	 	3.	 	FEES AND EXPENSES.

(a) The Company agrees to reimburse the Investor for the actual and anticipated legal fees and expenses of Bingham
McCutchen LLP (“Bingham”) and any third party advisors incurred on a pre-petition basis through December 11, 2009 and including,
but not limited to, in connection with the review and negotiation of this Agreement and the review and negotiation of
certain other agreements and strategies with respect to the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets,
such legal fees and third party advisor fees not to exceed $150,000 in the aggregate (the “Legal Fees”). The first
$100,000 of the Legal Fees shall be paid on November 16, 2009 via wire transfer to an account designated by the
Investor. The remaining $50,000 shall be paid, in the same manner as the first installment, immediately upon receipt
by the Company of a request from the Investor accompanied by a
reasonably detailed description (as determined by Investor in its
sole and absolute discretion) as to how the first
installment was applied. It is acknowledged and agreed by the Company that (i) if either the November 16, 2009
installment or the second installment is not received by the Investor in accordance with terms of this Section 3(a),
this will automatically represent and give effect to an Event of Default under Sections 4(v) and 4(x) of the Amended
and Restated Note; and (ii) the Investor, Bingham and any advisors engaged on their behalf shall be under no obligation
to undertake the negotiations contemplated by this Section 3(a) upon the first installment being exhausted and/or the
second installment not being timely received (it being understood,
however, that (y) the Investor, Bingham and any advisor engaged on
their behalf are not under any such obligation in any event, and (z) any unused portion of the Legal Fees
shall be returned to the Company).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt and by way of further confirmation of the terms of Section 1(b) above, this
Agreement in no way modifies, amends, limits or affects the rights of the Investor to receive payment of, and the
obligations of the Company to pay, the costs, fees and expenses of the Investor as set forth in the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Amendment and Exchange Agreement and each other Transaction Document and the Security Documents, as
applicable.

	 	4.	 	INSTALLMENT NOTICE.

Effective as of the date hereof (but only if $100,000 of the Legal Fees have been paid on November 16, 2009), the
Investor shall be deemed to have rescinded its Installment Notice dated November 12, 2009.

	 	5.	 	MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each
party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall
be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a
facsimile signature.

(b) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of,
or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(c) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited,
invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and
enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change,
the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or
reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred
upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or
unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the
prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or
any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New
York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in
The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices
to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner
permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL
FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(e) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be
enforced by, any other Person.

(f) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such
further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and
documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen
by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(h) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
and their respective successors and assigns in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

defined), Egami Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Egami”), Image Entertainment (UK), Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Image (UK)”), Home Vision Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HVE”
and together with Egami and Image (UK), each individually a “Guarantor” and collectively,
“Guarantors” as hereinafter further defined), the parties hereto from time to time as lenders,
whether by execution of this Agreement or an Assignment and Acceptance (each individually, a
“Lender” and collectively, “Lenders” as hereinafter further defined) and Wachovia Capital Finance
Corporation (Western), a California corporation, in its capacity as agent for Lenders (in such
capacity, “Agent” as hereinafter further defined).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Administrative Borrower and Guarantors have requested that Agent and Lenders enter
into financing arrangements with Administrative Borrower pursuant to which Lenders may make loans
and provide other financial accommodations to Administrative Borrower; and

WHEREAS, each Lender is willing to agree (severally and not jointly) to make such loans and
provide such financial accommodations to Administrative Borrower on a pro rata basis according to
its Commitment (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth herein and Agent is willing
to act as agent for Lenders on the terms and conditions set forth herein and the other Financing
Agreements;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth herein, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the respective meanings given
to them below:

1.1 “Accounts” shall mean, as to each Borrower and Guarantor, all present and future rights of
such Borrower and Guarantor to payment of a monetary obligation, whether or not earned by
performance, which is not evidenced by chattel paper or an instrument, (a) for property that has
been or is to be sold, leased, licensed, assigned, or otherwise disposed of, (b) for services
rendered or to be rendered, (c) for a secondary obligation incurred or to be incurred, or (d)
arising out of the use of a credit or charge card or information contained on or for use with the
card.

 

 

 

1.2 “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” shall mean, with respect to each Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Rate Loan comprising part of the same borrowing (including conversions, extensions and
renewals), the rate per annum determined by dividing (a) the London Interbank Offered Rate for such
Interest Period by (b) a percentage equal to: (i) one (1) minus (ii) the
Reserve Percentage. For purposes hereof, “Reserve Percentage” shall mean for any day, that
percentage, (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect from time to time under Regulation D of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), as such regulation may be
amended from time to time or any successor regulation, as the maximum reserve requirement
(including, without limitation, any basic, supplemental, emergency, special, or marginal reserves)
applicable with respect to Eurocurrency liabilities as that term is defined in Regulation D (or
against any other category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which the interest
rate of Eurodollar Loans is determined), whether or not any Lender has any Eurocurrency liabilities
subject to such reserve requirement at that time. Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to constitute
Eurocurrency liabilities and as such shall be deemed subject to reserve requirements without
benefits of credits for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to
a Lender. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective
date of any change in the Reserve Percentage.

1.3 “Administrative Borrower” shall mean Image Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation in
its capacity as Administrative Borrower on behalf of itself and any other Borrowers pursuant to
Section 6.8 hereof and it successors and assigns in such capacity.

1.4 “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to a specified Person, any other Person which
directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is
under common control with such Person, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
includes (a) any Person which beneficially owns or holds five (5%) percent or more of any class of
Voting Stock of such Person or other equity interests in such Person, (b) any Person of which such
Person beneficially owns or holds five (5%) percent or more of any class of Voting Stock or in
which such Person beneficially owns or holds five (5%) percent or more of the equity interests and
(c) any director or executive officer of such Person. For the purposes of this definition, the
term “control” (including with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common
control with”), as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly,
of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person,
whether through the ownership of Voting Stock, by agreement or otherwise.

1.5 “Agent” shall mean Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Western) in its capacity as agent
on behalf of Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof and any replacement or successor agent hereunder.

1.6 “Agent Payment Account” shall mean account no. 5000000030321 of Agent at Wachovia Bank,
National Association, or such other account of Agent as Agent may from time to time designate to
Administrative Borrower as the Agent Payment Account for purposes of this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements.

such Person at a fair valuation (and including as assets for this purpose at a fair valuation all
rights of subrogation, contribution or indemnification arising pursuant to any guarantees given by
such Person) are greater than the Indebtedness of such Person, and including subordinated and
contingent liabilities computed at the amount which, such person has a reasonable basis to believe,
represents an amount which can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (and
including as to contingent liabilities arising pursuant to any guarantee the face amount of such
liability as reduced to reflect the probability of it becoming a matured liability).

SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES

2.1 Loans.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, each Lender severally (and
not jointly) agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of Revolving Loans to each Borrower from time to
time in amounts requested by such Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower)
up to the aggregate amount outstanding for all Lenders at any time equal to the lesser of: (i) the
Borrowing Base of such Borrower at such time or (ii) the Revolving Loan Limit of such Borrower at
such time.

(b) Except in Agent’s discretion, with the consent of all Lenders, or as otherwise provided
herein, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations
outstanding at any time to a Borrower shall not exceed the Borrowing Base of such Borrower, and
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations
outstanding at any time to a Borrower shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Limit of such Borrower.

(c) In the event that except as otherwise provided herein, the aggregate principal amount of
the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding to a Borrower exceeds the
Borrowing Base of such Borrower or the Revolving Loan Limit of such Borrower, such event shall not
limit, waive or otherwise affect any rights of Agent or Lenders in such circumstances or on any
future occasions and Borrowers shall, upon demand by Agent, which may be made at any time or from
time to time, immediately repay to Agent the entire amount of any such excess(es) for which payment
is demanded.

2.2 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Letter of Credit
Documents, at the request of a Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower),
Agent agrees to provide or arrange for the account of such Borrower one or more Letters of Credit,
for the ratable risk of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share, containing terms and
conditions acceptable to Agent and the issuer thereof.

 

23

 

(b) The Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of
such Borrower) shall give Agent three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such Borrower’s
request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit. Such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the
effective date (which date shall be a Business Day and in no event shall be a date less than ten
(10) days prior to the end of the then current term of this Agreement) of issuance of such
requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial
draws, the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a
Business Day and shall not be more than one year from the date of issuance), the purpose for which
such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit. The
Borrower requesting the Letter of Credit (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower)
shall attach to such notice the proposed terms of the Letter of Credit. The renewal or extension
of any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the
issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder.

(c) In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent
contained in Section 4 hereof and the other terms and conditions contained herein, no Letter of
Credit shall be available unless each of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied in
a manner satisfactory to Agent: (i) the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit (or
Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) shall have delivered to the proposed issuer of
such Letter of Credit at such times and in such manner as such proposed issuer may require, an
application, in form and substance satisfactory to such proposed issuer and Agent, for the issuance
of the Letter of Credit and such other Letter of Credit Documents as may be required pursuant to
the terms thereof, and the form and terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to
Agent and such proposed issuer; (ii) as of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator
or other Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks
generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of
Credit, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks generally and no request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall prohibit, or request that the proposed issuer
of such Letter of Credit refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance
of such Letters of Credit; (iii) after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the
Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Limit; and (iv) the Excess
Availability of the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit, prior to giving effect to any
Reserves with respect to such Letter of Credit, on the date of the proposed issuance of any Letter
of Credit, shall be equal to or greater than an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the
Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto. Effective on the issuance of each Letter of
Credit, a Reserve shall be established in the applicable amount set forth above.

(d) Except in Agent’s discretion, with the consent of all Lenders, the amount of all
outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Limit.

 

24

 

(e) Each Borrower shall reimburse immediately the issuer of a Letter of Credit for any draw
under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such issuer and pay such
issuer the amount of all other charges and fees payable to issuer in connection with any Letter of
Credit issued for the account of such Borrower immediately when due, irrespective of any claim,
setoff, defense or other right which such Borrower may have at any time against the issuer or any
other Person. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit or
other amount payable in connection therewith when due shall constitute a request by the
Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued to Agent for a Prime Rate Loan in the
amount of such drawing or other amount then due and shall be made by Agent on behalf of Lenders as
a Revolving Loan (or Special Agent Advance, as the case may be). The date of such Loan shall be the
date of the drawing or as to other amounts, the due date therefor. Any payments made by or on
behalf of Agent or any Lender to an issuer and/or related parties in connection with any Letter of
Credit shall constitute additional Revolving Loans to such Borrower pursuant to this Section 2 (or
Special Agent Advances as the case may be).

(f) Borrowers and Guarantors shall indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses which Agent or any
Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit and any documents, drafts or
acceptances relating thereto, including any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and
expenses due to any action taken by any issuer or correspondent with respect to any Letter of
Credit, except for such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses that are a direct
result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined pursuant
to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Borrower and Guarantor
assumes all risks with respect to the acts or omissions of the drawer under or beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit and for such purposes the drawer or beneficiary shall be deemed such Borrower’s
agent. Each Borrower and Guarantor assumes all risks for, and agrees to pay, all foreign, Federal,
State and local taxes, duties and levies relating to any goods subject to any Letter of Credit or
any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby releases and
holds Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any acts, waivers, errors, delays or omissions
with respect to or relating to any Letter of Credit, except for the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a
court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section 2.2(f) shall survive the payment
of Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(g) In connection with Inventory purchased pursuant to any Letter of Credit, Borrowers and
Guarantors shall, at Agent’s request, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, customs
brokers, warehouses or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or
instruments in which Agent holds a security interest that upon Agent’s request, such items are to
be delivered to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order, and if they shall come into such Borrower’s
or Guarantor’s possession, to deliver them, upon Agent’s request, to Agent in their original form.
Except as otherwise provided herein, Agent shall not exercise such right to request such items so
long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing. Except as
Agent may otherwise specify, Borrowers shall designate Agent or the issuer of the Letter of Credit
related thereto, as the consignee on all bills of lading and other negotiable and non-negotiable
documents.

 

25

 

(h) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any issuer of a
Letter of Credit to name such Borrower or Guarantor as the account party therein and to deliver to
Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by issuer pursuant to the
Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to
all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit Documents with
respect thereto. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or
construed to grant any Borrower or Guarantor any right or authority to pledge the credit of
Agent or any Lender in any manner. Agent and Lenders shall have no liability of any kind with
respect to any Letter of Credit provided by an issuer unless Agent has duly executed and delivered
to such issuer the application or a guarantee or indemnification in writing with respect to such
Letter of Credit. Borrowers and Guarantors shall be bound by any reasonable interpretation made in
good faith by Agent, or any other issuer or correspondent under or in connection with any Letter of
Credit or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such interpretation
may be inconsistent with any instructions of any Borrower or Guarantor.

(i) Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be
deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit and the obligations of Borrowers with respect
thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto). Each Lender shall
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be
obligated to pay to the issuer of any such Letter of Credit therefor and discharge when due, its
Pro Rata Share of all of such obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting
the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the
issuer has not been reimbursed or otherwise paid as required hereunder or under any such Letter of
Credit, each such Lender shall pay to the issuer its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed drawing or
other amounts then due to issuer in connection therewith.

(j) The obligations of Borrowers to pay each Letter of Credit Obligations and the obligations
of Lenders to make payments to Agent for the account of any issuer with respect to Letters of
Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances, whatsoever,
notwithstanding the occurrence or continuance of any Default, Event of Default, the failure to
satisfy any other condition set forth in Section 4 or any other event or circumstance. If such
amount is not made available by a Lender when due, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount
on demand from such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was due
until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the interest rate then payable by any Borrower in
respect of Loans that are Prime Rate Loans. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of Borrowers to reimburse the issuer under any Letter of Credit or make any
other payment in connection therewith.

(k) Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by any Borrower to any
issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit, or any other agreement in
favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to have been
granted or undertaken by such Borrower to Agent. Any duties or obligations undertaken by Agent to
any issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit, or any other agreement by
Agent in favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to
have been undertaken by Borrowers to Agent and to apply in all respects to Borrowers.

2.3 Commitments. The aggregate amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans
and Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s
Commitment, as the same may from time to time be amended in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

 

26

 

SECTION 3. INTEREST AND FEES

3.1
Interest.

(a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, interest on the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans at the Interest Rate. All interest accruing hereunder on and after
the date of any Event of Default or termination hereof shall be payable on demand.

(b) Each Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) may from time to
time request Eurodollar Rate Loans or may request that Prime Rate Loans be converted to Eurodollar
Rate Loans or that any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period.
Such request from a Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) shall specify
the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of the Prime Rate Loans to be converted to
Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to be continued (subject to the
limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after receipt by
Agent of such a request from a Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower),
such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Rate
Loans or such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be, provided,
that, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing,
(ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement, (iii) such
Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) shall have complied with such
customary procedures as are established by Agent and specified by Agent to Administrative Borrower
from time to time for requests by Borrowers for Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) no more than four (4)
Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, (v) the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate
Loans must be in an amount not less than $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, (vi) the maximum amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans in the aggregate at any time
requested by Borrowers shall not exceed the amount equal to eighty (80%) percent of the lowest
principal amount of the Revolving Loans which it is anticipated will be outstanding during the
applicable Interest Period, in each case as determined by Agent in good faith (but with no
obligation of Agent or Lenders to make such Loans), and (vii) Agent and each Lender shall have
determined that the Interest Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is available to Agent and such
Lender and can be readily determined as of the date of the request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by
such Borrower. Any request by or on behalf of a Borrower for Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert
Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall
not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other
applicable Eurodollar Rate market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof
shall be deemed to apply as if Agent and Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar
Rate Loans.

 

27

 

(c) Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the last
day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Agent has received and
approved a request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days
prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, at
Agent’s option, upon notice by Agent to Parent, be subsequently converted to Prime Rate Loans in
the event that this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for
the benefit of Lenders, upon demand by Agent (or Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account
of any Borrower) any amounts required to compensate any Lender or Participant for any loss
(including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of
the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.

(d) Interest shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent, for the account of Lenders, monthly in
arrears not later than the first day of each calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of
a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. The interest rate on non-contingent
Obligations (other than Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to
each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the day any change in such Prime Rate is
announced. In no event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrowers to Agent and
Lenders exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and
if any such part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation,
such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto.

3.2 Fees.

(a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, monthly an unused line fee at a
rate equal to three-eighths of one (0.375%) percent per annum calculated upon the amount by which
the aggregate sum of the Revolving Loan Limits for all Borrowers exceeds the average daily
principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit during the immediately
preceding month (or part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as
any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be payable on the first day of each month
in arrears.

(b) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, a fee at a per annum rate equal
to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the average daily maximum amount available
to be drawn under all of such Letters of Credit for the immediately preceding month (or part
thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding month, computed for each day
from the date of issuance to the date of expiration; except that Borrowers shall pay, at Agent’s
option, without notice, such fee at a rate two (2%) percent greater than the otherwise applicable
rate on such average daily maximum amount for: (i) the period from and after the date of
termination or non-renewal hereof until Lenders have received full and final payment of all
Obligations (notwithstanding entry of a judgment against any Borrower or Guarantor) and (ii) the
period from and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default for so long as such Event
of Default is continuing as determined by Agent. Such letter of credit fees shall be calculated on
the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of
Borrowers to pay such fee shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. In
addition to the letter of credit fees provided above, Borrowers shall pay to the issuer of any
Letter of Credit for its own account (without sharing with Lenders) the letter of credit fronting
and negotiation fees agreed to by Borrowers and such
issuer from time to time and the customary charges from time to time of such issuer with
respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and
drawings under, such Letters of Credit.

 

28

 

(c) Borrowers shall pay to Agent the other fees and amounts set forth in the Fee Letter in the
amounts and at the times specified therein. To the extent payment in full of the applicable fee is
received by Agent from Borrowers on or about the date hereof, Agent shall pay to each Lender its
share of such fees in accordance with the terms of the arrangements of Agent with such Lender.

3.3 Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans.

(a) If after the date hereof, either (i) any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law
or regulation is introduced, including, without limitation, with respect to reserve requirements,
applicable to any Lender or any banking or financial institution from whom any Lender borrows funds
or obtains credit (a “Funding Bank”), or (ii) a Funding Bank or any Lender complies with any future
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (iii) a Funding Bank
or any Lender determines that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof has or would have the effect described below, or a Funding
Bank or any Lender complies with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, and in the
case of any event set forth in this clause (iii), such adoption, change or compliance has or would
have the direct or indirect effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Funding Bank’s
or Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be
material, and the result of any of the foregoing events described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) is
or results in an increase in the cost to any Lender of funding or maintaining the Loans, the
Letters of Credit or its Commitment, then Borrowers and Guarantors shall from time to time upon
demand by Agent pay to Agent additional amounts sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such
increased cost on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits
in respect of the amount indemnified). A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall
be submitted to Administrative Borrower by Agent or the applicable Lender and shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error.

(b) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (i) Agent shall have determined in good
faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers and Guarantors) that, by
reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, (ii) Agent has received
notice from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined
for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of making or
maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans during such Interest Period, or (iii) Dollar deposits in the
principal amounts of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to which such Interest Period is to be applicable
are not generally available in the London interbank
market, Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Administrative Borrower as
soon as practicable thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to Administrative Borrower
when such conditions no longer exist. If such notice is given (A) any Eurodollar Rate Loans
requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Prime Rate Loans,
(B) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or
continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued as Prime Rate Loans and (C)
each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current
Interest Period thereof, to Prime Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Agent, no
further Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower (or
Administrative Borrower on behalf of any Borrower) have the right to convert Prime Rate Loans to
Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

29

 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any law,
treaty, rule or regulation or final, non-appealable determination of an arbitrator or a court or
other Governmental Authority or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the
date hereof shall make it unlawful for Agent or any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) Agent or such Lender shall promptly give written
notice of such circumstances to Administrative Borrower (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever
such circumstances no longer exist), (ii) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make
Eurodollar Rate Loans, continue Eurodollar Rate Loans as such and convert Prime Rate Loans to
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be
unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall then have a
commitment only to make a Prime Rate Loan when a Eurodollar Rate Loan is requested and (iii) such
Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically
to Prime Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect
to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto, Borrowers and Guarantors shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as
may be required pursuant to Section 3.3(d) below.

(d) Borrowers and Guarantors shall indemnify Agent and each Lender and to hold Agent and each
Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a
consequence of (i) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or extension of
Eurodollar Rate Loans after such Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower)
has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement,
(ii) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan after such Borrower
has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) the
making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest
Period with respect thereto. With respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, such indemnification may
include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or extended, for the period from
the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or extend to the last day of the
applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or extend, the Interest
Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate
of interest for such Eurodollar Rate Loans provided for herein over (B) the amount of interest (as
determined by such Agent or such
Lender) which would have accrued to Agent or such Lender on such amount by placing such amount
on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. This
covenant shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the payment of the
Obligations.

(a) all Accounts;

(b) all general intangibles, including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property;

34

 

5.2 Perfection of Security Interests.

(a) Each Borrower and Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Agent (or its
agent) to file at any time and from time to time such financing statements with respect to the
Collateral naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor as
debtor, as Agent may require, and including any other information with respect to such Borrower or
Guarantor or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such
jurisdiction as Agent may determine, together with any amendment and continuations with respect
thereto, which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on, prior to or after
the date hereof. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby ratifies and approves all financing statements
naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be,
as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing
statements) filed by or on behalf of Agent prior to the date hereof and ratifies and confirms the
authorization of Agent to file such financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Borrower
and Guarantor hereby authorizes Agent to adopt on behalf of such Borrower and Guarantor any symbol
required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the
collateral in any financing statement naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and any
Borrower or Guarantor as debtor includes assets and properties of such Borrower or Guarantor that
do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Financing
Agreements or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed
authorized by such Borrower or Guarantor to the extent of the Collateral included in such
description and it shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral
or otherwise affect the financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event
shall any Borrower or Guarantor at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction
statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or
continuation with respect thereto) naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower
or Guarantor as debtor.

(b) Each Borrower and Guarantor does not have any chattel paper (whether tangible or
electronic) or instruments as of the date hereof, except as set forth in the Information
Certificate. In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall be entitled to or shall receive any
chattel paper or instrument after the date hereof, Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly notify
Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of any Borrower or
Guarantor (including by any agent or representative), such Borrower or Guarantor shall deliver, or
cause to be delivered to Agent, all tangible chattel paper and instruments that such Borrower or
Guarantor has or may at any time acquire, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment
duly executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify, in each case except as Agent may
otherwise agree. At Agent’s option, each Borrower and Guarantor shall, or Agent may at any time on
behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor, cause the original of any such instrument or chattel paper to
be conspicuously marked in a form and manner acceptable to Agent with the following legend
referring to chattel paper or instruments as applicable: “This [chattel paper][instrument] is
subject to the security interest of Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation and any sale, transfer,
assignment or encumbrance of this [chattel paper][instrument] violates the rights of such secured
party.”

 

35

 

(c) In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall at any time hold or acquire an interest
in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record” (as such term is
defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce
Act or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction), such Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly
upon Agent’s request, such Borrower or Guarantor shall take, or cause to be taken, such actions as
Agent may request to give Agent control of such electronic chattel paper under Section 9-105 of the
UCC and control of such transferable record under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction.

(d) Each Borrower and Guarantor does not have any deposit accounts as of the date hereof,
except as set forth in the Information Certificate. Borrowers and Guarantors shall not, directly
or indirectly, after the date hereof open, establish or maintain any deposit account unless each of
the following conditions is satisfied: (i) Agent shall have received not less than five (5)
Business Days prior written notice of the intention of any Borrower or Guarantor to open or
establish such account which notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity acceptable
to Agent the name of the account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the bank at
which such account is to be opened or established, the individual at such bank with whom such
Borrower or Guarantor is dealing and the purpose of the account, (ii) the bank where such account
is opened or maintained shall be acceptable to Agent, and (iii) on or before the opening of such
deposit account, such Borrower or Guarantor shall as Agent may specify either (A) deliver to Agent
a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such deposit account duly authorized, executed
and delivered by such Borrower or Guarantor and the bank at which such deposit account is opened
and maintained or (B) arrange for Agent to become the customer of the bank with respect to the
deposit account on terms and conditions acceptable to Agent. The terms of this subsection (d) shall
not apply to deposit accounts specifically and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and
other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s
salaried employees.

(e) No Borrower or Guarantor owns or holds, directly or indirectly, beneficially or as record
owner or both, any investment property, as of the date hereof, or have any investment account,
securities account, commodity account or other similar account with any bank or other financial
institution or other securities intermediary or commodity intermediary as of the date hereof, in
each case except as set forth in the Information Certificate.

(i) In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall be entitled to or shall at any time
after the date hereof hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Borrower or Guarantor shall
promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer
or assignment duly executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities,
now or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or Guarantor are uncertificated and are issued to such
Borrower or Guarantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Borrower or Guarantor
shall immediately notify Agent thereof and shall as Agent may specify, either (A) cause the issuer
to agree to comply with instructions from Agent as to such securities, without further consent of
any Borrower or Guarantor or such nominee, or (B) arrange for Agent to become the registered owner
of the securities.

 

36

 

(ii) Borrowers and Guarantors shall not, directly or indirectly, after the date hereof open,
establish or maintain any investment account, securities account, commodity
account or any other similar account (other than a deposit account) with any securities
intermediary or commodity intermediary unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: (A)
Agent shall have received not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the
intention of such Borrower or Guarantor to open or establish such account which notice shall
specify in reasonable detail and specificity acceptable to Agent the name of the account, the owner
of the account, the name and address of the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary at
which such account is to be opened or established, the individual at such intermediary with whom
such Borrower or Guarantor is dealing and the purpose of the account, (B) the securities
intermediary or commodity intermediary (as the case may be) where such account is opened or
maintained shall be acceptable to Agent, and (C) on or before the opening of such investment
account, securities account or other similar account with a securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, such Borrower or Guarantor shall as Agent may specify either (i) execute and deliver,
and cause to be executed and delivered to Agent, an Investment Property Control Agreement with
respect thereto duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Borrower or Guarantor and such
securities intermediary or commodity intermediary or (ii) arrange for Agent to become the
entitlement holder with respect to such investment property on terms and conditions acceptable to
Agent.

(f) Borrowers and Guarantors are not the beneficiary or otherwise entitled to any right to
payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument as of the date
hereof, except as set forth in Schedule 5.2(f) hereto. In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor
shall be entitled to or shall receive any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker’s
acceptance or any similar instrument, whether as beneficiary thereof or otherwise after the date
hereof, such Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Such Borrower
or Guarantor shall immediately, as Agent may specify, either (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered
to Agent, with respect to any such letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument, the
written agreement of the issuer and any other nominated person obligated to make any payment in
respect thereof (including any confirming or negotiating bank), in form and substance satisfactory
to Agent, consenting to the assignment of the proceeds of the letter of credit to Agent by such
Borrower or Guarantor and agreeing to make all payments thereon directly to Agent or as Agent may
otherwise direct or (ii) cause Agent to become, at Borrowers’ expense, the transferee beneficiary
of the letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument (as the case may be).

(g) Borrowers and Guarantors do not have any commercial tort claims as of the date hereof,
except as set forth in the Information Certificate. In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor
shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims, such Borrower or Guarantor
shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, which notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for and nature of such commercial tort claim and (ii) include the express grant by
such Borrower or Guarantor to Agent of a security interest in such commercial tort claim (and the
proceeds thereof). In the event that such notice does not include such grant of a security
interest, the sending thereof by such Borrower or Guarantor to Agent shall be deemed to constitute
such grant to Agent. Upon the sending of such notice, any commercial tort claim described therein
shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall be deemed included therein. Without limiting the
authorization of Agent provided in Section 5.2(a) hereof or otherwise arising by the execution by
such Borrower or Guarantor of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized from time to
time and at any time to file such financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured
party and such Borrower or Guarantor as debtor, or any amendments to any financing statements,
covering any such commercial tort claim as Collateral. In addition, each Borrower and Guarantor
shall promptly upon Agent’s request, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to
Agent such other agreements, documents and instruments as Agent may require in connection with such
commercial tort claim.

 

37

 

(h) Borrowers and Guarantors do not have any goods, documents of title or other Collateral in
the custody, control or possession of a third party as of the date hereof, except as set forth in
the Information Certificate and except for goods located in the United States in transit to a
location of a Borrower or Guarantor permitted herein in the ordinary course of business of such
Borrower or Guarantor in the possession of the carrier transporting such goods. In the event that
any goods, documents of title or other Collateral are at any time after the date hereof in the
custody, control or possession of any other person not referred to in the Information Certificate
or such carriers, Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing.
Promptly upon Agent’s request, Borrowers and Guarantors shall deliver to Agent a Collateral Access
Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by such person and the Borrower or Guarantor that
is the owner of such Collateral.

(i) Borrowers and Guarantors shall take any other actions reasonably requested by Agent from
time to time to cause the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Agent to
enforce, the security interest of Agent in any and all of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and
amendments relating thereto under the UCC or other applicable law, to the extent, if any, that any
Borrower’s or Guarantor’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) causing Agent’s name to be
noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a
condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce, the security
interest of Agent in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation
or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a
condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce, the security
interest of Agent in such Collateral, (iv) obtaining the consents and approvals of any Governmental
Authority or third party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or
other person obligated on Collateral, and taking all actions required by any earlier versions of
the UCC or by other law, as applicable in any relevant jurisdiction.

SECTION 6. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION

6.1 Borrowers’ Loan Accounts. Agent shall maintain one or more loan account(s) on its
books in which shall be recorded (a) all Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations and the
Collateral, (b) all payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor and (c) all other
appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including fees, charges, costs,
expenses and interest. All entries in the loan account(s) shall be made in accordance with Agent’s
customary practices as in effect from time to time.

6.2 Statements. Agent shall render to Administrative Borrower each month a statement
setting forth the balance in the Borrowers’ loan account(s) maintained by Agent for Borrowers
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs
and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Agent but
shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrowers
and Guarantors and conclusively binding upon Borrowers and Guarantors as an account stated except
to the extent that Agent receives a written notice from Administrative Borrower of any specific
exceptions of Administrative Borrower thereto within thirty (30) days after the date such statement
has been received by Parent. Until such time as Agent shall have rendered to Administrative
Borrower a written statement as provided above, the balance in any Borrower’s loan account(s) shall
be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by Borrowers and
Guarantors.

 

38

 

6.3 Collection of Accounts.

(a) Borrowers shall establish and maintain, at their expense, blocked accounts or lockboxes
and related blocked accounts (in either case, “Blocked Accounts”), as Agent may specify, with such
banks as are acceptable to Agent into which Borrowers shall promptly deposit and direct their
respective account debtors to directly remit all payments on Receivables and all payments
constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral in the identical form in which such payments
are made, whether by cash, check or other manner. Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered to Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by
each bank where a Blocked Account is maintained as provided in Section 5.2 hereof or at any time
and from time to time Agent may become the bank’s customer with respect to any of the Blocked
Accounts and promptly upon Agent’s request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver such agreements and
documents as Agent may require in connection therewith. Each Borrower and Guarantor agrees that
all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Agent or any
Lender, whether in respect of the Receivables, as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or
otherwise shall be treated as payments to Agent and Lenders in respect of the Obligations and
therefore shall constitute the property of Agent and Lenders to the extent of the then outstanding
Obligations.

(b) For purposes of calculating the amount of the Loans available to each Borrower, such
payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations on the Business Day
of receipt by Agent of immediately available funds in the Agent Payment Account provided such
payments and notice thereof are received in accordance with Agent’s usual and customary practices
as in effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit such Borrower’s loan account on
such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day. For the purposes of calculating interest on
the Obligations, such payments or other funds received will be applied (conditional upon final
collection) to the Obligations one (1) Business Day following the date of receipt of immediately
available funds by Agent in the Agent Payment Account provided such payments or other funds and
notice thereof are received in accordance with Agent’s usual and customary practices as in effect
from time to time and within sufficient time to credit such Borrower’s loan account on such day,
and if not, then on the next Business Day. In the event that at any time or from time to time
there are no Revolving Loans outstanding, Agent shall be entitled to an administrative fee in an
amount calculated based on the Interest Rate for Prime Rate Loans (on a per annum basis) multiplied
by the amount of the funds received in the Blocked Account for such day as calculated by Agent in
accordance with its customary practice. The economic benefit of the timing in the application of
payments (and the administrative charge with respect thereto, if applicable) shall be for the sole
benefit of Agent.

 

39

 

(c) Each Borrower and Guarantor and their respective employees, agents and Subsidiaries shall,
acting as trustee for Agent, receive, as the property of Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts
or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into
their possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or
cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be
remitted, in kind, to Agent. In no event shall the same be commingled with any Borrower’s or
Guarantor’s own funds. Borrowers agree to reimburse Agent on demand for any amounts owed or paid
to any bank or other financial institution at which a Blocked Account or any other deposit account
or investment account is established or any other bank, financial institution or other person
involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Agent’s payments
to or indemnification of such bank, financial institution or other person. The obligations of
Borrowers to reimburse Agent for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

6.4 Payments.

(a) All Obligations shall be payable to the Agent Payment Account as provided in Section 6.3
or such other place as Agent may designate from time to time. Subject to the other terms and
conditions contained herein, Agent shall apply payments received or collected from any Borrower or
Guarantor or for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor (including the monetary proceeds of
collections or of realization upon any Collateral) as follows: first, to pay any fees,
indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank from any Borrower
or Guarantor; second, to pay interest due in respect of any Loans (and including any
Special Agent Advances) or Letter of Credit Obligations; third, to pay or prepay principal
in respect of Special Agent Advances; fourth, to pay principal due in respect of the Loans
and to pay Obligations then due arising under or pursuant to any Hedge Agreements of a Borrower or
Guarantor with Agent or a Bank Product Provider (up to the amount of any then effective Reserve
established in respect of such Obligations), on a pro rata basis; fifth, to
pay or prepay any other Obligations whether or not then due, in such order and manner as Agent
determines and at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, to provide
cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations or other contingent Obligations (but not
including for this purpose any Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Bank Products); and
sixth, to pay or prepay any Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Bank Products
(other than to the extent provided for above) on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) unless so directed by Administrative
Borrower, or unless a Default or an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be
continuing, Agent shall not apply any payments which it receives to any Eurodollar Rate Loans,
except (A) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Rate
Loans or (B) in the event that there are no outstanding Prime Rate Loans and (ii) to the extent any
Borrower uses any proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit to acquire rights in or the use of any
Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral,
payments in respect of the Obligations shall be deemed applied first to the Obligations arising
from Loans and Letters of Credit that were not used for such purposes and second to the Obligations
arising from Loans and Letters of Credit the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or
the use of any Collateral in the chronological order in which such Borrower acquired such rights in
or the use of such Collateral.

 

40

 

(b) At Agent’s option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges
provided for in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements may be charged directly to the
loan account(s) of any Borrower maintained by Agent. If after receipt of any payment of, or
proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, Agent or any Lender is
required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the
Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue
and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not
been received by Agent or such Lender. Borrowers and Guarantors shall be liable to pay to Agent,
and do hereby indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless for the amount of any payments or
proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.4(b) shall remain effective notwithstanding any
contrary action which may be taken by Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or
proceeds. This Section 6.4 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of
this Agreement.

6.5 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any of the Obligations shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff, counterclaim,
defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, charges, withholdings, liabilities,
restrictions or conditions of any kind, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and Agent (A)
taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any
political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) is
organized and (B) any United States withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the
Financing Agreements under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the date
hereof (or, in the case of an Eligible Transferee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance)
applicable to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any United States
withholding taxes payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the date hereof
(or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes measured
by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection
between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, fees,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable
in respect of the Obligations to any Lender or Agent (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 6.5), such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the
relevant Borrower or Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Borrower or Guarantor
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law and (iv) the relevant Borrower or Guarantor shall deliver to Agent
evidence of such payment.

(c) In addition, each Borrower and Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United
States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction,
and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made hereunder
or under any of the other Financing Agreements or from the execution, delivery or registration of,
or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements
(collectively, “Other Taxes”).

 

41

 

(d) Each Borrower and Guarantor shall indemnify each Lender and Agent for the full amount of
Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 6.5) paid by such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) and any liability
(including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be
made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) makes written
demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
Administrative Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent) or by Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower or
Guarantor, such Borrower or Guarantor shall furnish to Agent, at its address referred to herein,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements of any Borrower or Guarantor
hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements, the agreements and obligations of such
Borrower or Guarantor contained in this Section 6.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment in full of the Obligations.

(g) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any
of the other Financing Agreements shall deliver to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Agent),
at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Administrative
Borrower or Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by the recipient), whichever
of the following is applicable (but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so): (i)
duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming exemption from, or a
reduction to, withholding tax under an income tax treaty, or any successor form, (ii) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 8-8ECI claiming exemption from withholding
because the income is effectively connection with a U.S. trade or business or any successor form,
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate of the Lender to the effect that
such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent
shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled
foreign corporation” described and Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies
of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio
interest exemption or any successor form or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document
prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed
by applicable law to permit a Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made. Unless Administrative Borrower and Agent have received forms or other
documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder or under any of the other
Financing Agreements to or for a Foreign Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax or
are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, Borrowers or Agent shall
withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable requirements of law from such payments at
the applicable statutory rate.

 

42

 

(h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall use
its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions)
to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a change would
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or
may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.

6.6 Authorization to Make Loans. Agent and Lenders are authorized to make the Loans
based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer of
Administrative Borrower or any Borrower or other authorized person or, at the discretion of Agent,
if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All requests for Loans or Letters of
Credit hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested advance is to be made (which day
shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Loan. Requests received after 11:00 a.m.
California time on any day shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on the
immediately following Business Day. All Loans and Letters of Credit under this Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, any
Borrower or Guarantor when deposited to the credit of any Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise
disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of any Borrower or Guarantor or in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6.7 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the initial proceeds of the Loans and
Letters of Credit hereunder only for: (a) payments to each of the persons listed in the
disbursement direction letter furnished by Borrowers to Agent on or about the date hereof and (b)
costs, expenses and fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. All other Loans made or Letters of Credit
provided to or for the benefit of any Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by
such Borrower only for general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes of
such Borrower not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof. None of the proceeds will be used,
directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the
purposes of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or
carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to be
considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, as amended.

6.8 Appointment of Administrative Borrower as Agent for Requesting Loans and Receipts of
Loans and Statements.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Borrower as its
agent and attorney-in-fact to request and receive Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements from Agent or any Lender in the
name or on behalf of such Borrower. Agent and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank
account of Administrative Borrower or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower and
provide such Letters of Credit to a Borrower as Administrative Borrower may designate or direct,
without notice to any other Borrower or Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the
account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.

 

43

 

(b) Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent
and attorney-in-fact of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 6.8. Administrative Borrower shall
ensure that the disbursement of any Loans to each Borrower requested by or paid to or for the
account of Parent, or the issuance of any Letter of Credit for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid
to or for the account of such Borrower.

(c) Each Borrower and other Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes
Administrative Borrower as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from
Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

(d) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf
of any other Borrower or any Guarantor by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes
to have been made by such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and
enforceable against such Borrower or Guarantor to the same extent as if made directly by such
Borrower or Guarantor.

(e) No purported termination of the appointment of Administrative Borrower as agent as
aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Agent.

6.9 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or
as otherwise agreed by Lenders: (a) the making and conversion of Loans shall be made among the
Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Loans and (b) each payment on account
of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of Lenders in respect of any Obligations
due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Lenders entitled to such payments based on
their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall be distributed accordingly.

6.10 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) Each Borrower and Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any
right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, each Lender
shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as among Agent and Lenders, to the provisions of
Section 12.3(b) hereof), to offset balances held by it for the account of such Borrower or
Guarantor at any of its offices, in dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or
interest on any Loans owed to such Lender or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder,
that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower or
Guarantor), in which case it shall promptly notify Administrative Borrower and Agent thereof;
provided, that, such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity thereof.

 

44

 

(b) If any Lender (including Agent) shall obtain from any Borrower or Guarantor payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements through the exercise of any right of setoff,
banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Agent as provided
herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Pro Rata
Share of the principal of the Loans or more than its share of such other amounts then due hereunder
or thereunder by any Borrower or Guarantor to such Lender than the percentage thereof received by
any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the amount of such
excess and simultaneously purchase from such other Lenders a participation in the Loans or such
other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or such interest due thereon, as the case
may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable,
to the end that all Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses
that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by Lenders. To such end all Lenders
shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participation sold or
otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(c) Each Borrower and Guarantor agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation (or direct
interest) as provided in this Section may exercise, in a manner consistent with this Section, all
rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be)
owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of setoff,
banker’s lien, counterclaims or similar rights or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise,
and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or
obligation of any Borrower or Guarantor. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies,
such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such rights to Agent for the benefit of
Lenders and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner
consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any
recovery on such secured claim.

6.11 Settlement Procedures.

(a) In order to administer the Credit Facility in an efficient manner and to minimize the
transfer of funds between Agent and Lenders, Agent may, at its option, subject to the terms of this
Section, make available, on behalf of Lenders, the full amount of the Loans requested or charged to
any Borrower’s loan account(s) or otherwise to be advanced by Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof,
without requirement of prior notice to Lenders of the proposed Loans.

 

45

 

(b) With respect to all Loans made by Agent on behalf of Lenders as provided in this Section,
the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans shall be computed weekly, and
shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Loans as of 5:00
p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately preceding
the date of each settlement computation; provided, that, Agent retains the
absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the above described adjustments at
intervals more frequent than weekly, but in no event more than twice in any week. Agent shall
deliver to each of the Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or periods as
Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for such period (such
week or lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”). If the
summary statement is sent by Agent and received by a Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. New York time, then
such Lender shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section by no later than 3:00 p.m.
New York time on the same Business Day and if received by a Lender after 12:00 p.m. New York time,
then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer by not later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on
the next Business Day following the date of receipt. If, as of the end of any Settlement Period,
the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans is more than such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the outstanding Loans as of the end of the previous Settlement Period, then such
Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the preceding sentence)
transfer to Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the increase.
Alternatively, if the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans in any
Settlement Period is less than the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans
for the previous Settlement Period, Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Lender by wire transfer
in immediately available funds the amount of the decrease. The obligation of each of the Lenders
to transfer such funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and
without recourse to or warranty by Agent. Agent and each Lender agrees to mark its books and
records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of its Pro Rata
Share of the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit. Each Lender shall only be entitled to
receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Loans to the extent such Loans have been funded by
such Lender. Because the Agent on behalf of Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans
prior to the time when Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Loans, interest with
respect to Loans shall be allocated by Agent in accordance with the amount of Loans actually
advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Agent and shall accrue from and including the date
such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers or
actually settled with the applicable Lender as described in this Section.

(c) To the extent that Agent has made any such amounts available and the settlement described
above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of any Loans by a Borrower, Agent may apply such
amounts repaid directly to any amounts made available by Agent pursuant to this Section. In lieu
of weekly or more frequent settlements, Agent may, at its option, at any time require each Lender
to provide Agent with immediately available funds representing its Pro Rata Share of each Loan,
prior to Agent’s disbursement of such Loan to Borrower. In such event, all Loans under this
Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares.
No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s
obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased
or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to
make a Loan hereunder.

 

46

 

(d) If Agent is not funding a particular Loan to a Borrower (or Administrative Borrower for
the benefit of such Borrower) pursuant to Sections 6.11(a) and 6.11(b) above on any day, but is
requiring each Lender to provide Agent with immediately available funds on the
date of such Loan as provided in Section 6.11(c) above, Agent may assume that each Lender will
make available to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan requested or otherwise made on
such day and Agent may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding
amount to be made available to or for the benefit of such Borrower on such day. If Agent makes
such corresponding amount available to a Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was
due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such
period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the
arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal
funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading
brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such amounts are
not paid within three (3) days of Agent’s demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in
Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Prime Rate Loans. During the period in which such Lender has not
paid such corresponding amount to Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, the amount so advanced by Agent to or for the
benefit of any Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Loan made by Agent for its own
account. Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay Agent, Agent shall promptly thereafter notify
Administrative Borrower of such failure and Borrowers shall pay such corresponding amount to Agent
for its own account within five (5) Business Days of Administrative Borrower’s receipt of such
notice. A Lender who fails to pay Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loans made available by the
Agent on such Lender’s behalf, or any Lender who fails to pay any other amount owing by it to
Agent, is a “Defaulting Lender”. Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender
any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender
be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees).
Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may
hold and, in its discretion, relend to a Borrower the amount of all such payments received or
retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. For purposes of voting or consenting to
matters with respect to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and determining Pro Rata
Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment
shall be deemed to be zero (0). This Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting
Lender until such default is cured. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to
increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by
any Borrower or Guarantor of their duties and obligations hereunder.

(e) Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements
shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender
from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any
Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in
fulfilling its Commitment.

6.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of
each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or
commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other
Financing Agreements and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed
to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any
other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a
separate and independent debt, and subject to Section 12.3 hereof, each Lender shall be entitled to
protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any
other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

47

 

6.13 Bank Products. Borrowers and Guarantors, or any of their Subsidiaries, may (but
no such Person is required to) request that the Bank Product Providers provide or arrange for such
Person to obtain Bank Products from Bank Product Providers, and each Bank Product Provider may, in
its sole discretion, provide or arrange for such Person to obtain the requested Bank Products.
Borrowers and Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries that obtains Bank Products shall indemnify
and hold Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates harmless from any and all obligations
now or hereafter owing to any other Person by any Bank Product Provider in connection with any Bank
Products other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any such indemnified
Person. This Section 6.13 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement. Borrower and its Subsidiaries acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of Bank Products
from Bank Product Providers (a) is in the sole discretion of such Bank Product Provider, and (b) is
subject to all rules and regulations of such Bank Product Provider.

adverse information known to any Borrower or Guarantor relating to the financial condition of any

ordinary course of a Borrower’s or Guarantor’s business in accordance with practices and policies
previously disclosed in writing to Agent and except as set forth in the schedules delivered to
Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above. So long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and
is continuing, Borrowers and Guarantors shall settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset,
counterclaim or dispute with any account debtor. At any time that an Event of Default exists or
has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall, at its option, have the exclusive right to settle,
adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with account debtors or grant any
credits, discounts or allowances.

(b) With respect to each Account: (i) the amounts shown on any invoice delivered to Agent or

nominee of Agent, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Receivables or
other Collateral, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise.

 

49

 

7.3 Inventory Covenants. With respect to the Inventory: (a) each Borrower and
Guarantor shall at all times maintain inventory records reasonably satisfactory to Agent, keeping

Lenders are expressly permitted to rely; (e) Borrowers and Guarantors shall produce, use, store and

standards of any insurance and in conformity with applicable laws (including the requirements of
the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended and all rules, regulations and orders
related thereto); (f) none of the Inventory or other Collateral constitutes farm products or the
proceeds thereof; (g) each Borrower and Guarantor assumes all responsibility and liability arising
from or relating to the production, use, sale or other disposition of the Inventory; (h) Borrowers

condition, results of operation or business or the rights of Agent in or to any of the Collateral.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and the
transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder (a) are all within each Borrower’s and

bound and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of, or require or give rise to any
obligation to grant, any lien, security interest, charge or other encumbrance upon any property of
any Borrower or Guarantor. This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to which any Borrower

Titles have not been so registered. On or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the

Certificate of Copyright Registration issued by the United States Copyright Office for each of the
Active Licensed/Owned Titles (“Registration Certificate”) or (to the

 

73

 

extent applicable) written confirmation from the owner or licensor of such Active Licensed/Owned
Title that such Active Licensed/Owned Title has not been registered with the United States
Copyright Office and that no such registration will be made (“Non-Registration Confirmation”).
Administrative Borrower shall, no later than the one hundred eightieth (180th) day
following the date of this Agreement, furnish Agent with all of the Registration Certificates and
Non-Registration Confirmations so obtained, together with copyright security agreement(s) duly
executed and delivered by each of the applicable Borrowers and Guarantors in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent for recording with the United States Copyright Office and covering all of the
Active Licensed/Owned Titles for which Registration Certificates are so furnished to Agent (it

for which a Registration Certificate or Non-Registration Confirmation has not been furnished to
Agent and (e) the Active Non-Licensed/Owned Titles. As soon as possible after the end of each

(but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the end thereof), Administrative Borrower
shall furnish Agent with a Registration Certificate or (to the extent applicable) Non-Registration
Confirmation for each Active Licensed/Owned Title obtained by any Borrower or Guarantor during such

Guarantors in form and substance satisfactory to Agent for recording with the United States
Copyright Office and covering all of such Active Licensed/Owned Titles for which Registration
Certificates are so furnished to Agent, and together with a current Copyright Report. Commencing
on the one hundred eightieth (180th) day following the date of this Agreement, as to any
of the Active Licensed/Owned Titles for which a Registration Certificate or Non-Registration
Confirmation and a copyright security agreement or amendment are not furnished to Agent as set
forth above, any Account (or portion thereof) generated from such Active Licensed/Owned Titles will
not be deemed an Eligible Account. Administrative Borrower shall provide Agent with such further
documents as Agent may request with respect to the foregoing matters.

9.19 License Agreements.

(a) Each Borrower and Guarantor shall (i) promptly and faithfully observe and perform all of
the material terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the material License Agreements to

74

 

not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to so cancel, surrender

Borrower or Guarantor) a copy of each notice of default and every other notice and other
communication received or delivered by such Borrower or Guarantor in connection with any material
License Agreement which relates to the right of such Borrower or Guarantor to continue to use the
property subject to such License Agreement, and (vi) furnish to Agent, promptly upon the request of

such Borrower or Guarantor does not intend to renew or extend the term of any such material License
Agreement or that the term thereof shall otherwise be expiring, not less than sixty (60) days prior
to the date of any such non-renewal or expiration. In the event of the failure of such Borrower or
Guarantor to extend or renew any material License Agreement to which it is a party, Agent shall
have, and is hereby granted, the irrevocable right and authority, at its option, to renew or extend
the term of such material License Agreement, whether in its own name and behalf, or in the name and
behalf of a designee or nominee of Agent or in the name and behalf of such Borrower or Guarantor,
as Agent shall determine at any time that an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be
continuing. Agent may, but shall not be required to, perform any or all of such obligations of
such Borrower or Guarantor under any of the License Agreements, including, but not limited to, the
payment of any or all sums due from such Borrower or Guarantor thereunder. Any sums so paid by
Agent shall constitute part of the Obligations.

9.20 Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Etc. None of the requesting or borrowing of
the Loans or the requesting or issuance, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit or the use of
the proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 USC §1 et seq., as
amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the
United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign
Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto

Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law

Trading with the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or engages or will
engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person”.

9.21 After Acquired Real Property. If any Borrower or Guarantor hereafter acquires
any Real Property or fixtures, then if such Real Property or fixtures at any location (or series of
adjacent, contiguous or related locations, and regardless of the number of parcels) has a fair
market value in an amount equal to or greater than $150,000 (or if a Default or Event of Default
exists, then regardless of the fair market value of such assets), without limiting any other rights
of Agent or any Lender, or duties or obligations of any Borrower or Guarantor, promptly upon
Agent’s request, such Borrower or Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Agent a mortgage, deed of
trust or deed to secure debt, as Agent may determine, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent
and in form appropriate for recording in the real estate records of the jurisdiction in which such
Real Property or other property is located granting to Agent a first and only lien and mortgage on

Guarantor would otherwise be permitted to incur hereunder or under the Mortgages or as otherwise
consented to in writing by Agent) and such other agreements, documents and instruments as Agent may
require in connection therewith.

costs, expenses, filing fees and taxes paid or payable in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery, recording, syndication, administration, collection, liquidation,

security interests and the priority thereof in the Collateral and to otherwise effectuate the
provisions or purposes of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Agent may at
any time and from time to time request a certificate from an officer of any Borrower or Guarantor
representing that all conditions precedent to the making of Loans and providing Letters of Credit
contained herein are satisfied. In the event of such request by Agent, Agent and Lenders may, at
Agent’s option, cease to make any further Loans or provide any further Letters of Credit until
Agent has received such certificate and, in addition, Agent has determined that such conditions are
satisfied.

(a) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent and
Lenders shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Financing
Agreements, the UCC and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised
without notice to or consent by any Borrower or Guarantor, except as such notice or consent is
expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers
granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements, the UCC or
other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in Agent’s discretion,
alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include,
without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach
or threatened breach by any Borrower or Guarantor of this Agreement or any of the other Financing
Agreements. Subject to Section 12 hereof, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders
shall, at any time or times, proceed directly against any Borrower or Guarantor to collect the
Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.

 

79

 

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists
or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may, at its option and shall upon the direction of the
Required Lenders, (i) upon notice to Administrative Borrower, accelerate the payment of all
Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Agent for itself and the benefit of Lenders
(provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections
10.1(g) and 10.1(h), all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and
payable), and (ii) terminate the Commitments whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make
any Loan and an issuer to issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate (provided,
that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h), the
Commitments and any other obligation of the Agent or a Lender hereunder shall automatically
terminate).

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and
is continuing, Agent may, in its discretion (i) with or without judicial process or the aid or
assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located
and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or
any portion of the Collateral, (ii) require any Borrower or Guarantor, at Borrowers’ expense, to
assemble and make available to Agent any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time
designated by Agent, (iii) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any
and all Collateral, (iv) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the
same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof
or for any other purpose, (v) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any
and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales
at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of Agent or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as
Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Agent having the
right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the
foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of any Borrower or Guarantor, which
right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Borrowers and Guarantors
and/or (vi) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Agent upon
credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until
payment therefor is finally collected by Agent. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required
by law, ten (10) days prior notice by Agent to Administrative Borrower designating the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of
Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Borrowers and
Guarantors waive any other notice. In the event Agent institutes an action to recover any
Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, each Borrower and
Guarantor waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. At any time an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Agent’s request, Borrowers will either, as
Agent shall specify, furnish cash collateral to the issuer to be used to secure and fund the
reimbursement obligations to the issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit Obligations or
furnish cash collateral to Agent for the Letter of Credit Obligations. Such cash collateral shall
be in the amount equal to one hundred ten (110%) percent of the amount of the Letter of Credit
Obligations plus the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the
end of the latest expiration date of the Letters of Credit giving rise to such Letter of Credit
Obligations.

 

80

 

(d) At any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing,
Agent may, in its discretion, enforce the rights of any Borrower or Guarantor against any account
debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts or other Receivables.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may, in its discretion, at such time or
times (i) notify any or all account debtors, secondary obligors or other obligors in respect
thereof that the Receivables have been assigned to Agent and that Agent has a security interest
therein and Agent may direct any or all account debtors, secondary obligors and other
obligors to make payment of Receivables directly to Agent, (ii) extend the time of payment of,
compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any
terms or conditions, any and all Receivables or other obligations included in the Collateral and
thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in
respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment
of any Receivables or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and Agent and Lenders
shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the
negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action
Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests and the interests of
Lenders. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at Agent’s
request, all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts and
such other obligations have been assigned to Agent and are payable directly and only to Agent and
Borrowers and Guarantors shall deliver to Agent such originals of documents evidencing the sale and
delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Agent may require.
In the event any account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred
and is continuing, Borrowers shall, upon Agent’s request, hold the returned Inventory in trust for
Agent, segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other property, dispose of the returned
Inventory solely according to Agent’s instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or
allowances with respect thereto without Agent’s prior written consent.

(e) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Agent or any Lender to exercise
remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each
Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent
or any Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent or any Lender to
prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party
consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law,
to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or
disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection
remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to
remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise
collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or
through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same
business as any Borrower or Guarantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion
of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition
of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of
Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included
in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to
disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent
or Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent or
Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the
extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers,
consultants and other professionals to assist

 

81

 

Agent in
the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section
is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender would
not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by Agent or any Lender of remedies against the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed
commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without
limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any
rights to any Borrower or Guarantor or to impose any duties on Agent or Lenders that would not have
been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

(f) For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise the rights and remedies hereunder, each
Borrower and Guarantor hereby grants to Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable,
non-exclusive license (exercisable at any time an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and
for so long as the same is continuing) without payment of royalty or other compensation to any
Borrower or Guarantor, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks,
trade names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business identifiers
and other Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by any
Borrower or Guarantor, wherever the same maybe located, including in such license reasonable access
to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer
programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(g) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may apply
the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or
other disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in
accordance with the terms hereof, whether or not then due or may hold such proceeds as cash
collateral for the Obligations. Borrowers and Guarantors shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders
for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all
costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(h) Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default,
(i) Agent and Lenders may, at Agent’s option, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default at the
direction of the Required Lenders, Agent and Lenders shall, without notice, (A) cease making Loans
or arranging for Letters of Credit or reduce the lending formulas or amounts of Loans and Letters
of Credit available to Borrowers and/or (B) terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for
any future Loans or Letters of Credit to be made by Agent and Lenders to Borrowers and (ii) Agent
may, at its option, establish such Reserves as Agent determines, without limitation or restriction,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein.

Agreements (except as otherwise provided therein) and any dispute arising out
of the relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or

any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of California.

(b) Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent and Lenders irrevocably consent and submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los

of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or
thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort,
equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard
only in the courts described above (except that Agent and Lenders shall have the right to bring any
action or proceeding against any Borrower or Guarantor or its or their property in the courts of
any other jurisdiction which Agent deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the
Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against any Borrower or Guarantor or its or their
property).

(c) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it
and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt
requested) directed to its address set forth herein and service so made shall be deemed to be
completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at
Agent’s option, by service upon any Borrower or Guarantor (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of
such Borrower or Guarantor) in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts.
Within thirty (30) days after such service, such Borrower or Guarantor shall appear in answer to
such process, failing which such Borrower or Guarantor shall be deemed in default and judgment may
be entered by Agent against such Borrower or Guarantor for the amount of the claim and other relief
requested.

(d) BORROWERS, GUARANTORS, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER
FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE
PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. BORROWERS, GUARANTORS, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH
HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED
BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR, AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY FILE AN
ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT
OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

83

 

(e) If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the State of California by or against
any party hereto in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
document related hereto, (a) the court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference
pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 to a referee or referees to hear and
determine all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether of fact or law) and to report a
statement of decision, provided that at the option of Agent, any such issues pertaining to a
“provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard
and determined by the court, (b) any arbitrator of JAMS shall be deemed qualified as a referee in
such action or proceeding for the purpose of subdivision (a) of Section 641 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure, and (c) Borrowers shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of
any referee appointed in such action or proceeding.

(f) Agent and Lenders shall not have any liability to any Borrower or Guarantor (whether in
tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by such Borrower or Guarantor in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships
contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith,
unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Agent and
such Lender, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In any such litigation, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to the benefit of
the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in
the performance by it of the terms of this Agreement. Each Borrower and Guarantor: (i) certifies
that neither Agent, any Lender nor any representative, agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of
Agent or any Lender has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Agent and Lenders would not, in
the event of litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this Agreement or any
of the other Financing Agreements and (ii) acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement and
the other Financing Agreements, Agent and Lenders are relying upon, among other things, the waivers
and certifications set forth in this Section 11.1 and elsewhere herein and therein.

11.2 Waiver of Notices. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby expressly waives demand,
presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with respect to any and all
instruments and chattel paper, included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Collateral,
and any and all other demands and notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
Obligations, the Collateral and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein.
No notice to or demand on any Borrower or Guarantor which Agent or any Lender may elect to give
shall entitle such Borrower or Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances.

 

84

 

11.3 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Financing Agreement nor any terms hereof or thereof
may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, waiver, discharge or
termination is in writing signed by Agent and the Required Lenders or at Agent’s option, by Agent
with the authorization or consent of the Required Lenders, and as to amendments to any of the
Financing Agreements (other than with respect to any provision of Section 12 hereof), by any
Borrower and such amendment, waiver, discharger or termination shall be effective and binding as to
all Lenders only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; except, that, no such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination
shall:

(i) reduce the interest rate or any fees or extend the time of payment of principal, interest
or any fees or reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Letters of Credit, in each case without
the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect or provided
hereunder, in each case without the consent of the Lender directly affected thereby,

(iii) release any Collateral (except as expressly required hereunder or under any of the other
Financing Agreements or applicable law and except as permitted under Section 12.11(b) hereof),
without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders,

(iv) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, without the
consent of Agent and all of Lenders,

(v) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower or Guarantor of any of their rights
and obligations under this Agreement, without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders,

(vi) amend, modify or waive any terms of this Section 11.3 hereof, without the consent of
Agent and all of Lenders, or

(vii) increase the advance rate constituting part of the Borrowing Base or increase the Letter
of Credit Limit, without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders.

(b) Agent and Lenders shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
expressly or impliedly waived any of its or their rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver
shall be in writing and signed as provided herein. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to
the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Agent or any Lender of any right, power
and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right,
power and/or remedy which Agent or any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether
similar in kind or otherwise.

 

85

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.3(a) above, in connection
with any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, in the event that any Lender whose consent
thereto is required shall fail to consent or fail to consent in a timely manner (such Lender being
referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), but the consent of any other Lenders to such
amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that is required are obtained, if any, then Wachovia
shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter, and upon the exercise by
Wachovia of such right, such Non-Consenting Lender shall have the obligation, to sell, assign and
transfer to Wachovia or such Eligible Transferee as Wachovia may specify, the Commitment of such
Non-Consenting Lender and all rights and interests of such Non-Consenting Lender pursuant thereto.
Wachovia shall provide the Non-Consenting Lender with prior written notice of its intent to
exercise its right under this Section, which notice shall specify on date on which such purchase
and sale shall occur. Such purchase
and sale shall be pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance (whether or not
executed by the Non-Consenting Lender), except that on the date of such purchase and sale,
Wachovia, or such Eligible Transferee specified by Wachovia, shall pay to the Non-Consenting Lender
(except as Wachovia and such Non-Consenting Lender may otherwise agree) the amount equal to: (i)
the principal balance of the Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender outstanding as of the close of
business on the business day immediately preceding the effective date of such purchase and sale,
plus (ii) amounts accrued and unpaid in respect of interest and fees payable to the Non-Consenting
Lender to the effective date of the purchase (but in no event shall the Non-Consenting Lender be
deemed entitled to any early termination fee), minus (iii) the amount of the closing fee received
by the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof or of any of the other Financing
Agreements multiplied by the fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in
the then current term of the Credit Facility and the denominator of which is the number of months
in the then current term thereof. Such purchase and sale shall be effective on the date of the
payment of such amount to the Non-Consenting Lender and the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender
shall terminate on such date.

(d) The consent of Agent shall be required for any amendment, waiver or consent affecting the
rights or duties of Agent hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements, in addition to
the consent of the Lenders otherwise required by this Section and the exercise by Agent of any of
its rights hereunder with respect to Reserves or Eligible Accounts shall not be deemed an amendment
to the advance rates provided for in this Section 11.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 11.3(a) above, (i) in the event that Agent shall agree that any items
otherwise required to be delivered to Agent as a condition of the initial Loans and Letters of
Credit hereunder may be delivered after the date hereof, Agent may, in its discretion, agree to
extend the date for delivery of such items or take such other action as Agent may deem appropriate
as a result of the failure to receive such items as Agent may determine or may waive any Event of
Default as a result of the failure to receive such items, in each case without the consent of any
Lender and (ii) Agent may consent to any change in the type of organization, jurisdiction of
organization or other legal structure of any Borrower, Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries and
amend the terms hereof or of any of the other Financing Agreements as may be necessary or desirable
to reflect any such change, in each case without the approval of any Lender.

(e) The consent of Agent and a Bank Product Provider that is providing Bank Products and has
outstanding any such Bank Products at such time that are secured hereunder shall be required for
any amendment to the priority of payment of Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Hedge
Agreements of a Borrower or Guarantor or other Bank Products as set forth in Section 6.4(a) hereof.

11.4 Waiver of Counterclaims. Each Borrower and Guarantor waives all rights to
interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other then compulsory
counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the
Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.

 

86

 

11.5 Indemnification. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall, jointly and severally,
indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender, and their respective officers, directors, agents,
employees, advisors and counsel and their respective Affiliates (each such person being an
“Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced
or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking
or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or
transaction related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and
the fees and expenses of counsel except that Borrowers and Guarantors shall not have any obligation
under this Section 11.5 to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to a matter covered hereby
resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined pursuant
to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction (but without limiting the
obligations of Borrowers or Guarantors as to any other Indemnitee). To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable
because it violates any law or public policy, Borrowers and Guarantors shall pay the maximum
portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Agent and Lenders in satisfaction of
indemnified matters under this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower or
Guarantor shall assert, and each Borrower and Guarantor 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 of the other Financing Agreements or any undertaking or transaction
contemplated hereby. No Indemnitee referred to 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 any of the other Financing Agreements or the transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable upon demand. The foregoing indemnity
shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

SECTION 12. THE AGENT

12.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender irrevocably designates, appoints
and authorizes Wachovia to act as Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements with
such powers as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other
Financing Agreements, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent
(a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and
in the other Financing Agreements, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Financing
Agreement be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to Lenders for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any of the
other Financing Agreements, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any
other Financing Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or
for any failure by any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person to perform any of its
obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (c) shall not be responsible to Lenders for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement or under any
other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection
herewith or therewith,
except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent may employ agents and
attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents
or attorneys in fact selected by it in good faith. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note
as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the assignment thereof pursuant to
an agreement (if and to the extent permitted herein) in form and substance satisfactory to Agent
shall have been delivered to and acknowledged by Agent.

 

87

 

12.2 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification,
notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or
cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of
the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent
accountants and other experts selected by Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given
by the Required Lenders or all of Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such
instructions of such Agents and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding on all Lenders.

12.3 Events of Default.

(a) Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default or other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans and Letters of Credit
hereunder, unless and until Agent has received written notice from a Lender, or Borrower specifying
such Event of Default or any unfulfilled condition precedent, and stating that such notice is a
“Notice of Default or Failure of Condition”. In the event that Agent receives such a Notice of
Default or Failure of Condition, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Agent
shall (subject to Section 12.7) take such action with respect to any such Event of Default or
failure of condition precedent as shall be directed by the Required Lenders to the extent provided
for herein; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such
directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such
action, with respect to or by reason of such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent, as
it shall deem advisable in the best interest of Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, and
notwithstanding the existence or occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or any other
failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement to the
contrary, unless and until otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, Agent may, but shall have no
obligation to, continue to make Loans and issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit for the
ratable account and risk of Lenders from time to time if Agent believes making such Loans or
issuing or causing to be issued such Letter of Credit is in the best interests of Lenders.

(b) Except with the prior written consent of Agent, no Lender may assert or exercise any
enforcement right or remedy in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or other
Obligations, as against any Borrower or Guarantor or any of the Collateral or other property of any
Borrower or Guarantor.

 

88

 

12.4 Wachovia in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment and the
Loans made and Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by it (and any successor acting as
Agent), so long as Wachovia shall be a Lender hereunder, it shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as
Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include
Wachovia in its individual capacity as Lender hereunder. Wachovia (and any successor acting as
Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to,
make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers (and any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Agent, and Wachovia and its Affiliates may
accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or Guarantor and any of its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account
for the same to Lenders.

12.5 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed
by Borrowers hereunder and without limiting any obligations of Borrowers hereunder) ratably, in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, for any and all claims of any kind and nature whatsoever
that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent (including by any Lender) arising out
of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any other Financing Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that
Agent is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of
any such other documents, provided, that, no Lender shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to
be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the
termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

12.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has,
independently and without reliance on Agent or other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrowers and Guarantors
and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and
without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Agent shall not
be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Borrower or
Guarantor of any term or provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or
any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or
books of any Borrower or Guarantor. Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any
information received by Agent from any Borrower or Guarantor which is required to be provided to
Lenders or deemed to be requested by Lenders hereunder and with a copy of any Notice of Default or
Failure of Condition received by Agent from any Borrower or any Lender; provided,
that, Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the
extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent or
deemed requested by Lenders hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Lender with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition
or business of any Borrower or Guarantor that may come into the possession of Agent.

 

89

 

12.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder and
under the other Financing Agreements, Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or
refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its
satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.5 hereof against
any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action.

12.8 Additional Loans. Agent shall not make any Revolving Loans or provide any Letter
of Credit to any Borrower on behalf of Lenders intentionally and with actual knowledge that such
Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit would cause the aggregate amount of the total outstanding
Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower to exceed the Borrowing Base of such
Borrower, without the prior consent of all Lenders, except, that, Agent may make such additional
Revolving Loans or provide such additional Letter of Credit on behalf of Lenders, intentionally and
with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit will cause the total
outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower to exceed the Borrowing Base of
such Borrower, as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its discretion, provided,
that: (a) the total principal amount of the additional Revolving Loans or additional
Letters of Credit to any Borrower which Agent may make or provide after obtaining such actual
knowledge that the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans equal or exceed the Borrowing
Bases of Borrowers, plus the amount of Special Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 12.11(a)(ii)
hereof then outstanding, shall not exceed the aggregate amount equal to ten (10%) percent of the
aggregate sum of the Revolving Loan Limits for all Borrowers and shall not cause the total
principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit to exceed the aggregate sum of the
Revolving Loan Limits for all Borrowers and (b) no such additional Revolving Loan or Letter of
Credit shall be outstanding more than ninety (90) days after the date such additional Revolving
Loan or Letter of Credit is made or issued (as the case may be), except as the Required Lenders may
otherwise agree. Each Lender shall be obligated to pay Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Share of
any such additional Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit.

12.9 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Financing Agreements. Each Lender
authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. Each
Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of
their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are
reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

12.10 Field Audit, Examination Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by Lenders.
By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes
available, a copy of each field audit or examination report and report with respect to the
Borrowing Base prepared or received by Agent (each field audit or examination report and report
with respect to the Borrowing Base being referred to herein as a “Report” and collectively,
“Reports”), appraisals with respect to the Collateral and financial statements with respect Parent
and its Subsidiaries received by Agent;

 

90

 

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent (i) does not make any representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, appraisal or financial statement or (ii) shall not be
liable for any information contained in any Report, appraisal or financial statement;

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or
examinations, that Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only
specific information regarding Borrowers and Guarantors and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’
and Guarantors’ books and records, as well as on representations of Borrowers’ and Guarantors’
personnel; and

(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use in accordance
with the terms of Section 13.5 hereof, and not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner.

12.11 Collateral Matters.

(a) Agent may, at its option, from time to time, at any time on or after an Event of Default
and for so long as the same is continuing or upon any other failure of a condition precedent to the
Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder, make such disbursements and advances (“Special Agent
Advances”) which Agent, in its sole discretion, (i) deems necessary or desirable either to preserve
or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof or (ii) to enhance the likelihood or maximize the
amount of repayment by Borrowers and Guarantors of the Loans and other Obligations,
provided, that, (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Special Agent Advances
pursuant to this clause (ii) outstanding at any time, plus the then outstanding principal amount of
the additional Loans and Letters of Credit which Agent may make or provide as set forth in Section
12.8 hereof, shall not exceed the amount equal to ten (10%) percent of the aggregate sum of the
Revolving Loan Limits for all Borrowers and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Special Agent
Advances pursuant to this clause (ii) outstanding at any time, plus the then outstanding principal
amount of the Loans, shall not exceed the aggregate sum of the Revolving Loan Limits for all
Borrowers, except at Agent’s option, provided, that, to the extent that the aggregate principal
amount of Special Agent Advances plus the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceed the
aggregate sum of the Revolving Loan Limits for all Borrowers, the Special Agent Advances that are
in excess of the aggregate sum of the Revolving Loan Limits for all Borrowers shall be for the sole
account and risk of Agent and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth below, no Lender
shall have any obligation to provide its share of such Special Agent Advances in excess of the
aggregate sum of the Revolving Loan Limits for all Borrowers, or (iii) to pay any other amount
chargeable to any Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other
Financing Agreements consisting of (A) costs, fees and expenses and (B) payments to Issuing Bank in
respect of any Letter of Credit Obligations. The Special Agent Advances shall be repayable on
demand and together with all interest thereon shall constitute Obligations secured by the
Collateral. Special Agent Advances shall not constitute Loans but shall otherwise constitute
Obligations hereunder. Interest on Special Agent Advances shall be payable at the Interest Rate
then applicable to Prime Rate Loans and shall be payable on demand. Without limitation of its
obligations pursuant to Section 6.11, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to Agent,
upon Agent’s demand, in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of each such Special Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to Agent
by such Lender, such Lender shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender and Agent shall be entitled to
recover such funds, on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the
date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for
each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s
option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in
overnight Federal funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the
three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such
amounts are not paid within three (3) days of Agent’s demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided
for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Prime Rate Loans.

 

91

 

(b) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release
any security interest in, mortgage or lien upon, any of the Collateral (i) upon termination of the
Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations and delivery of cash collateral
to the extent required under Section 13.1 below, or (ii) constituting property being sold or
disposed of if Administrative Borrower or any Borrower or Guarantor certifies to Agent that the
sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 9.7 hereof (and Agent may rely conclusively
on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) constituting property in which any
Borrower or Guarantor did not own an interest at the time the security interest, mortgage or lien
was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) having a value in the aggregate in any twelve (12)
month period of less than $500,000, and to the extent Agent may release its security interest in
and lien upon any such Collateral pursuant to the sale or other disposition thereof, such sale or
other disposition shall be deemed consented to by Lenders, or (v) if required or permitted under
the terms of any of the other Financing Agreements, including any intercreditor agreement, or (vi)
approved, authorized or ratified in writing by all of Lenders. Except as provided above, Agent
will not release any security interest in, mortgage or lien upon, any of the Collateral without the
prior written authorization of all of Lenders. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will
promptly confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral
pursuant to this Section.

(c) Without any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further
authorization or consent by the Required Lenders, each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon
request by Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon Agent under this Section.
Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be
necessary to evidence the release of the security interest, mortgage or liens granted to Agent upon
any Collateral to the extent set forth above; provided, that, (i) Agent shall not
be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to
liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such
security interest, mortgage or liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not
in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any security interest, mortgage or
lien upon (or obligations of any Borrower or Guarantor in respect of) the Collateral retained by
such Borrower or Guarantor.

 

92

 

(d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to
investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or Guarantor
or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that any particular items of
Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the Loans or Letters of
Credit hereunder, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the liens and
security interests granted to Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Financing Agreements or otherwise
have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any
duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and
powers granted or available to Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements,
it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event
related thereto, subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any
manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as
a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender.

12.12 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints Agent and each other Lender
as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the
Collateral of Agent in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only
by possession (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession has priority over
the security interest of another secured party) and Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that
it holds possession of any such Collateral for the benefit of Agent as secured party. Should any
Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and,
promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with
Agent’s instructions.

12.13 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to
Lenders and Parent. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from
among the Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the
effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and
Parent, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance by the Lender so selected of its
appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all of the rights,
powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” as used herein and in the other
Financing Agreements shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers
and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted
appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of a retiring Agent’s
notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless thereupon become
effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any,
as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

12.14 Other Agent Designations. Agent may at any time and from time to time determine
that a Lender may, in addition, be a “Co-Agent”, “Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or
similar designation hereunder and enter into an agreement with such Lender to have it so identified
for purposes of this Agreement. Any such designation shall be effective upon written notice by
Agent to Administrative Borrower of any such designation. Any Lender that is so designated as a
Co-Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or such similar designation by Agent shall have no
right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the
other Financing Agreements other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender and no Lender shall be
deemed to have relied, nor shall any Lender rely, on a Lender so identified as a Co-Agent,
Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or such similar designation in deciding to enter into this
Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION 13. TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS

13.1
Term.

(a) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall become effective as of the date
set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on
the date three (3) years from the date hereof (the “Renewal Date”), and from year to year
thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent may, at its option (or
shall at the direction of any Lender in writing received by Agent at least ninety (90) days prior
to the Renewal Date or the anniversary of any Renewal Date, as the case may be), terminate this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, or Administrative Borrower or any Borrower may
terminate this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, each case, effective on the Renewal
Date or on the anniversary of the Renewal Date in any year by giving to the other party at least
sixty (60) days prior written notice; provided, that, this Agreement and all other
Financing Agreements must be terminated simultaneously. In addition, Borrowers may terminate this
Agreement at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Agent (which notice shall be
irrevocable) and Agent may, at its option, and shall at the direction of Required Lenders,
terminate this Agreement at any time on or after an Event of Default. Upon the Renewal Date or any
other effective date of termination of the Financing Agreements, Borrowers shall pay to Agent all
outstanding and unpaid Obligations and shall furnish cash collateral to Agent (or at Agent’s
option, a letter of credit issued for the account of Borrowers and at Borrowers’ expense, in form
and substance satisfactory to Agent, by an issuer acceptable to Agent and payable to Agent as
beneficiary) in such amounts as Agent determines are reasonably necessary to secure Agent, Lenders
and Issuing Bank from loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, in
connection with any contingent Obligations, including issued and outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations and checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to
which Agent or any Lender has not yet received final and indefeasible payment and any continuing
obligations of Agent or any Lender pursuant to any Deposit Account Control Agreement and for any of
the Obligations arising under or in connection with any Bank Products in such amounts as the Bank
Product Provider providing such Bank Products may require (unless such Obligations arising under or
in connection with any Bank Products are paid in full in cash and terminated in a manner
satisfactory to such Bank Product Provider). The amount of such cash collateral (or letter of
credit, as Agent may determine) as to any Letter of Credit Obligations shall be in the amount equal
to one hundred ten (110%) percent of the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations plus the amount
of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest expiration
date of the Letters of Credit giving rise to such Letter of Credit Obligations. Such payments in
respect of the Obligations and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in Federal funds
to the Agent Payment Account or such other bank account of Agent, as Agent may, in its discretion,
designate in writing to Administrative Borrower for such purpose. Interest shall be due until and
including the next Business Day, if the amounts so paid by Borrowers to the Agent Payment Account
or other bank account designated by Agent are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon,
California time.

 

94

 

(b) No termination of the Commitments, this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements
shall relieve or discharge any Borrower or Guarantor of its respective duties, obligations and
covenants under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements until all Obligations have
been fully and finally discharged and paid, and Agent’s continuing security interest in the
Collateral and the rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, under the other Financing
Agreements and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully
and finally discharged and paid. Accordingly, each Borrower and Guarantor waives any rights it may
have under the UCC to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral
and Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to Borrowers or Guarantors, or
to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in
accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid and satisfied in full in immediately available
funds.

(c) If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Renewal Date, in view of the
impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the
parties as to a reasonable calculation of Agent’s and each Lender’s lost profits as a result
thereof, Borrowers agree to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon the effective date of
such termination, an early termination fee in the amount equal to the applicable percentage set
forth below of the aggregate sum of the Revolving Loan Limits for all Borrowers, based upon the
period in which the effective date of termination occurs:

	 	 	 
	Amount	 	Period
	 
	 	 
	1.0% of such aggregate sum

	 	From the date hereof to and including the
first anniversary of the date hereof.
	 
	 	 
	0.75% of such aggregate sum

	 	From and after the first anniversary of the
date hereof to but not including the third
anniversary of the date hereof or if the term
of this Agreement is extended, at any time
prior to the end of the then current term.

Such early termination fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Agent and
Lenders as a result of such early termination and Borrowers and Guarantors agree that it is
reasonable under the circumstances currently existing (including, but not limited to, the
borrowings that are reasonably expected by Borrowers hereunder and the interest, fees and other
charges that are reasonably expected to be received by Agent and Lenders pursuant to the Credit
Facility). In addition, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to such early termination fee upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h) hereof, even if Agent
and Lenders do not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement, but elect, at their option, to
provide financing to any Borrower or permit the use of cash collateral under the United States
Bankruptcy Code. The early termination fee provided for in this Section 13.1 shall be deemed
included in the Obligations.

 

95

have been reviewed by counsel to Agent and the other parties, and are the products of all parties.

13.4 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate this Agreement as a whole,
but this Agreement shall be construed as though it did not contain the particular provision held to
be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and
enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law.

13.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Agent and each Lender shall use all reasonable efforts to keep confidential, in accordance
with its customary procedures for handling confidential information and safe and sound lending
practices, any non-public information supplied to it by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement
which is clearly and conspicuously marked as confidential at the time such information is furnished
by such Borrower to Agent or such Lender, provided, that, nothing contained herein
shall limit the disclosure of any such information: (i) to the extent required by statute, rule,
regulation, subpoena or court order, (ii) to bank examiners and other regulators,
auditors and/or accountants, in connection with any litigation to which Agent or such Lender
is a party, (iii) to any Lender or Participant (or prospective Lender or Participant) or to any
Affiliate of any Lender so long as such Lender or Participant (or prospective Lender or
Participant) or Affiliate shall have been instructed to treat such information as confidential in
accordance with this Section 13.5, or (iv) to counsel for Agent or any Lender or Participant (or
prospective Lender or Participant).

 

98

 

(b) In the event that Agent or any Lender receives a request or demand to disclose any
confidential information pursuant to any subpoena or court order, Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, agrees (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law or if permitted by applicable law, to
the extent Agent or such Lender determines in good faith that it will not create any risk of
liability to Agent or such Lender, Agent or such Lender will promptly notify Administrative
Borrower of such request so that Administrative Borrower may seek a protective order or other
appropriate relief or remedy and (ii) if disclosure of such information is required, disclose such
information and, subject to reimbursement by Borrowers of Agent’s or such Lender’s expenses,
cooperate with Administrative Borrower in the reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the disclosed
information which Administrative Borrower so designates, to the extent permitted by applicable law
or if permitted by applicable law, to the extent Agent or such Lender determines in good faith that
it will not create any risk of liability to Agent or such Lender.

(c) In no event shall this Section 13.5 or any other provision of this Agreement, any of the
other Financing Agreements or applicable law be deemed: (i) to apply to or restrict disclosure of
information that has been or is made public by any Borrower, Guarantor or any third party or
otherwise becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in
violation hereof, (ii) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that was or becomes
available to Agent or any Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender) on a non-confidential basis from
a person other than a Borrower or Guarantor, (iii) to require Agent or any Lender to return any
materials furnished by a Borrower or Guarantor to Agent or a Lender or prevent Agent or a Lender
from responding to routine informational requests in accordance with the Code of Ethics for the
Exchange of Credit Information promulgated by The Robert Morris Associates or other applicable
industry standards relating to the exchange of credit information. The obligations of Agent and
Lenders under this Section 13.5 shall supersede and replace the obligations of Agent and Lenders
under any confidentiality letter signed prior to the date hereof or any other arrangements
concerning the confidentiality of information provided by any Borrower or Guarantor to Agent or any
Lender. In addition, Agent and Lenders may disclose information relating to the Credit Facility to
Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, with such information to consist of deal
terms and other information customarily found in such publications.

13.6 Successors. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other
document referred to herein or therein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Agent, Lenders, Borrowers, Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns,
except that Borrower may not assign its rights under this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements
and any other document referred to herein or therein without the prior written consent of Agent and
Lenders. Any such purported assignment without such express prior written consent shall be void.
No Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent, except as provided in Section 13.7
below. The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are for the
purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent and Lenders
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and there shall be no third party
beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Financing
Agreements.

 

99

 

13.7 Assignments; Participations.

(a) Each Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent, assign all or, if less than all,
a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender, of such rights
and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Transferees (but not including for
this purpose any assignments in the form of a participation), each of which assignees shall become
a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Acceptance;
provided, that, (i) such transfer or assignment will not be effective until
recorded by Agent on the Register and (ii) Agent shall have received for its sole account payment
of a processing fee from the assigning Lender or the assignee in the amount of $5,000.

(b) Agent shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of Lenders, their Commitments
and the principal amount of their Loans (the “Register”). Agent shall also maintain a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall modify the Register to give
effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and any Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent and Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Administrative Borrower and
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and
to the other Financing Agreements and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations
(including, without limitation, the obligation to participate in Letter of Credit Obligations) of a
Lender hereunder and thereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

(d) By execution and delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor and assignee
thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other
than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Financing

                                         (the “Assignee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Western), in its capacity as agent pursuant to
the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) acting for and on behalf of the financial institutions
which are parties thereto as lenders (in such capacity, “Agent”), and the financial institutions
which are parties to the Loan Agreement as lenders (individually, each a “Lender” and collectively,
“Lenders”) have entered or are about to enter into financing arrangements pursuant to which Agent
and Lenders may make loans and advances and provide other financial accommodations to Image
Entertainment, Inc., (“Administrative Borrower”) as set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement,
dated May 4, 2007, by and among Administrative Borrower, certain of its affiliates, Agent and
Lenders (as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended,
renewed, restated or replaced, the “Loan Agreement”), and the other agreements, documents and
instruments referred to therein or at any time executed and/or delivered in connection therewith or
related thereto (all of the foregoing, together with the Loan Agreement, as the same now exist or
may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, being
collectively referred to herein as the “Financing Agreements”);

WHEREAS, as provided under the Loan Agreement, Assignor committed to making Loans (the

“Commitment”);

WHEREAS, Assignor wishes to assign to Assignee [part of the] [all] rights and obligations of
Assignor under the Loan Agreement in respect of its Commitment in an amount equal to
$                     (the “Assigned Commitment Amount”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set

from Assignor on such terms and subject to such conditions;

2. Payments.

(a) As consideration for the sale, assignment and transfer contemplated in Section 1 hereof,
Assignee shall pay to Assignor on the Effective Date in immediately available funds an amount equal
to $                    , representing Assignee’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of all Committed
Loans.

(b) Assignee shall pay to Agent the processing fee in the amount specified in Section 13.7(a)
of the Loan Agreement.

3. Reallocation of Payments. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued to the
Effective Date with respect to the Commitment, Committed Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit
shall be for the account of Assignor. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued on and after
the Effective Date with respect to the Assigned Commitment Amount shall be for the account of
Assignee. Each of Assignor and Assignee agrees that it will hold in trust for the other party any
interest, fees and other amounts which it may receive to which the other party is entitled pursuant
to the preceding sentence and pay to the other party any such amounts which it may receive promptly
upon receipt.

SCHEDULE 8.6

Litigation

	1.	 	Ayub Bey v. Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc. et al. (Case# CV-3583 in the United States
District Court, Southern District of New York): This case is for copyright infringement
for an allegedly unlicensed musical composition that is allegedly included within a certain
Playboy video program. The Company has a full indemnity from Playboy, who produced the titles
at issue. Playboy carries errors and omissions insurance in the amount of at least $1,000,000
per occurrence. The lawsuits have been tendered to Playboy’s insurance carrier, who is
defending the lawsuits on the defendants’ behalf. In the event the plaintiff wins this case,
the Company should be liable in this dispute only to the extent the judgment exceeds
$1,000,000 and to the extent that Playboy (which as of the date of this letter has a market
cap of approximately $300 million) is unable to pay the judgment.

	2.	 	Dear Cinestudi S.p.A. v. International Media Films, Inc. et al. (Case# 03-CIV-3038(RMB)
in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York): This case is for
copyright infringement for a program to which our licensor, International Media Films and/or
Alfredo Leone, allegedly does not have the rights. The Company has a full indemnity from our
licensor, who licensed us the title at issue.

	3.	 	Russian Entertainment Wholesale, Inc. dba St. Petersburg Publishing House v. Close-Up
International, Inc. et al. (Case# CV-05 4073(DGT)(JMA) in the United States District Court,
Eastern District of New York): This case is for copyright infringement for programs to
which our licensor, Widnes Enterprises and/or Roman Dikhtyar, allegedly does not have the
rights. The Company has a full indemnity from our licensor, who licensed us the titles at
issue.

	4.	 	Niche Entertainment, Inc. v. Image Entertainment, Inc. (Case# BC366644 in the Superior
Court for the State of California for the County of Los Angeles): This case is for breach
of contract and related claims on a distribution agreement for a program called “Tha Westside”
brought by our licensor on the program. The Company believes this claim is meritless and
frivolous.

	5.	 	General Home Systems, Inc. v. Image Entertainment, Inc. (Case# A535844 in the District
Court of Clark County, Nevada): This case is for breach of contract and related claims on
clean-up work for a flood that occurred at the Company’s Las Vegas warehouse. The claim is
for $10,000 plus interest, service charges, costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company carries
commercial general liability insurance in the amount of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence.

	6.	 	Image Entertainment, Inc. v. Xyion LLC et al. (Arbitration# 1220035821 at JAMS Los
Angeles): This cross-complaint is for breach of contract and related claims on a license
agreement for programs titled Floss Angeles and Import Flavas 1-5. When the Company sued the
licensor for non-delivery and breach of contract, the licensor filed his cross-complaint. The
Company believes this claim is meritless and frivolous.

 

 

 

	7.	 	Potential Guild Claim regarding The Twilight Zone: There is a potential guild claim
for residuals on The Twilight Zone which has been prepared for arbitration, but CBS is in
negotiations to settle this matter. We have a full indemnity from CBS.

	8.	 	Potential Unauthorized Use Claim regarding La Dolce Vita/The Magic of Fellini: There
is a potential claim alleging unauthorized use of a portion of La Dolce Vita within the
program The Magic of Fellini. We have a full indemnity from our licensor, Piccini
Productions, and E&O insurance is also available. The Company has not sold this title since
September of 2004.

	9.	 	Potential Copyright Infringement Claim regarding From Beyond the Grave: There is a
potential claim alleging copyright infringement of From Beyond the Grave. We have a full
indemnity from our licensor, Retromedia. The Company has advised the claimant that this
program was never released by the Company and does not believe this is a threat.

	10.	 	Potential Photo Use Claim regarding Ella Fitzgerald: First Lady of Song: There is a
potential photo use claim on Ella Fitzgerald: First Lady of Song. An agency claims they own
the rights to the photo of Ella Fitzgerald that we used on our packaging. The program is
scheduled for release on April 17, 2007. We have a full indemnity from our licensor, Lucy II
Productions, and E&O insurance is also available. Our licensor has advised us that they
possess all their releases, including for the photo, and that in their view, the claim is
without merit.

	11.	 	Potential Breach of Contract Claim regarding John Entwhistle: An Ox Tale: There is a
potential breach of contract claim on John Entwhistle: An Ox Tale between our licensor, Icon
Television Music, Inc. dba Act 1 Entertainment, and a third party, Bleeding Edge Music. Both
parties claim the other party breached their agreement (which we are not a party to). Our
licensor refuses to pay the balance of the money under the contract to Bleeding Edge Music
until it cures its alleged breach. We have maintained that the dispute is between our
licensor and Bleeding Edge Music, and that the Company is not a party to their contract and
therefore should not be involved, but Bleeding Edge Music may still attempt to draw us into
their dispute. We have a full indemnity from our licensor, and E&O insurance is also
available.

	12.	 	Potential Copyright Infringement Claim regarding Devil’s Nightmare: There is a
potential claim alleging copyright infringement of Devil’s Nightmare. We have a full
indemnity from our licensor, Salvation Films. Salvation Films is currently in discussions to
resolve this dispute.

	13.	 	Potential Reclamation Claim: There is a potential reclamation claim by a licensor
who we overpaid for music publishing payments. After we discovered the error, we withheld the
overpayments from ongoing quarterly royalty payments to the licensor, RM Associates. During
this time, the licensor went into receivership (a procedure for bankruptcy in the United
Kingdom), and was purchased by Digital Classics. Digital Classics now claims that we did not
have the right to deduct the overpayments, and we dispute their claim. We have an ongoing
relationship with Digital Classics, and are in discussions to resolve this dispute.

 

 

 

	14.	 	Potential Rights Dispute regarding Langrishe Go Down: There is a potential claim
alleging copyright infringement on the title Langrishe Go Down. The Company has a full
indemnity from its licensor, Castle Hill Productions, and E&O insurance is also available.

	15.	 	Potential Rights Dispute regarding Max Ernst: There is a potential claim alleging
copyright infringement on the title Max Ernst. The Company has a full indemnity from its
licensor, RM Associates. This title went into sell-off on December 31, 2006. The Company
currently carries no inventory of the title, and all distribution has been placed on hold.

	16.	 	Cindy Henzel, et al. v. Image Entertainment, Inc. et al. (Case# BC369249 in the Court for
the State of California for the County of Los Angeles): On April 10, 2007, this purported
class action shareholder complaint was filed against Image and certain of its officers and
members of its board of directors in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of
Los Angeles. The named plaintiff proposes to represent a class of the Company’s stockholders
and claims, among other things, that in connection with the proposed business combination
transaction with BTP the directors breached their fiduciary duties of due care, good faith and
loyalty by failing to maximize stockholder value and by creating deterrents to third party
offers. Among other things, the complaint seeks class action status, and a court order
enjoining the consummation of the merger and directing the defendants to take appropriate
steps to maximize stockholder value. While the lawsuit is in its preliminary stage, the
Company believes that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit and intends to vigorously
defend it.

	17.	 	Potential Copyright Infringement Claim regarding Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail:
There is a potential claim alleging copyright infringement of Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail.
We have a full indemnity from our licensor, Digital Classics (formerly RM Associates). The
Company is no longer selling the Program.

	18.	 	Screen Actors Guild v. Elder & Image Entertainment (Arbitration# TM2441): This claim
is based on our licensor Vanskie Elder’s alleged failure to upgrade his SAG agreements from an
experimental film to a home video release for the program “Issues.” The claim is for
additional SAG residuals and contributions to pension and health plans, and for failure to
obtain an assumption agreement from the distributor. Elder was advised by SAG of these issues
in May of 2006, but failed to notify the Company who subsequently released the program. The
Company has advised SAG that it is not responsible under its agreement with Elder for any of
these monies, nor is the Company responsible for any SAG agreements. The Company has further
requested to be removed from the arbitration. The Company has tendered the claim to Elder who
represented and warranted that the Program was fully cleared for distribution, and that he was
responsible for all guild and union fees. This program carries E&O insurance, although a
claim has not yet been tendered to the provider.

	19.	 	Potential Copyright Infringement Claim regarding “Man of Aran” and Potentially “Nanook”
and “Lousiana Story”: There is a potential claim that excerpts from an apparently
unlicensed program entitled “Francis Flaherty: Hidden and Seeking” are contained within the
bonus features of certain films distributed by the Company. The Company has a full indemnity
from our licensors, who licensed us the titles at issue.

 

 

 

	20.	 	Potential Preference Claim by Musicland: On April 2, 2007, the Company received a
letter from the winddown officer for Musicland, seeking to negotiate a settlement of an
alleged preference claim. The amount claimed as preferential transfers was $1,539,468.52, and
the amount conceded as valid defenses was $1,097,769.75, resulting in an alleged “net
preference” amount of $441,698.77. The winddown officer has offered to settle the preference
claim for 90% of $441,698.77, or $397,528.89. The Company believes we have additional
defenses and is in the process of hiring outside bankruptcy counsel to represent it.

	21.	 	Various Collections Matters with Image as Plaintiff: The Company occasionally
initiates collections lawsuits against licensors who have failed to deliver product per their
contractual obligations. These lawsuits are filed in the ordinary course of business, and do
not constitute a material liability.

	22.	 	Various Rights Disputes with Image as Plaintiff: The Company occasionally initiates
lawsuits against third party who have allegedly infringed on product under Image’s control.
These lawsuits are filed in the ordinary course of business, and do not constitute a material
liability.
