MASTER NOTE (Eurodollar/Prime Rate) 

 

	
                        $20,000,000
 	
      Date: May 27, 2008             
 

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, a Delaware limited partnership, promises to pay to the order of CITIBANK, N.A. (the “Bank”), on or before April 1, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”), the sum of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made by the Bank pursuant to the line of credit (each an “Advance” and collectively, the “Advances”), not to exceed an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), available to the undersigned solely from December 1 to April 1 of each year (the “Line”) together with interest thereon as set forth herein. 

 Each Advance hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum as determined in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto. The undersigned shall notify the Bank not later than 12 noon three Business Days prior to each Advance hereunder which the undersigned requests to maintain at a rate of interest based, in part, on Libor Rate (a “Eurodollar Advance”), and not later than 12 noon on the date of each Advance which the undersigned requests to maintain at a rate of interest based, in part, on the Base Rate (a “Base Rate Advance”). All requests for Advances shall be irrevocable and shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 with respect to any Advance. Each request by the undersigned for an Advance hereunder shall specify whether the requested Advance is a Eurodollar Advance or a
Base Rate Advance, the proposed date to fund the Advance, and if a Eurodollar Advance is requested, the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

 Any Eurodollar Advance may be continued as a Eurodollar Advance upon expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by complying with the notice provisions contained in the definition of Interest Period; provided, however, that no Eurodollar Advance may be continued as such when any Event of Default or event which upon notice, passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Advance on the last date of the Interest Period in effect when the Bank is notified of such default or Event of Default. 

On April 1 of each year, the undersigned will make such payments as are necessary to repay in full all Advances then outstanding and the undersigned shall not request any Advances from April 1 to November 30 of each year. 

The undersigned may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Eurodollar Advances to Base Rate Advances by giving the Bank at least three Business Days prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that any conversion of a Eurodollar Advance may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The undersigned may elect from time to time to convert an outstanding Base Rate Advance to a Eurodollar Advance by giving the Bank irrevocable written notice of such election not later than 12 noon, three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed conversion and further provided that (i) the conversion shall be in the minimum principal amount of $100,000 and (ii) no Event of Default or event upon notice, passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Advance may
be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Advance if the Interest Period would extend beyond the Maturity Date. 

Interest in respect of Base Rate Advances shall be payable on the first day of each month commencing on the first such date to occur after the date the Advance is made, and on the Maturity Date. Interest in respect of Eurodollar Advances shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All payments hereunder shall be payable in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States. The undersigned authorizes the Bank to charge any of the undersigned’s accounts for payments of principal or interest. Any payment of principal of or interest payable hereunder which is not paid when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, shall bear interest from the date due until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3%)
above the rate otherwise payable with respect thereto. 

All requests for advances shall be irrevocable and shall be for a minimum of $100,000 and must be received by the Bank no later than 12:00 noon on the date of the proposed advance. The Bank may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by the Bank in good faith to be from the undersigned. In each such case, the undersigned hereby waives the right to dispute the Bank’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice. The undersigned shall immediately confirm to the Bank in writing each telephonic notice. All advances under the Line are at the Bank’s sole and absolute discretion and the Bank, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion and without notice to the undersigned, may decline to make any advance requested by the undersigned. 

 

 

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the terms and conditions set forth in any agreement in writing between the Bank and the undersigned, the undersigned may borrow, repay in whole or in part, and reborrow on a revolving basis, up to the maximum amount of the Line. Base Rate Advances may be prepaid without premium or penalty together with accrued interest thereon to and including the date of prepayment. Eurodollar Advances may be prepaid without premium or penalty (except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph) together with accrued interest thereon to and including the date of prepayment, provided such prepayment date must be the last day of the then current Interest Period of such Advance. The Bank shall maintain its records to reflect the amount and date of each advance and of each payment of principal and interest thereon. All such records shall, absent
manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding principal amount hereof; provided, however, that the failure to make any notation to the Bank’s records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the undersigned to repay each advance made by the Bank, in accordance with the terms hereof. 

The undersigned agrees to indemnify the Bank and hold the Bank harmless from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur, including without limitation, interest or fees payable by the Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Eurodollar Advance hereunder, as a consequence of (a) default by the undersigned in payment of the principal amount of or interest on a Eurodollar Advance, (b) default by the undersigned in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Advance after the undersigned gives notice in accordance with this Note and/or (c) the making of any payment of a Eurodollar Advance on a day which is not the last day of the then applicable Interest Period with respect thereto. When claiming indemnification under this paragraph, the Bank shall provide to the undersigned a statement explaining the amount of any such loss or expense which statement
shall in the absence of manifest error be conclusive with respect to the undersigned. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall survive payment in full of the Note. 

Upon the occurrence and continuance of any of the following (each an “Event of Default”): (a) default in the payment when due of any amount hereunder or (b) the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to in the definition of the Leverage Ratio below), then this Note shall, at the sole option of the Bank, become due and payable without notice or demand. 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Bank shall be entitled to setoff against and apply to the payment hereof the balance of any account or accounts maintained with the Bank by the undersigned and to exercise any other right or remedy granted hereunder, or under any agreement between the undersigned and the Bank or available at law or in equity. The failure by the Bank at any time to exercise any such right shall not be deemed a waiver thereof, nor shall it bar the exercise of any such right at a later date. Each and every right and remedy granted to the Bank hereunder or under any agreement between the undersigned and the Bank or available at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies, and may be exercised by the Bank from time to time and as often as may be necessary in the
sole and absolute discretion of the Bank. 

The undersigned agrees to pay, on demand, all of the Bank’s costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees (whether in-house or outside counsel), in connection with the collection of any amounts due to the Bank hereunder or in connection with the enforcement of the Bank’s rights under this Note. 

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to principles of conflict or choice of laws. 

THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST IT AND RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND CONSENTS TO THE PLACING OF VENUE IN BERGEN COUNTY OR ANY OTHER COUNTY PERMITTED BY LAW. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, THAT THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, THAT THE VENUE OF THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER, OR THAT THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN MAY NOT BE LITIGATED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE BANK SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES NOT TO SEEK AND HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO ANY REVIEW OF THE JUDGMENT OF ANY SUCH COURT BY ANY COURT OF ANY OTHER NATION OR JURISDICTION WHICH MAY BE CALLED UPON TO GRANT AN ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH JUDGMENT. THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH BELOW OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS THAT THE UNDERSIGNED SHALL HAVE NOTIFIED THE BANK IN WRITING OR ANY METHOD AUTHORIZED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE. 

 

 

 The Bank shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights and/or remedies hereunder. No change, amendment, modification, termination, waiver, or discharge, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Bank, and if so given by the Bank, shall be effective only in the specific instance in which given. The undersigned acknowledges that this Note and the undersigned’s obligations under this Note are, and shall at all times continue to be, absolute and unconditional in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreements or circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense to this Note and the obligations of the undersigned under this Note. The undersigned absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any set-off, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Note or the undersigned’s obligations hereunder. 

 In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

 The undersigned hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor, and any and all other notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of this Note. 

 As used herein the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

 “Bank” shall be deemed to include the Bank, its successors and assigns and any holder hereof. 

 “Base Rate” shall mean, at any time, the greater of (a) the Prime Rate and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1⁄2 of 1%. Each change in the Base Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change or changes in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate. 

 “Business Day” means (a) a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New Jersey are authorized or required by law to close and (b) relative to the date of (i) continuing an Advance as, or converting an Advance to, a Eurodollar Advance, (ii) making any payment or prepayment of principal of or payment of interest on a Eurodollar Advance, or (iii) the undersigned giving any notice (or the number of Business Days to elapse prior to the effectiveness thereof) in connection with any matter referred to in (b)(i) or (b)(ii), any day on which dealings in U.S. dollars are carried on in the London interbank eurodollar market. 

 “Eurocurrency Reserve Requirement” means for any day as applied to a Eurodollar Advance, the aggregate (without duplication) of the rates (expressed as a decimal fraction) of reserve requirements in effect on such day (including, without limitation, basic, supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves under any regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto), as from time to time hereafter in effect, dealing with reserve requirements prescribed for eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency Liabilities” in Regulation D of such Board) maintained by a member bank of such system. 

 “Federal Funds Rate” means, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1%) representing the daily effective federal funds rate as quoted by Bank (or an affiliate of Bank) and confirmed in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15 (519) or any successor or substitute publication selected by Bank. If, for any reason, such rate is not available, then “Federal Funds Rate” means a daily rate which is determined, in the opinion of Bank, to be the rate at which federal funds are being offered for sale in the national federal funds market at 9:00 a.m. Rates for weekends or holidays shall be the same as the rate for the most immediate preceding Business Day. 

 “Interest Period” with respect to any Eurodollar Advance means: 

(a) Initially, the period commencing on the date such Eurodollar Advance is made and ending at least one (1) week but not more than ninety (90) days thereafter; and 

(b) thereafter, each period commencing on the last day of the next preceding Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Advance and ending at least one (1) week but not more than (90) days thereafter, as selected by the undersigned by irrevocable written notice to the Bank not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Advance; provided, however, that all of the foregoing provisions relating to Interest Periods are subject to the following: 

(i) if any Interest Period pertaining to a Eurodollar Advance would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, the Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to carry such Interest Period into another calendar month, in which event such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day; 

 

 

 (ii) if the undersigned shall fail to give notice as provided in clause (b) above, the undersigned shall be deemed to have requested conversion of the affected Eurodollar Advance to a Base Rate Advance on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto; 

 (iii) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of a calendar month; and 

(iv) no Interest Period may be selected which ends later than the Maturity Date. 

 “Leverage Ratio” shall have the definition ascribed thereto in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2004 (as amended by the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2005, the Second Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2005, and the Third Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2006, and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the undersigned, the lenders referred to therein, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, Bank of America, N.A, as
syndication agent, Calyon New York Branch, as syndication agent and an issuing lender, Bank, as documentation agent, and National City Bank, as documentation agent. 

 “Prime Rate” shall mean a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the prime rate of interest as published in the Money Rates column of the Wall Street Journal from time to time. Any change in the Prime Rate shall take effect on the date of the change in the Prime Rate. 

 “Libor Rate” shall mean with respect to the Interest Period pertaining to a Eurodollar Advance, the rate per annum equal to the quotient (rounded upwards to the next higher 1/16 of one percent) of (a) the annual rate of interest at which dollar deposits of an amount comparable to the amount of such Loan and for a period equal to the Interest Period applicable thereto are offered to the Bank in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day prior to the beginning of such Interest Period, divided by (b) a number equal to 1.00 minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirement, if any. 

 “Undersigned” shall mean, if this Note is signed by more than one party, unless otherwise stated herein, shall mean the “undersigned and each of them” and each undertaking herein contained shall be their joint and several undertaking. The Bank may proceed against one or more of the undersigned at one time or from time to time as it elects in its sole and absolute discretion. 

 In the event that the Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the undersigned) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate for any requested Interest Period or with respect to the continuation of a Eurodollar Advance beyond the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Bank shall forthwith give notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the undersigned. If such notice is given, any outstanding Eurodollar Advance shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to a Base Rate Advance. Such notice shall be withdrawn by the Bank when the Bank shall determine that adequate and reasonable means exist for ascertaining Libor Rate. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Note, if any change after the date hereof in law, rule, regulation, guideline or order or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, shall make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance, then, by written notice to the undersigned, the Bank may require that the Eurodollar Advance be converted to a Base Rate Advance, whereupon the Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Advance as of the date of such notice to the undersigned. 

 In the event that any change in applicable law or regulation, or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, shall impose on or deem applicable to the Bank any reserve requirements against this Note or the Line or impose upon the Bank any other costs or assessments, the undersigned shall pay to the Bank on demand an amount sufficient to compensate the Bank for the additional cost resulting from the maintenance or imposition of such reserves, costs or assessments. 

 Any consents, agreements, instructions or requests pertaining to any matter in connection with this Note, signed by any one of the undersigned, shall be binding upon all of the undersigned. This Note shall bind the respective successors, heirs or representatives of the undersigned. This Note and the Line shall not be assigned by the undersigned without the Bank’s prior written consent. 

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly executed this Note the day and year first above written.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 dated as of May 29, 2008 (this “Amendment”) to the Credit, Security, Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2006, as amended and restated as of April 13, 2007, among RHI Entertainment, LLC (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors referred to therein, the Lenders referred to therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Issuing Bank and as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”) (as the same has been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to this Amendment, the
“Credit Agreement”).

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

WHEREAS, the Lenders have made available to the Borrower certain credit facilities pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Required Lenders, the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent previously executed that certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of October 12, 2007 to this Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) which contemplated modifications to the Credit Agreement in connection with a proposed initial public offering described in the registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-146098) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) initially filed by RHI Inc. (as defined below) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 14, 2007, as subsequently amended to date
(the “Registration Statement”).

WHEREAS, Amendment No. 1 was executed by the Required Lenders, the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent, but the conditions to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 1 (other than the amendments contemplated by Sections 2(A)(3) and 2(A)(4) of Amendment No. 1) were not satisfied, and various amendments contemplated by Amendment No. 1 therefore have not yet been effectuated.

WHEREAS, the Borrower proposes that, in connection with the proposed initial public offering described below, the Parent undertake a reorganization as a result of which (a) the Parent will be renamed KRH Investments LLC (“KRH”), (b) KRH will transfer all of the Equity Interests in the Borrower to RHI Entertainment Holdings II, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings II”), which will become the sole direct parent of the Borrower, and (c) KRH and RHI Entertainment, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation (“RHI Inc.”), will become the sole members of Holdings II,
with RHI Inc. acting as the sole managing member of Holdings II.

WHEREAS, the Borrower proposes that (a) RHI Inc. consummate an initial public offering of its common stock registered under the Registration Statement filed with the SEC (together with any common stock of RHI Inc. registered under a registration statement filed in accordance with Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act), substantially all of the proceeds to RHI Inc. of which (after deducting underwriting discounts and

commissions, as well as fees and expenses incurred in connection with the proposed reorganization and the initial public offering transactions, including $6.0 million to be paid to the Kelso Group in exchange for the termination of the existing Management Agreement) will be contributed to Holdings II in exchange for membership interests in Holdings II, (b) Holdings II first may make a distribution to KRH as a reimbursement of certain capital expenditures previously made, and which, if made, will be used by KRH to repay the Parent Note Obligations and second, will contribute the remaining net proceeds to the Borrower, and (c) the Borrower will use all or a portion of such net proceeds received from Holdings II (together, at the Borrower’s option, with additional Indebtedness to be borrowed (x) under the Credit Agreement upon the effectiveness of this Amendment and/or (y) under a
new second lien term loan facility, each as further described below) to retire all of the Indebtedness outstanding under the Second Lien Facility as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date (and, to the extent that the remaining net proceeds from the initial public offering of RHI Inc. exceed the amount required to discharge the Indebtedness outstanding under the Second Lien Facility in full, such excess net proceeds, if any, may be retained by RHI Inc., Holdings II or the Borrower, as the case may be, and used for general corporate purposes).

WHEREAS, the Borrower proposes that the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent agree to amend the Credit Agreement to (a) make technical amendments, many of which were contemplated under the terms of Amendment No. 1, to facilitate the reorganization and the initial public offering of the common stock of RHI Inc. and the repayment of indebtedness under the “Second Lien Agreement” (as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement), (b) at the option of the Borrower, provide for an increase (in an amount of up to $75,000,000 in the aggregate) in Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the closing of the initial public offering contemplated thereby from $275,000,000 to an amount not to exceed $350,000,000, and (c) amend various other provisions
described herein.

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Guarantors and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given them in the Credit Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as amended by this Amendment).

SECTION 2. Amendments to the Credit Agreement Upon Effective Date. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof:
