This AMENDMENT NUMBER SIX AND WAIVER TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this
“Amendment”) is entered into as of January 11, 2007, by XXXXX FARGO FOOTHILL, INC., a
California corporation (“Lender”), and IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation,
f/k/a Image Entertainment, Inc., a California corporation, (“Borrower”), with reference to
the following:
WHEREAS, Borrower and Lender are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender make certain amendments to the Loan Agreement and
grant a waiver of certain Events of Default that have occurred under the Loan Agreement; and
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender is willing to make the
amendments and grant the consents and waiver requested by Borrower.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby.
2. Amendments to Loan Agreement.
(a) Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
definitions in proper alphabetical order or amending and restating the following definitions, as
the case may be:
““Maximum Revolving Credit Amount” means $5,000,000.”
(b) Section 2.1(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:
“(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Foothill
agrees to make revolving advances (“Advances”) to Borrower in an
amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed at any one time the lesser
of (i) the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount less the Letter of Credit Usage,
or (ii) the Borrowing Base less the Letter of Credit Usage. For purposes of
this Agreement, “Borrowing Base,” as of any date of determination,
shall mean an amount equal to the lesser of:
(i) seventy percent (70%) of the amount of Eligible Accounts
less the amount, if any, of the Dilution Reserve, and
(ii) an amount equal to Borrowing Base Parties collections
with respect to Accounts for the immediately preceding
forty-five (45) day period.”
(c) Section 6.12 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:
“6.12 [Intentionally Omitted.]”
3. Acknowledgements and Agreements. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that as of the
date hereof, Borrower was indebted to the Lender for obligations, advances, loans, and other
financial accommodations under the Loan Documents in the amount of $0.00 plus accrued interest
thereon, plus accrued and unpaid fees, costs and expenses due and owing in connection therewith
under the Loan Documents. Lender and Borrower hereby acknowledge that on January 5, 2006, Borrower
delivered a Notice of Termination of Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement to Lender
pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Loan Agreement. As a result of such termination notice,
Lender and Borrower hereby acknowledge that the Obligations shall be paid in full and the
commitment of Lender to make any advances under the Loan Agreement shall be irrevocably terminated
on or before May 5, 2007. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.5 of the
Loan Agreement, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender is entitled to an Early Termination
Premium of $250,000, which Early Termination Premium is fully-earned as of January 5, 2006 and
shall be due and payable by Borrower in immediately available funds to Lender concurrently with the
payment in full of the Obligations; provided, however, the foregoing
notwithstanding, the Early Termination Premium shall be (a) reduced to $125,000 if Lender receives
evidence satisfactory in its sole and absolute determination that (i) on or before February 28,
2007, Borrower shall have received from institutional lenders, investment funds, prospective
buyers, or other sources of capital one or more letters of intent and/or term sheets involving
funding sufficient to repay in full in cash all of the Obligations (such letters of intent and/or
term sheets, the “Termination Proposal Letters”) and (ii) on or before March 31, 2007,
Borrower shall have received from institutional lenders, investment funds, prospective buyers, or
other sources of capital one or more signed commitment letters involving funding sufficient to
repay in full in cash all of the Obligations (such signed commitment letters, the “Termination
Commitment Letters”) and (b) waived in its entirety if Lender receives evidence satisfactory in
its sole and absolute determination that (i) on or before February 15, 2007, Borrower shall have
received the Termination Proposal Letters and (ii) on or before March 15, 2007, Borrower shall have
received the Termination Commitment Letters.
4. Waiver. Lender hereby waives (i) the Events of Default that have occurred as a
result of the failure by Borrower to comply with Section 6.12 of the Loan Agreement with
respect to the months ending October 31, 2006, November 30, 2006, and December 31, 2006 and (ii)
the Event of Default that has occurred as a result of failure by Borrower to comply with the
covenant
contained in Section 4 of that certain Limited Consent and Waiver, dated as of August
30, 2006, between Lender and Borrower.

the “Releasees”), from any and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, causes of
action, damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind or character, known or unknown, past or

might hereafter have against any such Releasee which relates, directly or indirectly, to the Loan
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to any acts or omissions of any such Releasee with respect
to the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to the lender-borrower relationship evidenced

that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and
having been so advised, Borrower specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542
of the Civil Code of California which provides as follows:

OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

and (iii) are not in contravention of any law, rule, or regulation applicable to it, or any order,
judgment, decree, writ, injunction, or award of any arbitrator, court, or Governmental Authority,
or of the terms of its Governing Documents, or of any contract or undertaking to which it is a
party or by which any of its properties may be bound or affected; (b) this Amendment and the Loan
Agreement, as amended hereby, are legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable
against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms; and (c) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred (other than as waived herein) and is continuing on the date hereof or as of the date
upon which the conditions precedent set forth herein are satisfied.

effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any party delivering
an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or electronic mail also shall deliver an
original executed counterpart of this Amendment, but the failure to deliver an original executed
counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment.

remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and hereby are ratified

and modifications herein are limited to the specifics hereof, shall not apply with respect to any
facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based, shall not excuse future

to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein”, “hereof” or words
of like import referring to the Loan Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents
to “the Loan Agreement”, “thereunder”, “therein”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to
the Loan Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Loan Agreement as modified and amended
hereby.
(c) To the extent that any terms and conditions in any of the Loan Documents shall
contradict or be in conflict with any terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement, after giving
effect to this Amendment, such terms and conditions are hereby deemed modified or amended
