and the Exchange
         Agreement and under applicable state and federal securities laws. NTN
         agrees to keep reserved for issuance at all times the number of shares
         of NTN common stock it reasonably believes that the Company's shares
         held by Investor would be exchangeable into NTN Shares under the
         Exchange Agreement; provided, that if such number of NTN Shares exceeds
         the number of unissued and unreserved shares of NTN common stock, then
         NTN shall reserve for issuance of the NTN Shares the maximum number of
         shares available and NTN shall use its best efforts to obtain
         stockholder approval, if required, to increase the authorized number of
         shares of NTN common stock to a number sufficient to reserve for
         issuance all of the NTN Shares. Upon issuance in accordance with the
         terms of the Exchange Agreement, the NTN Shares will be duly and
         validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be free of liens,
         charges, encumbrances and restrictions on transfer other than
         restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and the Exchange
         Agreement and under applicable state and federal securities laws.

2.6      LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding or
         investigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened
         against the Company or NTN (i) that questions the validity of this
         Agreement and the Related Agreements, (ii) that questions the right of
         the Company or NTN to enter into any of such agreements or to
         consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (iii) to
         the knowledge of the Company or NTN, against any officer, director or
         employee of the Company or NTN in connection with such officer's,
         director's or employee's relationship with, or actions taken on behalf
         of, the Company or NTN, or (iv) that might result, either individually
         or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Effect on the Company or
         NTN. The foregoing includes, but is not limited to, actions pending or
         threatened (or any basis therefor known to the Company or NTN)
         involving prior employment of any of the employees of the Company or
         NTN, their use in connection with the Company's business of any
         information,

         techniques or other know-how allegedly proprietary to any of their
         former employers or other third parties, or their obligations under any
         agreements with any former employers or other third parties. There is
         no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company or NTN
         currently pending or that the Company or NTN intends to initiate.

2.7      PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS. Each of the Company and NTN has sufficient
         title to and ownership of all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
         names, copyrights, trade secrets, and legally-protectable proprietary
         rights and processes necessary for its business as now conducted and as
         proposed to be conducted without any conflict with or infringement of
         the rights of others. There are no outstanding liens, options, licenses
         or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor are the
         Company and NTN bound by or a party to any liens, options, licenses or
         agreements of any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service
         marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information,
         proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity. The
         Company and NTN have not received any communications alleging that the
         Company or NTN has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed,
         would violate, the proprietary or intellectual property rights of any
         other person or entity nor, to the knowledge of the Company and NTN, is
         there any basis therefor. To the knowledge of the Company and NTN,
         there is no violation or infringement by a third party of any of the
         licenses, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade
         secrets or other proprietary rights of the Company and NTN. The
         Company, not NTN nor any third party, owns all of the intellectual
         property related to the trivia libraries in SECTION 2.7 of the Schedule
         of Exceptions.

2.8      COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. Each of the Company and NTN is not,
         and will not by virtue of entering into, delivering, and performing
         this Agreement and the Related Agreements and consummating the
         transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder be (with or without
         the passage of time or giving of notice), in violation or default (i)
         of any provision of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any
         judgment, decree, order, or writ applicable to the Company or NTN, or
         (ii) of any instrument, mortgage, indenture, agreement or contract to
         which it is a party or by which it is bound or (iii) to its knowledge,
         of any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation
         applicable to the Company or NTN, except in the case of (ii) and (iii)
         above for any violation or default that is not and will not, either
         individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the
         Company or NTN. To the knowledge of the Company and NTN, the Company
         and NTN have avoided every condition, and have not performed any act,
         the occurrence of which would result in the loss of any right granted
         under any license, distribution agreement or other agreement of the
         Company or NTN that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a
         Material Adverse Effect on the Company or NTN.

                  restricting or affecting the development, manufacture or
                  distribution of the Company's products or services.

         2.9.3    INDEBTEDNESS. Except as set forth on SECTION 2.9.3 of the
                  Schedule of Exceptions, the Company has not (i) declared or
                  paid any dividends or authorized or made any distribution upon
                  or with respect to any class or series of its capital stock,
                  (ii) incurred any indebtedness for money borrowed or any other
                  liabilities individually in excess of $50,000 or, in the case
                  of indebtedness and/or liabilities individually less than
                  $50,000, in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate, which is
                  currently outstanding, (iii) made any loans or advances to any
                  person (that remain outstanding as of the date hereof), other

                  sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets or
                  rights, other than the sale of its inventory in the ordinary
                  course of business. For purposes of SECTIONS 2.9.2 and 2.9.3,
                  all indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings,
                  instruments, contracts and proposed transactions involving the
                  same person or entity (including persons or entities the
                  Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall
                  be aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual
                  minimum dollar amounts of such Sections.

         2.9.4    LIABILITIES. Except as set forth on SECTION 2.9.4 of the
                  Schedule of Exceptions, to the Company's knowledge, the
                  Company has no material contingent liabilities, except
                  liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business that
                  have not been, either in any individual case or in the
                  aggregate, materially adverse to the Company.

2.10     PERMITS. The Company and NTN have all franchises, permits,
         certificates, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the
         conduct of their businesses as now being conducted by them, the lack of
         which would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and NTN are not
         in default in any material respect under any of such franchises,
         permits, licenses or other similar authority.

2.11     REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Except as provided in the Investors' Rights
         Agreement, the Company has not granted or agreed to grant any
         registration rights, to any person or entity.

2.12     EMPLOYEES. Each employee, officer and consultant of the Company and NTN
         has executed an inventions and confidentiality agreement. No employee,
         officer or consultant of the Company and NTN has excluded work or
         inventions made prior to such person's employment or contracting with
         the Company or NTN from his or her assignment of inventions pursuant to
         such inventions and confidentiality agreement. Each of the Company and
         NTN does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any
         inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information of any such person
         made prior to such person's employment or contracting by the Company or
         NTN, except for inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information
         that have been assigned to the Company or NTN. The Company and NTN are
         not aware that any of their employees, officers or consultants are in
         violation of the confidentiality agreements, and the Company and NTN
         will use reasonable efforts to prevent any violation thereof. Except as
         set forth on SECTION 2.12 of the Schedule of Exceptions, neither the
         Company nor NTN has any employment agreements with any of its
         employees. There is no strike or other labor dispute involving the
         Company or NTN pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company or NTN,
         threatened, that could have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither NTN nor
         the Company has any collective bargaining agreement covering any of its
         employees. To the knowledge of the Company and NTN, no employee of the
         Company or NTN, nor any consultant with whom the Company or NTN has
         contracted, is in material violation of any term of any employment
         contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement,
         license, covenant or commitment of any nature, or any judgment, decree
         or order of any court or

                                       5

         administrative agency, relating to the right of any such individual to
         be employed by, or to contract with, the Company or NTN or would
         because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company or
         NTN, and to the knowledge of the Company and NTN, the continued
         employment by the Company and NTN of their present employees, the
         performance of the Company's and NTN's contracts with its independent
         contractors, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
         Related Agreements will not result in any such violation. Except as set
         forth on SECTION 2.12 of the Schedule of Exceptions, no employee of the
         Company or NTN has been granted the right to continued employment by
         the Company or NTN or to any material compensation following
         termination of employment with the Company or NTN. To the knowledge of
         the Company and NTN, no officer, key employee or group of employees
         intends to terminate his, her or their employment with the Company or
         NTN, and the Company and NTN do not have a present intention to
         terminate the employment of any officer, key employee or group of
         employees.

2.13     OFFERING. Subject to the accuracy of the Investor's representations in
         SECTION 3 and in responses to the Company's inquiries, the offer, sale
         and issuance of the Series A Stock and Warrants to be issued in
         conformity with the terms of this Agreement and the issuance of the
         Conversion Shares constitute transactions exempt from the registration
         requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and will have been
         registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and
         qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification
         requirements of all applicable state securities laws.

2.14     TITLE TO PROPERTY AND ASSETS. Each of the Company and NTN has good and
         marketable title to all of its assets free and clear of all liens and
         encumbrances, except such liens and encumbrances that arise in the
         ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company's
         or NTN's ownership or use of such property or assets. All leases
         pursuant to which the Company or NTN leases real or personal property
         are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms and,
         to the knowledge of the Company and NTN, there exists no default or
         other occurrence or condition that could result in a default or
         termination of any such lease.

2.15     TAXES. Each of the Company and NTN has timely filed, or caused to be
         timely filed, all federal, state and local tax returns for income
         taxes, franchise taxes, sales taxes, withholding taxes, property taxes
         and, to the Company's knowledge, all other taxes of every kind
         whatsoever required by law to be filed, except those being contested in
         good faith and has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate
         for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to
         which such returns apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material
         amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction.
         All such tax returns are complete and accurate and in accordance with
         all legal requirements applicable thereto. To the knowledge of the
         Company and NTN there are no additional tax liabilities, deficiencies
         or proposed adjustments for any period for which any such returns have
         been filed that would have a Material Adverse Effect on either the
         Company or NTN. Each of the Company and NTN has made adequate provision
         for taxes due or accrued as of the date hereof.

2.16     FULL DISCLOSURE. The Company and NTN have provided the Investor with
         all information requested by the Investor in connection with their
         decision to purchase the Series A Stock and the Warrants and have made
         available all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
         required to be filed by NTN with the Securities and Exchange Commission
         (the "SEC") pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "SEC DOCUMENTS"). Neither this
         Agreement, the Related Agreements (and exhibits and schedules thereto),
         the SEC Documents or the documents listed in Section 2.16 of the
         Schedule of Exceptions, which have been delivered or made available by
         the Company and NTN to Investor or its attorneys or agents in
         connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,

                                       6

         when read together, contain any untrue statement of a material fact
         nor, to the Company's knowledge, omit to state a material fact
         necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein
         not misleading.

2.17     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has delivered to Investor an
         unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2001 (the "BALANCE SHEET"). The
         Company has also delivered to Investor an unaudited statement of
         operations for the three month period ending March 31, 2001 and twelve
         month period ending December 31, 2000 (the "STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS"),
         an unaudited statement of cash flows for the three month period ending
         March 31, 2001 and the twelve month period ending December 31, 2000,
         and a financial forecast through May 31, 2002. The Balance Sheet and
         the Statement of Operations fairly present the financial condition and
         operating results of the Company as of that date and for the period
         ended. Except as set forth in the Balance Sheet, the Company has no
         material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, and there has not been
         any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or operating
         results of the Company from that reflected in the Balance Sheet, except
         for (a) liabilities or changes incurred in the ordinary course of
         business that are not, in the aggregate, material to the financial
         condition or operating results of the Company and (b) liabilities owed
         to counsel for fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.18     CORPORATE DOCUMENTS. The certificates of incorporation and bylaws of
         the Company and NTN are in the form made available to the Investor. The
         copy of the minute books of the Company made available to Investor
         contains minutes of all meetings of directors and shareholders and all
         actions by written consent without a meeting by the directors and
         shareholders since the date of incorporation and reflects all actions
         by directors (and any committees thereof) and shareholders with respect
         to all transactions referred to in such minutes accurately in all
         material respects. The Company and NTN have provided Investor with all
         written agreements between the Company and NTN, and such agreements
         have not been amended or modified.

                                   ARTICLE 3
           REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE INVESTORS

         Each Investor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that:

3.1      AUTHORIZATION. The Investor has full power, authority and capacity to
         enter into this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a
         party, and each such agreement constitutes its valid and legally
         binding obligation, enforceable against such Investor in accordance
         with its terms.

3.2      PURCHASE ENTIRELY FOR OWN ACCOUNT. The Series A Stock and the Warrants
         and the Conversion Shares (collectively, the "SECURITIES") to be
         received by Investor will be acquired for investment for Investor's own
         account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale
         or distribution of any part thereof, and that Investor has no present
         intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise
         distributing the same in violation of any applicable federal or any
         applicable state securities laws. The Investor does not have any
         contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to
         sell, transfer or grant participations to such party or to any third
         party with respect to any of the Securities. Investor has not seen or
         received any advertisement or general solicitation with respect to the
         Securities.

3.3      DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Investor believes it has received all the
         information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether
         to purchase the Securities. Investor further represents that it has had
         an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company

                                       7
<PAGE>   12

         regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities
         and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the
         Company.

3.4      INVESTOR CAN PROTECT ITS INTEREST AND BEAR ECONOMIC RISK. Investor is
         an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and
         acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic
         risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in
         financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the
         merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. Investor also
         represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the
         Securities. Investor acknowledges that it must bear the economic risk
         of this investment indefinitely unless the Securities are registered
         pursuant to the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is
         available. Investor also understands that there is no assurance that
         any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will ever be
         available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow
         Investor to transfer all or any portion of the Securities under the
         circumstances, in the amounts or at the times Investor might propose.

3.5      ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Investor is an "accredited investor" within the
         meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as then in effect.

3.6      RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Investor understands that the Securities are
         characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal securities
         laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a
         transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws
         and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without
         registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
         circumstances. In this connection, Investor represents that it is
         familiar with SEC Rule 144, as then in effect, understands the resale
         limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act, and understands
         that the Securities may not currently be resold in reliance upon SEC
         Rule 144.

3.7      FURTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITION. Without in any way limiting the
         representations set forth above, Investor further agrees not to make
         any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, except to an
         affiliate of Investor, unless and until the transferee has agreed in
         writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this SECTION 3
         and by the Investors' Rights Agreement to the extent this SECTION 3 and
         such agreement are then applicable, and:

         (a)      There is then in effect a registration statement under the
                  Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such
                  disposition is made in accordance with such registration
                  statement; or

         (b)      (i) Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed
                  disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a
                  detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the
                  proposed disposition and (ii) if reasonably requested by the
                  Company, Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
                  opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
                  that such disposition will not require registration of such
                  shares under the Securities Act.

3.8      LEGENDS. The certificates evidencing the Securities may bear a legend
         substantially similar to the following:

         (a)      "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN

         the laws of the State of California without regard to laws of the State
         of California directing the application of the laws of another

         and state courts in California.

         permitted) under this Agreement must be in writing and must be
         delivered (i) in person; (ii) by registered or certified mail, postage
         prepaid, return receipt requested; or (iii) by a generally recognized
         courier or messenger service that provides written acknowledgement of
         receipt by the addressee. Notices are deemed delivered when actually
         delivered to the address for notices. Notices must be given to parties
         at the address set forth on the signature page below, although any
         party may furnish, from time to time, other addresses for notices to

6.7      AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and
         the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either
         generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
         prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the
         Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this
         Section shall be binding upon each holder of any Securities purchased
         under this Agreement at the time outstanding, each future holder of all

6.8      SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. The
         invalidity, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Agreement
         will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other of its
         provisions. If one or more provisions hereof will be declared invalid
         or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force
         and effect and will be construed in the broadest possible manner to
         effectuate the purposes hereof. If it is determined by a court of
         competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this
         Section is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or
         unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the
         parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court
         to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of
         that state. The parties further agree to replace such void or
         unenforceable provisions of this Agreement with valid and enforceable
         provisions that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic,
         business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provisions.

6.9      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (together with its Exhibits and other
         documents referred to herein) is the complete and exclusive statement
         of agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to matters
         in this Agreement and is a complete and exclusive statement of the
         terms and conditions thereof. This Agreement replaces and supersedes
         all prior written or oral agreements, statements, correspondence,
         negotiations and understandings by and among the parties with respect
         to the matters covered by it. No representation, statement, condition
         or warranty not contained in this Agreement is binding on the parties.

6.10     FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party agrees to cooperate fully with the other
         parties, to take such actions, to execute such further instruments,
         documents and agreements, and to give such further written assurances,
         as may be reasonably requested by any other party to evidence and
         reflect the transactions described herein and contemplated hereby, and
         to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

6.11     NO PRESUMPTION. The parties acknowledge that each party has been
         represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of
         law, including without limitation Section 1654 of the California Civil
         Code or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any
         claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that drafted it
         has no application and is expressly waived. If any claim is made by a
         party relating to any conflict, omission or ambiguity in the provisions
         of this

                                       11

         Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion will be
         implied because this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of any
         party or its counsel.

6.12     THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Nothing herein expressed or implied is
         intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto and
         their respective successors and permitted assignees, if any, any
         rights, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this
         Agreement.

                                WARRANT AGREEMENT

                  This WARRANT AGREEMENT (the "AGREEMENT") is entered into as of
June 8, 2001 by and between BUZZTIME Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "COMPANY"), and Scientific-Atlanta Strategic Investments, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company (the "INITIAL HOLDER") and an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.

                                   WITNESSETH:

                  WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue to the Initial Holder
warrants ("WARRANTS") to purchase up to 159,236 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock ("SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK") of the Company, as provided herein and in
connection with that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated
as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Initial Holder (the
"PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which the Initial Holder purchased 636,943
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $1.57 per share;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements 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.       Grant.

                  1.1 Grant of Warrants. Subject to the vesting conditions set
forth in Section 1.2, the Initial Holder or its registered assignees are hereby
granted the right to purchase, at any time from and after the date hereof, until
5:00 P.M., California time, on June 8, 2006 (the "WARRANT EXERCISE TERM"), up to
159,236 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "SHARES") at an initial exercise
price of $1.57 per share subject to adjustment as provided in Article 7 hereof
(the "EXERCISE PRICE"). The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the initial
exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon the context.

                  1.2 Vesting of Warrants. Upon execution of an agreement with
each new MSO cable system pursuant to which the Company's content will be
available, whether or not through the Service (as defined in that certain
Development, License and Marketing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof,
between Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. and the Company) and whether or not the MSO
cable system operator is an S-A digital cable system, to the cable system's
end-user through a direct agreement between the Company and the MSO cable system
operator, 10% of the total Shares shall become vested and exercisable; provided
that, the aggregate exercises of this Warrant shall not exceed the total number
of Shares. Shares that have not vested may not be exercised.

         2.       Warrant Certificates.

                  The warrant certificates (the "WARRANT CERTIFICATES")
delivered and to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the form
set forth as Exhibit A and made a part hereof, with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as required or permitted by this
Agreement.

<PAGE>   2

         3.       Exercise of Warrants.

                  Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form
of Election to Purchase duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise
Price for the Shares purchased, at the Company's principal offices located at
5966 La Place Court, Carlsbad, California) the registered holder of a Warrant
Certificate ("HOLDER" or "HOLDERS") shall be entitled to receive a certificate
or certificates for the shares so purchased. Payment of the Exercise Price may
be made, at the option of the Holder by cash, money order, certified or bank
cashier's check or wire transfer. The purchase rights represented by each
Warrant Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder thereof, in
whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock). In the case of the purchase of less than all the shares purchasable
under any Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel said Warrant Certificate
upon the surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant
Certificate for the balance of the shares purchasable thereunder.

         4.       Issuance of Certificates.

                  Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the issuance of
certificates for the Shares shall be made forthwith (and in any event within ten
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 certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Article 5
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 certificates in a name other than that of the Holder
and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
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 Certificates and the certificates representing the
Shares shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile
signature of duly authorized officers of the Company. Warrant Certificates shall
be dated the date of execution by the Company upon initial issuance, division,
exchange, substitution or transfer.

                  The Warrant Certificates and, upon exercise of the Warrants,
in part or in whole, certificates representing the Shares shall bear a legend
substantially similar to the following:

         "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
         1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR
         HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS
         TO SUCH SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY
         TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

         5.       Restriction on Transfer of Warrants.

                  The Holder of a Warrant Certificate, by its acceptance
thereof, covenants and agrees that the Warrants are being acquired as an
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that neither the
Warrants nor the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise
hereof may be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed
of, in whole or in part, unless and until:

                  (a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), covering such
proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such
registration statement; or

                  (b) (i) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if required by
the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not
require registration of such shares under the Securities Act.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b)
above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary
for a transfer by a Holder to an affiliate or by a Holder that is a partnership
to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who
retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired
partner or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to
his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such
partner or his or her spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject
to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were the original Holder
of the transferred Warrant Certificate. The foregoing provisions of this
subsection (c) shall apply to Holders which are limited liability companies and
their members, as if the term "partner" was replaced by the term "member" and
the term "partnership" was replaced with the term "limited liability company" in
each instance.

         6.       Price.

                  6.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial Exercise
Price of each Warrant shall be $1.57 per Share. 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
Article 7 hereof.

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

         7.       Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.

                  The number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

                  7.1 Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time
or from time to time after the date hereof effects a subdivision of the
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

pursuant to a stock split or similar event, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from
time to time after the date hereof combines the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares in a reverse stock split or
similar event, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased. Upon the
adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject to the exercise of the
Warrants shall be adjusted to the nearest full share by multiplying the number
of shares subject to the Warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which
is the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment. Any adjustment under
this Section 7.1 shall be effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective.

                  7.2 Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. In
any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation stock or other
securities of which are at the time receivable upon exercise of the Warrants)
after the date hereof, or in case, after such date, the Company (or any such
other corporation) shall merge into or with or consolidate with another
corporation or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation, then and in each such case, the Holder, upon exercise of a Warrant
at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock
or other securities and property to which such Holder would be entitled had it
exercised a Warrant immediately prior thereto, such stock, securities or other
property which such Holder would have received had it exercised a Warrant
immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of
assets, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Article 7.

         8.       Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates.

                  Each Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon
the surrender thereof by the Holder at the principal executive office of the
Company, for a new Warrant Certificate representing in the aggregate the right
to purchase the same number of 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 and its counsel of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of any Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of
reasonable indemnity and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of the Warrant Certificate, the Company will execute and deliver, in lieu
thereof, a new Warrant Certificate representing the same rights as the lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate.

         9.       Elimination of Fractional Interests.

                  The Company shall not be required to issue certificates
representing fractions of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and shall not 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 to the nearest whole number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

         10.      Reservation of Shares.

                  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available
authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company
covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the
Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon
such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and
not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder.

         11.      Notices.

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

                  (a) If to a 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 3
of this Agreement or to such other address as the Company may designate by
notice to the Holders.

         12.      Waiver; Amendments.

                  Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge
or termination is sought.

         13.      Successors.

                  All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for
the benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns hereunder.

         14.      Governing Law.

                  This Agreement and each 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 said
State.

         15.      Benefits of This Agreement.

                  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any
person or corporation other than the Company and the Holders 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 the Holders.

No. WA-1                                                        159,236 Warrants

                               WARRANT CERTIFICATE

                  This Warrant Certificate certifies that Scientific-Atlanta
Strategic Investments, L.L.C. or registered assigns, is the registered holder of
159,236 Warrants to purchase up to 159,236 shares of fully-paid and
non-assessable Series A Preferred Stock ("SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK"), of
BUZZTIME Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), at the
initial exercise price, subject to adjustment in certain events (the "EXERCISE
PRICE"), of $1.57 per share upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and
payment of the Exercise Price at an office or agency of the Company, but subject
to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement dated as of June 8, 2001
between the Company and Scientific-Atlanta Strategic Investments, L.L.C. (the
"WARRANT AGREEMENT").

                  This Warrant shall be exercisable for only for a number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and at the Exercise Price that have vested in
accordance with the Warrant Agreement. No Warrant may be exercised after 5:00
P.M., California time, on June 8, 2006, 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

<PAGE>   9

in a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company and the holders of the Warrants.

                  The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of
certain events, the Exercise Price and/or number of the Company's securities
issuable thereupon may, subject to 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 Certificates
shall not in any way change, alter, or otherwise impair, the rights of the
holder as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

                  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 meaning assigned to them in the Warrant
Agreement. All rights evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are subject to the
terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement. In the event of any conflict
between the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement and the terms and
conditions of this Warrant Certificate, the terms and conditions of the Warrant
Agreement shall govern and control. Copies of the Warrant Agreement may be
obtained from the offices of the Company.
