Lender, if requested by the Borrower, shall deliver documentation prescribed by
Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower to enable the Borrower to
determine whether or not the Lender is subject to withholding, backup
withholding or information reporting requirements.
16
(f) If
the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of
or any credit for any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified
by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9, it shall
pay over such refund or credit to the Borrower (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section 2.9
with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit),
net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund or credit); provided,
that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount
paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is
required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental
Authority. This Section 2.9 shall not
be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the
Borrower or any other Person.
Section
2.10 Interest
Adjustments.
(a) If
the provisions of this Credit Agreement or any Note would at any time require
payment by the Borrower to the Lender of any amount of interest in excess of the
maximum amount then permitted by Applicable Law, the interest payments to the
Lender shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the Lender shall not
receive interest in excess of such maximum amount. If, as a result of the
foregoing, the Lender shall receive interest payments hereunder or under the
Note in an amount less than the amount otherwise provided hereunder, such
deficit (hereinafter called the “Interest
Deficit”) will, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
cumulate and will be carried forward (without interest) until the termination of
this Credit Agreement. Interest otherwise payable to the Lender hereunder and
under the Note for any subsequent period shall be increased by the maximum
amount of the Interest Deficit that may be so added without causing the Lender
to receive interest in excess of the maximum amount then permitted by the law
applicable to the Loan.
(b) The
amount of any Interest Deficit relating to the Loan and the Note shall be
treated as a prepayment penalty and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, be paid in full at the time of any optional prepayment by the
Borrower to the Lender of the Loan at that time outstanding pursuant to Section 2.7(a)
hereof. The amount of any Interest Deficit relating to the Loan and
the Note at the time of any complete payment of the Loan at that time
outstanding (other than an optional prepayment thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(a)
hereof) shall be canceled and not paid.

or assets are bound, other than where any such violation could not, either

Adverse Effect, (v) will not be in conflict with, result in a material breach
of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a material default
under, or create any right to terminate, any Material Agreement of the Borrower
(other than a Material Agreement existing prior to or as of the Closing Date)
and (vi) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or
encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the

Governmental Authority required for the consummation of the execution, delivery

Fundamental Documents to which it is a party, and the execution and delivery by
the Borrower of the Note, have been duly obtained or made or duly applied for,

not reasonably be expected to (and would not if enforced by the relevant
Governmental Authority) result in a requirement that the Borrower pay a material
amount of money or the imposition of any fine or other enforcement action
against the Lender, and could not reasonably be expected to (and could not if
enforced by the relevant Governmental Authority) have a Material Adverse Effect;
and if any further authorizations, approvals, registrations or filings should
hereafter become necessary, the Borrower shall obtain or make all such
authorizations, approvals, registrations or filings.
Section
3.4 Binding
Agreements. This Credit
Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents when executed, will constitute the

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and to general principles of equity.
Section
3.5 Federal
Reserve Regulations. The Borrower is
not engaged principally or as one of its important activities, in the business
of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin
Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used, directly or
indirectly, whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately (i) to purchase or
carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or (ii) for any other purpose, in each
case, violative of or inconsistent with any of the provisions of any regulation
of the Board, including, without limitation, Regulations T, U and X
thereto.
Section
3.6 Investment
Company Act. The Borrower is
not, nor will it during the term of this Credit Agreement be, (i) an “investment company,” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) subject
to regulation under the Federal Power Act or any foreign, federal or local
statute or any other Applicable Law of the United States or any other
jurisdiction, in each case limiting its ability to incur indebtedness for money
borrowed as contemplated hereby or by any other Fundamental
Document.
Section
3.7 Taxes. The Borrower has
filed or caused to be filed all federal and all material state, local and
foreign tax returns which are required to be filed with any Governmental
Authority after giving effect to applicable extensions, and has paid or has
caused to be paid all Taxes as shown on said returns which, if not paid, could
become an obligation of any Theatre Direct Company or could become a Lien on the
Collateral or, on any assessment received by the Borrower in writing which, if
not paid, could become an obligation of any Theatre Direct Company or could
become a Lien on the Collateral, to the extent that such taxes have become due,
except as permitted by Section 5.11
hereof. The Borrower does not know of any material additional
assessments or any basis therefor which, if not paid, could become an obligation
of any Theatre Direct Company or could become a Lien on the
Collateral. To the Borrower’s knowledge, the charges, accrual and
reserves on its books in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are
adequate in accordance with GAAP.
19
Section
3.8 Compliance
with ERISA. Except as could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each of the
Borrower’s Plans has been maintained and operated by the Borrower in all
respects in accordance with all Applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code,
each Plan (if any) intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code so
qualifies, no Reportable Event has occurred since January 23, 2008 as to any
Plan of the Borrower, and the present value of all benefits under all Pension
Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, in the
aggregate, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the
actuarial value of the assets of such Pension Plans. Except as
disclosed on Schedule
3.8 or
as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no
liability has been, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no circumstances
exist, in either case, pursuant to which any liability is reasonably likely to
be imposed upon the Borrower which, if not paid, could become an obligation of
any Theatre Direct Company or could become a Lien on the Collateral (i) under
Sections 4971 through 4980E of the Code, Sections 502(i) or 502(1) of ERISA, or
Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Plan, Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan,
(ii) for the failure to fulfill any obligation to contribute to any
Multiemployer Plan, or (iii) with respect to any Plan that provides
post-retirement welfare coverage (other than as required pursuant to Section
4980B of the Code or other Applicable Law). Neither the Borrower nor
any ERISA Affiliate has received any notification that any Multiemployer Plan is
in reorganization or has been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of
ERISA, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no Multiemployer Plan is
reasonably expected to be in reorganization or to be terminated.

of the Pledged Securities are free and clear of any Liens granted by the
Borrower, other than (i) those created pursuant to this Credit Agreement, and
(ii) the Permitted

the Company transferred by the Lender pursuant to the Hollywood
SPA.
(b) Article 10 of this
Credit Agreement creates in favor of the Lender a valid, binding and enforceable
security interest in, and Lien upon, all right, title and interest of the
respective Pledgors in the Pledged Securities owned by them and constitutes a
perfected security interest and Lien upon all right, title and interest of the
Pledgors in such Pledged Securities (provided,
that the definitive instruments (if any) representing all Pledged Securities
shall have been delivered to the Lender (or to the JPM Administrative Agent as
gratuitous bailee for the Lender) (and the Lender (or the JPM Administrative
Agent) has taken possession or control of such Pledged Securities in New York)
together (in the case of Pledged Securities comprising capital stock) with

hereof).

Effect. The Loan made hereunder and the intended use of the proceeds
of the Loan as described in the Introductory Statement hereto and as
contemplated by Section 5.17 hereof

not entered, nor is it entering into, the arrangements contemplated hereby and
by the other Fundamental Documents, nor does it intend to make any transfer or
incur any obligations hereunder or thereunder, with actual intent to hinder,
delay or defraud either present or future creditors. On and as of the

forma basis after giving effect to all Indebtedness (including the Loan)
and all rights to contribution: (i) the Borrower believes that the sum of the
present fair saleable value of the assets of the Borrower and the Theatre Direct
Companies will exceed the probable liability of the Borrower and the Theatre
Direct Companies on their debts; and (ii) the Borrower believes that it and the
Theatre Direct Companies will not have incurred nor intend to, nor believes that
they will incur, debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts
mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by the
Borrower and the Theatre Direct Companies from any source) and (iii) the Borrower believes that
it and the Theatre Direct Companies will have sufficient capital with which to
conduct its and their present and proposed businesses and that the property of

small capital with which to conduct their present or proposed
business. For purposes of this Section 3.12, “debt” means any liability or
a claim. and “claim”
means any (y) right to payment whether or not such right is reduced to judgment.

misconduct of the Lender, (y) any claims with respect to the Collateral asserted
against an Indemnified Party by a Credit Party in which such Credit Party is the
prevailing party or (z) any act or omission of a Theatre Direct Company
prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) the Lender shall not have any liability or
obligation to any Credit Party arising out of any such claim except for acts of
willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. In any action
hereunder, the Lender shall be entitled if permitted by Applicable Law to the
appointment of a receiver without notice, to take possession of all or any
portion of the Collateral and to exercise such powers as the court shall confer
upon the receiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, and during the continuation of such Event of Default,
the Lender shall be entitled to apply, without prior notice to any of the Credit
Parties, any cash or cash items constituting Collateral in the possession of the
Lender to payment of the Obligations.

Section
8.7 Application
of Proceeds after Event of Default. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, the balances in any account of any Collateral Party
with the Lender, all other income on the Collateral, and all proceeds from any
sale of the Collateral pursuant hereto shall be applied first toward payment of
the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid or incurred
by the Lender in enforcing this Credit Agreement, in realizing on or protecting
any Collateral and in enforcing or collecting any Obligations or any Guaranty
thereof, including, without limitation, court costs and the reasonable
attorney’s fees, and expenses incurred by the Lender, and then to the payment in
full of the Obligations; provided,
however,
that, the Lender may in its discretion, apply funds comprising the Collateral to
pay the cost of performing under any Material Agreement. Any amounts
remaining after such payment in full shall be remitted to the appropriate Credit
Party or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
Section
8.8 Power
of Attorney. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default which is not waived
in writing by the Lender, (a) each Collateral Party does
hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint the Lender or any of its officers or
designees its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power in the name of
the Lender,
such other Person or such Collateral Party to receive and open all mail
addressed to any Collateral Party, and to endorse any notes, checks,
drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral
that may come into the possession of the Lender with full power and right to
cause the mail of such Persons to be transferred to the Lender’s own offices or
otherwise, and to do any and all other acts necessary or proper to carry out the
intent of this Credit Agreement and the grant of the security interests
hereunder and under the Fundamental Documents, and each Collateral Party hereby
ratifies and confirms all that the Lender or its substitutes shall properly do
by virtue hereof; and (b) each Credit Party does hereby further irrevocably
make, constitute and appoint the Lender or any of its officers or designees its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact in the name of the Lender or any Credit Party
(i) to enforce all of such Credit Party’s rights under and pursuant to all
agreements with respect to the Collateral, all for the sole benefit of the
Lender as contemplated hereby and under the other Fundamental Documents and to
enter into such other agreements as may be necessary or appropriate in the
judgment of the Lender to complete the distribution or exploitation of any
copyright or trademark which is included in the Collateral, (ii) to enter into
and perform such agreements as may be necessary in order to carry out the terms,
covenants and conditions of the Fundamental Documents that are required to be
observed or performed by such Credit Party, (iii) to execute such other and
further mortgages, pledges and assignments of the Collateral, and related
instruments or agreements, as the Lender may reasonably require for the purpose
of perfecting, protecting, maintaining or enforcing the security interests
granted to the Lender hereunder and under the other Fundamental Documents, and
(iv) to do any and all other things necessary or proper to carry out the
intention of this Credit Agreement and the grant of the security interests
hereunder and under the other Fundamental Documents. Each of the
Credit Parties hereby ratifies and confirms in advance all that the Lender as
such attorney-in-fact or its substitutes shall properly do by virtue of this
power of attorney.
37
Section
8.9 Financing
Statements, Direct Payments. Each Credit Party
hereby authorizes the Lender to file UCC financing statements and any amendments
thereto or continuations thereof; any Copyright Security Agreement, any
Copyright Security Agreement Supplement, any Trademark Security Agreement, and
any other reasonably appropriate security documents or instruments and to give
any notices necessary or desirable to perfect the Lien of the Lender in the
Collateral, in all cases without the signature of any Credit Party or to execute
such items as attorney-in-fact for any Credit Party; provided,
that the Lender shall provide copies of any such documents or instruments to the
Borrower. Each Collateral Party hereby specifically authorizes the
Lender to describe and indicate the collateral covered by any such UCC financing
statement as “all
assets” and/or “all
personal property” of such Collateral Party now owned or hereafter
acquired. Each Collateral Party further authorizes the Lender to
notify, at the time that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any account debtors that all sums payable to such Collateral Party
relating to the Collateral shall be paid directly to the Lender.
Section
8.10 Termination and
Release.
(a) The
security interests granted under this Article 8 shall
terminate when all the Obligations have been fully paid. Upon request
by the Credit Parties (and at the sole expense of the Credit Parties) after such
termination, the Lender will promptly take all reasonable action and do all
things reasonably necessary, including, without limitation, executing UCC
termination statements, termination letters to account debtors and copyright and
trademark releases, to terminate the security interest granted to Lender
hereunder, provided,
that the Lender shall only be required to deliver such documents to the Borrower
or applicable Credit Party and shall have no obligation to file or record any
such document.
(b) Upon
any Disposition or other transfer by any Credit Party of any Collateral that is
permitted under this Credit Agreement to any person that is not a Credit Party,
or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security
interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.10, the
security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released and the
Lender shall take steps reasonably requested by the Borrower, including those
set forth in clause (a) above, to terminate the security interest granted to
Lender hereunder.
Section
8.11 Remedies
Not Exclusive. The remedies
conferred upon or reserved to the Lender in this Article 8 are
intended to be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy or
remedies available to the Lender. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Lender shall have all rights and remedies of a secured
creditor under Article 9 of the UCC and under any other Applicable
Law.
Section
8.12 Continuation
and Reinstatement. Each Credit Party
further agrees that the security interest granted hereunder shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may he, if at any time payment or any
part thereof of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the
Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party or
otherwise.

ARTICLE
10 – PLEDGE
Section
10.1 Pledge. Each Pledgor, as
security for the due and punctual payment of the Obligations (including interest
accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of
reorganization of the Borrower whether or not post filing interest is allowed in
such proceeding) hereby pledges, hypothecates, assigns, transfers, sets over and
delivers unto the Lender, a security interest in all Pledged Collateral now
owned or hereafter acquired by it. On the Closing Date, the Pledgors
shall deliver to the Lender the definitive instruments (if any) representing all
Pledged Securities, accompanied by undated stock powers, (in the case of Pledged
Securities comprising capital stock), duly endorsed or executed in blank by the
appropriate Pledgor, and such other instruments or documents as the Lender or
its counsel shall reasonably request. The initial Pledged Securities
are listed on Schedule
10.1. The Lender shall have the right to update Schedule 10.1 to
reflect any additions to the Pledged Securities after the Closing Date (provided,
that its failure to do so shall not invalidate any pledge of Pledged
Securities). The parties agree that to the extent any such Pledged
Securities have been delivered to the JPM Administrative Agent, such delivery
shall satisfy the delivery requirements hereunder, and the JPM Administrative
Agent shall hold such Pledged Securities as a gratuitous bailee for the Lender
hereunder.
Section
10.2 Covenant. Each Pledgor
covenants that as the owner of Equity Interests in each Theatre Direct Company
it will not take any action to allow any additional shares of common stock,
preferred stock or other Equity Interests of any Theatre Direct Company the
securities of which constitute Pledged Securities pursuant to the definition
thereof, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into common or preferred
stock or other Equity Interests of such Theatre Direct Company to be issued, or
grant any options or warrants with respect to the securities of such Theatre
Direct Company, unless all of such securities are pledged to the Lender as
security for the Obligations.
Section
10.3 Registration
in Nominee Name; Denominations. Until an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall have the right
to hold the certificates representing any Pledged Securities in the name of the
appropriate Pledgor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the
Lender. The Lender shall have the right to exchange the certificates
representing any of the Pledged Securities for certificates or smaller or larger
denominations for any purpose consistent with this Credit
Agreement.
Section
10.4 Voting Rights; Dividends;
etc.
(a) The
appropriate Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or
consensual rights and powers accruing to an owner of the Pledged Securities
being pledged by it hereunder or any part thereof for any purpose not
inconsistent with the terms hereof, at all times, except as expressly provided
in paragraph (c) below.
(b) All
dividends or distributions of any kind whatsoever (other than cash dividends or
cash distributions paid while no Event of Default is continuing) received by a
Pledgor on account of any Pledged Securities, whether resulting from a
subdivision, combination, or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock
or Equity Interests of the issuer or received in exchange for the Pledged
Securities or any part thereof or as a result of any merger, consolidation,
acquisition, or other exchange of assets to which the issuer may be a party, or
otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Securities pledged hereunder
and shall immediately be delivered to the Lender, to be held subject to the
terms hereof. All dividends and distributions which are received contrary to the
provisions of this subsection (b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of
the Lender, segregated from such Pledgor’s own assets, and shall be delivered to
the Lender.
39
(c) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice from
the Lender of the transfer of such rights to the Lender, and subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, all rights of such Pledgor with respect to any Pledged
Securities (i) to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers which
it is permitted to exercise pursuant to this Section 10.4, and
(ii) to receive and retain cash dividends and cash distributions shall cease,
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Lender, which shall
have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and/or
consensual rights and receive such cash dividends and cash distributions, in
each case with respect to such Pledged Collateral, until such time as such Event
of Default has been cured or waived.
(d) So
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any cash
dividends or cash distributions received by a Credit Party in accordance with
the terms hereof may be used for any purpose not prohibited
hereunder.
40
Section
10.5 Remedies
Upon Default. If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Lender may sell the Pledged Securities, or any part thereof, at
public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange,
for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Lender shall deem
appropriate subject to the terms hereof or as otherwise provided in the UCC or
Applicable Law. The Lender shall be authorized to exercise its
remedies with respect to the Pledged Securities in any order it deems
appropriate. The Credit Parties hereby waive any and all rights of
marshalling as between the Domestic Pledged Securities and the Foreign Pledged
Securities. The Lender shall be authorized at any such sale (if it
deems it advisable to do so) to restrict to the full extent permitted by
Applicable Law the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons, who will
represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Securities for their
own account or investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale
thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale, the Lender shall have the right
to assign, transfer, and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Pledged Securities so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale
shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the
part of any Pledgor. The Lender shall give the Pledgors ten (10)
days’ prior written notice of any such public or private sale, or sale at any
broker’s board or on any such securities exchange, or of any other Disposition
of the Pledged Securities. Such notice, in the case of public sale,
shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of sale at a
broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at
which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Securities, or
portion thereof will first be offered for sale at such board or
exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times
within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Lender may fix
and shall state in the notice of such sale. At any such sale, the
Pledged Securities, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an
entirety or in separate parcels, as the Lender may (in its sole and absolute
discretion) determine. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any
sale of the Pledged Securities if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of
the fact that notice of sale of the Pledged Securities may have been
given. The Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any
public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. In case the sale of all or any part of the Pledged
Securities is made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Securities so
sold shall be retained by the Lender until the sale price is paid by the
purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Lender shall not incur any liability in
case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the
Pledged Securities so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged
Securities may be sold again upon like notice. At any sale or sales made
pursuant to this Section 10.5, the
Lender may bid for or purchase, free from any claim or right of whatever kind,
including any equity of redemption, of the Pledgors, any such demand, notice,
claim, right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the maximum
extent permitted by Applicable Law, any or all of the Pledged Securities offered
for sale, and may make any payment on the account thereof by using any claim for
moneys then due and payable to the Lender by any Credit Party as a credit
against the purchase price; and the Lender, upon compliance with the terms of
sale, may hold, retain and dispose of the Pledged Securities without further
accountability therefor to any Pledgor or any third party (other than the
Lender). The Lender shall in any such sale make no representations or
warranties with respect to the Pledged Securities or any part thereof, and shall
not be chargeable with any of the obligations or liabilities of the Pledgors
with respect thereto. Each Pledgor hereby agrees (i) it will
indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against any and all claims
(other than Permitted Encumbrances) with respect to the Pledged Securities
asserted before the taking of actual possession or control of the Pledged
Securities by the Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement, or arising out of
any act of, or omission to act on the part of, any Person prior to such taking
of actual possession or control by the Lender (whether asserted before or after
such taking of possession or control), or arising out of any act on the part of
any Pledgor, its agents or Affiliates before or after the commencement of such
actual possession or control by the Lender but excluding therefrom all claims
with respect to the Pledged Securities resulting from (w) the gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of the Lender, (x) any claims with respect to
the Pledged Securities asserted against an indemnified party by a Credit Party
or Pledgor in which such Credit Party or Pledgor is the prevailing party,
(y) any event or circumstance which exists as of the Closing Date with
respect to the Theatre Direct Companies and (z) any event with respect to a
Theatre Direct Company which occurs after the Closing Date due to facts or
circumstances existing on or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) the Lender
shall have no liability or obligation arising out of any such claim except for
acts of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. As an
alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Lender
may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the
Collateral and Pledged Securities under this Credit Agreement and to sell the
Pledged Securities, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a judgment or decree of
a court or courts having competent jurisdiction.
41
Section
10.6 Securities
Act; etc. In view of the
position of each Pledgor in relation to the Pledged Securities pledged by it, or
because of other present or future circumstances, a question may arise under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as now or hereafter in effect, or any
similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and
any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being hereinafter called
the “Federal
Securities Laws”), with respect to any disposition of the Pledged
Securities permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that
compliance with the Federal Securities Laws may very strictly limit the course
of conduct of the Lender if the Lender were to attempt to dispose of all or any
part of the Pledged Securities, and may also limit the extent to which or the
manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Securities may dispose
of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or
limitations affecting the Lender in any attempt to dispose of all or any part of
the Pledged Securities under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws,
or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Under Applicable Law,
in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the Lender may perhaps be held
to have certain general duties and obligations to a Pledgor to make some effort
towards obtaining a fair price even though the Obligations may be discharged or
reduced by the proceeds of a sale at a lesser price. Each Pledgor
waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any such general duty
or obligation to it, and the Pledgors and, or the Credit Parties will not
attempt to hold the Lender responsible for selling all or any part of the
Pledged Securities at an inadequate price, even if the Lender shall accept the
first offer received or does not approach more than one possible
purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
provisions of this Section 10.6 would
apply if, for example, the Lender were to place all or any part of the Pledged
Securities for private placement by an investment banking firm, or if such
investment banking firm purchased all or any part of the Pledged Securities for
its own account, or if the Lender placed all or any part of the Pledged
Securities privately with a purchaser or purchasers.
Section
10.7 Continuation and
Reinstatement. Each Pledgor
further agrees that its pledge hereunder shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Lender upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise.
Section
10.8 Termination. The pledge referenced
herein shall terminate (a) when all of the Obligations shall have been fully
paid and (b) in the event that any Theatre Direct Company the securities of
which are Pledged Securities is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of as
part of a Disposition or other transaction permitted under this Credit
Agreement, at which time, in either case, the Lender shall promptly assign and
deliver to the appropriate Pledgor, or to such Person or Persons as such Pledgor
shall designate, against receipt, such of the applicable Pledged Securities (if
any) as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied by the Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof and shall still be held by it hereunder, together with
appropriate instruments of reassignment and release. Any such
reassignment shall be free and clear of all Liens, arising by, under or through
the Lender but shall otherwise be without recourse upon or warranty by the
Lender and at the expense of the Pledgors.
ARTICLE
11 – CASH COLLATERAL
Section
11.1 Cash
Collateral Accounts. On or prior to
the Closing Date, there shall be established with a financial institution or
commercial bank acceptable to the Lender a collateral account or accounts in the
name of the Company (collectively, the “Cash
Collateral Account”), into which the appropriate Credit Parties shall
from time to time deposit amounts pursuant to the express provisions of this
Credit Agreement requiring or permitting such deposits. The Cash Collateral
Account shall be under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the
UCC) of the financial institution or commercial bank designated by the Lender
(pursuant to an Account Control Agreement in form satisfactory to the Lender);
provided,
that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall
promptly permit the release of funds from the Cash Collateral Account in
accordance with the directions of the Borrower, which may be given in the form
of a standing sweep instruction or otherwise. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Lender agrees that any Cash Collateral Account established by the JPM
Administrative Agent may be used as a Cash Collateral Account hereunder, with
the JPM Administrative Agent to hold cash therein as gratuitous bailee of the
Lender, and as used herein “Cash Collateral Account”
shall mean any such account so established.
42
Section
11.2 Investment of
Funds.
(a) The
Lender is hereby authorized and directed to allow the funds from time to time
transferred or deposited into the Cash Collateral Account to be invested and
reinvested, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on
the instructions of the Borrower (provided,
that any such instructions given orally shall be confirmed promptly in writing)
or, if the Borrower shall fail to give such instructions upon delivery of any
such funds, in the sole discretion of the Lender, provided,
that in no event may the Borrower give instructions to the Lender or any bank
holding the Cash Collateral Account to, nor may the Lender or such bank in its
discretion, invest or reinvest funds in the Cash Collateral Account in other
than Cash Equivalents.
(b) Any
net income or gain on the investment of funds from time to time held in the Cash
Collateral Account shall be promptly reinvested as a part of the Cash Collateral
Account; and any net loss on any such investment shall be charged against the
Cash Collateral Account.
(c) The
Lender shall not be a trustee for any Credit Party, or shall have any
obligations or responsibilities, or shall be liable for anything done or not
done, in connection with the Cash Collateral Account except for any acts of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, except as expressly provided herein and
except that the Lender shall have the obligations of a secured party under the
UCC. The Lender shall not have any obligation or responsibility and
shall not be liable in any way for any investment decision made in accordance
with this Section
11.2 or for any decrease in the value of the investments held in the Cash
Collateral Account except for any acts of gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
Section
11.3 Grant of
Security Interest. For value
received and to induce the Lender to make Loan to the Borrower as provided for
in this Credit Agreement, and as security for the payment of all of the
Obligations, each of the Theatre Direct Companies hereby grants to the Lender, a
perfected and priority security interest in and upon all of such Theatre Direct
Company’s rights in and to the Cash Collateral Account, all cash, documents,
instruments and securities from time to time held therein, and all rights
pertaining to investments of funds in the Cash Collateral Account and all
products and proceeds of any of the foregoing, subject, in the case of a Cash
Collateral Account established under the JPM Credit Agreement, to the first
priority lien of the JPM Administrative Agent and the lenders under the JPM
Credit Agreement. All cash, documents, instruments and securities
from time to time on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, and all rights
pertaining to investments of funds in the Cash Collateral Account shall
immediately and without any need for any further action on the part of any of
the Credit Parties, or the Lender, become subject to the Lien set forth in this
Section 11.3,
be deemed Collateral for all purposes hereof and be subject to the provisions of
this Credit Agreement.
43
Section
11.4 Remedies. At any time
during the continuation of an Event of Default, but subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Lender may sell any documents, instruments and securities held in
the Cash Collateral Account and may immediately apply the proceeds thereof and
any other cash held in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section
8.7.

agrees to pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with, or
growing out of, any waiver or modification of this Credit Agreement and any

Agreement, the Note or the other Fundamental Documents, or as a result of any
transaction, action or non-action arising from any of the foregoing, including,
but not limited to, the fees and disbursements of any outside counsel for the

Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender
and its directors, officers, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified
Party”) (to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law) from and against
any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments, damages and liabilities
(including liabilities for penalties) incurred by any of them as a result of, or
arising out of, or by reason of, any investigation, litigation or other
proceeding (whether or not the Lender is a party thereto) brought against Lender
in its capacity as Lender hereunder relating to the entering into and/or the
performing of any Fundamental Document (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in
connection with any Hollywood Closing Documents) or the use of the proceeds of
the Loan or the consummation of the transaction contemplated in any Fundamental
Document, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements
of any outside counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation,
litigation or other proceeding (but excluding (i) any such losses, liabilities,

found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court to have been incurred by
reason of the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party or (B) as a result of, arising out of, or by reason of
completing the Hollywood Acquisition; and (ii) litigation solely between

any reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by the Lender in appearing as a
witness or in otherwise complying with legal process served upon
