         SECTION 1.02. Accounting Terms and Determinations. Unless otherwise
specified in the immediately succeeding sentence or otherwise herein, all
accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations
hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered
hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles as in effect from time to time, applied on a basis consistent (except
for changes concurred in by the Borrowers' independent public accountants) with
the most recent financial statements of the Combined Companies delivered to the
Lenders ("GAAP"); provided that, if the Borrowers notify the Agent that the
Borrowers wish to amend any covenant in Article 5 or any related definition to

                                       29
<PAGE>

eliminate the effect of any change in generally accepted accounting principles
on the operation of such covenant (or if the Agent notifies the Borrowers that
the Required Lenders wish to amend Article 5 or any related definition for such
purpose), then the Borrowers' compliance with such covenant shall be determined
on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in effect immediately
before the relevant change in generally accepted accounting principles became
effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant or definition
is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Required Lenders.
The term "Combined Basis", when used with respect to the determination of any
amount, means that such amount is to be determined by combining (i) the relevant

are of the same Class and Type (subject to Article 8) and, except in the case of
Base Rate Loans, have the same initial Interest Period. Loans hereunder are
distinguished by "Class" and by "Type". The "Class" of a Loan (or of a
Commitment to make such a Loan or of a Borrowing comprised of such Loans or of a
Group of such Loans) refers to the determination whether such Loan is a Tranche
A Loan, Tranche B Loan, a Revolving Loan or a Swing Loan, each of which
constitutes a Class. The "Type" of a Loan refers to the determination whether
such Loan is a Euro-Dollar Loan or a Base Rate Loan. Identification of a Loan
(or a Borrowing) by both Class and Type (e.g., a "Tranche B Euro-Dollar Loan")
indicates that such Loan is both a Tranche B Loan and a Euro-Dollar Loan (or
that such Borrowing or Group of Loans is comprised of such Loans).

                                   ARTICLE 2
                                  THE CREDITS

         SECTION 2.01. Outstanding Term Loans; Commitments to Lend. (a) Tranche
A Loans. Each Tranche A Lender has made a single loan to each Borrower in a
principal amount outstanding on the Effective Date equal to the principal amount
agreed upon on the Effective Date between such Tranche A Lender and the
Borrower. The Tranche A Loans are not revolving in nature and amounts of such
loans repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

                                       30
<PAGE>

          (b)  Tranche B Loans. Each Tranche B Lender has made a single loan to
each Borrower in a principal amount outstanding on the Effective Date equal to
the principal amount agreed upon on the Effective Date between such Tranche B
Lender and the Borrower. The Tranche B Loans are not revolving in nature and
amounts of such loans repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

          (c)  Revolving Loans. During the Revolving Credit Period, each
Revolving Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to make revolving loans to the Borrowers from time to time in amounts
such that the Revolving Exposure of such Revolving Lender at such time shall not
exceed the amount of its Available Revolving Commitment at such time. Each
Borrowing under this subsection shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing
may be in the aggregate amount available in accordance with Section 3.03(c)) and
shall be made from the several Revolving Lenders ratably in proportion to their
respective Revolving Commitments; provided, that the failure of any Revolving
Lender at any time to fulfill its obligation to make a Revolving Loan on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall not in itself excuse any
other Revolving Lender from its obligation to make a Revolving Loan. Within the
foregoing limits, the Borrowers may borrow under this subsection, prepay
Revolving Loans to the extent permitted by Section 2.10 and reborrow at any time
during the Revolving Credit Period under this subsection.

          (d)  Swing Loans. During the Swing Credit Period, the Swing Lender
agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans
to the Borrowers pursuant to this subsection from time to time in amounts such
that at any time (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding
at such time does not exceed the Swing Loan Commitment and (ii) the aggregate
Revolving Exposure at such time does not exceed the aggregate amount of the
Available Revolving Commitments at such time. Each Borrowing under this
subsection shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or any larger
multiple thereof (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount
of the Swing Loan Commitment available in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence). Within the foregoing limits, the Borrowers may borrow under
this subsection, prepay Swing Loans to the extent permitted by Section 2.10 and
reborrow at any time during the Swing Credit Period under this subsection.

          (e)  Conversion of Swing Loans to Revolving Loans. The Swing Lender,
at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on
behalf of either Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing
Lender to act on its behalf), on notice given by the Swing Lender no later than
10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of Borrowing for the
Revolving Loans referred to below, request each Revolving Lender to make, and
each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount

                                       31
<PAGE>

(such amount with respect to each Lender, its "Swing Loan Refund Amount") equal
to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of the aggregate principal
amount of the Swing Loans (the "Refunded Swing Loans") outstanding on the date
of such notice and with respect to which such notice relates, to repay the Swing
Lender. Unless any of the events described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01
with respect to the relevant Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing (in
which case the procedures of Section 2.01(f) shall apply), each Revolving Lender
shall make such Revolving Loan available to the Agent at its address specified
in or pursuant to Section 10.01 in immediately available funds, not later than
12:00 Noon (New York City time), on the date specified in such notice. Each such
Revolving Loan shall initially be made as a Base Rate Loan. The Agent shall pay
the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the Swing Lender, which shall
immediately apply such proceeds to repay Refunded Swing Loans. Effective on the
day such Revolving Loans are made, the portion of the Swing Loans so paid shall
no longer be outstanding as Swing Loans, shall no longer be due as Swing Loans
under the Notes held by the Swing Lender, and shall be due as Revolving Loans
under the respective Notes issued to the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing
Lender) in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages.

          (f)  Purchase of Participations in Swing Loans. If prior to the time
Revolving Loans would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.01(e), one
of the events described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 with respect to the
relevant Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing, each Revolving Lender
shall, on the date such Revolving Loans were to have been made pursuant to the
notice referred to in Section 2.01(e) (the "Refunding Date"), purchase an
undivided participating interest in the Swing Loans in an amount equal to such
Revolving Lender's Swing Loan Refund Amount. On the Refunding Date, each
Revolving Lender shall transfer to the Swing Lender, in immediately available
funds, such Lender's Swing Loan Refund Amount, and upon receipt thereof the
Swing Lender shall deliver to such Revolving Lender a Swing Loan participation
certificate dated the date of the Swing Lender's receipt of such funds and in
the Swing Loan Refund Amount of such Revolving Lender.

          (g)  Payments on Participated Swing Loans. Whenever, at any time after
the Swing Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender's
Swing Loan Refund Amount pursuant to Section 2.01(f), the Swing Lender receives
any payment on account of the Swing Loans in which the Revolving Lenders have
purchased participations pursuant to Section 2.01(f), the Swing Lender will
promptly distribute to each such Revolving Lender its ratable share (determined
on the basis of the Swing Loan Refund Amounts of all of the Revolving Lenders)
of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender's participating
interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however,

                                       32
<PAGE>

that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Lender is required to
be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swing Lender any portion
thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Lender.

          (h)  Obligations to Refund or Purchase Participations in Swing Loans
Absolute. Each Revolving Lender's obligation to transfer the amount of a
Revolving Loan to the Swing Lender as provided in Section 2.01(e) or to purchase
a participating interest pursuant to Section 2.01(f) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Revolving Lender, either Borrower or any other Person may have
against the Swing Lender or any other Person, (ii) the occurrence or continuance
of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination or reduction of any
Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise)
of either Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by
either Borrower, any other Lender or any other Person or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.

          (i)  Amendment to Provide for Tranche C Loans. (i) At any time after
the Effective Date, if no Default shall then have occurred and be continuing,
the Borrowers may in their sole discretion request an amendment of this
Agreement to add a new tranche of term loans to be made to one or both Borrowers
under this Agreement as "Loans" (such tranche, loans and request, respectively,
"Tranche C", the "Tranche C Loans" and the "Tranche C Request"). Any proposed
Tranche C would provide for not more than $200,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of Tranche C Loans, with a final maturity date not earlier than the
Maturity Date of the Tranche B Loans and de minimis amortization prior to the
final maturity date of such Tranche C Loans, and would provide for payments or
offers of payment with respect to Reduction Events that are ratable with or
subsequent to payments or offers of payment with respect to Tranche B Loans. The
Tranche C Loans would otherwise be pari passu with and treated similarly
(including with respect to Collateral) to the other Loans.

               (ii) To make a Tranche C Request, the Borrowers shall send a
          written notice thereof to the Agent not less than 30 days prior to the
          proposed effective date of the amendments with respect thereto,
          setting forth in reasonable detail the proposed aggregate amount of
          Tranche C Loans, relevant margins with respect thereto, maturity date
          and amortization schedule and other material information with respect
          thereto. Upon receipt of such Tranche C Request, the Agent shall
          cooperate with the Borrowers to prepare a proposed amendment or
          amendments to this Agreement and any other relevant Loan Document
          reflecting such Tranche C Request and shall distribute such proposed
          amendment or amendments to the Lenders, together with an offer to each
          Lender at such time to

                                       33
<PAGE>

         assume a commitment with respect to Tranche C Loans (a "Tranche C
         Commitment") ratably in accordance with their respective Credit
         Exposures at such time (its "Pro Rata Share"). If, within the time
         period specified in such distribution, which shall not in any event be
         less than five Domestic Business Days, Lenders holding at least 66 2/3%
         of the aggregate Credit Exposures (or, if at the time of any such
         request the Leverage Ratio was less than 4.5 to 1 on the last day of
         the two consecutive Fiscal Quarters then most recently ended, the
         Required Lenders) approve such proposed amendments (which approval by
         any Lender may, but shall not be required to, include an agreement by
         such Lender to assume a Tranche C Commitment in an amount specified in
         such approval), this Agreement and the relevant Loan Documents will be
         amended as provided in such proposed amendment or amendments to add
         Tranche C, and each Lender agreeing to accept a Tranche C Commitment
         shall be assigned such a commitment in an amount no less than the
         lesser of (i) its offer and (ii) its Pro Rata Share. If one or more of
         the existing Lenders declines so to participate, the Borrowers may
         offer the remaining amounts of the Tranche C Commitments to existing
         Lenders or new financial institutions (each of which new financial
         institutions is subject to the prior written approval of the Agent,
         which shall not be unreasonably withheld), which shall, upon execution
         by such financial institution and effectiveness of the amendments with
         respect to Tranche C, become Lenders with a Tranche C Commitment in the
         amount provided in such acceptance. No Lender that does not agree to
         accept a Tranche C Commitment and execute and deliver any such
         amendments with respect to Tranche C shall have any obligation to make
         any Tranche C Loan.

         SECTION 2.02. Method of Borrowing. (a) The relevant Borrower shall give
the Agent notice (a "Notice of Borrowing") (x) not later than 12:00 Noon (New
York City time) on (1) the date of each Base Rate Borrowing (other than a Swing
Borrowing or a Revolving Borrowing the proceeds of which are to be applied to
repay Refunded Swing Loans) and (2) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before
each Euro-Dollar Borrowing and (y) not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City
time) on the date of each Swing Borrowing, specifying:

             (i) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business
         Day in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Euro-Dollar Business Day
         in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing;

            (ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

           (iii) whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to bear
         interest initially at a rate based on the Base Rate or at a Euro-Dollar
         Rate;

                                       34
<PAGE>

         provided that all Swing Loans shall bear interest at a rate based on
         the Base Rate; and

            (iv) in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the
         initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions
         of the definition of Interest Period.

In no event shall (i) the total number of Groups of Loans at any one time
outstanding exceed 20 or (ii) the total number of Swing Borrowings made in any
one calendar week exceed 3.

          (b)  Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender's ratable share of
such Borrowing (if any) and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be
revocable by such Borrower.

          (c)  Not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of
each Borrowing (or, solely in the case of either a Base Rate Borrowing or a
Swing Borrowing, 1:00 P.M. (New York City time)), each Lender (or, in the case
of a Swing Borrowing, the Swing Lender) shall make available its ratable share
of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York
City, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.01. Unless the Agent
determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been
satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available
to such Borrower by crediting an account of such Borrower maintained with the
Agent and specified by such Borrower prior to the date of such Borrowing or, if
no such account has been specified, at the Agent's aforesaid address.

          (d)  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing
in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section and the Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to such Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so
made such share available to the Agent, such Lender and such Borrower severally
agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at
(i) in the case of such Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the
Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section
2.05 and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender
shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.

                                       35
<PAGE>

         SECTION 2.03. Notes. (a) The Loans of each Lender to each Borrower
shall be evidenced by a single Note of such Borrower payable to the order of
such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal
to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender's Loans.

          (b)  Each Lender may, by notice to either Borrower and the Agent,
request that its Loans of a particular Type or Class to such Borrower be
evidenced by a separate Note in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of such Loans. Each such Note shall be in substantially the
form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that
it evidences solely Loans of the relevant Type or Class. Each reference in this
Agreement to the "Note" of such Lender shall be deemed to refer to and include
any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

          (c)  Upon receipt of each Lender's Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, the
Agent shall forward such Notes to such Lender. Each Lender shall record the
date, amount, Type and Class of each Loan made by it to each Borrower and the
date and amount of each payment of principal made with respect thereto, and may,
if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its
Note of either Borrower, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof
appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each
such Loan to such Borrower then outstanding; provided that the failure of any
Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the
obligations of either Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or any other Loan
Document. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Borrower so to
endorse its Notes and to attach to and make a part of any Note a continuation of
any such schedule as and when required.

         SECTION 2.04. Maturity of Loans; Mandatory Prepayments; Certain
Commitment Reductions. (a) Maturity of Loans.

               (i)   Final Maturity. Each Loan of each Class shall mature, and
         the outstanding principal amount thereof shall be due and payable
         (together with accrued interest thereon), on the Maturity Date for such
         Class of Loans.

              (ii)   Extension of Revolving Credit Period and Swing Credit
         Period. The Revolver Maturity Date and the Swing Termination Date may
         each be extended, in the manner set forth in this subsection, on
         September 30, 2003 and on the first anniversary of such date (an
         "Extension Date") for a period of one year after the then current
         Revolver Maturity Date and Swing Termination Date; provided that the
         Swing Termination Date shall not be extended on any Extension Date
         unless the Revolver Maturity Date

                                       36
<PAGE>

         shall also be extended, in the manner set forth herein, on such
         Extension Date. If the Borrowers wish to request an extension of the
         Revolver Maturity Date and Swing Termination Date on any Extension
         Date, they shall give written notice to that effect to the Agent not
         less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to such Extension Date,
         whereupon the Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Lenders and the
         Swing Lender of such notice. Each Revolving Lender will respond to such
         request, whether affirmatively or negatively, within 30 days; provided
         that any Lender which does not respond to such request within such
         period shall be deemed to have responded to such request negatively. If
         all Revolving Lenders and the Swing Lender respond affirmatively, then,
         subject to receipt by the Agent prior to such Extension Date of
         counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of
         Exhibit D duly completed and signed by all of the parties hereto, the
         Revolver Maturity Date and the Swing Termination Date shall each be
         extended, effective on such Extension Date, for a period of one year to
         the date stated in such Extension Agreement.

          (d)  Mandatory Prepayments and Revolving Commitments Reduction.

               (i)   In addition, the Loans shall be prepaid and the Revolving
         Commitments shall be reduced in the following amounts:

                     (A)  in the event that any Reduction Event shall occur, an
                  amount equal to the Reduction Amount with respect thereto; and

                     (B)  an amount, for each Fiscal Year ending on or after
                  December 31, 1999, equal to the Reduction Amount of Excess
                  Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year.

               (ii)  Subject to Section 2.04(f) in the case of a prepayment of
         the Term Loans in part, the prepayments and reductions required by
         Section 2.04(d)(i)(A) shall be made forthwith upon receipt by any
         MGM/Orion Company of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that if the
         Reduction Amount in respect of any Reduction Event is less than
         $1,000,000, such prepayment or reduction shall be made upon receipt of
         proceeds such that, together with all other such amounts not previously
         applied, the Reduction Amount is equal to at least $1,000,000 and
         provided further, that, at the election of the Borrowers, if the amount
         of any such prepayment to be made exceeds the amount of Base Rate Loans
         then outstanding, such excess amount shall be deposited in escrow
         pursuant to arrangements in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Agent, and such excess shall not be required to be prepaid until the
         last day of the Interest Periods relating to outstanding Euro-Dollar
         Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to or greater than such
         excess amount unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
         or the Required Lenders otherwise determine in their sole discretion
         and so notify the Borrowers. Subject to Section 2.04(f), the
         prepayments and reductions required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection
         shall be made on or before the 105th day after the end of the related
         fiscal year. The Borrowers shall give the Agent at least five Euro-

                                       38
<PAGE>

         Dollar Business Days' notice of each prepayment required pursuant to
         this subsection.

          (e)  Application of Prepayments, Repayments and Revolving Commitment
Reductions.

               (i)  The prepayments and reductions required pursuant to
          subsection (d) shall be effected in the following order: first, the
          Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans until the Term Loans have been
          paid in full (subject to Section 2.04(f) in the case of a prepayment
          of the Term Loans in part), second, the Revolving Commitments shall be
          reduced and third, solely if such prepayment is to be made after the
          Revolving Credit Period, the Borrowers shall prepay Revolving Loans
          until the Revolving Loans have been paid in full.

              (ii)  Subject to Section 2.04(f), each prepayment of the Term
          Loans made by the Borrowers pursuant to subsection (d) shall be
          allocated pro rata on the basis of principal amount between the then
          outstanding Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans.

             (iii)  If on the date of any reduction of the Revolving Commitments
          pursuant to subsection (d) the aggregate Revolving Exposure on such
          date exceeds the aggregate Available Revolving Commitments on such
          date, the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to such excess to
          prepay the Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Loans (or both) and/or cash
          collateralize Letters of Credit so that after giving effect thereto
          the Revolving Exposure of each Revolving Lender does not exceed its
          Revolving Credit Commitment as then reduced. Amounts to be applied
          pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be applied first to repay the
          principal amount of the Swing Loans then outstanding until all such
          Swing Loans shall have been repaid in full, second to repay the
          principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding until
          all such Revolving Credit Loans shall have been repaid in full and
          third if any excess then remains such excess shall be deposited in the
          Cash Collateral Account established pursuant to Section 6(C) of the
          Security Agreement to be held, applied or released for application as
          provided in the Security Agreement. In determining Revolving Exposure
          for purposes of this clause (iii), Letter of Credit Liabilities shall
          be reduced to the extent that they are cash collateralized as
          contemplated by the previous sentence.

             (iv)   Subject to clause (ii) of this subsection, each repayment or
          prepayment of Loans of any Class made by either Borrower pursuant to
          this Section shall be applied to such Group or Groups of Loans of such
          Class as such Borrower may designate in the applicable Notice of

                                       39
<PAGE>

         Borrowing or Notice of Interest Rate Election (or, failing such
         designation, as determined by the Agent), and, except as provided in
         subsection (f) with respect to Tranche B Loans, shall be applied to
         repay ratably the Loans of such Class of the several Lenders included
         in such Group or Groups.

              (v)   The amount of any prepayment of the Term Loans made by the
         Borrowers pursuant to subsection (d) (other than as a result of any
         event set forth in clause (ii) or (iii) in the definition of "Reduction
         Event") shall be applied to reduce the amount of subsequent scheduled
         repayments of the Term Loans pursuant to subsections (b) or (c) above,
         as the case may be, in inverse order of maturtity. The amount of any
         prepayment of the Term Loans made by the Borrowers pursuant to
         subsection (d) set forth in clause (ii) or (iii) in the definition of
         "Reduction Event" shall be applied to reduce the amount of subsequent
         scheduled repayments of the Term Loans pursuant to subsections (b) or
         (c) above, as the case may be, ratably to all remaining amortization
         payments.

          (f)  Option of Tranche B Lenders Not to Accept Prepayments.

               (i)  The Borrowers shall (x) at least one Domestic Business Day
          prior to any date (an "Unscheduled Prepayment Date") on which any
          prepayment of the Tranche B Loans (a "Tranche B Unscheduled
          Prepayment"), other than a prepayment of the Tranche B Loans in whole,
          would, but for the provisions of this subsection (f), otherwise have
          been made pursuant to Section 2.04(d) or 2.10(a), deliver a notice
          conforming to the requirements of subsection (f)(ii) (a "Tranche B
          Prepayment Notice") to the Agent and (y) on or prior to such
          Unscheduled Prepayment Date, deposit in the Tranche B Prepayment
          Account established pursuant to Section 6(A) of the Security Agreement
          an amount equal to the principal amount that would have been payable
          by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.04(d) or 2.10(a) on such
          Unscheduled Prepayment Date in respect of such Tranche B Unscheduled
          Prepayment. Such Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment shall not occur on
          such Unscheduled Payment Date but shall instead be deferred as
          hereinafter provided in this subsection (f). Upon receipt of any
          Tranche B Prepayment Notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each
          Tranche B Lender of the contents hereof.

               (ii) Each Tranche B Prepayment Notice shall be in writing, shall
          refer to this Section 2.04(f) and shall (w) set forth the amount of
          the Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment and the prepayment that the
          applicable Tranche B Lender will be entitled to receive if it accepts
          prepayment of its Tranche B Loans in accordance with this subsection,
          (x) contain an offer to prepay on a specified date (each such date, a
          "Deferred Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment Date"), which shall not be
          less

                                       40
<PAGE>

         than 20 days or more than 25 days after the date of such Tranche B
         Prepayment Notice, the Tranche B Loans of such Tranche B Lender by an
         aggregate principal amount equal to such Tranche B Lender's ratable
         share of such Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment (determined by reference
         to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's Tranche B Loan as
         a proportion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
         Tranche B Loans of all of the Tranche B Lenders), (y) request such
         Tranche B Lender to notify the Borrowers and the Agent in writing, no
         later than the fifth Domestic Business Day prior to the Deferred
         Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment Date, of such Tranche B Lender's
         acceptance or rejection (in each case, in whole and not in part) of
         such offer of prepayment and (z) inform such Tranche B Lender that the
         failure by such Tranche B Lender to reject such offer in writing on or
         before the fifth day prior to such Deferred Tranche B Unscheduled
         Prepayment Date shall be deemed an acceptance of such prepayment offer.
         Each Tranche B Prepayment Notice shall be given by telecopy, confirmed
         hand delivery or overnight courier service, in each case addressed to
         the Agent and each Tranche B Lender as provided in Section 10.01.

               (iii)   On each Deferred Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment Date,
         the Agent shall withdraw from the Tranche B Prepayment Account the
         aggregate amount required to prepay the Tranche B Loans of each of the
         Tranche B Lenders that shall have accepted (or been deemed to have
         accepted) prepayment in accordance with the related Tranche B
         Prepayment Notice (each, an "Accepting Tranche B Lender") and shall
         cause such amount to be applied on behalf of the Borrowers to prepay
         the outstanding Tranche B Loans of the Accepting Tranche B Lenders.

               (iv)    Any amount remaining in the Tranche B Prepayment Account
         on any Deferred Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment Date after giving
         effect to the prepayments required by clause (iii) above (exclusive of
         any interest or profits with respect to amounts held in the Tranche B
         Prepayment Account) shall be withdrawn and applied by the Agent (x) to
         prepay the principal of the then outstanding Tranche B Loans of the
         Accepting Tranche B Lenders and, if the Borrowers so elect, the then
         outstanding Tranche A Loans, in each case ratably in proportion to
         their then outstanding principal amounts (including the Tranche A Loans
         only if the Borrowers so elect), and/or (y) after all Term Loans have
         been repaid, to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, all in
         accordance with subsection (d) above or Section 2.10(a), as applicable.

         SECTION 2.05.  Interest Rates.  (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and
including the date such Loan is made to but excluding the date it becomes due or
is converted

                                       41
<PAGE>

into a Euro-Dollar Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) the Base
Rate Margin plus (y) the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date. Any overdue principal of or
interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each
day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate
otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

          (b)  Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable
thereto, from and including the first day thereof to but excluding the last day
thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin for such
day plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest
Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day
thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals
of three months after the first day thereof and, with respect to the principal
amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan converted to a Base Rate Loan, on each date a
Euro-Dollar Loan is so converted.

          The "Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any
Interest Period means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained (rounded
upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i) the
applicable London Interbank Offered Rate by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage. The Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate shall be adjusted
automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage.

          The "London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any Interest Period
means the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%)
of the respective rates per annum at which deposits in dollars are offered to
each of the Reference Lenders in the London interbank market at approximately
11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of
such Interest Period in an amount approximately equal to the principal amount of
the Euro-Dollar Loan of such Reference Lender to which such Interest Period is
to apply and for a period of time comparable to such Interest Period.

          "Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage" means for any day that percentage
(expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for
determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member Lender of the Federal
Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding five billion dollars in
respect of "Eurocurrency liabilities" (or in respect of any other category of
liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or

                                       42
<PAGE>

other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to
United States residents).

          (c)  Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan
shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per
annum equal to the higher of (i) the sum of 2% plus the Euro-Dollar Margin for
such day plus the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next
higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (x) the average (rounded upward, if necessary,
to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one
day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Dollar Business
Days, then for such other period of time not longer than three months as the
Agent may select) deposits in dollars in an amount approximately equal to such
overdue payment due to each of the Reference Lenders are offered to such
Reference Lender in the London interbank market for the applicable period
determined as provided above by (y) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve
Percentage (or, if the circumstances described in Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(b)
shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable
to Base Rate Loans for such day) and (ii) the sum of 2% plus the Euro-Dollar
Margin for such day plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate applicable
to such Loan at the date such payment was due.

          (d)  The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the
Loans hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers and the
participating Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its
determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (e)  Each Reference Lender agrees to use its best efforts to furnish
quotations to the Agent as contemplated by this Section. If any Reference Lender
does not furnish a timely quotation, the Agent shall determine the relevant
interest rate on the basis of the quotation or quotations furnished by the
remaining Reference Lender or Lenders or, if none of such quotations is
available on a timely basis, the provisions of Section 8.01 shall apply.

         SECTION  2.06.  Fees.  (a)  During the Revolving Credit Period, the
Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a
commitment fee at the Commitment Fee Rate (determined daily in accordance with
the Pricing Schedule) on the daily amount by which such Revolving Lender's
Revolving Commitment exceeds the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of its Revolving Loans and (y) its Letter of Credit Liabilities. Such
commitment fee shall accrue from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments in their
entirety.

          (b)  The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (i) for the account of the
Revolving Lenders ratably in proportion to their Revolving Commitments a letter
of credit fee accruing daily on the aggregate amount then available for drawing

                                       43
<PAGE>

under all Letters of Credit at the Letter of Credit Fee Rate (determined in
accordance with the Pricing Schedule) and (ii) for the account of each L/C
Issuer a letter of credit fronting fee accruing daily on the aggregate amount
then available for drawing under all Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer
at a rate per annum equal to 1/4 of 1%.

          (c)  Accrued fees under Sections 2.06(a) and (b) shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and
on the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments in their entirety (and,
if later, the date on which the aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities shall
have been reduced to $0).

         SECTION 2.07. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. During
the Revolving Credit Period the Borrowers may, upon at least three Domestic
Business Days' notice to the Agent, (i) terminate the Revolving Commitments at
any time, if no Revolving Loans, no Swing Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities
are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably reduce from time to time by an
aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, the aggregate
amount of the Revolving Commitments in excess of the aggregate Revolving
Exposure at such time.

         SECTION 2.08. Method of Electing Interest Rates. (a) The Loans included
in each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified by the relevant
Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.02; provided that the Type of any Loans outstanding under the
Original Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be the
Type which such Loans are immediately prior to the Effective Date). On and after
the Effective Date, the relevant Borrower may from time to time elect to change
or continue the Type of Loans in each Group of Loans (other than any Group of
Loans which are Swing Loans), subject in each case to the provisions of Article
8, as follows:

               (i)    if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, such Borrower may elect
         to convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar
         Business Day; provided that no Base Rate Loans shall be converted to
         Euro-Dollar Loans if at the time such conversion is to be effective, an
         Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

               (ii)   if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, such Borrower may
         elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans as of any Domestic
         Business Day or to continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an
         additional Interest Period as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day, subject
         to Section 2.12 in the case of any such conversion or continuation
         effective on any day other than the last day of the then current
         Interest Period

                                       44
<PAGE>

         applicable to such Loans; provided that no Euro-Dollar Loans shall be
         continued as Euro-Dollar Loans if at the time such continuation is to
         be effective, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a "Notice of Interest
Rate Election") to the Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on
the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before the conversion or continuation
selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election
may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal
amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is
allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to
which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply,
are each $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000. If no Notice of
Interest Election is timely received prior to the end of an Interest Period for
any Group of Loans, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such
Group of Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans as of the last day of such
Interest Period. In no event shall the total number of Groups of Loans at any
time outstanding exceed 20.

          (b)   Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

                (i)   the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such
          notice applies;

                (ii)  the date on which the conversion or continuation selected
         in such notice is to be effective, subject to the provisos set forth in
         Sections 2.08(a)(i) and 2.08(a)(ii);

               (iii)  if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted,
         the new Type of Loans and, if the Loans being converted are to be Euro-
         Dollar Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period
         applicable thereto; and

               (iv)   if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for
         an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest
         Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall
comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

         (c)   Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from either
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08(a), the Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable
by such Borrower.

                                       45
<PAGE>

          (d)  An election by either Borrower to change or continue the rate of
interest applicable to any Group of Loans pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a "Borrowing" subject to the provisions of Section 3.03.

          SECTION 2.09.  Mandatory Termination of Commitments.  (a) Revolving
Commitments. The Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolver Maturity
Date.

          (b)  Swing Loan Commitment. The Swing Loan Commitment shall terminate
on the Swing Termination Date.

          SECTION 2.10.  Optional  Prepayments.  (a) Subject, in the case of any
Borrowing of Euro-Dollar Loans to Section 2.12 and, in the case of any Borrowing
of Tranche B Loans, to Section 2.04(f), either Borrower may, upon at least one
Domestic Business Day's notice to the Agent, prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans
or upon at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days' notice to the Agent, prepay
any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, in each case in whole at any time, or from time
to time in part in amounts aggregating $5,000,000 (or, solely in the case of any
Group of Loans which are Swing Loans, $1,000,000) or any larger multiple of
$1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with, in the
case of a prepayment of Euro-Dollar Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date
of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably
the Loans of the several Lenders included in such Group.

          (b)  Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section,
the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such
Lender's ratable share of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter
be revocable by such Borrower.

          (c)  Subject to Section 2.04(f), each prepayment of the Term Loans
made by either Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be allocated pro
rata on the basis of principal amount between the then outstanding Tranche A
Loans and Tranche B Loans.

          (d)  Each prepayment of the Term Loans of either Class made by either
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be applied as follows: first, to reduce
the amount of the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loans (if any) of
such Class to be made within 180 days of the date such prepayment is made in
forward order until such amount shall have been paid in full and thereafter to
reduce the amount of subsequent scheduled repayments to the Term Loans of such
Class in inverse order of maturity.

         SECTION 2.11.  General Provisions as to Payments.  (a) The Borrowers
shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of
Letter

                                       46
<PAGE>

of Credit Liabilities and of fees hereunder (other than fees payable directly to
any L/C Issuer), not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when
due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the
Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.01. The Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the
Agent for the account of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of Letter of Credit Liabilities or of fees
shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever
any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due
on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such
Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date
for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the
date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise,
interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

          (b)  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the relevant
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from such Borrower to the
Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent
on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be
distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then
due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have so made
such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such
amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such
Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

         SECTION 2.12.  Funding Losses.  If either Borrower makes any payment of
principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan or any Euro-Dollar Loan is
converted (pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an
applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.05(c), or if either Borrower fails
to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has
been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.02(a), 2.04(d), 2.08 or
2.10, such Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for
any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or, without duplication, by an
existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without
limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits
from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such
payment or conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue,
provided that such Lender shall have delivered to such Borrower a certificate as
to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error.

                                       47
<PAGE>

         SECTION 2.13.  Computation of Interest and Fees.  Interest based on the
Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day).

         SECTION 2.14.  Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each L/C Issuer agrees to issue letters of credit hereunder
from time to time before the tenth day before the Revolver Maturity Date upon
the request of either Borrower (the "Letters of Credit"); provided that,
immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the aggregate amount of
the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed the Letter of Credit
Commitment and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposures shall not
exceed the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments. Upon the
date of issuance by an L/C Issuer of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each
Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further
action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the L/C Issuer, a
participation in such Letter of Credit and all of the related Letter of Credit
Liabilities pro rata to their respective Revolving Percentages.

          (b)  The relevant Borrower shall give the L/C Issuer notice at least
three Domestic Business Days prior to the requested issuance of a Letter of
Credit specifying the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and describing
the terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions to be
supported thereby (such notice, including any such notice given in connection
with the extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit, a "Notice of Issuance").
Upon receipt of a Notice of Issuance, the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the
Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the contents
thereof and of the amount of such Revolving Lender's participation in such
Letter of Credit. The issuance by the L/C Issuer of each Letter of Credit shall,
in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.03, be subject to
the conditions precedent that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and
contain such terms as shall be satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and that such
Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements
relating to such Letter of Credit as the L/C Issuer shall have reasonably
requested. Such Borrower shall also pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account
issuance, drawing, amendment and extension charges in the amounts and at the
times as agreed between such Borrower and the L/C Issuer. The extension or
renewal of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance of such Letter
of Credit, and if any Letter of Credit contains a provision pursuant to which it
is deemed to be extended unless notice of termination is given by the L/C
Issuer, the L/C Issuer shall timely give such notice of termination unless it
has theretofore timely received a Notice of Issuance and the other conditions to
issuance of a Letter of Credit have also theretofore been

                                       48
<PAGE>

met with respect to such extension. No Letter of Credit shall have a term
extending or be extendible beyond the date which is ten days prior to the
Revolver Maturity Date.

          (c)  Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any
notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the
Agent and the Agent shall promptly give notice (a "Draw Notice") to such
Borrower and each Revolving Lender as to the amount to be paid as a result of
such demand or drawing and the payment date. Upon receipt of a Draw Notice by
such Borrower, such Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated
to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amounts paid by the L/C Issuer upon any
drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or
other formalities of any kind on the second Domestic Business Day following the
date of receipt. Regardless of if and when a Draw Notice is given to or received
by such Borrower, all such amounts paid by the L/C Issuer and remaining unpaid
by such Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and
including the date of payment by the L/C Issuer until paid at a rate per annum
equal to (x) to but not including the due date determined in accordance with the
preceding sentence, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day and (y)
on and after such due date, the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate
Revolving Loans for such day. In addition, each Revolving Lender will pay to the
Agent, for the account of the L/C Issuer, immediately upon the L/C Issuer's
demand at any time during the period commencing after such drawing until
reimbursement therefor in full by such Borrower, an amount equal to such
Lender's ratable share of such drawing (in proportion to its participation
therein), together with interest on such amount for each day from the date of
the L/C Issuer demand for such payment (or, if such demand is made after 12:00
Noon (New York City time) on such date, from the next succeeding Domestic
Business Day) to the date of payment by such Lender of such amount at the
Federal Funds Rate. The L/C Issuer will pay to each Revolving Lender ratably all
amounts received from such Borrower for application in payment of its
reimbursement obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit, but only to the
extent such Revolving Lender has made payment to the L/C Issuer in respect of
such Letter of Credit pursuant hereto.

          (d)   The obligations of the Borrowers and each Revolving Lender under
subsection (c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall
be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all
circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following
circumstances:

               (i)  any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
          any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

                                       49
<PAGE>

               (ii)  any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from
         all or any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit
         or any document related hereto or thereto;

               (iii) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or
         any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any
         Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

               (iv)  the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
         rights that either Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary
         of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be
         acting), the Lenders (including the L/C Issuer) or any other Person,
         whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or
         any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

               (v)   any statement or any other document presented under a
         Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
         respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
         respect whatsoever;

               (vi)  payment under a Letter of Credit against presentation to
         the L/C Issuer of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the
         terms of the Letter of Credit; or

               (vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by
         any Lender (including the L/C Issuer ), the Agent or any other Person,
         but for the provisions of this subsection (vii), constitute a legal or
         equitable discharge of either Borrower's or the Lender's obligations
         hereunder.

Nothing in this subsection (d) is intended to limit the right of either Borrower
to make a claim against the L/C Issuer for damages as contemplated by the
proviso to the first sentence of subsection (e).

         (e)   Each Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each L/C
Issuer and the Agent (and, to the extent any other Lender shall have contributed
toward or indemnified against any such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or
expense, incurred by an L/C Issuer or the Agent, each such other Lender) from
and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses
which it may incur (including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses which the L/C Issuer may incur by reason of or in
connection with the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its
obligations to such L/C Issuer hereunder), and none of the Lenders (including an
L/C Issuer) nor the Agent nor any of their officers or directors or employees or
agents shall be liable or responsible, by reason of or in connection with the
execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any
Letter

                                       50
<PAGE>

of Credit, including without limitation any of the circumstances enumerated in
subsection (d) above, as well as (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay
in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or
otherwise, (ii) any error in interpretation of technical terms, (iii) any loss
or delay in the transmission of any document required in order to make a drawing
under a Letter of Credit, (iv) any consequences arising from causes beyond the
control of the L/C Issuer, including without limitation any government acts, or
(v) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment
under such Letter of Credit; provided that no Borrower shall be required to
indemnify any Lender for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or
expenses, and each Borrower shall have a claim against the L/C Issuer for direct
(but not consequential) damage suffered by it, to the extent found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have been caused by (x) the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of the L/C Issuer in determining whether a request presented
under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or
(y) the L/C Issuer's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of the Letter of Credit. Nothing in this subsection (e) is intended to limit the
obligations of either Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. To
the extent the Borrowers do not indemnify an L/C Issuer as required by this
subsection, the Revolving Lenders agree to do so ratably in accordance with
their Revolving Commitments.

obligation of any Lender to make a Loan on the occasion of any Borrowing (other
than the obligation of any Lender to make a Refunding Swing Loan), and the

Section, any renewal or extension of the term of) any Letter of Credit are each
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

         (a)   receipt by the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing as required by
Section 2.01 or receipt by the L/C Issuer of a Notice of Issuance as required by

specified in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of this Section.

                        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Each Borrower represents and warrants that:

         SECTION 4.01. Corporate Existence and Power. Each Obligor is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and has all corporate powers and
all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals
required to carry on its business as now conducted, except to the extent that
the failure to have such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals could
not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 4.02. Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No
Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party (i) are within the corporate powers of
such Obligor and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action,
(ii) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental
body, agency or official, other than actions or filings which have been taken or
made on or prior to the Effective Date or, solely with respect to filings
necessary to perfect any security interest created under any of the Collateral
Documents, will be made on or prior to 5 Domestic Business Days after the
Effective Date, (iii) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any
provision (A) of applicable law or regulation, (B) of the articles or
certificate of incorporation or by-laws of such Obligor, (C) of any agreement or
instrument under which Debt has or may be incurred binding upon MGM or any of
its Subsidiaries, (D) of any other agreement or instrument binding upon MGM or
any of its Subsidiaries which contravention or default could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (E) of any judgment, injunction,
order or decree binding upon MGM or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) result in
the creation or imposition of any Lien on any material asset of MGM or any of
its Subsidiaries.

         SECTION 4.03. Binding Effect. The Loan Documents (other than the Notes)
to which each Obligor is a party constitute valid and binding agreements of such
Obligor and each Note of each Borrower, when executed and delivered in
accordance with this Agreement, will constitute a valid and binding obligation
of such Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms except
(i) as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and (ii) as may be limited by equitable principles
of general applicability.

         SECTION 4.04. Financial Information; Information Memorandum. (a) The
consolidated balance sheets of each of MGM Studios and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries and Orion and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999

                                       54
<PAGE>

and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the fiscal
year then ended, reported on by Arthur Andersen LLP, a copy of which has been
delivered to each of the Lenders, fairly present, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial position of each of
MGM Studios and its Consolidated Subsidiaries and Orion and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries, respectively, as of such date and their respective consolidated
results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year.

          (b)  [Intentionally Deleted].

          (c)  [Intentionally Deleted].

          (d)  The projections set forth in the Information Memorandum were
prepared in good faith on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of
preparation thereof.

          (e)  Since December 31, 1999 there has been no material adverse change
in the assets or liabilities or the business, financial position or results of
operations of the Combined Companies, considered as a whole, except for any such
change as a result of (x) any change resulting from general economic, financial
or market conditions not specific to the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries or the business in which they operate or (y) any change resulting
from conditions or circumstances generally affecting the business in which the
Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries operate (including losses from the
release of Films in the ordinary course of business).

         SECTION 4.05. Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.05, there
is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of either
Borrower threatened against or affecting, MGM or any of its Subsidiaries or
questioning the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents, in each case
before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 4.06. Compliance with ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an
"accumulated funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code
or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the
date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any
Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA and the Code, except in each case to the extent that the
same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the
PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period, except to the extent
that the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer
Plan (based

                                       55
<PAGE>

on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual
valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed
made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued
benefits, except to the extent that the same could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither MGM nor any Commonly Controlled Entity
has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and
neither MGM nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any
liability under ERISA if MGM or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to
withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most
closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made,
except in each case to the extent that the same could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. No such Multiemployer Plan is in
Reorganization or Insolvent. Neither MGM nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
liability for any post-retirement welfare benefits.

         SECTION 4.07. Environmental Compliance. In the ordinary course of its
business, each Borrower conducts an ongoing review of the effect of
Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of such Borrower
and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates
associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or
operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently
or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve
or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or
as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on
operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any
facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations
conducted thereat, any costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal
of wastes or Hazardous Substances, and any actual or potential liabilities to
third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the
basis of this review, each Borrower has reasonably concluded that such
associated liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with
Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 4.08. Taxes. MGM and its Subsidiaries have filed all United
States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are
required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such
returns or pursuant to any assessment received by MGM or any Subsidiary (other
than any such taxes being contested in good faith by appropriate proceeding and
with respect to which appropriate reserves in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been taken). The charges, accruals and reserves on
the books of MGM and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental
charges are, in the opinion of the Borrowers, adequate.

                                       56
<PAGE>

         SECTION 4.09. Subsidiaries. (a) Each of the Material Subsidiaries of
either Borrower is a corporation or other business entity duly incorporated or
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and has all corporate or other
powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except to the
extent that the failure of such Material Subsidiaries to maintain their
respective good standing or to have such licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals could not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect (or its existence has been terminated as permitted under Section
5.04 or it has merged or consolidated with another Person as permitted under
Section 5.07(a)).

          (b)  Schedule 4.09 lists all of the Material Subsidiaries of each
Borrower (including any Material Subsidiary the existence of which has been
terminated as permitted under Section 5.04 or which has merged or consolidated
with another Person as permitted under Section 5.07(a)). Each Material
Subsidiary of a Borrower (other than Foreign Subsidiaries and Single Purpose
Subsidiaries) is a Guarantor. Each Guarantor is a direct or indirect wholly-
owned Subsidiary of a Borrower.

         SECTION 4.10. Regulatory Restrictions on Borrowing. None of the
Borrowers is an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, a "holding company" within the meaning of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or otherwise subject to
any regulatory scheme which restricts its ability to incur debt.

         SECTION 4.11. Full Disclosure. No information heretofore or hereafter
furnished by any Obligor to the Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in
connection with the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby
contains or, taken together with all information so furnished will contain, any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

         SECTION 4.12. Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Schedule
4.05, each of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries owns, or is a
licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights (including without
limitation any copyrights relating to Library Films), technology, know-how and
processes necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as currently
conducted (the "Intellectual Property"), except to the extent that the failure
to own or be licensed to use any such Intellectual Property could not in the
aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has
been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of
any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual

                                       57
<PAGE>

Property, nor does either Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim,
except, in each case, for claims which could not in the aggregate reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by
any MGM/Orion Company does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except to
the extent that such infringements could not in the aggregate reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 4.13. Collateral Documents. The representations and warranties
made by the Obligors in the Collateral Documents are true and correct in all
material respects.

         SECTION 4.14. Solvency. As of the Effective Date after giving effect to
the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on the Effective Date, and at all
times thereafter: (i) the aggregate fair market value of the business and/or
assets of each Borrower, and of the Obligors, taken as a whole, will in each
case exceed its or their respective liabilities (including contingent,
subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities), (ii) each Borrower will,
and the Obligors, taken as a whole, will, have sufficient cash flow to enable it
or them (as the case may be) to pay its or their debts as they mature and (iii)
the MGM/Orion Companies will not have unreasonably small capital for the
business in which the MGM/Orion Companies are engaged.

         SECTION 4.15. Regulation U. After giving effect to the issuance of any
Letters of Credit and the application of the proceeds of any Loans, not more
than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries is represented by "margin stock" as defined in Regulation U.

                                   ARTICLE 5
                                   COVENANTS

         Each Borrower agrees that, so long as any Lender has any Commitment
hereunder or any amount payable under any Note or any Letter of Credit Liability
remains unpaid:

         SECTION 5.01. Information. The Borrowers will deliver to the Agent,
with sufficient copies for all Lenders (and the Agent shall deliver promptly
upon receipt to the Lenders):

          (a)  as soon as available and in any event within 105 days after the
end of each Fiscal Year, (i) an audited combined balance sheet of the Combined

on without material qualification by independent public accountants of
nationally recognized standing and (ii) an unaudited combined statement of cash
flows of the Combined Companies for such Fiscal Year, setting forth in
reasonable detail a calculation of combined cash flows from operations of the
Combined Companies for such Fiscal Year (determined in a manner consistent with

          (b)  as soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the
end of each of the first three Fiscal Quarters of each Fiscal Year, (i) a

forth in the case of such statements of operations and cash flows, in
comparative form the figures for the corresponding Fiscal Quarter and the
corresponding portion of the previous Fiscal Year, all certified (subject to
normal year-end adjustments) as to fairness of presentation, generally accepted
accounting principles and consistency by the chief financial officer or the
chief accounting officer of each Borrower and (ii) an unaudited combined
statement of cash flows of the Combined Companies for such Fiscal Quarter and
the portion of the Fiscal Year ended at the end of such Fiscal Quarter, setting

ended at the end of such Fiscal Quarter (determined in a manner consistent with
the statements of cash flows included in the Information Memorandum);

pursuant to Ordinary Course Library Film Licensing Agreements), (y) whether the
Borrowers are in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.25 on the date of
such financial statements and, for purposes of such calculation, Film Value
shall be as set forth in the appraisal report delivered on or most recently
prior to such date pursuant to Section 5.01(j) (averaged, if necessary, in
accordance with the definition thereof) and adjusted to give effect to

                                       59
<PAGE>

all Film Value Asset Dispositions (other than pursuant to Ordinary Course
Library Film Licensing Agreements) consummated after the date as of which such
appraisal report has been prepared (but including any payments to be made (but
not yet made) to any Obligor pursuant to the agreements governing any such Film
Value Asset Disposition and constituting a portion of the purchase price with
respect to the Film Value Asset disposed pursuant to such Film Value Asset

knowledge of any Default, if such Default is then continuing, a certificate of
the chief financial officer or the chief accounting officer of the relevant
Borrower setting forth the details thereof and the action which the Borrowers

Library Films of MGM Studios prepared by Furman Selz LLC and dated August 1996;

                                       61
<PAGE>

          (k)  within 30 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the operating
and capital expenditure budgets and cash flow forecasts of each of the Borrowers
and their respective Consolidated Subsidiaries and the Combined Companies for
the immediately succeeding Fiscal Year, which budgets and forecasts shall be in
format and scope reasonably consistent with the projections, budgets and
forecasts set forth in the Information Memorandum; and

          (l)  from time to time such additional information regarding the
financial position or business of the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries or any other Obligor as the Agent, at the request of any Lender,
may reasonably request.

         SECTION 5.02. Payment of Obligations. Each Borrower will pay and
discharge, and will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to pay and
discharge, at or before maturity, all their respective material obligations and
liabilities (including, without limitation, tax liabilities and claims of
materialmen, warehousemen and the like which if unpaid might by law give rise to
a Lien), except (i) where the same may be contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, and will maintain, and will cause each Material Subsidiary to
maintain, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
appropriate reserves for the accrual of any of the same and (ii) where the
failure to pay or discharge such obligations and liabilities could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 5.03. Maintenance of Property; Insurance. (a) Each Borrower
will keep, and will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to keep, all
property useful and necessary in its business in good working order and
condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except where the failure to do so
could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          (b)  Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Material
Subsidiaries to, maintain (in the name of such Borrower or such Subsidiary) with
financially sound and responsible insurance companies, insurance on their
respective properties in at least such amounts, against at least such risks and
with such risk retention as are usually maintained, insured against or retained,
as the case may be, in the same general area by companies of established repute
engaged in the same or a similar business (but including in any event public
liability insurance and "errors and omissions" insurance); and will furnish to
the Lenders, upon request from the Agent, information presented in reasonable
detail as to the insurance so carried.

         SECTION 5.04. Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. Each
Borrower will continue, and will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to
continue, to engage in business of the same general type as now conducted by
such Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries and other businesses reasonably

                                       62
<PAGE>

incidental thereto and will preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect,
and will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to preserve, renew and keep in
full force and effect their respective corporate existence and their respective
rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct
of business, except to the extent that the failure to keep in full force and
effect such rights, privileges and franchises could not in the aggregate
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that (i)
either Borrower may liquidate or terminate the corporate existence of any of its
Material Subsidiaries if, prior to or contemporaneously with such liquidation or
termination, substantially all of the assets of such Material Subsidiary are
distributed, contributed or otherwise transferred to a Borrower or a Guarantor
and (ii) nothing in this Section 5.04 shall prohibit any transaction explicitly
permitted by the proviso set forth in Section 5.07(a).

         SECTION 5.05. Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower will comply, and will
cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to comply, in all material respects with
all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and requirements of
governmental authorities (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws and
ERISA and the rules and regulations thereunder) except (i) where the necessity
of compliance therewith is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or
(ii) to the extent that failure to so comply could not in the aggregate
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 5.06. Inspection of Property, Books and Records. Each Borrower
will keep, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to keep, proper books of
record and account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all
dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities; and will
permit, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to permit, representatives of
the Agent, at the Agent's or the Lenders' expense, to visit and inspect any of
their respective properties, to examine and make abstracts from any of their
respective books and records and to discuss their respective affairs, finances
and accounts with their respective officers, employees and independent public
accountants, all at such reasonable times during normal business hours and upon
reasonable prior notice, and as often as may reasonably be desired.

         SECTION 5.07. Mergers and Sales of Assets; Licensing Agreements. (a)
Each Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Material Subsidiaries to,
consolidate or merge with or into any other Person; provided that (i) either
Borrower may merge with another Person if such Borrower is the corporation
surviving such merger and immediately after giving effect to such merger, no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) any Material Subsidiary
may merge with any other Person if the corporation surviving the merger is a
Borrower or a Guarantor and immediately after giving effect to such merger, no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

                                       63
<PAGE>

          (b)  Each Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale unless (i) such Asset Sale is for fair
market value, as determined in good faith by the Borrowers taking into account
current practices in the entertainment industry, (ii) immediately after giving
effect to such Asset Sale, (x) the aggregate proceeds (including the fair market
value of any non-cash proceeds) received by the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries from all Asset Sales consummated on and after the Effective Date
does not exceed 15% of Combined Adjusted Net Worth determined on the basis of
the most recent financial statements delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to
Section 4.04, 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), as the case may be, (y) the Borrowers shall be
in Pro Forma Compliance and (z) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and (iii) if after giving effect to such Asset Sale the aggregate fair market
value of all Film Value Assets that have been disposed of pursuant to Film Value
Asset Dispositions during the then current Fiscal Year (other than pursuant to
Ordinary Course Library Film Licensing Agreements) exceeds $100,000,000, the
Borrowers shall have provided to the Agent a certificate signed on its behalf by
its chief financial officer or chief accounting officer (1) certifying as to the
matter referred to in clause (ii)(y) above and (2) setting forth the calculation
of Pro Forma Compliance in reasonable detail after giving effect to such Film
Value Asset Disposition, provided that for the purposes of the calculation to be
made pursuant to this clause (2) only, Ordinary Course Library Film Licensing
Agreements shall not be included.

          (c)  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower will not, and
will not permit its Subsidiaries to, sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly
or indirectly, all or substantially all of the assets of such Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other Person; provided that nothing in
this subsection (c) shall prohibit any Subsidiary from distributing,
contributing or otherwise transferring its assets to a Borrower or a Guarantor.

          (d)  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower will not, and
will not permit its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Licensing Agreement or
series of related Licensing Agreements with respect to any Library Films unless
(i) immediately after entering into any such Licensing Agreement, (x) the
Borrowers shall be in Pro Forma Compliance and (y) no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and (ii) if after giving effect to such Licensing
Agreement the aggregate fair market value of all Film Value Assets that have
been disposed of pursuant to Film Value Asset Dispositions during the then
current Fiscal Year (other than pursuant to Ordinary Course Library Film
Licensing Agreements) exceeds $100,000,000, the Borrowers shall have provided to
the Agent a certificate signed on its behalf by its chief financial officer or
chief accounting officer (1) certifying as to the matter referred to in clause
(i)(x) above and (2) setting forth the calculation of Pro Forma Compliance in
reasonable detail after giving effect to such Film Value Asset Disposition,
provided that for the purposes

                                       64
<PAGE>

of the calculation to be made pursuant to this clause (2) only, Ordinary Course
Library Film Licensing Agreements shall not be included.

          (e) Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower will not, and
will not permit its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Licensing Agreement or
series of related Licensing Agreements with respect to any Films (other than
Library Films) or Film Related Assets if such Borrower or such Subsidiary
conveys, sells, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of, with or without
recourse, its rights to receive payments under any such Licensing Agreement or
series of related Licensing Agreements.

         SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds. The Letters of Credit and the proceeds
of the Term Loans, the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans made on and after the
Effective Date will be used by each Borrower for general corporate purposes.
None of such proceeds and none of the Letters of Credit will be used, directly
or indirectly, in violation of Regulation U or to finance, directly or
indirectly, the acquisition of part or all of a voting interest of 5% or more in
any Person if such acquisition is opposed by the board of directors or
management of such Person.

         SECTION 5.09. Negative Pledge. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary will
create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset now owned or hereafter
acquired by it, except:

          (a) any Lien existing on any asset of any Person at the time such
Person becomes a Subsidiary and not created in contemplation of such event;

          (b) any Lien on any fixed or capital asset securing Debt incurred or
assumed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the cost of acquiring
such asset; provided that such Lien attaches to such asset concurrently with or

interests owned directly by a Foreign Subsidiary). Such Borrower shall cause
each such Material Subsidiary to take such actions as may be necessary or
desirable to effect the foregoing within 30 days after such Material Subsidiary
is acquired or becomes a Material Subsidiary, as the case may be, including
without limitation causing such Material Subsidiary to (x) execute and deliver
to the Agent such number of copies as the Agent may specify of such supplements
and Security Agreement and other documents creating security interests and (y)
deliver such certificates, evidences of corporate action or other documents as
the Agent may reasonably request, all in form and substance satisfactory to the
Agent, relating to the satisfaction of such Borrower's obligations under this
Section. Upon compliance by either Borrower with the provisions of this
subsection (d), Schedule 4.09 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect
that such Material Subsidiary is a Guarantor.

          (e)  Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
take all action necessary in accordance with good business practices to (i)
maintain in full force and effect (x) all trademarks, service marks, trade names

for the conduct of its business as now conducted (collectively, the
"Trademarks") and (y) all copyrights (including without limitation any
copyrights relating to Library Films) and all material rights with respect
thereto, necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted
(collectively, the "Copyrights"), other than such Trademarks and Copyrights
which such Borrower reasonably determines are, in

                                       75
<PAGE>

the aggregate, of insignificant or non-material economic value, or where the
failure to maintain such Trademarks or Copyrights could not, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) protect all
Trademarks and all Copyrights against infringement by third parties, other than
such Trademarks and Copyrights which such Borrower reasonably determines are, in
the aggregate, of insignificant or non-material economic value or where the
failure to maintain such Trademarks or Copyrights could not, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (f)  Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
submit to the United States Copyright Office or other applicable United States
governmental authority (with a copy to the Agent) as soon as reasonably
practicable but in any event, with respect to any Film, no later than 90
Domestic Business Days after the date of release of such Film and, with respect
to any screenplay, within 30 Domestic Business Days after commencement of
principal photography of the relevant Film (i) with respect to each screenplay
or Film which is unregistered and to which either Borrower or any Subsidiary
owns the copyright, a completed application for copyright registration and (ii)
with respect to each screenplay and Film which is registered in the name of a
Person other than any MGM/Orion Company, and in which any MGM/Orion Company
acquires the copyright or any rights in the copyright, an assignment to such
Borrower or such Subsidiary of the interest owned by it.

          (g)  Each Borrower will, and will cause each other Obligor party to a
Security Agreement to, provide a Laboratory Pledgeholder Agreement (as defined
in a Security Agreement) with each laboratory which holds any material film
and/or sound materials, cause such Laboratory Pledgeholder Agreements to remain
in full force and effect during all times when such laboratory is in possession
of such elements, and, pursuant to the Laboratory Pledgeholder Agreements, with
respect to each Film, deliver to the Agent a laboratory access letter,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B thereto, to each laboratory holding any
material film and/or sound materials.

Debt (regardless of whether such Debt arises in one or more related or unrelated
transactions) with respect to which such events or conditions shall have
occurred exceeds $5,000,000;

          (g)  either Borrower or any Material Subsidiary shall commence a
voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other
relief with respect to itself or its debts under any domestic or foreign
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or

other Investment Vehicles);

then, and in every such event, the Agent shall (i) if requested by Lenders
having more than 50% in aggregate amount of the Commitments, by notice to the
Borrowers terminate the Commitments and they shall thereupon terminate, and (ii)
if requested by Lenders holding more than 50% of the sum of (x) the aggregate

protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each
Borrower; provided that in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in
clause (g) or (h) above with respect to either Borrower, without any notice to
either Borrower or any other act by the Agent or the Lenders, the Commitments
shall thereupon terminate and the Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities (
in each case together with accrued interest thereon) shall become immediately
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any

<PAGE>

instruction of the Lenders having more than 50% in aggregate amount of the
Revolving Exposure, pay to the Agent an amount in immediately available funds
(which funds shall be held as collateral and applied pursuant to the Security
Agreement) equal to the aggregate amount available for drawing under all Letters
of Credit then outstanding at such time, provided that, upon the occurrence of

                                   ARTICLE 7
                                   The Agent

          Section 7.01.  Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Agent to enter into and act as its agent in
connection with the Collateral Documents and to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to
the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.

          Section 7.02.  Agent and Affiliates. Bank of America, N.A. shall have
the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may
exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent,
and Bank of America, N.A. and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with either Borrower or
any Subsidiary or affiliate of either Borrower as if it were not the Agent.

          Section 7.03.  Action by Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder
are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect
to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

          Section 7.04.  Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Obligor), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

          Section 7.05.  Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its
affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith
(a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, when
expressly required hereby, such different number of Lenders required to consent
to or to request such

                                       81
<PAGE>

action or inaction) or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in connection with the Loan Documents or any borrowing
hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of any Obligor; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in
Article 3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; (iv)
the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of the Loan Documents or any other
instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith or (v) the existence or
the value of any of the Collateral. The Agent shall not incur any liability by
acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other
writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile transmission or similar
writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or
parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term
"agent" in the Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine or any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a
matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

         Section 7.06.  Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in
accordance with its Credit Exposure, indemnify the Agent, its affiliates and
their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees
and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as
result from such indemnitees' gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such
indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with the Loan Documents or any
action taken or omitted by such indemnitees thereunder.

         Section 7.07.  Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the 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 credit decisions in taking or
not taking any action under the Loan Documents.

         Section 7.08.  Successor Agent.  The Agent may resign at any time by
giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor
Agent with, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of
the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no

                                       82
<PAGE>

successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall
have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives
notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial Lender organized or
licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof
and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights
and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's
resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Agent.

         Section 7.09.  Agent's Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for
its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon
between the Borrowers and the Agent.

         Section 7.10.  Arranger.  The Arranger, in its capacity as such, shall
have no duties or obligations under the Loan Documents and shall not have a
fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

         Section 7.11.  Resignation of Existing Agent; Appointment of Successor
Agent. Each Lender, each Borrower and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
("MGT") in its capacity as Agent under the Original Credit Agreement agree that
effective on and as of the Closing Date, MGT shall resign as Agent under the
Original Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Bank of America, N.A.
shall have been appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and shall have accepted such appointment. Each Lender,
each Borrower and MGT further agree that the provisions of this Article shall
inure to the benefit of MGT as to actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was Agent.

                                   ARTICLE 8
                            Change In Circumstances

         Section 8.01.  Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-
Dollar Loan:

         (a)   the Agent is advised by the Reference Lenders that deposits in
dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Reference
Lenders in the London interbank market for such Interest Period, or

                                       83
<PAGE>

         (b)   Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate principal amount of
the affected Loans advise the Agent that the Adjusted London Interbank Offered
Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Lenders of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period,

the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders,
whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to
make Euro-Dollar Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into
Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan
shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrowers notify the Agent at
least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing
for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to
borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate
Borrowing.

         Section 8.02.  Illegality.  If, on or after the Effective Date, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any
applicable law, rule or regulation, 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, or compliance
by any Lender (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its
Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and
such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrowers, whereupon until such Lender
notifies the Borrowers and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Euro-Dollar
Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be
suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such
Lender shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the
judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such
notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be
converted to a Base Rate Loan either (a) on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such
Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund
such Loan to such day.

         Section 8.03.  Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after
the Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or
any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central

                                       84
<PAGE>

bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement
imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding
any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage),
special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable
Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its
Euro-Dollar Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans or its
obligations hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit and the result of any of
the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan or of issuing or
participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under
this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by
such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender
(with a copy to the Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased
cost or reduction.

          (b)  If any Lender shall have determined that, after the Effective
Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, 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, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Lender's
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Parent)
could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking
into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days
after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrowers shall pay
to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
(or its Parent) for such reduction.

          (c)  Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent of
any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Effective Date, which
will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section and will
designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of
such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any

claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail
the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the method of
calculation thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In
determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

         Section 8.04.  Taxes.  (a) For the purposes of this Section 8.04, the
following terms have the following meanings:

               "Taxes" means any and all present or future taxes, duties,
         levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to
         any payment by any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement or under any
         Note, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the
         case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and
         franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the
         laws of which such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) is
         organized or in which its principal executive office is located or, in
         the case of each Lender, in which its Applicable Lending Office is
         located and (ii) in the case of each Lender, any United States
         withholding tax imposed on such payments but only to the extent that
         such Lender is subject to United States withholding tax at the time
         such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement.

               "Other Taxes" means any present or future stamp or documentary
         taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or similar charges or
         levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or
         under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with
         respect to, any Loan Document.

         (b)  Any and all payments by any Obligor to or for the account of any
Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without deduction
for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if any Obligor shall be required by
law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
such Obligor shall make such deductions, (iii) such Obligor shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Obligor shall furnish to the Agent,
at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of
a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

         (c)  Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for
the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes

                                       86
<PAGE>

or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section) paid by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) and any
liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such
Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

          (d)  Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on
or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other
Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the
Borrowers (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so),
shall provide the Borrowers and the Agent with either (i) Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to
benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which
exempts the Lender from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of
withholding tax on payments of interest for the account of such Lender or
certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii)
if such Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224
pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit E and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service) certifying to such Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption
from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest and fees
(if applicable) made under this Agreement and under any Note.

          (e)  For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to
provide the Borrowers or the Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section
8.04(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation
occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to
be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section
8.04(b) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States. In addition,
for any period with respect to which a Lender described in clause (ii) of
Section 8.04(d) has delivered Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any
successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service) pursuant to such
Section but such form does not establish a complete exemption from deduction of
withholding or similar taxes imposed by the United States, such Lender shall not
be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(b) or (c) with respect to
Taxes imposed by the United States with respect to payments made under this
Agreement or any Note (other than with respect to any such payments constituting
payments of interest). If a Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to
a reduced rate of

                                       87
<PAGE>

withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a
form required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take, at the cost of such Lender,
such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to
recover such Taxes.

          (f)  If any Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to or for
the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section, then such Lender will change
the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment
which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such
Lender.

          Section 8.05.  Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar
Loans. If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make, or convert outstanding Loans
to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (b) any
Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its
Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrowers shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business
Days' prior notice to such Lender through the Agent, have elected that the
provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until
such Lender notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

          (i)  all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or
continued as or converted into) Euro-Dollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate
Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with
the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders); and

          (ii) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid (or converted
to a Base Rate Loan), all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied
to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans
instead.

If such Lender notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer apply, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall
be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding
Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other
Lenders.

          Section 8.06.  Substitution of Lender. If (a) the obligation of any
Lender to make or convert Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to
Section 8.02 or (b) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or
8.04, the Borrowers shall have the right, with the assistance of the Agent, to
seek a mutually satisfactory substitute lender or lenders (which may be one or
more of the Lenders) to purchase the Notes and assume the outstanding Loans, the
Commitment (if any) and the Letter of Credit Liabilities (if any) of such
Lender. Each such Lender agrees to assign all of its outstanding Loans, its
Commitment (if

                                       88
<PAGE>

any), its Notes and its Letter of Credit Liabilities (if any) to any such
substitute lender, without recourse or warranty other than title and outstanding
amount; provided that such substitute lender shall have paid to such Lender in
immediately available funds the principal of and accrued interest to the date of
such payment on its outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (if any)
and all fees owed to it hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE 9
                                   Guaranty

          Section 9.01.  The Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally
guarantees the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise) of all amounts payable by the other Borrower under
this Agreement and any other Loan Document and all Hedging Obligations. Upon
failure by such other Borrower to pay punctually any such amount, each Borrower
agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place
and in the manner specified in this Agreement, the other relevant Loan Document
or the document with respect to any Hedging Obligations (which shall be included
in the definition of "Loan Documents" for purposes of Section 9.02 hereof), as
the case may be.

          Section 9.02.  Guaranty Unconditional.  The obligations of each
Borrower under this Article shall be unconditional and absolute and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or
otherwise affected by:

          (a)  any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release
in respect of any obligation of the other Borrower, any other Obligor or any
other Person under any Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

          (b)  any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement,
any Note or any other Loan Document;

          (c)  any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any
direct or indirect security for any obligation of the other Borrower, any other
Obligor or any other Person under any Loan Document;

          (d)  any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of
the other Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person or any of their
respective Subsidiaries, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other
similar proceeding affecting the other Borrower, any other Obligor or any other
Person or any of their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any
obligation of the

                                       89
<PAGE>

other Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person contained in any Loan
Document;

          (e)  the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which such
Borrower may have at any time against the other Borrower, any other Obligor, the
Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any
unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion
of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

          (f)  any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the
other Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person for any reason of this
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable
law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the other Borrower, any
other Obligor or any other Person of the principal of or interest on any Note or
any other amount payable by the other Borrower under any Loan Document; or

          (g)  any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the
other Borrower, any other Obligor, the Agent, any other Party to any Loan
Document, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever
which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of or defense to either Borrower's obligations under this
Article.

          Section 9.03.  Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement In
Certain Circumstances. Each Borrower's obligations under this Article shall
remain in full force and effect so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment
or any outstanding Letter of Credit under this Agreement or any principal of or
interest on any Loan or any Note or any reimbursement obligation with respect to
any Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement or any other amount
payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Hedging
Obligations shall remain unpaid. If at any time any payment of any amount
payable by the other Borrower under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any document in respect of Hedging Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored or returned upon the insolvency or receivership of the other Borrower
or otherwise, each Borrower's obligations under this Article with respect to
such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not
made at such time.

          Section 9.04.  Waiver by the Borrowers. Each Borrower irrevocably
waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not
provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be
taken by any corporation or person against the other Borrower or any other
Person.

                                       90

          Section 9.05.  Subrogation. Upon making any payment with respect to
the other Borrower under this Article, each Borrower shall be subrogated to the
rights of the payee against such other Borrower with respect to such payment;
provided that the Borrower making such payment pursuant to this Article shall
not enforce any payment by way of subrogation, or by reason of contribution
against any other guarantor of such other Borrower's obligations guaranteed
under this Article, until (x) all amounts of principal of and interest on the
Loans, (y) all reimbursement obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit
and all interest thereon and (y) all other amounts payable by such other
Borrower under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and (z) all Hedging
Obligations have been paid in full, all outstanding Letters of Credit have been
canceled or expired and the Commitments of each Lender have been terminated.

          Section 9.06.  Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for
payment of any amount payable by either Borrower under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or of any Hedging Obligation is stayed by reason of the
insolvency or receivership of such Borrower or otherwise, all such amounts
otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or document in respect of Hedging Obligations shall nonetheless be
payable by the other Borrower under this Article forthwith on demand by the
Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

          Section 9.07.  Limitation on the Obligations. The obligations of each
Borrower solely as a "guarantor" of the obligations of the other Borrower under
this Article shall be limited to an aggregate amount that is equal to the
largest amount that would not render such obligations of such Borrower under
this Article subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable law.

                                  ARTICLE 10
                                 Miscellaneous

          Section 10.01. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications
to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telex,
facsimile transmission (with a copy by Unites States mail) or similar writing)
and shall be given to such party: (a) in the case of either Borrower or the
Agent, at its address, facsimile number or telex number set forth on the
signature pages hereof, (b) in the case of any Guarantor, in care of MGM
Studios, (c) in the case of any Lender, at its address, facsimile number or
telex number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (d) in the case of
any party, such other address, facsimile number or telex number as such party
may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent and the Borrowers.
Each such notice, request or other communication

                                       91
<PAGE>

shall be effective (i) if given by telex, when such telex is transmitted to the
telex number specified in this Section and the appropriate answerback is
received, (ii) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the
facsimile number specified in this Section and confirmation of receipt is
received, (iii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited
in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iv) if
given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this
Section; provided that notices to the Agent under Article 2 or Article 8 shall
not be effective until received.

          Section 10.02.  No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

          Section 10.03.  Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrowers shall pay
(i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent and the Arranger, including
reasonable fees and disbursements of each special counsel for the Agent, in
connection with the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents, any
waiver or consent thereunder, any Tranche C Request with respect thereto or any
amendment thereof or any Default or alleged Default thereunder, (ii) the
reasonable fees and expenses of consultants and other experts retained by the
Agent or the Required Lenders with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that, if such consultants or other
experts shall have been retained in connection with any Default under the Loan
Documents, no such consent shall be required and (iii) if an Event of Default
occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Lender,
including (without duplication) the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside
counsel and the allocated cost of inside counsel, in connection with such Event
of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement
proceedings resulting therefrom.

          (b)  Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender,
their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, trustees,
agents and employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel and settlement costs, which may be incurred by
such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto)
brought or threatened relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any
actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no
Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such
Indemnitee's

                                       92
<PAGE>

own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

          Section 10.04.  Sharing of Set-offs. Each Lender agrees that if it
shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then
due with respect to any Note and any Letter of Credit Liabilities held by it
which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of
the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to any Note
and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving
such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the
Notes held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as
may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest then due
with respect to the Notes and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by the Lenders
shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section
shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or
counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the
payment of indebtedness of any Obligor other than its indebtedness hereunder.
Each Obligor agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Note or Letter of Credit
Liabilities, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may
exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such
participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct
creditor of such Obligor in the amount of such participation.

          Section 10.05.  Amendments and Waivers; Release of Guarantors or
Collateral. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or
waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by
each Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the
Agent or any L/C Issuer are affected thereby, by such Agent or such L/C Issuer,
as relevant); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall:

          (a)  unless signed by all the Lenders with a Commitment of any Class,
increase or decrease the Commitments of such Class (except for a ratable
decrease in all the Commitments of such Class), subject any such Lender to any
additional obligation, or postpone the date fixed for the scheduled termination
of any Commitment of such Class;

          (b)  unless signed by all Lenders holding Loans of any Class, reduce
the principal of or rate of interest on any Loans of, or fees with respect to,
such Class, postpone the date fixed for any scheduled payment of such fees or
the principal of or interest on any such Loans, or decrease the aggregate amount
by which such Loans are required to be repaid on any date scheduled pursuant to
Section 2.04 or postpone any date for such repayment;

                                       93
<PAGE>

          (c) unless signed by all Revolving Lenders, reduce the amount to be
reimbursed in respect of any Letter of Credit or of any interest with respect to
any Letter of Credit Liabilities or any fees payable by reference to the Letters
of Credit hereunder, postpone the date fixed for any payment of the amount to be
reimbursed in respect of any Letter of Credit or any interest thereon or any
fees payable by reference to the Letters of Credit hereunder or (except as
expressly provided in Section 2.14) expiry date of any Letter of Credit;

          (d) unless signed by the Swing Lender and each other Lender affected
thereby, increase the Swing Loan Commitment, postpone the date fixed for the
termination of the Swing Loan Commitment or otherwise affect any of its rights
or obligations hereunder;

          (e) unless signed by all the Lenders, (i) except as provided in
Section 2.01(i) hereof, add any new tranche or class of commitments or loans
under this Agreement or (ii) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes or the Letter of Credit
Liabilities or the number of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or
any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement.

Any provision of the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement and the Notes)
may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing
and is signed by the relevant Obligor and the Agent with the consent of the
Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed
by all the Lenders, effect or permit (i) a release of all or substantially all
of the Collateral or, except as provided in Section 2.01(i) hereof, provide for
the sharing of such Collateral with additional obligations or (ii) a release of
all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the
Subsidiary Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Collateral shall be released
from the Lien of the Collateral Documents from time to time as necessary to
effect any sale or pledge of assets permitted by the Loan Documents, and the
Agent shall execute and deliver all release documents reasonably requested to
evidence such release.

         SECTION 10.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Obligor may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

          (b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more Lenders or other
institutions (other than a Competitor) (each a "Participant") participating
interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans or Letter of Credit
Liabilities. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating
interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrowers and the
Agent, such

                                       94
<PAGE>

Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations
hereunder, and the Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may
grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any
modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (a),
(b), (c), or (d) of, or in the proviso in the penultimate sentence of, Section
10.05 without the consent of the Participant. Each Borrower agrees that, without
duplication of amounts payable to the relevant Lender, each Participant shall,
to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the
benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participating interest. An assignment
or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be
given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a
participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

          (c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Lenders or other
institutions (including any fund that regularly engages in making, purchasing or
investing in loans) (each an "Assignee") all, or a proportionate part of all, of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes with respect to
its Commitment of any Class or its outstanding Loans of any Class or its letter
of Credit Liabilities, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and
obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially
the form of Exhibit C hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor
Lender, with (and subject to) the subscribed consent of each Borrower, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Agent and, solely with respect to any
assignment of the Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit
Liabilities, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Lender; provided that (i) if an
Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Lender or was a Lender immediately
prior to such assignment, no such consent shall be required, (ii) if such
transferor Lender pursuant to such assignment assigns to an Assignee a part (but
not all) of its Commitment or Loans of any Class or its Letter of Credit
Liabilities, then the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all
Classes (if any), (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of
all Classes (if any) and (z) the aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities (if any)
held by such Assignee immediately after giving effect to such assignment and
retained by the transferor Lender immediately after giving effect to such
assignment shall each be at least $1,000,000 and (iii) no Lender shall enter
into any assignment with a Competitor. Upon execution and delivery of such
instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount
equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such
Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have
all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in

                                       95
<PAGE>

such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released from
its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or
action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment
pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Agent and the
Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes
are issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the
transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing
such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not incorporated
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall
deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent certification as to exemption from
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance
with Section 8.04.

          (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 10.06 concerning assignments of
Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do
not purport to regulate assignments creating security interests, including,
without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to
any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. No such assignment
shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

          (e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender's
rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or
8.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (x) with each Borrower's prior
written consent or (y) by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04
requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under
certain circumstances or (z) at a time when the circumstances giving rise to
such greater payment did not exist.

          (f) For purposes of this Section 10.06, "Competitor" means any Person
whose primary line of business is the entertainment industry (any such Person,
an "Entertainment Person"), or any Person controlled by, or under common control
with, any Entertainment Person.

          (g) Each Borrower hereby designates the Agent to serve as such
Borrower's agent, solely for purposes of this subsection 10.06(g), to maintain a
register (the "Register") on which the Agent will record the Commitments from
time to time of each Lender, the Loans made by each Lender and each repayment in
respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender and to retain a copy
of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to
this Section. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such
recordation, shall not affect either Borrower's obligation in respect of such
Loans. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of
manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each
Person in whose

                                       96

name a Loan and the Notes evidencing the same is registered as the owner thereof
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice or any provision
herein to the contrary. With respect to any Lender, the assignment or other
transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of,
and interest on, any Loan made and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement
shall not be effective until such assignment or other transfer is recorded on
the Register and, except to the extent provided in this subsection 10.06(g),
otherwise complies with Section 10.06, and prior to such recordation all amounts
owing to the transferor Lender with respect to such Commitments, Loans and Notes
shall remain owing to the transferor Lender. The registration of assignment or
other transfer of all or part of any Commitments, Loans and Notes for a Lender
shall be recorded by the Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the
Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement.
The Register shall be available at the offices where kept by the Agent for
inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time upon
reasonable prior notice to the Agent. The Borrowers may not replace any Lender
pursuant to Section 8.06, unless, with respect to any Notes held by such Lender,
the requirements of subsection 10.06(c) have been satisfied.

         SECTION 10.07. Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Agent
and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any
"margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or
maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

         SECTION 10.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This
Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York. Each Obligor hereby submits to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City
for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Obligor irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now
or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in
such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.

         SECTION 10.09. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same
effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the
parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

         SECTION 10.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT
AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

         SECTION 10.11. Confidentiality. The Agent and each Lender agrees to
keep any information delivered or made available by any Obligor pursuant to the
Loan Documents confidential from anyone other than persons employed or retained
by such Lender who are engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or
administering the credit facility contemplated hereby; provided that nothing
herein shall prevent the Agent or any Lender from disclosing such information
(a) to any other Lender or to any other Agent, (b) to any other Person if
reasonably incidental to the administration of the credit facility contemplated
hereby, (c) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (d) upon the

which the Agent, any Lender or its subsidiaries or Parent may be a party, (g) to
the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder,
(h) to such Lender's or such Agent's legal counsel and independent auditors and
(i) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in this
Section, to either (A) any actual or proposed Participant or Assignee or (B) any
direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to the
professional advisors of such swap counterparties.

         SECTION 10.12. Non-reliance on Tracinda. It is understood by the
parties that neither Kirk Kerkorian nor Tracinda nor any other Investor
individually or collectively, is a party to this Agreement or any other
agreement contemplated hereby. Accordingly, in the event (a) there is any
alleged breach or default by any party under this Agreement or any other
agreement contemplated herein, or (b) any party has any claim arising from or
relating to any such agreement, no party, nor any third party claiming through
such party, shall claim, commence any proceeding or otherwise seek to impose any
liability whatsoever against Kirk Kerkorian or Tracinda or any other Investor by
reason of such alleged breach, default or claim.

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of August 7,
2000 between Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and JAY RAKOW ("Executive").

The parties agree as follows:

1.   Employment and Title.  Effective as of August 7, 2000 (the "Effective
     --------------------
Date"), the Company employs Executive as, and Executive accepts employment to
serve as, Senior Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Company all
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the powers
and authority set forth in Paragraph 2 below.

2.   Powers and Authority.
     --------------------

     (a)  Subject to the direction of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
(the "CEO") and the Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer (the "COO") of
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., the Company's parent ("MGM"), Executive shall have
such duties and responsibilities as are customarily associated with Executive's
title.

     (b)  Executive's services shall be exclusive to the Company and its
subsidiaries.  Executive shall devote Executive's best efforts and Executive's
full business time (except as

                                       1
<PAGE>

provided in the following sentence) to the services to be performed hereunder.
Executive may serve on the boards of directors (and committees thereof) of (but
in no other capacity for) other companies and non-profit organizations, may
manage the investment of Executive's personal assets, and may make new
investments of Executive's personal assets in other companies so long as such
activities do not materially interfere with Executive's duties hereunder and
(other than investments not to exceed one percent (1%) of the total outstanding
in publicly traded securities) such companies do not directly compete with the
Company.

     (c)  Executive agrees to comply with the Company's policies and procedures
as in effect from time to time (and which are not inconsistent with this
Agreement) to the extent that such policies are furnished to Executive in
writing.

3.   Location.  The location of Executive's principal place of employment shall
     --------
be in the Company's principal executive offices in the greater Los Angeles,
California area; provided, however, that Executive shall perform such occasional
services outside of Los Angeles as are, in the reasonable determination of the
Executive, the CEO or the COO, reasonably required for the proper performance of
Executive's duties under this Agreement.

4.   Reporting.  Executive shall report jointly to the CEO and COO.
     ---------

5.   Availability. Each party represents and warrants to the other that he or it
     ------------
has the full power and authority to enter into and perform his or its
obligations under this Agreement and

                                       2
<PAGE>

that his or its execution of and performance under this Agreement shall not
constitute a default under or breach of the terms of any other agreement or
order of any court or governmental authority to which he or it is a party or
under which he or it is bound.  Each party shall defend and hold harmless the
other for any and all claims, demands, losses or damages (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) arising from any action against any such party due to a breach
of any representation and warranty contained in this Paragraph or based upon any
allegations of interference with contractual obligations or the like relating to
the negotiation or execution of this Agreement.

6.   Term.  Subject to the provisions for earlier termination set forth in
     ----
Paragraph 11, the term of Executive's employment hereunder shall commence on the
Effective Date and continue through August 6, 2003 (the "Initial Term").  The
Company shall have an option (the "Option"), exercisable in writing on or before
ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term to extend the term
of this Agreement for an additional two (2) year period commencing on August 7,
2003 and terminating August 6, 2005 (the "Option Term"). The Initial Term and
the Option Term, if any, are herein called the "Term."  Neither the Company nor
Executive will have any obligation to renew or extend this Agreement beyond the
Term.

7.   Compensation.
     ------------

     (a)  Salary.  In full consideration for the services to be rendered by
          ------
Executive, and in full discharge of the Company's salary obligations, Company
shall pay to Executive and Executive shall accept:  an annualized base salary of
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per annum for the first twelve-month
period of the Initial Term, an amount to be determined by

                                       3
<PAGE>

the Company for the second and third twelve-month periods of the Initial Term
and during each twelve-month period of the Option Term, if any, after a good
faith review of Executive's base salary and performance prior to the beginning
of such period, but in no event less than the annualized base salary being paid
to Executive as of the date of such good faith review (each amount less tax
withholdings required by law and other voluntary deductions authorized by
Executive), payable bi-weekly in arrears commencing on the first regular bi-
weekly payment date; provided, however, that the annualized base salary during
the first year of the Option Term, if any, shall be at least ten percent (10%)
higher than the annualized base salary being paid to Executive immediately prior
thereto;

     (b)  Bonus Plan.  So long as Executive is rendering services hereunder,

          ---------
be accorded all rights and benefits under any life insurance, disability
insurance, health and major medical insurance policy or policies which the
Company provides for its senior officers or employees generally.  Nothing in
this paragraph shall require the Company to retain any particular policy or
plan, but a reasonable medical insurance benefit package shall be maintained.

     (f)  Employee Benefit Plans.  Executive shall be entitled to participate in
          ----------------------
and/or receive all other employee benefits under any 401(k) plan, savings plan,
pension plan and other similar plan or program which the Company provides for
its senior officers or employees generally, all subject to the terms and
conditions of the various benefit plans; provided that nothing herein shall
require the Company to adopt or maintain, or limit the ability of the Company to
amend or modify, any particular employee benefit plan, program or policy.

receive the same compensation and benefits set forth in Paragraph 8(a), except
that the benefits provided in Paragraph 7(e) shall continue for what would be
the remainder of the Initial Term or the Option Term (if any), as the case may
be, but for such termination (the "Remaining Period") in accordance with the
terms of each respective policy or plan (provided, however, that if prior to the
expiration of the Remaining Period Executive receives any of the types of
benefits specified in Paragraph 7(e) from a subsequent employer, the Company
shall immediately cease to provide such types of benefits received from the
subsequent employer).

     (c)  If the Agreement is terminated under Paragraph 11(c) or 11(e) below,
or expires pursuant to its terms, Executive shall have no duty to mitigate
damages and shall receive: (i) the compensation provided in Paragraph 7(a)
through the Remaining Period, payable as provided in Paragraph 7(a) so long as
Executive does not breach Paragraph 13 hereof, which shall survive the
termination of this Agreement, subject to the Company's right to offset against
such compensation any amounts earned by Executive through other employment
(other than self-employment) prior to the expiration of the Remaining Period;
and (ii) the benefits provided in Paragraph 7(e) (other than disability
insurance) for the Remaining Period in accordance with the terms of each
respective policy or plan (provided, however, that if prior to the expiration of
the Remaining Period, Executive receives any of the types of benefits specified

Incentive Plan (the "Plan").  Management agrees to recommend to the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of MGM that Executive be granted options to
purchase Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of MGM Common Stock, $.01 par
value per share.  As contemplated herein, such options will, among other things,
be effective as of the date of grant and will be exercisable in accordance with
the general terms and restrictions contained in the standard Executive Stock
Option Agreement issued by MGM and provided to Executive.  The option grant will
be more fully reflected in a stock option agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto, with such changes as are necessary to implement Paragraph 9 of
this Agreement.

10.  Property Rights.
     ---------------

     (a)  Executive agrees that all results and proceeds of his services,
including any ideas, programs, formats, plans and arrangements, composed,
conceived or created by him during the period of this employment, solely or in
collaboration with others (collectively, the "Creations'), whether or not same
is made at the request or suggestion of the Company, or during or outside
regular hours of work, shall at all times be and remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Company.  Executive further agrees that he will, at the request
of the Company, execute and deliver to the Company, in form satisfactory to the
Company, documents evidencing the

                                       7
<PAGE>

Company's ownership to the foregoing; but notwithstanding that no such documents
are executed, the Company, as Executive's employer, shall be deemed the owner
thereof immediately upon creation. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination,
for any reason, of this Agreement.

     (b)  Notwithstanding Paragraph 10(a) above, the Company shall not own any
Creations created by Executive prior to the Term or solely during Executive's
leisure hours during the Term, which Creation is not related in any manner to,
or derived in any manner from, any projects, concepts and/or intellectual
property of any nature of the Company or any of its affiliates.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Executive agrees to submit to the Company any such Creation which
Executive desires to commercially exploit, and the Company will notify Executive
within ten (10) business days of receipt if the Company desires to start
negotiations for rights thereto.  If no agreement is reached within thirty (30)
days after the start of negotiations, then Executive will make an offer to the
Company for such rights and if the Company does not accept, Executive may
negotiate elsewhere the rights so offered.

11.  Termination.  Executive's employment shall terminate:
     -----------

     (a)  Upon the death of Executive.

available to Executive in confidence. Except in the performance of Executive's
duties on behalf of the Company or as required by law, Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly for any reason whatsoever, disclose or use any such

public domain. All records, files, drawings, documents, equipment and other
tangible items, wherever located, relating in any way to the Confidential
Material or otherwise to the Company's business, which Executive prepares, uses,
or encounters, shall be and remain the Company's sole and exclusive property and

Executive agrees that Executive shall not engage in Unfair Competition either
during the time Executive is employed by the Company or at any time thereafter.

          (i)  directly or indirectly, either alone or jointly with or on behalf
     of any corporation or entity of which Executive is a director, employee or
