Internet Sports Network, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), for
value received, promises to pay to the order of SportsLine.com, Inc., Delaware
corporation ("SportsLine"), or its permitted assigns (SportsLine or such
permitted assigns, the "Holder"), the sum of FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
($5,000,000.00), plus simple interest thereon from the Date of Issuance until
paid at an annual interest rate, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year,
equal to 5%. The principal hereof, and the interest thereon, shall be payable
by mail to the registered address of the Holder on the date (the "Maturity
Date") which is the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the
Promotion Agreement) of the Promotion Agreement; provided, however, that if the
Promotion Agreement is terminated by SportsLine pursuant to Section 19(a) of
the Promotion Agreement (material breach by the Company) or Section 19(b) of

Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 8 hereof.
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the
conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by the
acceptance of this Note, agrees:
SECTION 1. CONVERSION OF NOTE.
1A. CONVERSION. So long as this Note is outstanding (the "Exercise
Period") at any time and from time to time, the Holder may convert all or any
portion of the outstanding principal hereof and unpaid interest thereon (the
"Debt"), and upon the occurrence of a Qualified Public Offering all of the Debt
shall be automatically converted into, a number of shares of Conversion
Stock (including any fraction of a share) computed by dividing the portion of
the Debt to be converted by the Conversion Price then in effect. At the time of
any conversion of the Debt or a portion thereof, the rights of the Holder with
respect to such portion of the Debt so converted shall cease and the Holder so
converting shall be deemed to have become the record holder of the shares of
Conversion Stock issuable upon such conversion.
1B. CONVERSION PROCEDURE. (i) Except as otherwise provided herein, each
conversion of the Debt or a portion thereof shall be deemed to have occurred
when all of the following items have been delivered to the Company during the
Exercise Period (the "Conversion Time"):
(a) a completed Conversion Agreement, as described in Section 1C below,
executed by the Holder;
(b) this Note; and
(c) if the Holder is not SportsLine, an Assignment or Assignments in the
form set forth in Exhibit II hereto evidencing the assignment of this Note to
the Holder;
(ii) Certificates for shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of
such conversion shall be delivered by the Company to the Holder within three
days after the date of the Conversion Time together with any cash payable in
lieu of a fraction of a share pursuant to Section 13 hereof. Unless this Note
has been paid or converted in full, the Company shall prepare a new Note,
substantially identical hereto, representing the portion of the Debt not being
converted or paid and shall, within such three-day period, deliver such new
Note to the Person designated for delivery in the Conversion Agreement.
(iii) The shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
Debt or a portion thereof shall be deemed to have been issued to the Holder at
the Conversion Time, and the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have
become the registered holder of such shares at the Conversion Time.
(iv) The issuance of certificates for shares of Conversion Stock shall be
made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof or
other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such conversion and the
related issuance of such shares (other than transfer or other applicable taxes
payable because the Holder is other than SportsLine).
(v) The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of this
Note or of any shares of Conversion Stock issued or issuable upon the
conversion of the Debt or a portion thereof in any manner which interferes with
the timely exercise of the conversion rights under this Note. The Company shall
from time to time take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the
par value per share of the unissued shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon
conversion hereunder is at all times equal to or less than the Conversion Price
then in effect. In the event that the Company fails to comply with its
obligations set forth in the foregoing sentence, the Holder may (but shall not
be obligated to) convert the Debt or a portion thereof at a deemed Conversion
Price equal to par value, and the Company shall be obligated to reimburse
the Holder for the aggregate amount of consideration paid in connection with
such conversion in excess of the actual Conversion Price then in effect.
(vi) The Company shall assist and cooperate with any Holder required to
make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approvals prior to or
in connection with any conversion under this Note (including, without
limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company).
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the conversion of any
portion of this Note is to be made in connection with a Change of Control or
other transaction affecting the Company, such conversion may at the election of
the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which
case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately
prior to the consummation of such transaction.
(viii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued Conversion Stock solely for the purpose of issuance
upon the conversion of this Note, the maximum number of shares of Conversion
Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note. All shares which are so
issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Company shall
take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such shares may be
so issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or
governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange
or trading market upon which shares of Conversion Stock or other securities
into which this Note may be converted may be listed (except for official
notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon
each such issuance). The Company shall not take any action which would cause
the number of authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock to be less
than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance
upon conversion of this Note.
(ix) If the shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of conversion
under this Note are at the time of any such conversion convertible into or
exchangeable for any other stock or securities of the Company, the Company
shall, at the Holder's option and upon the conversion of this Note as provided
above, together with any notice, statement or payment required to effect such
conversion or exchange of such shares, deliver to the Holder (or as otherwise
specified by the Holder) a certificate or certificates representing the stock
or securities into which the shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of
such conversion are convertible or exchangeable, registered in such name or
names and in such denomination or denominations as such Holder has specified.
(x) The Company shall not, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, by any action avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of terms of this Note or impair or diminish its value
(except for any action which ratably affects all shares of Conversion Stock),
but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such
terms of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company shall (a) obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from
any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to
enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Note
and (b) not undertake any reverse stock split, combination, reorganization or
other reclassification of its capital stock which would have the effect of
causing a material portion of the conversion rights represented hereby to
become exercisable for less than one share of Conversion Stock.
1C. CONVERSION AGREEMENT. Upon any conversion under this Note, the Holder
shall deliver to the Company a Conversion Agreement in substantially the form
set forth in Exhibit I hereto, except that if the shares issuable upon such
conversion are not to be issued in the name of the Holder, the Conversion
Agreement shall also state the name of the Person to whom the certificates for
such shares are to be issued, and if the number of such shares to be issued
does not include all of the shares of Conversion Stock issuable hereunder, it
shall also state the name of the Person to whom a new Note is to be issued.
SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
The initial Conversion Price shall be $2.90. In order to prevent dilution
of the conversion rights granted under this Note, the initial Conversion Price
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time (as so adjusted, the
"Conversion Price") as provided in this Section 2.
2A. ADJUSTMENT FORMULA. If and whenever on or after the Date of Issuance
and prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period the Company issues or sells,
or in accordance with Section 2C is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares
of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then immediately
upon such issue or sale or deemed issue or sale the Conversion Price shall be
reduced to either (x) the consideration per share of such issuance or sale or
deemed issuance or sale if such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale
occurs on or prior to December 21, 2000, or (y) the amount determined by
dividing (i) the sum of (1) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale by the number of shares
of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale,
plus (2) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or
sale, by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding
immediately after such issue or sale, if such issuance or sale or deemed
issuance or sale occurs after December 21, 2000, but prior to the expiration of
the Exercise Period.
2B. EXCEPTIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no
adjustment in the Conversion Price as a result of any issue or sale (or deemed
issue or sale) of:
(i) shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to options, warrants,
convertible securities or other rights outstanding on the Date of Issuance, and
(ii) shares of Common Stock as consideration for the acquisition of any
interest in any business or company from a Person other than an Affiliate (A)
which acquisition is not prohibited pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and (B)
so long as the Fair Market Value of the Conversion Stock as of the closing of
such acquisition exceeds $2.90 per share (as such price is
proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations of shares
and stock dividends affecting the Conversion Stock).
2C. EFFECT ON CONVERSION PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 2A, the following shall
be applicable during the Exercise Period:
(1) ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS OR OPTIONS. If the Company in any manner grants or
sells any Options and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options, is less than the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or
sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of
the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
Options for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price
per share for which Common Stock is issuable" shall be determined by dividing
(i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as
consideration for the granting or sale of such Options, plus the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon
exercise of all such Options, plus in the case of such Options which relate to
Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the
total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. No further adjustment of
the Conversion Price shall be made when Convertible Securities are actually
issued upon the exercise of such Options or when Common Stock is actually
issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
(2) ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the Company in any manner
issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share for which
Common Stock is issuable upon conversion or exchange thereof is less than the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale,
then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and
to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale
of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of
this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable" shall
be determined by dividing (i) the total amount received or receivable by the
Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities,
plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable
to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total
maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made when Common Stock is actually issued upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or
sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustments
of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions
of this Section 2, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made
by reason of such issue or sale.
(3) CHANGE IN OPTION PRICE OR CONVERSION RATE. If the purchase price
provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon
the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at which
any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such
change shall be immediately adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have
been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still
outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration
or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued
or sold. For purposes of this Section 2C, if the terms of any Option or
Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the Date of Issuance of this
Note are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence,
then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable
upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been
issued as of the date of such change; provided that no such change shall at any
time cause the Conversion Price hereunder to be increased.
(4) TREATMENT OF EXPIRED OPTIONS AND UNEXERCISED CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES.
Upon the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or
exchange any Convertible Security without the exercise of any such Option or
right, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be adjusted
immediately to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time
of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Security, to
the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination,
never been issued. For purposes of this Section 2C, the expiration or
termination of any Option or Convertible Security which was outstanding as of
the Date of Issuance shall not cause the Conversion Price hereunder to be
adjusted unless, and only to the extent that, a change in the terms of such
Option or Convertible Security caused it to be deemed to have been issued after
the Date of Issuance.
(5) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any Common Stock, Option or
Convertible Security is issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold
for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount
received by the Company therefor (net of discounts, commissions and related
expenses). If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued or
sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other
than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such
consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which
case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be the Fair
Market Value thereof as of the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Option or
Convertible Security is issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in
connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving Company, the
amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, as the case
may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash and securities
shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and
such determination shall be delivered in writing to the Holder. In the event
that the Holder disputes such determination of fair value, the Holder shall so
inform the Company in writing within 10 days after receipt of the Company's
determination and the Company and such Holder
shall negotiate in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable fair value. If
such parties are unable to reach agreement within 30 days after the Holder has
given the Company written notice of its dispute, the fair value of such
consideration shall be determined by an independent appraiser experienced in
valuing such type of consideration jointly selected by the Company and the
Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon the
parties, and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the
Company.
(6) INTEGRATED TRANSACTIONS. In case any Option is issued in connection
with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising
one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to
such Option by the parties thereto, the Option shall be deemed to have been
issued for a consideration of $.001.
(7) TREASURY SHARES. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of
the Company or any Subsidiary, and the disposition of any shares so owned or
held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(8) RECORD DATE. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or
(ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue
or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon
the declaration of such dividend or upon the making of such other distribution
or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the
case may be.
2D. SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any time
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise)
one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and if the Company at any time
combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
2E. REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE. Any
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale
of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or other transaction in
each case which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are
entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock,
securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is
referred to herein as an "Organic Change". Prior to the consummation of any
Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and
substance satisfactory to the Holder) to ensure that the Holder shall
thereafter have the right to acquire and receive upon conversion hereof, in
lieu of or addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Conversion Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion hereunder,
such shares of stock, securities or assets as such Holder would have received
in connection with such Organic Change if such holder had converted this Note
immediately prior to such Organic Change. In each such case, the Company
shall also make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to
the Holder) to insure that the provisions of this Section 2 and Section 4
hereof shall thereafter be applicable to this Note (including, in the case of
any such Organic Change in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is
other than the Company, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price to the
value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Organic Change and a
corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Conversion Stock
acquirable and receivable upon conversion under this Note, if the value so
reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
Organic Change). The Company shall not effect any such Organic Change unless,
prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the
Company) resulting from such Organic Change assumes by written instrument (in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) the obligation to
deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to
acquire.
2F. CERTAIN EVENTS. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the
provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights,
phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features other than as
contemplated by Section 2B hereof), then the Company's Board of Directors shall
make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price and the number of shares
of Conversion Stock obtainable upon conversion of this Note so as to protect
the rights of the Holder of this Note; provided that no such adjustment shall
increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section
2 or decrease the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion
of this Note.
2G. NOTICES. (i) Promptly after any adjustment of the Conversion Price,
the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in
reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment. (ii) The
Company shall give written notice to the Holder at least 20 days prior to the
date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (a) with respect
to any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, (b) with respect to any
pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (c) for determining
rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation.
(iii) The Company shall also give written notice to the Holder at least 20 days
prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation shall
take place.
SECTION 3. LIQUIDATING DIVIDENDS.
If the Company declares or pays a dividend upon the Common Stock payable
otherwise than in cash out of earnings or earned surplus (determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied)
except for a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock (a "Liquidating
Dividend"), then the Company shall pay to the Holder of this Note at the time
of payment thereof the Liquidating Dividend which would have been paid to such
Holder on the shares of Conversion Stock had the outstanding Debt had been
fully converted immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for
such Liquidating Dividend reduced by an amount equal to the outstanding Debt
under this Note, or, if no record is taken,
the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such
dividends are to be determined.
SECTION 4. PURCHASE RIGHTS. If at any time the Company grants, issues or
sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants,
securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of
Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder hereof shall be entitled
to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate
Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held
the number of shares of Conversion Stock acquirable upon conversion of such
holder's Notes immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the
grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or if no such record is taken,
the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for
the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
SECTION 5. NO VOTING RIGHTS; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
This Note shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other
rights as a stockholder of the Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of
affirmative action by the Holder to acquire shares of Conversion Stock, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder shall give rise to
any liability of such Holder for the Conversion Price of shares of Conversion
Stock acquirable by conversion hereof or as a stockholder of the Company.
SECTION 6. TRANSFERABILITY.
Subject to the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed
hereon and applicable securities laws, this Note and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the Holder, upon surrender
of this Note with a properly executed Assignment (in the form of Exhibit II
hereto) at the principal office of the Company, with the prior written consent
of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, provided, however,
that no such consent shall be required if any such transfer is to an Affiliate
of SportsLine.
SECTION 7. NOTE EXCHANGEABLE FOR DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS. This Note is
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of
the Company, for new Notes of like tenor representing in the aggregate Debt
hereunder, and each of such new Notes shall represent such portion of Debt as is
designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender. At the request of the
Holder (pursuant to a transfer of Notes or otherwise), this Note may be
exchanged for one or more Notes. The date the Company initially issues Notes
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be the "Date of Issuance"
regardless of the number of times new Notes shall be issued. All Notes
representing portions of the rights hereunder are referred to herein as the
"Notes."

prices on all such exchanges or reported at the end of such day, or, if on any
