Exhibit 10.51
AMENDMENT NO 2 TO FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT
Amendment No. 2 dated as of September 9, 2009 (this “Amendment”) to the Forbearance
Agreement and Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Other Note Documents dated as of
September 2, 2009 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of September 4, 2009, the
“Forbearance Agreement”).
The parties hereto agree that the following provisions of the Forbearance Agreement are
amended as follows (all section references below refer to Sections in the Forbearance Agreement
and all capitalized terms used without definition have the meaning given in the Forbearance
Agreement):
1. Amendments to the Forbearance Agreement:
a) : Recitals: Recital F to the Forbearance Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows. |
“F. Pursuant to that certain distribution agreement by and between LAC FILMS, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“LAC”), the Company and Overture Films, LLC
(“Overture”), dated as of January 20, 2009 (as amended pursuant to that certain amendment letter
dated as of February 20, 2009, that certain Second Amendment to Agreement dated as of May 20, 2009,
and that certain Third Amendment to Agreement dated as of July 20, 2009, the “Overture Agreement”),
the Company is required to provide a letter of credit in favor of, or make a payment to, Overture
in the amount of $5 million (such amount, the “Overture Obligation”) for Overture’s use in
covering certain domestic distribution expenses in connection with the motion picture presently
entitled “Law Abiding Citizen”. To date the Company has deposited monies in the aggregate amount of
$1,224,416.00 into a reserve account maintained at the Collateral Agent (the “Overture Reserve
Account”), thus leaving a shortfall of $3,775,585.00 (such funding shortfall, the “Overture
Reserve Account Shortfall”) with respect to the Company’s ability to comply with its obligation
to satisfy the Overture Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the
Holders have agreed to deposit immediately available funds in the amount of the Overture Reserve
Account Shortfall (the advancing of such funds, the “Overture Advance”) into the Overture
Reserve Account (or, at the Holders discretion, directly to an account designated by Overture in
accordance with the Overture Agreement) upon the satisfaction of each condition precedent to the
effectiveness of this Agreement.”
b) Correction. The incorrect reference to “September 4, 2009” as the date of the
Forbearance Agreement in the introductory paragraph of Amendment No. 1 to Forbearance
Agreement is deleted and replaced with “September 2, 2009”.
2. Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment
does not constitute a waiver or a modification of a provision of the Forbearance Agreement or a
waiver of any Forbearance Default under the Forbearance Agreement and the Forbearance Agreement and
the other Second Lien Documents shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the
provisions thereof on the date hereof and are hereby ratified and affirmed.
3. References. This Amendment shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be
deemed (a) to be a consent granted pursuant to, or a waiver or modification of, any other term or
condition of the Forbearance Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein
or (b) to prejudice any right or rights which the Collateral Agent or the Holders may now have or
have in the future under or in connection with the Forbearance Agreement or any of the instruments
or agreements referred to therein. Whenever the Forbearance Agreement is referred to in the
Forbearance Agreement or any of the instruments, agreements or other documents or papers executed
or delivered in connection therewith, such reference shall be deemed to mean the Forbearance
Agreement as modified by this Amendment.
4. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one
instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page hereto by facsimile or other
electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
