France (the "Lender").

WITNESSETH:

        WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Lender have entered into the Business
Combination Agreement dated as of December 1, 2007 (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Business Combination
Agreement") among the Parent (as defined herein), VGAC LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, Vivendi Games, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Borrower
(known as Activision Inc. when such agreement was executed), and Sego Merger
Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

        WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Borrower has requested
that the Lender enter into this Agreement prior to the consummation of the Share
Purchase and the Merger (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)
and extend credit in the form of (a) Term Loans, in an aggregate principal
amount not in excess of $550.0 million, and (b) Revolving Loans at any time and
from time to time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $475.0 million, none
of which will be drawn on the Closing Date.

        WHEREAS, the proceeds of the Loans are to be used in accordance with
Section 3.12.

Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

Permitted Acquisition, whether paid in cash or by exchange of Equity Interests
or of properties or otherwise and whether payable at or prior to the
consummation of such Permitted Acquisition or deferred for payment at any future
time, whether or not any such future payment is subject to the occurrence of any
contingency, and includes any and all payments representing the purchase price
and any assumptions of Indebtedness, "earn-outs" and other agreements to make
any payment the amount of which is, or the terms of payment of which are, in any
respect subject to or contingent upon the revenues, income, cash flow or profits
(or the like) of any person or business; provided that any such future payment
that is subject to a contingency shall be considered Acquisition Consideration
only to the extent of the reserve, if any, required under GAAP at the time of
such sale to be established in respect thereof by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries.

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

        "Affiliate" shall mean, when used with respect to a specified person,

        "Asset Sale" shall mean (a) any conveyance, sale, lease, sublease,

determines in good faith that the rate so reported no longer accurately reflects
an accurate determination of the prevailing Prime Rate, the Lender may select a
reasonably comparable index or source to use as the basis for the Base Rate. Any
change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Federal Funds Effective Rate or
the "Prime Rate" shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the
Federal Funds Effective Rate or the "Prime Rate", as the case may be.

however, that the term "Contingent Obligation" shall not include endorsements of
instruments for deposit or collection in the ordinary course of business or any
product warranties. The amount of any Contingent Obligation shall be deemed to
be an amount equal to the stated or determinable amount of the primary
obligation in respect of which such Contingent Obligation is made (or, if less,
the maximum amount of such primary obligation for which such person may be
liable, whether singly or jointly, pursuant to the terms of the instrument
evidencing such Contingent Obligation) or, if not stated or determinable, the

(e)Application of Prepayments.    Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment
hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid
and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.10(f), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.10(e), provided,
that any mandatory prepayment required under Section 2.10(c) or 2.10(d) shall be
applied first to repay the Term Borrowings then outstanding and then to any
Revolving Borrowings. In the event of any optional or mandatory prepayment of
Term Borrowings made at a time when Term Borrowings of more than one Class
remain outstanding, the aggregate amount of such prepayment shall be allocated
first to the Tranche A Loans then outstanding and then to any Tranche B Loans
outstanding. Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.10 to the
prepayment of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable,
first to reduce outstanding ABR Term Loans and ABR Revolving Loans,
respectively. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied
to prepay Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans, as applicable.

(f)Notice of Prepayment.    The Borrower shall notify the Lender by written
notice of any prepayment hereunder five Business Days before the date of
prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable. Each such notice shall
specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Each partial prepayment
of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a
Credit Extension of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as
necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each
prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the
prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.10.
Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.06.

        SECTION 2.11Alternate Rate of Interest.    If prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)the Lender determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b)the Lender determines that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining
its Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

24

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

then the Lender shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

        SECTION 2.12Yield Protection.

(a)Increased Costs Generally.    If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose on or deem applicable to the Lender any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in, by
commercial banks or other regulated financial institutions;

(ii)subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of
payments to the Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes covered by Section 2.15 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate
of, any Excluded Tax payable by the Lender); or

(iii)impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by the Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
other amount), then, upon request of the Lender, the Borrower will pay to the
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements.    Only to the extent applicable to the Lender, if the
Lender determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any
Change in Law affecting the Lender or the Lender's holding company, if any,
regarding regulatory capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on the Lender's capital or on the capital of the
Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the
Commitments of the Lender or the Loans made by the Lender to a level below that
which the Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender's policies and the
policies of the Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then
from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate the Lender or such Lender's holding company for any
such reduction suffered.

(c)Eurocurrency Adjustments.    The Borrower shall pay to the Lender, as long as
the Lender shall be required to maintain reserves under Regulation D with
respect to "Eurocurrency liabilities" within the meaning of Regulation D, or
under any similar or successor regulation with respect Eurocurrency liabilities
or Eurocurrency funding, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of
each Eurodollar Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to
such Eurodollar Loan by the Lender (as determined by the Lender in good faith,
which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each
date on which interest is payable on such LIBOR Loan, provided the Borrower
shall have received at least ten days prior notice of such additional interest
from the Lender. If the Lender fails to give notice ten days prior to the
relevant interest payment date, such additional interest shall be due and
payable ten days from receipt of such notice.

25

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

(d)Certificates for Reimbursement.    A certificate of the Lender setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) or (c) of this
Section 2.12 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(e)Delay in Requests.    Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of the
Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not
be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date
that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of the Lender's intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).

        SECTION 2.13Breakage Payments.    In the event of (a) the payment or
prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar
Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving
Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto,
then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender for the loss,
cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan,
such loss, cost or expense to the Lender shall be deemed to include an amount
determined by the Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not
occurred at the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date
of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or,
in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that
would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
LIBOR Rate on the first day of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable
amount and period. A certificate of the Lender setting forth in reasonable
detail any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

        SECTION 2.14Payments Generally.

(a)Payments Generally.    The Borrower shall make each payment required to be
made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal,
interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 or 8.03, or
otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such
other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required,
prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received
after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such
payments shall be made to the account of the Lender specified in Schedule 2.14
hereto, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Lender. If any payment under
any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless
specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars, except as expressly specified
otherwise.

26

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

        SECTION 2.15Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes.    Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be
made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by
applicable Requirements of Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any
Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.    Without limiting the provisions of
paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of
Law.

(c)Indemnification by the Borrower.    The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender,
within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor (which demand shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts), for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) paid by the Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

(d)Evidence of Payments.    As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Lender.

(e)Status of Lender.    If the Lender is a Foreign Lender it shall, to the
extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the Closing
Date (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower, but
only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:

(i)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of
America is a party,

(ii)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii)in the event the Lender is claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in form
reasonably acceptable to the Lender, to the effect that the Lender is not (A) a
"bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent
shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the
Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(iv)any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax
duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable

27

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

Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or
deduction required to be made.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.    If the Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of (or credit in lieu of a refund for)
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such
refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender, and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in
the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Lender to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that
it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, in no event will the Lender be required to pay any
amount to the Borrower the payment of which would place the Lender in a less
favorable net after-tax position than the Lender would have been in if the
additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes had never been paid. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower (and at
the Borrower's expense), the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate
with the Borrower with a view to obtaining a refund of any Indemnified or other
Taxes with respect to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party has paid any
amounts pursuant to Section 2.15 and which the Borrower, on advice of counsel,
reasonably believes were not correctly or legally asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority; provided that the Lender shall not be required to
(i) take any action that the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, would
have an adverse effect on the Lender or (ii) disclose any information that it
deems to be confidential.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

        The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that:

        SECTION 3.01Organization; Powers.    Each Company Entity (a) is duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business
as now conducted and to own and lease its property and (c) is qualified and in
good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the applicable
jurisdiction) to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is
required, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or be in
good standing, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no existing default
under any Organizational Document of any Company Entity or any event which, with
the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a default by
any party thereunder.

        SECTION 3.02Authorization; Enforceability.    The Transactions to be
entered into by each Company Entity are within such Company Entity's powers and
have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Company
Entity. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and
constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered by the
Borrower will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

28

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

        SECTION 3.03No Conflicts.    Except as otherwise disclosed in
Schedules 4.5(b) and 5.5(a) and (b) to the Business Combination Agreement, the
Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or
filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such
as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and
(ii) consents, approvals, registrations, filings, permits or actions the failure
to obtain or perform which could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate the Organizational Documents of
any Company Entity, (c) will not violate any Requirement of Law, (d) will not
violate or result in a default or require any consent or approval under any
indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Company Entity or its
property, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made
by any Company Entity, except for violations, defaults or the creation of such
rights that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any
property of any Company Entity, except Permitted Liens.

        SECTION 3.04Financial Statements; Projections.

(a)Historical Financial Statements.    The Borrower has heretofore delivered to
the Lender the consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Borrower (i) as of and for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, audited by and accompanied by the
unqualified opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public
accountants, and (ii) as of and for the nine-month period ended December 31,
2007, certified by the chief financial officer of the Borrower. Such financial
statements and all financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a),
(b) and (c) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly and
accurately the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of
the Borrower as of the dates and for the periods to which they relate.

(b)No Liabilities.    Except as set forth in the financial statements referred
to in Section 3.04(a), there are no liabilities of any Company Entity of any
kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or
otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances
which could reasonably be expected to result in such a liability, other than
liabilities under the Loan Documents. Since March 31, 2008, there has been no
event, change, circumstance or occurrence that, individually or in the
aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

        SECTION 3.05Properties.    Each Company Entity has good title to, or
valid leasehold interests in, all its property material to its business, free
and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens and minor irregularities or
deficiencies in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not interfere
with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize
such property for its intended purpose. The property of the Company Entities,
taken as a whole, (i) is generally in good operating order, condition and repair
(ordinary wear and tear excepted) and (ii) constitutes all the property which is
required for the business and operations of the Company Entities as presently
conducted.

        SECTION 3.06Intellectual Property.    Except as otherwise disclosed in
Schedule 3.06 hereto or in Schedule 4.18 or 5.18(i) or (j) to the Business
Combination Agreement, each Company Entity owns, or is licensed to use, all
patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade names, service marks,
copyrights, technology, trade secrets, proprietary information, domain names,
know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently
conducted (the "Intellectual Property"), except for those the failure to own or
license which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been asserted and
is pending by any person challenging or questioning the use of any such
Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual
Property, nor does any Company Entity know of any valid basis for any such
claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by each Company Entity does not
infringe the rights of any

29

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

person, except for such claims and infringements that, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

        SECTION 3.07Equity Interests and Subsidiaries.    All Equity Interests
of each Company Entity are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable, and, other than the Equity Interests of the Borrower, are owned
by the Borrower, directly or indirectly through its Subsidiaries.

        SECTION 3.08Litigation; Compliance with Laws.    Except as otherwise
disclosed in Schedule 3.08 hereto or in Schedule 4.13 or 5.13 to the Business
Combination Agreement, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in
equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge
of any Company Entity, threatened against or affecting any Company Entity or any
business, property or rights of any Company Entity (i) that involve any Loan
Document or any of the Transactions or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable
possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Except for matters covered by Section 3.17, no Company
Entity or any of its property is in violation of, nor will the continued
operation of its property as currently conducted violate, any Requirements of
Law (including any zoning or building ordinance, code or approval or any
building permits) or any restrictions of record or agreements affecting any
Company Entity's Real Property or is in default with respect to any Requirement
of Law, where such violation or default, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

        SECTION 3.09Agreements.

(a)Generally.    No Company Entity is a party to any agreement or instrument or
subject to any corporate or other constitutional restriction that has resulted
or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or that
could reasonably be expected to impair materially the Borrower's compliance with
the terms of the Loan Documents. No Company Entity is in default in any manner
under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing
Indebtedness, or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its property is or may be bound, where such default could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and no condition
exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute such a default.

(b)Dividend Limitations.    No Subsidiary of the Borrower is party to any
agreement or instrument or subject to any other restriction that encumbers or
otherwise restricts the ability of any such Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or
make any other distributions on its capital stock or any other interest or
participation in its profits owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or pay any
Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or a Subsidiary, (b) make loans or advances to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (c) transfer any of its properties to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, except for such encumbrances or restrictions
permitted to exist pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof.

(c)Restrictions on Cash Equivalents.    No Company Entity is party to any
agreement or instrument (other than the Loan Documents) or subject to any other
restriction that prohibits or otherwise limits the ability of the Borrower to
access and apply its available cash and Cash Equivalents for more than thirty
consecutive days.

        SECTION 3.10Federal Reserve Regulations.    No Company Entity is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the
proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether
immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a
violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of
the Board, including Regulation T, U or X.

30

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

        SECTION 3.11Investment Company Act.    No Company Entity is an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," as
defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.

        SECTION 3.12Use of Proceeds.    The Borrower will use the proceeds of
(a) the Tranche A Loans solely to consummate the Tender Offer and to pay related
fees and expenses, (b) the Tranche B Loans solely to refinance, in its entirety,
the Vivendi Games Facility and to pay related fees and expenses and (c) the
Revolving Loans after the Closing Date for general corporate purposes (including
those described in Section 5.07).

        SECTION 3.13Taxes.    Each Company Entity has (a) timely filed or caused
to be timely filed all federal Tax Returns and all material state, local and
foreign Tax Returns or materials required to have been filed by it and all such
Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects and (b) duly and
timely paid, collected or remitted or caused to be duly and timely paid,
collected or remitted all Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due and
payable, collectible or remittable by it and all assessments received by it,
except Taxes (i) that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which such Company Entity has set aside on its books
adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP and (ii) which could not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Company Entity has
made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for all Taxes not yet due and
payable. Each Company Entity is unaware of any proposed or pending tax
assessments, deficiencies or audits that could be reasonably expected to,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as
could not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in
a Material Adverse Effect, no Company Entity has ever (a) been a party to any
understanding or arrangement constituting a "tax shelter" within the meaning of
Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(ii) of the Code, or within the meaning of Section 6111(c)
or Section 6111(d) of the Code as in effect immediately prior to the enactment
of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, or (b) "participated" in a
"reportable transaction" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4.

        SECTION 3.14No Material Misstatements.    The information, reports,
financial statements, certificates, exhibits and or schedules furnished by or on
behalf of any Company Entity to the Lender in connection with the negotiation of
any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto, taken as a
whole, do not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading as of the date
such information is dated or certified; provided that to the extent any such
information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or
constitutes a forecast or projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted
in good faith and utilized reasonable assumptions and due care in the
preparation of such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or
schedule.

        SECTION 3.15Solvency.    Immediately after the consummation of the
Transactions to occur on the Closing Date and immediately following the making
of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each
Loan, (a) the fair value of the properties of the Borrower (individually and on
a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will exceed its debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair
saleable value of the property of the Borrower (individually and on a
consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will be greater than the amount that
will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other
liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower (individually and on a
consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will be able to pay its debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Borrower (individually and
on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will not have unreasonably small
capital with which to conduct its business in which it is engaged as such
business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing
Date.

31

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

        SECTION 3.16Employee Benefit Plans.    Each Company Entity and, to the
knowledge of the Company Entities, each of the Company Entities' ERISA
Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events,
could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of any Company
Entity or any of its ERISA Affiliates or the imposition of a Lien on any of the
property of any Company Entity. Using actuarial assumptions and computation
methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the
aggregate liabilities of each Company Entity or its ERISA Affiliates to all
Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the
close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the extent
applicable, each Foreign Plan has been maintained in material compliance with
its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable Requirements of
Law and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable
regulatory authorities. No Company Entity has incurred any material obligation
in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan.
Except to the extent any such excess could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities
(whether or not vested) under each Plan which is funded, determined as of the
end of the most recently ended fiscal year of the respective Company Entity on
the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed
the current value of the property of such Plan, and for each Plan which is not
funded, the obligations of such Plan are properly accrued.

        SECTION 3.17Environmental Matters.

(a)Except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected

connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendment,
amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof

50

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

or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall
be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender
(including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Lender) in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under
this Section 8.03, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including
all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans and (iii) all documentary and similar
taxes and charges in respect of the Loan Documents.

(b)Indemnification by the Borrower.    The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender
and each Related Party (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against,
and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted
against any Indemnitee by any party hereto or any third party arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any amendment, amendment and restatement,
modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof, or the performance
by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder,
(ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any
actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous
Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by any

investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the
Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee or (y) a knowing and willful breach of such Indemnitee's
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

(c)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.    To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of
the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.

(d)Payments.    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than three Business Days after demand therefor.

        SECTION 8.04Successors and Assigns.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally.    The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Lender. Lender may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an
assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this
Section 8.04, (ii) by way of

51

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

participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c) of this
Section 8.04 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest
subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section 8.04 (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or the Lender shall be null and
void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.

(b)Assignments by the Lender.    The Lender may at any time after the Closing
Date (or, in respect of the Tranche B Commitment and the Tranche B Loans, after
the Tranche B Funding Date) assign to one or more persons (1) all or any portion
of the Term Loans owing to it and its related rights and obligations under this
Agreement and/or (2) with the consent of the Borrower, which shall not
unreasonably be withheld or delayed, all (but not less than all) of the
Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans owing to it and its related rights
and obligations under this Agreement. Each assignee of the Revolving Commitment
and/or Loans shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this
Agreement, to the extent of the interest assigned by the Lender and the Lender
shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent of the
interest assigned. In any event, in the case of an assignment covering all of
the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease
to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. The Borrower shall
maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest
amounts) of the Loans and other amounts owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders
shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of
such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the Lender hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment or
transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section 8.04.

(c)Participations.    The Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower sell participations to any person (each, a
"Participant") in all or a portion of the Lender's rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the
Loans owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender's obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the
Lender in connection with the Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. The Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts of each Participant's
participation interest in the Loans (or other rights and obligations) held by it
(the "Participant Register"). The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Lender shall treat each person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
interest as the owner thereof for all purposes notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. In maintaining the Participant Register, the Lender shall be acting as
the agent of the Borrower solely for purposes of applicable United States
federal income tax law and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder;
provided, however, that the Lender thereby undertakes no duty, responsibility or
obligation to

52

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

the Borrower (without limitation, in no event shall the Lender be a fiduciary of
the Borrower for any purpose), except that the Lender shall maintain the
Participant Register and, upon request by the Borrower, the Lender shall show
the Participant Register to the Borrower.

        Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in
clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to Section 8.02(b) that affects
such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d) of this the Section, the Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12,
2.13 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements of those Sections) to the same extent
as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.08 as though it were the
Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though
it were the Lender.

(d)Limitations on Participant Rights.    A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 than the Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Borrower's prior written consent.

(e)Certain Pledges.    The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto. The
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, collaterally assign or pledge
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and
Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as the Lender under this
Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders
of, obligations owed or securities issued, by the Lender or any Subsidiary
thereof, as security for such obligations or securities.

        SECTION 8.05Survival of Agreement.    All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents and in
the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any
investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and
Article VIII (other than Section 8.12) shall survive and remain in full force
and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

        SECTION 8.06Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.    This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except
as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Lender and the Borrower. Delivery of an executed

53

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

counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

        SECTION 8.07Severability.    Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

        SECTION 8.08Right of Setoff.    If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency)
at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing
by the Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Lender,
irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the
Borrower may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of the Lender and its
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that the Lender or its Affiliates may have.
The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and
application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.

        SECTION 8.09Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law
principles that would require the application of the laws of another
jurisdiction.

(b)Submission to Jurisdiction.    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

(c)Waiver of Venue.    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 8.09(b). Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Requirements of Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)Service of Process.    Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of
process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan
Document, in the manner provided for

54

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

notices (other than telecopier) in Section 8.01. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve
process in any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

        SECTION 8.10Waiver of Jury Trial.    The Borrower hereby waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any right it may
have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or
attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such
other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing
waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been
induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers
and certifications in this Section.

        SECTION 8.11Headings.    Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into

        SECTION 8.12USA Patriot Act Notice.    The Lender is subject to the
Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Lender hereby notifies the Borrower
that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information
includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Borrower and
other information regarding the Borrower that will allow the Lender to identify
the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. This notice is given in
accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act.

        SECTION 8.13Interest Rate Limitation.    Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest
on such Loan under applicable Requirements of Law (collectively, the "Charges"),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such
Loan in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, the rate of interest
payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in
respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful,
the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan
but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be
cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to the Lender in respect of other
Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor)
until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by the Lender.

        SECTION 8.14Obligations Absolute.    To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, all obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall
be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a)any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment,
composition, liquidation or the like of the Borrower;
