Exhibit 10.3

 

AMENDMENT NO. 3, dated as of June 30, 2004 (this “Amendment”) to the CREDIT
AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), dated as of June 21, 1999, among BLOCKBUSTER INC., a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”), the Bank parties thereto from time to time,
CITIBANK, N.A., as the Administrative Agent, THE BANK OF NEW YORK, as the
Documentation Agent, THE BANK OF AMERICA N.A. (formerly known as THE BANK OF
AMERICA NT&SA), as a Syndication Agent and CHASE SECURITIES INC., as a
Syndication Agent.

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the parties have heretofore entered into the Credit Agreement providing
for, among other things, a 5-year revolving commitment due to mature on July 1,
2004;

 

WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Credit Agreement, inter alia, to extend
the maturity date of the 5-year revolving loan commitment and reduce the Tranche
A Loan Commitments of the Banks by $300,000,000 (the “Reduction Amount”); and

 

WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend Section 10.8 of the Credit Agreement to
permit the Borrower to declare a special cash dividend to its shareholders (the
“Special Dividend”), provided, however, that the Borrower may not pay the
Special Dividend unless otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1. Amendments. (a) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
by replacing “July 1, 2004” in the definition of “Tranche A Loan Commitment
Termination Date” with “December 31, 2004”.

 

(b) Section 10.8 of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following
paragraph to the end of Section 10.8:

 

“(iii) the declaration (but not the payment) of the Special Dividend.”

 

SECTION 2. Reduction of Tranche A Loan Commitments. The Borrower hereby requests
and the Banks hereby agree that upon effectiveness of this Amendment, the
Tranche A Loan Commitments of the Banks shall be permanently reduced ratably in
the amount of the Reduction Amount, provided, however, that if any Banks elect
not to extend the maturity date of their Tranche A Loan Commitments (the
“Non-Extending Banks”) as contemplated in Section 1(a) hereof, the Tranche A
Loan Commitments of the Non-Extending Banks (the “Terminated Commitments”) shall
terminate on July 1, 2004, and the Tranche A Loan Commitments of the Banks
(other than the Non-Extending

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Banks) shall be permanently reduced ratably in an amount equal to the excess of
the Reduction Amount over the amount of the Terminated Commitments.

 

SECTION 3. Notification of Consent and Election. (a) Any Bank that consents to
this Amendment and elects to extend the maturity date of its Tranche A Loan
Commitment as contemplated in Section 1(a) hereof, shall deliver a notice of its
consent and election to the Administrative Agent in the form attached as Annex A
hereto.

 

(b) Any Bank that consents to this Amendment and elects not to extend the
maturity date of its Tranche A Loan Commitment as contemplated in Section 1(a)
hereof, shall deliver a notice of its consent and election to the Administrative
Agent in the form attached as Annex B hereto.

 

SECTION 4. Deemed Consent. Any Bank that consents to this Amendment expressly
agrees that any Bank that shall not have consented hereto (the “Non-Consenting
Bank”) prior to July 1, 2004, if repaid on that date in full, shall for purposes
of Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement be deemed to have elected not to extend
the maturity date of such Non-Consenting Bank’s Tranche A Loan Commitment and to
have consented to the terms of this Amendment.

 

SECTION 5. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall be effective as of the date first
above written when, and only when, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have
received counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower and the
Majority Banks or, as to any of the Banks, advice satisfactorily to the
Administrative Agent that such Bank has executed this Amendment, and, without
duplication, notices of consents and elections from each of the Banks holding
Tranche A Loan Commitments in the form of Annex A or Annex B, as the case may
be, attached hereto, and (ii) Banks having aggregate Tranche A Loan Commitments
equal to at least $300,000,000 shall have elected to extend the maturity of
their respective Tranche A Loan Commitments as contemplated in Section 1(a)
hereof.

 

SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and
warrants that as of the date hereof (i) the representations and warranties
contained in Article VII of the Credit Agreement (other than those stated to be
made as of a particular date) are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the date hereof as though made on the date hereof, and (ii) no Default
or Event of Default shall exist or be continuing under the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 7. Miscellaneous. (a) Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

(b) Except as amended hereby, all of the terms of the Credit Agreement shall
remain and continue in full force and effect and are hereby confirmed in all
respects.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) This Amendment shall be a Loan Document for the purposes of the Credit
Agreement.

 

(d) This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto were
upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Amendment by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

 

(e) The provisions of Sections 13.2, 13.3, 13.9 and 13.10 shall apply to this
Amendment mutatis mutandis.

 

(f) THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
