PROMISSORY NOTE
$1,250,000.00 Washington, D.C.
Maturity Date: January 1, 2001 July 26, 2000
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, THE NOSTALGIA NETWORK, INC. a
Delaware corporation ("Maker"), hereby promises to pay to the order of CROWN
COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, or any subsequent holder or
holders ("Holder") of this Promissory Note (this "Note"), at 650 Massachusetts
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001, or at such other place as Holder may from
time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of one million two hundred
fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000.00), together with all accrued interest on
such outstanding balance, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Note.
1. Interest; Payments. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal
balance of this Note (as well as on all accrued and unpaid interest) from and
after the date of this Note at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate as
published in the Wall Street Journal on July 26, 2000, compounded monthly. The
principal balance, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall be
due and payable on January 1, 2001 (the "Maturity Date").
2. Payments. All payments by Maker hereunder shall be applied (i)
first to any collection costs pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof, (ii) second to the
interest due and unpaid under this Note, and (iii) thereafter, to any principal
owing under this Note.
3. Prepayment. Maker shall have the right to prepay, in part or
in full, without penalty, this Note (together with all accrued interest to the
date of prepayment on the amount of principal thus prepaid) at any time or
times.
4. Waiver Regarding Notice. Maker waives presentment, demand and
presentation for payment, protest and notice of protest, and, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, any other notices of whatever kind or
nature, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums
owing hereunder. From time to time, without in any way affecting the obligation
of Maker to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note and any interest
accrued thereon and fully to observe and perform the covenants and obligations
of Maker under this Note, without giving notice to, or obtaining the consent of,
Maker, and without any liability whatsoever on the part of Holder, Holder may,
at its option, extend the time for payment of interest hereon and/or principal
of this Note, reduce the payments hereunder, release anyone liable on this Note
or accept a renewal of this Note, join in any extension or subordination, or
exercise any right or election hereunder. No one or more of such actions shall
constitute a novation or operate to release any party liable for or under this
Note, either as Maker or otherwise.
<PAGE>
5. Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an
"Event of Default" hereunder:
(a) Maker's failure to make any required payment of
principal and/or interest under this Note, or any other amount due and payable
under this Note, which failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after
written notice of such failure is sent by Holder to Maker;
(b) The occurrence of an event of default under that
certain Security Agreement by and between Maker and Holder dated as of March 21,
1997, as amended (the "Security Agreement");
(c) The occurrence of an event of default under any
outstanding promissory notes by Maker payable to Concept Communications,
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Concept");
(d) The occurrence of an event of default under any
outstanding promissory notes by Maker payable to Holder;
(e) The occurrence of an event of default under that
certain Security Agreement by and between Maker and Concept dated as of January
4, 1996;
(f) Maker's failure to perform any other obligation (other
than one that can be satisfied with the payment of money) required under this
Note, and the continuation of such failure for a period of ten (10) days after
Holder gives Maker written notice of such failure to perform; and
(g) Maker's insolvency, general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or the commencement by or against Maker of any case, proceeding, or
other action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation,
dissolution, or composition of Maker's debts under any law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization, or relief of debtors, or seeking
appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or other similar official for
Maker or for all or any substantial part of Maker's assets.
6. Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Holder shall have the right to cause the entire unpaid principal balance,
together with all accrued interest thereon, reasonable attorneys' and paralegal'
fees and all fees, charges, costs and expenses, if any, owed by Maker to Holder,
to become immediately due and payable in full by giving written notice to Maker.
7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Holder
may avail itself of any legal or equitable rights which Holder may have at law
or in equity or under this Note, including, but not limited to, the right to
accelerate the indebtedness due under this Note as described in the preceding
sentence. The remedies of Holder as provided herein shall be distinct and
cumulative, and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole
discretion of Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall
arise. Failure to exercise any of the foregoing options upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the
same or any other option at any subsequent time in respect to the same or any
other Event of Default, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy
shall preclude other or further exercise of the same or any other right or
remedy. Holder shall have no duty to exercise any or all of the rights and
remedies herein provided or contemplated. The acceptance by Holder of any
payment hereunder that is less than payment in full of all amounts due and
payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right
to exercise any of the foregoing rights or remedies at that time, or nullify any
prior exercise of any such rights or remedies without the express written
consent of Holder.

<PAGE>
8. Expenses of Collection. If this Note is referred to an
attorney for collection, whether or not any other action has been instituted or
taken to enforce or collect under this Note, Maker shall pay all of Holder's
costs, fees (including reasonable in-house and outside attorneys' and paralegal'
fees) and expenses in connection with such referral.
9. Governing Law. The provisions of this Note shall be governed
and construed according to the law of the District of Columbia, without giving
effect to its conflicts of law provisions.
10. Security. Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note
is secured by certain assets of Maker pledged to Holder pursuant to the Security
Agreement.
11. No Waiver. Neither any course of dealing by Holder nor any
failure or delay on its part to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy of Holder hereunder unless said
waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent
specifically set forth in said writing. A waiver as to one event shall not be
construed as a continuing waiver by Holder or as a bar to or waiver of any right
or remedy by Holder as to any subsequent event.
12. Notices.
(a) All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall either
be hand delivered, with receipt therefor, or sent by Federal Express or similar
courier, with receipt therefor, or by certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, as follows:

sent by courier or by certified or registered mail is returned as undeliverable,
such notice shall be deemed effective when mailed or given to such courier.
(b) Any of the foregoing persons may change the address to
which notices are to be delivered to it hereunder by giving written notice to
the others as provided in Paragraph 12(a).
13. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
provisions of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of this Note, and this Note shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
contained herein.

<PAGE>
14. Limitations of Applicable Law. In the event the operation of
any provision of this Note results in an effective rate of interest transcending
the limit of the usury or any other law applicable to the loan evidenced hereby,
all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in
question shall, without further agreement or notice by any party to this Note,
be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note immediately upon receipt
of such monies by Holder, with the same force and effect as though Maker had
specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to the unpaid principal
balance and Holder had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a prepayment.
15. Captions. The captions herein are for convenience of reference
only and in no way define or limit the scope or content of this Note or in any
way affect its provisions.
16. Debtor-Creditor Relationship. Holder shall in no event be
construed for any purpose to be a partner, joint venturer or associate of Maker,
it being the sole intention of the parties to establish a relationship of debtor
and creditor.
17. Time of the Essence. It is expressly agreed that time is of
the essence in the performance of the obligations set forth in this Note.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has executed this Promissory Note under seal on
this 26th day of July 2000.
