WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Administrative Agent and the requisite Lenders (as described in Section 4 of this Waiver and Amendment) have agreed, that the Overhead Covenant Default be waived and the Credit Agreement be amended on the terms set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(b) all interest and fees contemplated to be payable to Stretch Lender must be self-liquidating in that it they must be reserved from the Xxxx 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxx borrowings or otherwise payable only pursuant to the terms of the intercreditor agreement referenced in clause (h) below;
(c) any Lien in favor of Stretch Lender securing such Indebtedness shall be limited to Liens in the tax incentives for Xxxx 00, xxxxxxx (excluding UK) rights for Xxxx 00, and the products and proceeds directly relating thereto, but shall not extend to any distribution rights in the Domestic Territory, the UK Territory or the products or proceeds thereof; provided, that solely to the extent necessary to enable Stretch Lender to, subject in all cases to the intercreditor agreement described below, exercise remedies on the collateral described before this proviso, Stretch Lender may also have (i) a Lien in the physical materials relating to Xxxx 00 and the copyright in Mile 22 and (ii) an equity pledge in the
2
stock of a Permitted Obligor, but only so long as such Permitted Obligor holds no right or interest in or to: (x) any domestic or UK rights in Xxxx 00; (y) any physical materials or the copyright in Mile 22 or (z) any assets unrelated to Mile 22;
(d) the Lenders shall have recouped 100% of all loans extended hereunder on the basis of any receivables or tax incentives for Xxxx 00, xxxxxxxx with any interest, fees and expenses relating to Mile 22 with proceeds from foreign (excluding the UK Territory) revenues and tax incentives attributable to Mile 22 (the occurrence thereof, the “Senior Production Debt Recoupment”) before Stretch Lender may be repaid any of the Xxxx 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxx;
(e) Stretch Lender may have a claim against the proceeds of Mile 22 from the Domestic Territory and UK Territory (the “Self-Distribution Territories”) but only after any P&A Credit and any UK P&A Credit extended against Xxxx 00 have been recouped, and any loans extended under the Seer P&A Credit Agreement for Xxxx 00 have been recouped, solely via proceeds of Mile 22 from the Self-Distribution Territories (the occurrence thereof, the “Senior P&A Recoupment”);
(f) prior to the Seasoning Date, no Borrowing Base value may be included on the basis of foreign receivables or tax incentives for Xxxx 00, even if foreign receivables or tax incentive receivables exist that would in the absence of the Xxxx 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxx be eligible for Borrowing Base credit, until such point as the Xxxx 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxx has been repaid in full, unless the intercreditor agreement described below clearly provides for the Loans extended hereunder on the basis thereof to be recouped prior to any recoupment by Stretch Lender. Following the Seasoning Date, foreign receivables or tax incentive receivables that would in the absence of the Xxxx 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxx be eligible for Borrowing Base credit may be included in the Borrowing Base subject to clause (g) below;
(g) upon the Seasoning of Xxxx 00, 000% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount (if any) of the Xxxx 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxx must be deducted from the Borrowing Base;
(h) Stretch Lender must have executed an intercreditor agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with the Administrative Agent, Seer P&A Agent and Subordinated Agent, which is consistent with the above and provides for, among other things, that:
(i) Stretch Lender may take collection and enforcement actions only against Borrower’ foreign (non-UK) obligors and tax credit obligors for Xxxx 00 or enforcement actions against the equity interests of a Permitted Obligor and may in each case do so only after the occurrence of Senior Production Debt Recoupment and only then if an event of default is in existence under the documentation for the Xxxx 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxx; provided further that no such collection or enforcement action may
3
be taken against any output partner of the Credit Parties or any sublicensee with multiple sub-license agreements with a Credit Party without prior consultation with the Administrative Agent;
(ii) any exercise of remedies by the Stretch Lender involving either the copyright or physical materials relating to Xxxx 00 xxxxx xx exercised solely to the extent necessary for Stretch Lender to collect foreign value or tax credit value from Xxxx 00 or to re-license foreign rights in Mile 22 or to make delivery of copies of Mile 22 to sublicenses in connection with same, and shall in all cases remain subject to the Administrative Agent’s continuing lien therein;

(d) Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the following terms in their entireties:
“Five Picture Rolling P&A Coverage Ratio” shall mean the ratio (expressed as a percentage), determined on each applicable P&A Test Date, of (i) the sum (without duplication) of (a) the Net Ultimates for the five most recent STX Pictures distributed by the Borrower and for which P&A Expenses have been funded by the Borrower (with “Free State of Xxxxx” to be the first picture to be included in the first testing pool), plus (b) the Credit Parties’ share (net of third party payment obligations) of any other cash value collected or expected to be collected by the Credit Parties attributable to such STX Pictures to the extent such value extends beyond the portion (if any) thereof that has ever been included in the Borrowing Base and to the extent the Credit Parties are permitted under all applicable contractual arrangements to use such value towards recoupment of their P&A Expenses or loans extended to finance such P&A Expenses, minus (c) solely to the extent that any Reallocated US-UK Excess Value is then in effect under the Five Picture UK Rolling P&A Coverage Ratio, an amount equal to all UK P&A Expenses (from first dollar, whether or not recouped) for the Subject UK Pictures that are also included in the Five Picture Rolling P&A Coverage Ratio, plus (d) solely to the extent that any Reallocated US-UK Excess Value is then in effect under the Five Picture UK Rolling P&A Coverage Ratio, an amount equal to the Net UK Value for the Subject UK Pictures that are also included in the Five Picture Rolling P&A Coverage Ratio divided by (ii) all P&A Expenses with respect to such STX Pictures. Europa Pictures shall not be included in calculations of the Five Picture Rolling P&A Coverage Ratio or, for the avoidance of doubt, in calculations of the P&A Advance Rate.
“Remaining Ultimates” shall mean, with respect to each Seasoned Picture being distributed by an Approved Domestic Distributor and which was released theatrically, the amounts during the First Cycle Period which are projected to thereafter become payable (but in the case of home entertainment ultimates (whether physical or digital home entertainment), limited to rolling 18-month
4
forward looking projections unless home entertainment is being distributed by, and ultimates are being provided by, a Major Studio, and such ultimates from the Major Studio show a longer tenor for projections) to the Credit Parties or Co-Financing Venture Entities (with respect to the Credit Parties’ share thereof) or to a Major Studio (with respect to the Credit Parties’ share thereof pursuant to a Revenue Participation) under the applicable Distribution Agreement for the Domestic Territory from theatrical, home entertainment (including electronic sell-through, SVOD, TVOD and other digital forms) and pay television and free television in the Domestic Territory (or solely in cases where a Major Studio is the distributor and Ultimates Provider, any medium and from any territory for any tenor not in excess of the First Cycle Period) after deduction (without duplication) for any and all amounts deductible, recoupable or which may be offset by the applicable Approved Domestic Distributor from its obligation to make payments to the Credit Parties or Co-Financing Venture Entities (with respect to the Credit Parties’ share thereof) or Major Studio (with respect to the Credit Parties’ share thereof pursuant to a Revenue Participation) (including without limitation, recoupments of any advances, print and advertising or other distribution expenses, and any distribution fees or any payments made or to be made directly by such Approved Domestic Distributor (including, without limitation, any residual, participation or contingent payment) to any Person other than a Credit Party or Co-Financing Venture Entity (with respect to the Credit Parties’ share thereof) or Major Studio (with respect to the Credit Parties’ share thereof pursuant to a Revenue Participation), who is entitled to any portion of the proceeds of such Picture). The calculations of the Remaining Ultimates shall be determined solely based on the written ultimates reports provided by the Ultimates Provider that have been delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Remaining Ultimates for a Picture shall be calculated initially on the date on which such Picture becomes a Seasoned Picture (which initial calculation shall be provided to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5.1(k)(i)) and thereafter in accordance with Section 5.1(k)(ii). The Remaining Ultimates (i) in the case of any receipts anticipated to be received and expenses expected to be incurred beyond one (1) year from the applicable date of determination, will be discounted to a present value based on a notional discount rate equal to the greater of (1) 8% and (2) the rate then accruing on Alternate Base Rate Loans on the applicable calculation date, and (ii) will not include any amounts in which the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) does not have a first priority perfected security interest under the UCC and applicable copyright law (subject only to the Specified Permitted Encumbrances described in Section 6.2(b)), other than with respect to Revenue Participations, in which case such perfected security interest requirement shall only apply to the payment obligation of the Major Studio in favor of the Credit Party. For the avoidance of doubt, pay-TV ultimates will be subject to the terms of the applicable rate card agreement. Additionally, Remaining Ultimates may be attributable to theatrical revenue only to the extent that (a) the Credit Parties are the theatrical distributor in the Domestic Territory and (b) the Credit Parties’ calculations of the Remaining Ultimates attributable to theatrical revenues shall be determined on conventional market standards for
5
theatrical films. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) no amounts payable by Europa to the Credit Parties with respect to any Europa Picture may be included as a Remaining Ultimate in the Borrowing Base, (ii) no amounts may be included as a Remaining Ultimate in the Borrowing Base with respect to a Europa Servicing Picture, and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, any Remaining Ultimates credit for Europa Rights Pictures shall be included solely to the extent attributable to any windows and media in which Borrower holds a license of rights (as opposed to merely provides services for), and after deducting the portion of the anticipated Borrower revenues that shall be payable by the Borrower to Europa or that shall be required to pay applicable residuals or participations.
“Remaining Ultimates Report” shall mean, with respect to any Seasoned Picture, a written estimate of the Remaining Ultimates for such Picture prepared by a Credit Party on the basis of a written ultimate report provided by an Ultimates Provider (that has been, or is concurrently with the Remaining Ultimates Report, delivered to the Administrative Agent), which estimate shall be calculated in the manner described in the definition of “Remaining Ultimates” and shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
“Ultimates Advance Rate” shall mean, as of any date of determination, (a) with respect to home entertainment ultimates (whether attributable to physical or digital) prior to the first shipping of principal packaged home entertainment materials, 70% and (b) with respect to any other ultimates permitted to be leveraged hereunder, 80%; provided, that if the Ultimates Percentage is less than 100%, then the Ultimates Advance Rate shall be 70% or 80% (as applicable) multiplied by such Ultimates Percentage, except that the Ultimates Advance Rate may never be greater than the applicable percentage set forth above.
“Ultimates Percentage” shall mean, for any date at which it is to be determined (the “Determination Date”) with respect to the four most recent Seasoned Pictures for which Remaining Ultimates have been included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base and for which six months have elapsed from the date upon which each such Picture became a Seasoned Picture, a ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (i) the sum of (a) Remaining Ultimates for such Seasoned Pictures as of the Determination Date, plus (b) the actual proceeds received by the Borrower or any Guarantor (and not payable to a third party) with respect to each such Picture after it became a Seasoned Picture but prior to the Determination Date to (ii) the total Remaining Ultimates for each such Seasoned Picture as determined on the date it first became a Seasoned Picture (including under the Existing Corporate Facility Agreement). Each computation of the Ultimates Percentage performed hereunder shall contain detail satisfactory to the Administrative Agent breaking out the projections and performance relating to the relevant rights by window and by Ultimates Provider (including specifically isolating the media in which Credit Parties self-distribute (e.g., digital home entertainment) versus those where the Credit Parties sub-license rights (e.g., physical home entertainment)).
6
“Ultimates Provider” shall mean, in the case of: (a) anticipated home entertainment revenues in the Domestic Territory (with respect to physical home entertainment), a Major Studio that is distributing home entertainment for the relevant Qualifying Picture, or other home entertainment distributor that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent under an additional or replacement home entertainment distribution agreement that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (b) anticipated home entertainment revenues in the Domestic Territory (with respect to digital home entertainment), (i) prior to a license or sale of the relevant home entertainment rights by the Credit Parties, the Borrower and (ii) thereafter, a Major Studio that is distributing home entertainment for the relevant Picture, the Borrower, or other home entertainment distributor that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent under a home entertainment distribution agreement that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (c) anticipated pay television revenues in the Domestic Territory, Showtime Networks, and any other pay television distributor that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent under a replacement pay television distribution agreement that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (d) free television revenues in the Domestic Territory (i) prior to a license of sale or license of the relevant free television rights, the Borrower and (ii) thereafter, the relevant free television distributors for the Domestic Territory, (e) any territory and media for which it is distributing the relevant Picture, the relevant Major Studio and (g) domestic theatrical revenues, the Borrower if it is directly exploiting the rights in such medium in the Domestic Territory.

(g) Section 5.1(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the first sentence thereof in its entirety as follows:
